Because of reports of bad food con-

DIPLOMATIC BREAKs NOT
ALWAYS FOLLOWED az WAR.

The breaking Of diplomatic relations
between two countries has not always
been followed by war. 1t is recognized
always as a preliminary step toward
war, but there have been cases where
war has not followed or where 1t has
been postponed for many months after
diplomatic ties were severed.
In May. 1918. Italy declared war on
Austria Hungary. simultaneously the
German ambassador to Rome Prince
Buelow, was forced to leave Italy, TAX
Ing with him all German diplomatic
and consular officers. At the same mo-
ment the Italian ambassador to Berlin
was handed his passports. The break
between the two countries was com
plete from the diplomatic standpoint
But though war was hotly waged be-
tween Italy and Germany's ally, there
was no actual declaration of war
against Germany until more than a
year later.
Twice the United States has more
or less summarily dismissed British
ministers to Washington.
In 1909 Minister jackson was hand
ed his passports as the result of what
were practically charges Of falsehood
and duplicity made by him against the
American secretary OF state. That
was Of course. preliminary to the war
of 1872, but war did not begin until
three years later.
Lord Sackvllle-West, British minis
ter to the United States, was dismissed
by the Washington government In
1888. because Of personal letters he
had been trapped into writing which
were regarded as unwarranted inter
ference with domestic politics. In this
instance the American minister was
not recalled, nor was he handed his
passports, and no declaration Of war
followed the incident.
When the Emperor Macmillan was
executed In Mexico In 1867 his brother,
Emperor Francis Joseph. withdrew all
his diplomatic and consular officers
from Mexico. Diplomatic relations
were not resumed for more than thirty
years. But during all that time Aus
trian subjects lived in peace I'm Mexico
and we're not molested by the Mexican
government. The fact that the Aus
trian forces withdrew from Mexico un.

States Is to be considered as a control

MORE SUGAR IS CONSUMED
Amount Used In United States Has In
creased Far More Rapidly Than
the Production.

The people Of the United States have
growing fondness for sweet things.
Uncle Sam says. This Is shown by
the fact that the increase In the con-
sumption Of sugar In the United States
has been far greater than the increase
In population. The total consumption
OF sugar in this country for the decade
ending with the fiscal year 1923 was
42.9 per cent greater than the consump-
tion for the preceding decade, while
the population for the same period in
creased only Fl per cent.
The country Is not only using more
sugar, but 1t is producing n larger por-
tion Of its total supply During the
decade ending with 1928, as COM
pared with the decade ending with
19O2-3, the percentage Of the total sup
ply produced at home increased 36.6
per cent. and the supply from noncOn-
ttguous possessions ga per cent,
while, on the other hand. the percent
age imported from foreign countries
decreased 200 per cent.

tERRiBtzt NEEDS OF GERMANS
: INDIc TED BY SPEECH OF
HOFER.

The Hague, March 10.-Futher ex-
tracts from the speech Of the Social
list deputy, Herr Hofer, during the
sensational food debate in the Prus-
sian diet. are printed in the Berlin
Vorwaerts, The Vorwaerts quotes
Herr Hofer as saying:
"The government vacillates be-
tween fear Of agrarians and fear of
the masses like reed in the wind.
If you insist on carrying on war
you must see that the people are ade-
quately fed. The mortality among
elderly people is increasing at terri
BILE rate, while epidemics are spread
ing everywhere, owing to the de-
creased powers of resistance. The
situation is much more serious than
has been admitted The number of
suicides is increasing easarents are
killing their children, owing to their
inability to obtain food for them.
Yet the price of potatoes, which long
ago became generally scarce, is to be
raised. Does it not suffice for the
government to incur the hatred of the
whole world or do they also want
revolution at home? The people have
been fed on fine words long enough; /;
we demand Deeds"
The Vorwaerts says that Herr Hof-
er was frequently cheered. Elsewhere
the paper says that it has latterly re-
ceived numerous complaints of the
poor quality and Indifferent prepara-
ton of the food supplied in the popu-
lar food kitchens at midday and de-
C. I.s that the evening meals in these
ph. .es are unfit for consumption.
The Vorwaerts asks what will be
the charge in summer if this is the
case in the present cold weather.

MRS. KELLER DECLARES SHE
FEELS BETTER THAN IN Z
YEARS.
GAINED TWENTY POUNDS
After Eight Years of Suffering,
Greenville Woman Says Tanlac
Soon Banished TrSx a.,

"a gain of twenty pounds-and

ed and digest it properly, too, even
if had suffered about eight years

The remarkable results given Mrs.
Annie Keller, of 115 Murphy St.,
Greenville, by Tanlac were described
in her highly interesting statement,
Of which the above paragraph is a
part. Continuing, Mrs. Keller said {:
81 suffered from indigestion and
stomach trouble particularly which
had for maybe six or eight years,
anyway; it was long time and fail
ed to find any medicine that would
break up my trouble. I suffered a
great deal with pains in my stomach
and chest after meals and also burn
ing sensation, and gas on my stom-
ach also troubled me a lot.
81 had headaches so badly that l
could hardly endure them at times
and my nerves were on edge. My
appetite had left me and l did not
eat enough hardly to keep one alive,
and had to be vVry careful with
what l ate. Then 1 began taking

NUTMEG STATE lEAQS
Connecticut Still Holds Record
for Inventive Genius.
Uncle sam's Figures Show That One
Out Of Every 1902 Inhabitants
Secured Patent In 1916.

Uncle Sans official figures show that
Connecticut continues to lead the union
in the number Of It's inventors. That
keen Yankee inventive talent, which
gave to Connecticut the nickname OF
"the wooden nutmeg state" secures to
the little New England state prmacy
In every annual report of the commits
sioner Of patents as the state where
there are more inventors than In any
other state of the Union.
This record Is borne out in the an
nual report for the year 1916, just filed
with congress by Thomas Ewing, COM
missioner of patents. During the year
Lip patents were granted to COnnecu-
cut inventors, or one to every 1902 in
habitants.
The other extreme Is represented by
the state Of Mississippi. During the
year only Ill patents were granted to
Mississippuns, or one to every 18, 100
inhabitants. For the territory of
Alaska four patents were issued, one
for every 1G,OS9 inhabitants. The Phil
lpplnes made the lowest record for in
ventive genius among the outlying pos
sessions. Only six patents were issued
during the year to persons in the Phil
ippines, or one for every 1,272,571 in
habitants.
There Is wide disparity Of inven-
tive talent In the different states, it ap-
pears from the report. For example,
the proportion Of inventions to popula-
ton In some Of the states during the
year follows:
1ndiana-One for every 2,723 inhab-
itants.
ohio-one for every 1893 inhabi-
tants.
Kentucky-One for every 1,7eO in
habitants.
Colorado-One for every 1,76O inhab-
itants.
Florida-one for every 4,Os2 inhab-
itants.
Montana-One for every 1860 inhab-
-itants.
Nebraska-One for every 3,129 in
habitants.
Washington state-One for every l.
464 Inhabitants.
1daho-One for every S134 inhab-
itants.
Pennsylvanla-One for every 1885

MANY USE RATIONAL FORES us
and Half People In Year, Says
Head Of Service.

That over million and half peo-
pie use the national forests as play
grounds each year Is the statement Of
Henry 8. Graves, chief Of the forest
service. Located as they are" said
Mr.. Graves. "the national forests
comprise many regions of superb seem
cry and unexcelled recreation attrac-
tion. In very real sense these at
fractions Of the forests constitute q
natural resource that must be safe
guarded, utilized and developed"
Mr.. Graves stated that quarter Of
century had passed since the estab-
lishment Of the national forests by q
law which marked the beginning Of a
new method Of public land admiMstra-
tion. The nineteenth century land
system, he said, was one wholly Of
land distribution, which was success
full as applied to agricultural lands
but unsuccessful as applied to nom
agricultural lands chiefly valuable for
growing timber. The keynote Of the
present-day policy is to secure such a
disposition, use, and development Of
the public lands as will render q maxi
mum service to the public.
'The country has recognized that
public lands Of chief value for forest
purposes and essential to protect wa
ter resources should remain under pub.
lie control" Mr.. Graves. continued
