consideration--that Great Britain eX- aggerates the number of ships elud- ing the German "blockade,' that she does not report all those sunk, that Germany's claims regarding the num- Der of food ships needed in Britain are exaggerated, and tIat her deduc tions of the percentage she sinks or can sink are much inflated. And look ing at this proposition from every angle it looks safe to suppose that the u-boat depredations cannot be the factor Germany thought they would be.
 On the face of all claims, from both sides, it would seem to dispassion- ate umpire that it would be wisdom for Germany not to give the United States offense with that "overt act.' It would be folly to create another enemy over something that on the face of returns is failing to annihil- ate the enemy merchant fleet, as was evidently expected.
 Of course, this is not saying that the sinking of from six to ten allied and neutral contr,,band-c ships will not be serious thing to Great Britain; but what we are say ing dispassionately is that such small results cannot lave a decisive effect. It undoubtedly is a factor in harassing Great Britain, but cannot of itself win the war, as Berlin had proclaimed.
 The imperial government went into the u-boat ruthless campaign "after having weighed all possibilities" we were informed; and the choice came after the probabilities of success cutweighed the other possibilities.
 By this time Germany must realize there was serious miscalculation.

THE HUNGER OF NATIONS.

Not more than a few months ago 1t was considered that the logical place for intensified hunger would be the central powers. Since then our conceptions have changed ma terially.
 When food prices mount high, it is the very poor in nation that is forced to do with less eating. This has been the case in Germany, Aus tria, Italy; and then, possibly to ou: surprise, in France, Russia, England -and the United States.
 The seriousness of the food situa- tion throughout the world came vivid ly to our knowledge when we learned that Russia-one of the worlds greatest wheat producers-had so lit- tie food on hand that hunger was a daily companion to the poor. And If this can happen in Russia, what about the other nations?
 The British government has called upon all agriculturists to cultivate the land as never before; and all big shooting preserves" and parks of the gentry" have been changed into farms, or are about to be put to this use. which is an advantage to the country in peace or wa:.
 Germany has stated that the war is now one of the best agriculture; that the nation which can keep it's population furtherest from starvation will probably win the war.
 In our own country the steadily soaring prices for fcodstuffs has proved to us that we are made of the same clay as other nations; if The Hague had to have its food riots, New York city likewise experienced one or two in a mild form. We, the richest nation on earth, where the gold of the world has flown to since the beginning of the great war, hav- ing such an old-world institution as flood riot!"
 It is serious business. The govern- ment is attempting to investigate, but an investigation doesn't feed hungry mouths.
 Such things should set the nation to thinking. A food riot in this land of plenty means that something $ seriously out of gear.

"CANNEO" TELEGRAMs
 IS LATEST WR|Ek E
Western Union Issues Pamphlet of Sample Messages tO Hid Patrons
 Who May Need Assistance.

Frequently persons wishing to send a telegram of congratulatiOn or of sympathy are troubled about. the wording of the message. Often the telegraph managers arc appealed to for suggestions, and the Western Union Telegraph company, observing this, has realized that the prepara- tion of collection of suggested forms for such messages would fill real want.
 It has therefore issued 24-page booklet containing suggestions for the wording of telegrams appropriate to New Years Day, Easter, Thanksgiv- ing Day, Christmas, birthday, we'd dings, and new arrivals via the stork route, messages of condolence. and congratulatory messages to school or college graduates and to public men. They are intended as suggestions only, and may be changed and modi fled according to individual taste and the exigencies of the particular Oc- casion.
 The typographical arrangement is very attractive and altogether the pahphlet represents a rather novel departure in the way of an effort to be of assistance to the telegraph using public and should prove Of use to many.

NEGRO POPULATION OF CITIES.

Chicago, which recently claimed to be accumulating all the negro popu- lation of the South, or something like it, is not much burdened in that respect, the last figures available showing that only two percent of it's population being of color. The in- creased negro population since 1910 won't tabulate more tran half of one percent.
 Compare this with i5.2 per cent for Baltimore, 33.5 per cent. for At lanta, 2S.5 per cent. for Washington, 40 per cent. for Memphis, and 60 per cent. for Pine Bluff.
 And Chicago, with it's insignificant 21s per cent thought it had a dire problem on it's hands.

a DELIGHTFUL DAY AT MiAMI
SPENT BY LEGISLATORS
AND EDITORS

AS one takes long sigh, the leg
islative party that had for three days
been eating camp fare and sleeping
on hunks, Toasted at Fort Lauderdale
last night, arrived in cars this morn
ing to be properly banquetted tonight
as guests of the Miami chamber of
commerce. Here they received a roy
al welcome, were escorted to the
points of interest, including the beach,
and this afternoon they are shouting
the praises of this paradise and de-
claring that whatever they can con-
scientiously do for the relief of farm
ers of the Glades will speedily be done
when the lawmakers gather at ITALIA
hassee on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in April.
At the banquet at Fort Lauderdale
last night, William Jennings Bryan
said that this trip, in his opinion, con-
stituted legitimate lobby; that an
effort to give the legislators, whether
national or state, information at first
hand, could result in nothing but good
and was born Of good intentions. He
declared that it was necessary to see
the Everglades to know what they
were; that it was as impossible to
make one who had never seen them
understand what the Florida Ever
glades are like as it is to picture the
snow to a native of the Panama Canal
Zone. you cannot make a person
understand what a thing is unless he
has seen something like it," Col Bry-
an said, "and there is nothing in the
world exactly like the Florida Ever
glades."
At the suggestion of a number of
members who wanted to show their
hosts their appreciation, Senator Jas.
E. Calkins of Fernandina introduced
a resolution declaring that the soil
of the Everglades was fertile and ca
pable of unlimited production if prop
erly drained, that the drainage of the
Glades was practicable, and that the
members of both houses of the legis
lature present pledged themselves to

adopted by the solons at the banquet
without dissenting vote.
The party slept aboard the charter
ed Pullman cars at Fort Lauderdale,
but were taken from there early in

awaited the guests.

1t was a hard, long trip, but on the
whole moved along without a men
tionable hitch. There were just
enough hardships and accidents on
the canals and Lake Okeechobee to
bind the members closer and endear
them to their hosts for lifetime.
There were ninety-six people in the
party that went through the Glades,
thirteen state senators and forty
members of the house of representa-
tives. Fourteen newspaper men were
along.
One hundred and ninety-six miles
were travelled in the drainage district.
