tions which surround and infest the food market. A strong bid is being made for governmental intervention. Men and women demand relief and are asking the Federal authorities for help At the same time the charge has gone forth that these food riots are the result. of German activities in this country. The Imperial Ger man Government has many propo- gandists in the United States. All did not return to Germany with Ambas- sador von Bernstorff.
 Whether there is truth in the charges made, the nation wide inves- partment of Justice will determine. It is palpable that the German Gov ernment will resort to every trick known to intriguers so that an em- bargo on foodstuffs shipped to the Entente Allies may be put in vogue. But that need not come about The United States government has other means at its disposal to remedy pre- valent conditions. The food shortage, if there is one, is not due to enor- nous shipments to the Allies. It is due to the great American practice of "cornering the market"
 It was not long ago when MT. We1s. a speculator in Chicago, cor nered the egg market. He held some 72,O0O,O00 dozen of eggs in storage, waiting for the price to go up. And the price Of eggs did go up. Inspired by the success of this man a New Jerseylte got a corner on the onion market. The price of onions went up, and some half a. million dollars profit was realized. Then a man got corner on potatoes
 It Is true that there are not many things left now to be cornered; but searching parties are out looking for what remains. Meats, vegetables and fruits of all kinds have been care fully stored away for future use, or, until the prices on them reach heights hitherto unknown. These are the corners that the United States gov ernment should uncorner. There will be no need of putting an em bargo on shipments of food to Europe if the cornering process is reduced to minimum. All such operations when effecting two or more states are in re- stra1nt of trade and in violation of the Federal antitrust law.

COMMUNICATED.
WORK OF BOY SCOUTS.
We'll Deserved Appreciation of Their Work at Big Fires.

To the Editor of the Herald:
 May the writer as the spokesman l of the Boy Scouts of the city take 1 this opportunity to explain to the ' people of the city the purposes lying ] behind the work of Wednesday night. 1 am not writing to praise the work f of the Scouts, though I believe that 1 the fact that boys were working to | serve the city is of value to the com- munity. But I am far more con- cerned that the people of the city shall understand better the signifi- l canoe of the movement that has been at work here for almost three years now, including as 1t does 460 boys be- tween 12 and IS from all over the city.
 The Boy Scout movement is a great worldwide movement of boys with a mem bership in this country of 200,- 900 boys The foundation of the movement is, the Scout law in which the Scout pledges himself to be trust worthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, cour- teous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. In talk ing his oath he pledges that on his honor he will do his best to do his duty to God and his country, to obey

 caIly strong, mentally awake and morally straight. He must do at least one good turn every day. In addi- ton to these fundamental things he
 is taught things that will make him of value in emergency. He is trained what to do in case of fire, what to l do in case of accident; he is taught l first aid, trained in obedience and l team play so that when such an emer- 1 gency as that of "Wednesday night os- CUTS he will be able to act unitedly ] with other Scouts under orders and l really accomplish results. He is dis 1 c1pl1ned in service to the community. l He is always at the service of the | public and the city, state and nation. 1 He never accepts pay for the good
 turns he does so that he makes a l great available asset to the commit
 nifty always awaiting the call of the l community and by his training pre- 1 pared to be of real assistance.
 What his value to the city Is was
 shown by the fact that even without ! any mobilization call within a short period after the fires began to break
 out Scouts had come promptly from all over the city to the seat of | 1 service. Altogether about two hum | dred Scouts were serving In all parts | of the city, doing duty from that of
 forming safety lines with the slaves
 to that of guarding buildings in dan ger of catching fire, general salvage l work or assisting in calling out the l militia.
 Some wondered that the boys could l go to work so promptly. But those
 who are familiar with the Scout train
 ing were not surprised. The boys l did their duty as they had been | trained to do It.
 Instead of 460 Scouts New Britain 1 should have 1000 harnessed up to 1 service in any time of need to the city, and the people of the city should l become more conscious of the great 1 untapped resources that her bows 1 properly directed present.

WHAT THE WOMEN DID.

Just what part women played in the reelection of Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States is of in- terest to all students of politics. While no one can be found to claim the women really swung the election. there are those who believe their votes were largely instrumental in turning the tide.
 The chairman of the Women's Bureau of the Democratic National Committee presents an interesting di- gest of the case. According to figures compiled it is seen that in all prob ability the women cast one-eighth of the toRl Wilson vote of the coun- try. Wilson's plurality was 56s,822. The women cast about 1,109,899 Wilson votes
 In all of the twelve suffrage states there are more men than women. The highest excess of men as in Nevada where there are 179.2 men to
 every 100 women. Taking all the Suffrage States together the average excess Is 1S4.3 men to every 100
 women. It follows that there was an
 actual preponderance of mems votes
 over women's votes for both Wilson
 and Hughes. The question is how
 great was the preponderance and if
 the relation of the Wilson vote to the | nto . if only the men had been voting. The women cast about the same proportion of both the Wilson and the Hughes vote, that is, 12.1 per cent. ot the Wilson vote and 12.9 per cent of the Hughes vote. But what did the men do? While they cast 15 per cent. of the Wilson vote, they cast 16.5 per cent. of the Hughes vote. Tn other words, the women were rather more radical, more keen fol progressive democracy than the men This fact is all the more impressive l when one considers that the wome1 | were offered two distinct temptations 1 to sacrifice democracy for a hypothe | tical gain, to the Suffrage cause
 Hughes and the Women's Party ane
 the Congressional Union made de 1 termined appeals for the women' l votes,-Hughes for obvious politica | reasons, via Suffrage,-and tht ] Woman's Party and the Congressiona l Union for Suffrage straight.
 But both failed. The women. votes in ten of the twelve states stood firm. These women are Suffragists O. 1 course. They want all the women il 1 the country to vote, as we'll as them l selves. But they could not lend them selves to a questionable benefit tt | Suffrage at the risk of swinging tn, 1 country back into the grip of privi l 1ege and plutocracy,--which was wha | they knew the election of Hughes
 would mean.
 l In a nutshell the women voter! l knew what they wanted and voted fol
 it independently. They refused to be cajoled or threatened or dictated tt 1 or coerced. This remains one of the l big significant features of the Presi. l dential election.

around her and plants a kiss on her
lips, unless, of course, she beats him

That was demonstrated at all times
everywhere, for more visitors came
into camp than any previous Sunday.
Probably it was because many of the
men will leave soon for other camps
to fill out national guard organlza-
tions.
Viewed from the steep hill overlook
ing the camp on the north, the can

Golden Belt Highway served as a

which was laden with biting sand
and dust, and clung on to their boys
in olive drab forgetful of everything

There were mothers, too, usually

THE NEW RULES
President wilson to pass on the Ncw
Rules To Govern the Draft
In the Future.


WASH1NCrTON.- Nov regulations
for applying the army draft We're yir-
tually completed last night at the Of
fice Of the provost marshal-general
and probably will be submitted to
President Wilson today for final ap-
proyal The president already has ap-
proved the general plan. under which
all registered men not yet called will
be classified in five groups in accord
ance with their availability for mili-
tary service.
Provost Marshal-Goneral Crowder
last night cleared up the question as
10 how the draft numbers now held
by the nearly 100000 uncalled reg
istrants will he applied to the new
classifications.
In each local district the key made
up from the draft numbers in the or
der Of their drawing will be applied
to each class or group. In other
words the men Of class No. I, in
which will he placed those of the least
value at home and with the slightest
obligations to dependents, will be call
ed in the order of their serial numb bers
until that class is exhausted. just as
though all other classes had been ex-
empted. When class No. is ex-
hausted the same process will be ap-
piled to class no. > and so on down
to class No. 5, If it ever should be-
come necessary to carry it that far
Thus, a man whose serial number
in the great war army lottery had led
him to believe that he would be
among the last summoned, may be as
signed to the first class and ordered
into service with the first quota. on
the other hand, another whose num-
ber assured him originally a place
with the next Increment may be so
classified as to make 1t virtually GER
tain he never will be called.
