be enacted as rig idly as arc the tasks
imposed upon those of our citizens
who brave death in the trenches or

thrift. industry. unselfishness and self

James y. Patten, of Chicago, one OF
the wealthiest men III the United States
and a world-renownd authority OIL
food supplies, says:
The food crisis is here right now.
Take lard. for example. Last year at
this time there was a stock Or con-
tract lard amounting TO $4,000. 900
pounds. This year the stock is only
.5,000.000 pounds. Our lighting men
and the nghtnS men OF our allies
in the trenches must have meat. We
have got to furnish most OF that meat
The only way in the world we can DO
il is to eat less meat ourselves. In
my house wo have instituted two meat
less days q week. 7 used to cat bacon
every morning for breakfast. Now
we have cut out the bacon entirely. II
we ate meat every day, some soldier
or workman who really needs 1t will

But the danger Is that this awakening will

there fights for his country. five other men

complete demonstration.

Trihing With National Safety

\VliAI incredible folly will Congress next
w peTpetrnte? The action OF the House
yesterday, by which it instructed its con-
ferees to restore to the national defense bill
the Roosevelt volunteer amendment which
the conference had rejected and thus made
certain new period of delay for this vitality
important measure, breaks the hearts of those
who believe in the wisdom. the sanity and the
eventual efficiency OF democratic institutions
This amendment was offered in the House
when the bill was first under considerations
and was rejected by a decisive vote II was
passed III the Senate. after much argument
Nhen the bill went to conference the amend
ment was excluded, as it should have been
from the first. The action OF the House
means more debates in conference, more in
decision, more ultimate cost in money and
blood Nobody knows when the bill finally
will be adopted, and in the meantime the
whole army program waits
1t is shameful. No weaker word describes
this trifling with the safety and the honor
OF the republic. and real patriots will be in
cilned to use word stronger and more bitter
There were rumors in WASHINGTON yester.
day that General John j. Pershing had ri '
chosen to command force of 900 regular
soldiers and trained national guardsmen
which is to be sent to France. This rumor
was accompanied by statements that Marshal
Johre and other military members of the
French and British commissions were or
po"eu ueHHilciE 10 all Plans 1Or making the
eNpedltionary army consist of unframed vol
nnteers. While these statements we're not
verified by the War Department. and SO far
rs they refer 10 General Pershing NAV he
incorrect, the sentiments imputed to Marshal
+ Jonrc probably are those he entertains If
this war has proved anything, it is that the
unframed man is valueless in the trenches or
on the battle field. The United States has
100000 regulars and seasoned guardsmen
from whom an expeditionary force may be
selected. That any responsible soldier could
he induced to give his Endorsement to Roosc-
welt mad scheme is almost unbelievable
But. leaving the merits of the Roosevelt
crusade quite aside, it has no place in the
army bill now making its difficult and tor
tuous way through Senate and House The
genera! staff, made up OF tho best brains in
the army, opposes it wholc-heartedly as de-
structive OF the defense bills essential char
acteristic. There is every reason TO believe
that tho experts vino have come from war
itself, TO give us the benefit OF their expert
cnce and to urge US to profit by their errors
are equally strong in their disapproval
And the House, after showing sense bv
rejecting the plan, shows consummate folly
by trying To put it back i'll the bill, 1t is
enough 10 make the good American Tide
his head in shame. Ii is enough to make
us all fear for the future OF our country
committed even i'll part 10 such weak hands
and habby minds.
