Here's the Idea.

Ambassador Jusserand of France,
In joining the appeal made by the U.
s. Food administration to the $4,000
900 families Of the United States to
unite In food conservation, said:
Nothing can more deeply touch the
heart of France than the thought
that thousands of miles away, of their
own accord, obeying the free impulse
of their kind thoughts, the American
Allies of other days and today are
keeping severe watch on their food
consumption 80 that invaded France
and those leagued with her for a
sacred cause may not suffer from
want, and may better push back
barbaric enemy to where he belongs"
e. de Carter, the Belgium minister
In Washington has also made state
ment, In which he has said: America
for many months has kept Belgium
from starvation. My country has de-
pended for its very life upon the
great heart and the marvellous ini-
tiative and executive ability OF Am
erica. The food without which we
could not have persisted has come to
us through American citizens, stirred
by humanitarian instincts, even be-
fore they Joined us allies in a war
which to us Belgians means our very
existence as nation. Now the Am
erican government has assured us of
the money to buy food, and the COM
mission for Relief in Belgium has

which are believed to be improbable
to their owners at the present time.
An authority states it as his belief
that within five years the number of
one newspaper cities may be increas-
ed to IL, leaving Detroit and Grand
Rapids the only cities with morning
newspapers.
The movement for amalgamation
is not by any means confined TO cities
or to dailies. Many weeklies pub
lished in small towns have been
driven to the wall by the soaring
prices and high cost of materials
Every day they are disappearing,
either going out of business alto
gether or else making combinations.
The movement towards consolida-
tions Is famed by the rising prices
of everything that goes into the MAX
ing of newspaper.

COUNTRY PRESS
SUFFERS WITH CITY
Fourteen Michigan Cities, Despite
Great Increase in Population,
Show a Remarkable Shortage in
Number of Dailies.

The recent amalgamation of the
Boston Journal and the Boston Her.
aid and the Cleveland Daily Leader
and Plain Dealer emphasizes anew a
note worthy tendency in American
journalism. 1t Is toward consolid-
alton wherever possible of Compel
ing newspapers into one strong
organ
So great are the costs of modern
daily journalism that many communi-
ties are found not to afford sufficient
bases of support in advertising or
circulation for more than one morn
ing or evening daily, and there are
actually cities of considerable size
without any morning daily. In
deed, 1t is in the morning field that
this drift is chiefly to be noticed.
Thus in New York has come about
lately the consolidation of the Press
and the morning Sun.
While Boston still has four morn
ing journals, Cleveland, O., now
joins the ranks of those cities with
only one morning newspaper. There
are many others, among them
indianapolis, for instance, where
the public, eager for news, must
take 1t all from one source-the
Indianapolis Star. Thus, in Scran-
ton, the Republican now occupies the
morning field alone and the Times
the evening. Detroit is limited to
the State Journal and Toledo to the
Times St. Paul has only one morn
ing daily, and so has New Orleans.
But this movement is not confined
to smaller cities. In Chicago a de-
cade or 80 ago there were seven
strong papers published in the morn
ing. To-day there are but four, in
Guiding the Staats-Zeitung, and there
are signs that one of these Is having
difficulty In establishing itself on a
sound paying basis
But the clearest example of the
movement toward consolidation ap-
pears from conditions in Michigan.
There are IA cities there with daily
newspapers printed in English, each
with over 5000 circulation. In the
last rs years the population of these
cities has more than doubled, and |
within that same time the number |
Of daily newspapers in the English
language in these cities has shrunk
from AZ to only 30. More than that
in nine out of these IA cities there
Is not morning newspaper, while
each of the nine has only one even
ng newspaper.
There are only five morning week
lay newspapers and several Sunday
papers in these IA cities. In the five
titles of this group having more than
,ne newspaper there are six dailies !

Many Big Questions.

Washington, April 9.-Far-reaching
questions regarding right of patentees
to fax retail, or resale prices Of their
products were involved in the in
fringement suit brought by the Victor
Talking Machine company against
York. An Injunction was granted by
the second federal circuit court after
being denied by District Judges Hand
and Hough.
The principal question raised was
whether, in disposing of its machines
by giving a license only for their
''use: for royalties during the pat
ents term) and noe outright title to
purchasers, the Victor company might
thus lawfully regulate and restrict dis
tribution Of its products. A secondary
question was whether the restriction
Of distribution through 1000 eli
censed" dealers was an illegal COM
bination and monopoly under the
Sherman tnti-trust law.
Other talking machine manufactur-
ers and other patentees generally use
the license plan, restrictions upon
actual sale prices having been held
illegal by the court.
That the license plan is q mere sub
terfuge adopted to control retail pric-
es to the public was contended by the
Macy company iii the present proceed
ings The appellate court below. how
ever. upheld the license plan. stating
patentees could thus limit the use
upon payment Of royalties. Of theil
products when not actually parting
with the legal title.
An injunction was secured in the
lower courts by the Victor company
against threatened cut-rate sale OF It,
machines.
Under the so-called patent mon.
opoly decisions Of the supreme court
in the Dick mimeograph and othe,
cases. the Macy company contended
that the license giving the right onl,
to use tho products was unlawful. II

Chief Justice White and former Jus.
tices Hughes and Lamar dissented

Spain Will Take Over Unit
ed States Interests at
Vienna.
CHARGE GREW IS
GIVEN PASSPORTS
Break Came Day After Am
bassador Penfeld Had
Left Capital.

Washington, April 9.-Baron
Erich Zwiedinek, charge of the
Austro-Hungarian embassy here,
today demanded his passports.
By this act, Austria-Hungary
breaks off diplomatic relations
with the United States.
Almost at the same time, a dis
patch was received from Ameri-
can Minister Stovall at Berne,
announcing that relations had
been broken by Austria at Vienna
on April 8, day after American
Ambassador Penfeld left.
All American consular officers,
as we'll as diplomats, will be with
drawn from Austria-Hungary
and Spain will take over the in
terests of the United States in
Austria. All Austrian consular
officers. as we'll as diplomats, will
be withdrawn from the United
States.
s1t is. presumed the dual mon
archy's severence Of relations was
done by handing passports to
American Charge Grew. Ameri
can Ambassador Penheld, who
had left Vienna on Saturday,
probably did not know of the gov
ernment's action.
By prearrangement, Spain will
take over the diplomatic and con-
sular interests of the United
States in Austria-Hungary, and
Sweden was asked to take over
Austrian affairs in this country.
Up to the time Charge Zwiedi-
nek asked for his passports, no
similar action had been taken by
Bulgaria and Turkey - Ger
many's two other allies-and their
representatives here disclaimed
having any knowledge Of the in
tention of their governments. 1t
is expected here they will follow
by breaking diplomatic relations.
Austria's break with the Unit
ed States undoubtedly is pre-
lude to the declaration of state
of war.
Austria has subscribed, even if
only academically, to Gernany's
campaign of ruthlessness, al
though she has not carried it out
against American interests. 1t is
considered that it would be quite
impossible to have abroad in the
United States on a friendly status
the diplomatic and consular
agents of Germany's ally.

FATE OF CAR
STlRS KAISER
Willing Now to Give the Prus-

to Vote.

Amsterdam. April 9.-(via Lon
don)-Direct and secret election of
deputies In Prussia at the end of the
war is provided for by Emperor Will
liam in his order to Chancellor Won
Bethmann Hollweg directing reforms
in the Prussian electoral law. He de-
clares that ''in view of the gigantic
deeds Of the entire people there is no
more room in Prussia for elections by
the classes" In connection with this
phase Of his proposal. Emperor Will
liam said:
Reform of the Prussian diet and
liberation of our entire inner political
life are especially dear to my heart.
For the reform of the electoral law
OF the lower house preparatory work
already had been begun at my re-
quest at the outbreak Of the war.
Il charge you now to submit to me
definite proposals Of the ministry OF
state SO that upon the return Of our
warriors this work. which Is funda-
mental for the internal formation OF
Prussia may he carried out by legisla-
ton. In view Of the gigantic deeds
Of the people. there is. in my opinion
by classes
'"The bill will have to provide fur
ther for direct and secret election Of
deputies. The merits Of the upper
house and its lasting significance for
the state no king of Prussia will mis-
judge. The upper house will be bet
ter able to do Justice to the gigantic
demands Of the coming time If 1t
unites in its midst. in more extended
and more proportionate manner than
hitherto. from various classes and vo-
cations of people, men who are re-
spected by their fellow citizens"
Berlin, April 8. via London, April ..
emperor Williams Easter message
promising internal reforms for Prus-
STA and Germany over-shadows all
other news in today's papers.
The Lokal Anzeiger has nothing
but praise for the imperial message.
The liberal and radical papers find
fault because the. emperor suggests
delaying the reforms until after the
war. The conservative and reaction
ary newspapers are anything but
pleased that the emperor should
promise any reforms at all.
The pan-German Deutsche Tages
Zeitung says 1t will withhold comment
until the text Of the coming minister
ial proposal is available. The conssrv-
ative Keruz Zeitung says with an air
Of resignation:
THE news convinces US that halt
on the way to the introduction Of q
Retchstag electoral system and full
characterization Of Prussia and Ger
many can no longer be expected from
the policy Of the chancellor"
