TIME TO WAKE UP.

With n government censorship In
force, We may be sure that there Is
great Importance attached to the re-
port from Washington OF the failure
of the allies to meet the submarine
situation. If the Germans actually
sunk eighty freight carrying ships last
week and are destroying tonnage OF
100000 a. month. according to their
schedule. then the war has reached n
situation approaching crisis.
Weeks ago Lord Charles Reresford
in speech In parliament. referring to
this situation said. that up to that
time the British government had not
been able to solve the problem of sink
ing German submarines Apparently
there has been no progress toward a
solution since. IT seems to remain
for a great inventive genius like Edi-
son or Maxim to find method of
reaching these undersea devils in or
der to feed our allies.
1t is possible to construct a great
number of wooden ships of small tom
age in this country, but if the Ger
mans construct submarin in proper
ton and their work is as destructive
as 1t appears to be. the gaunt ghost OF
starvation may be hanging over the
British people within six months.
Secretary Lane. who is authority on
figures. is generally regarded as n
particularly sane and clear head
ed member of the cabinet. If the
announcement is TO remind the
people of the possibility of losing
this war, then all should get into
action without delay. The Sec
rotary is hardly the man to resort to
the cheap subterfuge of making
misstatement on this matter. Moth
ing would be gained by that when later
the people learned that they had been
deceived.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1917.
UNCLE SANS LONG ARM.

The first drastic effects of the wal
will be felt in this country when the
bill introduced by Representative
Lever yesterday, becomes law.
This BILL as described in another
column, provides for government con-
troll 10 he exercised at discretion. over
the prices and supplies of food and
other necessities. Maximum and
minimum prices may be fixed for food,
clothing and fuel. The government
may limit or prohibit the use of grains
for alcoholic liquors 1t may requisi-
ton the factories and mines and the
products OF these. 1t may compel
holders to release necessities for
equitable distribution and it may reg
ulate exchanges so as to prevent mar
ket manipulation.
The authority given to the govern
ment is sweeping and absolute and the
bill will be enacted into law without
doubt for it is an administration
measure.
The spectators, food manipulators
and money wolves have forced this
situation by their piratical greed. For
many months they have boarded food
and raised prices on suffering and
helpless people.
Now the egg kings and potato kings
will he tumbled from their thrones and
get down among the plain people like
Nicholas Romanoff.
The exercise of this authority by the
government will be long step toward
socialism. 1t is easy to predict that
the German, French and English gov
ernments will never release their con-
troll over the prices and supplies of
food, regardless of the result of the
war. II is Just as easy to make that
prediction for the United States.
The only prevention lies with the
men responsible for this condition. II
they bring prices down to reasonable
and normal figures the government
may not be forced to exercise this
authority.

ALL co TO THE TOWN MEETING.

II is hoped that the attendance at
the town meeting under the auspices
OF the chamber of commerce this even

all interests in Missoula. Every citi-
zen should regard this war as an ex-
'remely important part of his own
business. The one certain thing is,
that the war is having and will con-
tinue TO have to a greater degree a
bearing upon the personal life of
everyone Of us. There is not a nool;

The important Question is, what ac-

terests Of Missoula, and that means
naturally that We are TO use every
method to aid our government in
bringing this war to a quick and sue
ccssful conclusion. We think that

Talk of the TO,Un

A Missoula merchant was speaking
yesterday about the mail order evil.
1.-The main trouble about combating
this habit, so prevalent with some of
our residents" said he, lis that it is
difficult to make them believe that
the home stores can come anywhere
near meeting the prices offered by the
big mail order houses. A man was
working for me last week and he hap
pened to mention that he intended to
send away for big order, of groceries.
I asked him if he was renting the
cash with the order and he said that
he was.
"Why don't you take that order 10
one OF our grocers? l asked. lie will
give you just rs good deal for cash
and quantity as you can get In Chi
cago. The man told me he would see
next day to tell me that he had bought
his order of groceries here. There is a
moral to that il the people will only
appreciate It,"

most important, that Is, to urge that
during this crisis the people collect

wave OF hysterin like that which swept
over England at the opening of the
war. 1t will be remembered that the
English people began the boarding Of
money and food in all the cities and
that this foolish practice was much
regretted later.
Thrift, the elimination of waste and
increased food production must be
practiced rather than a system Of fake
economy that can only result in injury.
The business Of the country must not
be swept out of its channels by a form
Of propaganda that is being used only
to the injury of the country and the
people at large. At present there Is
no lack Of employment nor is it likely
that the industries Of the country will
see such depression as at other times
when the country was at peace. Yet,
that may happen il the people
lend their ears to foolish agitation.
Let the American people keep their
poise at this time.
