MOVING FOR FOOD CONTROL

Federal authorities are now cautiously approaching the
task of food regulation. This does not necessarily mean put
ting Americans on short ratiOns, but does contemplate a care
full conservation that the danger of want may be averted.
Ample warning has been given us in the experience of other
countries and we must realize that some of our waste and ex-
travagance in the use of food must be curtailed. We will al
ways have enough, but we must be prepared to do more than
this. The worlds supply of food is short, and the immediate
future depends almost wholly on the crop to be raised this
season, for out of our surplus we will have to feed millions who
otherwise will go hungry. American farmers are aroused and
fully aware of what rests on them in this emergency.
The matter of price fixing will come in for due consider
alton. 1t is suggested that consumers at present are the great
est of food spectators and more than any responsible for the
mounting cost of living. Control by the federal government
should bring about a more equal distribution of supplies and
give assurance that will aid in quoting popular apprehension.
With this established and shortage guarded against, prices will
adjust themselves.

HELP THESE

There is a box at the news stand in the postoffice that
should interest every person who passes it. And nobody should
pass 1T without first stopping, at least once, to drop a coin into
one OF the five receptacles it contains.
In Belgium, i'm Servia, in Poland and northeastern France
there are millions of children whose parents and relatives have
been, by the horrors of war, deprived of any means to keep
them alive. In thousands of instances their parents have been
driven out of their own country and into the territory OF their
conquerors, to make munitions or to feed hostile armies for
the further destruction of the very homes of which these chill
dren are rightfully a part and the very lives upon wh:r'i their
existence would otherwise depend.
Organizations or societies composed of reputable and re-
sponslble people have been formed to distribute, carefully and
economically, such funds as may be contributed and millions
have gone into these funds. Such contributions as may be
placed In the little box we are discussing will be sent, so far as
the Belgans are concerned, to the fund which the Literary D-
gest OF New York has been handling in conjunction with the
Belgian relief committee, and the others will be handled
through the Red Gross or such other organizations as may
seem best.
The committee having these contributions i'm charge is
composed of Mrs. Helen Rosenthal, Rev. James B. Dermody and
Mr.. "A. ii. Howe. The suggestion of installing this box came
from Mr.. w. E. Brooks. Mr.. Harry Poin kindly provided a
place for it and the Tribune has been glad of an opportunity to
put the suggestion into effect.

GERMAN PLOTTING IN RUSSIA

The reports of Germany's activity in Chicago in MOBILIZE
ing the radical Russian socialists and sending them back to
Russia to further a movement for a separate peace with that
Vaccinations throughout the world. But they are not likely to
succeed.
Pledges recently given by the provisional government of
Russia to not negotiate any separate peace had brought great
relief to the allies. Some natural apprehension had disquieted
the governments whose fortunes are bound up with the Rus
slams as to the disposition of the men who are to control at
Petrograd. This was increased by the announcement of the
progress of a commission of German socialist leaders toward
the Russian capital, with the thought of inviting their com
rades' to desert the entente. This intrigue, supported by the
Prussian leaders, was nulified by the assurances obtained from
Mlyukoff and his associates.
The German schemers, who headed that move, showed
either astounding simplicity or impudent duplicity. The so
cialist embassy was empowered to carry promises, but had no
authority whatever to give guarantees. Separate peace with
Russia would surely proong the war, and might even lead to
triumph for the Prussian autocracy over other of its foes. Such
an outcome would certainly be followed by the restoration of
the Romanoff dynasty, probably as the vassal of the junker
ruler. for Prussia could not abide another republican neighbOr.
And the Romanoffs are, through their royal marriages of the
last two hundred years, far more German than Russian. SO
transparent in all its details is the plan of the radical socialists
of Germany that it lacked support of a considerable wing of
the party. and it's only menace lay in the fact that it might find
welcome among Russians equally visionary.
The Russian people have won their freedom, and for the
time must maintain it themselves. They can not at this time
look to Germany for any help, nor until the German socialists
have freed themselves will they ever be able to assist others to
freedom.

NO SEPARATE PEACE-THE REASON WHY

The resolution, already introduced in congress, for an
agreement by the United States with the allies to accept no
peace that is not satisfactory to all of them is sure to occasion
much discussion.
But let everyone remember the United States is i'm this war
to fight the battle of democracy against auocracy and it is in
it as one of a group of nations fighting the same battle, none
successfully.
If the German war lords could fight these nations separ-
ately, the triumph of autocracy would be foreordained. In a
WORD, we must bark back to our own motto, "In union there is
strength" and the continued union of all the allies. the United
States included, is essential to victory.
Remember above all that freedom for us to make a sep
arate peace carries with it freedom for our allies to make a
separate peace. A separate peace by our allies would mean
Germany continuing the war, separately against the United
States left to fight alone.
mo separate peace" then, is the only guaranty we can
have against a separate war, and our only assurance that what
we are fighting for will be safeguarded in the final treaty
terms.

AMERICAN AIRSHIPS COMMENDED

A report lately made to the government by a board of
naval experts says that the American-buit airship is equal to
the best Europe has yet produced. In fact, the aerOplanes and
hydrOplanes built on this side have some advantages in design,
while the fighting aircraft are actually superior to the models
employed by the European armies. Our scouting flyers are of
the best type and are capable of meeting the EXTREMIST require
ments of service. This is not at all surprising when it is re-
called that the aeroplane is an American invention, and while
our aviators have not been put to the supreme test of war,
their experiments have not slackened. Army airmen had great
tryouts last summer, when Pershings column in Mexico was
well served by the flyers. Our navy, too, has kept pace with
all aerial achievements. A sufficient number of aircraft is to
be provided, and men to handle them will be ready in good
season.

1t is tolerably certain that German submarines cannot OPP
crate successfully on this side of the Atlantic without a base,
and their presence here indicates the existence of such a base.
It is our task not only to ferret it out, bat to inflict such dire
punishment ON the power permitting its existence in it's waters
or on the people maintaining it that there will be no recurrence
of the Offpnse. This is not an occasion for pussyfOOting or soft
words in dealing with our enemies.

THE SKIRT HIDERS

1t is now proposed to draft the men who have hurried into
matrlmony subsequent to the second day of April, when the
state OF war was declared to exist. The suggestion is not in
apropos, if it can be made applicable only to those who have
taken such steps to escape doing their duty to their country. or
taking their chances to do so. But distinctions should he
made. Many persons have in the meantime been decently mar
ried and for decent reasons.
But, perhaps, it may not be necessary to inflict special
punlshments on these craven-hearted fellows. Thew carry
their own punishment in themselves, unless they are indeed
calloused beyond the power to realize the ignomonv in which
they have placed themselves and the women whose skirts thew
have sought as a shelter. OF all men they will remain most
contemplate. Any man who has taken such a step to escape
another duty, let it but be known and he will be looked down
upon in any community, and their children, if thew have anv
will hardly be able to escape the odium that is attached fo
their birth. Nor are the women who are parties to such eva
slons entitled to much more respect. The other day there an
peared a woman in Chicago whose position was commanding
When the ceremony that united her was over. she Turned to
her new husband and said, "Now I will go with YOU to that
other ceremony" They went to the enlistment office, where he
took the oath of service to his country. That man and that
woman will live respected, and they will respect themselves
also, which is quite the most important thing.
The men who would marry to escape a duty are kin Of the
old-tme men who maimed themselves to escape doing military
service. Only the man who marries under cowardice and to
shirk duty mains his soul and the soul of the woman who
united with him in the performance of such an act.

The British house of lords resents efforts of the commons
to cut out enemy deadwood among the peers. Three German
princes hold British titles and membership in the lords, while
in active service at home; yet the dual role finds champions
among the peers. The idea that princelings may serve two
warning masters at the same time becomes the scheme of
monarchial privilege.

AS there are lots of ways of serving ones country, even
without enlisting, there are also lots of ways of aiding the
enemy without even espOusing their cause. Every right

One German paper, the Cologne Gazette, says that Germany
will not give up and cannot give up while the HOhenzonerns
are fighting for their very lives. That's right, sacrifice the peo-
pie in order that a set of royal blooded, so-called, overlords
may continue to enjoy their spoils. 1t is a high conception of
humanity that the paper breaches.
