vania's representatives in Congress
will be lined up solidly for the protc-
ton of American rights. Senator
Penrose's declaration made Saturday
at the monster patriotic demonstra-
ton here is to-day being described as
clear outline of this States thought.
Senator Penrose described the big

public career of more than 80 years.
He declared that no one could longer
doubt that the people of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania are sound to the
core in their patriotism. He predicted
that every person in the city and State
would promptly rally to the support

defenders of American rights on land

Tomorrow, if necessary one mill
lion men will answer the call of the
President to defend the American
government in any part of the world

Isl absolutely no excuse at this time

Dear Uncle Sam: This free advice

But, as you've found out once or

Please get suit that fits you.
Dear Uncle, get coat of mail
And pants too hard to ravel,
A suit no Fall can pierce at all
However swift it travel.
You're all the Uncle Sam we know
We're mighty glad we've got you;
But what If some cantankerous foe
Should come along and swat you ?

So II you'll listen to us now
Wen gladly pay the tailor.

Intended to abuse you,

The prospect of food shortage
urges luxury-loving America to exam
inc the dietary of the Aborigines-The
food upon which the Red man De-
veloped physical magnificcnce is still
here in abundance, but the people of
the twentieth century, unlike the early
settlers, are unable to obtain it-Our
present food shortage, III it results in
restoring the WALKING foods upon
which the Indians thrived, will prove
TO be blessing in disguise.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
United States annually produces hun
dreds of millions of bushels of corn
this most ancient and most precious
OF the fruits of the field has been lost
TO the American people.
We no longer eat corn in America.
The many products consumed under
the name of corn are mere shadows
of the substance on which the early
settlers of this country lived.
For the first time in the history of
the United States we are confronted
by what is called a food shortage. 1t
is not now necessary to trace the
phrase food economy" which we
hear so often. Its origin is too re-
cent not to be painful to hundreds of
thousands of American citizens who
are at last seriously interested in the
problems involved in the feeding of
their children.
If the present shortage in foodstuffs
results in our attaining a more sem
sible appreciation of the laws of nu-
triton. the discomforts which it en-
tails will be well worth the price paid
for them.
We have forgotten all that our
forefathers knew concerning the food
of the Indian tribes of the United
States and Canada.
We have forgotten that time and
again the little struggling colonies
and settlements of white men from
Labrador to Florida and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific would have
perished by famine and disease mad
they not been able in times of scare
ity of food to rely upon the products
of the Indians industry.
We know we'll that the white men
who made possible these American
cities of ours subsisted on what they
could obtain from the natives in the

Russians Believe Weather
Will Protect their Line

Petrograd, April 2.-"No serious
activity may be expected on this front
in the near future. The melting snow,
impossible, precludes any big opera
ton" This declaration of the Rus
sian war minister, Alexander Ouch
koff, at staff headquarters after visit
to the northern front, appears to dis
sipate the alarm created by the start
ling warning of the war minister a
week ago that the capital itself was
menaced by a threatened German
attack. 1t was argued at the time
of the enunciation of the minister's
warning, which was the elimination
of series of similar declarations from
the other ministries and by the presi-
dent of the Duma that the moblliza-
ton of enemy forces along the north
ern front, was seized upon as a pre-
text by the new government to arouse
the army and the workingmen to a.
realization of the responsibility resting
on them and stem the tide of disorgan-
ization which threatened to break
down the efficiency of the army.

me and to the American Congress in
reading of this and other meetings
being held to-day throughout, the
country to know that the American
people are back of the Congress, to
make every preparation possible to
place the American Republic upon an
adequate basis of national defense.
IF this splendid meeting to-day ac-
eomplishes no other result, it will have
been of enormous effective value in
encouraging every member of Con-
gress in both branches of that body
to see that we never again confront a
crisis in our international affairs
when we are totally unprepared, but
that, in the future, the American Re-
public will be fully armed to uphold
the policies which are ours and to de-
fend American life and American lib
erty on the sea and on the land.
