HOW GERMANY WAS FED
 WITH PRODUCTS OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON, July l8.-The United States unwttngly has been furnishing Ger tnany with the most valued of food prod ucts. According to report issued by H. C. Hoover, food administrator, fats in suffi- cient quantity to ration all of Germany s 100000 men under arms are entering the Teutonic empires from Holland and Scan dinavia. Holland and Scandinavia get these products, directly or indirectly, from the United States. Hence the desire for speed on the part of the administration in making effective the embargo authorized by con gress.
 The following figures show the amount of food sent from America to Germany in t916:
 Butter 82000 tons meat, 1l5, 800 tons pork products, G8,S00 tons condensed milk, 10000 tons; fish, 4O7 00O tons; cheese, 80, 800 tons eggs, 46400 tons; potato meal, 179, 300 tons; coffee, $500 tom; fruit, 4,000 tons; sugar, l2,O00 tons veset ables, 215 coo tens
 The2e imports, continues the report fur nish about 10 per cent of Germany's pro tein; they contain five pounds of fat per per day, or about quarter of the total ! dsiy fat ration for each German at the present time.
 Supposedly neutral merchants have amas:ed vast fortunes out of this illicit trade with Germany. So extensive has their business become that scores of men in Hol- land Norway and Sweden are known through all the cafes and places of resort as the "goulash millionaireS." Congress already has provided for the experts council consisting of Secretary Lan- sing Secretary Houston and Secretary Red field Secretary Redheld is the executive officer of the council Its orders. requiring all exporters of food from the United States to secure a license under which their busi- ness with the Teuton feeding ports can be absolutely controlled, has been made etfec- tive through proclamation of the President.
 Indicative of the importance of this trade to Germany, experts here have figured that the calories are the equal of the calores in the entire ration of 2,500,000 German sol diers This is about the number of men Germany now has on the western front.
 One reason why the vital character of this situation was not realized here is the Brit ish censor hip. London knew al last fall and winter that the blockade was ineffec- tive Criticism of the government was frequent, and figures were printed in Lon Gon to show the amounts of foodstuffs get ting to Germany Little of this news reached America.
 The publication of the figures by MT. Hoover assures prompt action. This action will not deprive the peorlo of neutral coun- tries cf food supply to which they are entitled. Their supply will be so restricted that they will have none to pass on to Ger many.
 Germany has used her trade relations with the Northern ncutrals to coerce them. They have needed German coal. Germany | has released to them certain amounts of cGal in return for the fats
 E%emYliying the way the United States l has lent itself to the trade attention has been caed to the huge imports of oil cake into Denmark, Holland, Norway and Sweden The oil cake was fed to cattle and the rich mill, turned into butter and cheese and sent to Germany.

Menace of the 1. ". W.

The positive menace to present organized society Of the l. W W. prcbobly may be best appreciated through a coupe of pere- grarbs of the l. W. ". preamhIe edopted at the second convention, in September, 1GG6.
 The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of working peo- ple and the few who make up the emE by ing class have all the good things of life. Between these two classes struggle must go on until the workers of the world or ganize as a class, take possession of the earth and the machinery of production, and abolish the wage system"
 The final paragraph of this preamble says:
 'It is the historic mission of the working class to do away with capitalism. The army of production must be organized not only for the everyday struggle with the capitalist, but also to carry on production when capitalism shall have been overthrown By organizing industrially we are worming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old"

Contempt for Law

And so when Haywood once said, as re- ported in the New York Call q despise the law" he really was epitomlzing the fanatical contempt of himself and his asso- ciates toward all that the law of this nation connotes- civilization, the result of organ ized society with its economic prosperity and Christianity.
 For it must be remembered that, despite what may be said in the heat of anger or in prejudice, the real Industrial Worker is not necessarily a mercenary. Neither IS he work shirker.
 He is something far more dangerous fanatic.
 He will submit to being hauled around the country in cattle cars, he will go to jail, starve be executed almost anything for his belief that he is working for the betterment of the race.
 And above all he will keep constantly before him the one object of his movement, what he calls the emancipation of the work ing class, and he will use the weapons of the strike and boycott; he will sabote until he Is suppressed, and then break out in an other place.
 That is why a strike settlement with the l. w. w. doesn't remain settled for any length of time.
 That is why there are constantly recur- ring industrial troubles in Colorado, in Ari- zona, in Michigan, in Washington and in the silk mills of the East.
 Strike Their BIudgeon
 Your real l. w. W. uses the strike as a bludgeon, and he isn't worried much about settlement. The watchword with him is Strike! Strike! Strike" As against what he terms the "futility of political methods" in attaining his goal, he cries out: "Sa-
