The allies might as well make up their minds first as last that Russia will cut lit tie ice in defeating the Germans. The ed itor of one little Florida paper that we re- ccivc as am exchange, shows more real fight ing spirit than can be found among all the one hundred and eighty million Russians.

IS H. HOOVER
 AN ALARMIST Boston Paper in Doubt as to Whether Food Dictator Should Be
 0beyed or Not

From day to day weehoar through bulletins from Mir. Hoover of the various forms Of shortage that threaten us. Some people are sick of hearing from him. They do not believe things arc 80 bad after oll and they do not want Co hear any thing SO unpleasant, even ir true.
 Few preccdcnts throw much light on tho situation. Food and supplies became very scarce in the confcd- oracy. and they rose to sensational figures here In the North, even if we make allowance for the dcprcciotcd currency in which they found meas urcmcnt. But that was small war; tn lts drain uu world resources and world reservoirs of accumulated wealth, by comparison with the struggle Of which we have now be- come a part
 The law Of supply and demand seems Co reinforce the Hoover idea. Eggs, for example, arc not In thc control of a great trust; two-thirds of the families of Che land can keep hens if they SO desire, and probably an equally large fraction can raise the food with which Co feed them. And yet we see the price of eggs. and we hear what shrewd observers say Of Che effect of killing on hens on egg prices n the near future.
 This war is proving serious strain on Che productive capacity if thc human rocc. The diversion of energy and man-powcr for military purposes is diminishing thc yield of the fields. What shall we do-bc- licve Hoover and get along with half la loaf today. or go confidently for ward, in che expectation that ol will be we'll and await developments? We could answer more iutcIligcutly if we knew when Che war would end. although we shall. iu any event, be years in recovering thc old levels m thc several reservoirs out of which Che world lives Boston Herald.

REPUBLICAN PLAYS POLITICS.
MANN. BLOCKS SCHEME TO GET
QUICK CONFERENCE AC.
TION.
Illinois Representative Tries to Bring
Politics Into National Necessity.

Washington, July 24.-The admins
tration's program of food legislation
encountered another delay today when
Republican Leader Mann blocked
plans to hurry the food control TO
conference. The proposal to create n
joint committee of congress on expen-
diture of the war, written into the
bill in the senate and objected to by
President Wilson as signifying a lack
Of confidence in him, was the feature
which started the trouble. The Re.
publican leader rallied many members
Of his party about him and tonight
the situation had taken on the aspect
Of partisan fight virtually for the
first time since the war session met.
Administration leaders, despairing
of sending the bill to conference un-
der an unanimous consent are prepar-
| ing to bring in a special rule tomor-
row under which they expect to force
a conference and in addition to in
struct the conferees to disagree to all
senate amendments.
Taking the administration manag-
ers by surprise. Mr.. Mann served no.
tice when the bill came up today that
he would not give the unanimous
consent for the bill to go to conference
unless a separate vote was permitted
on the war committee proposal. A
hasty canvass of those present con-
vinced the administration men that
they could not be certain of a ina
jority against the proposal (for the
amendment and adjournment was
taken. Unanimous consent again viii
be asked tomorrow before the special
rule is invoked but the Republican
leaders have summoned the entire
membership for vote and a partisan
division seems certain.
