such supplies of food that, if war were
renewed, she could ignore the submarin4
menace. As Germany now relies upon
her U boats as her principal means OF
offense against England this long breath
ing spell, which would put her chief
enemy in excellent shape to continue
the war indefinitely, would mean the
undong of all that sDe has acc0mplis n
ed upon the seas. The United STATE,
too, would be enabled to make its infu-
ence much more effectively felt if I'M

Germany NAV, therefore, be expo ct
ed to urge upon Russia the idea of a
separate peace rather than generi
armIstice. But a separate peace, &C
cording TO all dispatches from Petro-
grad, is likely to involve another revo-
luton in Russia and the overthrow Of
the insists now in power. From every
point of view it is delicate situation for
the Central Empires and Russia. While
they are haggling over negotiations
the allies will go right on fighting. AS
the Bolsheviki outfit is not recognized
as Government probably no attention
will be paid to anything that emanates
from it.

HOOVER TO SWING
THE BIG STICK
Prosecution for Retailers Who
Charge EXOrbitant Profits.

Food Administrator Hoover is get
ting ready to swing his big stick
The nrst blow probably " i'll fall with
in ten days, when at least four lines of
prosecution will be opened against Vi
olaters of food regulations.
One line of prosecution will be against
large retail dealers who have made tenn
porary shortages in sugar and salt an
excuse to force sales of other commo-
dities. Some dealers have required
customers to purchase 80 cents worth
of other goods to get two pounds Of
sugar, or 81 worth of other stuff to get
four pounds.
Hoover has ruled that dealers may
require but ore combination purchase
that they may require purchase CT
two pounds of cornmeal tor each pound
of sugar. Any other requirement Of
combination purchases is strictly Out
side Hoover's regulations.
The second class of prosecutions will
be of dealers charging exorbitant prices
simply because a shortage enables them
to collect more
Sugar, for instance. is regulated
through its entire course from producer
to retailer, the prices range beng de-
finitely fixed. These regulated prices
place sugar in the hands of retailers at
fig ure that should enable it to reach
the cOnsumer-with fair profit to the
retailer-at between 9 and 10 cents
pound. Many dealers, evidently be-
lieving Hoover does not mean what he
says, have boosted prices to u -, Is
and even 20 cents.
Where dealers who have required
illegal combination purchases, or who
have boosted prices, are licensed, they
can be dealt with directly. If Hoover
revokes the ircenses, they cannot con-
tinue in business. Some of the worst
offenders are Chain store" concerns.
One of these concerns may be made
the first example.
Violators not licensed will be reached
through their sources Of supply, whole
salers and jobbers being ordered to re-
fuse them further supplies.
The third class of prosecutions will
be of Individual boarding foodstuffs in
excess of their normal needs, and the
fourth class will be of persons found
guilty of wasteful handling. The food
law makes it unlawful knowingly to
waste or willfully to permit preventable
deterioration" of foodstuffs. Several
cases of this nature have been discoy-
cred, seemingly fostered by pro-Ger-
mans, and these cases are to be pushed
to the limit.
