upon conflict which will tax its re-
sources and energies to the utmost.
Every factor for success must be con-
served and properly directed. The war
it has been often urged, will be won by
food, and the government needs to have
the power to direct and control the dis
tribution of food supplies in order that
there may be an even use and that the
consumers may not be burdened with
excessive prices for the sake of extor.
tionate profits.
In its original form, as respects the
food control, the measure was satisfac.
tory. Amendments that weaken the ten.
trail authority over the food distribu-
ton and price regulation take from it
most of its usefulness. No restrictions
should be placed upon the power of the
administration to prevent storage for
price imitation, and the operation Of the
law should be vested in the hands of
the most concentrated authority, with
no restrictions upon the President in
respect to personnel It will be a ma
tional calamity if the bill goes upon its
passage with the features now proposed
in the Senate, whatever it may carry in
the matter of liquor regulation.

The Food Control Bill.

It will be worse than blunder if
after all the weeks Of debate the two
houses Of Congress pass flood con-
troll" bill that does not give the govern
ment actual powers Of control and regu-
lation. Yet in the form in which It is
now pending in the Senate, through the
Gore amendment, the measure lacks the
essentials Of effectiveness, and If passed
in this form will tie the hands Of the
administration In respect to tho real
control Of the food supply and the pre-
vention Of profiteering at tho expense
Of tho people.
To permit, as the measure now does,
storage Of foods for the purpose Of Sc
curing higher prices takes from the bill
the first essential to effective regulation.
And to place the administration Of this
work in the hands Of Q mined commits

Building the Ships.

Gen. Cocktails letter announcing the
program for emergency shipbuilding
discloses that big beginning has been
made, even though the public may at
times have feared that the whole enter
prise Of ship construction was being
blocked by controversy and discussion.
Contracts have been let for 348 wooden
ships, with a total tonnage of 1918 900
and negotiations are under way for 100
more Of these vessels. Contracts have
also been let for II steel ships, with a
tonnage of $500. Thus work is now in
progress on 425 vessels, with tonnage
Of 1,S6l 800, and the full program con.
templates the production Of moro than
three million tons within eight months
from the organization of the work. In
addition to the wooden ships already
under contract negotiations are unde,
way for contracts for 100 additional
vessels Of this type. Furthermore, plants
for the construction of steel ships are
about to be contracted for with a ca
pacity Of 400 vessels Of a total tonnage
Of 2,500,0o0 within the next IS to q
months.
This is comprehensive, satisfactory
program Of work. The vessels unde,

Socialism.

The socialists have entered the mayor
atty campaign in New York, and are ex-
pecting q vote of hundred thousand.
Four years ago they polled thirty-two
thousand. 1t is guess, of course as to
whether they will draw the more heavily
from the fusionists or from the demo-
Gratis. Tammany is said to be viewing
the situation serenely.
IF this growth of socialistic sentiment
should be recorded in New York in No
vember the effect will be to hearten the
national leaders of that party for 1920.
They are already counting their chick
ems. As they view matters, both of the
old parties are losing ground. The war
has confused where it has not strapped
old issues, and Is bringing new issues to
the front. Neither of the old parties
sees its way clearly. Both are cropping,
and in the end will land in the ditch
together.
Tho socialists expect the prohibition
party as for long organized to disap-
pear. It is on the eve of accomplishing
its leading purpose-the putting Of John
Barleycorn out Of business. With that
achieved, many of the leading prohibit
tionists will seek new alignments, and
some will embrace socialism.
This, then, according to seciaiistic cal
culations, will make socialism the domi-
nant reform cry in the country. Pee-
pie will examine it more closely than
ever before. Those who have rejected
1t upon hurried and superficial ex-
animation will change their opinions and
accept it, while those who have been in
different, and in that way have held on
to old affiliations, will, shaken up by
war influences, align themselves with "the
latest thing Jut" in the way Of progress.
The national standard bearer of this
party, now reckoning itself the third
party, is not indicated by name. He
may prove to be Morris Hillquitt, the
man nominated for mayor Of New York.
At present the strength Of socialism is
urban, and New York as the metropolis
Of the country may claim consideration
for its man on that account. Intellec-
tually, he is Of higher order than
Debs, and is also Of more advanced
school. The war has not only put fresh
spirit into socialism, but given it some
new twists; and in this approaching
local campaign, and in the national one
to follow three years hence, it will have
to define itself in terms within the un-
Outstanding Of all.

in some Of the states, no date can yet
be fixed for the draft itself. For some
reasons this work has been tardily per-
formed, but every day adds to the list
of those that are ready for the draft.
Probably within a week or ten days at
the outside the drawing will take place,
and those who are selected to 60 will
be known. Meanwhile it is desirable
that every man whose name is on the
registration list should ascertain his
draft number. The Star has given in
formation as to where these numbers
can be learned, the map printed yes
terday showing the places graphically.
Every possible precaution has been
taken to make this drawing absolutely
fair and uniform throughout the coun-
try An imll amount Of work has
been entailed in the registration and
the organization of the exemption
boards, the numbering of the registrants
and the preparation of official lists. Con-
sidering the details involved this op-
Grafton has been effected with remark
ably little friction and with surpris-
ing speed, even though at this time the
draft itself is being held up by the I'M
readiness of some of the states. Amer
lea is making an army much more
quickly than was thought possible, and
without doubt the reports being sent
to Berlin by those who in this coun-
try are representing the kaiser secretly
convey little consolation to the high
command on the score Of American I'M
preparedness.

Bastille Day.

ago the people of Paris performed an
incredible feat. Stirred to rebellion by
the prosecutions of an autocracy which
bled them white and gave them in re-
turn for their tax money one of the
most corrupt and inefficient govern
ments in history, they attacked the
stronghold Of royalty, the symbol Of the
kings absolute power, the Bastille. It
was supposedly impregnable prison.
1t stood for the unquestioned right of
the monarch over the lives and liberties
Of his subjects. Within it had for many
years been imprisoned those who had
incurred the royal displeasure or those
for whose Incarceration for the benefit
of court favorites letters of arrest had
been granted. Traffic in these letters
had prevailed until justice was a mock
cry in France.
The Bastille was the token of an un-
bearable burden of cruelty. The people
had long been complaining and CON-
plants had sweHed in volume and had
turned to threats Of revolt. Suddenly
from the gardens Of the Palais Royal,
once the home of the great Richelieu,
surged an impulse. Camille Desmoulins,
a fiery orator, had ignited the flames Of
insurrection with the spark Of his elo-
quence. The mob swept eastward toward
the Bastille, natural objective. 1t was
but rabble, i'll armed, but led by de-
termined spirits. The Bastille fell with
surprising quickness. It was after all
but a sham of strength, true symbol in
its faH Of the monarchy which it repre-
sented. Thus, on the 14th Of July, 1889,
was sounded the knell of monarchy in
France. 1t revived, in a reaction, but
after few decades marked by momen-
tous events it passed, doubtless forever.
Today America in spirit celebrates

moment on the soil of France preparing
to enter the great fight that has involved
more than half the world and has al
ready, in nearly three years, cost an
appalling number Of lives and uncoun-
able treasure. Bastille day would prob
ably not have been possible had it not
been for the American revolution.
France had helped the colonists to es-
tablish their independence. In the strug-
gle of the French for their own lib
critics America had been sympathetic.
From the first moment Of this contest,
America, though neutral, was in spirit
partisan to France. Today the tri-color
and the Stars and Stripes float together
in celebration of the fall of monarchy's
stronghold in 1889. The sprigs of green
leaves plucked from the trees of the
Palais Royal gardens and worn as the
symbols Of revolt are still fresh.
