to be happy. You will find this diff

CONCERNING OUR RESOURCES.

The time is fast coming in America
as in the European countries who have
special agents that force their SUBJ
jects to conserve and vitalize their
energy, but with US here our house
wives waste and destroy nearly one
third of the food that they prepare
for various reasons. Some are waste
full because they have always had
abundant. Then again we have never
been taught economy in the home, and
again many ladies honestly say that
they do not know how to conserve.
How sad to hear of such expression.
This is the age Of scientific and eco
nomical conservation and the good
housewife as we'll as the bountiful pro-
WIDER will study the art Of saving and
meet the crisis of high cost of living.

raising freight rates The railroads are
anxious that rates be raised. Their po-
sitiOn is that If the properties are run
at loss they will at the end OF the
war be forced to resume private uper-
alton on a basis that will not give
them revenues enough to pay OK
penses The disposition of government
officials apparently is to agree with
them in this respect.
1t ~ considered unlikely that there
will be any strong sentiment for trans
porting government freight free OF cost
as is done In England.
Officials hold that II government
freight ~ paid for as it is hauled the
government will be in u much better
position to determine accurately the
/ exact financial effects OF government
operation.

director general is held TO lose its
standing as an Independent agency,
deciding on their merits requests fOr
rate increases and the subject of in

ably by the president.
Some railroad officials today eX-
pressed the opinion that once the
railroads are run as a single unit IL
will he impossible after the war 10
go back to the old system of competI.
tion. Lifting anti-pooling restrictions,
they hold, will disrupt elements OF or

But beyond this, I never even dreamed of

1t was in February 1915, that Germany de-
cIarod her blockade of the British Isles: it
was soon afterwards that President Wilson
published the bold, legal, and patriotic re-
spouse to Gcrmany's insolent challenge.
That response contained the well-known
threat to hold ito strict accountability any
aGgressor who destroyed American property
or lives, IN violation Of the Law of Nations.
Ar. Bryan, Secretary of State, called at the
oflce OF the Austrian ambassador, Dr. Dumba,
and told him, that Germany and her allies
need not take the Presidents note seriouslv
Our Secretary Of State assured DR.. Dumba
that the published paper, which he had Off
claIly signed, did not mean what it said, but
was only meant for "home consumption"
