FOOD AND GERMANY,

The importance OF guns and ammunition is not to
shot and shell and to be feared is the spectre
of starvation which appears to be lowering over
Germany. Lack of food is without doubt to be one
of the most potent factors in bringing the war to
end. without n sufficient food supply the best
soldier that ever stepped is incapactatcd.
Germany. of course. does not need to be told that
soldier must be well fed in order to fight and it
is certain that long the food supply lasts the
about the civilian population? Such meagre re-
ports are received would lead to the conclusion
that the food situation in Germany is assuming a
very serious aspect.
Sunday during food riot and reports of similar
outbreaks in other German cities would lead to the
belief that lack of food is TO be even greater fac
tor in the than it has appeared to be I'D TO the
of as great importance as is the furnishing of
money and munitions.
The Missoula Chamber of Commerce is CO. oper-
ating to the fullest extent with the department OF

we sec that the soldiers in the trenches, whether
American, or French English are well fed but
we must also put forth every effort to prevent any

AN OLD QUOTATION.

"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own
country is an old familiar quotation. In fact it is
so ancient to be worthy of first rank In the bro
mide class. Nevertheless, there are times when
it is singulary apt and applicable. Never was it
more to the point than at the luncheon given by
the Missoula Rotary club in honor Of Walter Dam
rosch and Efrem Zimbalist.
Mr. Damrosch was seated beside Chancellor FL
lott and In the course of their conversation in
quired IL there was not composer in Montana by
the name of Burleigh. The chancellor pointed out
Professor Bureigh at the table and during the
course Of his remarks following the luncheon, Mr..
Damrosch referred to Mr. Burleigh as one of the
foremost composers OF the United States and spoke
in the highest Of terms OF his work.
We Of Missoua know Professor Burleigh and

Trees Needed
City Gets No Answer to.
Call for Foliage Bids.

Last winter tie South Missoula
Land company gave to the city Of
Missoula park site out in Resi-.
dence addition. "A string on the
gift. however, compels the city to
plant trees on the land this spring.
But the city can't find anyone
with trees for sale.
That's a fact. A call for bids on
a large number of trees. though it
was extensively published by
newspaper and by mail, has
brought no replies. Bids were due
last Tuesday. but Mayor II. T.
Wilkinson says the city commits
sion will still receive offers.
Perhaps. the mayor said yester-
day. the present necessity Of plant
ing beans in last years flower beds
has discouraged all local nursery
men. Or perhaps the inclusion in
the park specifications OF some
trees not commonly grown in Mis-
soula frightened bidders away.
II the latter guess is correct the
city will help the nurserymen by
accepting bids on any part Of the
whole number Of trees. Some trees
must be secured at once il any
planting is to DO done this year,
and planting must be done If the
city is to keep Its park.

MORALITY OF NATIONS.

international morality is at the lowest ebb since
the dawn OF civilization according to the view
pressed by Marquis Okuma, former premier OF ia
PAN in an article in the Shin Nippon Maya zine OF
Toxic. Okuma's article. it IS said, has received
careful consideration by the officials of the state
department, who think 1t may contain the official
japanese viewpoint world affairs today
The attitude of Okuma is not a hopeful one at ALL
He sees no reason to put any faith In treaties at
present because he Is convinced they are binding
only so long as they are Of use to the sgnatories
In his article Okuma. who long has been one OF
the great figures of Japan and is the spokesman of
the elder statesmen, says:
Though on the surface OF things International
morality appears to have made some progress it
has In fact, witnessed little or no DEVELOPMENT
whenever any international controversy occurs
armed 1orce IS resorted to as the only weapon for
deciding It, What guarantees have the Vienna
treaty of 1915 and other international compact,
given for peace" The peace guarantees by these
treaties are by no means true peace, for all the
contracting parties watching for an OBJ
porunty to attack their adversary, broodlng ven-
geance all the while
Germany is a case in point. During the forty
years which have passed since the Franco German
war 1t has been unremitting in preparing itself for
the present conflict and when 1t saw a chance Of
carrying out its ambitious designs it started the
present gigantic war.
Germanys bad faith such as would have
made Machavelli open his eyes with wonder. 1t
was nothing but brigandage a large scale.
1T may be inferred that the despotic govern
ment OF the kaiser is responsible for Prussian mill
tar'sm which probably is not approved by the
masses OF the German people. At any rate the
entente powers cannot afford to conclude peace by
reliance on empty avowas of sincerity by the en-
envy. or on written pledges which may be rent to
pieces by him with the sword.
with whatever solemnty treaties now may be
concluded, they are OF no practical value, as tho
most solemn oath taken in the name OF God readily
Is broken In case OF necessity As these treaties
are concluded by the powers concerned with an eye
to their respective interests they make nothing OF
going back upon their oath when they see their
interests are seriously jeopardized"

The local order Of Railway Conductors recently
passed resolution pledging It's moral and physical
support to the United States in the present war
This stand is endorsement Of the action taken by
the American Federation OF Labor and is worthy Of
comment. The spirit Of cooperation which is be.

Is splendid and while we believe that the Order OF

ARTILLERY AND THE WAR.

Napoleon's concept OF the relation OF divinity to
artillery This statement is being and more
cnphatically emphasized with every succeeding day
of the conflict. English and French have massed
artillery until it seems ii even German ingenuity
is unable to construct defense against the torrent
of lead which is being poured the linden
burg line of resistance.
An English officer. recently returned from the
front. has stated that at the first the artillery Of
the French and English armies inadequate
and poorly supplied with ammunition that bat
teries limited to a certain number Of shells Il
day, matter how strong the appeal from the
trenches for artillery protection, but that at the
present time guns plentiful that all of them
could not be used to advantage. He also stated
that plentiful supply OF ammunition was on hand
One of Americas chief duties is to to 1t that
this supply of guns and ammunition does not grow
less that it is kept to the maximum point of eff
cheney and that, though believe right to be
side, everything within power be done
to that Sapoeon's prescription, which vas filled
and found efficient many a battlefield Is made
available for what may be termed our armies"
Napoleons statement undoubtedly correct,
but In his case do not the heaviest batteries
eventually group themselves on the side OF right

ponderance of heavy artillery against him and the
kaiser is having the same experience

IN THE ALAMEDA.

(From the Poetry Journal)
There Is a music in the wind
Among the expresses.
The Alameda is quick with sounds:
Hummng birds darling from the shadows,
The laughter of half naked children,
And the vivid murmur Of the city
F1ltering through.
But cannot tell what
This multiple breath of God
Is saying
The hammers of the poems annoy me-
Perturb my spirit
With their thudding salvos to the gulled.
Old trees! Ruby throated birds.
Unobtrusive flowers!
What says the Wind and the Breath to you?
Viva Libertad! Viva Independently!
You Inasqueriding utilities!
You eloquent lies OF the masters!
Upon your symbolic arches
OF lath and plaster
The people will stamp with red. wet feet
The people,
Whose deep curses come even now
From the barros
From gray-b brown adobe novels
Squat, squalid and evil smelling.
Viva Mexico!
The hammers suddenly silent.
And the poems SLOUGH off to rest
To drink.
They will drink to stupefaction.
Then tomorrow they will come hack
With their heavy hammers
And their heavier curses
God pity the poor blind.
But arches OF lath and plaster
Cannot last forever
Then some day . . When?
How long. 6 Lord? How long?

At Monday nights meeting the
school principals were furnished with

many boys they can use. This is to
be done by the farmer writing to
Leroy Powell, Topeka. Powell and
his committee will see to it that the
farmer is delivered his help.
A systematic method of distributing
the students to farmers has also been
worked out by the Rotary club. Be
cause of the fact that farmers are too
busy to come to the city to obtain the
boys. members of the Rotary club
have rendered the services of their au-
tOmobiles in transporting the students
to the country. The recruiting COM
mittee as the Powell body has been
christened. will accompany each boy
to the farm if necessary and settle de-
tails of his employment.

The cards which were distributed
among all students in the city today
contained place for the recruits

grade and a statement of his previous
experience on the farm. The applicant
must also have the approval of his
parents.
The action of the Topeka Rotary
club in working out the mobilization of
the students follows a plan to do
their bit" in the war by 'mobilizing all
school children in the United States
and sending them to farmers which
was adopted recently by the National
