America Knows Why She Fiqhts.


Chicago Herald: Other nations have
submitted to the draft? Yes, where
their men were bred to it from infancy.
The United States has used the draft
before? Yes, after years Of hesitation.
But this draft nothing before has ever
paralleled.
But if this was the act of the nation,
what was the reason of the nation?
Fear? Few feel it. The United
States, they think, could safely enough
have continued to stand aside, waiting
the exhaustion of the combatants.
Revenge? 1t is motive that could
not in years have reused a people so
scattered, SO peaceful by nature, and in
which so many are free as individuals
from any sense of personal injury.
Revenge is black drop, but it dilutes
in hundred million.
Economic profit? That question needs
no reply.
We had to go to war. There was no
way out, unless we accept brutality
for reason. horror as a bedfellow, the
black flag at the mast head, emperors
as anarchs, humanity as a fable, and
our own final shame. The spirit of
good faith to civilization, and that only,
could move our mass; and when we
accepted the draft we accepted it in
that spirit.

BILL ADVANCES
House Receives Measure Giving
President Immense Power.
HOOVER TO BOSS SUPPLIES

Measure Empowers Administration to
Close Boards of Trade, to Fix
Prices, Punish for Hoarding, Pro-
hibit Manufacture of ntoxicants,
Seize Stores and Direct Fuel Supply.
Washington, June 12.-The food die
tatorship bill was favorably reported
to the house. Under its working, Pres
ident Wilson is given practically IN
limited power.
He is authorized to create any
agencies necessary to carry out the
law. This means that if the bill is sue
cessful, Herbert C. Hoover will be the
real food dictator Of the country.
The President is empowered to:
Prohibit the operation Of exchanges
or boards Of trade, or to regulate
their operation when they interfere
with reasonable prices by speculation.
Limit or stop entirely the use Of
food materials in the manufacture Of
alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages,
by proclamation.
License the importation, manufac-
ture, storage or distribution Of any
fods necessary to carry in effect leg
isIation for conserving the food supply
during the war.
Stop any one except the producer
or seller from engaging in food busi-
ness without a license.
Fix a minimum price when he
thinks this necessary to insure pro
duction. An appropriation of $3.50, ,000,-
900 for this and other purposes it in
clude. The committee struck out the
idea of a maximum price.
License the sale Of fuel just as he
may other commodities.
Forbid boarding by the penalty Of a
fine Of not more than $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for not more than two

sumption Of necessaries." The neces-
saries are defined as those "declared
to be affected with a public interest"
Commander storage plants, mines,
factories or other plants. The owner
has recourse to the courts if he thinks
the price designated by the President
is unfair

Chairman Lever thinks the bill
should be passed in about two weeks
from the time it is taken up. It is the
second Of the two measures. The first
provided for stimulation of production
and conservation Of food. The present
measure controls distribution and
price. The sum Of $2,500,0O0 is pro-
vided to pay administrative expenses.
Anyone attempting to block the ex-
ecution Of food control by the Presi-
dent may be fined not more than ST.
900 or imprisoned for not more than
a year Its broad scope it shown by it's
title:
ga bill to provide further for the

looked at his gold watch and chain, he
said to himself: I'm going to make a
visit on Uncle Lucky Lefthindfoot!
You see, the old gentleman rabbit had
given him the gold watch. which al

good. kind uncle.
So Billy Bunny got out his striped
candy cane and his knapsack and
started off and after he had gone a
little ways. not so very far he came
across Old Daddy Long Legs on his
pushmobiie.
