EvAP0RATED MILK FOR ARMY
Federal Food inspectors Watch Fac
tories Making Product-Much
Being Shipped Overseas.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Federal food inspectors of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
are giving special attention to fac
tories where milk is condensed or
evaporated for use of the allied
armies and for consumers at home.
Condensed or evaporated milk is a
most important article of food even In
peace times. 1t is used by bakeries
and confectioneries, and in feeding
babies and the sick, as well as being
used as a general substitute for fresh
milk wherever the raw milk cannot be
obtained in sufficient quantity or pur-
ity.
In time of war, evaporated milk be-
comes a necessity, because it can be
transported with ease and will keep a
reasonable time under conditions
where it is impossible to obtain or
keep fresh milk. AS much as 80 per
cent Of the output of many large fac
tories is being shipped overseas for
the use of the allied armies.
Inspectors examine the sanitary
condition of factories where milk il
condensed or evaporated, sterilized
and canned. Samples Of the raw milk
rs received at the factories are taken
for analysis by chemists and bac-
teriologists to see that 1t is clean and
wholesome and that 1t possesses the
proper proportion of butterfat and 9th
er ingredients The processes OF evap-
grafton, sterilization, and canning are
studied; samples Of the finished evap-
grated product are taken for examina-
ton in order that it may be deter
mined whether the evaporated milk
has been condensed to the proper con-
stituency. contains the right food ele-
ments, and is clean and wholesome.
The contents of the cans are weighed
and compared with the amount stated
on the labels. The labels on the cans
are critically studied to see that there
Is no misbranding or false statements
made regarding the quantity. the quail
Ity, or the strength of the evaporated
milk.
Inspectors of the various states Co
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors in this work. The federal food
and drugs act applies only to ship
ments of foods that enter Interstate
IT foreign commerce. State inspectors
nave jurisdiction over products made
and sold wholly within the state.
The joint authority of the federal
nd state inspectors often enables
hem, working together, to correct
abuses which either working alone
.ould not reach. Adulterated or mis-
branded condensed milk, when shipped
nto interstate or foreign commerce,
nay be seized under the federal food
md drugs act, sand the manufacturer

prosecuted under the criminal sections

tates, to require insanitary factories

ion.

CHAPTER vi.
Democracys Worst Enemy.

The great military machine which
the kaiser had built up during the first
&c years of his reign 'for the purpose
of maintaining peace" was constantly
itching for war. There was a feeling
among the militarists that while it
was all right for the kaiser to assume
the role of the "Prince of Peace" dur
ing the period of preparation, it was
possible to everyday the part. He SO
frequently referred to the fact that
his sole purpose in maintaining large
army and navy was to maintain peace
that the war lords of Germany began
to fear that perhaps he might mean it.
The murder of the Archduke XFranz
Ferdinand, the successor to the Aus
trian throne, and his wife by Ser
bian on June 30, 1914, gave Germany
the excuse for which she had been
waiting so long to start European
conflagration and found Austria as
anxious for war as her ally.
But even had Emperor Franz Joseph
shown reluctance to plunge his nation
into war and had Austria refused to
chastise Serbia for the murder of the
Archduke doubt very much whether
the kaiser would have allowed that
event to have gone unayenged.
1t touched him in ope of his most
vulnerable spots. The sanctity Of roy
atty is one of his most cherished ideas.
He felt sponsor for the monarchies
of the world, as we feel sponsor for
the democracies. A thrust at throne
was a stab at the kaiser's heart, and
with or without the cooperation of
Austria I firmly believe he would have
gone to any lengths to have avenged
the crime of Sarajevo.
1t is true that the kaiser sent
message to the car of Russia in
which he pointed out that Austria
ought to be allowed to chastise Serbia
without interference from the other
European powers, remarking, I'VE
princes must hold together" but there
can be no doubt that that was very
far from the outcome dearest to his
heart. If, indeed, the punishment OF
Serbia had been accomplished with
out war the kaiser would have been a
most disappointed man, and IL Russia
had failed to mobilize her troops,
which gave Germany pretext for
crossing the Russian border, haven't
the slightest doubt that Germany
would have prodded Russia into war.

follow. Der Tag" (the day. had

did not know at that time that tn
German army lacked medical supplies
but later / saw paper bandages in use
1 have previously referred to tn
kaiser's defense of the use of Zeppe
Inns against Paris, London and othe
nonmilitary Cities. He claimed that
was proper to make war on civilians
because England was endeavoring t,
starve Germany. On one occasion
pointed out to him that in 1870 thu
Germans had besieged Paris and ha(
starved its population.
"The cases are entirely different,
he answered hastily. "Then we were
besieging a city and the civilian pop
ulation had plenty of opportunity to
evacuate it before the siege began
England is besieging a whole nation
and trying to starve my women and
children, who have nothing to do with
| war"
I couldn't help thinking of the
"whole nations which had been alb
solutely crushed under the kaiser's
heel-of Belgium, Servia and Poland.
The kaiser never admitted that the
destruction of the Lusitania was re-
suit of special instructions from him
to the U-boat commander, but in dis
cussing the general subject of subma-
rine warfare he asked:
''What right have Americans to. take
passage on these vessels, anyway? If
they came onto the battlefield they
would not expect us to stop firing,
would they? Why should they expect
any greater protection when they en-
ter the war zone at sea?
"Don't ever forget" he went on, "a
bullet from a pistol would be enough
to sink one of our U-boats. How can
we stop and board vessels we encoun-
ter to ascertain whether they are neu-
trail and not carrying contraband? If
what appears to be a neutral should
in fact prove to be belligerent, or If
a belligerent should heave to in re-
Spouse to the command of one of our
submarines, how could we safely send
Il putty Ofcl WHICH a iihC
shot from the vessel in question would
send us to the bottom? Obviously If
America persists in sending munitions
to the allies, there is but one thing
for US to do-sink the vessels"
When 1 suggested that while the
of the submarine I'M
ioubtedly lessened its value in con-
lection with the right of search which |
1elligerentS have under international |
aw, still the law ought to be OBJ
served, the kaiser interrupted me has
lily with the remark:
international lawl There is no
such thing as international law any
norei"
In that assertion, of course, lies the
answer to all the questions which have
risen in connection with the conduct
# the war. If the Germans recog-
Iized no international law but were
.uided solely by their ideas of expedi-
ncy and the demands of "kultur,"
hen the whole course of the war be-
anne perfectly clear. The use of poi
onous gas, the destruction of unfor-
fled towns, the dissertation of !
hurches, the attacks on hospitals and
ed Cross units, the countless atroci- !
es committed against civilians and
risoners of war require 10 other ex- !
lanation. ;
