that hasn't been produced. The president
has raised the price of wheat to the
farmer; but that doesn't bring labor to
his aid. What benefit is high price
N for grain he can't raise?
There is a large and general activity
relating to the cultivation of gardens,
on unused plots of land in towns and
cities but while this is an excellent
thing. in its way, both as to results and
the benefits derived, physically, by those
who do the work. it will have no bearing
on the great big question of staple foods.
This problem cannot be considered in
terms of six rows of cabbages and a
| hill of cucumbers-it must be consid
! cred in terms of millions of acres, and
millions of bushels of wheat and pounds
of pork. We can't feed Pershing on let
| tuce.
There = one remedy-only one. We
must get men to the farmer No matter
how-we must get them. If the wages
he is able to pay won't tempt men--and
evidently they don't--then we must con
+, script men.
Revolutionary? This is revolution
airy time. announcement? So is hunger.
Unheard OF? Nothing like this war was
ever heard of The proposition may
seem drastic and despotic and everything
else the conscientious objector to toll
may call it, but il is an immediate, ur-
gent and vital necessity.
We have the governmental machinery
to do it, and surely ii we have the right
to draft men TO preserve our liberties
we have the right to draft men to pre-
serve our lives. Surely those who are
unable or unwilling to fight ought to
be willing to work.
The men are ready to our hand. Call
out the rejected men from the first
draft. Flat feet kept John Smith from
carrying rihe--they won't prevent
him from trailing plough. George
Jones may have lost his trigger finger,
vet he may develop into an artist with
a hoe.
Call out every hoy from Is to 81
throughout the country. Most of them
would be glad to 20 and it would do
them good Send these men out in squads
of ten under efficient direction, and semi
military control, as near their homes
as possible Pay them the market price
or more if necessary Establish rigid
housing and food regulations, and if
possible let them camp out. Let them
put in eight hours day. Let them
serve from March to September. A cou
pie of million men put to work will dou-
BILE the size of the 1918 crop and that's
what we've got to do-double the crops.
The only way to make sure of food
is to get men now, put them to work
now, and keep them at work until har
vest time is over viii we do tor do
we prefer to 90 hungry?

SHALL WE STARvE?
By Mark Swami of the vigilantes.

We need the biggest staple food out
put in the coming season the UniteC
States has ever produced. If we don't
get it, somebody is going hungry,
The farmer says we're not going tc
get it. He says he's going to produce
only so to So per cent of last years
output. He says he wants to raise bic
crops but he can't do it because he can't
get the labor to plant and cultivate
and harvest them.
If the statement of our needs IS cor
rect and what the farmer says is true,
there is trouble ahead
The army question is big question.
So is the coal question; so is the ship
question and the railroad question; but
the food question is the greatest of all.
and if we don't answer ii. if we don't
face it, and examine ii and solve it, all
the Others will subsequently possess only
an ancient interest for us
Everybody knows there is food
shortage in the world at the present
time. Some countries are rationed, some
are face to face with hunger, and in our
own country, where superabundance has
always existed until now, we are feel
ing the first touch of the icy finger
of famine, while the high cost of living
is rapidly climbing to the top round of
the ladder
Our people, our allies, our AIRY and
navy depend upon us for food, to say
nothing of certain neutral nations. If
we are short what is going to happen
We have to depend on what we take
out of the ground and the farmer has
given us fair warning that he can't take
it out. We'd better listen to him. He
says much of his labor has been drafted.
He says much of it has been attracted
by high wages in munltion factories.
He points out clearly he has the land
and the machinery but not the labor.
This is no time for debate, something |
ought to be done. Something must be
done. And unless ii is done right and |
done quickly it viii be too late, for the
planting season is nearly here and the |
farmer can plant but once year.
This problem is so vast and SO intri-
cate that it cannot be settled by any
individual or group. To deal with it an
immediate. widespread understanding of
the necessity must be aroused and the
resulting activity must be social and
governmental.
What has been done up to this time
We have food administrator
Hoover and hes doing good work-sav-
ng food but Hoover can't save food

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s--CompIets
plans will be announced during the
day for the funeral OF John Cardinal
Farley, archbishop OF the Roman
Catholic diocese of New York, who
died last night at his summer home
near Aamaroneck after an illness Of
six weeks.
The end came peacefully and beau
tifully," said the Right Rev Patrick
]. Hayes, auxiliary bishop OF the do
cese. The cardinal had several sink
ing spells during the afternoon and
each left him weaker. Several times
we felt certain that the end had
come, but he rallied. We were pre-
pared, because the physicians had told
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1918-09-18

US that there wAs no hope for re.
covery."
The funeral ceremonies will be the
most impressive held in New York In
years. Today the Cardinals body will
remain at his Mararoneck home, and
there will be no special services. To-
morrow AFTERNOON the body will be
brought to New York. Following the
hearse will be the Cardinals commit
tee and other Catholic organizations.
Along the route the various Catholic
congregations will assemble
A detachment from the Sixty-ninth
Regiment will meet the corteEe IN

RUSSIANS DUPED
BY GERMAN AGENTS

General Parski, Russian commander.
in-chief OF the Petrogrsd district. was
selected by the German intelligence
service to oppose the men OF his own
country.
This is shown by secret documents
from Russia, made public today by the
Committee on Public Information.
Communications were made public
which show that the Germans were
fully Informed OF events in the Ukraine
and that the peace treaties in the
Ukraine and Roumania were coming
along.
Expose Foe Trickery.
Notes from the German intelligence
service to Trotzky. the commissar of
foreign affairs, show. first. that a
Turk with a Russian passport was
sent TO Petrograd to keep watch over
the Russian commander-in-chief, and
that a month aftervard, late in Feb
ruary. removal OF the commander-tn-
chief, Gen. Bonch Bruevick, was de-
mAnded.
Bruevick, whose continuance in the
position was particularly no longer
desirable" to the Germans, was turn
ed out, and General Parski, named by
the German intelligence service, was
appointed to command the Petrograd
district.
Agents Were towards.
Another note from the Intelligence
service complains that the agents sent
to kin Generals Kaledine, Bogaevsky.
and Alexieff. were cowardly, non-enter-
prisinE people" This same document
shows that as long ago as December.
1911, former German prisoners OF war
were being dressed in Russian uniforms
to fight loyal Russian soldiers.
