Oficials of the United States food
administration estimate that 1900. 900
persons eat daily in hotels. restau-
rants, dining cars and other eating
places which are affected by the reSu-
lations about to be enforced to save
food. One Of the new rules Is that an
allowance Of two pounds Of sugar for
each 80 meals served is to be the limit
for such establishments.
In addition to economizing food the
rules have for their object the simpli-
fication Of service. Meat and \vege-
tables are to be served on one plate,
thus obviatng side dishes. There will
be a lesser number Of articles Of food
and reduction in the number and
sizes Of menu cards. These regula-
lions are expected to save labor and
essential materials.

council 1T Bremen declared that Presi-
dent Wilson's stand that there could be
no negotiations except with free peo-
pies precipitated the German revolu-
ton. "-Copenhagen cable to New York
Times.
{ Now the campaign is over why should
not everybody frankly recognize that
President Wilson has not only unified
the purpose of Europe in the war, but
has presented that purpose to the peo-
pie of Germany in such . way.as to un-
dermine the German resistance?
Does anybody believe that Germany
would have broken down if the war had
been prosecuted merely to whip Ger
many, or to take away territory, OF
for any of the other incidental pur-
poses? The Germans have been in too
msny other wars. and have demonstra-
ted too often what sort Of resistance
they could offer, for anybody to be-
lieve that.
Germany has broken down because
the presidents appeal went directly to
the weakness of the German situstion,
because the call Of democracy was just
a. much . call to Germany as to the
rest Of Europe. The leaven of unrest
was in Germany - it is in Sweden and
Holland and as it will be in Belgium
tho moment the old order is to be re.
stored. 1t was that leaven the presi.
dent set to working with the result
that Germany did not wait for invad-
ing armies to kick the monarch off his
thrown.
Whether Germany was to abandon
militarism snd autocracy voluntarily or
must be forced to it counted probably q
difference of q million lives to the
American amies, and countless billions
of dollars to the American treasury.
Nobody can today measure what it
has meant to this country and to the
world that we have had . man of such
vision at such time, 10 capable to ex-
press in final terms the highest aspira-
tons of oil races.
IT the president's presence at the
peace table will in the slightest degree
conduce to the acceptance Of the won
derful program for the world he has
outlined he should be escorted to the
post Of embarkation by the American
people en- masse.
- There will be time enough to cast up
accounts in domestic politics after this
one supreme job Of world reorganiza.
ton has been attended to.-Des Moines
