GERMANY'S FUEL-OIL
SUPPLY CUT

Germany has been cut off from its
usual supply of fuel oil and gasoline
as a result of the armistice with Aus
.tria, and the consequent stoppage of
all traffic between Austria and Ger
many. Germany has been obtaining
fuel oil and gasoline from Galicia and
Roumania. Up to the time Of Au-
stria's complete collapse and surren-
der, it is understood Germany had
been planning to import huge amounts
of oil from the fields of the Caucasus.
Germany has no fuel-oil supplies
within her own borders and has been
using for lubricating oil, derivative
of coal tar--benzol. This source how
ever will not supply Germany's wants.
disqualification of the Austrian army
means that thousands of miners will
return to the Austrian coal fields so
that it is probable there will not be
great amount of suffering because
of lack of coal this winter in Austria.

PEACE.TIME PROGRESS

The War Department has started
"charting the air lanes" OF the United
States. Army aviators are taking pic
lures with stereopticon cameras show
ing all landmarks such as cities, rail-
roads, waterways. mountains, etc,
along prospective airplane routes, for
guidance to pilots in cross-country
flights.
This work is said to be preliminary
to the establishment of regular avia-
ton mail and passenger service be-
tween important population centers in
every section of the country.
Thus already we begin preparations
for developing the most modern form
of transportation on big scale. II is
merely one indication of the vast ma
ferial progress we may expect to
make now along many lines, If we ap-
ply to peace pursuits half the intelli-
gence and energy We have devoted to
war. There ought to be a tremendous
awakening in every useful department
OF human activity.

THE POOR GERMAN PEOPLE

(By N. A. Jennings.)
The poor German people are starving,
they say,
And are begging for pity and aid;
They were never at fault, but were
just led astray
BY the rulers they blindly obeyed
They were never to blame when they
cut off the hands
OF the Belgian babies in glee,
And ravaged the women, and ravaged
the lands,
And murdered the helpless at sea.
They were never to blame when their
bayonets they thrust
Into babies and held them aloft;
They did it for Kul.ur, in Colt was
their trust,
And their hearts were remarkably
soft
And the poor German women who
cruelty jeered
At the prisoners, wounded, half
dead,
And spat in their faces, reviled them
anu SueeTeu,
Perhaps did not mean all they said.
Though the Kaiser was naughty, his
people were good,
And they didn't mean half that they
did;
And they fear that their motives were
misunderstood,
Since their sweetness and kindness
they hid,
And now they're in trouble and want
to be fed,
Say they're sorry and cry. Kane
radi"
So We'll love the dear hellions and
give them our bread
And forget that they seemed to be
bad.

THE FooD SITUATION

Americans have been somewhat puz-
zled and confused by recent swift
changes in food regulations. First we
were told that we must save more food
than ever for our allies and for the
peoples of Central Europe. Then we
were informed that we need not use
wheat substitutes in bread much long
er. but may soon return to whole
wheat -four. Both these statements
are true.
More food is needed in Europe. But
because wheat and some other food
supplies can now be brought from In
dia, Australia and South America. the
kinds of food asked of us are different.
Dairy feeds are short everywhere. By
sending more corn, rye, barley and
fats abroad we help to meet the scar
city of animal feed in Europe. Our
own shortage, too, is relieved by re-
leasing the substitutes recently used
in bread. Hence the whole-wheat
-four. Both these statements are true.
Because of the difficulties in trans
portation and distribution, the food
which we sent to the occupied regions
OF Belgium and France through the
Relief Commission amounted to the
minimum on which human life could
be maintained. 1t is our plan now to
send plenty, to rebuild physically a
long under-nourished population.
The Food Administration is still on
the job, with some of the biggest prob
lens OF its work ahead. Our own task
is simply to hold up our end of the
food program We must relax none
OF our efforts, but follow changing
suggestions and regulations with even
greater care and thoroughness than
before.

DID REAL WELFARE WORK
Money Spent Ostensibly As Charity
Brings Big Results

Brings Big Results
The Washington bureau of The Sun
states that methods used by The Bal
timore Dry Docks & Ship Building Co.,
in building up, and maintaining the
morale of its workmen during the
''fiu" epidemic, were highly state
ment setting forth how the Maryland
concern fought the malady, and help
ed those of its workmen who fell i'll
with it. The statement follows:
"A splendid example of what man
agement can do in building up morale
among the wage earners is seen in
the policy of The Baltimore Dry Docks
& Ship Building Co., of Baltimore,
during the "fiu" epidemic. An ounce
of such practical humanitarianism is
worth many pounds of speed-up post
ers without anything tangible in the
way of helpfulness to back them up.
When the "fiu" epidemic hit Balti-
more its effect on the working force
of the Dry Docks company, employing
IL 900 men, was serious. Hundreds
of workers fell sick. many died; pro-
duction, vital war production, fell off
Immediately.
AS soon as the seriousness of the
disease made itself apparent, the man
agement of the plant attached five
prominent Baltimore physicians to its
staff for the sole purpose of attending
the company's employees without
charge. A special fund was entrust-
ed to these doctors, with instructions
TO distribute it among the families Of
workers wherever illness had brought
the home to the poverty line. Up to a
few days ago. nearly $4,000 had been
given out in this way in allotments
varying from SO to $50.
Beyond this, when shortage of collins
set in, and the price of those available
naturally increased, the cabinet work.
ers at the plant were instructed to
turn out number of caskets, which
were distributed free to the families
of employees as need arose.
The reaction of the workers to all
this, was immediate. The diminished
force made every effort to keep pro-
duction up to normal level. Realizing
that in some cases employees not in
i'll health, we're staying at home be-
cause of the prevalence of the cpl
demic. the workmen's committee at
the plant took it upon themselves to
check up all absentees and prevail on
those able to work, not to lose an hour
of time in their duty of war produc-
tion.''

MACHINERY oF GoyERNMENT

IL has been said often that if the
German people ever undertook to form
a social democracy. they would have
little difficulty. because they had the
training and the mechanism. Indus
trially, socially, commercially, they
have long been thoroughly organized.
Politically they have attained an or
ganization no less thorough, without
adequate popular-representati
The great German governmental
system, from Kaiser down to the
humblest subject, worked smoothly.
Forms were all prescribed. Officials
wree trained to their duties. Depart
ments knew their work. Everywhere
there were specialists; everywhere
there were men experienced in every
branch of public service everywhere
the routine OF administration was es-
tablished. The mechanism almost ran
itself
1t was quite different in Russia,
where the masses were densely ig-
VI RoAAAANtA hA0ttCAcs WASAS
there were few men trained to public
service, and no order and system in
any way comparable to Germany's.
Only two things. then. were neces-
sary to transform Germany into
democracy: The will of the people,
and the technical substitution of the
State for the Kaiser as the source of
authority.
Recent events seem to eorroborate
this view. When the people once made
up their collective mind about the
Kaiser. he was eliminated as easily as
the Gar was by the Russians. Kais-
erism. like Czarism. is only a public
state of mind. With the Kaiser gone,
and the petty kings. princes and dukes
of the various German states following
him into harmless obscurity. we shall
soon see whether the system is really
self-operating without them.
There seems to be no good reason

shades Of Old Black Joe. and Uncle
Tom, they are picking cotton with a
vacuum cleaner.
Some miserable inventor with more
sense than imagination has invented a
machine with powerful suction
pump which creates a vacuum in five
big picking pipes. each of which is
handled by a man; and it is said that
a swep of one big nozzle across row
of blossoms will pick them clean, the
cotton passing through fan in the
center of the machine which separates
it from the leaves and sticks.
The average rate of picking by hand
was about 200 pounds day for one
man, and the waste was considerable;
but the machine picks 1000 pounds
per man, or 5000 pounds day, with
practically no waste. This is a fine
outlook for poor, hard-resting
darkeyi
OF course it's a great thing for the
cotton business, but personally we feel
that one more death blow has been
struck at Romance. Mammy's little
Alabama coon will have to find a new
place to take her nap; and far from
having to be walked, old Nicodemus
will turn right over in his grave when
he hears that machine going, down in
the cotton field.
