IS AMERICA AWAkE7

AS much as has been said and writ
ten in America about the World-War
in Europe, 1t is doubtful If America is
yet awake.
A man who returned from Europe
six months ago. said. The farmers OF
America are feeding to their cattle
today better food than millions OF
people in Germany and Austria have
had at times. These people whose
governments are fighting US are sub
sisting on COW beets and straw bread
All Europe is short.rationed and
hungry.
This is OUR war from now on. What
happens in Europe is Americas deep
est concern. There is not enough food
In the world. Either our soldiers must
skimp their rations or we must skimp
ours: either they must do without
some necessities or we must do with
out some OF our luxuries.
Which shall 1t be?

ment, Chicago University.

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Russia should
be given credit for useful acts of
war; as a result Of the deaths of Am
bassador Won Mirbach and Field Mar
shall Won Eichhorn in the opinion Of
Professor Samuel Harper, of Chicago
university's Russian department. He
made the statement in an interview
today.
TT would be an interesting contribu-
ton If a Russian got the kaiser" he
declared.
Professor Harper continued:
From the confusion of the last few
months in Russia, there seems to be
emerging the countrys constructive
forces that have had to lie low dur
ing the period Of Bolshevism. Re-
ports from Russia are necessarily
meager and there is a tendency to
miss the true trend Of events, because
of the smoke and barrage set UP by
the enemies. The Bolsheviki or the
Germans still control the old estab-
lished telegraph routes from Russia,
via Petrograd and Finland and new
the American public has begun to see
thru the trick and has accepted the
presidents policy to stand by Russia
u Reds Have Run Their Course.
THE Bolsheviki have run their
course and failed. They will return
to the old lines OF agitation and
propaganda. AS constructive thinkers
this type has been discredited in Rus
STA and in other countries. Some of
them have been German agents, the
rest merely fanatics.
when we read that the Czecho-
,Slovaks control Siberia and the Volga
districts, we must understand that
they must have the support Of their
local population, for their army. of
$4,000 poorly equipped men could not
control those vast districts without
popular support.
THE soviets are the most novel and
significant contributions to the Rus
sian revolution and gave the move
ment it's very democratic character.
They probably will be one of the
media thru which the economic as
sistance can be brought to Russia
under the new program. They will
welcome allied assistance from reports
that reach US. 1t will be easy to con-
vince the Russian people of the genu-
ineness of our friendship. 1t might
be pointed out that the anti-Bolsheviki
have never recognized the Brest-
Litovsk treaty and therefore have
never considered themselves at peace
with Germany.

Suppose that instead of telling the
sugar-loving ones that they must get
along with very much less sugar than
usual. the authorities of the Food Ad-
ministratiea had ordered every one,
whether sugar lovers or not, to con-
sumo a greatly increased amount of
sugar? Suppose you had it borne in
upon you that you were doing pa
triot's duty every time you ate more
sugar than you found palatable? Well,
that really would have been verse
than the duty Of doing with less.
Yet in Germany, the civilians actu-
ally have been urged. at various times
in the war, to eat all the sugar they
can. Posted in all public places in
Germany there has been large
poster that was headed with these
"rHE FATHERLAND DEGREES:
That thou eatest no more than is
strictly necessary.
That thou wasteSt nothing.
That thou dost not forget that bread
is q sacred thing.
That thou economizest with butter
That thou drinkest milk and eatest
cheese.
That thou eatest much sugar.
That thou cookest potatoes without
peeling them.
That thou plantest many vegetables
and makest them the basis of nour-
That thou savest for cattle what is
left on the table,"
1t may be assumed that by this
time the sugar supply is so low in Ger
many that this injunction about sugar
would be non-effective. However, the
idea was that, since sugar was ex-
tremely concentrated food and would
sustain life on very meager diet, it
ought to be eaten in as great album
dance as the supply would permit,
Germans. like all habitual consumers
OF more or less alcohol, are not natur-
ally sugar lovers. Sweet drinks are
comparatively unknown there. Candy
is rare dainty. So to have to eat
sugar, and more sugar, must have
been a real hardship, especially at a
time when there was practically no
meat to be had and when the diet was
reduced to the very barest necessities.
So it might have been worse. There
is still abundance enough in our land
SO that we need not count the calories
so closely. A reduced sugar ration
has been known to reduce headaches
and other bodily discomforts. You
will fare better without an abundance
of it SO long as you have enough other
food to take its place, and, thanks to
the Food. Administration and to the
bounty signature, we still have a com
parative abundance.

When many of US were young there
hung in one room of the house a ia
nous old engraving called Choosing
the Wedding Gown" 1t was a spic-
tire symbolic of early Americanism. It
told a long story of privation, econo-
my. restrictions and the beginnings of
a Iation. The silk was being carefully
handled by the bride and her follow
ers. and the shopkeeper looked anx-
ious- and considerate. It was a mo-
mentous bargain.
Three generations have laughed at
keeping with the helter-skelter.

to-shop method of buying things that
has governed this country for half a
century. The girl on salary, and
small one at that. fitted like sum-
mer swallow into ready-made shop
and bought her seasons costume after
she had eaten lunch, and just before
she was due at her work.
The rich woman stopped on her way
to card party or concert to give an
order to a dressmaker for a three
hundred dollar gown that was to be
one of many, and she was irritated If
it had to be tried on more that twice.
These methods have been swept
away as tho a great wind had passed
over them and hurled them into the
past like dead leaves. We are shock
ed and aghast as we look back upon
our conduct of yesterday, We choose
a gown today with an eye tor the paEs
and one to the future. We want things
that last, and that can serve for diff
ferent activities and several tempera-
lures.
It is for this new method of buying
that materials are suggested which
can be worn in certain temperatures
without coats, and again with them;
and that can serve for the woman in
the south as well as the woman IN
the north, provided she adds and takes
away other things.

GREATEST OF ALL
America Soon Will Have Most
Effective Navy in World.
For War Purposes in 1921, q.
S. VIII Have 1900 Ships.

washington, Aug. 27.-Data OBJ
tanned today indicate clearly that by
1921, the United States will have the
most effective navy in the world
1t has been generally supposed that
the navy had suspended work on the
great five year construction program
of 1915, which contemplated the ear1i-
est possible commissioning of ten
uper-dreadnaughts and eight battle
cruisers. Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels. however, said today that the pre-
liminary work was in progress not
withstanding the emergency work
which became necessary on other lines
when the United States entered the
war.
The statistics of ship building at the
navy department show that aside from
the capital ship construction, the gov
eminent has building and will have
completed as ships in 1921, 100 ships
available for war purposes. At least
500 of these will be afloat before the
close of the present year.
Second to None.
It was stated today that the pri.
1916 was to make 3 navy second to
none in the world" The war. how
ever, with its forced demands on
American ship building, bids fair to
make the United States navy easily
the first in the world.
five-year period of completion. That
was narrowed down to three years,
but the rush work on torpedo destroy
ers and submarine chasers has DEM
cnstrated to the experts that with the
war well out of the way in 1921, it will
be possible with all the labor and ma
teria1 at hand to complete the whole
program and more il necessary by
1921. That program called for ten
Eattleships of the most approved and
modern type with g certain caliber
gun; eight battle cruisers (the first of
that type to be built by the United
States); fifty destroyers and about
eighty submarines. The destroyers'
program was not suspended but ac-
CELEBRATED. Actu i figures are per-.
missib1e. but the torpedo construction
has increased enormously because of
the concentration on that type. This
was adopted as the prime essential
type Just as soon as the United States
saw that the submarine menace was
the first thing to be removed.
Germany Out of Way.
All naval officers believe the Ger
nan grand fleet will be removed even
fer purposes of comparison after the
war Before 1914 EnglarI was cas-
lily first, Germany second and the
L tied sites third. The prediction
now as to the place the United States
will fill in the naval history of the
world is, say the authorities, certain
to be realized.

BELIEVE HUNS MUST RETIRE
British Military Writers Believe Re-
treat VIII Soon Be Necessary

London, August 27.-While con-
tinuing a necessary attitude of reserve
regarding ultimate possibilities of the
allies maintaining their present rate
of progress, military writers anticipate
the Germans will very soon abandon
the whole territory east of their line
as now constituted as far as the line
Of Scissors, La Fere, st. Quentin and
Cambria in order to prevent an ire
parable disaster on the present battle
ground. The Anglo-French pinchers
are now gripping the boche from
slightly south of Noyon to Just north
of Bapaume. while the allies artillery
is effectively dominating the boche
road and rail communications.
The north jaw of the pincher just
now is the more active, but the French
probably will soon renew their crash
ing pressure to the south.
