PIsyina With Fire.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
As generous viCtors the Republican
National leaders will not be offended
If certain important Developments OF
the recent political contss,s are
brought to their attention and the OBJ
servations made that fire is being
played with Reports from Ohio and
Indiana districts support the state
ment that a heavy agrarian vote was
cast against the party in power be-
cause the price Of wheat was curtailed
by Governmental decree.
In meeting the protest of the farm
ers the Administration asserted that
to permit price higher than s2.2o a
bushel would mean the increase in
turn of the price of the bread loaf to
hundreds of millions of consumers, not
alone in the United States but In
England and France.
The question is asked in all serious
ness if the new majority in Congress
proposes to accede to this expressed
demand and remove all restrictions
from the price of grains. Il will not
fulfill expectations to reply that the
marketing OF cotton has not been reg
ulated. There should be an early re-
ply to this query.
Another important matter is the con

elared that every disoyal vote in

The political complexion of Cong
ress was changed by the vote OF pro-
Germans, traitors to the United States.
This has been shown since the cleo
fios. In almost every district where
q change was made it was Done by
these disloyal vultures. This is not a
partisan statement. It is a cold fact
which cause loyal Republicans and
loyal Democrats to join hands for pro-
tection of America. The Germans in
Germany are licked but not the Ger
mans in America. They must be
brought to their knees, or better still,
expelled from the United States. At
the recent election the Germans in a
st. Louis district carried their re-
sentiment so far as to elect a negro to
the Legislature over white man, be-
cause the latter was an enthusiastic
American. Could we have any strong

hurrah for Hoover

New York, Nov l6.-The American
people will not have to deprive them
selves of mouthful of food to feed
Germany Herbert Hoover, federal
food administrator declared here to-
day before sailing for Europe to hold
a series of conferences on world food
supply with allied and neutral food
officials
I'VE are not worrying about Germa-
NY" said Hoover she can take care
of herself What we are worrying
about is the little allies who have
been under the German yoke They
are faced by famine. We must give
them help and lose no time in doing
So"
Administrator Hoover declared that
Germany was not faced by starvation
and that as soon as the water limit
blockade was relaxed she could get
all the food that is needed.
"Our only interest in Germany is to
get together on table basis SO she
can pay the money she owes to France
and Belgium" said Hoover.
unless anarchy can be put down
and stability of government can be
obtained in these enemy states there
will be nobody to make peace with,
and nobody to pay the bill to France
and Belgium for the fearful destruc-
ton that has been done. l would GER
GAinly approach this with mixed feel
ings having been long a witness to
the robbery of food from women and
children and the destruction of mil
lions of tons of food at sea and to the
misery under which the millions
amongst the biggest of the allies have
suffered under the German yoke. jus
itice requires that government be es-
tablished that is able to make up fol
wrongs done, and it cannot be accom-
piisheG through the spread of anarchy
Famine is the mother of anarchy"
The above statement from Mr.
Hoover no doubt expresses the senti-
ments of every true American. i

BERLIN COMMENTS ON
BAKERS STATEMENT
German Newspaper Says that
America Cannot Put Large
Army Into Europe.

LONDON. Jan. iS--ComnentinE
upon the statement mado by secre-
tary OF War Baker before congress
sinai committee regarding war prepa-
rations. the semi-official Nurd
Deutsche Allgemeine zeitung OF Ber-
lin says: q
The American secretary or war
speaks Of An American army in
France. There is an American army
II France, but 1t consists entirely of
woodcutters, railway men and doctors,
except two or three divisions. whose
precious lives are being spared in
quiet places far behind the front.
Mr.. Baker speaks az IL shortly
there would be 100000 Americans
in France. Can the United states
spare such large number OF men
The answer Is no, because a large part
OF the army must remain behind for
the protection OF the frontiers, the
COASTS. the colonies and for other
duties Of political nature.
The political situation compels the
United States 90 keep at home ,+the
greater pEaportion OF It's army. and
the country tan at the most put only
400. 900 or 10000 men into the Eu-
fopcan battlefields."
For the transfer OF even this num-
ber, 100000 tons of shipping will
bee required, necessitatlng $50 Jour
neys OF steamers OF $500 tons Thu
an army OF even this small size can
not possibly be made available before
the summer OF 1918
In the decision on the western
front this spring American participa-
tlon can effect no change Tho whole
speech OF the American secretary of
war is a gigantic American bluff"
