CART POTATOES FROM THE FARM
 IN YOUR AUTOS

Not freight car necessarily, but mo- tor car. When you drive into the country-you who live in potato sec tions-bring back a sack or two in your car. Then eat them, many ways, every day. several times a day. Not an idea that will save the country, but it will help save the big food re- serve that will soon begin to sprout if it isn't eaten.
 Let this fact sink in deep: Unless we increase our consumption of po- tatoes markedly within the next few weeks, says the Department of Agri- culture, there will be a loss of much wheat-replacing food. If that hap pens, farmers may think we don't want so many potatoes and not grow enough this year. Americans ought not to allow that sort of food disas- ter to occur.

GERMANS DRAIN
 POLAND LABOR

Zurich, April 30-According to the Leizsiger Volkestimme, Germany, dur ing the past three years having drain ed the labor resources or Poland all most to the point of complete exhaus- tion, is now turning her attention to the occupied territories of Russia where German troops have already begun to transport men to Germany. The Germans also hoped to obtain skilled workers from the densely populated Ukraina.
 Polish laborers on estates in Sax ony are treated like modern slaves; their wages are extremely low, which tends to keep down the rate of pay for farm work and to increase the war profit of agrarians.

eLApsToNE's PROPHECY.

In his diary of September, 1870, vii.
liam E. Gladstone, then premier of
England. records his failure to con.
vince either his colleagues or the Of
ficials of other European countries of
the expediency Of his proposal to or
ganize a protest Of all the neutral pow.
ers against what he called the "throt.
Ting" of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany.
In letter to confidante he wrote:
My opinion certainly is that the
transfer of territory and inhabi-
tants by mere force calls for the
reprobation of Europe.
On another occasion the premier
predicted that if Germany should be
permitted to take the provinces from
France without any voice previously
raised against it it will be a standing
reproach to England
In still another letter he declared
that the violation of the rights of
peoples" would have lasting per.
nicious effect on the international re-
lations of Europe"
Alsace-Lorraine is one of the major
considerations whenever the question
of peace is discussed. AS Gladstone
foresaw, it has come to symbolic the
world of difference between Germany's
viewpoint and that which is shared by
the numerous nations at war against
PruSsianism.

SENATORIAL SANITY.
CFrom Wednesdays DailyD


II was somewhat refreshing and re-
assuring to read Senator Wadsworth $
address yesterday in which he argued
for the creation Of war cabinet and
a ministry of munitions. After having
been treated to Senator Stones ravlns
TRADE. Senator Chamberlain's harsh
attack, Senator Hitchcock's detailed
indictment and Senator Williams eff
fort to make noise suffice where
logic was lacking, the average Amer'-
cans conception of senatorial sanity
was justified by Senator Wadsworth's
unimpassioned speech directed to the
merits of proposed legislation.
Without criticising President VIII
son. Secretary Baker or anybody else,
Senator Wadsworth argued convin'
cingly for Capitalization of war max
ing agencies and efforts as opposed To
the lack Of coordination which is un-
ayoidable under the system in vogue
for years.
Mr.. Wadsworth specifically men
toned the president, but only to cite
the obvious fact that no single man
could perform the duties which the
