IMAGINATIVE ALARM.

Just why didn't you want this
statement given out when you later
gave interviews stating it was desir-
able to create an imaginative alarm
to aid saving?" asked Lodge.
Il didn't want to create this imagi-
native alarm with regard to a hypo-
thetical condition which might occur
with regard to sugar" replied Hoover.
Il did want to create it with regard to
the whole food situation, so the peo-
Pile would conserve all f9pds."
Lodge quoted from interviews with
Hoover and speech he delivered at
Brown university, to prove that Hoov-
cr fostered the country's alarm over
the sugar situation by repeating that a
world shortage was imminent.

CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES.
Lodge opened up on high prices at
the outset.
Tremendous increase in the per
capita circulation of money was one
cause, in my opinion" said Hoover.
This circulation advanced 50 per cap
ita in the United States in one year,
due to the gold inflow.
Another was the sudden with
drawal of millions of men from pro-
ductive work to fight. They at once
became consumers entirely"
The first clash of the hearing came
when Lodge sought to go into Hoover's
testimony last May before the
senate agriculture committee.
Hoover didn't want to discuss this
testimony.
1T was given In executive session."

Hoover said that when he found
there had been a leak" from the com

against the making public of portions

A HELPFUL LETTER


Dear Mrs Thomas The household
columns of The Semi-We ekly journal
have proven a source of both pleasure
and benefit to me.
l especially enjoy the chicken chats. -

me very much, yet l accept and practice

times, and should necessity demand, be
ready to display the heroism and sacri-
fee that so nobly characterized oul
grandmothers during the Civil war.
At this time we have a new opportun-

their meal is a wheatless one, why their

Cholera Ravages

In the wear. 1885, Spain was sorely
afflicted with cholera. The four months
ending in July of that year, the num-
Der of cases were put at $4,000; number
of deaths, over $4,000. The squalld
homes of the lower order made a
fostering place for cholera. l recall the
fact that the United States was very
uneasy lest the Scourge shouid De
brought over to US.
We hear but little of cholera in these
latter days, for sanitation has had d
wide and fruitful field in dealing with
the dread scourge-and with fine re-
suits.
Asiatic cholera has been frequently
brought over to America in early years,
and | remember there was time when
New York and Philadelphia were sorely
afflicted Within thirty or forty years
there was a serious alarm in Nashville,
Tenn Refugees came to our part of
northwest Georgia, fleeing in haste. A
genuine attack of Asiatic cholera closes
IN its work within a few brief hours.
In my younger days, great numbers
of children died with "cholera-lntan>
tum," and it killed quickly. Doubtless
impure milk had much to do with the
fatality among young children.
In a severe case of cholera-lntantum,
the vomiting and purging were inces-

it. and there were white circles around

soCIALIsTIC SPEAKERS.

\ friend Of mine is visiting in Balti-
more. Mr. \ very notable speaker for
socialism occupied a large theater last
Sunday afternoon. 1t was crowded to
the doors
Owing to the overcrowding, this friend
attended a smaller meeting. in the even
ing. The most radical doctrines of the
Socialists were set forth, the division
of lands and money-foretold in the near
future-as the inevitable result of pres
ent war conditions. 1t was largely a
Russian assembly. here in the very
heart of the United States, Nobody
proposed to call a halt on this rabid
propaganda, and the idea seemed to DE
to make me rich men support the war;
and the poor man to get all he wanted n
the early division OF lands and money.
1t is plain to be seen that American
enthusiasm will not reach high tide
under such leadership-so boldly assert
ed in the open speaking places OF a
great and populous city. II is the So
cialist doctrines that makes the war
situation so difficult to understand in
Europe | am inclined to think that
Russia has been overthrow by these
broad-speakins propagandists, and while
the Germon emperor is taking advantage
of Russia's restless population, he fully
understands that Germany and Austria
have tens of thousands of working men
and peasants who are ardcntly in love
with this propaganda of dividing out
lands and money-regardless as TO own
ership.
1t is a blade that can cut two ways
i'm the rear as we'll as the front. There
are perhaps millions on the continent 81
Europe who are filled to overlooking
with these doctrines-in the raw. livery
warning country has its sociallsts-and
when the tide gets to Towing freely the
raidicals-become anarchists.
1t seems probable, just now, that Rus
sia will swim in human blood-before or

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The Russian de-
nouement may result in the most pro-
found effect upon allied diplomacy.
If, as. anticipated Germany is salts

able proposal for the settlement OF Is
sues on the other fronts, there is the
best ground for believing such an offer
would not be spurned.
The governments attitude reflect Is
Premier Lloyd-Georges speech wherein
he declared that Russia's fate must be
decided by Russia alone.
If Germany will now concede the JUS
tice of the allies claims elsewhere,
peace is possible.
curious phase of the situation is
the general opinion in high quarters that
President Wilson and America would
oppose such a peace, being unwilling to
accept a settlement at Russia's expense.
Outside of government circles, it is
freely alleged that negotiations are al
ready being carried on. The report IS
that General SHUTS visited Switzerland
for the purpose of meeting Premier
Czernin. or the Iatter's representatives.
1t is generally credited, although there
is not the slightest official confirmation

Should the government move definitely
towards peace it would find itself unex-

support of a large element now openly
demanding a change OF government.
