cIemeneeau's Way.

M. Clemenceau, in his capacity of
minister for war, is setting his house
in order. No matter in hand of less
than first-rate importance-and then
he deals with it himself-is to take
more than three days to settle. 1t is.
not reform, it is a revolution, is
the remark of those who have experi-
enced the circumlocutions, delays and
red tape Of Oficialdom. mo longer is
the head Of department to ask for
written reports from his subordinates,
on Insignificant questions, when few
minutes conversation would settle the
whole question. No longer is pen to.
be put to paper, and stacks of docu--
ments collected, when simple tele-
phone call would suffice" And as
final proof that the order is gritfe du
Tigre, the Tigers own mark, it may
be added that departments are to be
subjected to supervision when least
expected, and that disregard for the
three-days' rule will result in severe
penalties for the persons concerned

How He Got His Uniform

He was recruit in an aviation camu
In Texas. Uniforms were short there.
and many were forced to wear civilian
clothes. One young man, who was es-
pecially resourceful, was missing from
inspection one morning.
where's Blank?" asked the lieuten-
ant.
In his tent, SIR" replied friend.
HE has no clothes"
The lieutenant made haste to get to
the tent.
What are you doing here without
your clothes?" he shouted.
Il borrowed the clothes wore down
here from friend and promised to re-
turn them. Last night l boxed them
up and sent them by express to his
home"
Needless to say the lieutenant soon
dug up" uniform for the recruit.

The Paris Association of Chocolate

Capturinu GorllIas.

1t Is said that no gorilla has ever
been captured alive after he Is full
grown. Gorillas fear nothing. Even
when MORALLY wounded they show ar
agility, strength and ferecity which Is
astonishing. A traveller stated that II
would take $50 men to hold down q
gorilla with any degree Of safety. Or
the other hand, all other apes are easy
to capture. The usual method Is for
a trapper to seat himself where he h
certain to be observed by these crea-
lures and pretend to drink from a bot
tie of crude spirits. When he is sure
that he has been observed. he leaves
the bottle and goes away. The mo
ment his back Is turned the monkeys
rush to appease their curiosity con
corning the contents of the bottle
They like the taste Of the spirits ani
quarrel among themselves for 1t tn
the bottle has been emptied. They arc
soon overcome by the intoxicant, ant
the trapper returns and gathers them
up.

"His excellency," said the Tartar,

And as the men of my tribe saw that

first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri-
cans because there Is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem II she Is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England. France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same Is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia Is already In the

gIons, with conditions most serious In

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering q heavy
toll OF death. The Armenian popula-
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes Its toll, and In Greece. Albania
and Roumanla 80 serious are the food
shortages that famine Is near. AL
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious Etrin-
gencles.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export
every ton OF food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum OF 10000, 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11.S20,0O0 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the blnck spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of
Europe repetition Of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.
