The Huns Abroad and
The PaCifists at Home

NEY, now at the front for the IN. \.
Tribune" to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet a
friend" intrigued against our peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make wal on US, and murdered u
men, women and children, there are
those among us protesting loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat of the boche is as
vital TO us Americans as was the vic
tory Of 1776.
Then we declared for independence /;
now we fight to maintain II.
II Is not merely that we fight in
answer to indignity and material In
Jury done us through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citizens-not merely to uphold
our place among self respecting peo-
ples-that we are ut war but literally
for our self preservation ms a republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen OF
the world.
The world cannot rest In peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples In her blood-dripping hands,
The world cannot live In peace with
a people that commits. or permits her
sponsors to commit In her name, the
foul acts of t~reachery, Of vandalism,
Of b~estiality. Of murder. that have
marked the trail Of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail !; either the German brutal right of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the other-must succumb In this
conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine--then shall we
fall under the domination of q people
that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
.kultur" Of a military oligarchy shall
live.
Prussianism is devoid Of honor,
truth, justice or mercy, as Its acts
have proved. and its defeat is q neces-
sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom Of civilization.
For the safety Of American institu'
lions 1t must be destroyed for the
safety Of American freedom, yours and
mine and of all of us.
We are In the midst of wal, our war
the war Of every freeman, Of ever,
man and woman who does not indorst
cowardly murderous assault upon tho
weak and innocent, brutal injustice
and atrocious acts; and II we woult
preserve the Stars and Stripes and al
hey stand for we must ighttthe Huns
abroad and the pacifsts ut home will
all our strength.

Rome.-The war is costing Italy
$149,OOO,0O0 a month or, In round
numbers, about $5.000,000 a day. In
estimating the cost of the war the ex-
penditure incurred during the ten
months of Italy's neutrality for war
preparations as well as the money
spent during the 33 months of war up
to the end Of last February are taken
into account. The estimate Is only ap-
proximate. because besides the money
actually spent for war expenditure
payments made by the war Office and
the admiralty for extraordinary ex-
penditure due to the war are included
In the calculation.
On the other hand the increased ex-
penditure and the payments made by
other government departments during
the period from August /, 1914, to Feb
ruary %, 1913, are not taken into ac-
count. Only the expenditure Of the
three ministries of war, of the navy
and of munitions is added together in
order to ass.ord an indication of how
much the war Is costing Italy.
Cost Of Warfare Grows.
The total extending owe a period of
two years and nine months when d.
vided into shorter periods reveals that
war expenditure is increasing. Thus,
while during the first quarter of Italy's
Intervention, from June to August,
1915, $97,4OO,O00 were spent every
month, during the last quarter, from
December, 1917. to February. 1918, the
average monthly expenditure increased
to $3.50. 100000, and IL Is therefore cal
culated that at present the war is
costing Italy $10,000,000 a day.
SO far no serious attempt has been
made to improve the food situation In
Italy. which is gradually getting worse.
not SO much on account of acute short
age as to disorganized distribution and
artificial Increase Of prices due to the
speculations of middlemen and to ex-
tensive boarding. Sensational revela-
lions are being made In the local press
about the profits of middlemen espe-
cially in respect to animal food. For
instance, 1t has been ascertained that
the lamb market has been cornered by
middlemen, who are buying lambs at
~ cents q pound and selling them to
retailers at over SLIGO, with the re-
suit that the market prices Of lamb
have risen to almost So a pound.
Prohteers Unchecked.
Strangely enough no action has yet
been taken against the denounced mid
dlemen while boarding is being re-
pressed In a h~alf-hearted way. despite
the fact that all the shops and restau-
rants raided afforded convincing proof
that cheese, fats and foodstuffs Of
every description are being hidden and
sold at fancy prices. A few arrests
have been made, but the measures so
far adopted are inadequate to improve
existing conditions.
A the patience Of citizens is we'll
nigh exhausted, 1t Is feared that popu-
lar dissatisfaction and resentment will
lead to disorders and thus weaken ma
tional resistance at a time when the
situation Is apt to become serious ow-
Ing to an impending offensive on the
Italian front. Radical and energetic
measures are therefore imperative.

HOUSEWIVES FINED FOR Ex-
CEED1NG SUGAR ALLOTMENT

The earnestness of the Food Admin
istration in enforcing the sugar regu-
lations has been evidenced many times
by penalizations of retailers, bakers
and manufacturers. Now it empha-
sizes the necessity for householders
keeping within their allotment of two
pounds per person per month by pun
fishing violators.
Housewives of WatertCwn who ex-
ceeded their allotment for July were
requested to contribute to the Red
Cross dollar pound on every pound
they bought in excess of their allot-
ment. The grocer who was careless
enough to sell them excess amounts
of sugar was also fined on the same
basis.
