Belgium for preserving the lives OF
millions of her citizens.
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 W food problem If 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
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already in the
throes Of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility of

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
eve in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear oil the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
Of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.

Again the war has made its con-

the American entrance into the

so rapidly that women teachers, in
very considerable numbers, left

The Underpaid Women Teachers

Probably there have been few
among these hundreds Of thou
sands Of women who have con-
sciously preferred not to marry
and become mothers. And it is
appalling to think Of the splendid
mothers that an absurd convention
has thus lost to the world.
Women have been content to re-
tain the maternal monopoly and
have also been strangely com
placent about the small salaries Of
women teachers. They have SEEM
ed to think that teachers ought to
bel willing to accept part Of their
compensation In the privilege Of
contact with the little darlings
they have sent them
And yet how unreasonably much
these mothers have demanded! It
is a commonplace that children
are sent to school to get them out
of the way-to be put in charge Of
q super-nurse who is supposed not
only to educate the children, but
To foster their separate talents and
have Infinitely more patience with
their idiosyncrasies than the moth
ers themselves.
It is a situation full Of ironies
and one that we have only begun
to remedy by starting adequate
compensation and the tardy re-
dress Of the Married Teachers

HEARD AND SEEN

When clerks come to Washington
70 work for the Government, thy
are told that they win get thirty
days annual leave, sick leave, holt
days, etc. Now, when the Govern
ment is busy, can't get enough
clerks, and can't keep what they
have, and it is necessary for the
clerks to take no leave, why can't
the Government pay them for the
leave they are deprived Cd! They
have been promised the time on,
and II the Government profits and
saves money by their inability to
leave, they should be paid for the
time.
What il probably news to most
people Is. the fact that while all
other departments Of the Govern
ment, including the War and Navy
Departments, the Navy Yard, the
Bureau of Engraving, and the war
Risk Bureau, have been getting the
Saturday half holidays, the Govern
ment Printing Office stands alone
in depriving its employees OF TINS
holiday. Last year they were jock
eyed out Of one half holiday, and
this year they have lost four up to
date. Is there q reason!
Tha Government works overtime
irving to get clerks to Washington,
and the profteers chase them night
away again. The railroads get
their fares, anyway.
The War Labor Board IN some
cases has urged q Scent fare on
street railway lines, but the local
lines cannot claim that the wages
of their employees are q burden, ex-
eept to the employees.

SHOULD SALUTE THE FLAG
Virginian Who Has Lived Abroad Urges Reverence for the Emblem
 of the Country.

"Why does the average American not salute the flag?" asked R. O. Out cault, a virginian who has lived abroad for the last ten years, according to the Washington Post.
 "On the day of the draft parade In Washington the only man saw salut- ing the regimental colors was police man, probably an old soldier who has learned the love and reverence which every man who has served feels for the flag. When I and the friend with me-a BrltIsher-bared our heads every time the flag of a regiment went past a few persons in the crowd be- gan, somewhat shamefacedly, to fol- low our example.
 "In London or in Paris you would have no choice. Any man who kept his hat on when the colors of regi- ment passed would have 1t knocked oft for him, if nothing worse happened to him, I do not mean, of course, that one should salute the thousand and one flags carried in such procession but every one should at least bare his head when a reglmental flag goes past That's what thousands of men are go= ing to die for before we are twelve months older. The least one can do IS to salute it while we caR before II goes somewhere in France"

UNKNOWN LAKES AND RIVERS
Interior of Labrador Found to Possess Many Unnnapped Bodies Of Water
 and Streams.

Chains of lakes hitherto unmapped and rivers equally unknown were tra- versed In the Interior of Labrador by the exploring parties of representa- lives of the National Geographic soci- ety and the Carnegie museum, Pttts- hurgh, which arrived at St. Johns, N. F. recently. says a correspondent. The journey covered about 4oO miles over n route never before travelled Dy white men and was made more difficult by the fact that the five Indians whO were taken along as guides proved to be unfamiliar with the country.
 The party included E. B. c. Todd curator of ornitholOgy in the Carnegie museum; O. ]. Nitric, curator of man. mals in the same institution, and AL fred Marshall of Chicago.
 They left Seven Islands bay on the north side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. about the end of May and travelled north by canoe and portages, reach ing Fort Chino, near Urgava bay, Au- gust 2. Tn addition to mapping the country. they studied It's natural hls' tory.
 Mir. Todd said the existing maps Of a large district were found to be very inaccurate and altogether misleading having been made by guesswork rom information supplied by Indians
