The summer season and fall will bring some relief, but the war will not be over before another winter
 fondly as the people of Germany may bring themselves to hope that it will. Another hungry season is coming, and it threatens to be even hungrier than the one that is going. America is going about it's gigantic task of feeding it's allies gith a big ness of plan that is worthy of the nation. With these conditions in Germany. our food administrator s slogan, Food will win the war, save it." takes on a greater significance. We must all help fight this part of the battle.-Waterbury Republican.

Vague rumors have been coming from Germany of the death of Hinden- burg. of his serious illness with ty- phoid and of the prevalence of this disease throughout the German armies, of General Mackensen's promotion to the direction of affairs on the western front, and of the absolute necessity of winning a brilliant victory if inter nal disaster is to be stayed off in Ger many and Austria. German papers complain bitterly that of 100000 tons of food promised from the Ukraine only 1000 have reached Germany ow- ing to difficulties in transportation. Recently the meat ration was reduced from nine ounces apiece weekly to five and a half ounces, and on June IT the present daily bread allowance of eight and half ounces is to be cut in half. Placards throughout the cit ies are urging the people to go bare foot this summer rich and poor alike, in view of the alarming scarcity of leather Monuments and bronzes are following the church bells to the melt ing pot, and the latest order calls for even doorknobs and sashlifts to supply the necessary metal for munitions. Germany is far from defeat even now but the final outcome is no longer in doubt.

FACTS AND COMMENT

Three important moves in railway management have recently been made by Director General McAdoo. First the roads are to be permitted to spend narly a billion dollars for additions, betterments and equipment, not a dol lar more than is needed, yet three times as much as they have been able to spend from their own resources in any one of the last three years. Part of this vast sum will be secured by the roads themselves by the issue of securities. sand part will be supplied by the government from the revolving fund of a half billion. In the absorp- tion of the securities of government itself may assist by directly purchas- ing them, while the revolving fund was put at the disposal of the director general to be used at his discretion in any emergency that might arise in the management of the huge business of transportation. Advances from this fund will doubtless have to be ulti- mately repaid by the railroads &C., centing assistance. It was from this fund that the New Haven was recent Ivy enabled to refund at a lower in- terest rate the $4S,0O0,O00 short time notes that matured this month.

Fifty-three American soldiers lost their lives when the British transport Moldavia was torpedoed Thursday morning before, daybreak when almost within sight of her destination The escorting destroyers dashed up and dropped several depth charges in the quarter whence the torpedo came, but no submarine was seen at any time. Perfect discipline prevailed as the men went to their stations. For a while the wounded vessel continued on her course, but when it was seen that she was sinking, all on board took to the boats and were landed by the destToyers at nearby ports. Most of those who lost their lives were doubt less killed in their berths by the force of the explosion.
 The Moldavia was one of the fam ous P. & o. fleet that used to sail between England and India via the Suez Canal. Most of her sister ships have already preceded her to watery grave during four years of submarine activity This is the third transport to be lost while carrying American troops. The first was the Antilles, sunk last October immediately after leaving France On her return trip and
 therefore carrying but few soldiers. In February of the present year the Tuscania was torpedoed off the Irish coast, and Of 2000 American troops aboard over 200 were lost This dis aster at the time loomed large, but as ship after ship safely lands its quota on the shores of France or England, the gratifying fact stands out that scarcely one in 20O0 of our soldiers has been lost at sea. Even this ele- ment of danger, slight as it now is. is daily decreasing. No surer proof of this could be sought than the fact that the rate of marine insurance in the submarine zone has been cut in two

The second of Mir. McAdeo's far

freaehInq orders was the adoption Of
 the report of the railway wage com
 mission granting an increase of pay
 to railway employees that will total
 three and a quarter millions, the in-
 crease to date from Jan. 1 of the cur
 rent year. The eight-hour day is re-
 cognized as the standard and over
 time is to be. paid pro rata. As in
 the case of all Government employees
 negTos will receive the same pay as whites, a condition that has not been followed heretofore particularly by southern railroads. Furthermore wo- men doing the same work as men are to receive the same pay. To iron out the inequalities in the remuneration of two million employees is no small task. Hitherto the engineers. firemen conductors and trainnlen organized as they are in four strong bKotherhoods have gained the lions share of all wage increases, but under the new order the more poorly paid of the employees get the larger increases. To provide the funds necessary a radi l cal increase in both freight and pas senger rates has been announced. The most startling Of the director | generals moves was the removal of participation in the conduct of their l all railroad presidents from active | lines, with the intention of replacing l them with operating heads directly l responsible to him. The position of
 the presidents had been an impossible
 lone, they being chosen by and nomin- ally responsible to their own direc- | tors, yet under the control of the Gov ernment. Freed now from this obliga- i tion of serving two masters, many of these late presidents will be reap pointed by MT. McAdoo to manage 1 their own lines, while others will doubtless be retained by their former l stockholders as financial managers of the properties.

REAL DIAMONDS
ARTIFICIALLY MADE;
ONE ON EXHIBITION

London. May 3. - BY MaiD -
Real diamonds, artiticially made
were exhibited in connection with
the annual MAY lecture before the
British Institute OF Medals. The
speaker, Sir Charles A. Parsons,
who is widely known for his WORK
in developing the turbine engine.
told of experiments which showed
that diamonds exist in iron.
The diamonds displayed were fe"
and small, and it was stated that
they were produced at enormous
cost. Only the resources OF great
engineering works made the experi-
ments possible. However, the lee
turer believed that with the advance
OF chemistry and electrical engineer
ing. il might some day be cheaper
TO make diamonds than dig them.
A method OF making diamonds OF
commercial size and quantity was
suggested by Sir Charles. His plan
was to submit large mass OF IRON
allowed with other elements. to heat.
Alter the molten metal had set, but
when still at a temperature permea-
bic to gas. it should be subjected 10

about 1000 atmospheres. Under this
process, he believed, segregations
formed into diamonds might take
place slowly within the mass.
One source OF diamonds might
be attributed. he said, to prehistoric
falls OF meteors.

the German people-it is no time
for us to sentimentalize in an ele-

until he is no longer dangerous.
"Prussianism is now unmasked :.

the trouble to deny that this is So;
Germany is not ruled by statesmen
bur hy soldiers. We cannot trust 4
single word its statesmen say, but
we can trust what its soldiers do.
And il has become as plain as a
pikestaff that there will be no good
life possible on this planet for those
who love liberty. justice and tair

Evangelist Hopkins has devoted
many wears to a close study OF the
prophecies. and in connection with
the campaign he will show the
meaning OF the social. political, re-
ligious and financial unrest in the
world from a Biblical standpoint.
The lectures on the prophecies
will be OF particular interest and the
important truths found in the books
OF Daniel and Revelation will be ex-
planned. Mr.. Hopkins hopes to
make these OF special educational
value to Bible students and. al the
same time. convince those who may
be in doubt Of the truth OF the
Bible.
Nearly all the lectures will be
illustrated and the public Is invited
to attend. His subject for Thurs

Der OF fighting men already sent
over. IT must be good deal more,
by this time. A congressman an
nounced on the floor OF the house
that 10000 soldiers were transport
ed to Europe during the first ten
DAYS OF May. 1t is reported on good
authority that the total for the
month exceeded 100000 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that
we now have more than 2,0O, ,OoO
men under arms. and that at least
100000 are sufficiently trained tor
foreign service.
1t is expected that the 100000 men
sent in May will be followed by ESQ.,
900 in June. A Washington dis
patch suggests that at that rate
there will be about 100000 in
France by Christmas. All OF them
by the way, will carry their full per
sonal equipment. Their artillery
needs are being supplied largely by
purchases from France and Eng
land. Tothing will be lacking by
the time they go into action.
Thus we already have on the bat
tie front more m:n than German
military authorizes figured we
should be able to send. Obviously
by next spring America will be fac
ing the Germans in sufficient
strength to make war on the scale
demanded in this conflict of nations
and to beat the kaiser at his own
game.
