In an announcement by the Food Ad

In an announcement by the Food Ad7
ministration the cause for advance in
rice prices is attributed to the fact
that most rice mills have been running
to full capacity in order to supply the
demand for 100000 bags for Amer
ioan and allied fighting forces. As a
result the normal supply for home con-
sumption has been temporarily re-
duced. Lower prices are forecasted.

Mr.. Hurley's Statement.

Mr.. Hurley made speech in New York last
night that will explain away many OF the miscon-
ceptions regarding the work begun, accomplished,
and to be completed under the auspices of the
Shipping Board.
Mr.. Hurley's figures are extremely interesting
and most encouraging 1t will be readily admitted
that more has been done and is being done than
the public had hitherto been informed about .
Mr.. Wilson, when president of Princeton, and
writing of the functions of government, urged
publicity of all acts as of the greatest safe
guards from harmful criticism. In word the
present President of the United States saw that
the one thing to do was to give the public the
facts. We believe that President Wilson believes
he has given the people all the facts necessary
Mr.. Hurley on the other hand, last evening,
presented facts which given to the public prior to
this time would have diverted much hostile criti-
csm We submit that this aversion to taking the
public into his confidence bad business on
Mr.. Hurley's part.
Our friends on the Pacific Coast will not get
much encouragement from Mr.. Hurlcys statement.
The shortages complained OF is east OF the
Mississippi II wooden ships can be built on the
Pacific, would it not be the part OF wisdom to en-
courage the building there OF the machinery neces-
sary to equip them?
More than 100000 feet of Douglas 6r timber
has been shipped East and South from the Pacific
Northwest Why transport the wooden ships by
rail? Why not the timber at its source?
The greatest need just is for boats Of
large tonnage. Yet the Shipping Board,
informed, is disposed to grant to Western builders
contracts for small craft only, and these for for
cgn governments.
Mr.. Hurley has been frank and he has cleared
away the mists that enveloped his program.
Now let everybody get to work and produce
ships and more ships and ships

Cooperation.

For a few days The Herald has carried at the
head OF this column timely utterance by Herbert
Hoover, and a correspondent, living up to his sig
nature, "Frad Cat" takes to task for using
space for this alleged bromide"
We have little patience with the moral weak
ling who is anonymous scold, and still less for
the erudite critic whose grievance is personal as
in this case; but the person who writes us on yell
low paper needs Hooverizing.
We have the utmost respect for Mr.. Hooker,
and somehow this attachment is strengthened by
the calibre of his enemies. Without excusing his
mistakes, let look the tremendous task he set
himself to do. He knew he would meet opposition
and jealousies and misunderstanding. He knew
that his motives would be misconstrued and his
utterances distorted. He knew that even Lincoln
was assailed by the cads OF his day-and knowing
all these things he undertook the task OF saving
the world-in far supplying food to the peo-
pies thereof would save it.
Then our friend OF the saffron streak nvokes the
aid OF booklet OF popular phrases and urges their
at the top of this column. The only one that
appeals to us should appeal to him. 1t is not by
Mr.. Hoover, but by ancient friend Marcus
Aurelius. He said: 1--WE are made for cooperation,
like feet like hands, like eyeIids like the rows Of
the upper and lower teeth" We suggest that
this is Mr. Hoover's thought, and it would be more
scemly ii we helped rather than hindered him
Mr.. Hoover never hoped to please every ybody
and least OF all such those who inspired our cor
respondent to a act

Desk Warriors Again.

We had call yesterday from clean-cut young
soldier who took exception to articles on the
uniformed bomb-proof warriors. He said he was
in Texas when the United States entered the war
and promptly enlisted for service. He was as
signed to the cavalry and remained there until or
dered to report in Washington. He admitted that
he would rather be in France, but "a soldiers
duty is to obey" he said We could gainsay
this
The young man very much in earnest, and
a fine outstanding Texan is one of the nations
greatest products-but this uniformed soldier
wholly misjudges the point of our criticism and
feels that he has been personally affronted by our
attempt to weed out the incompetents. We cannot
accept his reasoning, approve of his conclu-
sons for the that they are at variance with
the printed words.
Why should this young man, doing his duty
assigned by his government to a service it feels
he is best adapted to ll feel that he is being sg-
matized desk warrior because we say and
reiterate that there thousands of mis6ts in the
government who there because they had in
fluence and not because of proved ability.
Why be sensitive and silly at the same time by
taking to themselves obloquy that does not fit
and that not placed their shoulders. Why
not face the proposition manfully and help us to
weed out the incompetents.

Destroy their ideal-they win quit This is Teuton

But it is political gun at best While we hear
of its being-we have heard Of no damage, not
even to the peace of mind of our French brothers
Nor will there be material damage, the military

France, there had best be care of the boomerang

The Waterloo of the World.
The crisis is at hand.

The crisis is at hand.
1t would be futile to discount to a single de-
gree the gravity OF the situation which the world
faces today. 1t is the supreme test OF individuals
peoples and empires The universe is rocking
with the surging forces OF will, brain and Drawn.
The time is past for regrets. 1t is inapropos to
torture brains with thoughts that easily recur
Thoughts that damn those who have hindered for
a second the course OF American preparedness;
thoughts of politicians who have in their petty
scope OF reasoning placed party before country;
thoughts OF the inefficiency that has so surely
shown itself in the workings OF the American
war machine; thoughts, regretfuI thoughts, of the
two years delay which permitted before plac-
ing shoulder to the wheel that will urge the
chariot OF freedom on to frution.
We in the present Perhaps some day we
will go back and think again OF those things but
today, ours is to win the 1t is written in
blazing letters today that we must win. We must
take the world the top of German dominance
and ambition.
As a military power the foeman is worthy of
steel Today read of his latest accom-
plishment. He has plunged ahead over a fifty
mile front despite the fact that the sturdy Britons
prepared and that the enemy's onslaught
expected. He has done this-a feat which the
allies have not yet in these three years of con-
Aict been able to do. But he is not invincible.
He lacks that greatest adjunct of all might
Right. And lacking right he is going to crumble.
Slowly perhaps. but surely as the sun continues
TO rise daily.
The aspect is a serious and VIC will treat
it in all seriousness But there is no defeat OF our
allies yet. What has happened was to be ex-
pected When the German war lord massed
million men and plunged them regardless of their
personal safety into a narrow cauldron of
death, crowdng them forward faster than they
could be moved down, it was inevitable that their
forces should be in the measure irresistible. But
likewise does the defense of our allies take ND
the virtures OF the immovable body. They have
backed temporarily but they will stand They
must stand
They shall stand until they are backed BY the
Stonewsll of American determination and armed
forces.
The Hun has cannily brought to the fore as the
psychological surprise of his present drive a
76-mile gun He is shelling Paris Throughout his
cnpire his people are being told that at last the
dream OF the HohenzolIern's is about to material
ize.
Paris itself is feeling the mailed fist OF Prus-
