SHOTGUNS AND GERMANS.

One OF the many grievances against
Americans that the Germans have de-
veloped lately is based on the report
ed use of sawed-off shotguns by our
troops
There doesn't seem to be an official
army is using this weapon or not; but
il is certainly conceivable that an alb
breviated double-barreled shotgun
might do valiant execution in short
range trench shooting. The German
Indignation, in fact. seems TO be due
to this very effectiveness.
Ii is a barbarous implement, our
Hun critics say, which no honorable
fighters" would think of using. 1t is
a weapon for barbarians.
This characteristic Teutonic bleat is
intended to show us Enthusiastically
where we get off" i'm the lSultured
opinion OF Central Europe But we
refuse to be impressed. Try as We
may, we cannot figure out why shot
gun should be any worse than poison
gas, liquid fire, aerial torpedoes and
other ingenious innovations made by
the gentle Germans in this war.
We cannot even see that load of
buckshot fired at 10 yards is any worse
than shrapnel shell fired at 1000
yards. The ingredients are about the
same, and meant for the same purpose
Certainly if shotguns will kill Huns
with greater effectiveness than any of
the more conventional weapons used
in the battle zone, we are for them.
We are accustomed, anyway, to using
buckshot for beasts and burglars.

THE FOOD SITUATION.

Herbert Hoover, who has now taken
up headquarters in London as food ad
ministrator for all the Allies. says:
we have turned the corner at last.
During the past twelve months the
United States has exported 10000, 900
tons OF food TO the Allies. During the
next twelve months we can export 81
900, 900 tons, Including 100000 tons
from Canada"
Thanks TO the enterprise OF our
farmers and stock -raisers and the
economy of our consumers, we have
the food Thanks 10 the energy OF
our shipbuilders. we have the ships.
There is enough shipping now to sup
ply the soldiers. There will soon be
enough TO transport everything our
civilian allies need. The U-boat is no
longer a menace.
In contrast with this fine outlook,
says Mr. Hoover. hunger is the dom
mating fact with the enemy. Their
loss OF lives through malnutrition this
year will be larger than all the casual
ties of the western front"
There is no doubt of It. The food
situation in the Central Empires is
growing desperate. The German meat
ration is being reduced to six ounces
week In the cities, and that quantity
is uncertain. The potato allowance is
only one pound a week. Berliners are
getting one egg each per month.
There is not enough food in Roumania
TO feed the natives. The Ukrainians
have raised only enough for their own
needs. In none of the provinces over
run by German is there any help. Ger
man crops are tragically small, owing
to drouth and frost Austria-IIungary
cannot feed herself
The food situation is better even
than the military situation. Nature,
so long neutral, at last has joined the
Allies

A BUSHEL MEANS A SOLDIER

Do y@I know that every bushel of
wheat now saved means the support of
soldier on the battle line until the
next harvest can be gathered, milled
and shipped? AS no soldier can live
without food, every bushel of wheat is
the actual equivalent of a lighting
unit The moral is clear. We must
supply soldiers. But it is useless to
supply the fighters themselves unless
we can also supply the wherewithal
upon which the soldier lives. The
number of men we can put in the field
is in direct relation to the number of
men we can feed in the field Will
you support a soldier until the next

Discovery by an American chemist
of a substitute for platinum has eli
minated the necessity for that metal

factories, IL was learned today. Details
Of the discovery are guarded with the

ant advances in connection with the
war and as virtually solving the prob

Government has faced for several

The discovery of the substitute

This campaign will not be aband-
oned until ample tests have been made
with the substitute.

WANTS A CANAL FROM
NEW YORK TO NORFOLK

An inland waterway from New York
TO Norfolk, which would use the
Chesapeake Bay for one link and
therefore pass Annapolis, is urged by
Secretary Redfield in a letter to the
Board Of Rivers and Harbors Engi-
neers, which is considering the adj
visibility of the government purchase
of the Cape Cod canal.
In the last 10 years, Mr.. Redfield
wrote. III lives and property valued
at $4.000,000 have been lost by rea-
son of storms wrecking coastwise
shipping. He added that the inside
route would protect shipping from
submarines.
Copies of the letter were sent to
Senator Salisbury, who recently in
troduced a resolution calling on the
Secretary for information as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of buying the Cape Cod,
Chesapeake and Delaware, and Rari-
tan canals. The Secretary said he had
not progressed far enough with his in
vestigation regarding the canals to adj
wise regarding their purchase.
