TO RESTORE PERslA's STATUS
Russian 8oishevlk Authorities An
nounee intention Of Giving II
Its Former Independence. II E-

A little more than ten. years ago, In
1907, Persia ceased to be a sovereign
nation In anything but name and was
resolved into twin spheres of inf1u-
ence." The northern half was a Rus
sian sphere. the southern half British,
The pressure from north and south
grew until 1t forced out the American,
Morgan Shuster. who had come to put
Persia on Its financial feet. -.- ..-...
That was an incident of Imperialism.
1t was a British Russian alliance to
block of Germany from getting int<.
Persia from the west by way of Turkey
and the Berlin-Bagdad line. Under
the Queensberry rules of imperialism
1t was fair stroke, with plenty OF
historical precedent. says the Boston
Globe
Now the foreign minister of a Rus
sian government that has no regard
for Imperialism and It's rules has sent
word to Persia that the 1907 agree
ment is all off. null and void. and that
Russia will now try to relieve her of
Turkish and British troops, too.
In announcing this doctrine Of Per-
STA for the Persians. and putting II
into practice. the Russian bolsheyik
government UNNECESSARILY strength
ened the position 1t took at Brest-Lit-
ovsk and at Petrograd in demanding
liberation for all subject nationalities.
1t is fair to say that the British min.
istry to-day would be slow to apply
the mailed fist of Imperialism as In
Persia in 1907. Much water has flow
ed under the bridges since, and the Inn
perialistic tide is ebbing fast.

ALLIES DEMAND
MORE CEREALS
American Meat Restrictions Re-
Taxed to Effect Geater
Wheat Savings.
ARGENTINE ARRIVALS SHORT.
Meat Supply Here Considerably En-.
Iaroed Food Administration,
However, Warns Against
Waste.

The allies have made further and
Increased demands for breadstuffs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage In arrivals
from the Argentine. 1t is. therefore.
necessary for the U. S. Food Admins
tration to urge a still further reduction
IN the consumption of bread and bread
stuffs generally If we are to meet our
export necessities. The Food Admin
istration has issued statement ex
planning the situation in detail partic-
ularly the reasons which lead it, for
the purpose of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption.
Experience shows, this statement
says, that the consumption of bread
stuffs is Intimately associated with the
consumption of meat For various
reasons our supplies of meat for the
next two or three months are consid
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all of the meat products
possible and at the same time some
what increase our own consumption
In these circumstances the Food AID
ministration considers it wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con.
sumption to some extent with view
to further decreasing bread consump
ton.
Conservation of food must be ad
justed to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
can any of these factors be anticipated
for long periods in advance in the dis
turbed conditions in which we 1T pres,
ent live. While the world situation is
not one that warrants any relaxation
In the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy in food, the Admins
tration desires to secure better adjust
ment in food balances.
So long as the present conditions
continue the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefess and porkless
Tuesday.
The meatless meal and the porkless
Saturday are no longer asked.
The farmers of the United States
are responding to the national call to
increase hog production. Their In
crease, to all appearances, Is being at
tanned more rapidly. OF more imme.
date importance, however, are several
complex factors which have effected
an immediate increase in meat sup
plies.
The transportation shortage before
the government took over the rail
roads, the bad weather in January and
early In February, the large percent
age of immature corn in the last har-
vest and the necessity of feeding this
corn as rapidly as possible to save 1t
from decay, have not only resulted in
backing up the animals-particularly
hogs-oD the farms for a longer pc
riod Of feeding but have resulted in
great increase in their average weight
and will result, with improved trans.
portation conditions, which already ap-
pear, in larger than normal arrivals ar
market for the next two or three
months. The weight Of hogs coming
to the market for the past two weeks
indicates an increase in weight Of

THE MUSK-OX.

II will not be imposed upon," said
the white-fronted Musk-O1.
And to prove that he meant it he
would not have anything to do with
the animals any younger than himself.
"They are so young" he said, 'they
don't know enough to suit me-"
Are you so fond of knowledge"
asked his brother. Miller Musk-Ox.
Il don't like young and silly animals
about me-" said Mr.. Musk-O1. "And
don't intend to put up with it.
don't"
So Mr.. Musk-Ox was quite the ruler
in his parts. His home was in the
northern part of Canada, where the
land was very barren and desolate and
wild.
1t was not long before Mr.. Musk
OK saw a creature he liked very much
indeed, and that was Miss Musk-Ox.
he didn't think she was young, nor
foolish. He thought she was quite
perfect. When he went to see her he
did not boast about his great strength
and how he wanted to rule the land
about. He was different kind of
musk-ox. And brother Miller Musk
Ok watched and was very much
amused.
Miss Musk-Ox was certainly very
handsome. Her hair covered her whole
body. which was quite big, though she
was not nearly so large as Mr.. Musk
OK.
Your hair is lovely" Mr.. Musk OK
said.
And Miss Musk-Ox tried to blush,
for she thought that was the right
thing to do, but she was so brown
and so woolly that she couldn't, some
how, get the color to show, though she
felt as if she must be blushing
YES" continued Mr. Musk-OX, you
have the most wonderful brown hair
have ever seen. It's much lighter
than mine-it's so much softer and it's
so very thick

Musk-OS, in fact. beautiful doesn't

to the nations meat supply. 1t there

can properly increase our domestic
consumption.
The response of the public to our re-
quests for reduced consumption of
meat during the past few months has
been most gratifying, and this service
alone has enabled the government dur
ing this period to provide such sup
plies as transportation to the allies
permitted.

One hears much nowadays about the
growing reunion of the churches which
the war has brought about. But q
dual service which recently took place
Is probably uniu'le. Not far behind
the lines two services were held sim
ultaneously in the village church-the
one being the usual Roman Catholic
service attended by the inhabitants
while the other was Protestant one

in the vicinity. The proceedings open
ed by the singing of a hymn by the
Australians to music supplied by their

AS IN SHAKESPEARE'S TIME
Old Tudor Architecture Of Town Of
Stratford-on-Avon Has Been Won-
derfulIy Restored.

Americans. who in prewar days, de-
lighted in visiting "Shakespeare's
country" would find many changes
there now.
Quietly and unostentatiously through
the unwearying efforts of Marie Cor
ELI. the novelist. and few who sup
port her artistic tastes, these last three
and a half years have disclosed the
ancient mysteries of Stratford. Old
houses. with plastered walls, which
were eyesores to the visitors and resi-
dents alike. have been stripped of their
outward ugliness, to reveal the quaint
picturesque Tudor architecture Of
S'lakespeare's time. Wherever it has
been possible the early appearance Of
the buildings has been restored, and
the effect has been a transformation
and the restoration of the place as
Shakespeare knew it,
The ancient Sword of State" which
hangs In Shakespeare's birthplace was
removed from it's scabbard in August,
1914, as an official notice that England
was at war and the people say tradi-
ton fOrbids them to sheathe the old
sword. carried by Shakespeare's ia
fher when he was high bailiff in 1859.
Intil England is again at peace.
Once at least, since war was de-
clared. ShakeSpeare's old home has
given expression to It's feeling Of graft
tude TO Americans for the tributes they
have been privileged to pay to it from
time to time. That was when the
United States entered the war. Pres
ident Wilson's memorable message TO
the congress was proclaimed aloud.
Many of the tOwnfolk had almost de-
SPARED of the momentous event. and
it appears there were only two Amer
lean flags In Stratford at the time One
was a great banner owned by Miss
Marie Corelli and the other waving
from the house of John Harvard's
mother. Both were promptly hurled
out into the breeze Of the garden spot
of England" and thus America had
again come into the hearts of Shake
speare's people.
