 Indirectly, we have gone far on the road toward reasonable equality; it is the direct control that has not sue ceeded, whether in the Roman sump- tuary or in such amusing efforts as the decree of April 1550 in which the Privy council of Scotland decided that the food shortage. threatening famine, came in part from "superfluis chear, or in other words. too much gorging The council thereupon ordered that no archbishop, bishop. or earl should have more than eight dishes at dinner.
 Abbots could have only six,
 Barons four.
 Ordinary substantial men only three.
 Not very severe, to be sure. Indeed, none of the efforts, of the past com pare in scope and seriousness with the steps in food conservation and dis tribution taken in this war by Ger many, England, France and now by the United States. The earliest effort that know of, however, was as for as it went most distinguished suc- cess. Joseph and Pharoah took fifth of the total grain supply and thereby averted famine You can find all about it in Genesis 41:33-35. The earliest food controller was Joseph, and Pha- roah was his Wilson.

PARIS PRESS COMMENTS

Paris, July 7-(Havas Agency )-In their comments on the assassination of Count Non Mirbach, the Paris news papers are unanimous in expressing the opinion that the event will be likely to cause complications. the importance Of which cannot be gauged
 The first awakening of the vengeance of Russia against German tyranny" is the light in which Le Journal views it. while the Fetit Journal wonders if it will not open new phase of Germanys difficulties in the east.
 Tn the state of tension existing be- tween Russia and Germany" says the Figaro, this assassination may lead to the most interesting complications.
 Humanite considers the act not a vol- gar assassin!ation, but an act of open rebellion by exasperated patriotism.
 The assassination, as the Matin views it, shows that there are still in Russia men concerned with the dignity of their country and imbued with patriotism, and the Petit Partisan comments that it probably was patriotic indignation caused by the approach of the German invader which provoked the killing

WAR THE RESULT OF. SECRET TREATY |
 SAYS t. ]. NATIONS
Large Crowd Attends Speak. ing at Capitol Park-Criti- cism Directed at Roman
 Catholic System

Before an audience that nearly filled the seating capacity of the pavilion and the amphitheatre at Capitol park Judge Gilbert o. Nations of Washington, D. C., last night delivered a discourse on
 The Pope, the Kaiser and the World War. By subtle course of reasonins ne traved the origin of the war to a secret treaty between the vatican and Serbia, executed on June 24 1914
 In this treaty, Judge Nations said, the pope compelled Serbia to recognize the Roman Catholic church as the state re- hgion and to pay salaries of the cardinal. the bishops and the priests out of the royal revenues, and to maintain the church out of the taxes of the country. In resentment of this outrage upon his country, so termed by the speaker, a student at Serajevo assassinated the Aus tIian crown prince and his morganatic wife and thereupon forced the war upon the world.
 COLLISION CHARGED
 He charged that the pope and Germany and Austria-Hungary are in collision and that they brought on the war to force autocracy upon the whole world. The war, he said, is between the free coun- tries of the worId-the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy on the one side, and the autocraces, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and the popa on the other side.
 He said that the Roman Catholic church is recognized by most of the countries as a nation and the pope as sovereign; that they receive ambas ssa- dors from the vatican and send ambassa- dors to it, but he pointed out as the exceptions America, France and Italgs who have no diplomatic relations with the vatican.
 Judge Nations said his criticism was directed at the Roman Catholic system, not against the members of that church, and declared that the system was a disease that must be eradicated to savs the free peoples. A
 The pope is reigning sovereign oi the world-more than til at; he is the su. preme reigning autocrat of the worid.s he declared. His subjects, the members of the Roman Catholic church, owe all legiance to, him first and to no other They are not subjects of any other reigning sovereign. The pope claims su- premacy over the whole world"
 SINN FEN REBELLION
 He referred to the Sim Fein rebellion in Ireland, charged it was in collision with Germany, and that Irish-Amert- Sdilo llhc JcIciHldH V lLeStly hedllIle, NlC- Garrity and others in this country were but carrying out the policies of the vati- can when they spread German propa- ganda in the United States intended to defeat conscription and the successful waging of the war.
 When, at the conclusion of his lecture. Judge Nations urged the people of this district to send none but loyal Ameri- can to Congress, a representative who will prove himself 100 per cent American and stand by the President in his war programme, the audience appiauded wig {, orously.
 Judge Nations announced that he would spend week in Alabama making speeches and that he would return to Birmingham for another speech at Capi- tol park next Thursday night when he will discuss the "Vatican's Revenues.
