my humble opinion. lies the crux OF ta4
matter. The war parasite" like al ~

protect himself, and unless drastic acss
ton is taken to combat this parax1tl~
cal epidemic" the life Of the govNYn@,

ardous. S.s{s2
Washington newspapers are deserS-i
ing of high commendation for the{r;
splendid efforts in trying to amelioxat1
conditions by advocating higher salAxS'
les for government employees. but "a.
seems to me their good intentions at
misdirected. The granting of an fu@l
crease by Congress does not begin ~!
cope with the situation. A raise ~ S11l-t
ary is only the signal for further inc1fS}
sions into the already depleted pufga 6a

CALLS IT A FARCE,
American Defense Society Critieises
Result of Food Saving Efforts.

Characterizing the situation with re-
spect to food conservation as farce
and the efforts to save for the allies as
fiat failure, the American Defense
Society today appealed to Congress to
enact adequate food conservation legis-
lation. even to the institution of COM
pulSory rationing system.
A statement issued by the society de-
clares that in the absence of such leg
islation the disloyal. the careless and
the self-indulgent gormandize just as
usual"
The only sensible way to conserve
food. declares the society. is to stop the
unnecessary consumption Of it and to
stop 1t firmly and decisively.

For long time it had been known
that the Brazilian fleet would assume
the responsibility of patrolling the
entire coast line from the Guiana bor-
der to the southern boundary of Brazil,
but this is the first indication that
the Brazilian fleet would cooperate in
European waters with the warships of
the allies.
Brazil in her navy has been consid-
cred equal in strength to the combined
power of Chile and Argentina. The
pride of the Brazilian navy is her two
modern dreadnaughts of 1921 tons.
the Minas Geraes and Sac Paulo. both
of which were built in the United
States. These vessels carry twelve
twelve-inch guns and subsidiary bat
teries. In addition. Brazil has two
