ONE EXAMPLE OF WASTE.

The Chicago Daily News in a recent
editorial had this to say of government
waste:
From the United States treasury's
bureau of publicity the Daily News
received in a single mail on Satur-
day twenty nine envelopes, all frank =
ed, all marked Official Business, all
bearing the printed warning Penalty
for private use to avoid payment of
postage, $780, and ali addressed in
the same handwriting to The Chicago
Daily News Co.. The contents of all
the envelopes We're precisely alike.
Each contained small paper shield
in red, white and blue bearing the in
spired legend, Buy More Bonds
BUY more bonds for what? To
provide money to win the war and
secure the triumph of justice and
lasting peace or to buy envelopes for
the bureau of publicity of the United
States treasury department to waste?
perhaps it is small matter that
in this time Of labor scarcity some
one was employed to address twenty
nine envelopes in order that twenty
nine small paper shields might be
mailed at the same time to the same

WE MUST FEED THEM.

The people of America have beer
conserving foodstuffs in order that
there might be sufficient of these
| necessaries for our soldiers and our
allies and their soldiers Indications
are that the war may soon be over
but we must not imagine that the
| necessity for conservation will pass
! with the ending of the war.
In addition to the foodstuffs which
we must continue for some time to
provide for our armies and our asso-
ciates in the war, it will devolve upon
us to help relieve conditions of star
walton in once enemy countries. Amer
lea and the allies are now planning to
cooperate in making available as far
as possible food and other supplies
| necessary for the lives of the demon
allied civilian population of Bulgaria
Turkey and Austria Hungary. Large
elements of these populations have
been in sympathy with the allied cause
from the beginning of the war, but
that aside, the peoples of the countries
eliminated from the war are suffer
ing intensely from want of food, cloth
ing and other necessities, winter is at
hand, and the call upon our humanity
is strong.
Stores of foodstuffs have been ac-
cumulated in Australia and elsewhere
because OF the submarine menace and
This difficulty is disappearing and
these stores are now available for dis
tribution where they are most needed.
Doubtless also reserves of foodstuffs
have been held in all the central
powers for the use of their armies,
and these reserves will be properly
apportioned. But still there will not
be enough food to meet the urgent
needs of the peoples of the greater
part of Europe who have been exist
ing for a year and more on starvation
rations
We of America must feed or help
feed these peoples until normal con-
ditions are restored in their coun-
tries Not only the peoples of Bull
garia and Turkey and Austria--and
of Germany, if that country should
surrender-but the liberated popula-
tons of Belgium and Northern France
must have food. It is the humane
duty of the United States TO provide
much of the food and the people OF
this favored and fortunate land must
continue cheerfully to conserve food
stuffs. They must even support a
more drastic program Of conservation.

ANOTHER THRONE AND CROWN
GONE.

When this was written the real sit
uation in Germany was somewhat
obscure, although the official an
nouncement had been made at Berlin
that kaiser Wilhelm had tossed his
crown aside, dismantIed his throne
and gone out OF the emperoring bust
ness; also the crown prince, Freder-
ick Wilhelm, seems to have suddenly
decided that this king business is al!
vanity and that as the weather fore
cast for Berlin and vicinity indicates
that severe storms are going to rage
in that vicinity in the near future, he
has decided to abandon all hopes of
being an autocrat and win seek safety
where the climate is more salubrious.
1t also seems that other personages.
with Hohenzollern blood in their
veins have become disguised with the
idea of welding a scepter over the
heads Of some $4,000, 900 subjects, as,
when the question of ruling was sug-
gested to them they. too. concluded
that the discreet course ia adopt

cidentally come their way and cause
their bodies of flesh and blood to be
blown to small bits and used for dec
orative purpose on the adjacent land
scape. In fact it looks as il the end
of the Hohenzollern outfit is at hand.
The princely family of Hohenzol-
lern dates from Thassilo, count of
Zollern, who died about 500 A. D
There have been several lines and
branches of the Hohenzollerns, this
first separation taking place about
1165. A fusion was brought about in
1919, when the reigning princes Of the
other branches coded their respective
rights and principalities to the king of
Prussia. who in 1871 became emperor
of Germany. The main branch OF the
Hohenzollern family was represented
by the recently deposed imperial
family of Germany.

mortal Lincoln, you can't fool all of

mans have at last asserted their rights.
And, while, in view of the revolt which
appears to have spread throughout
Germany, the Germans may cause
much bloodshed on their own soil as
a result of fighting among themselves
before stable form of government is
