Victory Assured
 Uncle Sam

Victory" is Uncle Sam $. The famous slogan of the gov ernment in its conservation program, Food will win the war" may now be summed up in the one word, Victory" which is now the property of the United States Food Admin istration by reason of a formal assignment just received by MT. Hoover.
 Of all the names suggested in-cOnnection with the new na- tiOn-wide campaign for the further conservation of wheat flour, being inaugurated this month by the baking industry, that of Victory" was by far the most popular. Investigation developed, however, that ''Vic- tory" was a trade mark of the National Biscuit Company, duly registered in the United States Patent Office and in use since 1901, and therefore it's property.
 President R. E. Tomlinson of the National Biscuit Company was appealed to and promptly responded by saying it would be a pleasure to transfer to the Food Administration all rights in this trade mark. The formal assignment has now been re- ceived and the thanks of the United States Food Admins tration extended to the com pany for its patriotic contribu- tion, as we'll as for the pub licity assistance being rendered it in the Food Conservation campaign.

TRIED TO SPLIT
 ENTENTE ALLIES

London, Feb. 13 = The recent speeches of Count von Hertling and Count Czernin were a collusive per- formance between the two statesmen intended to drive a wedge between the Allies rather than to obtain peace, Earl Curzon, government leader in the House of Lords, declared in a debate yesterday in the House of Lords on the address to the throne. No attempt, he said, had been made to meet the minimum demands of the Allies. He added:
 "The most critical times that have ever confronted this country are in front of us. But I do not think the position is at all dangerous and our military advisers do not think it is. At the same time we shall have to put every ounce of effort into the com. mon cause. If we do that I am con- ffdent we will win and, thus save, civilization"

in the hall. This was so unexpected. Then one of the men got up, and, holding up his amply sleeve, he shouted, How many more men do you want killed and crippled in order to achieve all your desires?'' This brought down the house, and Count Bothmer departed sadder and a wiser man.
 Revolution.
 All this is significant enough. Equally so is the threat, uttered in the Prussian parliament early in De- cember. 1917, that if the government did not help the people against the intolerable oppression of the military, there would be a revolution in Ger many. The very walls of the building trembled. That the word revolution should be uttered in the Prussian parliament was something unheard of.
 Yet is it any wonder? Food is scarce; clothes cannot be got; streets are dark; there is no coal; railway travelling is martyrdom; the military authorities oppress the public with an iron heel. You may not talk aloud; you may not read what you like. Life is becoming intolerable. Every family has lost some one in the war. Suffering is trenmendous, and yet there was no prospect of peace.
 All of a sudden there comes the news that Russia is willing to discuss terms. The Germans danced for joy. Here at last was the light breaking on their darkness. They would only need to bear their ills a little, little longer. So all eyes turned to Brest- Litovsk. There appeared to be a few difficulties on the horizon. On the 18th day of July, 1917, the German Imperial parliament passed a reso1u- ton in favor of peace by understand ing, wi'' out annexations and without indemnities. This was the kind of peace the Bolsheviks wanted. So the German people expected great things to happen. Did the German Govern ment? They sent men to Brest-I&- ovsk to get as much as they could for Germs ny. But the Bolsheviks asked for plain dealing. No anneRations mean no annexations. The Bolsheviks were pledged to that. The majority parties in the German Imperial Par lfamd1t were pledged to that The Socialists in Germany asked for noth- | ing else. No annexations and no in- demnities. A plain formula for plain people.
 The Crisis
 If the German Government and the Kaiser are honest there need be no difficulties in the way. Peace with Russia would soon be in sight. But the Germtan Government is not hon. est. They are playing monkey tricks at present with the Bolsheviks. But the Bolsheviks see through the decep- tions, and are going to stand firm.
 If the German delegates should re- turn from Brest-Litovsk and tell the Germans that they must go On fight Ing, an angry people will rise up, and sweep away the whole crew-Kaisel and all. All the bitterness, the dis appointment, the pain, the loss, the suffering, the hardships that have ac- cumulated during the last three year. will turn a disappointed people agains their masters The German is { worm, but even a worm will turn. Int reform in Germany will be internal
 Watch the news from Brest-Litovsk Either there will be a revolution il Germany or the world will at last ar rive at the peace for which it is long ing. (By The Intel national News Bu reau, Inc, Boston, Mass.)

LACK OF COAL IS
 SHUTTING PLANTS

Newark, N. J., Feb. 13-War work in hundreds of plants in northern New Jersey is at standstir today as a result of the shutdown of power by the Public Service Electric Co. The service is not expected to be resumed for several days. Thousands of workmen are idle in all industrial cen ters north of Trenton. Only power sufficient to supply the street railways, homes and shipping piers will be furnished by the company un- til conditions improve. The com pany uses about 5000 tons of coal a day in its northern New Jersey power plants and the inability of the fuel administration to continue the pool ing process by which this amount was furnished, it is said, made the cur tailment necessary.
