Starvation Menaces,
Says DR.. Schurman

ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 14.-Warning
that the nation "is confronted with the
danger Of starvation in the next twelve
months" and that "the energies Of our
farmers are paralyzed by price-hxing
and the fear of price-fxing," President
Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell Uni
versity spoke to-day at the Farmers
Week programme, at Cornell Univar-
sity on "The Food Crisis and the
Farmer"
President Schurman deplored at
tempts to regulate the prices of farm
products, but urged legislation to end
profiteering in the sale of foodstutfs.
He warned that the nation is using up
it's grain reserves, and said he believed
the stage has been reached where COM
pulsion should supersede appeals 10
save food. He appealed to President
Wilson and Congress to give farmers
a fair chance to stimulate agricultural
production.

Minister Boret Announces
More Drastic Measures
to Help Soldiers
Hotel Menus Stopped
Administrator Declares the
"Noisy Minority Will No
Longer Hamper War"

PARIS, Feb. 13.-Victor Boret, the
Food Minister, to-day made public,
through q letter to President Poin-
care, tnc outline OF a newly-enacted
restrictive food law by which "Parlia-
ment has for the first time entrusted
to the government extended and eff
cacious powers for governing national
provisioning" Acting under the powers
conferred upon him by the Chamber
of Deputies, Minister Boret announces
that mo longer will noisy minority
in France incapable OF voluntary sac
rifices offer to tho Allies an illusion Of
abundance"
The Minister declares that the ef-
forts of his department will be devoted
to rcserving for soldiers and family
consumption the resources OF French
soil and overseas products; TO assur-
ing a supply Of bread by forbidding
the making Of biscuits and cakes;
to assure a supply Of sugar by inter-
dieting pastry made Of sugar and
honey; to assure milk for children,
the aged and the sick by restricting
the production of certain brands Of
cheese. The Minister further places
limitations on meals served in public
eating places. These will be confined
to certain hours in order to prevent
waste.
The law passed by the Chamber pro-
vides penalties for all infractions Of
the Ministerial decree which, the
Food Minister says, will be enforced
severely or lightly, according to the
circumstances. Grave or repeated in
fractions will receive the full rigors of
the law.
The Minister'S letter concludes by
asking the President to sign a decree
which will put the law passed by the
Chamber and the. Ministerial decree
into force.
The condition of winter wheat in
the departments Of France which give
the largest yields is reported by an
expert, who has just finished a tour
Of inspection, to Justify fully the most
optimistic hopes for the 1918 crop.
Nowhere did the frost do any damage,
and the prospects are good for
greater crop per acre than in any year
since 1914.

Stockmen Ask
"Square Deal" to
Keep Prices Low

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Investiga-
tion of the nations food situation, with
particular reference to wheat and
meat, was begun day by the Senate
Agriculture Committee.
A. Sykes, of Ida Grove, Iowa, presi-
dent of the Corn Belt Meat Producers
Association, told the committee that
stock feeders were contending with a
host of menacing wartime difficulties,
chiefly inability to get cars to ship
their stock to market.
Only patriotism, he declared, could
keep farmers in business under condi-
tions so discouraging.
Failure of stock feeders in the corn
belt of Iowa, Nebraska and adjacent
states to obtain cars was resulting not
only IN a great monetary loss, Mr..
Sykes declared, but also in great waste
of feed for cattle while waiting for
delayed rolling stock.
These men won't be burnt again, y
he said. "They won't pour their earn
lngs into a hole"
Low Prices Feared
col Ciit cHc lOOu administration
would establish beef prices SO low as
to jeopardizc their interests induced
many cattle men to slaughter imma-
ture stock, Mr.. Sykes said This prac-
fice, he added, necessarily would in
evltably cause price advances to the
ultimate consumer.
Dwight B. Hurd. of Phoenix. Ariz.,
former president of the American Live
stock Association, told the committee
that MIR. Sykes's picture of serious
meat shortage was not overdrawn. and
that unless remedial action was taken
domestic shortage equivalent to "a
national disaster was probable.
AS solution to present defects in
inc production and distribution svs-
tom Mr.. llurd recommended that the
food administration and Department
OF Agriculture form a joint committee
to ana'yze conditions and make recon-.
mendations for government co0pera-
ton with the industry.
Although the packers are making
tremendous" wartime profits, their in
creased earnings. Mr. Hurd said, have
not been reflected in better prices tc
the cattlemen or in more equitable
prices to tho consumer.

The Truth from
Washington

There are many Washington correspond
ents. There is only one David Lawrence,
the correspondent of The Evening Post.
He does more than record the news. He
has won national recognition for his bril-
liant and truthful interpretations of events
political, Legislative and diplomatic He knows the
men who make history at the National Capitol He
has wealth of inside information He tells not
only what has happened and why it happened and
what it means, but what is going to happen in the
affairs OF state, and in the clearest and most enter
tanning way
For instance Mr. Laurence forecast the election Of
President Wson 1uhen Others predicted his defeaf.
and recently he made three predictions as to inoo,t
1nt public policies avhicA came true.

Music, Drama, Cartoons

Music lovers everywhere regard Henry 7.
Finck's musical criticism as the ablest and most
interesting appearing in any daily newspaper while
!. Rankin Towse, the Dramatic Critic. now the
dean of his profession, is distinguished for his bril-
liant and entertaining reviews of the stage.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-15

Among cartoonists Ccsare takes first rank. He
is unique. bold forccful above all an artist with an
instinct for pictorial satire, and Fontainc Fox the
Eugene Field of American comic artists, adds
lighter touch with daily picture which will get
hearty laugh from every member of the family.
