EXPERTS HERE SHOW GERMANY
FAILS IN FOOD MANAGEMENT

A detailed survey Of the food situa-
tfon in Germany. Austria-Hungary.
Bulgaria and Turkey during 1917 has
just been published as Bulletin 242
by the bureau of labor statistics of
the United States Department Of La
bor. This survey is based exclusive
ly on laws, DEGREES, orders, utterances
of public officials and civic bodies of
the countries covered and on COM
ments of the daily press and leading
economic and trade journals of these
countries.
In general. the survey shows that
Turkey is actually starving because
of the corruption of her own officials
and the greed of Germany: that Ger
many and Austria are not starving.
but are having a very hard struggle
to feed themselves; that Hungary is
in better shape than either Germany
or Austria, and that Bulgaria so far
as food is concerned is suffering the
least of all the countries covered. The
survey also shows that Germany has
failed by wide margin to live up
to her reputation for efficiency in her
attempts at food administration. hav-
ing been obliged to reverse her poll
fatal results of official blunders. 1t
shows conclusively that the civil
populations of Germany and Austria
are suffering permanent physical de-
terioration from lack Of proper food;
that the death rate from tuberculosis
is rapidly increasing; that growing
boys and girls are not getting half
the nourishment they should have, and
that manual laborers are being un-
derfed to about, the same extent.
thing revealed by the survey is the
fact that the traditional hatred be-
tween the two parts Of the dual
monarchy, Austria-Hungary, has been
manifesting itself in the refusal of
Hungary to share her comparative
abundance with Austria and in the
official and public resentment Of that
fact in the latter country.
Prof1teering, greed. breakdown. of
transportation and faulty organiza-
tion of Germany and her allies.
Many original articles on the food
situation in leading German and Aus
trlan newspapers were at the disposal
ments on food orders. their enforce
ment and the practical result of their
application were available from or
gans of all policial parties, thus rep
resenting every point of view. Ma
terial relating to the food situation
in Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey was
much scarcer. Those parts of the bull
letin which cover the food situation
in these three countries are therefore
less comprehensive than the parts
covering Germany and Austria. AS
far as it was possible the material for
each country covered was arranged
in the following order: First, an OFF,
cial or unofficial summary of the food
situation in 1917. or both: this is fol-
lowed by an outline Of the food policy
for the 1913 harvest reports, food
orders relating to individual food
stuffs, comments on and criticism of
these orders and their practical ap-

prices of individual foodstuffs and
their rationing, illegal procuring of

Larch Only Straight Tree.

The larch. or what is called in Can
ada and the United States tamarack,
was the only tree that could be found
straight and large enough for the
cabin. This tree. unlike any other,
grows straight naturally, no matter if
alone. Other trees. unless they stand
close together in forests and so be-
come straight by reaching up for light
develop more or less crookedly and
throw out strong branches.
These far-spreading branches are a
marked characteristic of English
trees.
The Canadian foresters in the great
park of Windsor made the acquaint-
ance of another extraordinary tree be-
sides the "Conqueror Oak" This is a
huge beech which stands not far from
Virginia water. Its branches extend
in radius of sixty-eight feet from
the center Of the trunk. Beneath its
leafy roof on one occasion $500 Cana
dian officers and men assembled for
religious services.

King Ordered Cutting.
Sawyer Within Tree.

Into the heart of the trunk a hole
was cut and a sawyer placed inside.
The sawyer inside. working with the
fellow outside, cut gradually around
the trunk until the ancient monarch
slowly swayed from his base and fell
with a resounding crash. The heart
of the tree was cleaned out and the
hole filled with cement to avert fur
ther decay. The wood Is susceptible
of the most beautiful polish and
doubtless the main portion Of the
trunk will keep permanently.
Some small souvenirs have been
given away. Needless to say, they
would command large prices IL sold at
auction. In a typically Canadian log
cabin built for the king at Windsor
the mantelpiece is made OF wood
from the old oak. This cabin struc-
ture is of great interest here. There

skillfully that a six pence cannot be

LONDON. juno 15.-One Of the most

William the Conqueror oak" which
stood beneath the kings window at
Windsor
For several reasons this was per-
haps the most remarkable tree in the
British Isles. In the first place. it was
more than 1000 years old. Authentic
records show that 1t was standing
where the Canadians found 1t as long
ago as 900 A. D. In the second place.
the tree was thirty-eight and one
half feet in diameter at the base. In
the third place, the oak composing 1T
is Of an especially fine dark brown
variety, the finest that the men who
cut it ever saw.
King Ordered Cutting.
1t was felled at the request Of the
king. probably because 1t had be-
come scraggy and unsightly. Its
heart was rotten. but it was still
new wood. Care had been exercised
through the centuries to preserve it,
a circular fence screening 1t from the
deer. 1t was sixty-five feet tall, with
q wide, branching top.
With all their experience with trees
the Canadians hardly knew at first
how to get it down. Their ordinary
cross-cut saws are only five feet in
length, but for this gigantic oak they
needed a saw some fifteen feet in
length. Such a saw they ordered and
it was finally delivered: but not until
the enterprising Canadian spirit had
solved the problem

CREEL'S PRIDE"

Chairman George Creel in his address in the National Conference vt Lectures, April s, 1918.
 There was 8 question, when we went to war, of preparation. We had not prepared, and l shah al ways be proud to my dying day, -aat there was no rush of prepara- ton iu this country prior to the day the President went before Con gres and saiG': We are driven to accept a state of war by the a& s-essious of the German Govern ment." For to have prepared, to Alye held out offers Of peace with ole hand and attempted a cOncilia- lion with the other, and all the whlo have been preparing for war, would have been to give the lie to what We said; namely that We would not engage in war unless we had exhausted every re source at our command"

AIR RAID VICTIMS ARE.
 HELPED BY RED CROSS
Ambulance Drivers and Nurses Render Valuable Assistance
 in Paris.

Dynamite is playing a big part in the war and will play still bigger part as the airplanes multiply In the different warning nations and the work of the American Red Cross Is increas- ed thereby. .'-.
 Raids over London and Paris and other open cities by the Germans in which bombs are dropped that kill and iujUre many persons, create work for Red Cross ambulance drivers and nurses. At the time of the last raid over Paris the offer of help made by the Red Cross was received gratefully by the French authorities. A letter tells of it as follows:
 The Huns came in four squadrillas of seven each, did their dirty work and sneaked away with the French after them. None of the men at the Red Cross warehouse was hurt but several, had marrow escapes. My first feeling was curiosity; then l was provoked, just like you would be If you saw a big brute beat up a child, and you could do nothing.
 "The people in the United States must wake up and realize we are fight ing a crazy, mad nation. It is no more. a time to talk than If you saw mad dog coming for you, ready to bite. The American Indian in his palmlest days wouId never have acted like they do nor could he have conceived of such action.
 Make the people at home realize that while the fighting is 5000 miles from the United States, unless We beat them here, once for all, 1t will have to be done later. Horrible as 1t may seem, we will have to use their meth ods to beat sense into their heads. The Red Cross here is working hard to meet the situation"

cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.

Since October l the radio station at Cayite, cooperating with the Philip pine bureau of posts and the Manila observatory, has been sending the time signals of the 12Oth meridian east Of Greenwich at II q. m. and 10 p. m. every day, says Science.
 For the purpose of sending time sig uals. the transmitting clock of the Ma nlla observatory Is connected with the Cavite wireless station through the bu- reau of posts. Manila observatory time signals begin at 1O:55 a. m. and 9:55 D. m., standard time of the 12Oth me ridian east of Greenwich, and continue for five minutes. During this interval every tick of the clock is transmitted, except the 2Sth. 29th, 54th 55th, 58th, 57th. 5Sth and 59th of each minute.
 The situation of Manila in the Pa cifc makes this service of the greatest importance to the mercantile and naval fleets that ply upon that ocean.

A WORD ABOUT THE KIDNEYS
BY poCToR WATSON:

People arc easily frightened when
they think something is the matter
with their lungs or heart. and we'll they
may be; but few people understand
-the dangers of diseased kidneys. These
organs have a duty of vital import
ance 70 perform. and If they are dis
eased, there is no telling how or where
the symptoms may appear. The kid
neys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from
the blood and purify it. When the
kidneys arc diseased, the poisons are
spread everywhere. and one of these
poisons is uric acid. The uric acid is
carried all through the system and de-
posted in various places, in the form
Of urate salts--in the feet. ankles,
wrists and back-'often forming bags
