NECESSITY OF FOOD RESERVE

The effect in England Of the great
ly increased shipments Of meat from
this country during the past two
months is indicated by cable re-
ceived from the British ministry Of
food
During April. 359,o5s,oOO pounds
of beef and pork products were ex-
ported, as compared with 161, O00,-
600 pounds in April, 1917, and 49,
100000 pounds in April, 1914, be-
fore the war began. The total ex-
ports Of meat products last April
were therefore about 22O per cent Of
exports in the same month last year
and about $50 per cent Of those in
April, 1914.
The cable which follows empha
sizes the necessity for building up
food reserve against any contingency
and urges that there be no slackening
Of effort on this side Of the Allan
tic:
Thanks to the splendid response
from America, the shortage which
was threatened in beef and bacon is
now no longer as serious as it has
been during recent weeks, and the
meat ration, which was reduced, from
the workingman's point Of view, al
most to the vanishing point, has now
been restored to the normal amount
under the compulsory rationing sys-
TEN. The willingness with which
the population as whole has accept
ed compulsory rationing and the sue
cess Of the rationing arrangements
have produced marked decrease in
consumption, and this also naturally
eases the food situation.

S2rate is ascribed as the cause for
the increase in the subscription rate
of the Routt County Sentinel:
The rising cost Of paper, equip
ment requirements, postage and al
operating. expenses has the same ef
feet upon newspapers as it has upon
all ether lines Of business. Every
item entering into TIE production OF
the paper has advanced from % to
400 per cent in the past two years,
ana it is costing the Sentinel far more
to produce each copy Of TIE paper
than it did before the great war be
gan. We are not willing to publish
a less valuable or 'newsy' paper, but
instead are determined that the Sen
tinel shall continue to be the best
newspaper in northwestern Colorado,
and that it shall contain more, in
stead Of less, Of the news of Routt

imports from America will remove
anxiety as regards our position in
these commodities.
"The fact that it is now feasible to
maintain the scale Of compulsory ra-
tioning must not be taken to mean
that there is any surplus of food in
the country. Under conditions of
war such as this it would obviously
be an elementary precaution to build
up as large reserve Of food as pos
sible in an island which is menaced

The commissioners cry for Helm

YVJHY does Prohibition Commissioner
w Peters need more assistance in enforc-
ing tho Statewide dry laws? Does he? Let
us see. The commissioner demands that no
be given 100000 year for the use of his
Office, ostensbly to establish his OWL police
force with which to prevent tho illegal inn
portation of ntoXicants into Virginia There
are in the State 100 counties and twenty
cities. each with its own sheriff and Com
monwcaith'S attorney. In each there is an
adequate police force. All of these are sub
ject to the orders OF the Prohibition Com
missioner in his fight against the liquor
traffic. At their head stands tho Attorney
General, an ardent friend OF prohibition, who
voted for it as Il member of the State Senate,
and now chief OF the States legal depart
ment stands pledged to its rigid enforcement
backing up the commissioner III his handling
of this immense force OF legal and police
officers there is on the statute books, written
there by the General Assembly OF 1916, an
custer law. under the provisions of which
any one OF them who fails in his duty may be
oustcd from his position.
There is the machinery for law enforce
ment which Commissioner Peters has in his
hands Now he has the hardihoOd to como
before the people and say that he must have
moro help; that he cannot with his present
forcc-both the State officers and those en-
ploycd by him acknowledgement the I'M
portation of liquor into The State. Let it be
granted that liquor is being brought into
Virginia over the National Highway, the
roads leading through the Northern Neck,
and over various other roads. Has the com
missioner ever called upon the sheriff of any
county or city through which it passes for
aid and not received it? If the sherilfs are
not performing ,hcir police duties adequately
why have no custer proceedings been brought?
1t is weapon which was forged and placed
Ill the commissioners hands for use in Just
such cases. If lie cannot trust the Common
wealth's attorneys Of the counties and cities,
let him say so frankly. If they fail to per-
form their duties, they, too. may be ousted
Under these conditions the people cannot be
convinced that to build up a legal and police
machine for the sole use of the commissioner
would not be needless and cxtravagant
luxury
The commissioner has filed not one custer
proceeding during the two years of his in
cumbcncy. Thereby he has at least tactly
admitted either that the law enforcement ma
chinery already provided by the State has
been working to his satisfaction or that he
has been derclct in his own duty and should
himself be ousted.
With these facts before it, the Assembly
will be guilty OF almost criminal waste if
From lis demand for 81 600 the Senate has
sliced $4,000 from the first years appro-
priation and $4,000 from the second. The
pruning knife is moving in the right dircc-
ton, but it still has far to so.

Japan has played fair with the allies in this
J war. She has met every obligation as
sumcd in her treaty with Great Britain. in
which each country engaged to assist the
other should the Asiatc interests OF either be
assailed by another power. When hostiitics
broke out Japan promptly declared war on
Germany and Immediately proceeded TO drive
that nation out OF Pacific waters capturing
both her island possessions and the strongly
fortified position OF kiaGChau, in China Since
then she has made Il good job OF keeping
the Pacific clear Of German naval menace.
She has been the chief mainstay Of Russia
in keeping that country supplied with NUM-
lions OF while resisting the common
enemy. She has released to the allies all the
available shipping she could spare, and in
that way has greatly facilitated ocean trans
portation. she has sent her dcstroycrs into
the Mediterranean and materially reduced
the submarine menace III those waters.
Recently an agreement was entered into
with America, whereby Japan assumed the
dnty OF preserving order in the Far East
which in principle makes Japan responsible
for tho application Of policy in respect 10
that portion OF the globe worry similar to the
application OF our own Monroe Doctrine to
