THE RATCHET MAY STOP.
Weekly Paper at G. W. q. Likely
to Discontinue During War.

For the first time in many years.,
George Washington University stu
dents may be without weekly news
paper this year. due to war condi-
tions.
The question of disseminating pub
LEGATION is under consideration by
the faculty committee on student ac-
tivities. A definite announcement is
expected within few days.
The student paper is called The
University Ratchet, and heretofore
has been issued every Friday. The
paper has been edited entirely by
students under general faculty super
vision.
Most of the male students are mem
bers of the Students Army Training
Corps unit. and their time limited
almost exclusively to military study.
The high cost Of paper and Of print
ing also makes it uncertain whether
tho Ratchet could be conducted on a
successful financial basis. Univer-
sity authorities are loath to run the
risk Of mourning deficit.

to the scene of the conflict.
 Men. munitions and food must go from here There is an actual sur plus of some foods in Australia. India, and the Argentine. but to bring food from these remote ports would re- euire more shipping than we can spare
 That is why the enormous respon- s:tility for feeding the Allies is so ,argely ours. If instead of satisfying practically half their food needs. as was the case during the current year, we could send during the coming year their entire outside supply. it would mean the release of almost million and a half tons of shipping.
 To do this would mean still more stringent saving. Last year our peo- pie voluntarily reduced their consump- ton about seven per cent. Even more may be demanded of us another year.
 There is no time for such trivialities
 
 as inard-and-fast food preferences. Af- ter the war is won the people of Amer ica may return to whatever. fare they like best, if they wish. But all that matters little now.
 The loyal women of the country are studying food values, learning to cook new dishes and fighting waste. The loyal men of the country are learning to eat whatever is set before them, thinking but little of old preferences and caring less.
 Men and women alike have but one goal: to get ships enough to send over men, munitions and food. Shipping and food are the dominant factors on prosecution of the war.

Won ECKARDT MAY GET
VAST SUMS FROM GERMNY

MEICO. CITY, Feb. 21(Corres-
tendance of The Associated Press;
Germans in NjoXico, especially at the
capital, are supplying H. Won Eckardt
the German minister here, with the
siaews OF war for the extensive pro-
ragaganda campaign that is being
carried on by the legation, both
through newspapers and private agent
There has been much speculation as
TO what means the German minister
used to secure funds to maintain the
large legation, his sumptuous home
and the Teutonic propaganda since
he was cut Off from the iatheriand,
but it is now learaed that German
banksbuisness hcusesand individuals
are buying his notes on the Imperial
government.
The claim has been advanced re-
peatedly that ven Eckardt, deprived
Of the use of neutral diplomatic wires
i'll communicating with his govern
ment, was keeping in touch with the
Berlin foreign office through letters
carried on Spanish ships tC the gulf
OF Biscay, whence they were sent by
submarine to Berlin. 1t was started
that he was being supplied with funds
via this claim unteGable. Despite
denial by the Spanish line involved,
here, that Won Eckardts letters are
being carried Oh its ships, that mes
sages from The legation, sent in plain
to yaryerable addresses
in Spain, ultimately find their way to
Berlin. by the way Of Switzerland or
some other route.
