THE ONION CROP

WY ESTERN Pennsylvania far
Wv mers complain that they have
no market for the $4,000
bushels of onions they raised this
year, and they are at loss to under
stand why. We think we know. Most
likely it's because of the scarcity of
good beefsteak. Steak smothered in
onions used to be a favorite dish in
many restaurants. But when the
army went to France and most of the
fine cuts of beef followed, and what
was left at home shot up beyond
the price we once paid for turkey,
the consumption of onions suffered
likewise. The remedy is equally
simple and scientific. Let the far
mers who complain raise steers on
one half the farm and onions on the
other. and-presto-the problem is
solved.
Or. the war coming to an end and
the supply Of beef for home con-
sumption being gradually increased,
why not an advertising campaign to
popularize the consumption of beef
steak smothered in onions, in which
the restaurant men and the growers
of French fried potatoes might Join.

ITALIA IRRIDENTA

,[From the Kansas City Starl
The complete and decisive victory
achieved by Italian arms, a victory
which. measured by its direct and
immediate results, must be account
ed one of the greatest in the wars
annals, will be accorded the fullest
recognition by the Allies and by his
tory. A year after the defeat of
Caporetto, in which German treach-
cry accomplished what German and
Austrian arms could not do, the
army has shown the world how
slight was the crack opened up in
the Italian defense by the elaborate
propaganda and barrage of lies with
which the enemy had sought to
break it down, and how steadfast
and unshaken Italian nationalism
and the character of the Italian
people remained Throughout the or
deal.
The resolute stand on the Piave,
after the retreat from the Isonzo,
deprived the enemy of all the eX-
pected fruits of his victory, pur-
chased by deceit and intrigue, The
army did not break, the nation stood
firm and, instead of the sack of
Venice and the triumphant march to
Rome the enemy had promised him
self, he was forced to devote his
whole strength to holding a line
that profited him nothing and kept
from Germany the help that had
been anticipated from a released
Austrian army.
If Italy had done no more for the
Allied cause, this canceling of Aus
trian cooperation with the German
forces in other theaters would have
been an ample measure of service
from a nation without large econo-
mic resources and deficient in war
material, such as coal and steel. 3.
But Italy was not content with
that effort. Her soil was invaded.
Her ancient provinces were unre-
deemed and she had lost the line of
her first brilliant advance. She re-
sumed the offensive, forced the pass
age of the Piave, defeated and routed
a great Austrian army that occupied
front of more than a hundred
miles, and in a campaign of but a
few days, laid Austria's military
power in the dust. Germany's last
ally, the power closest to her and on
which which she counted the most
was put out of the war, and, by
poetic justice, put out by the ma
tion the Austrians had long oppress.
ed and despoiled.
Italy is redeemed. The Italian
flag again floats in Trieste and the
Trentino, and in the acclaim of the
Italian people over this victory oi
justice every Allied people will
heartily join it's voice.

A Question of LWO
By.BRIGGS
[From the Pittsburgh Dispatch1

[From the Pittsburgh Dispatch1
The food administration of Penn
sylvania which has admitted itself
rebuffed in attempts at remedial ac-
tivity by the absence of state laws to
restrain profiteers, believes way is
opening to effect a change. A mass
of evidence is said to have been col
lected to prove the profiteering prac-
tice common in Philadelphia, and
Congress will be asked to act upon
it by providing legislation that will
give ,the food administration a legal
resource. The long list of regulative
orders issued from time to time has
given the public an impression that
the food administration had almost
unlimited powers, but Mr.. Hoover
and his subordinates say the reverse
is true. When the beneficial results
of the food administration in New
York were pointed to by victimized
Philadelphians the answer invariably
was that official activity in New York
was through state laws.
Mr.. Hoover and his assistants
deplored from time to time that fed
eral agents, acting in the national
interest, were forced to rely for legal
aid upon state laws, and solicited
Congress to provide the necessary
power which always was denied
Now the food administration believes
it has collected enough testimony
on the widespread ravages of the
profiteering epidemic to satisfy Con.
gress that legislative necessity has
! been proved. The Pennsylvania Food
Administration has had field agents
| out for some time gathering prices
on all staples and noting practices
and is able to establish the profiteer-
ing fact whether Congress gives heed
and supplies the corrective laws OIL
not. The administration also ex-
presses the opinion that if Congress
will furnish the legal weapon profit.
eering in foods can be brought tC
an end, the result consumers have
hoped for without much hope in its
| consummation.

ARE YOU READY?

n My those who are In intimate
touch with the great war work
program of seven wonderful
organizations have any real appre-
citation of the comprehensive char
acter of their big undertaking. OF
all the projects that have been
launched, however, none is more
far-reaching than the determination
of the United War Work campaign
ers to establish among the fighting
forces of the United States overseas
universities for the continuance dur
ing the period of decentralization of
the educational work which was in
terrupted with the breaking out of
the war.
Several thousand professors are
being modified under the direction
OF the united campaign leaders for
educational work on the other side
OF the ocean. All the Y. M. C. A.
and knights of Columbus buildings
will be utilized as educational CEN
ters and here the university work
will be carried on. Millions of dol
lars are necessary for this splendid
effort in behalf of the boys who have
been fighting the battles of freedom
and justice. Many of the young
soldiers will come back as q result
Of this program ready for their de-
grees or prepared to continue their
college careers without any serious
interruption of their studies,

Germany has broken with the shaky
Government of Russia, but having
stolen about everything that the
Prussian invaders could lay their
hands on, they are probably quite will
ling to relinquish any further respon-
sibility. One OF the specifications Of
the peace terms with Germany should
be the sending of an enormous salvage
corps of the Allied armies to scour
every part Of Germany for the plumber
which has been shipped back from the
invaded territory. Germany will never
get what's coming to her until there
is a thorough reclamation service es-
tablished which will return. so far as
possible, the stolen property of the
neighboring countries.
