Nothing Else Matters
Except Winning Victory
Says Rudyard Kip1ing

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Folkstone, England, Feb. 16.-
Nothing else under heaven matters
today except that the war shall go on
to victory" declared Rudyard Kip
ling here today in striking and pic
turesque speech in advocacy OF wa
savings. The money we loan to the
government helps to set our lana
and our world free continued Mr.
Kpling. Our security for our loan
is not only the whole OF the British
Empire but also the whole OF civil
ization which has pooled its re-
sources in men, money and material
to carry on this war to victory.
What is the personal aspect OF the
case for you and me? We are fight
ing for our lives, the lives of every
man. woman and child here and ev-
erywhere else.
I'VE are fighting that we may not
be herded into actual slavery such
as the Germans have established by
force Of their arms in large parts Of
Europe.
I'VE are fighting against eighteen
hours a day forced labor under lash
or at the point of the bayonet, with
a dogs death and dogs burial at
the end of it.
1--WE are fighting that men. wo-
men and children may not be tor
tured, burned, and mutilated in the
public streets, as has happened in
this town and in hundreds of others.
And we will go on fighting till the
race who have done these things are
in no position TO continue or repeat
their offence.
IF for any reason whatever we
fall short of victory-and there is no
halfway house between victory and
defeat-what happens to US? This:
Every relation, every under
standing, every decency upon which
civilization has been so anxiously
built up will go-will be washed out,
because it will have proved unable to
endure. The whole idea of democracy
- which at bottom is what the Hun
fights against-will be dismissed
from mems minds, because it will
have been shown incapable of main
tanning itself against the Hun. 1t will
die; and it will die discredited, to-
gether with every belief and practice
that is based on it.
The Hun ideal, the Huns root
notions Of life will take it's place
throughout the world Under that
dispensation man will become once
more the natural prey, body and
goods. of his better-armed neighbor.
Women will be the mere instrument
for continuing the breed; the vessel
| of mans lust and mans cruelty; and
labor will become a thing to be
knocked on the head if it dares to
give trouble. and worked to death il
! it does not. And from this order OF

Curta;]n,ent of Milk
Supply Threatens Health
of Children of Nation

Washington. March 20.-One Of
the most disastrous effects which can
come from the world war and one
which threatens the future life of the
nation is the curtailment of the milk
supply for children, says a bulletin
just issued by the children's bureau
of the United States department of
labor Milk is described as the indis-
pensable food for children and when
ever the milk supply is limited the
life and health Of the people is i'm
periled.
The probable effect of the war on
the health and welfare of our child
rem is best learned from the expert
ence of the European countries. It
is to avert such conditions as now ex-
ist in Europe that the children's bu-
reau of the labor department is
pointing out the necessity of increas-
ing and conserving the milk supply.
In order to supply food to the al
lies this country must prepare to
feed an ever increasing number This
can be done in two ways-by in
creased production or by decreased
use of food. Food may be saved by
eating less, by substitution, or by
elimination OF waste. None of these
methods will impair the health of the
adult. But the child cannot have it's
food curtailed. Neither is it wise to
attempt, except in the case of cereals
substitution of foods, asserts the
children's bureau.
Before the war the United States
imported large quantities of milk
products from the northern Europ-
can countries. Likewise our allies
and particularly England and Bel
GUM depended to large extent for
dairy products from these countries.
Now this supply is completely shut
off. The United States is compelled
to not only give up its imports but
must be large exporter of these
commodities to the allies.
According to the bulletin of the
bureau, the existing situation de-
| mands that the number of mich
COWS must be increased in this coun-
| try or the entire world will face the
calamity of milk shortage. The grow
| ing demands on the country for milk
production has not been men by a
correspon ding increase in dairy
herds. The per capita milk produc-
| ton in the United States is now only
| about one quart including that used
for all purposes. 1t has not increased
since 1900 and. unless imm ediate
steps are taken to augment and con.
serve the dairy idustry, it will fall
rapidly.
| In Europe the mich cow has been
| sacrificed on account of the scarcity
Of meat and the inability to get fod.
| der. Similar conditions, it is assert.
| ed, now threaten the dairy industry
I in this country and, unless radical
measures are taken to prevent it, the
| same situation will obtain. 1t is ar
astonishing fact the department bull
letin shown, that the price of feeG
has increased recently from 100 tt
| 200 per cent while the price of mill
has advanced not more than 20 pei
| cent AS a war measure immediate
action is imperative to save and fur
Their the country's dairy industry.

HUNS GET RoUMAN1AN GRAIN.
Empire Receives 100000 Tons and
Austria-Hungary $4,000

New York, March 2o.-Since the
occupation Of Rumania Germany has
received from that territory 100000
tons Of grain, including corn. and
Austria Hungary, $4,000 tons This
statement is made in dispatch
from the official Wolff Bureau dat
ed Berlin and published in the Ger
man newspapers of January 80,
which have been received here.
Apparently the dispatch was sent
out to meet misleading reports re-
garding the available supplies from
and Italy, the dispatch pointing out
that Italy could not be considered as
a factor as regards the expectation
of foodstuffs and fodder. The dis
patch says:
There have been repeated reports
in the domestic and foreign press re-
garding the distribution between
Germany and Austria-Hungary of
the supplies of the occupied Rou-
manian and Italian territory, which
reports are commented on variously
according to the respective political
tendency of the newspapers.
An explanation, therefore, seems
in order. AS regards Italy, exporta-
lions of foodstuffs and fodder can
not be reckoned with, as the supplies
available there are no longer suffi-
cient to feed the Italian population
From Roumania, since the occupa-
ton, Germany has received 1000
and Austria Hungary $4,000 tons
of grain, including corn. For the cor
rect appreciation Of these figures i,
is necessary to consider that the ra.
ito of population of Germany and
Austria-Hungary is as to 5, and
that in peace times Germany must
import 100000 tons of grain, in.
Guiding corn, while Austria Hungary
has no imports worth mentioning OIL

plies of raw materials and products

and Italian regions are allotted t.

FAITH IN CONCRETE SHIPS.
Engineer Wig Says They Soon Will
Be "Filling the Ocean,"

Engineer wig says Iney soon VIII
Be "FiIling the Ocean,"
After p close study Of the rein
forced concrete ship Faith, which
was launched successfully last
Thursday, chief engineer Wig of the
department OF concrete construction
of the United States emergency fleet
corporation said today he believed
the new type of vessel might prove
to be such a vital war measure that
it soon would be filling the ocean,
The question of durability, he
said. remained to be determined, but
at the least, it would exceed the
term of the war. Quick construction
in cheap yards was an advantage, he
thought, that probably would lead
to construction of concrete ships on
a large scale.
No fear. he said was entertained
of the seaworthiness of the concrete
ship. It's durability depended upon
the effect of sea water on the con-
crete. and to guard against danger
in that direction he recommended
that coating of some kind nigh,
be used effectively.
Since the launching of the Faith
he said, the vessel had not leaked
! a drop.

Wa,. Diet WeakenS School Girls.
Patriotism has caused pupils IN
the girls high schools of Phlladel-
phia to become victims of malnutrl-
ton through false ideals Of food
conservation. according to J. Eugene
Baker, principal of the girls nor
NAL school, He based his assertion,
made before a conference Of prlnci-
pals az the school yesterday after
noon. upon a series of food tests by
Dr. Caroline Croasdale, member
of the faculty.
About the same time Prof.
Charles H. LAVAL, chemist for the
state dairy and food department,
made an equally startling assertion
regarding false food conservtion be-
fore the dairy, food and drug offl-
Gals association. He said that some
substitutes largely used and highly
praised for their nutritive values are
"ridiculously low in caloric values.
Mr.. Baker said the charts of five
tests by Doctor Croasdale showed
that girls, under stress Of the food
conservation campaign, were con-
Stunning from one-third to one-fourth
less than the normal amount of ca
tories, although the food was as
heavy as that used in normal times.
He added that even under normal
conditions it was not natural for
young persons, especially girls. to
consume more food than they re-

The principal further asserted
that he had not noticed any marked
mental alertness to indicate that
consuming less than the normal
amount of food had a beneficial eff

age.
Professor La Wall, referring to
egg substitutes, said:
The amount of substitutes direct
ed to be used makes the nutritive
value ridiculously low in compari-
son with real eggs. a twenty-five
cent package is advertised as being
equivalent to three to five dozen
eggs, but the best of them are not
equal to one dozen eggs in nutritive
value. while some equal only half
dozen eggs.

MONEY RESTORED TO PRINCESS,

Roman Civil Courts Renew War Mem
cries of Middle Ages.
! Rome. March 3.-War memories of
the middle ages have been renewed
among the princely houses of italy by
the recent decision of the Roman civil
courts condemning the old and fam
Gus families of Corsini and Barberini
| to restore to the young daughter of the
Prince of Sciarra property rights. in
voiving a large money income, vested
in the ancient order of the knights or
Malta.
Except among noble or Catholic fam
lilies the very existence of the militant
religious order of the Knights of NAL
Ia had been forgotten here, yet the de-
cision of the court has shown that
large properties still are in the posses
sion of this order founded many cen
turtles ago at Jerusalem and which sue
cessiyely controlled the islands of
Rhodes and Malta until driven out by
Napoleon.
The lawsuit was brought by Prince
Maffeo Sciarra in the interest Of his
daughter. Formerly himself one of the
richest princes of Rome, he had become
SO impoverished that he undertook sew
eral years ago the selling of automobile
insurance in order to earn a living. In
his misfortune he remembered that his
family had once been prominent in the
Knights of Malta.
Then he discovered that owing to
the great wealth Of his own father and
grandfather they had probably neg
lected handsome income of $4,000 or
SIC. 900 a year due as heirs of a Knights
Of Malta title, an income which for the
past hundred years had been enjoyed
by his relatives of the princely houses
of Corsini and Barberini. Prince Solar

Disorders in Berlin During Last

New York, March 20.-Serious
disorder attended the general strike
in Berlin during the last week of
January and the first few days of
February, according to German
newspapers of that period received
here 9
For time the trolley car service
was interrupted in various parts of
Berlin because the strikers had re-
peatedly cut the wires. Street car
passengers were attacked, women
conductors were abused-strikers
throwing stones at the women and
pulling them from the cars. Traffic
was blocked by strikers who ran cars
into one another at fun speed. Meat
stores were pillaged, bakers were
forced to supply bread without
bread cards.
The strike came as surprise to
the leaders Of the social democratic
party said the Internationale Kor-
respondent, a socialistic organ,
which stated that the party leader
ship had not been consulted regard
ing the strike Later the party lead
ers were requested by the strikers to
assume charge of the strike, which
they did in an endeavor to end the
strike as soon as possible and to see
to it that the interests of labor were
safeguarded.
The strike temporarily paralyzed
all war Industries in Berlin and vic
