FEEDING EUROPE.

A so-called "hunger map" published
by the food administration, indicates
that the countries Of Europe with the
exception Of Germany, which is
marked "unclassifed," are suffering,
in various degrees, from food short
age, and the matter accompanying the
map says it will be necessary for the
United States to furnish 20,OOO,O0O
tons Of foodstuffs in order to, relieve
the situation. From our point of view
it does not seem right that we should
either feed the nations that were enc
mics during the war or professed neu-
trails which supplied these enemies
with food and thus exhausted their
own supplies. Feeding them will mean
no other than increasing the almost
prohibitive prices which now obtain
in the United States. Hence, we say,
let both the nations with which we or
our allies were at war and the pseudo
neutrals who impoverished their stores
of commodities to supply the kaiser
work out their own salvation.
On the other hand let us furnish the
allies with all the food we can posi-
bly, spare even unto cutting down our
consumption to the minimum.

$4,000 Horsepower Airplane.

S,UUU horsepower All p1dHc.
It was announced on November II,
at the annual meeting Of the Aero
club of America, that Gianni Caproni,
the famous Italion airplane construc-
tor, is planning to construct a cruiser
of the heavier than air type with
number of motors aggregating $4,000
horsepower. The armistice having
lifted the ban on discussion Of coming
aeronautic developments, the trans
atlantic flight committee Of the Aero
club of America, of which Henry A.
Wise Wood is chairman, made known
the fact that there are several air
planes already being designed, each
to be equipped with 5000 horsepower.
Caproni has one such machine, and it
was in connection with the discussion
of this type that it became known that
Caproni has an $4,000 horsepower air
cruiser under consideration, which will
be capable Of carrying a large num-

A plan has been set in motion to
prohibit the display Of the red flag and
bill introduced in the senate to that

New of Indiana said "the red flag is

given their all on the battlefefds Of
France, and men who raise any other
flag than that of the United States
are traitors to their country" Sym
bolic, as it is, Of anarchy and revolu-

The Reason for Hanks Devotion
Interesting little items trickle into
the National Republican from time to
time giving first news of administra-
tive extravaganza, For instance this
paper is advised on good authority
that among the vast stores Of stuff
the government has accumulated at
Atlanta are 800 Ford cars, new, and
out in the weather, and parts enough
to put up complete over twice this
number, along with vast quantities of
other material, for instance several
carloads of axes. Probably the axes
are there to be used in chopping up the
Fords. This being true of Atlanta it
may be assumed that similar condi.
tions prevail in other centers. The
number of Ford cars on hand may help
explain Henry's fervid devotion to the
