THE HUNGRY HUN.

Herbert Hoover, who has taken
mp headquarters in London as food
administrator for the allies, says:
1--WE have turned the corner at
last. During the past twelve months
the United States has exported lO,-
100000 tons OF food to the allies.
During the next twelve months we
can export 2l,000.000 tons, includ-
ing 100000 tons from Canada
Thanks to the enterprise of our
farmers and Stock-raiscrS and the
economy of our consumers, we have
the food. Thanks to the energy of
our shipbuilders, we have the ships.
There is enough shipping now to
supply the soldiers. There will soon
be enough to transport everything
our civilian allies need. The U-bOat
is no longer menace.
I'm contrast with this fine out
look says Mr. Hoover hunger is
the dominating fact with the enemy
Their loss of lives through malnu-
triton this year will be larger than
all the casualties OF the western
'front.'"
There is no doubt of it. The food
situation in the central empires is
growing desperate. The German
meat ration is being reduced to SIX
ounces a week in the cities and that
quantity is uncertain. The potato
allowance is only one pound 4 week
Berliners are getting one egg each
per month. There IS not enough food
in Rumania to feed the natives. The
UkrainianS have raised only sui
hcient for their own needs. In none
OF the provinces overrun by Ger
many is there any help. German
crops are tragically small, owing tC
drouth and frost. Austria Hungary
cannot feed herself.
The food situation is better ever
than the military situation. Nature
so long neutral, at last has joineC
the allies.

SHOTGUNS AND GERMANS

One OF the many grievances
against Americans that the Ger
mans have developed lately is based
on the reported use OF sawed-off
shotguns by our troops.
There doesn't seem to be any Of
iicial testimony as to whether Per
shing's army is using this weapon
or not; but it is certainly concciv-
able that an abbreviated double bar
relied shotgun might do valiant ex-
ecuton in shart range trench shoot
ing. The German indignation, in
fact seems to be due TO this very
effectiveness.
1t is a barbarouS implement, our
Hun critics say, which no "honora-
Vie fighters would think of using.
II is a weapon for barbarians.
This characteristic Teutonic bleat
is intended to show us unmistak-
ably where we get off" in the kul-
iured opinion OF central Europe. But
we refuse to be impressed. Try as
we may, we cannot figure out why
SnOtRun SHouid ne any "olSe tHdi
poison gas, liquid fire, aerial torpe-
does and other ingenious innova-
tions made by the gentle Germans
in this war.
We cannot even see that load
of buckshot fired at 10 yards is any
worse than a shrapnel fired at l,0OC
Yards. The ingredients are about
the same and meant for the same
purpose. Certainly if shotguns will
kill Huns with greater effectiveness
than any of the more conventional
weapons used in the battle zone, we
are for them We are accustomed
anyway to using buckshot for beasts
and burglars.

A PEWTER EMPEROR

We are getting many odd side
lights on the character OF Kaiser
Wilhelm, quite aside from the SELF
revelation OF his war speeches and
messages. One OF the most interest
ing and characteristic exposes has
to do with trophies given by VII
hel, as prizes in international sport
ing events.
The New York Yacht Club has
a gorgeous cup presented by the
kaiser on the occasion Of celebrat-
ed victory. a cup always supposed
to be OF pure gold and worth about
$500. On careful inspection, II
has been found 10 be made OF pew
ter. ihinly gilded, and worth not
more than SIS.
4 similar discovery has been made
regarding the famous gold cup
he gave IN lSg7 as first prize for Z
big European motor race. The Fia'
Company OF Turn. which won tbs
cup. believed il was worth SlO.DOO
and in that belief recently offerec

war contribution. When il went C

lie considers himself a great genus.
The German people believe he is a
great genius. Sometimes outsiders
are fooled, temporarily, into think,
ing so, too. In his speeches and
writings a superficial observer might
find what seemed indubitable signs
OF real greatness. But every time
when you get beneath the surface,
when YOU read a speech the second
time. when you study the thing
calmly and jndicially, without tax
ing Wilhelms' word or anybody
clses's word for it, you find that 1t
is not the real thing. The word or
the deed is base metal gilded. Viii

POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS

W. B. Price, one OF the candi-
dates for the Democratic nomina-
tion for United States senator III
Nebraska. in his statement to the
voters announces that he tavors
Government ownership of railroads.
telegraph lines and express COM
panies. abolition OF the liquor tra''
fic equal suffrage for woTen and
exclusion of foreign language IN the
nublic school system. He declares
that the public ownership qucst'oh
;s of vital Importance at this time,
and if he is selected to represent
the people in the senate, he viii 40
all in his power to make the present
government control extend 20 own
ership.
1t is significant that the Republi-
can party in New York, the doini-
nant party in Americas most pop
ulous state, comes out squarely ior
suffrage and urges its representa-
tives in the senate to support the
Susan B. Anthony resolution. Ihis
command was hurled at Senators
Wadsworth and Calder by the plat-
form of their party just accepted !;
we emphatically call upon the
Irnited States senators from New
York to vote for the submission oi
this amendment to the states. Both
are anti-suffragists.
The term OF state senator IS
generally longer than that OF rep
resentative, although in Is states
II is the same. In two-thirds OF
the states senator's are elected tor
four years. while the usual term ioi
representatives is two years. Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island are th'
only states that elect both senators
and representatives annually.
There is another candidate for th'
! Democratic nomination for senator
| in Missouri besides Whitley an'
Folk. although little about him h1'
been heard thus far in the cam
paign. lie is John 6. lligdon, and
| his residence is given on the oiii
I eial ballot as Blue Grass Hotel, -
Louis.
Senator James Hamilton Levi
has been indorsed for reelection by
the Democratic state committee o
Illinois upon a platform that spe
officially commended all representa-
iives in congress who have sioo'
behind the president during the las
two years.
Ohio's primary will be held Aug
|, IlS. Later the state conventions WI
. DC held. While there IS a bitter con
test among the Republicans tor pTi
mary nominations. there : no con
test whatever among the Demo
, crais and no primary campaign
! being waged.
