producing food? In America the policy
Is to ration from the top down, and
not begin with the poor people.
Lord Rhondda, before resisninS as
British food controller, issued an order
authorizing the English local food con
troll committees to compel the use of
certain amount of potatoes, in the
form of potato mash, in all bread
manufactured for sale or sold within
their districts. Before enforcing this
order, the committees must be satisfied
that bakers generally in their districts
can make such use of potatoes, and
that there arc adequate supplies OF
bofatoes available for this purpose.
Arrangements arc also now being
made to convert q portion of next
years crop of potatoes into potato
flour which will be placed in reserve.
and will not be available for direct
use in the making of bread Potato
bread will continue to he made with
potato mash as al present.

Des Moines, May 14.-It developed.

W. Hallpwell, talked with Food Ad-
ministrator Deems and the Iowa
county food administrators in Des
Moires recently. that Hoover will not
permit the installation OF the European
food card system in this country. When
it was suggested that some Iowa
counties, such as Black Hawk Tama,
Marshall and others. were going to or
already had adopted the card system
as to flour and sugar consumption.
Mr.. .Hallowell advised against the
extension Of the practice. He believes
that Germany's greatest grief after the
war will be due to her card system.
1.-THE rich" he said, get what the
card gives them and much that their
money will buy besides. The poor can
get only what the card permits them.
The result is class hatred that bodies
i'll for the Germany of the future. The
card system is autocratic in It's essen

such system. Besides that how could

U. s. NOW SILK CENTER.
Leads in Manufacture Of Fine Fabrics
as Result of War.


Washington, May 14.-The United
States has become the silk manufac-
turing center of the world as a result
of the war; which has stimulated the
manufacture Of silk here and in the
far east at the expense Of Europe.
A study Of the silk industry. the
first Official inquiry of the kind, has
just been completed by the tariff COM
mission.
Japan continues to lead the world in.
the production of silk. while the United
States, first among the nations in It's
manufacture does not produce single
pound of the material. France con-
tinues the chief European manufac-
turer Of silk and the principal source
of American imports, Japan ranking
second.
The annual requirements of the
American silk industry are 10000 tons
of silk and silk waste, 10000 tons OF
cotton and other yarns. and 1000 tons
of metallic tin for weighing. Most
striking of all the developments due
to the war has ben the expansion OF
the spun-silk industry. The govern
ment is requiring vast amounts OF
coarse silk cloth, made from silk noiL
for making powder bags for the big
guns.
MANY finer varieties Of silk manu-
features are not made in this country
or else are manufactured in very small
Quantities. Switzerland supplies prac-
tically all of the silk boiling cloth
needed by the flour millers of the
world. Hatters plush. from which is
made mems silk hats, comes from
France. Silk lace, silk netting, silk
embroideries vefs and veilings. rib
bons and handkerchief material large
" are imported In all other branches
of the industry. even fine wearing ap-
parel and velvets, the imports are
relatively small compared to- the total
consumption.
Habutai, Of which silk handler
chiefs are made, a soft smooth plain
woven fabric of pure silk. is the

speciality for more than 1000 years.

London, April 15.-Wben the story

and many an enemy submersible has
been accounted for by them.
According to official reports. there
are forty times more mine-sweepers in
commission today in the service of the
allies than in July. 1914.
Recently a fleet OF six. all trawlers,
sighted a mine adrift. The rough sea
prevented the boats from sinking the
mine by gunfire, darkness was COM

mines. The boats were unable to use
their guns on them and as night came

mines were sunk by gunfire, but one
OF the sweepers was lost-how, the re-

the evening Of the fourth day that the
last of the mines was exploded.
The trawler ManN King hauled up
a mine in such a dangerous position
that one horn of the mine came with

another was almost touching the gear.
The slightest roll of the vessel would
have caused it's destruction The
difficulty was met by flashing the NINE

bumped against the side, and experts
were summoned to remove the deton-
atoms from the dangerous prize.

Of the German mass attack recently:
IT have watched several Of these at

NEW ANTI. SEMITIC CAMPAIGN
Jews Defended Against Charges %
Usury and Profiteerina.

Correspondence Associated Press
Stockholm, April PA new anti
Semitic compaign has begun in Ger
many announced the German Assoc
citation for Combating of Anti Sem
itism, which has issued appeals for sup
port, in opposing this new propaganda
against Jews.
"All indications point to the fact that
this anti Semitic movement will be car
ried on in more intensive form after
the end of the war" asserted the Ger
man association. Extensive prepare
tons have been made therefore and
pecuniary resources have been as
sembled."
The appeal defends the Jews against
charges of usury and proflteering dur
ing the war, and declares that the anti
Semites desire to use hatred for Jews
as a means Of upholding the strongly
threatened and >unjustified privileges OF
a small caste against the inevitable
new orientation Of Germany's internal
conditions"
The April number Of the, German
magazine Deutschlands Erneuerune
contains an article by DR.. Erich Kuhn
in which, after discussing the campaign
to obtain modern ELECTORAL franchise
in Prussia, he declares that If the cleo
toral reform be forced upon the state
ut should be provided that only Ger
mans by blood-not merely by citizen
ship-shall be eligible for election. II
must also be so ordered that only pure
blooded Germans of a certain standard
of education shall be permitted to oc-
cupy responsible posts in the press
Finally it must be 50 arranged that ir
all our schools and universities the
spirit of German nationalism shall be
taught only by persons Of national de-
pendableness."
The publishers Of Deutschlands Err
neuerung include the conservative uni
versity professor Won Buelow, President
Glass OF the Pan German Alliance anc
Professor Dietrich Schafer.
There is doubt here that the Associa-
ton for the Combating Of Anti-Sem
ititsm correctly appraises the situation
when it declares that a strong anti
Semitic campaign can be expected II
Germany after1the war. The indtca-
lions are regarded as unmistakable.

America in Arms in Maintain Higher
Law of Justice.

Law Of Justice.
Addressing the graduates OF FRANKLIN
and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa,
last week. James NJ. Beck, Of New
York, former United States assistant
attorney general, said that the cause OF
America in the war has been misstated.
1t is not only a struggle between arts
tocracy and democracy. If 1T involved
only a question of territorial borders
and form of government the war would
not Justify the cost. 1t is recognized,
however, that democracy. even tho I'M
perfect, is the best system for human
society. The speaker continued:
But the problem is higher greater.
This is the hottest and most justifiable
war in which we have ever engaged.
1t is because Of Germany's supreme in
fidelity to the higher law that we en-
tered the war and shall keep in 1T TO
the end.
..The voice Of Germany has been adj
he1ence to the axiom My country. right
or wrong The question of the political
state has been put ahead Of eternal
righteousness. While the world was at
peace Germany was planning war. Her
tactics are those Of the Apache. with
apology to the Indian. Germany has no
higher morals than the mining camp,
with apologies to the camp. for the
camp and caveman recognized the
higher law England and France en-
tered the war for no thought of gain,
and the United States entered in the
same spirit.

war too late, but i do not believe 1t. |
