AS the Sun" sees it, Germany seal
ed her doom on that August 4th four
years ago when she struck Belgium
with the foul thrust of a coward and
the deliberate mistake of fool.
1t was undoubtedly this revelation
of her faithlessness to treaties and
her brutal contempt of honor and right
that brought most of the twenty-three
enemy nations into the lists against
her. 1t brought in England, and Italy,
Greece, Portugal and other nations
followed. Had not England thrown
her sword into the scale, the Prussians
would have triumphed in the short,
decisive conflict they had planned
Probably no intelligent person in
Germany or elsewhere now doubts
that she has lost the war; and Herr
Bernhard, one of her highest econom-
ic authorities, computes that at the
end of this year her direct financial
burden will be Al billion dollars. The
interest on this sum will be more than
the nation ever raised in any year of
peace, even when her prosperity
touched the highest mark.
In his latest despairing pronuncia-
mento, which shows hopelessness as
read between the lines, the Kaiser
tells his people that their enemies do
not yet want pace. There is the usual
attempt at bravado about winning it.,
but it lacks confident tone It is only
a weak echo of his boundless AFRO
gance of former years. No one can
say how and when the end is coming.
But all the world now knows that it
is not coming through German tri-
umph; and every week increases the
probability that this campaign of 1918
will see the practical collapse of mill
tarism or bring it in sight-New York
Sun.

LEADING HOTELS CUT
WHEAT OFF ALL MENUS

Washington, March 29.-Wheat and
wheat products were wiped off the
menus of several hundred of the coun-
try's leading hotels today in response
to a request of the food administra-
ton that "every independent, every
well-to-do person in the United
States," should pledge complete alb
stinence from wheat until next har-
vest in order to supply the impera-
tive needs of the Allies.
Hotel managers assembled here
from every state were told by Food
Administrator Hoover that the need
for wheat is even greater now than
when the new regulations were pro-
mulgated, and that census revealed
that the harvest had been less than
estimated, that shipping difficulties
made it imperative to feed the allies
from here instead Of from the Ar
gentine. It is impossible to ship corn,
so that wheat must be Americas chief
contribution to the rations of the al
lied peoples abroad.
