Mr.. FORTS ADDRESS

Hon Franklin Fort IT,. son OF Governor Fort Of
New Jersey and of Food Administrator Hooyers
most able assistants delivered what was. in many
resnects one OF the most remarkable addresses ever
heard here. Almost wholly lacking in the fire. and
eloquence of orator and speaking nearly always
In a level even voice that was almost matterof- .
fact in ts calm and collected enunciation, Mr. Fort
YET drew such vivid picture of conditions as they
exist as TO hold his hearers in the most rap atten
ton
II WIS a notable fact that Mr., Fort, VINO spoke
for one hour and Is minutes interrupted
once by applause The only burst OF approval thar
came from his hearers was at the close OF his ad
dress And this fact alone remarkable trib
ME TO his earnest convincing and analytical de
scripton OF his subject-"Food as a Weapon OF
War" The people listened to him TOO closely to
interrupt his even, incisve critical story OF what
must be done by the American people to help their
allies across the sea. They were too much inter
esed In the message he brought from the Wash
ngton government to even think OF applause AND
throughout what might have otherwise been a dry
and tedious discourse, the audience sat under the
spell of his level even terms and drank them in as
they might not have absorbed even the most fiery
oratory.
Love of Country Like Religion.
He said that be was glad TO speak upon sub
ject that was as appropriate to church as any
other place OF meetng--upon subject which might
fttiney be preceded by prayer from minister Of
God He declared that the love OF country was like
leligsn in rs spiritual attributes, and that the ba-

V
London, March MILITARY men
are taking Faried views OF the report
from Copenhagen that the high com
mand OF the German army invited
neutral correspondents to leave Ber-
lin today for the western front to
Witness ''the beginning of the Ger
man offensive
One OF the chief possibilities point
ed out was that the report was I'M
true. and that the German high com
mand had not issued any such inyi.
tation at all. However, some took
the view that such an invitation had
been issued, but that the Germans
we're bluffing. and did not intend to
start any offensive at all. Belief is
widespread among military experts
that Germany will remain upon the
defensive irN the west, at least for
sumo time, and that ii any big drive
is undertaken it will be launched by
the allies themselves.
