we have hardly enough to eat our

Through my mind there flashed the
recollection of the logical arguments OF
all those theorists who had spoken so
wisely on The Hague conventions and
the duty of the occupant to nourish the
population.
"Our belts are drawn rather tight"
the count was saying, and he gave a
little laugh as If to cover whatever
embarrassment there was in the ad-
mission.

emergency we should replace the Amer

mind thus the relief might go on.
But now that the long anticipated
emergency had arisen, my solution was
not so simple, That Is the way with
emergencies; try how we will TO pre-

| had never had any illusions as to
that ephemism, the rupture of diplo-
matte relations; it meant war, soon or

that it would be impossible for the
Americans long to remain in Belgium;
they could not safely continue their
work in the enemy country. But for
me there was another complication.
automatically my position was simple
enough; | had only to leave Belgium
and proceed to HaVre, where the Bel
gian government was; but | could not
so and leave the men of the G. r. Is.

the watches of the night and decided
what | should do. Thus, while Harrach
sat there. and after he had gone, I was
turning the old problem over in my
mind; the feeding of the Belgians must
go on, the brave little nation must be
kept alive-and the men of the c. r.
b. must be got out of Belgium.

We rise to register our protest against
taking the charming Ruth Garrison to any
place of confinement where she will be
thrown in contact with degenerate women.
Ruth is a bunch of sweetness and it's
shame to have her converted into bunch
of bitterness as the chad women'' will
succeed in doing. Ruth, in our opinion,
should be sent to Hades, where she would
be free from contamination.
No, as yet Ruth Garrison has not been
given her liberty, but the very next thing
to it, and we here predict that in less than
two years from this date she and Storrs
will be married unless in the meantime
Storrs finds another victim. 1t seems
almost as much impossible to convict a
young woman of murder. though she con-
fesses to having committed the offence. as

Norway must have been disarmed all
