The Starvation Strike
4 Bolsheust Experiment in Suicide
By Stanley Frost

do not need public support, since the
power of labor is so great that other
opinion may be entirely disregarded But
between these two pressures--and some of
the leaders have babies Of their own-they
began an immediate strategic retreat on
the starvation strike scheme
The Succoring Motor
The history of the rest of the hunger
strike is the story Of attempts to limit
supplies to the strikers and to use
control Of them, which remained with the
strike committee, to win back the popular
support that had been lost. Each move
failed, for different reasons, and each
added to the evidence that the starvation
strike had proved a boomerang in the
hands Of its directors.
1t became evident in the first place that
those least affected by hunger were the
capitalists and upper middle classes,
against whom the starvation strike was
particularly aimed-a condition that would
be true in varying degree in every city.
In Winnipeg all people with moro than
a rich farming country stretches almost
to the doors of the city. For these people
it became simple matter to scour the
countryside and bring back not only milk,
but whatever else might become necessary
The strikers filled the roads with glass
and nails, but this had little effect-the
well-to-do were reasonably we'll fed and
their babies did not suffer.
Strikers Chief Sufferers
1t was the lower middle class that had
to bear the brunt, and it shortly became
evident that the we'll to-do were providing
so far they could for this class, which
left the strikers themselves the chief suf-
ferers and did not help the leaders posi-
ton either with public opinion or with
their own followers.
Even in New York this would be true to
some extent, though here the line of suf-
fering would certainly pass through
better financed class than in Winnipeg.
The starvation strike started on May 15
BY the 10Th it was over. The strikers
gained by it nothing but good deal of
vigorous unpopularity.
In the first week in June, when the
strike leaders were feeling definitely that
their forces were going to pieces behind
them and they were grasping at every des-
perate expedient to stave off approaching
defeat, second attempt at hunger strike
was made. This time only milk and bread
were involved. But by this time, too, the
citizens committee thoroughly or
ganized. Acting under authority from the
city government, men recruited from it
opened milk depots in every schoolhouse in
the city, with bread stores alongside.
There was no discrimination against
strikers; there was no distress whatever.
and within thirty-six hours every one in
the city was getting milk as usual, though
at the cost Of fetching it themselves.
With this the starvation strike was
definitely abandoned.

CANTEElI AT FRONT FOR
AMERICAN BIRD MEN,

American flying men in France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result of a
request for such service that has been
received from General Patrick, Chief
OF the Air Service. Because of the
necessity of keeping aviators over
seas in the very best mental and
physical condition for their hazardous
work officials OF the aviation branch Of
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided by
the ordinary canteen.
In compliance with the request the
Red Cross is establishing special COM
bination mess and recreation canteens
al all points in France where our avi-
atorS, either students or officers, are
stationed. Extra comforts and atten-
ton Will be provided for our bird
men" at these canteens. They Will be
presided over by American women OF
intelligence and cheerful personality,
whose chief duty viii be to create as
much home atmosphere as possible in
the circumstances
The American Red Cross is TO have
sole charge of these aviation canteens

ASK THE SOLDIERS.

That the soldiers, sailors and ma
ftnes are deeply appreciative of the
canteen service of the American Red
Cross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote of their
appreciation is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send TO
tire folks back home" when en- route
to points Of embarkation. From a
dozen picked up ut random the follow
ing sentiments were taken and speak
for themselves -
Red Cross are sure treating us
great en- route"
Red Cross are sure making II happy
for rs"
support Red Cross in everything"
For Gods sake never say No to
the Red Cross. They're wonderful"
Long live the Red Cross"
THE Red Cross are angels to us the
way they treat us"
'Canteen service 100 per cent. in
Toledo: fifteen carloads of us well
taken care Of"
Red Cross serving coffee. Oh, they
do so much for us -
do all you can for Red Cross-they
do so much for us"

NJ. C. A. furnishes most of the chew
ing gum for our soldiers and sailors
overseas. For one months delivery
recently it ordered 775b tons of Amer
ica's favorite jaw developer
When one speaks OF chewing gum
in tons. the human mind starts to
miss fire and skid. for II takes con-
siderable gum to weigh 1000 pounds.
There are 16.32O.O0O sticks in 771h
tons.
Figuring the length OF a stick OF
gum as three inches, this means AS
100000 inches of gum. Dividing by
II we have 4,OSO.OOO feet of the sue
culent sticks. When you reduce this
to miles you have just plain 771.5
plus
But even more stupendous figures
are to be had when you compute the
number Of "jaw-miles" that this much
gum represents. 1t was found that
the average man of phlegmatic tenn
