"It. is not because our Government asks too much of us that we seem to have lost respect for !t, but because it askV too little. If the Government were to demand one year of every man's life in service to it, there would be instilled into every man's being a respect'for that Government which most men now never, learn." Woman's Home Companion. ; " v - " 1 The Forces that Are Forcing My PeaceJ: ; The New York American has repeatedly during the war made forecasts that have been proved by subsequent developments. Just now the American opines that the disappearance of the food reserves all over the world and the prospect of certain famine next year if the war. continues,

and the revolutionary aspirations ot tne UiUro-. pean masses, wiU bring about an early peace, possibly before June. t In its discussion of the reserve food supply of the world, the American says : The meat supply of Europe and America is very deficient now, but with severe economy and enough meatleas days, such as are now in force in England, France, the Central Empires. Italy and Russia, the world could skimp through this year. But the huge reserve stocks, canned and in storage all over the world against just such times as these, are totally exhausted. The armies have eaten them. The breeding supply is steadily going to the slaughter pens. If the war should last through this year, even the armies would have meatless days and the civilian peoples would have no meat at all. The bread supply is in far worse condition than the meat supply. Flour for bread can be made, in some form, of wheat, corn, rye, oats and potatoes. - - . The exact conditions we do not know, but the French Minister of Agriculture informed the Assembly eight weeks ago that the allied countries required for their actual necessities, to carry them through this year, 360,000,000 bushels of wheat alone, in addition to their stocks on hatM. This supply would, have to come from the United States and from Argentina and neither has a bushel to "Argentina's supply become, so exhausted that the Government has enforced. an embargo, and will not allow

. The wheat on hand in the United States is barely sufficient to cirry us through until the next harvest is milled in September. In ordinary years, we have in re

serve at -this time about 250,000,000 bushels. We have in reserve now less than 100,000,000 bushels. That is why wheat prices have reached $2.15 and are still mounting, with bread prices steadily climbing. The world is at least one billion bushels short of its necessary wheat supply, and nowhere is the wheat' grow-

lug lci inane up iuio ivn-w Corn we alone grow on a great scale. Our present

supply is 780.000,000 bushels, as against an ordinary reserve of 1,000.000,000 bushels. We have no corn to spare Europe, and Europe has no other source of supply. The supply of oats on hand in April, 1916, was about 600,000,000 bushels. Today it is 895,000,000 bushels. Europe can get no more oats from us this year. - The potato supply is in the worst condition of all. In average years Great Britain, Canada, Germany, France and the United States produce 3,000,000,000 bushels of potatoes. Their total production during the past year was 1,600,000,00 bushels. The average price of potatoes in the Spring of 1915 was 43 cents a bushel. Today the average price is $2.40. ( : Europe needs one billion bushels of potatoes to feed its neonles durine the comine months, and the United

States 'cannot spare another bushel. , There will hardly be enough for seed as it is. j- '- As .far as the minor necessities are concerned, such

foods as sugar, milk, butter and the like have become luxuries in Europe, out of the reach of the masses in anything like usual use. .

The simnle truth is that the .civilized world, after

three years of destruction, has no' food reserves, and un

less the millions of men under arms, are put back on the

farms, Europe will starve next year. We do not mean

that Europe will simply be hungry. We mean that it will STARVE that millions of men and women and children

will die of famine. v.

Referririir to the revolutionary spirit, the

American says: - ' ' In addition to the food shortage v . . and as a di

rect result of that shortage , . , the- mas&es of Europe

are seething with revolutionary . sentiment. The exam

ple of the Russian revolution has had a profound effect upon other peoples. The. torch lighted in Petrograd has set fire to all Europe.. ,. The peoples of. England, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Austria are-all ripe for revolt. They will be in revolution before long if the war

continues. Human nature has reached the limit of its

endurance.

The common people no longer reverence their rulers

or their privileged classes, and, what is more to the point

they no longer fear them. Practically every able-bodied

man in Europe is now a veteran soldier and has arms

There are no standing armies to cow the people, because the people themselves are the armies. The. spirit of liberty i3 abroad, not whispering furtively of hope and freedom, tut boldly proclaiming the eternal truth of liberty and equality under the laws to applauding millions of men who have guns and bayonets with which to make good their aspirations and purposes. Nothing is more certain than that this . new resolve and this new power of democracy have powerfully impressed the rulers and the privileged classes in favor of peace at any sacrifice. We see this strikingly demonstrated right, now in Prussia, where the Kaiser is now backing up BethmannHollweg's declaration in favor of democratic political institutions in Prussia, to correspond with the more liberal institutions in other States of the German Empire. We frequently hear the statement that the German Empire is an autocracy and the German Emperor an autocrat, but that is far from the truth. It is not so far from the truth, however, when said of the' Kingdom of Prussia and the King of Prussia. - The electoral and other political reforms which are about to democratize Prussia and make that leading State of the German Empire very much a counterpart of England's liberal monarchy ought to render peace much easier to negotiate, if it is indeed true that the allies are waging war against Prussian institutions. With the new reforms those institutions will automaticically vanish, and with them will vanish the object of the war, if the Allies' own declarations are sincere. A proclamation of liberal government in Prussia, followed by a bona-fide invitation to a peace conference, might very easily meet the approval of all the war-weary governments, and would certainly be in strict accordance with all our own declarations and tentative offers. We suspect that the world will hear Just such a proclamation and such an invitation in a very few days, and it will not surprise use a bit if peace negotiations are under way before the flowers of the May-month have faded. We do, indeed, believe that peace i3 near at hand. And if the preliminary step is the democratization of Prussia, and. of Austria, and the, firm establishment of free government in Russia, the world may agree . that, after all, the war was worth Its cost.

MUSICAL NOTES OF RICHMOND

MacDowell ruled favorite in Richmond's musical life yesterday. His "Dance of . the Gnomes' was presented before the Music Study Club yesterday morning at the High school by a sextette, composed of Mrs. Charles Igelman, Mrs. E. E. Meyer, Mrs. Fred J. Bartel.; Mrs. O. C. Krone, Mrs. William H. Romey and Mrs. W. J. Smith. ; At the Domestic Science Association's meeting yesterday afternoon at Mrs.' Paul Comstock's home an ex-, elusive MacDowell program was given. H It is particularly fitting at this time when national forces are unifying that the work of this greatest of American masters should be given the prominence it justly deserves. ' One of the most elaborate programs ever attempted in Chicago is to be given in the Chicago Music Festival beginning April 24. r - The Chicago Symphony, which is well known in Richmond for its concert here last season, will give Man. ler's "Symphony of a Thousand," the Eighth with an orchestra augmented

from ranks of eminent soloists in the Middle West, members of other note orchestras and stalwarts of the Chicago Opera orchestra Miss Frieda Hempel. will be soloist at one performance of ' the-orchestra. A Wagnerian program is to be given on Friday of Festival week with Margarete Matzenauer,- Lambert Murphy and Clarence. Whitehill as soloists. f. ..." V ' t ' .
