Congress and The Tuscania Incident The destruction of the American transport came at a time when the American people were insistently demanding that our war leaders, tell us exactly what has been done toward putting a trained and well equipped army in France. The first flush of excitement following the voting of millions of dollars of war credits, the mobilization of our soldiers and the raising of funds for the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. has disappeared in a call for an accounting of the stewardship of our leaders. ' Congressional committees were probing a falling down of our military activity when the news of the sinking of the Tuscania was flashed across the continent.

The loss of this transport will accelerate our war spirit. If some dreamed of an early peace, their slumbers received a rude shock. If others believed the United States could take her good natured time in preparing for the'German offensive, they learned that our foe never overlooks an opportunity to strike hard and unexpectedly. If some believed that the stories of the sinking of Red Cross and hospital steamers were exaggerations, their faith proved a disappointment.

Both government officials and private citizens have proof now that we are dealing with a foe who still is undefeated, and who has not departed from the barbarous program of winning at all costs, even if that includes the forsaking of every rule of civilized warfare and of decency. The Tuscania incident demonstrates with positive proof that Germany intends to carry out her policy of ruthless warfare to the grim end. This is the program which we must defeat. The loss of the transport calls on America to speed up her war preparations. If there is inefficiency and red tape in Washington bureaus, eliminate it at once. We have dallied long enough. The people have backed, the government with money and loyalty. They demand that Congress introduce remedial measures at once. The people don't care now who was responsible for the blundering. They want the mistakes corrected. They want

their confidence in the military establishment restored. They do not care for further investigations. They want the assurance that a new system has been inaugurated that will prevent blunders. Congress represents the will of the people. The will of the people today is that this war be hurried to a glorious conclusion. They have given their money and their sons for this cause. They want results, or at the next congressional election they will send men to Washington who will carry out their wishes. The candidate who goes before the people with the slogan, "Hurry things to win the war," is the man who is going to Congress. The Tuscania incident has not dampened the ardor of the people for the war. They expect transports to be lost. They expect thousands of our young men to fall in France and Belgium. But they also expect Congress to eliminate the appaling efficiency that has been disclosed in the last four weeks. They want action, and if the present Congress does not respond, other representatives will be elected to carry out this expressed and determined will of the people.

serve wheat on interdicted days and boasts of the performance, disgraces herself and is a reproach to her family. The power of the police cannot reach these traitors, because the present food recommendations ask only for voluntary compliance. Food Administrator Hoover went on the theory that Americans did not need a policeman's cudgel to enlist support in his measures to save the country from a calamity. The only power that can reach them is the denunciation and contempt of their neighbors. If this is applied with rigour, food traitors will be ashamed to show themselves and will quickly make amends. No one need question the wrath of public opinion. It makes itself felt with such poignancy that the guilty person cannot escape. The treasury department recently adduced the following figures to show the importance of conserving food on days set aside for this purpose: "Taking the family of five as a unit for the average family in America, the saving of the pound of bread and butter and "sugar and meat means a saving of more than 20,000,000 pounds of bread, butter, sugar and meat a week. There are 2,000 pounds in a ton, and 20,000,000 pounds make 10,000 tons. A fair-sized merchantman or freighter will carry 10,000 tons. Thrift in the

kitchen means that four 10,000-ton freighters laden with four important articles of food for an army could be sent abroad every week. It is easy to see what an important item this would be in the feeding of our forces 'over there.' "There is another angle to this thrift in the kitchen, which is just as important to the success of the war. Bread, butter, sugar and meat cost money. I think we all have had the fact

brought home to us. Let the loaf of bread represent a saving of ten cents, the butter a saving of fifty cents, the sugar a saving of a dime, and the meat a saving of thirty cents, making a total of a dollar saved each week. If each of the 20,000,000 families in the United States saved a dollar a week in the kitchen and that money were invested in Government securities, the Government would have available $20,000,000 a week. And no one would feel the pinch of the saving."

Then I tell them how the separation allowance of $25 a month ia paid, and how the funds affiliated with the Canadian Patriotic Fund are administered by devoted women and through Chapters of the American Red Cross.

The Dog Nuisance The annual statements of expenditures by the township trustees of Wayne county show an appalingly large sum of money paid for sheep, pigs and chickens killed by dogs. In a period of our history when food and wool are of tremend

ous importance the slaughter of sheep and pigs

by dogs is a calamity. , Farmers complain that they cannot co-operate with the government in sheep production unless they have protection against sheep-killing dogs. We suggest that farmers organize dog hunts and kill off hundreds of homeless dogs in Wayne county. A dog that acts as watchman for a farm house, or one that is trained to guard sheep, occupies a useful place in the community. Hundreds of dogs in Wayne county serve no good purpose at all, excepting to eat food that that might well be used for the support of human beings. Richmond has a supply of mongrels and curs that ought to be shot. The State Council of Defense has appointed a committee to confer with the attorney general on the best method of eradicating sheep-killing dogs. Wayne county farmers and the County Coucil of Defense might agree on a. method that would rid thiai community of the nuisance.

From the Kansas City Star.

ROM a trustworthy Scandinavian source this infor

mation has reached The Star about conditions in

Germany:

Economic conditions in Gennany are probably now worse than they have ever been before. Coal and fats are only obtainable in very limited quantities. At the best it

would take months before the situation could be relieved by supplies from Russia. By March or April, then, the

situation should become what is commonly termed "in

But we have learned that the German people

"tolerate" desperate conditions. So far, so fierce is the

flame of their patriotism, that they are willing to live un

der conditions which just hold body and soul together in

order that their fathers and brothers in the field may be

well fed. No more reliance is to be plated in reports of Ger many's economic break-down than in the reports that industrial strikes would force an ending of the war.

It is possible that the German nation some day may break under the strain. But it would be the worst of

folly to count on such an outcome. The only break that

can be made sure of is the break that overwhelming military superiority will make in the German battle line.
