Such demon- strations may be expected to become more important and more frequent as spring advarces. It seems likely that the Germans, when they decide to begin, will make attack on a wide section at eygeak point on the line where it would possible for their cide to ce res aig a thin slice of territory.

It is certain that | Germany can hold out, as far as the food supply is concerned, until the new harvest of 1918, but beyond this point no responsible German is prophesy-. ing, though it seems reasonable certain that a total or even partial crop failure this year would prove fatal. There is general agreement with the proposi- tion that Germany cannot be starved out; and yet Germany’s available food supply continues to diminish with the inevitableness and regularity of a iaw of mathematics. Food continues increasingly to be} tell you that it takes them longer to-| the almost all-absorbing and conversation on the part of the | they tire more easily and quickly, German public, until food talk today | that their powers of endurance are amounts almost to a national obses- sion. There is appreciably more food ' talk in 1918 than a year ago. When- ever two or more Germans get to- gether they are very apt to tell each other what they last had to eat, as being the most interesting news of. the day. And food, too, is the leit motif of most private letter writing. Ja the last consignment of infOrma- tion I received from Germany my correspondent featured the fact that he had eaten “‘a glorious hare, with real cream sauce for dinner,’ and therewith some real tea punch. He added that the Berlin restaurants still offered a considerable range of choice of good dishes at reasonable prices. War Workers Dissatisfied. Through ali the food discussion among the masses, however, rings the monotonously uniform note of in- tense and rising dissatisfaction, of almost unbearable hardship and real suffering. This note sounds with particular insistence from among the workers in the war industries, and the attention of the governmental authorities is constantly being drawn to the fact that urgent relief is need- ; ' ' ; lessened. thought | day to do a heavy piece of work, that ' It is a fact that the productive.

WASHINGTON, March 18 (By A, P.).—There is a hundred times as much German property in the United States as there is American property in Germany, according to estimates presented recently to the Senate Committee by A. Mitchell Palmer, Alien Property Custodian. The greater part of American property in Germany is represented in Standard Oil interests. The Ger- man law now enables the German Government to do with American ‘property exactly what Congfess is asked to do with German property in America. The Senate has already passed legislation authorizing the alien enemy property custodian to sell the property holdings of great German organizations in the United States, so that they may not serve as the outposts of kultur after the war.

The increasing ‘delusion of preg- nancy” and the falling birth rate are both characterized by interested spe- cialists as alarming. I have been able to obtain the following authen- tic figures that enable one to trace approximately the sharply falling birth-rate curve. The decrease in the number of living born children in Germany in January, 1915, was only 1 per cent, as compared with January, 1914. In April, 1915, the birth rate had fallen 6 per cent, as against April, 1914. January, 1916, however, shows a sen- sational dec!’ne of 34.7 per cent over January, 1915, the rapidity of the fall being further indicated by the fact that in April, 1916, the decrease was 38 per cent, as compared with April, 1915. The decline cf the birth rate looks even more startling when one com- pares 1917 with the peace half of 1914. The number of live born was 42.6 per cent less in January, 1917, than in January, 1914, and the birth rate dropped 44.8 per cent in| April, 1917, as against April, 1914. These falling birth rate percentages ; are based on the infant mortality statistics of towns and cities of| 15.000 and more inhabitants, and do not take into consideration the small towns and the open country, where more favorable health conditions prevail and where in consequence the birth rate drop may be a few per cent less. Babies Well Provided for. The effect of scant food ratitons on infants is a great questtion in| Germany today. Complaints that | the present legal rations, including | additions allowed by law, are inad- | equate, are loud and frequent from | expectant mothers and _ nursing; mothers of the working classes, bur | the best concensus of opinion is that | these complaints are absolutely_un- founded. ‘The food regulations pro- | vide nursing mothers certain addi- ‘tional food allowances calculated land fixed by scientists and guaran- teed by these authorities to be en- tirely adequate to enable mothers to nurse their infants. Even during the pinch of the) | fourth war winter, nursing mothers | ireceive, in addition to their regu- lar rations, an additional allowance | (of at least seven ounces of pure | \wheat flour weekly, at least) one pound of oatmeal per month, | three-quarters of a quart of milk. and one and a half ounces of beet | sugar daily. German war science | calculating that 2800 calories daily | are the minimum required to enable | a mother to nurse her infant. | This is one of the few really bright | spots in Germany’s food position. The | special and ample provision made for mothers and infants, when ra- | tioning was first introduced, has |} borne fruit in a slight decline in in- | fant mortality. Once born, Gérman | war babies get a fair start in life, | thanks to the paternal care of the! state. Of Germans of all ages, the nursing infant class is said to be the best off; nor does the new-born war babe show any diminution of vital- ity as compared with the peace time new-born. The _ following figures trace the slightly descending infant mortality curve during the war. As typical, may be taken the month of April. Out of 100 living born there died during the first year, 12.4 in April, 1914; 12.6 ih April, 1915; 13.5 in April, 1916, and 12.1 in April, | 1917. ‘ In sharp contyast to the favorable condition of m@¢thers and infants is the sorry state/of the older children. These show the effect of scant ra- tions as does/ no other age class of Germans. It is probable that the ex- periment successfully tried last sum-/| mer of sending city children into the | food provinces will be carried through this year on a wholesale scale, and that hundreds of thousands of city children will be sent out on the land. The Scramble for Food. There is no such thing as a democ- -racy of food in Germany except in theory. Practically all men are not ‘free and equal nor equally ration- bound. Human nature and the old law of supply and'demand, though hamstrung and bound around with several thousand red-tape food regu- lations, still has a kick left in it, and money still talks its old persuasive rhetoric in Germany. There are, ac- | ¢ ; s L3R RS a > a “ eS ae ee ert A ee He’s got a box of Murads in his old kit bag.

There is, in fact, no such thing as voluntary rationing. War food conditions have engendered ,a certain honest primitiveness in con- |temporary Germans; a back-to-the- | instinct-of-self-preservation spirit. It |is not considered bad form or poor | patriotism, except -by some of the , cranks who get left in the shuffle, it! 'is the rule rather, for every one to| | scramble for all the food the law al- |lows him and as much more as he | can lay hands on and pay for. | There is consequently a constant _merry food tug of war for the prize of Germany's small marginal surplus, : a kind of incessant battle royal be- | , tween the Various social classes and | ‘interests, both individually and col- | | lectively, to get next to and cling to | ‘the surplus food trough, accompan- | j ted by a chorus of mutual abuse and | ‘recrimination through the medium | ‘of the party press. _ Best fed and well fed are the milil- | tary, the so-called “Self Providers” | (including large land owners and peasants), the idle rich, the war, profiteers, well-to-do business and. professional classes, favored groups | of specially petted and pampered | ammunition and other war indus- | tries workers, and vilragers and townspeople in the fat food produc- ing provinces. If you must be a Ger- man you will make no mistake to get | into any one of these categories, and | there is little to choose between them | in a food way.

Missouri Building at Camp Funston. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Since the organization of the 354th In- fantry, it has been a matter of great re- gret to us that we have had no Regimental Assembly Building, where officers and men could spend their hours off duty, and where they could properly receive and en- tertain ‘their visiting relatives and friends. Strong Sffort is being made by this Regi- ment of Missourians to erect such a build- ing. Two representatives of this regiment, Capts. Davis and Lincoln, returning from St. Louls, where they had gone to solicit funds for this purpose, report that they were most cordially received by the peo- ple and newspapers of St. Louis; that a committee of St. Louisans has undertaken for the regiment to raise the sum of $25,- 000 necessary for the erection of the build- ing contemplated, and that this subscrip- tion committee is now effectively prose- cuting its work. ‘ This report was received with great en- thusiasm. Thereupon, the undersigned were appointed a committee, and the “com- mittee is d ted to express to the sub- scription mittee of St. Louisans, Mr. Breckenridge Jones, chairman; Mr. J. A. Lewis, treasurer; Mayor Henry W. Kiel, Mr, John O. Ballard, Mr. George Marion Brown, Mr. John F. Shepley, Mr. John C. Roberts, Mr. Perry Francis and Mr. W. C. Anderson and to the newspapers of St. Louis, and through them to the good peo- ple of St. Louis, our most hearty thanks for their very kind reception of our repre- sentatives and for the work they are now doing to give us a 354th Infantry Missouri Building. : AMERICUS MITCHELL, Colonel 254th In- fantry. FRANK KELLER, Major, 354th Infantry. HOWARD B. STIVERS, Major, 354th In-! fantry. War Prices on Medicines. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will some kind, well-informed reader sures Russian good will, she choose to dismem- ber Russia through annexations and protectorates which laid upon her overworked resources the tremendous labors and dangers of seizing, hold- ing, organizing and pacifying populations equal to her own. Instead of peace on the east she has mili- tary operations and guardianships almost equal in drafts on men, money and energy to war with Russia. In this day of democratic progress and radical ferment vast populations and territories are not easily subject to conquest and autocratic exploita- tion. If Russia was moved to overthrow Czardom, which had a firm grasp on the country and a claim on their racial, traditional confidence and affection, will they submit to the hated foreign autocrat? The conclusion seems inevitable that the more Germany spreads by force of arms to the east the weaker she becomes for defense against her formidable enemies in the west. While Russian surrender weakened the allied forces, Russian an- nexation for the time weakens Germany against them and strengthens their morale and will to victory. Let Germany spread in the east. She can real- ize none of her large expectations there until she defeats the Allies on the west, who are stronger than ever and are gaining strength continually by the organizing of American resources. The military activities of Germany in Russia are the opportunity of the anti-German forces on the west to strike a fatal blow. Hard fighting on the west front is the answer to German exploitation of the East. It has the immediate possibilities of decisive results in the West and East. Germany’s lust for power may be the cause of her undoing. = = neal y ye . HOME FOR MISSOURI SOLDIERS. *The nine St. Louisans who have consented to a Missouri Building for our soldiers at Camp Funston, at a cost of $25,000, have undertaken a project in which they deserve the support of the law, or where are the common people to whole city and State. They are Breckenridge go for protection? . Before. the war I was | JOnes, chairman; J. A. Lewis, treasurer; Mayor paying 75 cents for a tonic for which I reasonable. The other day I went to make @ purchase of this article in the West End, and I was informed I would have to pay 31.75. I thanked him and left. Sunday afternoon I came to another drug store that said ‘‘Welcome” at the door. I stepped inside. These gentlemen were not sure they could sell me the tonic on Kiel, John O. Ballard, John C. Roberts, George W. C. Anderson. The building is to be paid for by popular sub- scription, so that an opportunity may be afforded to everybody to take part in this most commend- able enterprise. It will give the soldier boys from St. Louis and adjacent counties a home they may Sunday, but nevertheless they did not for- get to mark $2 (two dollars) on the out- side wrapper. With past experience and with the aid of a chair I was holding, I stood the shock fine, but feeling a little dizzy. I found the exit, with 61 cents to the good. With a handsome little profit like this on one single article, you will agree with me that this is one of the easiest roads to wealth th@t was ever discovered. EDWARD J. HARMON. / Push Annexation. To the Editor of the Post-D toh. I note that the Post-Dispatch is again advocating the annexation of surrounding territory to the City of St. Louis. _the streets, or to borrow the Kansas and Ne- _braska buildings when they wish to give con- certs. The officers not only indorse the plan but they have interested themselves actively in it to the | extent of organizing the campaign for funds and selecting the committee. The mere fact that they think it wise ought to be enough to insure popularity for the undertaking. Thére are many reasons why the boys should have the building but there is only one thing which could keep them from getting it. That would be apathy on _the part of the St. Louis public.

As the total in the draft is given at about 687,000 men, it can be seen that the percentage is appalling. : Doubtless the greater portion of these illiterates and near illiterates are negroes or foreigners.

Knott had published for 25 years, the Missouri Telegraph at Fulton says these are hard times for newspapers and that increas- ing demands for all manner of relief have so taken up their columns that every day sees their number de- crease. The Telegraph says ‘‘they are expected to give away freely the only thing they have to sell— space—and to contribute money to every call as well.’’ It may be said to their credit, we think, that they are dying game, too.

Paris was indeed a changed Paris since I had last seen it, in October of 1913. The pavement in the Place Vendome, in front of the Hotel Ritz. where we stopped, was full of holes, but taxicabs, almost as extinct asthe dodo in Berlin, rushed merrily through the crowded streets. The boulevards were lively, full of sol- diers looking far more cheery, far more snappy, than the heavy-footed German soldiers who so painfully tramped down Unter den Linden. Many soldiérs were to be seen with- out an arm or leg, something impos- sible in Germany, where, especially in Berlin, it has been the policy of the Government to conceal those maimed by war from the people at home. LTHOUGH constantly walking A the streets in Berlin, I never saw a German soldier without an arm or leg. Once motoring near Berlin I came upon a lonely country house where, through the iron rails of the surrounding park, numbers of maimed soldiers peered out, prison- ers of the autocratic Government which dared not show its victims to the people.

NCE upon a time in a cool, O shady hole under a rosebush there lived a very ugly, furry grub worm. All about him were lovely things. Flowers perfumed the air, roses bent their pink heads, jeweled with dew, gay birds flashed from bush to bush, and over all in the night twinkled the fireflies. No one spoke to the humble grub. He crawled along on the ground slowly, while brightness and pretty | colors, songs and blossoms filled the |air everywhere. “I must be terribly ugly,” he | sighed when he noticed that not a | thing seemed aware of his existence. “Everything else is so pretty and gay. I wonder why I am made to crawl on the dirt and never enjoy a bright moment. There must be some use for me, else I would not be liv- ing, so I mean to do my best and work with what little power I have. Only one thing is in my power—that is to loosen the earth around this rose bush.” So he went at his work bravely, but with a heavy heart. All day long he dug and pushed cently at the dirt. and damp he would have little fur- so that rain could get in. The bush grew tall and beautiful.

Palafox read the message from the Portillo. Turning to Augustina he asked, “What answer shall I send?”’ ‘War to the knife," replied the lady. And this answer was echoed by all. Thereafter the Spanish disputed every street; every house, sometimes every room of a house. Augustina was seen at all points, wherever there was the greatest danger to be encountered. F COURSE, Nobody believes in a “personal devil!” At least, nobody. DID— But since this war started, it seems as though the world were FULL of “personal devils,” popping up everywhere! There is the Kaiser, of course, who needs no explanation, And his Chief Assistant, the Pacifist, And the Slacker, and the War-Profiteer, and the man who in- vented the new Safety matches that are always setting things afire, And the woman who takes her knitting to the opera, And counts eut loud and clicks her needles all during the per- . formance, And the “knocker” who grants that Columbus discovered America, But takes personal credit for having discovered all its FAULTS, And roasts everything about it from the Administration to the climate, And the man who invented poison gas, And the friend who invented the new sprink styles and is trying to force women to wear tight corsets and cultivate the waist-line again. (But he WON’T succeed!) And the grocer who manicures his nails and stares out of the window with that bored, pained expression When you plaintively sigh that “prices are high,” And the woman who hoards sugar and feeds it to her dog, And the person who goes around telling everybody how this war “OUGHT to be run”—— And besides, Everybody has a PARTICULAR “personal devil” of his own——— His mother-in-law, or his janitor, or the neighbor who begins mowing his lawn at 5 a. m., Or his tailor, or his employer—— Or the “personal devil” to whom he happens to be married! ND every woman has a “personal devil” of her own—— The one who breaks all of her favorite chinaware, and prac- tices schrecklichkeit on her pink silk clothes, and serves the bouillon in the wrong cups. And every boy knows that his teacher is a “personal devil,” And sometimes, after a bad night and before I have had my coffee in the morning, I suspect—merely suspect-—that I MYSELF am—am one!

And sometimes it seems a pity and a shame that the “personal devil” is no longer a part of religion, Because it must have been at times a lot of comfort to feel that there WAS somebody worse than one’s self Somewhere! But if there are lots of previously unsuspected “personal devils” in the world since the war, There are also lots and lots of previously unsuspected “personal angels” —— Men and women who have awakened to heights of heroism, of self- sacrifice and selfabnegation of which we never DREAMED them ca- pable!

There was a second siege of Saragossa when the town capitulated to the over- whelming tide of Napoleon's acces- sions, and again Augustina took her place at a gun. At the end she was taken prisoner, but was released by Gen. Lannes as too dangerous a hostage. When Palafox was rewarding the surviving heroes of the first siege, he bade Augustina select whatever she preferred, saying anything she asked would be granted her. The only favor she asked was permis- sion to retain the rank of an artil- lery soldier, the privilege of wear- ing the arms and taking the sur- name, Saragossa. As Augustina Sa- ragossa, then, she is designated in all her biographies. It is said that more statues, pic- tures and poems commenorate the deeds of the Maid of Saragossa than of any other military heroine except Joan of Arc. A tall monument sur- mounted with a base richly sculptur- ed upon four sides in scenes drawn from the terrible Siege of Saragossa, surmounted by a figure of Augustina graces a square in her native city.

Oliver, the head waiter, appeared only at night, absent during the day on war duties. No lights, no music, it is hard to} think of Paris without these, Paris which calls itself the “Ville Lu- miere”’—the City of Light. On our first Sunday in Paris a grand concert was held in the Troca- dero—a great Government-owned auditorium on the banks of the Seine —under Canadian auspices.
