Germany adapted these measures
looking one year ahead. Hers s &
problem of conservation of resources
to the last degree. After an unusual
ly good harvest year, when the rail
road to Constantinople was opened
and grain and fodder began to pour
in from Bulgaria —as well as copper
from Serbla. cotton from Turkey and
Asia Minor, Germany went right
ahead with her food roguhlkmo.
No Precaution in Mungary. |
In one country there is the prohibi
tive food law In Hungary, where
“to-day Is to-day, never mind tn-‘
morrow,” there are no precautionary
measures whatever. Likewise In Aus
tria. In Vienna they now have white
bread and one may order in & restau
rant what he wanta. Money does lho‘
trick. But in the Dual Monarchy
there is more suffering and .rumbmu‘
among the poor than In Germany. |
The price of food has Increased A
Germany. In the beer restaurants,
run by MT( breweries, plgs knuckles

to cost 20 cents. To-day It costs 36

Germany's sources of food to-day
are within the empire, Scandinavia,
Roumania, Bulgaria, the plains of
Hungary and certain districts of Po
land. Germany does not have to feed
the Belgians. The American Relief
Commisison s doing that.
After the howitzers, wherever the
Germans invaded, harvesting ma
chines followed. In captured Belgium
and France and Russia they gathered
up all the grain, fodder, onions and
potatoes. These were transported
back to Germany. They left the sug
ar beets lyln? on the ground. They
have more of this commodity than
they could use in Germany.
After the harvests were \n.thorod,
the Germans sent out their agricul
tural experts. These men went into
the flelds of _Beligum, Northern
France, Poland and Serbia. They an
alyzed the soll carefully., They made
minute maps of every countryside.
Tracte of land where different stapies
were grown were tinted different coi
ors. REvery patch of land was num
bered. '
From that time on the products
most needed in Germany were grown
on theese captured tracts of land. For
instance, where sugar beets had grown
wheat was planted. The system ox
tended into Germany itself.
Yield Increased. A
Despite the wonderful system of in
tensive agriculture already established
in Germany, the farmers Increased the
vield for every productive bit of
ground in the whole empire. Women
and prisoners of war work in the

The same expert handiing was giv

after the war broke out the Germans
were sating white bread. To guard
szalnst possible shortases in wheat
the Government stopped the while

law to use potato flour and mix it with
rye
Then came the problem of the con

grams of bread a day was enough for
the average human being S 0 2
grams it was, and little tickels were
printed. To get a slice of bread in
Germany you have to give up a litile

derfully systematized. Berlin, for ex.
ample, was divided In 170 districis,
each having its own central control
over bread
. The system is elastic enough to
meet sttuations. For Instance, when
the Government saw that an enor
mous amount of fodder was bheing
used in the army, it decided to cut
down the home consumption of fod
der. It accomplished this In two
ways. One was by killing off pigs
and smoking the meats, thus storing
up quantities of food. The other was
by making & substitute for fodder.
This came when German chemists
got on the job. In peace time Ger
many produces 26,000,000 doubls
hundredwelght of sugar. Half of this
is used at home. The other half is
exported, mostly to England. The
German chemists decided to concert
this surplus into animal fodder. The
substitute is a combination of nitro
&en and a kind of yeast. The process
glves an albuminous product equal in
nutriment to the Russian fodder rve
and cheaper than Indian corn or rye.

As Certain Means of Enforcing Peace

upon the youth of the present day and
upon coming generations, that thelr
conception of war be undeceived as to
its herolem and glory, but, rather, that
their minds be saturated with the
folly, the cruelty and the waste of
War.
We should impress upon the per
verted ambition of youth the fact that
bravery, self-sacrifice and heroism In
the pacific flelds of human endeavor
are equally deserving of the Victoria
Cross and the Iron Cross, conferred
for achievement upon the destructive
flelds of bloody battie.
Discard Secret Di‘rlomuy.
While the propaganda for world
peace has been one of the steps nec
essary "for its realization, it is now
time to take concrete action, nthcr‘
than to moralize and to expatiate
upon the evils of war. “
Diplomacy has falled utterly. Its
inherent fatuity has led purblind na
tions into a cataclysm of folly. Con
siderations—religious, humane and
economic—have, ft is true combln:d
to make war less probable, but ho
consideration has avalled as yet to
make war impossible. .
Publicity, the sunlight of God's
truth, is what is needed In interna
tional relations!
Such publicity, recognizing un
qualifiedly, unmistakably, the mutual
obligations of the members of the
Entente on the one hand and of the
Allies on the other, we now know
would have prevented the present
war. This is evidenced by Germany’s
admission that the line-up was far
different from what she had expected,
I refer to the attitude of both Eng
land and Italy in Germany's diplo
matic miscalculations. E
Need of World Court. ‘
The creation of a world mu"*r‘
the pacific settlement of International
disputes is undoubtedly prerequisite— |
a condition precedent—to the limi
tation or reduction of armaments.
Huge armaments, while not a di
rect cause of war, undoubtedly do
tend to develop that spirit of milita
rism which is provocative of war.
Moreover, hug& armaments greatly
increase the efficiency of organized
glaughter and immeasurably aggra
vate the ravages of war when hos
tilities begin. : ‘
“Armed peace” is an inverted pyra
mid propped up by huge armaments.
In its economic aspect it is second in
disastrous consequences only to war
{tself.
Yet, under the present conditions of
{nternational relations, many of us,
however opposed to great armaments,
belleve the necessity exists for main
taining an adequate national defense
until such time as the apprehension
of war is so far removed, by minimiz
ing the causes of war, that the uni
versal reduction and limitation of ar
maments can be effected. |
We don't belleve that our national
self-righteousness is an adequate de
fense against foreign aggression du9
to lack of appreciation of us. . ;
We believe that neither national in
offensivenest nor military impotency
—unpreparedness, as it is called—
has avalled to assure a nation’s in
tegrity against the exigencies of mod
ern warfare.
The project of a true {international
court is not new. It was adopted in
principles by the 44 states composing
the Second Hague Conference, in 1907
‘was indorsed by tHe Institute of Inter
‘national Law, in 1912, and has re
ceived the hearty support of all the
Jeading powers, including Great Brit
‘ain and Germany. |
It has been exhaustlvely studifed at
four annual conferences of the Amer
jcan Soctety for Judicial Settlement of
International Disputes, by foreign
governments and publicists. The nroj-l
‘ect has also met with the approval of
Lsmp Legislatures in the United
States, of leading chambers of com

COST:
Two million dead, 10,000,000 wounded, maimed
and prisoners; nineteen BILLION dollars in
treasure lost—more than the entire national debt
of all Europe at the outbreak of war, and nearly
ten times the present national debt of the United
States.

tinpple failed. The British losses were 112,000;
the dead nearly 20,000,
tional and religious bodies. Every
‘where all thoughtial men approve It
. Even the most sanguine advocates
of a world court do not cherish the
delusion that such a court would ab
solutely guarantee world peace.
But it would minimize the danger
of war by eliminating many lssues
that constitute a constant menace to
peace, and In that way the proposed
world court would he not less affective
in its particular function than s
medicine in eradicating disease, edi
cation in abolishing ignorance, or re
liglon in warring with wickedness.
A Tentative Plan.
As to the function, the jurisdiction
and the composition of the court there
well may be a diversity of opinion;
but there is unanimity of opinion as ‘o
its need. There are no irreconciladle
views as to its creation.
As an ugru:lon of individual opin
ton I would state the plan that mst
foreibly commends itge!f to my views
1. The creation of a World Court to
deal only with justiciable questions.
2. The creation of an assembly (for
which the name of “Council of Con
clliation” has been suggested) to deal
with nonjusticlable questions.
Before engaging In hostilities the
signatory nations should be compelied
to submit all justiciable questions to
the World Court, and nonjusticiable
guestiona to the Couneil of Concilia
tion. The Council of Conciliation
should be empowerad to decide as to
whether the questions are justiciable
or nonjusticiable.
The World Court and the Council
of Conciliation.thus become co-ordi
nate branches of a League of Peace.
To compel the submission of dis
guten to the World Court or to the
ouncil, the League of Peace would
depend first, upon the ferce of public
opinion; secondly, upon economic
pressyre by & sort of international
ostracism or “nonintefcourge” or,
third, as a last resort, the employ
ment of an international police force
against the recalcitrant nation.
To Exert Pressure.
As to the enforcement of the judg
ment of the court or the order of the
Counecil of Concillation, many of us
believe that all mations would respond
to the dictate of a World Court or of
a Council of Conciliation, irrespective
of the exercise of any constraining
influence other than that of the pub
lic opinion of the rest of the world,
This program, I believe, is practi
cal, whereas, it {s very doubtful If we
could obtain the agreement of the na
tions to the exercise of military force
to compel obedlence to the orders of
the Court or Council in case of non
compliance., This, however, would
prcbably be a future enlargement of
the power of the leagug
A \g’orld Court would in time, un
doubtedly, become representative of a
world interest, subordinating the nar
row Interests of any particular nation
to the welfare of humanity at large,
The judges would become world
judges, animated by the highest pa
triotism—the welfare of mankind—
not a tribunal prepossessed with na
tional bias.
Many of us believe that the World
Court can be established by the time

of the termination of the present Eu
ropean war In connection with the
discussion of the terms of peace. So,
then, in time of war let us prepare for
peace, that in time of peace we shall
not again have to prepare for war.
The belligerent nations at that time
would, we believe, he willing to sub
ordinate minor difference of opinion
for the realization of this ideal, which
they will regard as indispensable to
their welfare.
Since they all suffer from the evils
of a great war, all neutral nations
should make an Insistent demand for
the establishment of such a court
Neutral nations have a common peril,
In a world court they would have a
common safety.
We belleve that America, because
of her conspicuous advocacy of peace,
her irreproachable neutrality, her
commanding position in finance, in
dustry and commerce, and especially
because of her cosmopolitan popula
tion—comprising such large numbers
of racially affiliated with each of the
warring nations—is pre-eminently the

other trenches are beln“ dug, 8o that
by the end of the year there will be in
that neighborhood 280 miles of trenches
on ten miles of front.
“Flsewhere a certain division has 250
miles of trenches to look after, while a
certain corps d'armee has 450 miles.
’ruklnf these nfurcs into consideration,
one will certainly be under the mark in
estimating that there are twenty miles
of trenches to every mile of front, so
that between Switzerland and the North
Sea the British and French armies have
at least 10,000 miles of trenches to guard
and keep in order.”

Early Advantage in Plane Flying, Submanines,
Zeppelins and Big Guns Have Been Overcome,
Says Noted Italian Inventor of Wireless.
By GUGLIELMO MARCONL
Inventor of Wircless Telegraphy.
PARIS, Jan. 151 t has been sald
that since August, 1914, 80 many new
sclentific discoveries have been placed
at the disposal of the armies fighting
in Europe that all former principles

It is undeniable that sclence was
one of the principal factors of the
early German successes. We were

Take their lan::z:u one by one,
and you will see how. First, their
polson gases. This barbarous inven
tion astonished us at the outset, but
it is certain that the Allies now pos
sess the means of giving back more
than mor get.
Allies Surpass in ”fl"‘
As to flying, Germany with
remarkable machines and skiliful pi-
Jots, but the Allies quickly caught up
with them, and have now surpassed
them The recent bombardment of
German towns preves as much.
Quite recently the Germans made
a fresh effort to take the lead aga'n.
They have built glant machines with
every new lt;pnnmt. These aero
planes are interesting In several re
op«‘l.—-—lholr wireless apparatus, for
inst but as soon as these Ma
chines came over the French lines
French pilots captured several, so
that the Germans have lost their ad
vantage in this respect.
The Zeppelins are good for shelling
towns, but are of no military value.
Germany has not proved briiliant
at sea, except In the employment of
her submarines, which are very well
put together. ' They owe a lot to their
Diesel engines, which are sald to give
good results, But the Allies, too, have
worked marvels with their subma
rines, and, thanks to the precautions
they have taken against attacking
underwater boats, the Germans have
not been able to sink a warship for
months.
At the beginning of the war Ger
many had a superiority over the Al
lies in heavy guns. That Is no longer
the case. .

I have just spent & fortnight pass
ing up and down the French front,
and I perceived this magn'ficent fact
—that everywhere, in Fianders, the
Argonne, Alsace and Champagne,
French batterles have the mastery of
the Krupp artillery.

inferior to the Allles’. The most pow

To look one’'s best and feel one’s
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous day's waste, sour fermenta
tions and poisonous toxins before it
is absorbed into the blood. Just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a
certain amount of incombustible mua
terial in the form of ashes, so the
food and drink taken each day leave
1. the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material,
which, If not eliminated, form toxins
and poisons which are then sucked
irfto the blood through the very ducts
which are iatended to suck in only
nourishment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy hloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer,
you are told to drink eyery morning,
upon arising, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate in it, which is a harmless
means of washing the waste material
and tovins from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, then cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
erful station in the world Is now in
England. &
Aside from the above, a great num
ber of inventions are in use dally
uo-‘_u:o Allies’ fromt. 1f pecple do
not so much about them as of
German inventions, the reason is that
we keep our secrets betier
The Germans have a great num
ber of factories, workshops and labe
oratories. They are well equipped,
and have nearly always been abie o
replace the raw material they lack
(cotton, for instance, which Is used
for making explosives, has been re
placed By wood pulp). Hut every day
the Allies are making fresh progress.
To-day they equal thelr enemies the
day is not far off when they will do
better than the Germans j
The next war will most certainly be
more scientific than this one En
gines of destruction are bound to
row more enormous and fantastie.
nventors are -’fllng everywhere 1o
this end. Means are being devised to
improve torpedoes and use them In
other ways. For a long while efforts
have been made to control -sea tor
pedoes from a distance. It ts difficult
1o do it, but not impossible. Finaily,
1 have heard of an air torpedo for
use by Zeppelins which a Swedish
captain is sald to have invented.
Great Power in Electricity.
All this Is not much when we re
flect that electricity has great sur
rlm in store for us. Electricity has
nfinite wer, yet it has not been’
anplonnl an arm of destruction.
1 don't say we shall see In the fu
ture battle flelds without guns, rifles,
grenades or bombs, but theoretically
it is_possidble. It is ‘bbvious that if
electrical apparatus could be invent
od to throw out waves such distances
as to blow up powder, we should see
some extraordinary things.
’ One man placing two wires in con
tact might blow up battleships Al sea,
munition depots and arsenals in &
single minute,
~ Suddenly, as though with a magie
wand, ammunition boxes would blow
‘ur on the battle fleld and shells ex
plode In the n;y mouths of guns,
Cartridges woul spontaneously “1:
off in the soldier's belt. This wo
mean a reversion to bayonet or sword
fighting.
The most fantastic dreams of Jules
Verne and Wells are of little count
compared with the possibilities mod
‘ern sclence opens up.
I am now working on war inven
tions and not an apparatus that will
enable men to see through walls, as
has been said. My activities are being
bo:n to things of more immediate
value.

The Rev. G. H. Donald, in a letter to
his parish here, says he has found a
battalion which has a- cow In the

her own, and is entered In the military
books as a ‘‘trench store.” Recently
a shell burst within 25 {vnrdl of her
but she is still a picture of contentment.
she is suluunlf guarded lest some other
envious battalion steal her.
