There @ mapy things to the contrary, .- veviewing the case from “we have this to offer: m entered the war with the one purpose in' mind,—that is, to administer a beating to the ex- ponents of autocracy. The United States went)into this war with the one idea,—to see that the kaiser and his tribe were finally effaced from the face of the earth. The United States went into this war in order that the prophecy and wish of Colonel Henry Watterson of Kentucky might come true,—namely that the Hohen- zollerns and the Hapsburgs might be al] sent to hell. The United States ‘ontered this war in order that the bandits and the outlaws of this gener- ation should be brought to trial; that the murderers of innocent men, wom- en and children should not be allowed to go free. The United States entered this war so that nQ man or tribe of men should stand forth as the master or masters af all that they might sur- vey. The United States entered this war so that no neighbor state, in all the wide world, should put forth her hand and rob and pillage from a near- by dweller of the soil. The United States, in a nutshell, entered this war so that right might take the place of might, and that law should hold the upper hand over outlawry. Having entered the war under the aforementioned conditions the United States will not sit idly by and see that injustice is done to any of the bellig- erent powers. On the contrary, the United States will see that justice is done to all. It will see that Gérmany as well as England and France and Russia and Italy and all the members of the Entente Alljes come off with a fair part of the bargain. The United States is too big and great to stand by and see any nation suffer from the reckoning that must take place. That also is why the United States is in the war. In all the wars that this country has fought it has come out the winner. Likewise, it has come out the loser. For the United States has never asked any other nation to recompense it for any task undertaken. It has also never asked for indemnity or for territory. Whatever wars it has fought have been fought on their merits. Why are we in this war? We are in it to see that justice is done to all; to see that the' Stars and Stripes of America shall trilumph over all the flags of civilization; to see that no man or nation shall rise up in might and crush a smaller neighbor. We are in ;this war to down autocracy and to elevate democracy over the heads of all the kings and princes and po- tentates of Europe. We are in this war !or the pPeople of the world. TO CONSERVE FOOD. Soon the President of the United States will create an Exports Coun- cil the duties of which shall be to regulate the amount of shipments to foreign countries. The 'prime idea of this council, aside from helping to conserve food at homé, is to-'see that no food from the United States reaches Germany. It will exercise a sort of censorship over the Trading with the Enemy Act. To this end it will pay especial attention to all ship- ments of foodstuffs to Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Holland. Once the needs of the people in these coun- tries have been satisfled there will be no more foodstuffs sent to them for fear the surplus might find its way into German territory. ‘When a nation is at war its food supply must be conserved. When a nation is at war it must take every means at its command to prevent foodstuffs from reaching the enemy. Thus the United States is forced to put into effect such a law as is now being debated before Congress and to create a council to supervise exports. As we go on further into this war we shall see that every day will bring a change of conditions,—especially a change effecting living within this domain. Instead of the recklessness that has always been in force in thia country there must come a steadiness of habit and practice which will bear the fruits of frugality. Instead .of extravagance there must come econ- omy. . The state of Connecticut has taken the first.step to control the food sup- ply. Before any other state got started’ Governor Holcomb appointed a board of nine to look into the status Yuo of foodstuffs in this state and to recommend to him just what should be done to prevent waste. This voard is in session every day. At its offices in Hartford- it is quietly conducting aninquiry into the entire situation as regards Connecticut and soon its report will be in the hands of the thief executive. When ‘that survey has been presented . in its proper chape the people of Connecticut' will have besn protected in more ways than one. They will not be subjected to the cnormou#roiits of the middle- man once the amount of foodstuffs here has been publicly pronounced. As it wiil be in Connecticut so it will be in cther states of the nation. Tho jederal sovernment will eventually zet around to the point where it will protect all its people from extortion. The Exports Council is the first great step toward this end.’ “The almighty dollar is in dontrol,” observes an exchange; And the food sharks, in turn, are in control of the almighty dollar.

HARVARD COMMENCEMENT Alcoholic Drinks Frowned om For First Time in History—25th Year Class Gives “Liberty Bond.” Cambridge, June 31.—At com- mencement exercises in’Sanders the- ater, decorated with flags of the al- H nations, President A. Lawrence Lowell conferred honorary degrees on a number of men who have ren- dered valuable aid to the country during the national crisis. More than 1,200 degrees were awarded graduates of the college. # It was the first bone dry com- mencement in the history of the uni- versity. The Harvard alumni asso- ciation had requested that soft drinks alone be served at the various class reunions and there was general com- pliance. The annual meeting of the Har- vard alumni association was attended by seniors for the first time. n reading the annual report of the col- lege, President Lowell announced that the customary gift by the 25th year class was a $100,000 “Liberty bond.” D.

The contract will be awarded to the American Hassam company, which will lay a new kind of asphalt, known as the hi-camac type, at $2.30 per yard with a five years guarantee. This kind of pave- ment will greatly facilitate the work inasmuch as the Connecticut com- pany will not have to relay its tracks ;.5 would be the case if concrete were aid. its June Want Congress to Hurry Alderman A. M. Paonessa and Al- derman O. F. Curtis introduced a resolution in which the city of New Britain goes on record as favoring speedy action by congress in regu- lating the price of food supplies. Coples of the resolution will be sent to Connecticut’s congressmen. An amendment offered by ‘Councilman Landers, .providing that the resolu- tion be dispatched to Washington at once by night letter was adopted and copies of the resolution wilF also be ®sent to every mayor In the state. Petitions from the Stanley Works and the American Hardware corpora- tion for permission to lay spur tracks, recommended by the board of public works, were acted upon favor- ably and the matter will be brought before the public utilities commision. The Stanley Works sought permi: slon to build a track across Curtis street, and Councilman Andrews amended the plan so that the fac- tory will bridge the brook and the city will not be put to the expense of chmxlns the course of the stream. The Hardware corporation wanted to lay a spur track from Rigelow and Chesnut streets into the corporation’s property on Chestnut street. It was ex- plained that since the Annex was de- stroyed by fire the concern has been hesitating about rebuilding in order to see what favors the city would grant. The corporation also has plans for the construction of a new power plant and the spur track is a neces- sity. A. G. Kimball, representing the corporation said his concern would do more than any other factory in giv- ing ample protection to the crossing and would post a bond to ensure this. A report was received from the fire board recommending an ordinance to fix the salary of the chairman at $400 per year and the clerk at $800. The matter was. referred to the salary committee, which is also to take up the matter of adjusting the police board ‘salarles. The water commis- sioners’ recommendation that the salary of Clerk P. J. Egan be left as it 1s, $1,300 per yer, was referred to the salary committee. Heretofore Mr. Egan received $2560 as commis- loner and $1.060 as clerk, Petitions Are Received. The council voted to give Fred Siveinberger leave to withdraw his petition for damages resulting from a fall. Routine reports from various committees were approved and peti- tions were received as follows: ; From John Steffek for abatement of an old street improvement assess- ment on Beaver street for the reason that the assessment should have been paid by the former owner, referred to mayor and aldermen; from Oscar ‘Litke for the abatement of interest and lien on a sewer assessment laid on the construction of a sewer in East street between Henry and Kel- sey streets, laid in the name of Charles 8. and Ellen/ L. Hills in 1908, referred to mayor and alder- men; from Oscar Litke for abatement of sewer assessment laid against property on west side of East street between Kelsey and Henry streets, assessment and interest amounting to $180.25, referred to mayor and aldermen; from J. M. Zuk et al, for a sidewalk on north side of Clinton street, referred to board of public works; for curbing and macadamis- ing Cleveland street, referred to the board of public works; for removal of a dead tree at the corner of West and Tremont streets, referred to board of public works with power, from A. M. Paonessa for a:light on Daly street east of Oak street, re- ferred to board of public works; from F. C. Holcomb for permission to re- move a building, 27 by 31 on Corbin avenue, referred to building inspec- tor and board of public works with power; R. J. Dixon for permission to move a building on Cleveland street, referred to board of public works and building inspector with power. Alfalfa Food Products. From the Scientific American.

For many years the alfalfa enthusiast has been abroad in the land and he maintains anything and nearly gverything that is good about his favorite grass. Moreover, he be- lieves it, and more often than one would think he is right.
