That the manner in which Germany has Heen conducting itself in res: to the neutral nations. has not begn entirely overlooked is indicated by the action of the Uruguayan marines at Montevideo where they boarded and took possession of the German ships tied up dn the harbor there when the report was circulated that the crews were about to sink the vessels. That , country was thoroughly ac- quainted with the way in which the German ships in this country had | been treated and it was fully inform- ed upon the developments in Argen- tina and it did not have to walt for a second warning before it acted for its own protegtion. Uruguays has not shown any German favoritism but it hae been disposed to stand for Ameri- can rights and by putting guards about the German ships it forestalls the possibility of much embarrass- vessels being sunk in Montevideo harbor. Whether such was the plan of Ger- the crews aboard the Ger- essels, has not been actually man parent that that republic Was taking no chances. It fsn’t placing any more faith in German actions than it has to.

Just at this time when efforts are being made to bring about a lowering of the cost'df living and a reduction in the prices attention 18 commanded by the price of hogs and the many products which come from the ‘pork- er. According to the department <f agriculture one reason for the hizh price of pork is tfat there are act- ually fewer hogs-in the country than there were a few years ago. That is one of the excuses which was offered for the high price of beef, but it is difficult to understand ' with conai- tions as they are today, With the dis- eases of hogs under better control than ever before, with more attentlon being given to the raising of food animals and with the ralsing of hoss heing urged more than ever, just why there should be this falling off in numbers. The raising of hoss is not attended with the extensive outlays that the ralsing of cattle is. Corn s dépended upon to a large extent to fatten the lLogs and the production of corn has ebn increasing for vesrs, so that in spite of the increased uses for corn in an effort to relieve the drain upon the wheat supply there should be suf- ficlent to devote' to this purpose. Certainly the price which hogs are commanding togay should be an in- centive for a much larger production. There are potent reasoms for the de- velopment of this industry as there are for raising more sheep and “with- out having as many drawbacks., The situation may not make it possible to overcome the condition this year but there ought not to be a repetition in the year to come. In every state and in every town there should;be mote pork raised. Any section that will ow corn should produce hogs. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Theére are four sections of grades of clese-order drill ,which -are called school of the soldier, \gchool of the sguad, school of the company, school of the battalion. The word “school” s here used, means a fixed method. of training. First of all .you will get the training included under the "school of the sol- dier.” This training is in turn diyided int9 two parts: Instruction without and the Manual of Arms. he very first thing you will learn s the position of the\ soldfer. which hes aiready beén explained in lesson ¢ then you will be shown, among other things, how to face to tiie right or left lor about In a°Soldierly manner, how to salute properly and how to march. The Manual of Arms takes you a step further. It teaches you how to handle your rifle properly, include practice ¥n firing or in bayonet com- bat. In the school of the squad you will execyte all the movements learned in the school of the soldier; in addition you will learn to keep your _correct place in rank®, to stack and @ike arms, land to march ag & squad. The school of the squad ineludes also some prac- tice in extended-order drill. The school of the company carries you still further in your training. In the close-order drill you will be taught to march in line and in column and to execute a number of simple but very imoprtant movements. Most of these movements are by squads; that is to say,-they simply apply to a number of squads working together, the same movements already learned ih the school of the squad. School of the Battalion. The school of the battalion in turn applies on a somewhat larger scale the movements you have learned in the school of the company.’ The com- mands of the major will be rgpeated to you by your own captain, or through him by Your platoon commander. The battalion s the largest unit in which ‘an officer can make his com- mands head and clearly understood by — and down the form of a littic station crowded with solGlers. ~The men, whose opportun:ties seeing pretty woman had been limited for mapy. & month, gazed in < admiration and were prepared to makc a manifec- tation in her honor. But suddenly their feelings éhowed a crange and cries of discontent began to be heard. A group of soldiers went up to the woman and severely upbraided her be- cause a bow of red ribbon was fas- tened over the ear of her Pomeranianm dog.. Such a use of the symbol of revolution was shocking, they said, as it showed a wish to ridicule the grew- movement. The soldiers shouted and shrieked and jumped abonut excitedly, to the utter astonishment oi the pretty woman and of the Pom. But the wo- man extricted herself from an embar- assing ) osition with the guile of a. true daughter of Eve. She took -the ribbon from her dog's head and piaced it in her own hair. Once more the crowd changed' its tone and It waa' amid enthusiastio cheering that she, and the dbg, took the train a littie later. A ceriwin general was suspected by his men of bemng oniy luke-warm to- wards tre new movement, so 8 dele- gation ot colGlers weited on him to ask his :eal opinfons.

And we will apologize ‘for the remark, that the present price of food is ample insur- ance against wanton waste. - Some of our metropolitan cities have completed a food survey of storage plants, and found abundance in pouls| try, meat and eggs, and eyerything els% at, or about normal. This is proof cnpugh that price boosts are not jus- tifed by scarcity of anything, also that the law of supply and . demand does not enter into the extravagant costs fixed for everwthing. The plain every-day truth is, that there is no limitation to the price-fix- ing of those who control the food sit- uation and, uniess they are curbed, they will keep right on doing as they please. To furnish a _questionable Justification for this buccaneering there is some demand that where prof- its havo not been made in the past. prices may be raised to make good what was_lost during _ unprofitable years. This reckoning does not take into account the Tean wasme years of the consumer nor does it intend to re- fmburse hlin for 10ss of purchasing power die from any cause during that same time. Political speeches is all we- have had thus far in the way of legislative interference with th wholesale plunder. We read - a. ahout war needs and sacrifices, but it seems, these sacrifices are mafie by the people tc satisty the needs of the manufacturers and producers. We are advised how to save food, that there may be enough for our al- lies, but the advice might be devoted to a better cause, for the simple rea- Scn that food-saving, what there is of it, is automatic, made so by exor- bitant prices and Jean pocket-books, The drama of life énters the s of absurdity, when we take seriously the references to conservation of any kind, on.the part of those who have the price. Doing their bit in this pro- sramme of grandeur to save the natlon, consists principally, in telling the rest of us whose carthly possessions, are an old knife or a stew pan, how to save what we have not. We ean not wreck our vengeance’ for all time, upon the rbage can, for consuming more than the nation, for that day is over. Even Dbefore the ‘'war. The cost of living has been on the jump every time the leeches of commerce thought it time to give the price machine another twist. And the war.was a valuable help to price-hoosting, without re. gard to supply, and the overcrowded storage plants of the nation bear wit- ness, and in a little while in accord- ance with law and sanitary demand a great deal of this stuff will go to the dump and again the supply will exceed .the demand. It seems to be the inability of government to reach the depths of mischief, of this ques: tion that is to blame for - the mis- chievous situation as we have it. And the while we listen to, and read, the finest line of bunk about what we will do to be saved from Mr. Speculator. We are in the war, and what good does 1 do to talk about the right or wrong of it. The proper thing to do is for our iaw-makers and the whole nation to work that the end of ghis war may speedily be brought to a con- clusion with honor, withodt unneces- sary sacrifice of men or money, at the same time let us bear in mind, above all else, wé must not starve the non- combatants by allowing food-pirates unlimited license to do it. While we have the food controller and the food control, it is going to take some time te set the machinery In motion, and maybe a longef time. to jar the pirates and convince them it s a good law, S0 let us hope.

Regiments brigades and larger units are controlied through orders given to, commanding _officers which they carfy out by issuing other commands or orders to the officers or men immediately under their control.

Correspondence _of the Associated Press.) Political happenings have succeeded one anorher so rapidly in Russia that French correspondents there have ha# little time to do more than occupy themeelves with them, and descrip- tive ariicles from these journolists have been few, regarding the effect of the revolution on the mass of the people and its results in the provinces and amues the peasants. ©re or twe articles, however. have appeared which throw some light on the mentality of the Russians, regarded as so differ- net from that of other Europeans. Mr. Robert de Flers, asscciate edi- tor of the Fizaro, and now_attached to the headquarters of the Rumanian army, has had months of study of the Russian troops serving in con- junction with those of Rumania. Here are some anecddstes from his .latest article. Thers is a fine lake somewhere in the south: of Russia which 15 connected by a channel with a smaller lake where huge carp are raised. channel was barred ly nets to prevent the carp from passing into the latger lake, and, as food c.oes not reach the troops in the district too plentifully nor in sreat variety, the officers were glad to vary their mess with the fish. One day some hundreds of coldlers were gathered in a meeting—one of those meetings which have 'become a regular institution in the Russian army this yea.—plunged in.deep discussion. 4h cries of (“Liberty!” “Liberty”) the men began put out the barriers and nets and destroy them.’ The of- ficers wished to prevent tne destruc- tion but the soldiers took iittle notice of their reprimands beyond _erying, “Slogod: :_ Sichoda for the fish!” A non-commissioned officer explain- ed the ratter. sh are God's crea- tures like men are. Like them they have the right to liberty. But men can talk and #o have made the Reve lution, while fish are dumb and can never make theirs. It is therefore our duty to aid them becauss it is con- trary to nature to pen them up in or- der to capture them easily and &l them. A middle class functionary, & man who occupied a modest position in one of the tax-collecting offices and who Was imbued with the marrow, bureau- cratic, reactionary spirit generally found in that class, chanced to go out one day with a red umbrella under bis arm. A group of manifestants #£0ing to a meeting begged hi mto open s umbrella. He willingly complied and at once found that his bright um- brella—red belng the revolution’s col- or—made him a personage. Women threw him flowers, children were lifted up for him to kiss, and he was at once made president of the meeting. When that was over he was conducted in triumph to a banquet and there, 00 .he made an eloquent speech, hav- ing dlscovered himseif an orator with- out ever having uspected it. Finally he was - onducted to his home at a Jate hour by several thousands of his free if not enlightened fellow cit:rens. From that day, after inschibing his name on the rovolutionary committee, he has never gone out without his red um- brella, always open. For months every material, from silk to the commonest cloth, «colored red, has been gought for and made into coekades, s, streamers, etc. The smallest fragment of red serves as an a_manifestation. Here is 2 story of'a squad of Russian soldiers, e DL e n.
