HERE hunger reigns,” notes Rabelais, “it drives ont force.” Grimly significant are the reports that come to us with ever increasing frequency and definiteness concerning food con- Bitions among the peoples at war. ‘At the West Point alumni dinner the other night Gen. Joseph E. Behn, U.S. A., President of the Army War College in Washington, whe, as Mr. Gerard’s Military Attache at Berlin, had exceptional + een for observing the effects of two years of the war upon German people, declared that at this moment “they are on the tiige of starvation.” | “The bravest ma “will succumb to an empty | stomach. I believe Germany ts prepared to entertain terms of | peace and to go a long way to get them.” Y In the Prussian Diet last week a member called attention to the @gread of epidemics “owing to decreased power of resistance.” Elderly le in Germany, he asserted, are dying off faster and faster each) month, the number of suicides is increasing and “parents are killing heir children owing to their inability to obtain food for them.” | (Whe grip of famine has not closed upon the Central Powers aud pared the Allies. Food controllers in France and England are strug- ling with the same sinister problems. Supplies of grain, vegetables 4nd other indispensable foodstuffs steadily diminish. | The British food authorities have issued a warning that unless sensumption is reduced the potato supply will be exhausted in «ix| weeks. With this warning goes a threat to search the houses of per-| sons suspected of hoarding sugar. British speakers are (elling Britons| that there is “a possibility the war may be lost and an ignoble peaco| @greed to on account of Jack of money or food.” | In Russia the food shortage is so serious that the Government has called a special conference to consider means of warding off starvation. Week by week, month by month, it musi grow worse. Warring peoples cannot count on miracles to make good the stupendous waste with the results of which they must now reckon, Shot and shell, countless engines and devices for destruction,| desperate exercise of human ingenuity and force, have not won victory | for either side. | Now—silently, irresistibly—the wasting want of food, which| causes suffering behind the lines greater than that endured in the! trenches, applies its terrible leverage in all the belligerent nations. Against it all force must fail.

H —— Fy mae WOMEN WORKERS IN FRANCE. | E RECOMMEND to admirers of women in general and to feminists in particular the praise which Albert Thomas, French Minister of Munitions, accords the 350,000 women now employed in the Government munition works in France, | That he finds women more skilful than men on smaller piece jobs| requiring neatness and precision of touch—mounting rifle parts or rolling fuses, for instance—is not surprising. But M. Thomas doos not stop there. He believes equally in the feminine hand for huge cranes that lift five tons; | “An active girl of nineteen on & travelling crane Is » attentive to her work that she anticipates the slowing down and stopping signals of the men who guide the load to its place. Leaning over the railing without taking her hand from the handle of the electrical wheel, her eye judges the movement of her machine thirty to forty feet below. The people underneath working in co-operation with her kuow that she will slow down at the necessary instant. It is a flue example of intelligent aud trained team work.” Before the war this girl ran a sew ng machine all day.
