FOOD RIOTS IN GERMANY.
Despite repeated assurances trom the German government
that beyond a slight inconvenience from the absence of several
articles of food, the central powers are in no way suffering
from a shortage of food, the riots which occurred throughout
Germany on May 1, would indicate that the question of susten
ancc for the large population cut off from the rest of the world
has reached an acute stage.
On several previous occasions the people of Germany have
joined’ in food riots, but at no time did the demonstrations
reach such proportions as those on May Day. It would appear
from the disptches in nearly all parts of the empire, the peo
ple were moved by a common impulse to protest by the only
means in their power against the continuance of the war, w hich
is bringing such intense suffering to men, women and children.
Upon the women has fallen the burden of forcing the gov
ernment to conclude a peace which will open to them the food
markets of tin- world. Nearly every ablebodied man in the
empire is with the colors, and thus placed in a position, where
to protest against the war woould mean his instant execution.
Not so with tlic women. They are left at home to survive
as best they can. The soldiers must not suffer for want of food
and clothing, and if there is a shortage, the women are the ones
who must do without.
Tiie undue severity of the authorities in dealing with the
riots shows that the uprisings were of proportions which
threatened to have far reaching results unless immediately
checked'.
Much has been written about the ingenuity of tile German
scientists in providing against famine by remarkable substi
tutes Avliicb w ill answer tin* requirements of the more ordinary
articles of diet, but there is a limit even to their abilities, and
as the efficiency of the British blockade by sea increases and
the ring of steel with which the Teutonic powers are sur
rounded tightens, suffering is bound to increase.
It is upon these facts that the allies hope for ultimate
victory. Unless the German navy can open the ports of the
Kaiser to the commerce of the world, it is only a matter of time
until a desperate population will take matters into their own
hands and force the government to sue for peace.

THE IRISH REBELLIONS.
Another Irish uprising lias been suppressed and passed’
into history with dozens of others of the same character.
Oppressed, down-trodden, and suffering wrongs which for
years has gained her the sympathy of the world, the little is
land has managed to preserve the liberty loving spark in the
breasts of its people, who have given to the world so many great
men.
But the latest rebellion, like so many that have gone before,
was ill advised and'certainly untimely. Ruthless though Eng
land may have been in her dealings with Ireland, she, herself,
is now fighting for her very existence, and the world is chary
with sympathy under such conditions.

OUR MEXICAN DASH.
It is by no means a pleasant situation into which our little
army in Mexico has been placed. But it is a most valuable les
son to this country.
In the course of the last year or so the jingoes have re
sounded the slogan, “On to Mexico,” garnished' with boasting
sentences to the effect that ten or twenty thousand American
soldiers could lick all the greasers that could be mustered. We
now find our little army in a precarious position 400 miles from
the border, with no Mexican army of any large dimensions
confronting it.
Preparedness comes home to all of us in this emergency.
Armies cannot be made in a year. Modern battles cannot be
won by mere inexperienced numbers.
LICENSE TRAP SITES IN ALASKA.
Advices from southeastern Alaska are to the effect that the
jumping of trap sites has begun again, with the resulting con
fusion and bitterness engendered by such actions, and also the
possibility of violence by one side or the other. It is to he
hoped that Congress will soon take steps to remedy this by li
censing trap sites, as is provided in a hill for the revision of
the Alaska fishery laws and submitted to Congress by the U. S.
bureau of fisheries recently, and thus do away with the pres
ent anomalous and dangerous condition ot affairs so far as
such sites are concerned.

If the citizens of Juneau do not stop seeing “airships that
pass in the night” that community is going to get a bad name
no far as sobriety is concerned.
