AN INTERNATIONAL GOOD SAMARITAN
A Swiss federal council reports that 28,(i(i0 temporarily in
capacitated prisoners are being car«*d for in Switzerland. These
men, wounded or hard pressed in battle have sought refuge on
neutral ground. Though prisoners in name, they have been
guests in fact, according to all reports, receiving kindly treat
ment from a kindly people.
Switzerland has become the international Good Samaritan.
The kindliness to all has not stopped with giving succor to
the wounded and sick fugitives, but has included the facilitat
ing of the return of belligerent citizens to their own countries
and assistance given captured soldiers in the sending of letters
home from the prison camps of all the warring nations. The
great humanity of this small nation long will be remembered by
the whole world. Tacoma News.

SEND ROOSEVELT, SAYS WATTERSON
Henry Watterson has a vision of Colonel Roosevelt carry :
ing the Stars and Stripes to glory in France and across the
Rhine. In the Courier-Journal he says:
“The appearance of a former president of the United
States carrying the Star Spangled Banner over a body of Am
erican soldiers to the battle front in Flanders will glorify us as j
nothing else will. It will electrify the world. I fancy we can
see this sublime spectacle circling around the arch of stars and
marching down the Champs Fly sees, up through Rue Royale
and passing the Madeline, out the boulevards to the Column
of July, thence to the front, by that time let us hope across the
Rhine.’”
AN EDITORIAL BY PRESIDENT WILSON
Here is an editorial by President Wilson, sent out by the
department of interior:
‘At the present moment it is our plain duty to take ade
quate steps that not only our own people be fed, but that we
may, if possible, answer the call for food of other nations now
at war. In this greatest of human needs, 1 feel that the Ameri
can farmer will do his part to the uttermost.
“ By planting and increasing his production in every way
possible, every farmer will perform a labor of patriotism for
which he will be recognized as a soldier of the commissary, ad
ding his share to the food supply of the people.”—Tacoma
News.
. AFTERNOON TEA AND THE WAR
Instead of attempting to curtail the food supply of the
poor, the English government is restricting the luxuries of the
wealthy. This includes a three-meal day, abolishment of the
afternoon tea, and a limit on pie, cake and confectionery. Un
der the “Defense of the Realm” act, officials have authority to
prevent food hoarding.
“Meatless days” have been urged, but the bread supply
in England, according to the London Times, is in far more dan
ger of being exhausted than meat, and millers must now' screen
white flour finely, obtaining more bulk from the grain. *
Everybody hopes limitation of the food supply will not
be necessary in America, but there is a possibility, may^e re
mote, that the United States in the next three years will be
faced by problems England is now trying to solve. This coun
try may well profit by England’s experience.
All sorts of freaks, fads and fancies will be proposed, as
they are now in England, and many of them, doubtless, w ill fall
as far from hitting the mark. The situation is one that requires
great minds and fearless purposes. He who can formulate a
sensible plan of food conservation before actual need comes
ought to he abundantly pensioned for life.—Tacoma News.
MEANS HARM TO NOBODY
Liberated Russia is still trying to convince somebody that
it means harm to nobody. Every little while the new govern
ment issues a new proclamation to the world. Here is tbe gist
of the latest:
“The government considers it a duty to declare at this mo
ment for a free Russia; not at supremacy over other nations, or
at depriving them of their national patrimony, or at occupation
by force of foreign territory; but aims at establishing a durable
peace on a basis of tin* rights of nations to decide their own
destiny. The Russian nation does not seek after extending its
power abroad at the expense of others, and it does not aim at
subjugating or humiliating anybody.”—Tacoma News.
■—————— ;o:
It is to be Imped that the grain speculators had the right
“hunch” in Chicago when they pounded the price of wheat
down on the assumption that reports of revolutionary out
breaks in Hungary, disturbed conditions in Bulgaria and strike
riots in Bei lin indicated an earlv end of the war.
*
-:o:- i
An English manufacturer of wedding rings has jgst failed
in an effort to get the military tribunals to declare his work of
national importance justifying military exemption. Marrying
activity in this country since the war began suggests the ad
visability of drafting such manufacturers as a military measure.

The embattled world is making it so hot for the kaiser that
he is not now talking of a “place in the sun.”

The names of Nivelle and Haig have been enrolled among
the immortal commanders of history.

Entry of the United States into the war has changed the
