OUR GREAT TASK " B7 Herbert Hoover. If you could stand in the middle of Europe today and survey the land to its borders, you would discover Us whole population of 400,000,000 human beings short of food. Millions of peo ple In Poland, Finland, Serbia, Ar menia and Russia are dying of starva tion and other millions are suffering from too little food. Our Allies and the neutrals are living on the barest margins that will support lifs and strength. This, the most appalling and dread ful thine that has come to humanity since the dawn of civilization, Is to me the outstanding creation of bar man militarism. The Germans them selves are not the worst sufferers. They are extorting at the cannon's mouth the harvests and cattle of tno people they have overrun, leaving them In desolation. If the war were to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual dead from starvation within the Ger man lines would double or treble the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men who have been actually killed by Germany and her allies In arms.

Parsons, chief chemist, bureau of mines, de partment of the interior, In an argu ment for discontinuance of the use of platinum In jewelry. "The war can not be won without platinum," says Dr. Parsons, "and K our country is to excel Germany In the development of chemical science pp.d industry. With the aid of plat inum from one ordinary wedding ring about 100 pounds of nitric acid can be made every 24 hours. This 100 pounds of nitric acid converted into high explosives will asnd a num ber of 3-Inch shells against the Ger mans anj help to bring the boys back home. ' "Platinum rings, pins, cigar ette cases, and mesh bags are not fac tors In winning thl3 war explosives are. I wonder if the purchasers and vearers of platinum Jewelry know that explosives can not be manufac tured without the use of sulphuric and nitric acids; that the manufac ture of tlies acids requires the use of supplies of platinum; that air planes must have platinum for im portant Instruments they need; that I latinum Is absolutely necessary in the manufacture of special pyrom eters; that pyrometers are necessary In all steel treatments; and that no gun can be made without the use of pyrometers. "There Is a shortage in the supply of platinum. Russia has a corner! on the world's supply, and Germany Is In Russia. Our domestic produc-1 tlon of platinum Is negligible, whlb! our military requirements are in c:casing at a rapid rate."

"A soldier needs more food than tie ordinary civilian because his life is more strenuous. Moreover, his whole diet must be made practically from wheat, meats, fats, sugar, con densed milk and coffee, for except ing a few varieties of canned vege tables, these are the only foods that It is possible to ship to him from a distance. Furthermore, Uncle Sam must lay up vast reserve stores of these food3 to meet emergencies such as food lost during a battle lcodstuffs sunk by submarines, food spoiled in transportatioj or bad crops next year. "Just how well fed the American soldiers are and just how well Uncle Sam Is aide to meet ono and all of these possible emergencies depends on how thlrftily American men and women save wheat, meat, sugar and fats."

FAIL TO GERMANIZE HOLLAND Dutch Character Has Successfully Re sisted All Efforts Made by Ita Powerful Neighbor. That Germany pvts Holland Is no diplomatic or other secret. Everybody., kaows It. Considering the Dutch char acter and pride In national Independ ence which they have manifested ever since the Dutch language assumed final .shape us evidence f distinct national ity, it has seemed best to the Hohen zollerns to proceed by peaceful means, nniong which none Is more patent than Intermarriage onion;; Influential fam ilies. And especially there Is desired marriages of German princes and princesses into the House of Orunge, which for some centuries, either as Ktiidthohlers or kings, has been the gov ernlng head of the Dutch state. There bus been great success In se curing German mnrriiiges. The mother of Queen Wllhclr.iina was a German princess and her husband Is a German prince. But, while there has been success In securing German husbands or wives for the House of Orange, the assimila tion has been fron. German Into Dutch und not from Dutch into German. We recall no German prince or princess who has married Into the House of Orange who has not turned out to be as loyal a Dutchman or Dutchwoman ns the most ardent llollunder could de sire, observes the Sun Francisco Chron icle. The fact Is that the sturdy Dutch character persists from generation to generation und forms one of tte most distinctive types of the human species. This Is not because the German ruler have not constantly tried to mod It over, but because they have failed to do so. And . . . the modern Germans are Impatient that they have dallied so long with peuceful means and are for taking by force what they cannot get otherwise. ! jjjj j
