The distance is 341' miles longer than If routed via the Union Pacific from Portland. It takes 24 to 36 hours longer for a car to maJte the trip. It contributes to the car shortage. It is a waste of locomotive energy. For all this waste, somebody has to pay. For a train making this roundabout haul, three to four and a half additional train crews are required. The use of at least four addi tional locomotives is necessary, to say nothing of the delayed release of the badly needed cars. Somebody has to pay for all this waste. It Is one of the reasons why railroads are so often before the inter state commerce commission asking increase of rates. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce, the Port of Astoria and tho Westcoast Lumbermen's association were recently before the Interstate commerce commission masking that joint rates be ordered so the ship ments could be routed by the short ' and direct haul. They argue! that the short' and direct haul meant greater efficiency in the railroad service. It was the most economical routing. It required the shortest period of time. It released cars and locomotives for use in relieving the car arfd locomotive shortage. But strangely enough, the commission denied the petition. It decided that the shorter routing could not be ordered until it could be shown that the roundabout routing disturbed the public interest. And so it goes. The North Bank and its parent lines the Great Northern arid Northern Pacific haul Astoria traffic past Portland, northward to Spokane and thence by circuitous directions, south ware and eastward to Denver. nd the Union Pacific, to reach tidewater, picks up freight along its lines and hauls it past Portland 186 unnecessary miles to Sound ports. And the O-W. R. & N. hauls Umatilla wheat via North Yakima on a joint accommodation with the Northern Pacific 330 miles to Puget Sound where, after that long haul, it is farther away from its European destination than when It left Pendleton.

Here, indeed, Is a virtual removal of boundary lines that by comparison makes King Louis' metaphorical sweeping away of the Pyrenees seem as petty as it was fallacious. There is no mere Imagery In Uruguay's dic tum. It states a wondrous but sub stantial, fact. The Monro doctrine struck a chord of Pan-American affiliations. The Uruguayan doctrine resolves that chord into a climax of sur prising majesty and power. America is now all America, not simply the United States.

For example, Germany had spies all over Ireland before the war. They told Prince Llchnowsky, the German ambassador to London, that Ireland would rise In revolution the moment England declared war. 'Bo the prince told the kaiser that he could count on England's being unable to take a large part In a general war, torn as she would be by Internal dissension. Llchnowsky had a waiter and a gov erness working in county Cork. They reported- that Southern Ireland was a network of revolutionary plots. But the Irish, after the identification of the spies, showed that waiter and gov erness had "loafed on tbe Job." They were paid for sending reports to the German embassy, and they had to send something. If they had said there was no plot, there would have been no more work for them to do. And their su perior, the German asrent who directly employed them, thought he would have lost his Job if he had nothing to tell the ambassador. So that by the time the reports were assembled In the Berlin Intelligence office they were magnified beyond recognition. Thus psychology "double crossed" the psy chologists, and when the prince went back to Berlin he was disgraced for not having foreseen that the Irish prob lem would not tear the British empire asunder. Bernstorff was similarly accused -on his return to Berlin. He was told that his agents should have given him more correct "reports upon opinion in America, but there was not much need of agents in his work of sizing up the United States. The newspapers told him every day everything he would want to know about American sen timent. .a But though the German psychology pies have failed, their military spies seem to have earned their wages. The rapid advance of the Prussians through Belgium and France was facilitated by phone and signal pent by men and women who had never been suspected of German origin.

MAINTAINING FOOD VALUES War has in no way diminished the food needs of the body, yet It has brought about such a radical change in food prices that the money at hand for supplying body needs con purchase little more than half as much as lt could a few months ago. Certain meat cuts that were 12 cents a pound have advanced to 18. Many vegetables have almost doubled in price. Flour has Jumped sky high, and sugar is breaking all records. The body needs have not shrunk correspondingly; they do not accom modate themselves to the buying ca pacity of the pocketbook. We keep right on wanting as much to eat as when our salaries would buy twice as much as they do now. It looks like a serious situation. ' a But there is one way out of the difficulty. As from many other spe cial strains imposed by the war. much benefit will come out of the experi ence, for war and for peace. The an swer to the money and food problem, that looks so difficult. Is really ex tremely simple: Supplement dollars with knowledge. The prices of foods are no measure of their nourishing values. This fact is of greatest im portance to the poor man; lt is his salvation. Some cheap foods are nour ishing: some dear ones have little value. You are spending your money haphazard unless you know food val ues, and haphazard spending is like haphazard shooting lt Is a waste of ammunition It Is better to aim dl inatively asserts), as he stood off and surveyed the ark.
