FOUNDERED UPON FOOD
PROBLEM, SAYS PAPER
Manchester Guardian Points Out
Necessity of Assisting De
' feated Nations.
London, Nov. 16. (U. TkS (By Brit
ish Admiralty Wireless.) The Manches
ter Guardian, discussing the reconstruc
tion of Kurope today, said :
"The first Russian revolution failed
because the nation coykl. not get peace.
Now Kurope has peace, or the beginning
of peace, and the one great obstacle to
the success of a popular movement is
thus removed.
"But the second Russian revolution
foundered- upon the food, problem and it
is the food problem which is the most
urgent now. not only in Berlin and Vi
enna, bat in every great town In Kurope.
"Now in thui matter there is clear soli
darity of Interest throughout the world.
It is our business to do everything we
can to help the innocent democracies to i
stand on their feet, no matter whether (
they are neutrals or enemies of yester
day. "It Is our affair because there can be
no assured stability in any one country i
as long as there is anarchy "among its
neighbors,.
."Armed intervention is a remedy worse
than the disease. Tiut fortunately the I
assistance required of us is of a peace-
ful nature. What has to be done is to
put the svorld s supply or necessaries i
into a single pool and ration all the coun-1
tries according to their needs.
"Naturally the allies' peoples come
first, but so far as bare necessities go,
there is tobe no further distinction be
tween ally, neutral and enemy. The only
distinction will be between the country
which can show an organized govern
ment to participate in the pooling and
to undertake to distribute its share and
the country which is too far advanced, in
anarchy for such participation."
Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, who sailed for Europe yester
day to investigate food conditions.

A Talk by Rosenthal's on
Government Regulation
and the Shoe Business
Every line of business is asked to cooperate with the
Government. The shoe trade has been asked to curtail the
number of styles in order that capital, labor, materials and
transportation may be released. The Government has asked
us to in turn seek the public's co-operation in making these
regulations effective.
Unfortunately, false rumors, detrimental to the wearers
of shoes, have appeared in the newspapers and we feel it
our duty to state the facts as they are.
Shoe manufacturers have been asked by the Government
to limit the class of materials and amount of labor expended
in the making of shoes in order that shoes of good value and
assuring a fair profit to maker and retailer may continue to
be sold. Of necessity, however, this will eliminate, after
present stocks are sold, all shoes of the very highest grades,
which necessarily must retail at prices higher than will be
charged for shoes restricted in style but which will not be-
on sale until some time m the future.
' We have been asked by patrons if it is not "unpatriotic"
to wear certain types of shoes. We answer that all shoes
ajc patriotic shoes, for the Government expressly desires
us and all shoe retailers to sell all shoes on hand at prices
now prevailing..
After present stocks are exhausted certain beautiful and
daintily colored shoes, ncrvv extremely popular, will not be
obtainable. These were made m exact conformity with Gov
ernment restrictions. When they are gone you cannot obtain
them, however, at any price. Included in these numbers are
'the beautiful gray kid, two-tone and medium brown boots
with Frerfch heels and turned sole boot If you prefer these
shoes of distinctive character and at present moderate prices
you should take advantage of this opportunity.
Price and style restriction will affect all shoes men's,
women's, misses' and children's alike. And prices will be
higher, quality considered, after present stocks are exhausted.
We have pledged ourselves to the Government patriotic
ally to conform with the shoe restrictions, and have applied
for a PLEDGE CARD which we will show in our window
upon its arrival from Washington. "
(All; shoe stores wherever shoes are sold have been
asked o cp-operatc and to seek your co-operation, as we are
doing.
bers of the S. A. T. C. who wish to re
sume their business or academic studies
will be permitted to do so as quickly as
possible.
The students who have entered the
corps and have no occupation awaiting
them may remain In the service, he said.
Schools able to return to a peace basis
will do so at once. Others will be given
time for readjustments.
In case a man in the S. A. T. C. Is in
college which is reverting at once to its
academy status, he may shift, to an
other where the corps is to be main
tained for an indefinite period.

s It Is only if neutral ports are not
brought for aorrender to allied porta.
But there la reason to believe that alnca
the armistice waa signed, neutral pow
ers have made. It perfectly clear that
their porta are not likely to be avail
able for thia very irksome purpoae and
there is no doubt whatever that surren
dered Germarvrrarships will be brought
into anted porta.
Surface warships, which are left to
Germany, will be concentrated In one or
more German ports, will be paid off and
completely disarmed, and will be under
supervision of a commission of surveil
lance appointed for the purpoae by -the
associated powers.
Regarding German submarines which
fled before the revplutionlsts and took
refuge In Swedish waters, there la no
doubt they will have to be surrendered-
Regarding the Black sea, arrangements
are now being made ror me surrender
of all ships in German hands. It is now
pracUcally certain these will be sur
rendered, without trouble.
Washington. Nov. 16. The German
revolution had its inception at the re
fusal of the high seas fleet to go forth
for battle with the English and Ameri
can navies.
This information was made public
by the Wolff Agency and transmitteJ
to Washington today" in an official dis
patch from Berne.
The Wolff Agency, the lispatch add.
publishes an article entiUed "How It
happened." and this sheds light 6n the
origin of the revolution. It says:
"It is generally believed that the'
revolution broke out on November 5
after the victory of the sailors at
Kiel. This is not exact. In fact, tt
hart hreun the week before. Kiel was
only the scene of the second uprising ;
the high seas fleet waa the scene of
the first.
"The Pan-Germans wished to sacri
fice their fleet in a last combat against
England. The sailors, however. tntT
ceptel the letters the officers ha'l ,
written before, taking leH.ve of the'r
'families. These letters did not -conce.ii i
the fact that the officers would die
rather than deliver the fleet to England.
But the crews, numbering 90,000. ra
volted. the sailors opposing the de
parture of the fleet. Negotiators en
gaged with the high command but
these 'were of no avail. The high
seas fleet received on October 28 the
formal command to sail, but. the of
ficers were unable to execute it.
"Sailors by the thousands were in
carcrated at Wllhelmshaven. but this
action had only the effect pf ' increas
ing the spirit of revolt. And finally
the Kiel events took place.
"In connection with the irtobillxatton
of the high seas fleet. It Is now an open
secret to say that the allies and th
United States who were fully informed
of the moves within Germany, prepared
the greatest concentration of naval
craft in the history of the world to
meet the German armada. Naval men
in this country believe the complete
destruction of the enemy fleet was
averted only
its men."'
because of the revolt of
available that German warships are to good at the work.

Spruce Contracts Up
To Nov. 12 to Stand
Aberdeen, Wash.. Nov. 16. Some of
the anxiety which came with the tele
graphic order of the war department
cancelling all spruce arid air contracts,
shutting off shipments, even the move
ment of cars already loaded, with spruce,
was dispelled by messages-from the gov
ernment which conveyed the decision to
purchase material cut previous to No
vember 12. This rift in the clouds haa
caused loggers and lumbermen to be
lieve the whole spruce business will be
satisfactorily adjusted later on.
