THE FOOD PRICE EXTORTION
RELIABLE press dispatches from Berlin nnd Vienna
. , judicata, that there has boon no increase in tho price
oftfoodstuffs in those capitals since -the initiation of the
war. On the contrary, America, lias advanced the price of
nearly crory commodity to the point of extortion. In view
Qf the rccord-brcnlring JVnwrionn crop tuul the fact that we
d'd ijot import brcadsnffs, these advances can only he
charged to the selfish greed of speculators who purpose
holding back thosQ supplies until starving Europe is ready
to pay their price.
Tho American surplus in wheat is said to exceed 000,
000,000 bushels, the latter figure being the average amount
of that commodity imported annually for Europe's needs.
Of the ships calling at Atlantic ports, ;1 per cent arc lirit
ish and 20 per cent German. These two nations subsidize
their merchant ships on condition that the officers and
crews belong to the naval reserves during time of war, so
that 70 per cent of the bottoms normally carrying this
trade may be eliminated from moving the enormous
American surplus. The full complement of merchant ves
sels plying between European and American ports in time
of peace would be taxed to the limit to handle the Amer
ican surplus in foodstuffs, so that there may be some
question as to whether any appreciable amount of it will
find exportation, at least while the Avar is on.
It is almost certain that after peace litis been declared
in Europe and transportation available, that Europe, re
covering from the devastating influence of the war, will
undergo a prolonged era of retrenchment and economy, at
least in the matter of meats and kindred foodstuffs.
These features, together with the changed industrial
I conditions at home, which of ncccessity will enforce eeon
fomy, ought sooner or later to bring tho combinations in
control of the food commodities to a realization of their
position and brjug prices in
and demand. . , .
THE WAR TAX MESSAGE
JLi
PRESIDENT WILSON" in a sane and admirable mess
age to congress has asked for legislation creating a
war tax that will, approximately add $100,000,000 to the
annual governmental revenues to cover the deficit caused
by decreased importation on account of the Avar.
While the conditions making this step imperative were
unforsccn and could not lun'c been forestalled by any
American policy, the opposition political organs niay be
expected to make great capital of the Avar tax and to criti
cise the administration for conditions over which it has
no control.
The calm, sane judgment of the president through these
trying times of Avar is daily being vindicated. His Mexican
policy, so ridipuled by his politcal cnomes and jingoes, has
vindicated the proverb, "That peace hath its victories no
less than war." While other nations are declaring mora
toriums, avc arc paying" pur debts; Avhile civilized Europe
'smashing treaties and dishonoring its bonds, avc are giA'
ing to the AA'drld a great altruistic Avatcrway, Avithout stain
or blemish on our treaties and' -with equality to all.
Let us be thankful that at this time wchavc no spirit
of militarism, nor big stick, like that Avhich is smashing
the intricate Avhcels of ciA'ilization abroad.
History Repeats in Seige
of Paris, Prepared Now
Almo( exactly one month after the
beginning of tho Franco-Prusinn
war of 1870-71 Paris closed her
gates and prepared to stand a siege.
Now, a month after the beginning of
war, Paris is preparing to close her
gates again. In 1870 the Prussian
mobilization uns ordered on July 15.
No fighting of consequence occurred
until August 1. Itetween August 1
and September 1 tho battle of Wcia
cnburg, Speebeni, AVorth, flravclottfl
nnd Sedan were fought. On Septem
ber 2 Napoleon surrendered his nrtiiy
at Sedan and Paris realized taat
France was beaten. And on Sep.
tembcr It), n few days more thnn two
months after war commenced, Paris
closed her gates and was iniestcd. Il
September 21 the Germans surround
ed Pari?, a eity of 2,000,000 tM-opIe,
the proudest, loveliest eity in P.urop,
was cut off from tho world.
When the gates of Paris were
closed that day, General Trocher, its
military governor, hud 100,000
troops, mostly untrained, hurriedly
organized levees, under his command.
So uwift hud been the PruMnn ad
vance, so undreamed of its ucccs,
Paris was ill prepared and unprovis
ioned for a siege. OuUide its walls
nearly 1100,000 Prussians camped.
The Prussians counted upon n
short siege. Paris achieved the mir
aculous, di the fuce of starvation,
internal strife and cut off from all
the world, it held tho invader off
for four months. It was not until
January 27, 187J, its gates wera op
cued fo admit its conquerors.
It was only when the gates of Paris
closed that Franco began to fight.
Army corps after army corps wus
raised' after Paris was invested.
iGainbuttfi who escaped from tho cap.
ita in a balloon on October 7, al
most succeeded in wresting victory
from defeat. His raids on the I'riis
siiW lines of crimmmiicntioii more
than once brought Von .Molt I; o to tho
pojnt of retiring from Pari. StraW
burg did not fall until a week after
the Gemmns reached Paris, MHz,

greater harmony with supply
held off the invaders until February
li, 1871, afler peace was declared.
Whilo Paris was starving and
fighting prance put armies in the
field. A little better co-operation
between them might have changed
history. If Gnmbettn, Chanzy and
Pourbaki could have brought their
raw nrniies together, if the army He
znino led info HVdnn to starve had
been available, victory might have
been -to France or so the French
hUtorinns say.
Starvation more thnn arms gave
Paris to the Prussians in 1870, and
then, compared to today, its fortifi
cations were weak. There was no
ring of steel and stone around the
city in 1870, no outer rings of bomb
proof forts ns now. And France had
not Fnglnnd at her back nor the ir
resistible Itussinn bear lumbering to
her aid. The siego of Paris in 1870
did not cud the war; it went on moic
dcxperately after Paris closed her
gates, llio co-tt of taking it then win
terrific; the cost of taking it again
will bu greater in direct ratio to the
multiplication of men and uuus in-
Ivolved.
What Paris endured during the
winter of 1870 may be imagined from
(ho fact that day after day in tho
later stages of the siego between .'J00
and -100 Itf-ccntimclcr shells dropped
into tho heart of the city. A'on
-Aloltko had nearly .'100 heavy siege
guns around Paris. The French, ac
cording to A'on Sfoltkc, had in all
2(127 pieces of artillery, including
200 of the largest caliber of naval
ordnance. For each gun nt the be-,
ginning of tho siego the French had
.'100 rounds of ammunition. Long
before tho end they had none.
