NEUTRAL countries f IMirope. tire worried lest the United States iroveriinient coinninndecv nil fond kud- )lies and refuse to export foodstuffs to any but allied na tions. Appeals are being made by Switzerland and Scan dinavia for food shipments. The United States should earrv out this protrrain. All foodstuffs in America should be. seized and marketed un der federal supervision to eliminate the grafter and spec ulator who seek to amass weaim rrorn deprivation and But tering. The lob ot feeding the allies is the United States first diity and if the neutral nations want assistance and food, let them join America and her allies. We must feed our 1 fiends and starve our iocs. A largo part of the imports tral countries, find they way quence every European neutral is being enriched by the war. It is part or American poney to starve Uermany, hut as long as Holland, Sweden and other neutrals, pass along the foodsttilts to Uermany, it objects of the blockade. . Germany is ruthlessly making war upon every neutral, sinking their ships at sea whenever found. Germany counts for success upon the destruction of all shipping enemy and neutral alike, hoping by starving the world to achieve a German victory. If the neutrals like this starvation German policy and permit without protest, m they are permitting, the de struction of their merchant marine by Germany, they forfeit all right to consideration from Germany's enemies. Neutrals cannot expect that the United States is going to permit the nations aliied with her, who iiave been and are fighting the common battle, to starve that the neutrals may fattten. For America to supply the neutrals food the allies need, is sheer folly. War is war, a grim business at best, and we have gone into the struggle to preserve democracy and prevent the Prussianizing of the world, to save civilization from the savagery of the jugger. Keif preservation depends upon the defeat of Germany and to this end, all the resources and tower of the nation will be directed. We must uphold and strengthen the arms of our allies against the enemy and it is no part of our business to enrich tho food' specu lators of neutral nations. If Switzerland, Sweden, Holland, Norway and Spain want food, let them join the ranks of those who are com batting the unrestricted destruction of the world's supply of food. Let them fight democracy's battle and make common cause against the common enemy. If they refuse, let them look to the tender mercies of Germany, whom they befriend by neutrality, forbread and butter. E WASHINGTON', May .1 The I'ood situation was foremost ngiiin today in the senate debate on the espion age hill's provision to authorize the president to embargo exports. Immediate necessity of an embargo on tin plate fur cans needed in pre serving food products was urged. The ciulinrgo clause was opposed by some senators as unconstitutional and because they contended congress alone has the responsibility of order ing embargoes. Senator Shields said he had op posed embargoing food exports but now believed it necessary because "of present outrageous prices and the groat distress in the country." I'jton surest ion of Senator Lodge tile lull mis amended, limiting its scope. As nniended it would author ize the president to embargo export only when required by "public sal'elv' and not as originally provided when -eiiiircd also by "public welfare." The hitter provision, Senator Lodge objected, would give the president power to deal with purely domestic industry without relation to the war's prosecution. Another amendment, eliminates authority to discriminate hetween ports in the ordering of em bargoes, "1 tin not think this country is in any danger of starvation," said Scn alor Lodge, "but the situalion as to the allies is vastly different. Il will not help us o win the war by embar going food and thus prexeniug feed ing of III.- armies fi-ht iim our bat tles."

British airmen are taking full advantage of the long spoil ot good weather to continue their relentless offensive aloft both liy day and by night. Within three days they have accounted for 0r ene my machines and have carried out many ontorprlses behind the Gorman lines. The Gorman soldiers plainly dislike tho continuous presence of the Hrltiali ulrplanos, for many unposted letters captured during the Infantry attacks dwelt upon the uneasiness the machines cause. One man wrote: "Tho air activity is very groat. The Kngliali will soon be taking the vory cups off our heads." Tho during of the British aviators In flying so low In the enomy country is one of tho striking phases of the latter day air tactics. During a recent night raid, with only tho stars to guide thorn , the Hi'ltons swooped down upon their dimly outlined tur- gcts and dropped their bombs, baroly escaping themselves from tho upward blast of tho reselling explosions. During this ruld tho Germans de fending their supply depots brought Into play a poworful searchlight, whereupon a Britisher promptly flow at It liko a giant moth, let loose a light weight bomb directly over It and the lamp went out, to burn no more. lilO J.WKIUO, May 3 Dr. l.anro Muller has tendered President Itiaz his rcsienation as minister of for eign affairs.

The speaker de clared the section was in direct vio lation of the constitutional guarantee of free Fpeech and a free press. The speaker read from the first amendment to the constitution which declares that congress shall not abridge tho right of religious liberty, free speceli or a free pre.-.s, and des ignated it tho "most important part of the constitution." "1 believe the press censorship proposed here is in frank violation of the constitution," be said. "The fact that editors slander people, abuse them liko pickpockets and lie about them for doing their plain duty and in the last 10 days 1 received as much of that us anybody will not make me vote for what I do not believe is constitutional." It was agreed to debate the sec tion for four hours. A final vote on tho bill tonight appeared unlikely. Republican Leader Mann followed Mr. Clark with the announcement that he would vote to strike out the entire censorship section. In n brief ad dress he urged the necessity of giving tho greatest publicity to all events connected with the war.
