FOOD ONLY FOR FRIENDS.
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.

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." IT.TUoiiliAD, May :i.-Thc liu

IIUITISII HEAIlQmilTEHS IN
I-'UAXCIO, Mny 3. 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

Into play a poworful searchlight,
whereupon a Britisher promptly flow

WASHIN'CTON', May X Speaker
Clark left the chair today to open the
fight to strike out the censorship sec
tion f the house espionage bill us
proposed by representative (Irahnm
of Pennsylvania. 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.
