necessities for shipment abroad are
very great. Whereas the allied con
sumption has been reduced to an
average of one and one-quarter
pounds per person per week, we are
today enjoying an average of about
three and one-quarter pounds per
person per week.
"This division is inequitable. An
understanding of these facts will
justify our request that the consump
tion ot all meats, including poultry,
as nearly as possible, be reduced to
two pounds per week per person over
four years of age.
Sugar Must be Conserved.
"In the case of sugar, we are em
barrassed by the necessity of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
we must use sugar with great econ
omy. We must emphasize the impor
tance of canning and preserving on a
large scal among our people this
summer and our available sugar sup
ply must be conserved for this pur
pose. "cut the situation with regard to
wheat is the most serious in the food
supply of the allied world.
It we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements of our armies and
the allies and the suffering of millions
in the allied countries, our consump
tion of wheat in (he United States,
until the next harvest, must be re
duced to approximately one-third of
normal.
Real Crisis at Hand,
"It is inconceivable that we should
fail in this crisis.
"For each of us who can personally
contribute to the relief of human suf
fering it is a privilege not a sacri
fice.
"All elements of our population
cannot bear this burden eauallv.
Those engaged in physical labor need
a larger bread ration than those in
sedentary occupations.
Because of the constant dailv em
ployment of women and the lack of
home-baking facilities, many house
holds in large urban centers require a
food ration already prepared, such as
the bakers standard Victory bread
loaf. Furthermore, we must con
stantly safeguard the special require
ments of children and invalids.
How to Meet the Situation.
To meet the situation abroad and
to prevent suffering at home, it is
imperative that all those whose cir
cumstances permit shall abstain
from wheat and wheat products in
anjy form until the next harvest.
-It is deeply appreciated and real
ized that many organizations and
some communities have already
agreed to follow this plan."

though Pullman cars now are under
government operation. Pullman em
ployes will not benefit unless the rail
road administration decides eventu
ally to retain management of the cars.
In announcing his decision, Mr.
MeAdoo appealed to railroad em
ployes to forget dissensions and dis
appointments arising under private
control, and to remember that the suc
cess of the war depends .largely on
their services.
To meet the expense of the wage
increase, the biggest ever granted to
railroad or any other class of em
ployes at one time, the railroad ad
ministration has discussed raising
freight and passenger rates.
The percentages of wage increases
range from 43 for men who received
$46 a month in December, 1915, to
a small rate for those receiving just
under $250, and no more pay is al
lowed men who made $250 or more in
1915. The actual additions run up to
$34.
With the exception of office and
messenger boys under 18, who are
given smaller increases, all employes
who received less than . $46 a month
are given a flat increase of $20 with
the provision that laborers paid by the
day shall get a minimum of 2cents
an hour above the rate six months
ago.
An important principle contained
in the director general's order is that
reductions in hours since 1915 are
not to be regarded as increases in
nay. This means that employes of
the four brotherhoods affected by the
Adamson act are to receive additions
on top of the increases developed by
that act. ' '

trenches to get a close-up view of this
horror of the ages. To get some
knowledge of the conditions under
which this awful war is being carried
on and under which the brave men
from the United States must fight;
to, I hope, sense, something of the
problems that are to be solved at the
end of the struggle, were perhaps
enough to justify that perilous jour
ney. And. in addition, visions of in
vaded lands and of ruined cities and
towns without number, and first hand
knowledge of the utter disregard of
all the humanities by the savage foe,
have burnt into my soul the con
viction that no compromise is possi
ble, that to make one would be only
to declare a truce under which Ger
many would prepare to strike harder
than ever at the heart of the world.
So there is no effort I would spare,
no sacrifice I would not make to, in
the most effective way, support the
president as the head of the govern
ment. But I would never vote for a
treaty to ratify the unspeakable
crimes of the Hohenzollerns.

"While the war lasts all else must
be subordinated to it. Wheto it ends
there will be a new world and old
moorings will be torn away. Then
social and industrial oroblems will
press for solution. The men in uni

where they will have preserved our
country a UDerties and enacteawith

To fit them back into old tasks and
into new ones will command every re
source of .wisdom No program, in
that day, which does not-carefully
protect tihe interest of the common
man will suffice. To secure thaPyjn all
readjustments may well be the highest
aspiration of every lawmaker in the
land. .
"Hundreds have uread me, either by
letter, in person or by petition, to
tile for the senatorship. My decision
is not without reference to their
friendly solicitation, for which I thank
them, but I file on my own responsi
bility, for I confess an ambition for
the senate. It is an exalted position
to which any man might honorably
aspire. But perlonal success would

of the country.

NEBRASKA BLIND
PEOPLE TO MEET
HERE ON JUNE 11
Four Days' Convention Will Be
Held at Rome Hotel; Charles
Zadina Tells Object.
The sixth biennial convention of
the Nebraska association for the blind
will' be held at the Rome hotel, June
11 to 14.
The officers of the association are:
L. A. Harris, Beaver City, president;
L. N. Muck, College View, vice presi
dent; Miss Tucker, College View, sec
retary; Alice Howell of the state uni
versity, corresponding secretary; H.
J. Gierau.Newell, S. D., treasurer.
A feature of the convention will be
an entertainment in the First Metho
dist church Thursday night, June 13.
The proceeds of the entertainment
will be used to further the work of
the association.
Blind Man Typist
Charles Zadina, prominent among
the blind residents of Omaha, plays
a piano at a movie theater. He is an
adept typist, although he never saw
a typewriter in his lire. He has been
blind since he was 10 months old.
He wrote the following for The Bee
on his typewriter:
"The prime object of the associa
tion may be summed up in their slo
gan, 'help the blind to help them
selves.' The average individual, with
all his five senses, though very well
meaning, is quite ignorant and preju
diced when it comes to considering
what he owes the worthy and ambi
tious blind man and woman of his
community. , He often feels like he
has done his bit for the blind by
'slipping the mendicant a thin dime
and running away from him.
"This is the most demoralizing
thing he can do and it is not charged
up to his account in heaven as he
may think, but rather against it. He
should be a good Samaritan and say
to his blind friend on the street cor
ner, 'cut out this noise and begging
stunt and get some newspapers or
popcorn or something else the public
really needs and I will help you every
time and way I can, for just because
you are blind is no reason you should
not be respectable and useful.'
Help is Needed.
"One of the big tasks of this and
similar associations throughout the
country is to rescue those who be
come blind in the prime of, life, from
falling into the slough of despon
dency and taking up the worst voca
tion on the blind man's calendar.
"The Nebraska association influ
enced the state legislature to pass two
bills last year. One provided an ap
propriation of $3,000 to be used in
helping the blind to get a higher edu
cation, or to get a start in some oc
cupation for which they are fitted.
Some gobd results are already being
gained through this fund,
i "The other bill will be even more
beneficial as it allows each county
to make up the deficit to those whose
earnings are below $300 a year. This
will help those who do not have suf
ficient training or ability to become
entirely self-supporting, and especially
those who are become invalid from
the same disease which caused their
blindness, as locomotor ataxia often
produces this effect.
"The chief new topic to be taken
up at the convention is helping the
few blinded soldiers who will return
to Nebraska. The government has
arranged for the necessary financial
assistance and most of the training
they will need, but this is not suffi
cient. They will need certain help
and inspiration in meeting the world
in their changed condition, which
none but the blind man who has gone
through the mill can give. Where
possible, some will be encouraged to
follow their previous line of work.
England is doing marvelous work
along these lines and keeping her
blinded soMiers the same usuful. in
dustrious citizens they were before
the war."

Germany to Have Control
In Finland Twenty Years
Copenhagen, May 25 Germany is
empowered to take economic control
over Finland for 20 years under the
commercial agreement between the
two countries, according to the Ber
gen Aftenblad, which publishes the
report as coming from "a good
source." German money will be
placed in a number of Finnish fac
tories, particularly such as are able
to produce articles for export.
Finland also will make a defensive
alliance with Germany and will raise
an army of 100,000 men which will
be at the disposal of Gernjany, should
Russia renew her attack during the
war. German officers will act as
instructors in military schools.
General Mannerheim has protested
sharply against the agreement.
