Mink S, 1IJ The expert on food economics of the State College advises a larger use of eereals to reduce 'the high cost of living. Well, have, we forgotten the sturdy Scotchmen who were brought up on oat toeal? Even If war comes, Phlladelphlans nay go td bed o' nights without fear of German shells. No guns are made that can fire across the whole State of New Jersey and no hostile worship can sail up the Delaware. In Idaho's Legislature there ( Is pending a hill prohibiting the Intermar riage of whites and Mongolians. Tending the settlement of more Important matters. It would be just as well to trust to the tflecrimlnaion of white girls of marriage able age. The Supreme Court Is expected to hand down Its decision on the constitu tionality of the Adameon wage-Increase law when It meets tomorrow. Whatever the decision may be, the railroad workers In whose Interests It was passed ore ex pected to remember that they are Ameri can citizens with an obligation to their country as well as to themselves. Ambassador Gerard got his eggs While In Berlin In the same way that the rich Berllners got theirs that Is, lie bought them on the quiet from the farm ers. In spite of their much-boasted effi ciency, the food dictators have found It Impossible to enforce their regulations save upon the very poor. The agricul turists who produce the food have eaten their usual amount and the rich have adopted all sorts of devices to escape the restrictions. Complete socialization of the food supply seems to be Impossible ven In war times. Miss Rankin has not lost her head Since she was elected to Congress from Montana. When she told the" New York reporters that the significance of her elec tion did not lie In what bills she would support or oppose, but In the fact that she was a woman and "that now women 'wilt be so much more Interested in Con BTs," she proved that she was able to take & detached view of the situation. While the circulation of the Congressional Record will not rival that ofthe Ladles' Home Journal, there are likely to be hundreds, if not thousands, of women who will read it to find out what a woman is dolnr In the House. Both parties In England have for a number of years had rival schemes of fitting the people back tp the land. That fertile soli could easily feed all Great Britain, and may soon be made to do so. The British Director General of Food Production hopes to see 2000 American tractor- plows at work on thq fields Jn a short time. If England, produces all Its own grain in the future, that will be as revolutionizing a result of the war as the wsr itself. It will tend to break up the rest estates and destroy class distinction sncV privileges through the providing of work for "surplus" population that has in the past been starving and begging In the cities.

INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM rpilE President's second Inaugural, de livered nt noon today, li n declara tion of International freedom which Is likely to rank In world nffalrs along with the famous Declaration of Independence with which this nation Justified Its crea tion. It will so rank If the Amerlcnn pooplo Join as one man In Its defense nnd In persuadliiB the other nations of the world to subscribe to It. These am tho things which Mr. Wilson says wc stand for whether In war or In peace: That all nations arc equally In terested In the peace of the world and In tho political stability of free peo. pies nnd equally responsible for their maintenance. That tho essential' principle of peace Is the actual equality of nations In nil matters of right or privilege. That peaco cannot securely or Justly rest upon an nrmed balance of power. That Governments derive nil their Just powers from the conKcnt of the governed and that no other powers should be supported by the common thought, purpojo or power of.tlie fam ily of nations. That tho peas should be equally free anil safe for the use of nil peo ples, under rules pet up by common ngroement and rnnsent, nnd that, no far as practicable, they should be ac cessible to all upon equal terms. That national nrmnments should be limited to the necessities of national order and domestic f-afety. That the community of Interest and of power upon , which peaco must henceforth depend Imposes upon each nation the duty of m-pIiib to It that nil Influences proreedlm,' from Its own citizens meant to enroiiraco or assist revolution in other Slato.4 should bo sternly, and effectually suppressed and prevented. We do stand for thei-e thins, without the slightest shadow of doubt. When the other nations ngrco to them In practice as well as in theory war will be l-.-ss common than it Is today, nnd such n war as is now devastating Europe will be Impossible. The essence of the unole program Is contained In the formula that Interna tlotml relations must be regulated by Jus tlce nnd not by armed might. The seven declarations of the hddiess elaborate the plan for a permanent peace which the President suggested In his speech to the Senate u few weeltH ago when he pioposcd a pence without vic tory. Hut they go farther than the settle ment of tho present International dispute because they matk the road to a better International understanding and the only road over which that Koal can be leached. -3 POLITICAL OUTLAWS A LITTLE Kroup of willful men. lep- "- resenting no opinion but their owp. have rendered tho great Government of the United Stntes helpless find contempti ble." This would bH a daring thing for any newspaper t bay on Its own authority. Hut it Is not. u newspaper that says li lt is the President of the United States. His words are Justllled. Tills Is u day that Americans citizens will remember to the end of their lives with a mnHc of per sonal humiliation. Fortunately threw of the eleven egomaniac Senators retire to private life nnd utter oblivion today O'Gorman. Works and Clapp. Fortunately the other eight Stone, Cummins. Ia Fob Ictte, Vardaman. I-ntie. tlronna, Norrls and Kenyon can be pilloried In tho Sen ate today by their elslity-oight colleagues, for that body has been summoned to meet In executive session. Would they dare to continue their treacherous filibuster In an extra session of Congress In the face of tho righteous Indignation of the people of tho whole country, In the face of votes of censure recorded by legislatures, by mass-meet ings, by all organs of' public opinion printed in the English language in their own States? Only thirteen men In tho House were bo lacking In n sense of responsibility as to vote against the nrmed-shlps bill, which was framed as the only means of defend ing not only the honor of an Insulted na tlon, but nctually tho lives of Its people. But these eleven Senators did not de fire merely to put themselves on record. They took advantage of the Senate rule of unlimited debate to constitute them selves a committee of eleven nutpcrats to veto tho will of 100,000.000 people and the people's President. In the eyes of the world the United States is ruled for the moment by certain pro-German and peace-a '.-any-prlce com munities In a few States, In AVlsconsln and Missouri. It Is even worse than that, for the Legislatures of tho'so States have repudiated their own Senators, and they stand alone before the outraged nation, political outlaws. DEMOCRACY'S OPPORTUNITY SO MUCH more important things are occupying the attention that little thought Is being given to the political significance of the inauguration of a Democratic president as his own succes sor. This has not occurred before slnco the days of Andrew tJackson. The party, condemned to hard labor it: the . opposition, has not had the oppor tunity to develop constructive leadership. That opportunity is now presented to It. Mr. Wilson realizes It, and from the be ginning he has been working- to make his party a capable Instrument of gov ernment. Under his leadership It has ac complished things about which the Re publicans had done nothing but talk for years. The members of his party in the' House and In the Senate, sobered by the responsibilities of power, are likely to de velop under the exercise of It In a way 'thai should put the Republicans, on their mettle.

In August. 1311, it was a busy commercial and manufactur ng town housing 110.000 Inhabitants Now but 18.000 bravely elect to ll.- there Their houses nro In the main Intact. We sped straluht for the cathedral and stopped before the three portals of the most beautiful west front of nny church In Gothic France. Deeply recessed these portals are, more deeply and richly carved with Greek nml Gothic stntues, more Intri cately enriched with lovely, harmonious ornament than those of any building raised to Gpd's praise In nil the world. I entered through the right portal, curi ously, the same I had last passed eight years ago. For the first time In my life, I walked Into a church with my hat on. For jeiu see, nhelms cathedral Is defiled nnd unconse crated. German horses had made a stable of It. German soldier's had made a barn nnd a bed of It, afterward deliberately petting fire to the t-trnw nnd wood they brought with them, as the murdered beauty of carving and sculpture tinder the south tower show. Men In the gray of Germany nnd the ancient blue nnd red of France had gripped each other's throats there, felt each other's bayonets. Since the Interior was packed by (lie, me ashes of the carven choir stalls have long since been swept awny. There ts unob structed vista across the shell-torn nave to the base of the altar that had peen count less elevations of the Host since Louis XIV was crowned there. Beyond It, rnlled npart. Its base shattered. Is the ancient altar where t'lovls. the kin, was baptized upon the hands as. embracing Christianity, he re. celved the title of Patrice and was crowned by Saint Iteml. Archbishop of nhelms. In the year 611. To the left and slightly be fore, where Joan of Arc stood at the coro nation of Charlea VII In 1430, her Ptatue stands Intact, the rail about It shattered by the force of the same shell'that has gouged ii two-fect-deep hole In tho stone floor. The tricolor hangs In dutty folds above her head. The Rose Window Wrecked To enumerate tho damage by flame and explosion would but record the mutilation of an admirable figure of Christ with out stretched blessing hand, and all the other ancient glories In the Hrt of carven stone with which the Interior of the cathedral was adorned. Of the windows burned with the rojal lire nf the thirteenth century, when the art of stained glass reached Its highest pinnacle of beauty, but two re main Intact. They depict high up in the north transept the Virgin. St. John and a figure garbed as an archbishop looking at J a replica of the cathedral. The lovely colossal rose window, a ast Mower of twelve petals, each quarter foiled and again subdivided. Its colored medieval glory one of the most Mibllme of tho Gothic era, is a snawcreu wreun. lui-icvu iiiiu broken by a hundred holes, The same ap plies to the hardly less beautiful rose under neath, and Indeed, nil the marvelous an tique glass throughout. From without the north and west tran septs sustained a withering fire. Here and there a delicate morsel of beauty remalnB Intact, but the great glorious mass ot love liness la forever gone. Standing where the first Archbishop of llhelms lived In the fifth century, dating Itself from the fourteenth century. Is n, mass of Jagged ruin that win the Vrchl eplfecopal lesldence. With It wus destrojed the kingly chapel where the monarchs of Franca made devotion before coronation, tho regal apattments where they put on their coronation robes, the priceless treas ures of antiquity there collected. Nothing remains, and the fire still comes Intermit tently from Beaumont and Berru hills. It does not require biased Judgment to satisfy one that the bombardment of Khelms was deliberately n worn oi inieni. ino German story of the towers Is the usual German fabrication. I have It on the high word of the Archbisnop nimseu. The towers were a fair mark. The Ger mans, enraged at the reverse of the Marne, made a stand a bare three kilometers away and Intentionally destroyed the most glori ous monument of the Middle Ages. It Is easy enough to make statements and It's easy enough to deny. It Is only that which one sees that one really knows. And I have seen, All about the cathedral were the unlovely shops and factories of manufacturing llhelms. They are In each Individual case as much a mass of Jagged debris as the archleplscopal palace. For half a mile to the south, east and north of the house of Ood there Is ruin. Factories and shops are hut shops and factories but llhelms cathe dral Is llhelms cathedral, "The Boches a Race Apart" In the late afternoon, as I crouched In a depreaslon of earth leading from a first line trench, the major commanding the sec tor, whose guest I was. said: "See, Monsieur, over there, the village of Cernay. we could nave destroyed It any time since the Marne. Hut there are French women In It. Some day, when the time comes, we'll take It; perhaps have to de stroy It in the taking. But as we are not of 'cette race apart des Boches, we won't thell It when we can shell their trenches and batteries." just at that Instant a singing sound of German shell was heard overhead. "Vollal They are shelling Rhelms.

BRITAIN EXONERATED To the Editor o the Jvcninp Ledffe'ri Sir 1 presume Qulnlan, whose communi cation appears In your Issue ot February 28, Is one ot the long-distance hackers of the Sinn Felners who Inaugurated the re bellion In Dublin last year. Those poor unfortunates were driven to their deaths by the Kalser-Cascment alliance and their 'financial backers here In America. P. F.r Q. would hold the present generation of Great Britain responsible for what happened In 1776, 1812 and 1861. He might ns well hold them responsible for the murder of the-two princes In the Tower -uf London by the orders of Itlchard III or of the bo heading of the wives of Henry VIII, or hold the France of today responsible for the massacre of; St. Bartholomew's Day, England has, by. the stand she has taken against the Kaiser and his murderous subjects,- made herself the champion of civil ization. Without bjtT entrance Into this war France' would toelay be a vassal of Germany, and If the treatment of the Bel gians Is taken' as a criterion. It would have been better that every Frenchman had died by the sword than lived to wit ness the degradation uf his unfortunate country. But with the mighty help ot Great Britain, tho German brutes were stopped 'at the Marne, and then they re alized that their gamo was up. ItBNHY J. 81IARKWY. Clifton Heights, Pa., March I. PACIFIST PROPAGANDA To the Editor of the Evening Ledger! 31r On Saturday, March,, 3, there ap peared a iarge-type quarter page adver tisement entitled, "Do the People Want Warf" and Is signed by four men, Amos Plnchot, Randolph 8. Bourne, Max East man and Wlnthrop P, Lane, who style them ..wa committee for democratlo control. First, they throw douot upon the authtnw tlclty of the ztmmermann note, an eumen .ii.ii v vouched for by the President, and tenlsht admitted by Berlin. SaconS, they "SECOND CUP OF COFFEE" 0 statements they epiote from a broker's letter, putting their own Interpretation upon It. Third, they state that people do not want wn r. Such methods of r- 4uie. especially when the country Is facr.g the gravest crisis in Its history, nre In i ffut treasonable. No matter what Individuals may feel regarding the past policies of tho government, the country should stnnd united In upholding, not hindering, tho President In tho super hiunanly difficult task before him. To throw doubt upon the President's word Is both unpatriotic and Insulting. Again to make the sweeping statement that all the financiers ot Wall street nro merely woiklng to line their pockets, nnd that our newspapers arc controlled by them, stnlnps the men who make such dastardly assertions and makes their statements as absurd ns they are questionable. Wall street has made money out of the war, but so has labor, so have all our Industries, Are thee gentlemen so unique that they have lcftalned from taking ndwinlage uf these prosperous times? Piesldent Lincoln did truly represent the people always; but when he moved against plavery, knowing war would ac company that decision, there were many who, like these gentlemen, opposed and tiled to thwart lilm In his great work for humanity Ho lefused peaco at the price ot slavciy and so kept us true to our Ideajs. Of courso no one wants war It has been tin ust upon us unsought, nnd today we are to all Intents and purposes at war wltli Germany, and havo been since the threw aside the last semblance of re stralnt in her Inhuman warfare. We hae taken our stand for the right In breaking off diplomatic relations. It behooves us now to show tho world that wej are united In purpose to maintain our rights, that wo nre possessed with the pplrlt of a united patriotism to defend the Ideals that made us a nation, rne committee ior uernocraiic control may be sincere In Its pacific ef forts; but Its proclamation, especially at this time, is both pernicious and unpa triotic and smacks of pro-Germanlsm. Such sentiments will find npproval and encour agement among German propagandists. 13. M. FRYER. Philadelphia, March 3.
