America has not yet suffered real privation, nor is she likely to pay this debt we owe to humanity on a still higher scale with any really terrible pinch. At present even with the end of war reached there is nothing "for us but to expect that present food demands will greatly increase from abroad, even ifa very big part of our Army abroad comes home. In an appeal to the of Nev York State, made by the Federal Food Board, we see the same plea made to the women of the whole country, beseeching them to exercise the utmost kitchen economy in the utilization of food. American families in the past have been, rich and poor alike, the most wasteful and extravagant among the nations.

This, too, not only as raw food providers, but in the saving cuisine which gets the most out of food. It is asked that every effort should be made to insure fifty per cent, bigger savings than ever. It ii estimated that this country, to do its duty in the next year, even with peace, must export 2,000,000 tons of meats and fats from direct savings, as well as 10.000,000 tons of bread-stuffs. The first named will be a far more difficult and self-denying thing to do than the latter. The plea goes on to say: "The policy of the United States in feeding its own people and helping to feed those of its Allies and of neutral countries differs materially from the German has been going into con- quered territory and requisitioning its meat, taking entire herds without a thought of the people depending upon these herds and without thought of the meat supply for the next year.

The iAmeri-can government aims to feed its own people, to help' feed of our Allies and still keep its herds intact. The government expects the housewives of New York State to do their part." It is estimated that we must play a big part in feeding 276,000,000 people beside our own if we would live up to their best level of our moral and physical resources. This includes not only the people of the lately occupied and ravaged' countries, but neutrals, and it may be in some measure our late enemies. In 235 INJURED' On B. R.T.

Austria-Hungary, whose Hapsburg dynasty perpetuated in a smaller way the traditions of the Holy Roman Empire founded by Charlemagne, has almost a thousand years behind it in the processes of origin, growth, and decay. The most; polyglot of monarchies, the most bigoted and narrow in its tenacity7 of outgrown traditions, the centrifugal force of its heterogenous races, which have long been struggling against each other, have finally pulled apart and rended the empire into The tragedy has reached -is culmanating stage during the present week and at least four governments have already announced their upspringing out of the ruins, three of them to be republics in form.

The Turkish Empire, themonstroui-excrescence of European history has offended the sunshine 1453, when the Asiatic Moslems took Constantinople and succeeded the Greco-Roman Empire. For more than two centuries it was the terror and menace of Christian Europe and its career has marked more unspeakable infamies than all other imperial regimes combined. For a good while decadent it will have ceased to exist as an' empire almost certainly, as the consequence of the coming of peace conferences, or be stripped to a mere shadowy pretense as a problem of diplomatic convenience. As to the German Empire we can scarcely fail to assume that in all that constitutes imperial power or even whet may be considered hereditary right in its execution, it will have passed away. The Kaiser, if that continues to be his title, and Germany permitted to remain monarchical, will be no more than the elective chief of a national bund, like the old North German Confederations.

The German Empire, as we have known it for the last half century or so, will have been irrevocably shattered. That the hegemony of Prussia, with all that implies in modern Teutonism should not receive its mortal wound in the final conditions of peace, and that the Tuture affairs of the German nation not be transacted uftder the sanction of a general plebescite, would nullify the essential loffic of the war. There is plenty of indication that such will be the voice of the component states themselves and of their peoples. Anything else would be insanity in the settlement-making statesmen. Four empires gone to the historic scrap-heap, burnt out and purged of chartered criminality, clearing the ground for a new and nobler order of the world's affairs when the good shall- have at least an equal chance with the evil in human evolution and, therefore, the conquering primacy.

That is the work of the biggest four and a half years of this footstool. An enormous and 'frightful price has been paid for it. It is worth it. Demagogue's cruel laugh UNITED WAR "WORK CAMPAIGN. active work which will begin on "Mpnday in Montclair for prosecuting active war-work has had its preliminary push, and no doubt it will proceed with a sufficient activity of zeal in spite of the stupendous news of the week as to the military end of the long struggle which has con- vulsed civilization.

The obligation implicitly laid on the nation does not end with a surrender of the erst- while enemy. The splendid function of helpfulness and relief that have imparted such to our sym- pathies will not have shrunken with the cessation of armed battling. Th end of that cannot fail to add rr sponsibilUy instead of diminishing it There will be new phases of oblig- tion in healing the wounds of war and in contributing to do those things which will lessen the friction of settlement. and readjustment. The campaign for raising money to the extent of $170,000,000, or there- abouts, will be for two weeks.

The assurance of its importance, while, it does not need emphasis by discus- sion, yet calls for action and not 't merely tacit assent. The things that will now bristle with the imperative include not only the finishing up of great things, but the tackling of moral problems of vast import. It is to these claims on zealous co-operation that the new turn of the world situation now ad-f dr-sses itself.

The settlement of final terms in the shape of the drastic armistice granted to Austria-Hungary was received, when made fully known, with a delirium of joy by the people of the Dual Monarchy. Practically that had ceased, to be "dual" by the officially acknowledged separation of Hungary.
