A few days ago it was announced
that the Maximilist temporary re
gime in Russia was falling to
piece*. Kerensky had escaped
capture and was returning with an
army to rescue Pctrograd from the
new socialistic party. The leaders
of the new movement rapidly fell
into disfavor and it appears they
cannot control the situation. They
are advocates of a peace propa
ganda that will probably cna in a
civil war. The big trouble in Ru»r
fe* si ais that the masses do not know
what they want, hot inform
ed and not aware what a Prus
sian peace would mean. They can
make no peace with Prussia that
will be helpful to them in their
aims to establish democratic gov
• ernment. Prussia has said tiie
peace would be made in, Berlin,
Which means that the terms woulu
be as Berlin dictates, regardless of
what the result would be to Rus
; ■ sia.
An Item appeared a few days
ago to tho effect that fie soldiers
sugar ration would be cut off. It
was given small prominence and
there may have been nothing in it.
Should there come a time before
I' tho war is ended that there will
be a general shortage in sugar,
let the people at home do without
ifc. and not the boys who have gone to
the front and offered themselves
as a sacrifice for their country.
The people at h6me can substitute
other articles of food for sugnr.
The soldiers have no way to sub
stitute—no variety of food but that
furnished them. Let the soldiers
have the sugar and let the rolks
at home do without.

CHAPBt HILL NEWS.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Nov. I' 2.
Nearly three-fourths of the ."tu
denta ef the University of North
Carolina are now taking the new
course in military training. Four
companies drill daily on the ath
letic field or work in constructing
military trenbhes for the trench
warfare. Capt. J. Stuart Allen,
of Princess Patricia's Canadian
Light Infantry, is in charge of the
instruction, and much progress
has been shown in the eight weeks
of actual drill.
During, the past week national
and regimental colors were pre
sented to the student battalion by
two alumni of the University.
These colors were competed for,
Company A winning thetnj for the
first time. After six weeks they
will be competed for again. On
Friday of last week the companies
held au exhibition drill for the
Orange County Rally Day visi
tors.
The students have been busy
constructing all kinds of inilitiry
trenches for the past month. The
trenches are now nearing comple
tion and trench warfare will be
taught at ai) early date. Two deep
dugouts are also being construct
ed and barbed wire entanglements
will bo put up this week. The
training is making use of modern
war methods as far as it is pos
sible to do so, and Captain Alien's
long experience at the front in
Flaudors Ims enabled him to give
most helpful instruction through
his lectures on modern methods
of fighting. Two field maneuvers
havefaftHtyly been held, and night
maneuvers are planned at an early
date.
The whole spirit of the campus
lias assumed a more military air,
»nd tho khaki clad students give
an atmosphere of camp life. Tar
get practice will soon be begun,
and instruction in modern meth
ods of bayonet fighting have
already been begun.
The new plan of the extension
work which the University pro
poses to do this year has just come
from the press and au outline of
the work is clearly set forth. An
attractive bulletin has beeu pre
pared, describing tho scope and
purpose of tho LaFayotte Associa
tion. Through this association
the University will co-operate witlj
tho public schools in relal ingcom
munity ondeavors to problems of
national life and tho special prob
lems of war. The University
News Letter lias also made plans
to set forth for its 15,000 readers
some of the factors involved in the
present war and the reasons why
America must now exert her full
strength. Tho l>est that is being
thought and said concerning na
tional problems at the present
time will be given publicity by
the News Letter.
Town, university and Chapel
Hill community came together last
week to observe the fifth annual
rally day. A large crowd thronged
the town aiid campus. Exhibits of
products of the farm and the
iiotne were held iu Memorial Hall,
entertainments were by
tho students and an exhibition
drill was given by the military
organization. Prof. M. C. N. Noble
was in charge of the exorcises of
the day.

Patriotic Economy.
IS
By Everette Morsa.
The necessity for patriotic econ
omy will be evident If we think of
finance in terms of labor instead of
in dollars. We have natural re
sources and we have capital invest
ed in the tools 8f production, but
e*-en with these facilities our pro
ductive capacity is limited by the
supply of labor. By labor we
mean the personal service, whether
of brain or of brawn, of the forty
million of us who are engaged in
gainful occupation.
To carry, on the war we shall
spend at least twelve oiilion dol
lars per year, or thirty-three mil
lion dollars a day. This is as
much as great Britain is spending
and fifty percent more than Ger
many is spending, and the figures
are so huge that few of us appre
ciate what they really mean.
Europe is already so deeply in
deDt that she may never be able
to pay, and we are on the roaa
to the same condition. Balance of
trade statistics indicate that we
have made an extra pro/it from
foreign business since 1914 of five
billlion dollars, or about two bil
lion dollars per year. The effect
of this in enriching the country is
suggestive of the result of three
years of impoverishment at the
rate of eight billion dollars.
Our normal annual savings are
about four billion dollars, and not
only will our war expenditure ab
sorb all of these savings, but we
must find eight billion dollars in
addition. During the past three
years our present allies have ob
tained much assistance from us, but
us there Is no country to whom
we can turn we must carry our
burden alone.
Our savings go into public and
private improvements, including
the extension of business enter
prises. These savings will not be
available for war until we stop fed
eral, state, municipal and private
improvements; until we forbid all
issue of securities except under
federal license, following the exam
ple whereby England reduced the
issue of industrial securities from
$453,000,000 in the first half of
1914 to $11,000,000 In ths same period
of 1917.
The danger of a food famine
has been brought home to/us and
we are malting a real effort to
reduce consumption, though our
efforts to increase production are
being seriously handicapped by the
high price of labor
Immediately after war was de
clared the President warned the
Country that every one should
produce more and consume less.
The idea that bfisiness wfls to l.e
suddenly reduced by a wave o."
economy was a shock to business
men, and the cry "business as usu
al" was spread over the country
and caused the President's appeal
to bo forgotten. Not only are peo
ple spending us usual, but many
conscientiously belief ejt their duty
so to do.
Every dollar spent means the
consumption of labor. We shall
not be far wrong if we say that
every four dollars spent consumes
a day's labor, and that every
twelve hundred dollars spent con
sumes a year's labor. A war ex
penditure of twelve billion dollars
will consume the labor of ten mil
lion people. 25 per cent, of our total
labor supply. This added demand
comes during the greatest labor
famine In our history, which has
Increased commmodity prices 85
per cent, since 1914.
We have reached a point where
the increasing demand reduces the
eflciency of Tabor and thereby re
duces tne supply, and we arc fac
ing a further Vise In commodity
pnee* perhap* to exceed present
conditions In England, where prices
are up 120 per cent.
The most effective remedy is to
decrease consumption, and it is
imperative that everyone should
make a drastic reduction In per
sonal expense. The example must
be set by the rich, but every man.
woman and child must be drawn
into the movement until patriotic
economy becomes the greatest faJ
the country has ever known.
Our voung men who try to avoid
military service are "slackers.
Every one of us who will not econ
omize to help the war is a "slack
er." Who will fall to spend less
when ho realizes that every foul
dollars saved is a day's labor
contributed to the war? It Is not
a question whether your Income
Justifies an expenditure, but
whether the country can afford to
let you spend.
Even to prevent hardship we
have no right to spend to keep
people in their usual employment,
for only by a process of readjust
ment can we obtain the labor nec
essary for the war. Already the
Oovernment is resorting to price
fixing and other dangerous exper
iments because we can no longer
submit to the law of supply and
demand. We cannot Increase sup
ply, but we can reduce demand
that the available supply shall meet
our needs and so keep prices with
in bounds.
With two million men in canton
ments or in tent* there sre houses
enough for the rest of us. We can
reduce the famine in wool nno cot
ton by wearing our old clothes. We
can stop the purchaso of automo
biles, so that the factories snd their
operatives may produce motor
trucks, sir craft and munitions. We
csn use the automobile* we now
have less freely and save gasoline.
We can reduce the number of our
servant* and let our wives snd our
daughters do more of the work.
We can d oaway with the wasteful
ness of chaiitv entertainments if
we go less to the theater and give
the money saved to charity.
The real horrors in Europe are
not on the (inn;; line, but amongst
the civil population, who are | inch
ed for the necessities of life ani i*i
many cases dying of starvation, ti
each one of us is not willing to make
sacrifices for the war. Oermany was
right when she chaiacterized us a

France's Food Shortage.
The demand war is making on
the resources of France is shown
in statistics received by the United
States food administration, deal
ing with wheat and food produc
tion there.
In 1913 France produced 87,-
830,000 hundredweight* of wheat;
iu 1914, 76,903,000 hundred
weights; in 1915, 60,630,000; in
1910, 68,410,000, and in 1917, but
39,900,000 hundredweights. In
foodstufls, which comprises all
cereals and includes potatoes and
beet root, the 1913 production of
358,000,000 hundredweights has
doclined in 1917 to only 222,000,-
000 hundredweights.
The figures quoted are from the
statement of the minister for gen
eral revitualling of France, Mau
rice Long, who says that his conn
try ranst be brought face to face
with realities.
