As to Hie possibility of HUH being accomplished, there seems to be seilous doubt, or at least on the purl of one very ably edited newspaper of this section, the Augusta Chronicle, which sets forth some of Its reasons for thinking so in these words: The Isolation of (?erinany from the Importation of raw material and food stuffs has set her scientists to work to solve the probl-":>s thus created, by dis'overing new uses for things which have heretofore been cousin* r ed as waste producta or of small value. And. to an extent, they luve donn this already. A Herlin chemist, Hans Kriedenthal. for Instance, has suc ceeded in extracting the nutritive val ues contained in straw and convert ing them into fond for man and beast. This lie does by laceration of the cell walls, which are in themselves In edible, thus freeing the nutritive sub stances contained therein, such as albumen, starch. BUgar. dextrine, vegetable acids and the accompanying calorics. Thus ls prepared a flour which contains cellulose, vurious sugar-; an?! all the mineral salts and alkali . nec essary for the human body. Dr. Friedenthal had bread, soup and por ridge prepared of the (lour Huts ob tained and they proved to be not only nutritive but palatable. In the meantime, we arc told that' wheat in longland has risen 72 per cent in price, flour 75 per cent and sugar 72 per cent, as compared with thc prices pretailing a year ago Meats and foodstuffs generally have risen In price throughout England, from 12 1-2 to 19 per cent, as com pared with Ju'v, 1914. But. without stopping to discuss England's food problem, it appears to us quite unlikely that the allies will be able to starve into s ubini ? . n a people who can eat Btraw-pine straw Included-by converting it Into palatable soups, flour and porridge; and who, at the Bame time, can make a goodly supply ot alcohol with which to run their engines of war and faru machinery out of the garbage wb'ch all other people throw away and de stroy; or who can take from the air albumen aud phosphate-food itr man beast and growing crops. Say what we . please, therefore-, about your Herman's methods of mak that he is quite as ' efficient"-and do ing war. we aro compelled to admit cldedly more admirable-when lt .-ornes to chemistry and economics. Who knows but that he may yet be able to make "noodles" of thc bark of trecB, or a first-class break fast food of the leaves? At any ra?r all things considered, starvation ls not yet insight for Germany. IN DEFENSE OF SMOKING. In appealing for a generous supply of tobacco for British soldi,TS and sailors at the front.

The governor suya the statement Chief Cantwell sent him us to placea closed here, ls "erroneous and misleading." The governor men tions two Instances that cause bim to draw thia conclusion. Mayor Grace has replied fully on Up? points raised by the governor. The following ls the mayor's letter to Governor Manning: May 15, 1913. Honorable I'lchard I Manning, Governor, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: I am Just in receipt of your letter of May 14. and hasten to answer lt. The chief of police la in my office and hears what I say; I having summoned him as soon as I read your letter. He ex presses aa much surprise SB I now ex press to you, that you should In the slightest question the good faith with which we are dealing with this situa tion within the linea I have n any manner led you to believe that we would deal with lt. I have been exceedingly careful in my negotiations with you in this mat ter, never to ovor-state either what we have actually done, os what we actually intended to do; and what I have especially sought to avoid is any semblance of hyprocrisy or make-be lieve. The report of the chief of police was handed to you In person by me only because SB you know I was prac tically summoned to Columbia sudden ly and unexpectedly. 1 had intended forwarding it to you with a letter or transmittal-not, however, as a "re port," but as a renly to your Inquiries. It had been on my desk for several days, as 1 explained to you, unattend ed to because of the absorbing busi ness of our city convention which In tervened. It was called forth by let ters and telegrams to me from you (which I In turn communicated to the i chief of police summarily demand ing a "report" on what I was doing. I have put ?aide a gread deal of tech nical dignity which adheres to my of fice, under which I might have in sisted that nothing requires me in law or courtesy as mayor of Charles ton, to "report to you In order to pre serve at least an appearance ot de corum on the record. I have adopted the word "reply," rather than your word "r?port," as you wll find In my telegram ot April 22. Of coarse, I have more or less surrendered the digni ty of my office for the sole purpose of avoiding the much greater indignity and humiliation thai otherwise waa to be heaped upon our city by con stabulary invasion, which w^.at I have ) the Times Ute military "situation," and gave her more than a little credit for helping to arouse the fervent devotion and readiness for selfsacrlflce that mark ed the French people. Aline, ( henal baa a voice and pr?s eme, und though something of her effect i veness was due lo an adroit use of coutume and scenery, the critics agreed that still more of it was the result of the utter sincerity with which her ai fceal was made. Over here few of us are "Latin." sud we are not participants in a great war. but nevertheless our emotions are at least ready to be stirred in much the same way as were those of the Parisians.

If occasion should urlse. the triumph won by the French singer. ' The Star-spangled Dunner" is not, it must be confessed, in either words uf music, a means os well calculated us is the "Marseillaise" to inspire patriotic devotion, but it has merits, both intrinsic and from association, of no poor quality, and Miss Farrar made them count to a degree that has a significance either ominous or re assuring, according to one's view of the future und its possibilities. Are College Hoys Now Different { Some of us whose lingering in aca-. demie ?hades was done ? good many yeats ago are deeply my st i Ind-aud, to tell the dreaTul truth, are more than a little disquieted-by the news, coming now from one American col lege after another, of 3tuden\s who gather in great numbers and iraw up and sign petitions to the president t'.at half implore and halt command him on considerations tn let this country he dragged Into war. There is something queer about these proceedings-something that seems to hint a change in college boys that has hitherto passed without notice. Of course it is a fine thing to he wisely calm, and fine, also, to love peace and hate war, but-well, the college boys of other days were not ?jlven to demonstra'ions o' just this sort. There was about them a cer tain pugnacity, a certain instinctive uagerness to get into any convenient trouble that took the form of romb.it, no matter what the kind. 'Ibis wis nut wise, and it was not m all or even in many ways commendable, but ti was Youth, while petitioning for peace, with a perilous implication in many cases of 'ut any price," that is, or used to be. Old Age. So there be those who are wonder ing rather anxiouslyi what bas hap pened to put old heads on your, g shoulders. Those who thus wonder try to like the chang?, but ?bey ?im ply can't do lt, and they suspect "ac celeration" of 80UH? kind when heroes of the gridiron an.l the diamond ;;nd the track raise the noble but incon gruous cry of "Safety tirst!" Manning's Letter feared was impending above and be yond every development in this mat ter. You are correct in assuming that I "received this report in good faith," etc. I transmitted it to you in good faith, and I am convinced that the chief of police submitted it to me in good faith. Of course I am not per sonally a spy as to whether or not liquor is being sold in Charleston. Neither ls he. His office ls also one of some dignity, in view of which it has been the custom to act only through agents employed for detail work in de tective matters, unless where a case ls of such criminal grlvlty as to de mand his personal uttentlon. Frank ly, I must tell you that I do not be lieve lt was ever contemplated that a chief of police sbr-uld be held cate gorically responsible to such an ex tant as to Impute, on bis part, bad faith whenever he fails to define with precision the status of every man ac cused of being in, or the *xa?.i time of his going out ot Hie liquor business. lie advises me, however, that upon the report of his officers, and by a comparison with the "fine" list, made up from the records, the two parties you mentioned, indeed, went out ot. business only since the policy of raid ing began. They paid or were sche duled to pay fines up to the time when our .aids begun. The fact that L. Williams "died some months ago" as you said, only proves the tenacity with which the liquor business per sisted in Charleston; for I can tell you that on March 8 m summons was Issued calling him into court for vio lating the liquor law, although he had died on February 2. The place which he ran didn't die. which is the point in issue. At this time the police force had already begun thc policy of raid ing, under which we abandoned tue service of all summonses; the sum mons policy, ax you know, being mere ly a "Londonement of law breaking," and, of course. Incompatible with the nev; policy that you have compelled us to adopt, and under which so many thousands ot dollars are lost to the city In fines; but, ander which I am afraid some blind tigers will still exist. When raiding began, the business owned by L. Williams was still going on with a liquor adjunct, and was raided by the police and ceased to exist, not on account,, qf Mr. Wil liams' untimely taking off. but simply because his immediate successor de cided that for reasons of peace he would no longer wear the shroud of Williams In the liquor business. I am advised that the place which Mr. Wil liams ance kept, and which la still conducted by bis estate, managed by one ol his Immediate relatives, has, urtu very lately, and after hts. death, sold liquor, am? sold lt until the policy ot ratdtag began, and that it waa given Great news in Underwear! This little advertisement will be a means of your enjoying underwear comfort if you'll only follow its sug gestion and take a peep at these gar ments we're showing.

"Tia Sion U&h m Caudate* up simply and solely because of the policy of raiding; and not because Mr. Williams waa dead. As to the case of Hackett it appears from the records of the lire depart ment that his place ct: ught fire on April 3, and from the records of the police court that lt wus 'partially burned." Uefore this, the police had persistently raided it, and he was so discouraged that he said "he was go ing to give up business," which so far as the liquor end of it was concerned, the police department has every rea son to bel levi? had really happened before the fire occurred. In a short while thereafter, the place took fire. You can draw your own conclusions whether or not the close sequence of the fire had any relation to the per sistent raids of the police force. But the fact remains that before the fire, and because of the raids, he did go out of thc liquor business, which is as the chief of police has reported. None of us mortals can know wheth er poor "Lewie" Williams, who died in Greece on February 2, but who was up to that time running a liquor busi ness, even from that great distance. In Charleston, thereupon went to his eternal reward, or went to that place of "everlasting fire," which waB Only intended for very bad people, unlike us. Being very good people ourselves, we cat. without presumption, assume that he must certainly have met with the latter fate. If so. then my only comment ia that, notwithstanding the eternal fire. Mr. Williams, through his heirs, atill persisted in the liquor business until the police raids be gan. After the police raids began, Mr. Hackett's liquor business ceased to exist and in a few days his general business was completely demolished by fire. In neither the case of the Hackett fire here nor the Williamr. fire hereafter, did the Gre havo any thing to do with their going. Each went out of business because he was raided out. I stand upon the report of the chief. By the way. in the Hst of those fur nished me as being in business some time ago by you, do you, not recall that, aa I showed you In Columbia, there was the name of one man dead for three yearB? If because Williams is dead, you conclude he is no longer in business, why do you net apply the same inference to your cwn Hst, which you told me you han gotten from "reliable" sources? I hope I have covered these two cases to your satisfaction. Very truly yours, (Signed) JOHN P. GRACE, Mayor of Charleston. The following ls Governor Man ning's letter: "Hon. John P. Grace. Mayor, Charleston. S. C. "Dear Slr: In regard to the report of Chief ot Police Cantwell, dated April. 1915, to you, and by you trans mitted to me. This says: "I beg to report the following parties and places who have discontinued business. "I, like you, received this report in good faith, and took it to mean that these parties had discontinued busi ness a? a result ot the activities of the police squad. On looking Into this, however.

It is added that the company I has ceased working for Germany and ls now "throwing its resources to the ] filling of a big contract for the United i States government. < It is not explained why the chango 1 has been made; it may be that the ?

If we were ai big a military power as we are u money power," he concluded, "wo would be able to prevent unfair me thods of warfare, and able also to prevent a system of submarine retal iatition that endangers the lives of all neutrals cicsing the seas." Wo Bhould need, under that prescription to be strong enough just now to take by the throat every one of the great powers of Europe, one or two of the Bm al 1er ores, and apan in the East, and, in seasons of peace we should have to be seizing upon every nation except ourselves, every day, to com pel adherence to the code.
