No account is here fi taken of early British plans to ac- m quire Texas, California, Alaska or g: Central America, as these were in no pi case "followed up." . tl In South America the British have m ai one uirrie or aiioiiitri Ma-umu u their claims over all Guana and part of Venezuela. During the Napoleon- nic wars a British naval expedition oc- t( cupied and held for several years the ^1 Prata river region, including what is today Uruguay and northern Argen- p, tina. In Europe the British have aban- S( doned Helgoland to Germany, the n Ionian islands to Greece, and their Sl claims in Spitzergen to Norway. They (j have lost their French empire, and Q. Queen Elizabeth once threw away p an offer from the Dutch Protestants, then in revolt against Spain, of the Ci crown of the Netherlands, Hanover, though never incorporated in the empire, was long united with it in the person of the Hanoverian kings. In Africa and Asiatic Turkey the , . I di British have regained most of their ! n< former lost opportunities as a result; ^ of the present war. But they have | ^ never consolidated their temporary j ' advances in Afghanistan, Tibet and; ci other wild countries on the border ?''g India: contenting themselves with oc-j casional military expeditions..

Patrioitsm stirred the I farmers then to do their utmost and : count not the cost, and patriotism brought about food conservation in 1 nearly every home. But now the call j of patriotism is not so appealing, i though it is just as much needed. If j American people cannot get food, orj if they have to pay an ever-advanc-; ing price for it, there will be turmoill food riots and anarchy to threaten ! our Government. The need of more' food production is clearly stated byj the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.Sun, j which clearly senses the whole situa_ i tion. In discussing this question the Enquirer.Sun says: "And yet the situation that confronts the people. not onlv of the South, but of the entire nation. serious. It would be useless to undertake to disguise the fact. No one can afford t? close his eyes and refuse tof see that the situation is serious. "Yes, we are aware of the fact! that there is much money in the j country.
