Show i: Mill Eyliii yiMMOTbS)! 1 I An examination of tlie American press shows that the German Avail for food, which was the tirst sign I of life of the new-born German Government, has not aroused any large amount of compassion over here, j I To many observers this "propaganda'' is important as the opening gnu of Germany's fight for a victory j I at the peace table. All our late full-Germans. pro.-Germans. and pacifists are expected to come out of , I hiding forthwith and "show mercy to the defeated." '"They will come," predicts the Kansas City btar, "bearing bouquets, asking permission to offer consolation to the prisoner and to leave tracts and t lowers j f in the cell. . . . Heaven spare us now from mush." On the other hand, Mr. Herbert O. Hoover, r f tlie Food Administrator, says "there has been a great deal of unnecessary furor in this country about t feeding the Germans. We are not calling upon the American people to make any sacrifice with a view to 1 feeding the Germans. Itemove the water-tight blockade and the Germans will take care of .themselves." I The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST, this week November 30th takes up the latest N. I phase of the peace negotiations and by presenting the sentiments of editors of all political persuasions g I gives the reader a concrete idea of how America feels upon the subject of feeding Germany this winter.
