And then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.—John 8:12. ; * i Food and Our Future IS the supremacy of the United States in the world of nations threatened by the possible failure of our food supply to keep up with the procession! decidedly yes, says Dr. E. D. Ball, hard thinking Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. Said he: “The United States is growing much faster in population than out* food supply warrants. In forty years we have trebled our food production per man, but Europe still produces twice as much per acre as we do, although we produce four times as much per man. “The answer to America’s future lies in our ability to produce food—more per acre, and still more —Hot in iron, coal and seaeoast as a sapinet half-wit told gaping audiences throughout the chautauqua lecture course last summer. “The economic history of the world shows that Jthose nations which are food EXPORTING, like Russia, Germany and the United States, have grown and waxed powerful. Those which are food IMPORTING wane' and grow weaker by comparison. “Our next great problem is to find some means to double our food production per acre. Can it be done? Easily. lowa, the greatest food producing area of equal size in the world, could average thirty-two bushels per acre on her wheat land as easily as fourteen; and, of course, she must do it if we are to grow, for on our food production depends our future as a nation.” Finance —High or Low? NOT that it means more jingles for our particular jeans, but we have relished all along the thought that the world’s greatest gold supply is ours, America’s. “Three billion five hundred million!” What a pile of glittering shekels it must make! More than half of the gold in the whole world! Think of it! Stowed away in neat piles in subtreasury vaults, and the world owing us still more! Personally we never understood much finance. It’s too deep, hut we handed it to our fellow citizens who did understand it sufficiently to garner to our shores all this gold. That’s high finance, we said. Now comes the New York World with the news that we have not only the greatest stack of gold, but also a pile of German paper marks, which if baled like hay and piled on end would overshadow the Woolworth Building, probably. Americans own 80.000,000,000 marks. Their par value would be about $20,000,000,000. However, at financial bargain counters, we picked them up for a mere $904,000,000. Today they are worth $56,000,000. We only lost $859,000,000, or about eight dollars per person. “Never touched me,” someone says. “I didn’t buy marks.” Wrong again, Mister; This flyer in gold, and the one in marks, said to be the greatest financial bubble of all time, touches every one in the land. Americans worked, either with hands or mind, to produce the wealth that begot this huge pile of gold. Some of the gold, ot* its equivalent in currency, we swapped for German marks. What really purchased both gold and marks was the produce of our farms, mines or factories, plus our labors. Today, like old Midas, we are gold poor. Our $3,500,000,000 is idle, a drug to our trade. Our bales of marks are useless and of steadily decreasing value. Our flyer in currency may have been profitable to the jugglers who engineered it, but to us it seems like pretty low finance. i 1 A Valued Lesson to George ' WHEN we walk along Illinois St. and see examples of the three modern Grecian arts—restaurant keeping, shoe shining and candy making—we are reminded of George Leopoldous. George just recently learned that citizenship in the United States means something besides money. He came to America in 1896, penniless. Os the Grecian arts of today George chose candy making as his vocation. When he had collected a fortune of considerable dimensions, like many others, he went hack home. The Turks came to Smyrna, where George had taken up his residence, and they left George SIOO,OOO poorer by reason of their visit. But his United States citizenship papers saved his life. George’s misfortune will evoke few tears; and George himself may not appreciate the value of American citizenship. He probably feels like the negro who, as he was about to he hanged, observed to the sheriff: “Boss, this certainly is going to be a lesson to me.” / Have You a Little Still in Your Home? LIQLOR stills have added another fire hazard in Indianapolis, according to Fire Chief Johh J. O’Brien,' and he has brought the matter to the attention of the board of public safety! The pesky things have a way of blowing up and setting fire to things unless they are properly housed. Mayor Shank has instructed Chief O’Brien to issue orders that citizens owning stills must keep them out of the downtown district and out of buildings that are not fireproof. ** It does make one a bit uncomfortable to wonder whose still is going to blow tip next and whether our neighbors have taken the proper precautions against fire hazard in the operation of their distilling apparatus.

LLOYD GEORGE DEFENDS STAND AGAINST ENEMIES Accepts Challenge and Plunges Into Fight to Hold His Job as Premier of Britain. By RALPH H. TURNER United, Xewa Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 11. Premier Lloyd George, with his usual quickness In accepting a challenge, has already plunged into the fight against his opponents who are clamoring with increasing force .for his resignation. With the expedience of a man determined to defend his job, the premier has hurriedly arranged a luncheon engagement for Saturday at Manchester, his birthplace. There he will,deliver a speech replying to the criticism of his home and foreign policies, especially his conduct of the Near East which has broken on the British public with sudden force in the last few days. Newspapers whiph are closely following the activities of the aggressive little Welshman are confident that ho has no intention of quitting cold. They suggest that he may resign, but onl yfor the purpose of appealing to the country through a general election, thereby going over the heads of his critics and appealing directly to the voters for vindication*. V irmThctiFd AS IN STATE SF DEMORALIZATION Gen. Pershing Starts on Tour of Investigation—Weeks Prepares Annual Report. By ROBERT J. BEXHER United Sews Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—General Pershing, head of the country's military establishment, expects next month to start on a tour of inspection of the important army camps and posts. The tour, it Is learned, is a result of reports from corps area commanders which, according to authorities here, picture the army ! n a State of utter demoralization. While Pershing is investigating nnditior.s himself, Secretary of Wm Weeks will he preparing his annual report to Congress, with recom mendations for an increase in the peace strength of the military organization from its present 12,0t>0 officers and 125,000 men to an enlisted personnel of 13,000 officers, and 130,000 men. These developments foreshadow another bitter tight between • the Army and Navy Executive Department officials and the “Small Army and Navy Men" In Congress, when appropriation bills come up for passage In the short December terra. Fighting IJnes Drawn Already the fighting lines are being drawn on both sides and “open air diplomacy.” in .the form of propaganda from both, is being drafted. Weeks, asking for increased Array appropriaUons, and Denby, contemplating a rquest for an Increase in Navy personnel from the present strength of 86,000 to 96,000, will accompany their requests with sturdy written and spoken appeals to the congressional committees passing on the bills. Meantime, the same "small Army and Navy" men will -dominate the committees passing on appropriations for the War and Navy establishments. And from this quarter comes the intimation that, instead of hearkening to appeals for larger personnels, the present combined appropriations of some half billion dollars will he trimmed forty or fifty millions for the coming fiscal year. • Chairman Madden of the House Appropriations Committee and bugbear of the executive departments, says he will call hi3 committee together Nov. 10 and that various subcommittees will begin work immediately on the plan to have these bills ready for report to the Hou-.e soon after It convenes, Dec. 4. The Navy fight, therefore, will begin next month.

Prince ’s Failure to Pick Bride May Cause Rozv in Royal Family

By United .Vet cs VANCOUVER, E. C., Oct. 11.—The Prince of Wales has passed up so many girls suggested to him as eligible future English Queens, that King George, Queen Mary and Lloyd George are getting tiredf of it, and a royal row is in prospect within the royal family, according to Lord Claud Nigel Hamilton, who is in British Columbia to hunt big game. Lord Hamilton is deputy master of King George’s household and formerly for five years his royal highness' equerry. The King, Queen and prime minister are agreed that the Prince should marry and that they should pick his bride, but “smiling Eddie,” can’t see it. Lord Claud declared. Plenty of eligible girls have been lined up, but

GREEKS AND TURKS BOTH FIGHT FOR LIBERTY, SUBJECTS DECLARE

THE CASE FOR TURKEY

By M. IC ZIA BEY, Son of Reshid Pasha, Formerly Turkish Foreign Minister and Now Turkish Delegate to London; Author of "Speaking of the Turk.” After centuries of strife and discussions the Near East question is today surrounded by a maze of side issues added to it by conflicting racial, religious and economic Interests. These totally obscure main issues. I want to warn Americans not to believe implicitly all you hear about Turkish atrocities and massacres. The stories of atrocities committed by the Turks are from time to time eenied or counterbalanced by accounts In the press of the world of massacres and atrocities committed by the nonTurks. Reserve Judgment It is only just to ask Americans to reserve judgment until an impartial investigation has established the guilt for the most deplorable happenings which have plunged Anatolia in fire and blood. The present Near East crisis is really a dispute between the Turks and certain other nations and elements over certain territories in the Near East and certain principles to be applied there. Some of them claim territories on the ground that the territories belonged to their country hearly five centuries ago or that their nationals hold a majority therein. Others claim altruistic purposes—to safeguard the right of minorities and to keep the straits opened to the commerce of the world. Turks Argue To argue that Constantinople should return to Greece just because nearly forty years before Columbus discovered America the city happened to be the seat of a Greek empire Is as senseless as to argue that the very American city of New York should now be returned to Holland just because the Dutch originally founded the city of New Amsterdam. More than three years ago Musj tapha Kemal Pasha, moved hy the ; same spirit which animated George Washington, drafted, with the assistance of delegates selected by the people, all the principles for which v - key was ready to stand or tali, document which embodies the ! . ciples is the Turkish National Pact, which for Turkey is what the Declaration of Independence is for America. !

as soon as the Prince learns he is ex pected to marry one, he deserts her completely, his lordship says. "No one seems to be able to do anything with him and I do not really know what will happen,” declared milord in accents pained. "As soort Ais the King or Queen start to talk matrimony to him he shies off at once.” Intimate association with the Prince of AVales taught him that the young man has a mind of his own. the former royal equerry said, and leads him to expect that there will be fireworks before the Prince himself decides on a suitablo future .

WORDS INSTEAD OF BULLETS By REA Service NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Wjords instead of bullets were the weapons in a miniatu -e Turko-Grecian war staged in the banquet hall of a New York hotel. | Turks and Greeks —business men, politicians and propagandists—broke bread together and then bombarded each other with accusations, and with denials of atrocities. The Foreign Policy Association staged the debate to give America an intimate close up picture of the claims and counterclaims of the warring factions in the Near East. Chief protagonists in the debate —K. Tsolsinos. former secretary to Premier Venizelos and now in America as secretary of the League of Greek Liberals, and M. K. Zia Bey, New York business man and writer and son of a former Turkish foreign minister—have written for NEA Service their widely divergent views of the Near East question. - . >

It formed the most powerful barrier against the wave of barbarism which then threatened to inundate the civilized world.

There is a tremendous amount of labor in the preparation of the cocoons and in the unreeling of the silk from the cocoons and re reeling for commercial use.

DECLARES BOOZE OBDEfi ON SHIPS WIFE HOED 0000

Attorney General Confident His Opinion Will Withstand All Court Attacks. / By United Xeics WASHINGTON, Oct. IL—Attorney General Daugherty is confident that his opinion banning intoxicants from foreign vessels within the three mile limit, will withstand all attacks launched against it before the Supreme Court. He is of the opinion that only by a complete reversal of previous decisions could the Supreme Court nullify his ruling. The Department of Justice Is preparing for a test case on the mling prohibiting possession and transportation within the three-mile limit by foreign vessels. The department has let it be known to Atlantic shippers now meeting in protest In London, Puis and New Ycfrk that such a case will be expedited to the Supreme Court. The ship booze ruling, Daugherty explained, is based largely on decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in the so-called Walker and Anchor Line cases, and he is confident that the court consistently could not do other than sustain his ruling. “The Supreme Court,” he declared, "has decided the question of possession and transportation of liquor within the three-mile limit. If that matter, in all its phases was not dealt with directly, at least it was handled in a sufficiently convincing way to sustain my ruling.” Looks For Opposition Daugherty looks for opposition only from foreign shippers. He does not believe that American owners will attempt to dispute the legality of the opinion. Meantime, while the Stato and Treasury departments are busy formulating rules for enforcing the Daugherty liquor rulings, Judge James J. Britt, counsel for prohibition headquarters, has come forward with a lengthy defense of the attorney general's ruling. “The eighteenth amendment,” Judge Britt declared by way of introduction, “was proposed, considered and ratified at a time of profound devotion by the people to public duty; its purpose was of deep concern at a time when their hearts were consecrated to high and noble endeavors; it was brought forward and ratified with an expedition and unanimity that carried unmistakable evidence of a deep, determined, and far-reaching moral purpose." THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE Damage done by Turkish troops to railroads and business property in Smyrna was “not as serious as first reported.” This Is cabled | by A. B. Hall, Uncle I F JR Sam's commercial atiejj tache at Athens, after a \ rßLffi personal tour of the \ -zWM “devastated regions.” You probably suspected I Jr * as much at the time.

All except 75,066 of them are dead, reports Gen. Julian S. Carr, comman-der-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans. News like this startlingly reminds us that we are all traveling to the cemetery. If everybody kept this grim fact in mind, and acted accordingly, there would be less mischief and brazen deviltry. Our stop-over on earth Is brief, yet many of us are as ruthless as if we were here for all i eternity. FORD. In Detroit consumers pay sls a ton retail for coke.
