THE QUESTION OF TERMS

Perhaps it would be well from now on to consider the President’s peace terms simply as in the nature of an agreement among th* allies, and no longer as an offer to Germany. They were formulated nine months ago, and have aver since been before the German government. But they were not even considered till it had become plain, not only that Germany couldnot win, but that she could not hope to escape defeat. There probably wag not a man in the empire who would have suggested the acceptance of them when the German armies were last ’ March plunging through the British line south of Ypres, or in July whan those armies had forced their way clear down to the Marne and were again seriously menacing Paris. The Germans then preferred victory to peace. Now they are forced to accept peace with defeat. Ha* not the time gene by for any dealing with Germany on. the basis, n*t simply of unconditional surrender, but of military disaster? A good many thing* have happened since January. F*r instance, the Balkan problem is practically solved, and n* assent that Germany could give to the

President’s plans for those countries would in any degree contribute to their realization. The peace terms as to the Balkans are now being put into effect. Their success does not depend in >any degree on Germany's agreement to them. Since the President outlined his terms, Turkey has been disposed of, and is about to drop away from- Germany. The near east is now safe. The British control most of Syria and Mesopotamia—which will never be turned back to Turkey—and are in possession of Jerusalem, Bagdad, Damascus and Beirut. This whole situation has been cleaned up gißce January. Germany now has no relation to it of any sort. Therefore, this demand of the President has no further application. » Quite as important is the alteration effected (by us in the status of Austria-Hungary. In January we declared for the maintenance of the sovereignty of this nation with autonomy for certain nationalities living within its borders —presumably the Czechoslovaks. We have gone far beYyond this in recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks as constituting an independent nation. Again the terms fail to meet the present conditions. The acceptance of

them by Germany could hardly be construed as involving an absolutely independent Bohemia. Yet to that we are solemnly pledged. Finally, it should be remembered that the question between 'this country and Germany is not one of arranging a peace program for the world, though that was the theory on which all of us, including our allies, acted last January; that business will be tended to by the United States and those associated with it in this war. Our business with Germany is solely one of bringing hbout an unconditional surrender, and this as a prerequisite to putting into effect any program that we and our friends may decide on for the better ordering of the affairs of the world. Later Germany, when chastened and repentant, may be admitted into the fellowship of nations. —Indianapolis News.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

A year ago I drove a steed, and said, “A horse is better for (although deficient in his speed) than any chugging motor car. A horse is- mankind’s faithful friend, a thing of spirit, heart and sense, and serves you well till in the end, he kicks you through a barbed wire fence.” My wife grew weary of ou"r plug, that often needed whip and goad; “I want a car that goes chug-chug,” she said, ‘‘and burns the dusty road.” The man who wants a peaceful life, with minimum of jolts and jar, will always strive to please his wife—and so I bought a motor car. The motor car I now indorse, and often wonder how a man can have the nerve to drive a horse, the most distinctive also ran. I meet old Dobbin on the road, and weep with pity for his woes; how earnestly he hates his load, and, jimmy, how slow he goes! A million flies are on his legs, his busy tail brings no relief; in every movement Dobbin begs for chloroform, to end his grief. The flies can’t bite my motor car, and so I blithely scorch along; no spavins can my pleasure mar, I fill the throbbing air with s mg.

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

Federal Food Administrator for Indiana

Powdered sugar may not be sold except for commercial mannfarrar,.,lng purposes and for commercial baking. Its sale for domestic consumption and to retailers for distribution among domestic consumers is forbidden. The foregoing shall become effective October 14, 1S»18, but Federal Food Administrators may permit wholesale and retail dealers to dispose of stocks then on hand, if satisfied they were purchased ia good: faith. Green' straw stacks are proof of wasteful threshing. Where stacks have started to turn green it is an indication that the wheat, which should have gone to the flour barrel, is sprouting and has been wasted County food administrators are requested to report all green stacks in their jurisdiction in order that the “slacker” machine may bo located and repaired before it is respousioiv for still greater waste. Many farmers have reported their great satisfaction at the saving effected by the execution of the program of the grain threshing division, which called for improved machinery and greater care to prevent wasted grain in the wagons and about the separators. Beet sugar growers should have a higher price for their product, based upon prevailing sugar quotations, the food administration believes. The administration will endeavor to secure a fair price for beets in order to maintain production. » Soft drink manufacturers will be permltttd a 50 per cent, sugar supply, as compared with their 1517. consumption, after November L The food administration intends to conserve materials used in the bottling business, other than sugar, and will limit the latter very radically. Official announcement has been made of the continuing policy of the food administration to support a $15.50 per hundredweight for hogs, in packers’ droves, at the Cbirago mar-

ONE-MINUTE FOOD TALKS

SAVE FOOD—TO SAVE A MILLION AMERICAN LIVES.

Men who know Mr. Herbert Hoover closely say that he is aJwass careful aad cautious and coassrsalir* in every statement that h* aaku. So when Mr. Hoover aa« oat with the remark that Amaaiaaa people can save a million American lives by saving food, every bap aad girl and man and woman in this country ought to stop and listen ami .fttak Mr. Hoover lived fer yearn in Europe. He was in the midfl* es the war for three yeaj-s. Ha taai jpst returned from a trip to Finan. Ha is in as good a position ta'gSs* “war dope” as almost anybody in this country. And he says that tijp wax* can be won next year. But there is a big “If.” “If,” says Mr. Hoover, "if the American people, out of their food economies, will save the food necessary to maintain the strength of the armies and allied civil populations.— “But if,” he says further, “by failure to save food and enable the United States to increase by onethird its food shipments to France, the w;ar is prolonged to 1929, the nation is warned it will cost an add* tional million American liven."

Met. The packers have agreed to stand by the policy which is intended to guarantee pork producers of a fair return, corn and feed prices considered. Fair price lists have been reported from thirty-three counties and the organization is being perfected in ocher counties of the state. On eight staples the variation has been from 50 per cent, in the retail prices of ;milk —from 10 cents to la cents; to a ■ 2* per cent, difference in the prices iof a 1« ounce loaf of bread, which range from 8 to 10 cents. In other instance* there was a slight variaI lion, usually explained by differences in freight rates. The fair price publication is the method adopted by the ' food administration to indicate to the consumer about what should be I paid for staples, which may be the ’ subject of profiteering in unlicensed retail stores. There will be publishtd, October 14, a new official card for the regulation of public eating houses. The new | regulations will differ from the old ones in that many are to be mandatory and will be enforced through sources of supply. In the meantime every county administrator has been asked to nominate an active hotel and restaurant chairman to assist in rhe enforcqment of the regulations. Enlarged demands from General Pershing for material, resulting from the progress of the American and allied forces on the western front, in Prance, have necessitated the temporary withdrawal of many ships from the grain carrying trade. This condition has caused a corresponding curtailment of ships from interior points, and has filled the seaboard warehouses and terminal elevators, I checking the entire grain movement. Yet the food administration is positively announcing that there is no I occasion for farmers accepting less the guaranteed price of wheat, i They are urged to have patience as the situation is expected to clear up in a short time.

Get that. Get that hard. LACK OF FOOD MIGHT CAUSE THE WAR TO RUN OVER INTO 1929. We have been in the war long enough to know that four-fifths of a war is fought behind the lines. We know enough now to knew that war does hinge on ether things than actual fighting. For the coming year (ending July L 1919) we must ship 5,730,000 tons mere of food to Europe than we sent last year. Here is how. The food administration has figured out that if eats one-half pound less .per week of breadstuffs (anything mad* of cereals of any kind) and onehalf pound less per week of meats and fats (beef, pork, poultry, dairy and vegetable oil 1 products) than he is now eating, it will solve the problem. That is not much for you, but it is. oh, so much for the world as a whole. To stop the war in 1919! To keep our allies strong so that Germany may be whipped decisively in 1919! Or are you going to eat as yon like and drag the war over into 1920? A million American lives —and many other*—are up to you—are in your hand*.
