Is there anything more fetching than a peach of a girl up a peach tree when the peaches are blushing red amidst the green? If so. what? When? Where? Eighteen Goucher College girls eighteen, count 'em out on a Hartford peach farm, climbing the peach trees with the trained agility of gymnasium athletes, poising on ladders fifteen feet tall, reaching with bared arms for the ripened fruit well, now, isn't that Hartford County peach orchard an Arcada that should wake up the poets? Those Goucher-glrl-picked peaches will he coming to Baltimore right along during the next three weeks! Go after 'em. get "em. can 'em, sugar 'em down and pour cream ovr 'em. When the dew Is on the peach and the girl is in the tree and the mocking birds are warbling all around here this poem ends. Enough! There s the picture! There's the Hartford Couzty Arcada within an hour's run of Baltimore! Some other poet who can make "Goucher girl" rhyme with something more poetically fitting than maddening whirl make take up and round out the poem as it should he rounded out. A peach orchard, when tho fruit is ripe, is a paradise. And one of these peach paradises, with eighteen blooming Goucher girls gathering the blushing fruit it's enough to raise the ghost of James Whitcomb Riley. Maybe some Goucher girl poet will make an Odyssey, or, shall we nay, a Taradise Regained, of the life in the Hartford County peach paradise. We would suggest that the poem be in Whitcomb Riley style rather thau in the Miltonlc or Homeric. Baltimore American. Boys, please find out when the next train goes to Baltimore.
IT IS TRUE NEVERTHELESS A reader does not believe our statement that bread is cheaper in London than ia this country, it is true nevertheless. Bread is cheaper in Londoa than in the Lr. S., notwithstanding London gets it flour from the United States, Canada, Argentina or Australia, with the cost of a long voyage to be added to its price. It is true that flour that sells here at from $10.50 to $12 per barrel sells for $7 per barrel in London, "and that while this country is mourning the passing of the 5-cent loaf, Londoners can get a one-pound loaf for 2 Vi. pence, or 5 cents. Something of this difference in favor of London is undoubtedly due to the fact that London bakers are content with a smaller profit than are our bakers, but the chief reason for the difference in prices is that the British Food Controller, Lord Rhondda. supreme in the matter of fixing prices, and that the difference in favor of the British consumer is due to the fact that the government, by an appropriation, stands for the difference between the actual cost of wheat and flour and the cost at which the people are permitted to buy bread. The difference, in short, is mainly due to a subsidy by the government. This ia a fact that manifestly must be taken into consideration in comparing the prices of bread in London and in this country. Yet even with this fact admitted it remains true that even before the war bread in London was frequent-

WELL, FARMERS, WHAT ABOUT THIS ? Thf Iron Trad Review insists that Congress had the farmers, not the steel huins in view, when it talked of war profits. According to the trade journal corn averages fifty-nine and a fraction not quite mxiv cents Tor the three-year period before the war, while this year's crop will bring: an average of $1.9 plus a fraction. The total value is $6,273,SOt) or $4.tiM,,!K,.r excess profits. There you are! The farmers insist that the steel business is profiting more than it should from the war; the steel publication puts it up to the farmers. As an interested bystander we're for all war profiting being cut out.

We find that Jeremiah O'Leary, the American spy, wrote a letter to Mr. Riddr saying that he would go to hell for his country. Unless we hear dissent we move to make it unanimous that O'Leary perform that service right away for he couldn't do any better for his country. -
NO little sympathy and well wishes attend the people of Gary who are refreshingly American and who are valiantly fighting t6 prevent the agents of the money kings of Wall Street from completely dominating their city government. Like the gallant line of Frenchmen, who held back the Prussians for months without other help, the independent voters under the leadership of Mayor Johnson assailed and abused by Wall Street's newspapers,' it well-compensated fake reform committees and its aldermen, the people of Gary are successfully opposing that powerful and gigantic money autocracy that aims to ultimately capture the statehouse itself.

LADY'S DRESS. By Anabcl Worthington.
The whole secret of tha smartnast of this dress Is the clever isae of the exagrerated points for trimming. A almple little frock like this is almost indispensable to the average woman, and this pattern is especially recommended because It require so little material. It button down the centre front. The plain waist and also the three gored skirt are fathered to each side of a very wide belt. Tho matter of the sleeves Is to be decided by the wesrer, as ths pattern ia perforated for short sleeves as well as for the long, close fitting ones. Large square pockets are stitohod over the hips and trimmed with the same material as tba collar and cuffs. The dress pattern. No. 8450, is out la sizes 3G to 42 inches bust measure. Width at the lower edge is 2 yards. As on the figure the 30 inch size requires 4'5 yards of 3t inch material with yard ef 36 inch contrasting goods.. To obtain this pattern send 10 cents to the office of this publication.

Indiana German Tells What Autocracy Means
Herman Wilke of Elwood Speaks to Allen County Defense Council on German Tyranny.
"T know Germany. 1 was born there. I went to school in th Fatherland, and let me tell you. my good German friends here tonight, if you are in the audience, that you do not know what you are talkine about when you support German autocracy. If you are honest about it you will say that you and your fathers fled from Germany just as mine did. to escape the military tyranny. I know Prussianiem. You may have been born elsewhere in the empire, but the brutal iron heel of the government that has drenched this whole world In its war for world rower was the same power that made every German who had a little cottage or mud. hut. no matter how poor he was. to board a German soldier free of that charge. That soldier was the aitocrat in that home. His word was law. If he punished a child or knocked him from the chair to the floor, the father must smile.

Songs of the Sammies (Br TJuited Press.) TEARM,KTRAVEICLptHKtf"UfBv ' r RANC.E, fcept. 2o. (By mail). The Marines have lost ne of the keenest patriots in the ranks, a youngster who hated the Kaiser so fiercely that he talked about it in his aieep. He is under detention in a base hospital and likely will be sent back to hia home, the result of gassing and shrapnel wounds on the head, suffered when he fought with the Canadians. It was not until the Marine had sailed that it was knon the youth had been with the Canadlana. He admitted having served in a foreign army and being discharged as unfit by the Canadian medical authorities. The record of his case howed that his heart was seriously affected by gassing and that his skull had been cracked by a shell fragment. After the Marines came into camp here the boy became demented. Another Marine, a sergeant, whose mind was affected by long- service in the tropic, set out one night to catch the Kaiser. French troops picked him up several miles from the American camp but he escaped and has not been heard of since.

That is a type of the German organisation for you. What I have said cannot be denied. "Let me tell you something else. I have been asked so many times how can the German people, who are generally so peaceful, have changed into such murderers. I tell you that for years

I tell you that the German people have had w much of this doctrine soaked into tnem by this constant effort that they really believe what has been taught, and cannot escape from the virus. "My mother carried me here in her arms. She knew what military tyranny was. for she suffered until we came to the land of the free to live under the God-given Stars and Stripes.

They have taken a solemn vow to foli low our flag until it floats in triumph over Dresden, if reed be. And their march, my friends, won't be the march of the Germans through Belgium, with Its crimes, and Us blood, and its tears, for they will say to the German people, Coma, my brothers, Into the enjoyment at the frulta of a great freedom of a world that knows ro divine right of kinga and that hall mean for all peace and happiness.
