WAR BREAD FOR U. S. Uncle am'rf wh'-at surplus, shipped to Europe moro than a. month a?-, is r ported fur from being enough. More wluat 13 crucially needed there. The only way .o ke?p our allies from .starving is by making a real sacrifice ourselves. Wo mP-jht ju.st as well get used to tho idea of war Ljrtad, for it i.4 t-n the way. The white loaf bid.-i fair to be as obsoleto on our tables as it is on thope of Kurope before the year is over. In Finland thrr and a half million ponjdp are living on a war bread made larly of ground birch LarK and beech buds with a ery unall proportion of wlieat. Germany's Avar bread is so bad that it is causing all sorts of intestinal troubles. Our bread, fortunately, will be nothing like that. We havo corn mf,al, which will br our salvation. As a rule, Americans eat about a bushel apiece of corn meal In a year. It's c or.siib-red more of a delicacy than a staple in most parts of the country. This year tho crop permits us "0 bushels per person. That is two an J a half bushels a month an I we cannot starve on that. Ther" is no need to fear pellagra from a war bread cf wheat mixed with corn. It is tho b:id arrangement of the diet which causes that and other digstivo diseases. The addition to the dietary of a reasonable amount of meat and milk together with tho all-important green vegetables, will obviate any danger from that source. The great thing is to get one's mind adjusted to tho change. That donp, the rest is easy. All-wheat bread Is not necessary for us. Just ono thing is necessary if we a;; to preserve our lives and the Jife of the nation. That one thing is the winning of the war. Anything which will contribute to that enu is good for us. In the macter of war bread, th sensible thing is to get us-mI to it gradually. We cannot change from wheat to corn sudd.ily with success. Hut we can begin at once to mix a small proportion of corn meal with everv loaf. This proportion may ho increased cradually until it reaches half or 'two-thirds without causing difficulty.

OUR PEACE PROPOSALS. Any anticipations of a returning peace on any such basis as the status uuo ante bellum, with German suzerainties all over the globe, ought, following the recent public statement by Lloyd George, and th message to congress delivered by Pres't Wilson, Tuesday, be pretty well focoered from the public mind, and the mind of the Prussian autocracy as well. (pen and fr e consideration ot covenants of pcace is. the only way permanent o ace can be secured, Pres't Vi!sm t'M r'nurs. n restated tpecificially and emphatically the p ;ice aims of th allies, so far as the T'i!iiI i-tnifs is KPi:c.rin'il, probably more than otherv i-e. for the lam-.it of th- Russian people, but he s-tat d tbt The restatement was specific, declaring: "Agai".t private int.'rr.ational un.lerstandr i -r - ; a .l;it' freedom of the seas; removal of ..II n!)uir 1 artier.-- rnd establishment of ti ;nli' agreements; r'ductioji of national armaPie.its; it:ii :i i ti ll adjustment of all colonial claims bied on a strict oos-rance f th intere-ts of co'.eiiied; the evacuation of all oi-ciipie! i;isiaii t i ritory and the freedom for Kussiu !n stt!ir.; p.er own international a:iaii.; evac iatiori and restoration of Pelgium; r a '.:.i ! ioi a:d restoration of occupied Trench territory. in 1 idmi; A'..-ace-LTrraine; readjustment af Italian frontiers; autonomy for the P ip!e f AM-fria-Hungary: Koumania.

There sc eras no difference of opinion as between rs't Wilsop and Lloyd Georu as to where the allies ;tand on this subjtct of peace and Germany, it would iprear. might as well tak notice, and stop rtirtinc: ith nor.senso if vhf hopes for a peace without first aking a good, sound thrashing. o far as Ilussia is conrerned. !: is also not;-. to the hqlshoviki that the allies l.ave rpuite as mucii ?t.- of international justier as :hey have, eer. though in their proletariat egotism md demago-rutry they mäv persist in thinking that ;hey alor.e are capable of such h.;;h ideal.

analyzed, taken to physicians and talked about with friend, but the more you fus.s over a trouble arising from over-strained r.erv-?. the worse it gets. Physicians and medicines are helpless. People who perform manual labor are not much subject to such affections. They corne from throe sourer?, too much mental work and worry, too much social and other dissipation, and, too much thinking about oneself. These conditions for many people were much relieved by the busy lives that former people of leisure have led in war time. The woman who has consented for the country's pood to enter a munition factory has no longer time to consider whether she is feeling as vell as she did the day before, or minutely to analyze and compare the sensations following the use of different medicine3. It will be much the same in this country. The people who were living dull lives at home without regular tasks, and were looking for nervous trouble, always found it. If they could be persuaded to take up some regular tasks, whether doing their own housework, or entering some form of war activity, there Is quite a chance that the ailments that go. with a purposeless life would disappear.

GOOD YEAR FOR ATHLETICS. Among the optimistic forecasts for 1918 is a prophecy that it will be "a good year for athletics." That promise may be accepte dubiously by those interested in professional baseball and college football. Put the sport prophets explain that they don't refer to any sort of games played by a few for the entertainment of spectators. They mean that there is going to be a larger volume of athletic exercises and athletic competition in this country than ever before. And in that they are unquestionably right. The United states government, according to on sport writer, is developing the greatest lot of athletes the world has ever seen. He refers to the army, where every man is undergoing thorough physical training and where football, baseball and other sports tend to bring out any special ability. The war department is warmly encouraging sports at tho training camps, and treating athletics in general about as seriously as target shooting and bayonet practice. It is obser. able, too, that the colleges are going In for athletics more vigorously than ever before. And with this important difference that it i'n't the star athletes who are exercising, but all the students. The same tendency is found in high schools, and other institutions. And the ordinary civilians, roused by these contagious examples, and especially by the influence of "soldierly ben ring" as they see it in men from the camp, are shaking off their apathy and brushing up physically. Walking, always a fine outdoor sport, will be much in vogue this year. It's a fine outlook. An athletic nation is a healthy nation, an efficient nation, a winning nation.

A MODEST REQUEST. A French newspaper published in the trenches tells of a certain German officer who was taken prisoner, severely wounded, and was nursed back to health in a French military hospital. When he had recovered, he was effusive in his thanks to the French medical officer who had cured him, and said: "I want to prove my gratitude to you in a practical way. Ask me anything you wish, and if I am able I will do it, and don't forget that I am a wealthy and influential man. What can I do for you?" The doctor answered simply, "Spare our hospitals." It vas a fair and modest request, but there isn't any evidence that it was granted. The Germans kept right on blowing up the French hospitals.

GOOD Pi:ilIIAIS. (Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.) The Indiana Patriotic league of which Henry Lano Wilson is president and which is said to include more than 50,000 members, has announced its determination to pass upon all speeches made in the future and to denounce the speaker in the event he fails to measure up Its conception of a patriotic utterance, and to demand the Americanization in name, principle and policy of all German organizations. We have no doubt as to the patriotic intent of this organization but are constrained to suspect that it may be the source of some injustice. We are led to this by the fact that one of the motives urging it to its present action was the speech of Norman Angell, a I.ritish publicist, before the Contemporary club at Indianapolis, in which he expressed the opinion that thr allies should have pursued a different policy toward Kussia. Now there are a great many people, inclining Lloyd George, who hold to opinions quite similar. Wo are unable to see anything in this dissent to justify the denunciation of the loyalty of Mr. Angell, although we are not familiar with the full text of his address. It is not such utterances that are harmful. And it occurs to us that tho league will l" doing a far greater and more needful service If it denounces speakers who are trying to destroy tho people's faith in their responsible leaders by attacking the food administration, the railroad administration, the war department. It is not the patriotism that curses the kaiser that counts in America Just now but th patriotism that supports the president, and we are wondering if Mr. Wilson's organization is prepared to do that. We hopp so.

Tin: Lin off Tin: sfgat: ii niu:L. (Springiicld, Ohio, sun.) Last October the food administration cut in half the supply of sugar to confectioners, but on Friday Mr. Ilolph in view of the new crops, increased the confectioners allowance to 8 0 percent, while suggesting conservation and the use of sugar substitutes. "This ruling." he said, 'should enable these manufacturers to maintain their organizations and continue in their employ the people who have been with them for so many years." In other words, having practiced a valuable economy in an important foodstuff and havlntr accustomed ourselves to half our normal consumption of confectionery, we are to give up the economy and reform the habit all over aain. The confectioners, having made a preliminary adjustment to war conditions, are to throw the good accomplishment overboard. And although Mr. Hoover assured us in his public statement intended for Mr. Heed's senate committee that scarcity of sugar and the need of economy In its use would continue throughout the war. Mr. Ilolph blandly says: "It is hoped that as soon as definite information is obtained as to the p-obable outturn of new crops all limitations will be removed.' Observe the hist five words. We can hear the average housekeeper prving the lid off the sugar barrel and exclaiming: "What's vhe use?" N. Y. Sun.

In the hope of discouraging the kaiser we have cabled him at great expense that for ytars and years we. putting faith in our iron f.st, our shining sword and our steel-hard .will to win. conducted campaigns for the elimination of boiled cabbage from the body politic and the restoration of pantalets to approximately half of it. with no result save humiliating defeat in each

"If we take, we must also keep. A foreign territory is not incorporated until the day when the rights of property of Germans are rooted In its soil. With all necessary prudence, but also with inflexible determination, a process of expropriation should be inaugurated, by which the Poles and the Alsatians and Lorrainers would be gradually transported to the interior of the empire, while Germans would replace them on tho frontiers."

land: die Arbelt des 20 ten Jahrhunderts 1911, pp. 82-83.) "When we have won, and obtained territorial concessions, Ave shall receive lands inhabited by French or Russians, consequently by enemies. One wonders if such an increase of territory will improve our situation. In our national egoism and hardness of heart we have not got so far as to demand from a vanquished enemy the cession of -uninhabited territory. "To speak openly on the question of evacuation' has its utility, so that our enemies should know that this extreme measure has its supporters In Germany "Those who have learned to think according to the historical school will be horrified when we demand the 'evacuation of land Inhabited by Europeans; for that signifies the violent interruption of an historical development centuries old. Resides, the idea wounds the sensibilities of civilized man and is contrary to the modern law of nations which protects individual property. Put If we consider seriously the peculiar position of the German people, squeezed into the middle of Europe and running the risk of being suffocated for want of air, it must be agreed that we might be compelled to demand from a vanquished enemy, either in the east or in the west, that he should hand over the unpopulated territory. "We must not contemplate an offensive war undertaken with the object of getting territory evacuated; but we ought to get used to the idea that such a step would be admissible as a reply to an enemy's attack." (Daniel Frymann, Wenn ich der Kaiser ware, 19 11 J, 21st td. 1014. pp. 140-141.)

"We wish to commence in a new empire a new life of which the supreme aim shall be: Greater Germany whose task shall be the wellbeing of Germans. All other laws are dependent on this great one. "The reiehstag of greater Germany is to be elected by universal suffrage. All voters must be married and SO years of age. Voting rights will be conferred only on those admitted to the rights of complete citizenship. Those only may become complete citizens whose mother tongue is German. wiose education corresponds to that of the com.aon school (Volksschule), who are of pure German blood, and who take the oath of allegiance. Lights of citizenship -may be canceled by the courts for any word or act contrary to German interests. "The new addition, the greater Germany, will only be represented in the reiehstag when their Germanization is complete . All officials of greater Germany will use the German lar.suaci: interpreters may be permitted in cases of necessity, but at the cost of the person requiring them, and this cost will be proportionate to tbe importance of the case as well as to the litigant employing the interpreter. Part of the sum thus gained shall be turned over to the public treasury to be applied in German colonization. "Hooks, newspapers, periodicals, and pamphlets of any kind must be printed in German. Foreign books may b impor'.ed only aftr authorization by the state- and on payment of a tax of 1"0 percent ad valorem. Foreign newspapers must obtain the same authorization and jay the same tax. The state shall have the right to take the first j age of the principal edition of every newspaper without recompense, in order that it may present to the people governmental views in nonpartisan fashion.

Every time you promise yourself that you will or will not do certain things and fail to make gocd you have lost a very important opportunity to cultivate self-control, and after a time you will become too weak to make even the resolution. Take an inventory of yourself before it is too late. Will you deliberately lesser, your power of self-mastery, or will you brace up and stand up for the things tvhich you know are best for you, and against the things which are harmful to you? Do you realize that a wak-kneed policy on your part is having a detrimental effect on yair children? Not only will this attitude and practice of yours result in flabby mental fabric for all concerned, but it will cause the boys and girls to have less respect for you. Keep your resolution at whatever cost to yourself.
