OUR OWN FAULT
buffalo News.)

| James J. Hill says it is an economic
blunder of the first magnitude, almost
touching disgrace, when a rich coun-
try must bring food supplies from
abroad while all around it lie re-
sources far greater than its own needs.
He says that if we advertise the coun-
try as generously as the cities, the
cities will be the greatest gamers.
Farm journals generally agree with
the sentiments of Mr.. Hill. Perhaps
it is their nature to think that our
farm resources are not properly devel-
oped and are so far from being
brought up to the proper standing as
to be a disgrace.
But the real disgrace referred to IS.
of course, the fact that America does
not look to its own resources for food,
although it is exporting still about
billion dollars worth every year. The
situation is trying one to those who
have the interests of the country at
heart and who believe that every eff
fort should be made in the first place
to feed our own people, and after that
sell at profit whatever is available
for export.
The sWiftness with which the change
has come over us from being a heavily
exporting nation of farm products to
one wherein we actually look abroad
for much of our food is hard to under
stand or to follow closely. But the
Hill remedy is probably the best one,
and that is, the development of agri-
culture by encouraging it in every
reasonable way until the farmer is
able at last to feed the rest of the
people.

AMERICANS SAFE

Within the zone of the war in Eu-
rope more than 100000 Americans
were caught when the unexpected
crisis came Yet not one of these has
been killed or even injured in tie
cataclysm that engulfed a continent.
1t must be greatly reassuring to the
friends and relatives of those who
still remain to know that the peril OF
European war to these tourists has
proved so much less than had been
feared.
There have been tales of hardship
but not more than might have been
suffered by any traveller caught in \
snow blockade on our Western rail
roads. There has not been any more
suffering anywhere than there was in
the BLOODHOUND districts of Ohio in the
diaster of last year
There has been much annoyance,
and much of it probably avodable. Yet
in most cases it was not the fault of
Europe There have been plenty of
tales of food scarcity and enormous
prices. But even Americans got a
taste of war prices, and national con-
yentions have been known to boost ho-
tel rates above those reached by the
European price boosters.
Through it all there has been mani
tested splendid spirit on the part of
the European governments at war.
Even in the midst of a conflict that
means life and death, these nations
have done superhuman things for the
safety and the comfort of the strangers
within their gates. England, Ger
many, Russia, France, Austria, Bel
GUM, all have tried to make the diff
culties as light as possible for these
travellers. When one remembers the
fact that the railroads of Europe are
the most vital portion of its machinery
for military mobilization, that the
general financial commission with the
first declaration of war that shipping
was blockaded, and that thousand
precautions had to be taken as war
measures that would never be dream
ed of in times of peace, the hardships
of the European war for the tourists
were surprisingly light.
The returning tide is still heavy and
each shipload lightens the burden of
worry for those who are waiting for
word from abroad. 1t is well, there
fore, now to reassure those who watch
and wait, for it has been amply dem
onstrated that all Americans are safe
and wei cared for

Newspapers Oppose War
The Youths Compani

(From the Editor and Publisher)
lnasmuch as the great reading pub
lie has nut faint notion Of the cost
and labor necessary to the issuing CT
big daily newspaper, it is not sur
prising that most people imagine thai
such newspapers welcome so stipend
Gus and horrible an event as a Euro
rean war. The popular idea is, Of
course, that the increased circulation
due to the important news makes
newspaper publishers rapidly grow
rich. The contrary is the fact.
1t takes a lot of money to pay ca
bic tolls alone. Expenses increase out
of all proportion to return from sales
or advertising. But the people want
the, latest news and the papers must
give it-all fer a cent or two. And
only the man on the inside knows how
great is the strain upon every depart
ment of the paper; how editors, sub
editors, reporters, proofreaders, COM
pOsitors, stereotypers, artists, press
men, circulation men and all others
of the staff are driven by their respec-
tive duties in keeping up to schedule.
Days "of" are suspended and every
employee is called to the colors" il
his Office. No one knows how, when
or where events will turn so as to give
local interest in the war situation. The
remifcations of the news are such that
an international conflict touches the
vital concern Of countless millions all
over the earth.
And, as war stuff oyershadows ev-
erything else, other news is curtailed
or goes into the discard, no matter
what it may have cost. No, indeed,
apart from their natural aversion AS
peace lovers to any SORT of conflict,
newspaper men do not rejoice when
nation wars upon nation.

PANCHO VILLA


Gen. Francisco Villa, commander in
chief of the Mexican Constitutionalist
forces, was recently interviewed by a
representative of the New York Sun,
and the following vivid picture of that
much discussed man was the result:
Sitting on the edge of disordered
bed, clad in a neat uniform of alive
was the master. of northern Mexico
Francisco Villa. He sat bumped over,
with head dropping, in quite obvious
pain, the result of a recent operation.
His bloodshot eyes and tousled hair
would have led me, at first glance, to
assume that he was just recovering
from the effects of long debauch. AS
a matter of fact, however, he does not
drink. His life has hung by thread
for too many years for him to imperil
it for the sake of whiskey.
He is stockily built and of medium
height,-not over five feet ten, l should
guess,-with the chest and shoulders
of a prize fighter, and the most perfect
bullet-shaped head l have ever seen.
1t is covered with black hair, as crisp
and curly as negroes; his skin is the
color of well-smcked meerschaum 4
small black moutsache serves to mask
a mouth that is cruel even when it is
smiling.
The most attractive features of the
face are the eyes, which are large,
brilliant and extraordinarily piercing
Indeed, they are not eyes at all, but
gimlets, which seem to bore into your
very soul. After I had looked into
them, | began to understand the awe
in which his subordinaaes stand of
him.
To show the fear in which he is held,
the writer goes on to tell that, owing
to a mishap, a train was detained, on
which there was a detachment of sold
iers that was to operate against some
bandits.
After taking a few angry turns up
and down the station platform, Villa
strobe across to his chief CT transport,
and, jerking loose his heavy automatic
revolver showed the muzzle of the
weapon in that startled Offices face.
IF that train isn't out of the station
in five minutes" he snarled, I'll blow
your head off,"
but, general" eXpostulated the
trembling officer, I'm not responsible
for the delay. The engines broke
down"
THAT doesn't concern me-" said
Villa, coldly. I'm not the engineer
I'm soldier. If that train doesn't
move in five minutes, you'll be dead"
The train moved.

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the aowny seeds
are flying;
And soft the breezes blow,
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is
dying,
Among the stubbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden
places.
And glittering insects CLEAN,
Above the reedy stream,
Where busy spiders spin their fancy
laces.
At eve cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes to pur-
pie turning;
And pearly yapors lie
Along the eastern sky,
Where the broad harvest moon is
redly burning.
All, soon on field and hill
The wind shall whistle chill,
And patriarch swallows call their
iocks together,
To fly from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
The fairer blossoms of a balmier
weather.
The crickets chirp all day,
20 fairest summer, stay!"
The squirrel eye askance the chest
nuts browning;
The wild fowl fly afar
Above the foamy bar,
And hasten southwark ere the skies
are frowning;
Yet, through a sense of grief
Comes memory makes the summer
doubly pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams
A future summer CLEANS,
Passing the gayest glories of the
present. Arnold.
