Should the Strategic Opening Come

The United States may yet find a way Of
serving humanity by acting as the peacemaker
for Europe. We are the only power in position
TO exercise such an office and our position is
we'll intrenched. Regardless OF the tradition
not to mix in the affairs Of European beliger-
ents, President Wilson is carefully watching for
an opportunity to use the means at his com
mand for ending the awful war.
As against this tradition established by
Washington. we have as President Wilson reads
The Hague treaty. not only a right. but moral
obligation, under that compact to exert our in
fluence for peace. One clause in that treaty
provides:
Powers strangers to the dispute have the right
to offer good offices or mediation during the
Of hostilities
And again:
The contracting pow ers deem It expedent and de-
sirable that one or more powers strangers TO the
dispute should on their own initiative and as far
as circumstances may allow offer their good offices
or mediation 10 the states az variance
This seems to set at naught any cavil as TO
our rights or duties. Back OF this our country
has the additional tremendous prestige OF the
avowed and manifest friendship Of the various
powers involved in the present struggle. Great
Britain Germany, France and even Russia, with
whom our diplomatic and commercial relations
have been somewhat strained. have asked the
United States to look after their interests in the
different countries This adds an evidence OF
substantial confidence and esteem for our gov
eminent. Advices from Washington are to the
effect that all the nations OF Europe will exert
every effort to avoid complicating relations
with us.
Should the strategic opportunity come as in
all human probability it will, and our govern
ment successfully embraces 1t. II would not only
be supreme triumph for as the great mon
.itor OF world peace, but permanent triumph
also for the cause OF universal brotherhood.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-To the Editor of
The Bee: The withdrawal OF German
merchant vessels on account OF the war
and the possibility OF similar action In
regard to British liners is sufficiently
serious to demand immediate action to
keep all ocean trade routes open for the
benefit OF American manufacturers. This,
despite the fact that the present situation
Is greatly exaggerated in the minds of
many, For many are apt to overlook that
under any conceivable contingency there
still remains on the north Atlantic the

line. The United Fruit line, the American

lines. the Merchants line. the Barber line.

The Panama canal opens on August

Several lines running there are now owned
in the Unit~d states. others operate
Norwegian ships under charter. On the
Pacific coast two lines to the Far East
fly the American flag. others the Jap

American owned.

they are engaged In foreign trade and

Women DO Not Register 20 Vote.
SOUTH OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 2-To the
Editor of The Bee: Recently received a
copy OF a paper printed in q good sized
city OF Kansas, In which the statement
was made that after the most persistent
efforts had been made very few women
registered 20 vote and that the friends OF
suffrage were greatly disheartened by
the lack OF interest on the part of the
women voters.
II Ia the same thing wherever suffrage
exists. The women do not want to vote
and II the few agitators for suffrage
were suppressed the movement for woman
suffrage would die OF itself.
The agitators for woman suffrage are
like frogs in the puddle--more noisy than
numerous. They are also like the popu-
lists Of thirty and thlrty-five years ago.
From the noise the populists made q per-

ALLEGED HOG CHOLERA CURE
Government Has Not Approved Any
Treatment Except the Protective
Serum.

Washington, d. c., June 1.-Evi-
dence of what appears to be a well or
gained campaign to delude farmers
throughout the country into buying an
alleged cure for hog cholera, under the
impression that this has been investi-
gated and approved by the United
States Government, has reached the
Department of Agriculture. Articles
name, are being sent out widespread to
newspapers. These articles are 50
worded that it appears as if the De
partment Of Agriculture had received
reports from the state of Minnesota
showing that the medicine had proved
most beneficial. AS IA matter Of fact
the Il report received by the Depart
ment was an unofficial and unsolicited
statement sent presumably from the
promoters themselves. The Depart
ment attaches no Importance whatso-
even to this statement. 1t has no rea-
son to believe in the efficiency of any
proprietary cure for hog cholera and
does not recommend any. Under GER
tain conditions it urges farmers to pro-
tect their stock with anti hog cholera
serum but that is all.
In connection with this attempt it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as a
means Of killing tuberculosis, typhoid,
and cancer germs, according to an
article published in the journal of the
American Medical Association. At
that time it was asserted that the Army
was interested in it. AS a matter of
fact the Army was no more interested
then than the Department Of Agricul-
turr is now.
In view of the evidence the attempt

Wisconsin Horses Meet Market
Needs.

There is a strong demand for Wis
consin bred horses of size and quality
that can stand the constant strain of
heavy hauling over city pavements."
This is the way James G. Fuller, Sc
cretary of the Wisconsin Horse Breed
ers' association, sized up the situation
the other day when asked about the
future of horse raising in the state.
Many farmers he added, are help
ing to supply this demand by raising
horses which meet the market re-
quirements and for which the buyers
are willing to pay the best prices.
For the purpose of encouraging the
young men Of the state to raise more
and better horses, we have been breed
ing up studs of Clydesdales and Per-
cherons at the experiment station farm
in Madison. Starting in Il very small
way, we have gradually built up re-
preventative studs of each breed. Re
