FARMERS MUST EXPECT
LESS PRICE FOR PRODUCE
Speakers at Public Library Agree
They Should Charge, by Parcel
Post, Less Than City Dealers.

That the farmer must be educated to
the fact that he cannot expect city peo-
pie to pay prices as high as that of
the retail merchant when they are
making parcel post purchases from
him, was the opinion voiced by several
persons at a meeting at the Public
Library today under the auspices Of the
home economics committee OF the Fed
Grafton OF Womens Clubs. Postmaster
Otto Praeger. who had addressed the
meeting on the advantages of the par
Gel post, said that both the post office
and the Department of Agriculture are
now working to educate the farmer
along this line.
DR.. George F. Bowerman. librs MAN, de-
clared in the discussion which followed
the postmaster's address that 1.-The farmer
must appeal to the man with the limited
income. The man with the limited in
come must be compensa ted for his trouble
in writing to the farmer by getting a re-
duced price"
Several Of the women declared the
farmers had not given prices lower than
those which could be found at the mar
kets The sense Of the meeting seemed
to be, however, that after that branch
of the post office had been longer in op-
Grafton the various difficulties which
might arise at present would be over
come.

of the city post Office, described the vari-

are passing through Italian ports on
their way to Germany.
In New York large purchases of cop

Since October rs vessels bound from
New York for Italy, having on board a
total of 1900 tons of copper, have been
diverted to Gibraltar. and the British
government is informed that some
thousands of tons additional are now
en- route to Italy. The larger part Of
these copper shipments were for
Genoa Official returns just published
show that for two and one half months
prior to October 10 imports of copper
into Genoa amounted to only 1875 tons.
A comparison of these figures with the
more recent shipments shows. 1t IS
said, that the present trade In copper
with Italy is entirely an artificial one
and tina, the Italian imports are not
for the consumption of that country.

ENGLISHMEN IN GERMANY
SEMITIC DETENTION CAMP
All Between Ages of Seventeen and
Forty-Five Years Ordered to
Report to Police.

BERLIN, via London, November T.
The police at 6 o'clock Friday morn
ing notified all Englishmen between
the ages of seventeen and forty-five
years to report to police stations for
transport to Ruhleben, detention
camp. near Berlin. They were advised
to bring two blankets, sheets, etc. The
exodus is now proceeding.
Ruhleben has hitherto been chiefly
used as a camp for Russians. but about
100 Englishmen, subjects of suspicion
or without domicile, were earlier in
termed there.
The order of arrest, which excerpts
colonials so long as the colonies do
not interfere with Germany, states
that the government from the outset
took the stand that civilians ought to
be left at liberty and permitted to re-
turn home. 1t says it is adopting the
present measurements reluctantly in
answer to the actions of the British.
All Britishers who are left free will
be required to register twice daily at
the nearest police station. and will not
be permitted to leave that immediate
police supervision.
German concentration camps and hos
pitfalls are said to hold the following
prisoners:
French, 3,13S officers and 1SS,61S men

GERMANY SEEKS SAFETY
OF THE JEWS IN TURKEY

NEW YORK, November THE
safety of Jews in Turkey has twice
been the subject of representations
made to the porte by Germany. accord
ing to statement given out here by
Count Won Bernstorff. German ambas-
sador to the United States The state
ment said:
Some time ago the German imperial
government warmly recommended to
Turkey the protection of Jews of
whatever nationality. Recently. prior
to the outbreak of the war, this recon-
mendation was renewed.
ut had been feared that the numer-
Gus Jews in Turkey would. in case of
war. be endangered not only on ac-
count of their religion. but also for
their non-Turkish nationality. Many
Jews who have resided in Turkey for
years are not, up to this day. Ottoman
citizens.
ut is, therefore. reassuring to learn
that Germany has warmly recommend
ed to Turkey the protection of all
Jews, irrespective of nationality"

The American steamer kroonland

Acting Secretary Lansing of the

the copper aboard the Kroonland was
destined for use by the krupps. 1t is

I'VE realize that when a patient is

risk" said DR.. White, but there is at

The New Americans.

FROM HarperS Magazine
When We compare the America of to-
day with the America Of half a century
ago certain differences stand out sharply.
America today Is far richer. 1t Is also
more stratified Our social gamut has
been widened. There are more vivid con-
trasts more startling differences, in edu-
cation and in the general chances Of life.
We are less rural and more urban. losing
the virtues and the vices, the eAceliences
and the stupidities of country lie and
gaining those of the city. We are mass
ing in our cities armies OF the poor to
take the place OF country ne'er-do-weils
and village hangers-on. We are more So
phisticated. We are more lax and less
narrow We have lost our earlier frugal
simplicity, and have become extravaganza
and comparatively lavish We have, in
short, created new type OF American.
who lives in the city. reads newspapers
and even books, bathes frequently. trav-
els occasionally; a man, fluent tntellectu-
ally and physically restless. ready but not
profound. intent upon success, not with
out idealism. but somewhat disfliustoned,
pleasure-loving, Woodworking, humorous.
At the same time there grows q sense OF
a social reimbursement. a sense of a fall
ure of America to live up to expectations.
and an intensifying desire to right not
clearly perceived wrong. There develops
a vigorous If somewhat vague and un-
trained moral impulse-an impulse based
on social rather than individual ethics,
unesthetic, democratic. headlong.
Although this development might have
come about, in part at least. without Inn
migration. the process has been enor-
nously accelerated by the arrival on our
shores of millions of Europeans. These
men came to make living. and they
made not only their own but other
mems fortunes. They FASTENED the disso-
'ution of old conditions: they undermined
I'D standards by introducing new; their
very traditions facilitate the growth OF
that traditionless quality Of the Ameri-
.an mind which FASTENED our material
transformation.

Actual Difference in Time Between
New York and Paris Established.

Actual difference in time between
Washington and Paris has been es-
tablished through recent exchanges
Of wireless telegraph signals, between
the wireless stations at Arlington and
the French government station on

The result of the tests is hailed by
scientists as distinct step forward
toward errorless calculation of time
and distances. 1t is approximately 1000
miles from Washington to Paris and
the greatest distance over which pre-
vious tests of Il like nature had been
made was 600 miles.
