GERMAN NEWSPAPERS FAVORABLY
COMMENT ON PRESIDENTS REPLY

reply is most friendly, and is to the
effect that any other answer could not
be expected.
The Tageszeitung in this connection
says:
1--WE have a clear conscience from the
viewpoint Of justice and humanity in
this war, and can look the world un-
fearingly. in the face. We, however,
do not need to regard the public opin-
ion of the world. In the last instance
the German people, united with the
emperor, are alone competent to de-
eide the correctness of Germany's
course"
Crop reports for October show that
potatoes, Sugar, beets, clover and al
falfa are niddling to good. Autumn
planting is making good progress de-
spite the earlier drought.

has some hope, however. he intimated,
that the strength of the beet sugar

some measure of protection to the

Replying to a question, Mr. Ivers
said that he looked for low prices

the effect of the tariff, owing to the

A larger consumption of the commod-
ity may result from the cheaper prices.
Mr.. Ivers expressed the opinion that
the sugar men do not wish to appeal
to the courts in regard to their taxes

he held, is that such a fight would
compel attention to the extreme seri-
