out the month.
This was not a favorable corn
season-for other states as we'll
as ours.
We have, however, considerable
acreage that did mature and if
there are large number of exhibits
mde by North Dakota growers it
will assist in giving a desirable
impression.
An absence of exhibits is like

ADMITTING \ FAILURE

cleveland. O.. Plain DeaIerD
The failure of Great Britain's war
against the Turks is not a matter of
theory but a definitely established
tact. The fighting has. continued for
half a year and the British advance
is so small as To be negligible. The
Turks have proved themselves un-
conquerable in battle, while their
immense Notifications seem no
nearer capture than they were last
spring.
Thousands of soldiers. many Of
them from Britain's antipodean

been killed. Thousands more have
Teen manned and shattered. other
thousands are somewhere i'm Tur-
kish prisons. And for this sacri-
fee, and for the expenditure of mill
lions of dollars. the British nation
has nothing to show.
Britain is not ready to admit that
IL was mistake to attempt to force
the Dardanelles. for the stake vas
@reat. But Britain is ready to ad-
Init that the work was undertaken
rashly, and without a proper I'M
derstanding of its difficulties. More

nit failure and defeat.
Such an admission comes hard. 1t

ment TO admit inferiority: 1t is diff
Gcult for any warning nation to
abandon an enterprise confidently
undertaken. especially when its OPP
ponent is "a smaller and weaker ma

that the abandonment of the Oar

dictated by prudence and wisdom.

THE YELLOW PERIL.
dayton O., News.

dayton u. News
Several years ago the emperor Of
Germany first called attention to
what he termed 1.-The yellow peril,
meaning thereby the menace Of the
yellow people of Asia. He argued
that some day the Asiatics were
likely to overrun the world-or at
least the outlook presented a real
peril. and he appealed to the white
races to stick close together or
words TO that effect, lest the yellow
people Of the east overwhelm them.
Little has been heard of the vel
low peril of late years; certainly
nothing has been heard Of il for a
year or more, for the war among the
white people has overshadowed ev-
erything else. But the students who
are big enough to study the world
events in the smoke of battle are
now beginning TO take note of the
trend Of affairs. And again the
yellow peril looms large in the
words Of these students.

war on the population of Europe is

the prospect is appalling. Europe
cannot regrOup herself by immigra-
ton. as the United States did after
the Civil war, and the outlook opens
upon the growing ascendency Of the
Asiatic people" If thEe were a

what extent has it developed, or is
