lower RENTS
Are Being Charged in London
Now as a Result of the
War in Europe.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Rentals OF bust
ness properties in London have de-
creased during the last year. Even
in cases where property is being rent
ed under long-term leases, the land
lords have frequently recognized the
position in which the war may have
placed their tenants by giving apprec-
is,ble rebates on the contract figures.
In the stock exchange district forty
per cent has been knocked off the pre-
war rental in many cases rather than
lose q desirable tenant.
I Office and Bodybuilding property is
naturally very difficult to rent at the
present time. Many professional and
business men whose leases have ex-
PRED during the last twelve months
have taken advantage OF this to secure
new quarters at far lower rentals or
else retain their old quarters on more
or less nominal terms.
Real estate men state that the big
reductions in rental values have proved
serious matter to many landlords
and property holding companies whose
income Is dependent upon the renting
OF hlgh-priced. Offices. The higher
range of interest values at the present
time, which moreover is practically
certain to last for many years after
the war, also tends to lower the re-
turn on rented property OF all kinds.
as there is no Likelihood Of renewal
Of mortgages at the old rate Of four
or four ard a half per cent.

Government from Going to

THE HAGUE, Nov. The Dutch
government has prohibited any further
exodus OF metal workers to England.
Early in the war. large numbers Of
Dutch workmen in metals went to Ger
many. attracted by. the high wages
offered in the. munitions, factories.
More recently, similar exodus on an
even wider scale, has begun toward
England. The Dutch government,
fearing an actual famine in skilled
help for an Important trade, has now
promulgated a strict prohibition
against workmen Of this class leaving
the country.
The Socialist newspaper Het volk
criticises the new regulation in a
striking editorial entitled els Holland

trast between the governments ap-
proval Of the enormous war profits
being reaped by the trading classes,
and its efforts to prevent artisans
from improving their condition. Tho
article declares that a number Of
Dutch workmen who were already on
board steamer when the new prohibit
ton was announced. were removed
from the vessel by military force.

Z NEW YORK, Nov. Little old Man
haitian is fat-footed, wears poor shoes
and stands up at its work, according to
figures compiled by Captain Frank d.
Evans Of the local recruiting office OF
the United States Marine CORPS.
I Captain Evans is authority for the
statement that approximately eighteen
per cent Of all applicants who applied
for enlistment in the marine corps at
Its Twenty-third street office during
the year, were rejected for "pes plan
us" or fat-foot. He puts the blame
on the cheaply constructed. poorly
made shoes the average toiler wears
lat his work for the epidemic OF falling
arch, and on the fact that the majority
|of victims claimed they were forced
to stand on their feet fol; long stretches
while at their employment.
Motormen, conductors. policemen,
subway guards. machinists, waters
land clerks are the principal sufferers
from .pes planus,' Captain Evans says.

ANOTHER FOOL STUNT.

Henry Ford's business acumen has
made Of him national figure, has
given him name to be envied in COM
nercial circles in this country.
And just as he Is reaching the zen
it'll of his career fool stunt is likely
to transform him into an object Of
ridicule throughout the world,
Mr.. Ford's much advertised peace
party mission to Europe is with the
avowed intention of sending wireless
messages to the soldiers in the trench
es, demanding that they lay down
their arms and go home on a strike
against their officers--in other words,
to desert the flags they follow.
If it were not that such demand
would likely involve this country in
trouble with some foreign government
the whole proceeding would be so
ridiculous as to be funny.
The mission" was foredoomed to
be farce and a fizzle from the begin
ming, and for the sanest and simplest
reasons in the world.
It would be impossible for Ford or
any other man to send a wireless
message to the troops in the trenches,
for the simple reason that there are
no wireless stations in THE trenches
to receive such a message.
No commander of troops would per-
init such a message to reach his men
if dozen stations were available.
The men who are fighting the
causes Of their respective countries
are not the traitors or fools Mr.. Ford
takes them to be. They believe in the
cause for which they are contending
and the wild vaporings of bunch OF
notriety seeking Americans will elicit
from them nothing but the utmost
contempt.
Mr.. Ford may be big frog in De-
troit, but he will find from sad ex.
perience that he is a mighty little
tadpole in the European puddle.
The wisest thing he can do is &c
go back to Detroit, and stay there
and forget himself.
The sycophantic small fry who are
trailing along in the shadow of hi;
millions do not count at all.

TOO MUCH MIDDLE MAN

The curse of the American farmer is
the rapidly increasing, expanding and
perpetuating middleman.
No matter what the farmer raises
or produces, or what price the ultimate
consumer pays, the middleman and his
cohorts and satellites get the bulk OF
it.
When apples were rotting on the
ground in many sections of the count
nv last summer because the growers
could not get price sufficient to pay
for marketing them the people of The
cities were paying a nickel for three
little runts. II fair sized they were
two for a nickel, and in many cases
five cents each.
Why can't the farmers Of this
county band together in some kind OF
an organization and do their own mar
ketting without the assistance OF
these grasping and devouring mid
dlemen? Surely some method could
be devised whereby their crops could
be marketed jointly and in bulk and
thus save the tremendous shrinkage
that now goes into the pockets of
horde of useless go-betweens.
Orange growers in Florida have
such an organization and are getting
better prices for their fruit and will
less trouble.
In Chicago there are number Of
men who have purchased fruit anC
truck land in Alabama. They hav'
formed an organization for mutua
advantage and protection and one mai
disposes Of all Of their products di
rect to the retailers, realizing goo
prices on every commodity.
There are enough farmers in thei
county to form a large and powerful
organization. Agents could be ap
pointed in the large cities and ship
ments could be made direct. The ser
vices of numerous middlemen woul
be dispensed with and the increase
profits would go into the pockets o
the farmers.
The coming year promises to be on
of great prosperity to the America
people.
Why give the bulk of the farmer
profits to a bunch Of blood suckin
leeches in the guise Of middlemen?

Contrary to Christian Principles.

Contrary to Christian Principles.
The present European War is a de
monstration OF the failure of men to
appropriate the teaching of Christ
not a failure OF Christianity. 1t is
said that Christ gave no teaching for
nations, but He did give teaching for
individuals in their relations with
each other. These can be applied to
small groups of men, and what ap
plies to small groups, will apply to
larger; that is to nations. The Chris
tian ideal is a world at peace, with
out armies or navies, and if the United
States departs from it's old policy o.
an army no greater than is necessary
for police purposes, it is removing b:
just so much the day of universe
peace. When Israel trusted in GOD
three hundred Israelites could put al.
the hosts of indian to flight; but whe7
they trusted in armies and their own
strength they lost. I believe the pol
icy of preparedness" is contrary to
Christian principles and will eventual
IL involve us in the same condition
that Europe is now in.
