EUROPEAN NATIONS
SHOULD GO BANKRUPT
Henry Ford Would Have Future
Generations Repudiate
Big War Debt

Detroit.-"If l were to live with the
future generations of Europe l would
urge the people to repudiate the
debts that are being piled up by their
governments in this war. | believe it
is the duty of the people to repudiate
them. What right have the govern
ments of Europe to impose on future
generations the unbearable burden
they are amassing through this WARP"
Henry Ford is quoted as saying
Mr.. Ford prophesies the building of
q new type OF submarine which he
terms a fish boat to wipe the ma
vies Of the world of the seas, max
ing wars impossible in the future.
'The best thing that could happen
would be for the nations of Europe
to go bankrupt. Then they would be
compelled to stop fighting" said Mr..
Ford. ut looks as though they were
getting dangerously near bankruptcy
when they offer to give their Amer
lean obligations priority over every
other form of national indebtedness
to raise the war loan in the United
States. 1t also savors of reputation,
declared Mr.. Ford.

Tobacco and Poison-Gas.

Writing to a friend, corporal of

What hurt us most was the gas

green and yellow, and it just chokes

Tobacco saved many a boys life in
that battle. We began to feel pretty
'choky at the guns, and wondered if
tobacco would hell us. We thought
we would try it, and put a big chew
In our mouths, and it made us spit

PLAN TO FIGHT
FOR CARCOES
Government May Protest If the
Packers Make the Request
Sis, 0O0,0O0OF MEATATSTAKE
Relations With Great Britain Not
Strained but Sharp Protest Is
Expected to Go Forward from
the State Department.

London. - All American packers,
whose products, valued at many mil
lions of dollars were declared by the
crown, gave notice of appeal from
the decision. 1t is expected that the
final legal steps will be expedited
and the final judgment handed down.
in a short time.
The British press expresses conf
dence that the decision OF the prize
court will be upheld in the final judg-
ment and that the findings of Sir
Samuel 7. Evans, president of the
court, will be completely endorsed.
The Times asserts that the deci-
sion was necessary, as a contrary
judgment would practically have null
lifted the order in council declaring a.
blockade of Germany.
1t also says the court was infuen-
ced by the decisions of the Ameri-
can courts during the civil war in
reference to British cargoes siezed as
contraband
THE result, if adverse to American
shippers, may be said to be a compli-
ment to American isprudence," the
paper concludes.
Other immense cargoes are held by
the British government. 1t is sup
posed the decision as to these will
be upheld pending the appeal expect
ed in the present case.
Observation-Disclosures displeasure
ever the decision pervaded American
circles. Whether a sharp protest
will be made by the state department
depends upon the injured American
shippers.
American meats to the amount Of
$15,000,000 are involved.
Officials admit that the decision is
of diplomatic import as affecting pub
lie sentiment in the negotiations for
notifications of the order in council.
While diplomatic action depends up
on the technical legal course adopted
by the packers, the administration is
holding itself ready 10 make vigorous
representations at the proper time.
Big Loan Will Have Heavy Backing.
New York.-The proposed man.
moth credit loan to Great Britain and
France is to be underwritten by a.
large syndicate of American finan-
ciers and bankers, who are to receive
commission for their services. The
securities offered will be British and
French per cent government bonds,
and the price to the investor is to be
par. The amount of the loan is as yet
undetermined, but will be between
$600,00O,O0O and $SOO,OOO,O 900. Whether
munitions of war will be included
within the scope of the proposed
credit, has not as yet been deter
mined

Washington Issues Corn Bulletin.

Misunderstanding to the gener-
ally backward state of this years
corn crop. especially in the northern,
but important growing sections of the
belt, there is great danger of injury
to the crop by killing frosts, which
may be expected at any time. 1t
is therefore important that every eff
fort possible be made to secure good
seed for next years crop. Where last
years corn is left over it should be
carefully examined and the best ears
saved for seed Moreover, as corn
natures alevenly, it is possible to Sc
cure seed from early ears even before
the remainder of the crop is matured.
