OF the three great elements mentioned
above that In two short years have
revolutionized French Industrial life, the
greatest perhaps Is Industrial efficiency
and maximum productiveness. Previous
TO the war. industrial efficiency was al
most unknown outside the United States
and Germany. But today France Is in
dustrially efficient. It was the neces-
sity Of saving the nation by incredible
increases In the production Of NUM-
tons and military supplies that taught
France the lesson.
Frances output Of powder today Is

THE HAY FEVER SEASON

The hay fever season is beginning;
the open season for one Of the big
gest populations of pathetic unfor-
Inmates that the country embraces.
Hay fever, of course, will continue
to be a joke and derision. 1t
started that way long ago, and will
SO remain till the end of time. Yet
it would be almost as sensible to
make a joke of the infantile
paralysis epidemic in New York,
The fact that people don't die of hay
fever is just about as significant as
the twin fact that they also don't
die of seasickness. The world is full
of people who can get seasick and
yet who never suffered from hay

POSSIBILITIES OF COMMERCIAL
REVELATIONS

If the British blacklisting Of
American firms, plus the develop
ments from the Paris economic con-
ferences, should bring about any
thing like q contest in industrial and
commercial reprisals, it might easily
become a most serious affair for
both countries, indeed for the world.
Britain at present controls the
largest share of the worlds ship
ping; but that is a condition that
can be remedied. She dominates the
production and marketing Of raw
rubber, Of which the United States
Is the largest consumer. Her nickel
mines, in Canada, turn out most of
this metal, so vitality necessary in
making steel. of which the United
States makes almost half the worlds
supply. The bulk Of the worlds gold
comes from British territory, but
there is little danger of any British
effort to handle it to the disadvan-
tage Of the United States. Gold
would cease to be an instrument Of
commercial authority II its liquidity,
it's freedom to move, were interfered
with.
A long list might be given, Of the
articles in which Britain is supreme.
But on the other hand any effort to
utilize this power to our disadvan-
tage would compel this country tc
reprisals through its near-monopoly
Of cotton, Of copper, Of a great num-
Der Of articles without which British
industry would be hopelessly handi-
capped.
The truth is that the British en-
pire, plus America, could dominate
the industry and commerce of the
world; and on the other side, that
these two supremely wealthy en-
pires, arrayed on opposite sides Of
any commercial struggle, would COM
pei the rest of the world to line up
one way or the other. in contest
that would be altogether bad for
both sides. After the war, in that
sort Of a competition, the United
States would be inevitably pitched
into an industrial entente with Ger
many, which would be glad to take
the copper and cotton and other ar
ticles that Britain would need, and to
furnish us as much as possible Of the
shipping we should require. It would
be, In short, a thoroughly unde-
sirable condition for both this coun.
try and Great Britain, but the United
States would have the better Of the
argument.
The sober fact Is that no such
warfare is going to be inaugurated
Britain, better than any other ma
ton on earth, realizes the importance
of the freest commercial relations
because Britain's whole business
fabric is built on the theory Of
utilizing such liberality to the ut.
most. There Is no serious danger
If this country is disaffected for the
moment because of British restric.
tions on our commerce, it is well tc
keep in mind that during the civil
war England suffered, very seriously
and with very bad grace, because
she was unable to get cotton. There
was an hundred times more griev'
ance in England at that time against
the North, than there is in thi!
country against England. There wa!

With cheers for Woodrow Wilson
ringing again and again in his ears,
heckled by listeners and halted often

Il believe there is no grievance
with respect to labor that cannot be
settled by a fair.handed explanation OF
the facts" said Mr.. Hughes.
"We have had in the past to deal
frequently with the opposition of EN-.
ployers to the principle of arbitration.
Sometimes they have refused to arbi
trate disputes. Public opinion has
been against them. | stand here firm
ly for the principle of arbitrating in.

render it to anybody in the country.

What is our Republican government?
What are our free institutions? We
have come down the long course of
history with the people fighting, slow
ly, slowly-now with defeat and now
with victory-for a recognition of the
right of reason instead of the reign
of tyranny and force.
"Now. then, l stand for two things:
First, for the principle of fair, inn

and,
Second, for legislation of facts, ac-
cording to the necessities OF the case.
And I am opposed to be dictated to,

fore the facts are known. We have

WILL Be SHORTAGE
OF SEED WHEAT

1t is evident that there will be a
serious shortage of seed wheat suit
able for raising the general crop for
1917. There are portions of the state
in which the grain is puite uniformly
too light to be relied upon to give a
sturdy growth. The danger Of SOW
ing such light weight seed is large,
as any extraordinary weather condl-
tions might result in much crop fail
ure.
The North Dakota pure seed law
authorizes the state seed commission
er to list all persons who possess
seed suitable for sowing purposes.
The seed laboratory has very limit
ed funds, but we can do very large
amount of work if it is distributed
over the year. Names are placed
on the list as soon as we can test
or inspect the samples Of sed to he
offered for sale. Those who have
grain that they wish tested should
send to the Pure Seed Laboratory
about a half pound sample, that we
may examine it as to its purity and
viability. The owner will receive a
correct report as to its seed value.
with such recommendations as We are
able to make.
Send in your samples at the earli-
est opportunity.
Present conditions are urgent.
Those who have good seed, particu'
larly in western and northwestern
portions of the state, will not only
be of aid to themselves, but will be
of benefit to the public if they will
make use of the laboratory in the
way indicated. The information that
should come with the sample can be
made out as follows: Name of own
er, railroad station, kind of grain,
variety, bushels, cleaning machinery
available, storage and how long grain
will be held.
Those who wish to buy seed grain
should send in the following :nforma-
ton: Name, address, railroad sta
ton. kind an dvariety of seed grain
wished, bushels and time when seed
will be purchased.

broad understanding and sympathy

today by both American and Mexican
members of the joint commission that
will meet at New London on Wed.

es were delivered by Secretary Lans.
ing and Franklin w. Lane, secretary
of the interior, who heads the com.
mission, while Luis Cabrera, chair.
man of the Mexican commission, and
Elisio Arredondo, Mexican ambassa'
dor designate, spoke in reply. Rights
of Americans in Mexico, both person.
al and economic, were the only fea'
lures mentioned by Mr.. Lane.
1T is through the consideration Of
such subjects that the seed of future
controversies can be destroyed" Sec.
retary Lansing said. And entire
confidence restored, so that the Mex.
ican people and government may
build on the ruins of war and disor.
der a new and more lasting prosper.

Our people have gone among You
in confidence" said Secretary Lane.
Their lives and fortunes are sacred
to you and wrong done to them would
react against you even though the
United States never raised its hand
nor sent man across your border" Z"
Speaking in response, Mr.. Cabrera
declared himself and associates to be
inspired by the strongest purpose
to cooperate with the American COM
missioners in order to attain their
common end, that Is. to lay, the foun.
dation of lasting peace between tho
United States and Mexico"
1--WE have neither the experience
nor the learning Of the American
commissioners" he continued, but
the consciousness Of the great re.
sponsibility which the conference
have, not only for the present, but
for the future Of our country, will
give the Mexican commissioners tho
energy sought for the welfare Of the
country" :,
lMr. cabrera drew q parallel OF tne
conditions existing as between the
United States and Mexico.
"Even the enemies Of peace be-
tween these two countries are tho
same in both," he continued. 1T
seems, therefore, that the confer
ences will have more the character
Of cooperation than a discussion of
conflicting tendencies.'
The commissioners, both American
and Mexican. will sail for New Lon.
don tomorrow on the presidential
yacht, Mayflower. Included in the
party will be: Henry P. Fletcher, tho
ambassador to Mexico, and John +.
