REveRSION 10 TYPE.

Efficiency that goes so far as to class
women with the beasts or the field
and place the propagation of the hu-
man species on a plane with an in
crease in live stock is efficiency most
disgusting and brutal to the American
mind That, however, is what the lat
est move Of the German war lords
amounts to. Briefly. bureau is or
ganized entitled "A committee for the
remarriage of war widows" of whom
there are million or more in Ger
many, which committee announces that
all the widows must be married at
once, preferably to wounded or other
wise disabled men. The committee
will list the widows and find the hus-
bands. The reason for immediate
remarriage. as given bluntly by the
committee is that Germany must raise
an army for future defense, and the
women are expected to produce the
cannon fodder demanded by the war
lords
One of the war lords not long ago
declared there was nothing particularly
new in modern warfare but mainly a
readaptton of ancient war cruelties to
modern needs. Prussianism is now
taking a page from Spartan annals
familiar to all readers Of the history
OF that age. And an order to halt
mourning for husbands and weeping
for sons. that the slaughterhouse Of war
shall not lack victims, will strike the
American mind as a further reversion
70 semisavagery. We can not under
stand the principle and methods of pro-
ducing live stock for the abbatoirs

NIGH PRICES SPEND THEIR FORCE.

There is a growing belief in all In
dustr.al and financial circles that the
worst is passed as to high prices in
almost every line. The new crop yield
PROMISES to be enormous and IT IS
bound to ease the pressure upon food
supplies. New building has reached

the planning mills are running light on

down so as not to congest the markets
with lumber.

Primary leather markets report a

The steel trust is catching up on its

All in all it is high time for mer-
