Figures Just Made Public by Food Administrator
 Regarding

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The wal demands upon the resources ol France were strikingly illustrated today in figures of foodstuffs pre- pared by military general for sup plying France, and made public by the federal food administrator.
 The production of food, including cereals, potatoes and beet roots, had decreased from 350000,000 hun dredweight in 1913 to 220,0O0,000 hundredweight in 1917.
 It is estimated that the require ments for France this year could be held to 40,000,000 hundredweight of cereals. but the task of providing this quantity promises to become most difficult.

UNREST NOTED BY A GERMAN
 AMONG PEOPLE

BERNIE, Nov. 10-Significant as to the spirit that prevails in some circles in Germany is the latest is sue of the Koelnische Vodkszeitung, always a supporter of the claim of the German people are behind the annexationists and want no peace but one bought with the sword It says:
 Tt one rides on German rail roads, if one goes to the cafes and public places of the big cities where one meets our soldiers coming from or going to the field, one can hear again again words and sentences from the socialstic press that ac- tually are a great danger for the determination to hold out, for the unity and unanimity in the army and behind the front, for the desire to be victorious and to see it through.
 ''In all these phrases of the so- cial democratic press there recurs over and over again the one that the war is being conducted only for the big fellows, that those who wish for our fatherland an hon. orable peace that shall assure fu ture development are paid by the big industrials' or are serving cap italistic interests that the annex ationists' alone are responsible for the third year of war and possibly the coming war winter. All the islanders circulated to superfuity about war makers and annexation ists arc bobbing up again"

SULZER SHOWS HIM UP

KETCH1KAN, Nov 10.-The Ket. ohikan Miner, Republican in politics, contained an editorial last night se- verely arraigning former Delegate James Wickershsm, and it apologiz- ed for ever having supported him for office The editorial carried the heading, "A Lying Ass" and was as follows:
 That James Wickersham, former Delegate from Alaska, to every oody's sorrow, is a contempitble, ly- ,ng ass, Delegate Sulzer proved in his address Wednesday evening Through the pages of the record containing the ass testimony given before officials in Seattle, Wicker sham was shown to have resorted to tricks and lies in an attempt to gain his point which is to defeat Sulzer He even went so far as to charge that eleven newspapers in Alaska, including yours truly, thank you had sold out to the liquor interests for the purpose of defeating him.
 What an ass he must be?
 Always Favored Saloons
 Let us see From the early days n Alaska, Wickersham has been known to favor saloons. He is known 70 have gone so far as to advise m applicant for a license, who was being opposed bitterly by the resi- Tents of the town, to come in his ,ffice by the back door that his op )onents might not see him, or some hing to that effect He got his Ii cense Look back and see how many saloon keepers in Alaska opposed Wickersham in any one of the cam oaigns. With the exception of ono )r two. practically none in the last campaign, saloon keepers feared Sul ger and combined to support Wick ersham The liquor interests, re ierred to by Wickersham, that sup oiled the fund with which he claims 0 have been fought and opposed was not without knowing all this From that is it reasonable that tht liquor interests would have bough newspaper support to fight the mar who favored liquor? Only assess would make such contentious.
 "The liquor interests bought space the newspapers just like the busi less men buy space to advertise heir wares. The Progressive Mine1 sold some space, and received tht same price that the Prohibitionisti paid for their space they bought ant no more, which was five cents { line
 Proud of SuIzer
 Tt was the Progressive Miner tha started the movement that resulted n the nomination of Sulzer for Dele gate, and we are just as proud O hat act as we are ashamed of hay ng ever voted for Wickersham a previous elections. which is sayinf whole lot The reason we sup ported Sulzer was that we recogniz sd in him an honest and true Alas 1an, and not a defamer of charactel ike Wickersham, the man who i. too contemptible to merit the re ipect of true Alaskans.
 From that what else can yo, make out of Wickersham but a ly ng ass?"

REDUCING TAXES AND
IMPROVING SERVICE

The report of the meetings of the
board of commissioners and their
meetings as board of equalization
for June and July and also the an
nual finance report of the county
clerk, reached The Republican office
on the nineteenth of July and publ
cation is commenced in this issue.
1t was a big job for the force in
the county clerks office to prepare
the reports in addition to keeping up
the regular work, hence the delays in
its delivery to us. 1t will be publish
ed as fast as it can be gotten into
type forms. a a a}a,# 5a }a
For the information of our new
subscribers we repeat what has been
said before, that for several years
The Idaho Republican has been ad-
vocating making simpler and palmer
reports of the county business than
had been done before. and number
of the changes we advocated have
been adopted.
One change we advocated was cut
ting out what is termed illegal f1c-
ton" lot of verbiage that useless
in news report and makes reports
harder to read and more expensive
for the county to publish. Such min
utes have been simplified and short
ened as much as 81 per cent by the
editor Of The Republican, thus saw
ing much time for the readers in
finding what they want, and reduc-
ing the publishers bill 81 per cent.
The minutes now in process of pub
lication were shortened 20 per cent.
Another change brought about as
a result Of our "Tax articles Of
1914-15 is the segregation Of the as
signed accounts sold to the banks and
dealers and formerly listed in bulk
so that no reader could tell what the
transactions were. In this way many
doubtful transactions slipped thru
without the public knowing what the
money was spent for. The Republi-
can segregated them and published
them at its own expense for a long
time till the advantages of it were
thoroly proven, and the practice has
the approval of the present admins
tration. ,.
