Meaning of Indemnity
Lloyd George at Glas0oV, June %.

LIoyd George at Glas0o1. June %.
Then there comes the doctrine
of the status quo, no annexation
no indemnities. No German
speeches are explicit on that, but
what does indemnity meanP A
man breaks into your house
turns YOU out for three years,
murders some of the inmates
and is guilty of every infamy
that barbarism can suggest; oc-
cupies your premises for three
wears, and turns round and says
when the law is beginning to go
against him: Take your house.
| am willing to give you the status
quo. | will not even charge you
any indemnify" But you say
even a pacihst, if it were done IN
his house, would turn round and
say-"You have wronged me.
You have occupied these prem
ises for three years. You have
done me an injury. You must
pay compensation. There IS
not a law in the civilized world
that does not make it An
essential part of justice that you
should do So" And he says, in
a lofty way: My principle is no
indemnity" 1t is not a question
of being vindictive, it is not a
question of pursuing revenge.
indemnify is an essential part of
the mechanism Of civilization in
every land and cline.

Cottonseed Flour

Southern Crushers Plan to
Spread Use of Cheap Sub

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.-Louisiana
cottonseed crushers in annual conven-
ton to-day considered means Of spread
ing the use Of cottoaseed meal -four as
a substitute for wheat -four in the
making Of bread and pastry.
Miss Kate Gordon, prominent club
woman. demonstrated how the Era
Club was making victory bread with
20 per cent cottonseed -four. DR.. Oscar
Bowling, president OF the State Board
of Health, said millions Of dollars
could be saved by the utilization Of
this comparatively cheap -four. He is
using cottonseed -four biscuit, mullins
and cakes on his own table. After the
addresses the convention attended a

Protests Against Policy

Hoover Is Consulted
Food Administrator Attends
Conference on Purchasing
Programme
Hoover Is Consulted

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The govern
ment's war purchasing programme was
gone over in detail to-day by the new
war industries board. II calls for an
elimination Of excessive profits on war
materials sold 70 the American and Al
lied governments and contemplates pro-
lection for the American people against
extortionate charges.
At morning ession Herbert Hoover,
who will sit on the boards purchasing
committee to handle the buying Of
food, was called in, and in the after
noon the board conferred with Colonel
/ W. Littel, in charge of the construc-
ton of army environments.
One subject given especial considera-
ton was that Of compelling American
producers to sell war supplies TO the
Allies at the same price charged the
American government. Protests against
this policy, it was said, are so general
the government is taking steps TO force
compliance, and if necessary will seek
legislation TO accomplish it.
Reports to-day that steel producers
had declined TO supply the War De-
partment with an order Of rails for
France because Of the low price Of
fered indicated that open opposition to
the announced policy is appearing. The
War Department declined either to
deny or confirm the rumor, although 1t
was learned there had been some sort
of a hitch in negotiations over the
order.
Officials are divided in their opinion
as to whether the government can en-
force the plan respecting Allied pur-
chases without the support Of add
tional legislation. The national defence
act gives it power TO commander sup
plies for war purposes, but in some
circles it is held this would not give
the government authority TO requlsition
materials and resell them 70 It's asso-
ciates in the war. The hope of the
war board is that industry will be
brought over through negotiations and
that no new laws will be required.
This applies also TO the Administra-
tons expressed intent of seeing that
the general public also obtains It's
goods at reasonable prices.
Some officials hold that the priority
bill now before the President gives the
government sufficient power TO do what
Il wishes. Manufacturers, they say,
who decline TO sell at prices prescribed
could be denied the use OF the rail
roads and refused licenses TO ship their
goods.

Coal Men Predict
Big Winter Supply
Especial Co-rusp6ndcnoel

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 9.-Producers
and dealers in anthracite coal in this
city were unanimous to-day in fore
casting an abundant supply Of domestic
sizes without an increase in prices
next winter.
One dealer pointed out the large in
crease in the coal production, amount
ing TO about 100000 tons. In addition
70 this the mining companies have
been shipping unprecedented tonnage
70 New England at the request OF the
national authorities. Il IS expected
that almost the entire winter supply
will be shipped 70 that part OF the
country before winter arrives. Then
the coal companies will be able to sup

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Admiral
Jellicoe Is believed here TO have been
eliminated from control Of the British
naval forces on the sea by the recent
changes in the British Admiralty,
which made Sir Rosslyn Wemyss Sec
ond Sea Lord. This is the opinion Of
Arthur Pollen, the British naval critic,
who has been severe in condemnation
Of the do-nothing policy Of the British
navy in the face Of the U-boat menace.
II he is not mistaken a change in
the British war organization as i'm
portant as the change which virtually
put Robertson in the place Of Kitch-
ener in control of the British land
forces has taken place. And it has
been accomplished by similar methods.
Jellicoe apparently remains the titular
head Of the navy on the sea, but the
power will be in the hands Of Wemyss.
Like Joffre's Promotion
It is like the change which made
JofFrc marshal of France, but put the
command Of the forces in the field in
other hands. And the reason is similar.
Jellicoe, like JofFre, has come to be re-
garded as a defensive fighter, and Jelli-
Goes defensive IS proving ineffective,
for it has failed TO take into account
the U-boat. II has held control of the
sea in the old sense, but is losing the
fruits Of controlling the sea. The adj
vancement of Sir Eric Geddes to the
post Of First Lord was expected 70 be
followed by the removal Of Jellicoe,
and it is believed that Geddes has
chosen the method of changing the
control of Britain's sea policy without
Diminishing the irst Sea Lord.
The choice of Wemyss is regarded
with favor by the critics Of Jellicoe,
who insisted upon a more aggressive
naval policy. Wemyss is said TO be the
best man available in the English navy
il there is to be a new orientatlon Of
Britain's naval problem. He is sup
posed 20 be open minded and TO have
contacts with the younger and more
aggressive elements in the British navy,
which are convinced that the present
British naval policy is failure.
No one here expects that the virtual
displacement Of Jellicoe by Wemyss
