which Wilson desires to cultivate! Wilson even went into the war as a. peace apostle.'
 Asserting that Americas hunger for expansion reaches beyond the limits or the American continent, the writer says that since the war with Spain Amerf- can thoughts and plans fly overseas, especially in the Pacific Ocean. "1s Wilson really in such circumstances, the right man to preach us the doc- trine of perpetual peace ?"
 In the chapter entitled History or the Peace League" Herr Spiesz says: "One can understand the rage of oul enemies over our n1ilitarisrn and can well believe that their real aim is to destroy it. for they all know. or any, way feel, that with the tire of German militarism the conception of the Ger. r1an militarism the conception of the German state would be uprooted." He contends that the desire of Germany s enemies is to impose upon the German | people an aI1ti-militaristic democracy. and that this desire is even echoed | ih President Wilson's peace messages. | Under the chapter heading, "A Pic ture of Germany's Future" the writer openly demands territorial annexa- tions and an increase of German mill itary and naval power. He urges that those who have believed and still be- 1ieve that Gerunany's real greatness lies in her economic development and kul- tur are hopelessly wrong. For Ger man kultur is a byword and g. missing among our enemies and many neu- trals, while our whole economic rise ir the world collapsed at the first shock of the war"

the powers he asked and rightly re- fused Both Houses refused. But he goes on-one of those irresponsi- ble personal agents, without resopnsf- bflfev, without definite office: He employs men, he spends large amounts of the public money, and 1t Is construed an impsrtinence If we ask where the public money IS spent.
 We do need to keep many things secret. I know the State Department Is doing it. I am sure. the War De- partment is doing it, and when the Navy Department abandons MT. Creel they will do it.

concur with this opinion. Ii was the
opinion Of many operators, however
that. despite the apparent shortage
in supplies. values ahev been ad-
vanced too rapidly and the hys-
terical buying which has been going
on Tor some weeks mas not been well
founded. in view OF the favorable pros
poets for the crop and also in view OF
the strenuous efforts being INDUCED IN
on every hand to increase the domestic
production Of all kinds OF foodstutls
On the advance there was the heaviest
selling experienced in some time, and
under pressure of liquidation prices
broke 7l2c. TO 9l2c. from the top, and
ut the close ranged from Sac. net
higher 70 2l4c. net lower. Peace
rumors from Europe were thought TO
have been partly responsible for the
break. but it was the consensus Of
opinion among students of the situa-
ton that the market was badly over
bought. and stop-loss orders were I'M
covered on the decline. Exporters re-
fused to follow the advance, and no
business was reported Crop accounts
were cgain favorable, although the
weather. especially in the Northwest
was considered too cool.
