THAT NOTE TO CHINA

The situation which has arisen from
 the fact that this nation addressed a
 note to the Chinese republic regard
 ing the trouble that it is experienc-
 ing and expressing the hope that the
 differences could be speedily adjust
 ed shows how delicate is the ma
 chinery of war when many nations
 are banded together. This country has always manifested an interest in
 China and it is particularly interested in it now as one of the newest of the republics. The purposes of this country were unquestionably of the highest in the sending Of the note, and not a little of the friction has come from the garbIed account there Of which was sent to Japanese newspaper, but Japan aside from that looks upon the act as one which in dicates interference with it's rights in the control of the far eastern situa- -tion- It considers that it is the spe- cial guardian of China and that no other country should attempt to lend q helping hand there without first consulting with the Tokio govern ment.
 Concerning this matter the position of Great Britain is extremely deli cate. This is indicated by the reply which has been sent to Washington concerning its attitude relative to the American note As an ally of long standing it cannot disrupt it's agree ment with Japan regarding the far east. Tn fact 1t is no time to create 2 quarrel among the entente nations. and 1t is not anticipated that such 1 will result, for whatever Japan may fear, t is without doubt unduly alarm 1 cd over the innocent communication which this country is responsible for l The situation is one which will te | adjusted by careful Urea atment and iii | that connection much importance l must be attached to the coming visit l of a diplomatic commission from Ja- pan to this country. All countries in volved must realize that this is no i time to start an estrangement among { the allied nations and nothing was further from the purpose of the Amer Ican note.

THE CRUGEE CASE,

Tn view of tIIe revelations which
 ave been made in the Ruth Cruger
 Ease, there is nothing astonishing about the demands which are being made in New York for an investiga- ion of the police department regard ing it's handling of that case. which zs far as it's efforts are concerned would still be as mu-2 cf q mystery today as t was Immediately follow ing the girls disappearance
 The discovery cf the girls body and the foul murder on the very premises which the police searched and were unable to find a single clue came about through the belief of the woman lawyer in the employ of the girls father that she was the victim of just such a fend or fends as the persistent search by private interests has proven.
 And when the authorities who are named for ferreting out crime and running down criminals made abso- Iutely no progress in explaining the girls disappearance, it is but natural that the people of New York should he aroused. What places the police pr the detective bureau in such a bad position in the matter is that they had already gone over the ground where there is now being found with out any great trouble the many links which clear up the whole affair The inference therefore is that the police were too willing to accept the theory that the girl had eloped or helped in her own disappearance, and failed to pay sufficient attention to the evil dence which was available and could have been secured immediately after the crime was committed had it re- ceived the proper attention The whole affair was bungled and New York is justified in wanting to know the why's and wherefores of it with a view to it In the future.

HOME GARDENS
Heot Care.

1 No incurabIe diseases strike the best | plant with possibly one exception, the leaf spot. Pants attacked by this show purplish spots with gray cen ] ters on the leaves says today's nulle- tim from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission in Washington which is cooperating with the paper in a nation wide campaign for the care of food gardens and against waste in American households.
 Sugar beets seldom recover from this disease, but leaf spot on garden beets can be checked with bordeaux spray. The beet is one of the hardi- est of tubers. The plants usually do not need the careful spraying pre- scribed for other vegetables. Sprays are only to be used when the plants
 Arsenate of lead sprays should be used for killing the two most com mon feeders on the beet plant leaves the beet flea beetle and the web worl, weaves itself in comfortably under the leaves and so should be sprayed from the underside. Both these in- sects are quickly disposed of.
 Spinach aphis, a sucking parasite that attacks beets is found the leaves. SuIphate of nicotine should be sprayed on the leaves as soon as the bugs appear and then repeated when ever necessary. Beet root aphis Ca pant louse) sucks the sap from the root; or bet Itself. This insect is much more difficult to exterminate than the leaf insect. and it also is capable of doing more damage to the plant than any of the other pests. The nicotine of sulphate solution Sd for all sucking insects, should be poured in small amounts around the roots of the plant If the insects are not kill cd by the first app icarion. repeat this treatment every two weeks.
 Swiss chard which is grown by many home gardeners in the North and West, is subject to the same insect pests as beets, and the above treat ments should also be aplied when the .chard plants are attacked.

THE STEEL PRICES.

Interest naturally attaches itself to
 the tentative rates which have been fixed relative to the steel which is be- ing contra cted for by the emergency ship cooperation in the construction of the vessels which are being built by the government for the purpose of meeting the need of greater mer- chant marine. According to the fig ures which General Goethals submit ted for the approval of the shipping board the contracts which the steel men were to be made at a price of s95 a ton. This Chairman Denman refused to approve and he has sealed it down to S56 ton, a saving which is of
 much importance and one which can not be disregarded at such time when the government is striving to obtain fair prices and prevent the pii- ing up of abnormal war profits.
 This might appear to be a reflection upon the good judgment of General Goethals, but upon full analysis this is not disclosed Such prices as are made in awarding these contracts are only tentative prices. They are not the ones that will actually be paid to the steel mills. unless the federal trade commission which is investi- gating the conditions finds from the facts that such is a fair and compen- satory price. Thus whether it was s95 or s56 that was mentioned in re- gard to the steel work it was with the understanding that it was subject to change in accordance with the de- cision of the trade commission. In terest will therefore follow the ac- tion Of this body for it apparently can, if it finds the facts warrant it, raise this amount of s5s to what is right the same as it could reduce the figure of s95 had that been made the tenta- tive amount. The power thus rests with this federal board and ii can be depended upon to see that the gov errment is not made to pay an ex- cessive price. Fairness to all con cerned must prevail.

FROM LUCILE'S DIARY

l Whenever I tell father or mother | that I dearly wish to enlist in national service I am sure to hear a sugges- | ton that I knit or sew or work in the wish to discourage my patriotism by trying to set me at hundrum tasks which are entirely uncongenial. In- stead of allowing me to enter some and perhaps travel about the country organizing other young women, they
 make me stay at home as quietly and
 prosaicaHy as if we were not at war! They do not realize that my talents are largely executive.
 Why don't you go on learning to
 make the Red Cross surgical dress ings?" asked mother yesterday when
 I was complaining that l was not do- ing my bit.
 Because handling the gauge makes me nervous. You know, mother. I'm not suited for such confining work. I like bigger. broader activities that take
 me outdoors"
 Well, then, I'll tell you what you can do today said mother. 'I have a list of people in the neighborfsocd who wish to contribute soft linen and cot ton for Red Cross work. You may go out and collect the bundles That will be a, valuable service, for these mate ria1s are needed for filling fra cture pillows in our auxiliary
 This did not strike me as very ex citing or thrilling occupation, but had declined so many of mothers s ideas that I really had to agree to make the collection for her.
 I did not start immediately after lunch. as she urgel, for I was busy in my own room trying to make a bras sard which I could wear to show I was on patriotic duty. I did not hit upon anything I really liked, so I called up David Robinson. and asked rim to make a design that the Dix Amies girls could al wear. He said he would be .delighted to help me and would come around in the evening to get my idea
 That's perfectly dear of you. Da- yid," I said. but I fear there won't be a quiet spot in this house tonight where we can talk. because mother and Cousin Fannie each have commit tee meetings here. It's too annoying to have such a public spirited house. hold. I suppose we might take a mo- tor ride and discuss the brassard"
 Drive with one hand and sketch with the other?" teased David. No, let's go to the theater and we can make some little designs on the pro- get tickets for something or other"

Views of the VigilantSs
LET'S TALK SENSE.
By Ralph Henry Barbour of The Wig
 iantes.

Let's talk sense, folks. Let's forget this piffle about the war 1 being over in August or September or the day before Christmas Germany isn't beaten yet. Her re- sources of men, ammunition and food are still fair. If she went on half ration tomorrow she could make the war last another year. She may never oc beaten. You don't like the sound of that, but it's true. There's nothing to guarantee the contrary.
 The government has gone into the war on the assumption that it will last another three years al least, and the government knows more of the facts than do those comfortable, cheerfully optimistic persons who smile and wave their hands airily and predict q victory for the Entente Allies about the time winter furs come out of the camphor.
 You and I can hope as much as we please.
 It does no harm. Probably it helps.
 But the memorable fact remains that at the present moment there is every indication of this war going to extra innings.
 But whether it is ended this year or three years from now or twenty years from now, the United States is in it for keeps. We started slow but we're going to last. It's going to take a lot of men and lot of money. Fortunately we've got both. But the men aren't going to do us any good until they're IloDliiZeu anu the money lSn gong to be of use until it's out of our pock- cts.
 The country needs money as much as men.
 Just now she needs it more.
 Give it to her. Don't wait for the next man to come across. Get there ahead of him. Don't talk early peace and say thereIl be plenty of money without yours. You don't know If everyone thought that. there wouldn't be any at all. Take the word of those in position to know and count on the war lasting a long while yet.
 If you accept that as a fact you'n realize the necessity of uolbiiizing your dollars along with the others. Come across, folks,

 Situated 25 miles southeast of Kiev. at the confluence of the Trubez and the Alta rivers, five miles above the left bank of the Dnieper, PereyaslaV's story begins during the last decade of the tenth century when it was found ed by St. Vladimir on the spot where he. as grand duke of Kiev and of all Russia, defeated the savage Turkish tribe of Petchenegs.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

While so many efforts are being
 made to increase the sheep industry in this country for the increase that
 would result in the wool supply, the aid that would be contributed to- the meat supply and the benefit that would result to those engaged there in, especially when the present con- dition of the market is taken into con- sideration, it is impossible to ignore the example which is being set by a resident of Montana who has pur- chased in Mexico 50,000 sheep and plans to turn them loose on the fed eraI forest reserve section of his state as soon as the wool clipping is fn- ished.
 This shows that western sheep rais- CTS are not only responding to the demand for more sheep, and that they are importing large numbers to meet such requirements as well as contrib uting to the many which are being brought east for the revival of the industry herea,bouts, but that they nave available large sections of ter 1itory which can be utilized for this very purpose, and the surprise in this connection that such steps have not been taken before. Turned loose on the forest reserve those sheep are go ing to get a good living. The expense connected herewith is going to be small. but they promise to show a big return for their owner.
 This Montana man who has faith in the possibilities of sheep is not go- ing to utilize all the available land for such purposes il the west There is plenty of such land to be had for that very purpose and there is no req son why it should not be turned to good use. The example is an excel lent one and while the same situation does not prevail in the east there are plenty of farms where sheep raising can be done at a good profit If given the needed encoura cement.
