No Separate peaee-The Reason Why.

The resolution, already introduced in a2arres',
for an agreement by the United States with the
Allies to accept no peace that is not satisfactory
to all Of them is sure to occasion much discussion,
But let everyone remember the United States
is in this war to fight the battle Of democracy
against autocracy and it is in it as of group
OF nations fighting the same battle, none Of whom
could hope alone to cope with the entrenched
enemy successfully
II the German war lords could fight these ma
tons separately, the triumph OF autocracy would
be foreordained. In word, we must bark back
to cur old motto, 'In union there is strength"
and the continued union of all tie Allies, the
United States included, is essential to victory.
Remember above all that freedom for US to
make separate peace carries with it freedom for
our Allies to make separate peace. A separate
peace by our Allies would mean Germany con-
tinuing the war, separately, against the United
States left to fight alone.
mo separate peace" then, is the only guaranty
we can have against a separate war, and Our
only assurance that what we are fighting for will
be safeguarded in the final treaty terms.

Garden Patch on the White House Lawn.

President Wilson announces his determination
to devote portion Of the White House lawn to
the establishment Of kitchen garden, that he
may lead his people by example as we'll as by
precept. In thus doing his bit" the president
may restore something of vanished simplicity
to American life and in some measure recall the
days of Dolly" Madison, who was equally at
home in the kitchen or the drawing room of the
presidential mansion. Everywhere rulers and
leaders of the world are giving encouragement
to the people by personally observing all wise
aud needful regulations. Albert of Belgium is in
the trenches; George Of England is living like a
commoner; Wilhelm Of Germany shares SOL
diers fare; Poincare of France moves without
ostentation or display, and Wilson with hoe
will be more of a true inspiration than Wilson
with golf stick. Exercise in the truck patch
will be just as beneficial as on the Chevy Chase
links and opportunity and provoeation alike for
saying "tut-tut' or fudge" will ever be present
As Cincinnatus left his plow to save Rome, let
Mr.. Wilson turn to gardening to help Americans
save themselves.

Our Country Always in the Right.

As man and moral leader we have had
the greatest admiration for the Rev. Mr.
Baltzly, but in setting himself up now to preach
resistance and obstruction to the prosecution OF
the war, he is making grievous mistake.
Up toy the moment congress passed the war
resolutions in response to the presidents recon-
mendation it was the privilege of Mr.. Batzy
oppose our entrance into the conflict and to urge
his views on those charged with official RESPONSE
bility. Up to that moment he could call the pro-
posed war "Mr. Wilson's war;" if he so desired
But when congress acted, it could be no longer
"Mr. Wilson's war" for it had become the war
autocracy, the war which would determine
whether our free republic should be an equal
among the nations Of the world or take orders
from the German military machine.
Under such conditions, for man of the in
teligencc, education and standing of the Rev. Mr..
Baltzly to talk as he is talking tends to give re-
spectability to ignorant or ill-intentioned efforts
to hamper the government in carrying out neces-
sary war measures Mr.. Batzly is doing exactly
what the sympathizers with Germany desire, nay
exactly what the German kaiser himself wants
done over here. On this point there can be no
division Of opinion among patriotic citizens.
"Our countryp said Decatur, "in her inter-
course with foreign nations, may she always be
in the right; but our country, right or wrong"
To that sentiment every loyal citizen must
subscribe.

Food Supply Plans

II the plans for increasing and conserving the
food supply, promulgated by secretary Houston,
can be carried into successful execution the chief
problem OF the war will be happily solved In
creasng the acreage OF spring wheat and OF corn,
in their respective belts, the planting of forage
crops in the south and intense cultivation Of a
normal cotton crop, the repanting Of other crops
where winter wheat has been killed, the planting
of beans and potatoes and vegetables and the
larger raising of hogs and poultry would insure
an adequate food supply, provided labor for or
binary farming and for harvest time can be prop
erly modified and provided some of the waste,
which Mr. Houston some time ago estimated at
S00000.000 year, can be eliminated,
1t will 4equire much work on the part OF fed
eral and state agricultural departments and much
agitation in all American communities to get these
plans carried out. Organized bodies should take
hold Of the problems OF selecting and distributing
the seed. Country banks. country merchants and
the commercial clubs OF towns in agricultural Sec
tons have splendid opportunity to push, under
the pressure of war necessity methods which
would greatly enrich their sections if employed
at any time. The greatest single industry in
America is run on hit and miss plan that should
have been altered at least half century ago If
system can be devised under which each farmer
viii raise in the right way the things that are
needed and his products will reach the consumer
in sure, expeditions and inexpensive manner
the biggest economic problem OF our time will
have been solved II would be worth the cost Of
the war to have such a system permanently es-
tablishcd
The mobilization OF farm labor for example
would be worth millions. II every idle youth
could and would get on nearby farm, it would
mean much to the farms and to the youths II
the right number OF harvest hands could be
supplied, without unnecessary journeying, il
would benefit everybody. This can be accom-.
2lished BY the right sort Of organization.

Free Trade With Canada.

The government Of the Dominion of Canada
has suspended the duty on wheat imported from
the United States which action automatically sus-
ponds the countervaling duty levied by the United
States. This is neighbory move although it
is based on mutual engagements in connection
with the war. To Americans it offers the pres
ent advantage of access to Canadas great wheat
crop, certain to be factor in the economic stu
alton during the coming months.
Closer relations with Canada have long been
sought from Washington and overtures for re-
adjustment Of tariff schedules have several times
resulted in conferences without final action. A
reciprocal trade treaty failed in 1909 because of
the opposition of the Canadian conservatives, who
overthrow Sir Wilfred Laurier, ablest Of all the
Dominions premiers, on the issue The manu-
facturers Of Ontario had the support OF the wheat
raiscrs OF the northwest in this campaign but
conditions have radically changed since then and
the wheat growers are now to gain at no expense
to the other industries
World politicians look forward to the estab-
iishment Of pure republic in place of the do
mnion form of government for Canada at the
close of this war The position of Our Lady of
the SHOWS in the list of nations has long been
one of peculiar advantage, with the close friend
ship and cooperation Of both the United States
and England, and its future is bright The closer
we get together the better it will be for the peo-
pie on both sides of the longest boundary line
without fort the world ever knew.

Another Prophetic Vision.

Omaha, April Ito the Editor
OF The Bee: In your paper of the 9Th
instant. appeared an article giving
full description of strange signs in
the heavens seen by Lorenzo d. Fox,
with four companions in 1916; and
by II. Nv. Bowman in 1901.
In both instances the flags were
prominent features. The first to be
seen included the miraculous writing
of the figures 1861; the second showed
the date 1918, with Old Glory poised
high in the center of other national
banners. History has registered well
the prefigured events of the sos, be-
ginning with the date engraved in the
sky. But this nation. that knows not
the consuming fire of hate, even after
witnessing and feeling the more than
savage. yea brutal strokes of fieeting
force, is calmly putting on strength
and fearlessly griding up its loins to
meet the events predgured for the
coming year ,--.,-.
Reading of these experiences turned
my thought to vivid similar scene
impressed upon my consciousness. 1t
was most awe-inspiring sight. My
husband and l were sitting by an
open south window one quiet night in
July lCl Z, DtlN et1I tnS 1lOuTS VI y d 1u
10 o'clock. the bright rays of full
moon streamed into the room, flooding
1t with a mellow light. By chance we
looked up at the heavens and we
were both awed for a time into silent
astonishment at the sight of gil
gantic cross in the southeastern sky,
near the zenith, above and close to
the moon. ,.,.,
There plO1lI tn he
just the magnificent white cross and
the moon against the blue of infinite
space. The starry region above
seemed to lessen its glow in adora-
ton Of the handiwork below.
We marveled and gazed upon 1t at
least fifteen minutes. when 1t faded
slowly from our view. Such an I'M
speakable, joyous feeling possessed me
when this, the greatest of all paint
ings, was added to my mental gallery,
that l went direct to the Artist of
Artists and asked the meaning of the
new picture, and to my inner ear, as
clearly as the vision had appeared to
my physical eye, the answer came:
"a New Era"
1t was such an awakening and I'M
heard-of experience, at least to the
eye, that | could not bring myself to
speak of it to anyone outside of the
home, or to write 1t up for publica-
ton, until seeing the article men
toned. / searched the papers and
magazines for months afterward,
hoping to see it described by some
one more able than l that l might
also testify.
We both continued to be vigilant
many evenings following, anxious to
see the huge cross again, for 1t
seemed too prominently formed in its
position not to be seen every night
These signs written in the heavens,
to the receptive thought, have a close
connection. Since the great nations of
the earth have for centuries achieved
their aims under the inspirational in
fluence of these two emblems, the
Cross and the Flag.
