MORE OATMEAL

Last year the wheat crop was largely
faiure in the spring wheat States and the
total yield for the United States and Canada
was small But the crop of oats was very
good running well over the usual figures
Now It Is probable that the yield of wheat
VIII be a little larger than the crop of
1916 but II will still fall far below the
average or recent years. on the other hand
there is fair chance that the crop of oats
VIII not only exceed last years good har-
vest by about l30000OO0 bushels, but will
also break all records for the United States
These conditions point to more than the
usual adoption of Scotch diet, II looks
very much like the most general eating ~
oatmeal and oaten cakes that the countrv
mas ever known. Prices will guide CON
sumption in that direction Economy will
argue the wisdom of eating more Of the
grain on which the Scotch have buiIt nm
their remarkable vigor Of body and mind
That would be no loss TO the country or
any real hardship There are many wave
OF using oats for human food. II is not
necessary to eat mush or porridge in order
10 give that grain a place among the food
staples or an American household And
there is no reason why more eating Of oats
should not coincide with Improvement in the
health and physical condition of thoussnds

long.advocated plans are in practical use ;
and more happily STILL that after a trying
and seriously disadvantageous beginning
the war will result in victory for the Allies
and their cause Of right.
Artillery Spells Victory
THE fact making this a moral certainty
and a logical deduction is that France
and her allies are and will remain the
stronger In heavy artillery, the very means
in which they were woefuly weak in
August, 1914 l have it upon the personal
statement of three internationally known
generals in the French army, each Of whom
is my personal friend, that constant future
advance upon the western front is as GER
tain as the sun shining through that win
dow and that these advances will be made
entirely possible through our artillery su-
pertority over the enemy. 1t is evident, too,
from another point of view that this supe-
riority will continue to the end that is, from
the point of view of the English control Of
the sea- whereby Germany is denied many
essentials required in even her present re-
versed position Of defense.
Il do not decry our marvellous poilu nor
his superb officer. I only say they cannot
win alone despite their courage and devo-
tion, for 1t takes iron to wear down iron
to bring ultimately the something like
Utopia sought by Europe through the
crushing defeat, the definite adjustment of
Prussian mlitarism.
That is the first step in realization of
president wilson's humane project, should
such broad scheme for the good of the
world ever become fully realizable. It is a
long journey, and to those Of us who know
Germany, not to be reached through peace
without victory
For the first step toward II Is barred
by the evil that has come out of Prussian
ambition and militarsm a menace that
must definitely be disarmed ere progress
can take up her staff of human frailty and
proceed upon her way"

DEADLOCK ON SEA AND LAND;
VICTORY IN AIR

A FEW miles Of water sown thicltly with
"A mines keep Engiand's and Germany's
navies from a decision. They are like
two bulldogs crazy to fight but so chained
that they cannot reach each other. Power
ful offenslves recover ten or fifteen
square miles Of land from time to time but
this is slow work in view Of the fact that
nearly 10000 square miles Of French and
Belgian soil are yet to be recovered.
Thus the two old.fashioned means Of
fighting promise no quick decision.
The two now ways of lghting-
undersea and in air-present no such
symptoms Of deadlock The subma-
rines are racing with the shlpbuiders,
and the submarines are ahead in the
race. But just as the undersca battle
cannot be deadlocked so long as Ger
many can turn out hundreds Of sub.
marines, so the air battle cannot be dead.
locked so long as the Allied nations turn
out thousands Of aeroplanes.
Aeroplanes must race with submarines
In their destructive processes. Strangely
enough, these two new weapons are now
coming into actual conflict, as sub.
merged U.boats can best be seen from
the Air and bombed. The planes hunt the
pirates as fishhawks hunt for fish.
The United States should invest enor-
mously in aircraft. We should buEd
many thousands of planes with which we
could drive the German machines out Of
the air and free whole sea zones from the
U-boat menace. The idea is popular. and
rightly so. II is not amateur strategy,
but the mature opinion of experts as well.
once the German batteries are blinded"
by the removal Of their shell-gulding
planes from the air, while the Allied and
American planes continue to give the
gunners back of them information, the
drive into Belgium will be unimpeded.
once we have established safe sea routes
with huge fleets of seaplanes the U.boat
will no longer be a menace.

FRIDAY, august s, me.
Human nature Ia fond Of novelty

FROM 'Ihe spectator or Friday, AUGUST y, lflZ
Friddy, august s, I7i2.
Human nature Is fond Of novelty
There is no humor In my countrymen
which 7 am more inclined to wonder nj
than their general thirst after news
There are about half dozen ingenious
men who live very plcntfullv upon this
curiosity of their fellow subjects They
all Of them receive the same advices from
abroad, and very often in the same words
but their way of cooking Is so different
that there is no citizen who has an eye
to the public good that can leave the
coffee house with peace Of mind before
he has given every one Of them a read
ing These several dishes of news are
so very agreeable TO the palate of my
countrymen that they are not only pleased
with them when they are served up hot,
but when they are again set cold before
them by those penetrating politicians who
OhliEe the public with their reflections and
observations upon every piece Of intelli-
gence that is sent us from abroad. The
text Is given us by one set Of writer's
and the comment by another.
But Notwithstanding, we have the same
tale told us in so many different papers.
and II occasion requires, In so many
articles Of the same paper, notwithstand.
ing i'm scarcity of foreign posts we hear
the same story repeated by different ad.
vices from Paris, Brussels, The Hague and
from every great town I'm Europe; not.
wlthstandinE the multitude Of annotatlons,
explanations reflections and various read.
inEs which it passes through, our time
lies heavy on our hands TIL the arrival
Of a fresh mail. We long to receive
further particulars to hear what will be
the next step or what will be the con-
sequences of that which has been already
taken. A westerly wind keeps the whole
town in suspense and puts a stop to
conversation
