Germany Losing the War.

'The war has begun to go against
Germany" says President Wilson in
his message to Russia.
No one knows this better than the
frantic conspirators who are using
their last desperate efforts to retain
control of Germany. The German
people. fed on false philosophy for
generations, are finding little else to
feed upon. At the beginning Of the
war they believed implicitly in the
German war organization. They luiled
their consciences in such phrases as
those of Hegel. Not only must the
state be obeyed. it must be venerated
as a god; success insured by might is
the measure OF right. Having pre-
pared for war for forty years, and see
ing their neighbors unprepared, The
Germans sought to make good Bern
hardi-s devilish doctrine. There never
has been and never will be universal
rights of men.
Persons recently returning from
Germany report that while the army IS
well fed. It Is at the expense of the
aged. the children and the women. TIE
nation behind the lines is underfed.
The government Is using its brute force
against its own people to suppress
domestic uprisings. The army is evil
IDENTIFY short Of necessary materials,
such as copper. rubber and railroad
equipment. Won Hindenpurg is unable
to punish the British and French
armies. which continually press him
back. His counter attacks are showing
less and less vigor. The number Of
n ~ dor
ing is increasing. They tell stories OF
incredible hardships. Intercepted let
tiers confirm these reports.
Failing to defeat England and France
in battle. the German organization re-
sorted TO warfare against the world by
means Of the submarine. hoping to
force England into a position where.
1t would be compelled TO desert its
allies and sue for peace. This plan
has not only failed, but il has drawn
down upon Germany a new foe. more
powerful than any other. The United
States is assembling an army that will
eventually number 10000 600 men. or as
many more as may be necessary 20 de-
feat Germany. This country is helping
every enemy of Germany TO obtain
munitions of war. thereby strengthen
ing them on every front. Ships to
carry these munitions are under con-
struction. and within few months
these vessels will carry supplies across
the ocean in spite Of submarines.
Germany, finding itself unable TO
make Roadway in battle. resorts TO in
trigue in Russia in the hope Of seduc-
ing that country. Its efforts have been
and will be fruitless. The Russians
have already secured their liberty.
They will not hand it over to the con-
spirators who were lately ravaging
Poland.
Slowly but surely the doom Of Ger
many draws near. There is no escape.
The neutrals who were forced to fur
nish supplies can furnish them no long
er. The enemies who were unprepared
are now stronger than Germany. The
western world is becoming one in its
determination that self government
shall be planted beyond the power of
absolutism to disturb 1t. Civilization
is united against the enemy that would
destroy it. With fire and sword Ger
many is receiving the punishment of
those who would defy the world to
Washington Post.

The price was fixed by few gentle
men who are prominent in the business
Of specializing in grain, If that can be
called business. And there is nobody
else who has to be consulted OF who
has to be taken into consideration.
No doubt, the average reader who
ever ponders over what he reads. will
reach the conclusion, and may have
reached ii Immediately that the item
caught his attention that IL there is
any price fixing TO be done, that ought
10 be done, not by spectators, but by
the government of the United States.
If the law of supply and demand is to
DE suspended, then we should substi-
tute for that law, not the selfish juds-
ment of a few spectators. but the wis
dom and power of the government OF
the United States.

PRICE FIXING.

The announcement was made a few
days ago. that the high price for corn
had been set at $3.50 per bushel. There
-.ay have been some nennle who won
dered how that was done.
They would have supposed that the
farmers who grow the corn, and who
ought to be interested, would have had
some voice in the matter. But they
were not consulted.
And 1t might have occurred to some
of the readers that perhaps the men
who buy corn in large quantities and
work 1t up into various finished pro-
ducts might have had part in that de-

A PATRIOTIC FARMER?

THE TROOP MOVEMENT SOUTH.
TCedar RAPIDS Republican,

Just why our Iowa troops should be
carried 10 Texas before they are TO go
abroad is something that the southern
men who are strong with the admin
istration can probably account for. But
they have the say so now and We VIII
have 20 make the best of it, nor should
we permit ii to stand in the way OF
the service that is now called for. We
trust that we will at all times have q
minimum of sectionalism and partisan
ism. but we shah not be able to escape
either entirely. The southern men are
not going to throw any favors away.
