ECUADOR JOINS PERU
IN SPLIT WITH BERLIN
German Minister From Lima
viii Not Be Permitted to
Stop in Quito.

QUITO, Ecuador. Oct. s.
Ecuadorean secretary of foreign af-
fairs today sent a cablegram to the
Ecquadorean legation at Lima al
announcing that Doctor Pearl. the
German minister to Peru and Ecua-
dor, resident at Lima will not be or
cially received BY the Ecuadorean
government in case ne attempts to
come to Ecuador.
WASHINGTON. oct. S.-By state
department officials and diplomats
the action of Ecquadcr has been con
strued as practically equicalent to a
rupture OF relations with Germany.
Doctor Pearl was handed his pass
pcrts by the Peruvian government on
saturday. II was reported from Lima
the action of Ecuador has been con
suuced as practically equivalent to q
dupture OF relations with Germany
Doctor Pearl was appointed minister
to both Peru and Ecuador and after
the declaration Of war by the United
States. he mailed his credentials to
Quito. The Ecuadorean government
refused to recognize such informal
presentation and then the minister
tried to secure acknowledgment of his
status by sending an agent to Quito
TO act as charge d'affaires. The agent
was not recognized
Diplomats here were convinced to-
day, however, that Ecuador's refusal
TO receive the minister now that he is
willing to 20 to Quito was not due TO
pique, but was carefully calculated as
an indication of the country's inten-
tion to join the majority of South
American nations already aligned
against Germany.
Argentine and Chile in the south
and Venezuela and Colombia on the
north are the only nations of South
America whose positions are not clear
ly defined. With the exception of Co
lombia all four have declared their
neutrality. but the apparent domin-
ance OF Germans in Venezuela and the
factional controversy In Argentina
have made tte future conduct OF those
governments problematical. From Co
lombia nothing more than neutrality
has been expected because of her
resentment against the United States
on account of the controversy over the
building of the Panama canal.

WORKING WITH NATURE.

According to Luther Burbank, the plants
which it is not yet too late to set out are, the
order of their food value per acre, beans Of all
kinds peas, potatoes, sweet and field corn, bar
ley, beets, onions, parsnips, cabbage, turnips,
pumpkins and squash. Vegetables containing
less nutriment but of considerable value in aid
ing the digestion and assimilation Of the more
solid foods are tomatoes lettuce, cucumbers
melons, celery, spinach, radishes, eggplant and
peppers. These be grown in tiny garden
pats and will not only yield return in food
value but in the comfort health and happiness
of those who plant them, tend them and watch
them grow.
Nature never fails to reward in manifold
ways all who cooperate with her to useful ends
1t is beginning to be apparent that her varied
and wonderful productions do not begin to ex-
haust her possibilities, which probably are
limitless. There is reason to believe that ma
ture has potency to create anything that man
has need for or can use to advantage His
part Of the work is to think out what he
would have and intelligently help her to pro
duce it.

COOPERATION WITH THE WILLING.

From all over the country comes news OF
generous offers of land to be used free OF
charge by anyone who will give assurance OF
making business of raising foodstuffs; to
some extent government agencies are taking
advantage Of these offers. But the one pre-
Iventive of more general acceptance of garden
land byindividuals is lack of time and money
to pillow and seed it, the willingness of labor is
not lacking. Therefore it is setting good ex
ample to add to the free use the blowing of it
and seeds, if these are beyond the reach of the
recruit workers pocketbook In Philadelphia
an association of wealthy men and women has
been formed to cooperate with the local
bureau Of garden supervision, which associa-
ton undertakes to pillow and plant any ground
for which the proper authorities will guarantee
responsible care. This is doing in a general
way what large number of industrial plants
are doing for employees who will give time and
labor to gardening. This sort Of cooperation
will greatly facilitate a real food increase and
it is now the time to get the work started.

RUSSIA S IMMEDIATE NEED

Changes in the Russian cabinet, as seen al
long range, are not reassuring of the balanced
craftsmanship which that nation so much
needs. Milukoff, who appeared as the strong
est man Of the revolution and the most fore
sighted of the consequences to Russia of in
ternal disruption, is succeeded as dominating
Influence by Kerensky, whose patriotism was
better evidenced by his speech of despairins
protest than was his balanced Judgment or en-
during strength of purpose. Tereschtenko,
who succeeds Milukoff as foreign secretary is
reported to be in full sympathy with the radi
cal element which is demanding policy Of no
indemnties and no annexations. Kerensl1y be-
comes minister Of and marine, for which
post his particular fitness may be supposed to
rest in possible ability to restore the morale
OF the army and navy.
Russias immediate need is for unitv of MIR
pose IN conduct Of the war and in ESTABLISHING
strong administration of her national affairs
to that end fractional disagreement over naacnI
terms will, if allowed to become paramount
issue, remove her from the war in fact, if NOT
IN open avowal, and will leave her prev 70 in
ternal disorders Of threatening aspect. IF tho
new cabinet can unite the synpathies of the ma
ton on strong central government. commit
ted to settled policy and active in pursuit Of
1t, Its coming to power will be a great asset -
Russia's welfare.

MORE COAL, LOWER PRICES.

Announcement is made that under the men
ace of action by the federal trade commission
the anthracite coal operators and jobbers have
signifed their intention of arranging an I'M
mediate reduction Of prices.
This will be welcome news to householders
some of whom have been filing their bins for
the coming winter with coal at price
that is near the line of prohibitions 1t
will also be pleasant news to local retailers VINO
have been forced to get in driblets the limited
amounts of coal allotted to them by the Jobbers,
at prices and under circumstances which made
it difficult to do business at profit.
Confusing statements cloud the situation 1t
seems to be the fact, however, that there is now
smaller surplus stock of coal above ground
than in ordinary years and that transportation
is more delayed than usual But there is coal
enough beneath the ground and man power
enough to bring it to the surface and supply
the nations needs England solved her more
serious coal problem and we shall solve ours;
and our operators will come to understand that
to meet the emergency confronting us their out
put not their prices, must be increased.

RAILWAY RATE ADVANCE.
Question Has Been SO Thoroughly
Gone Into That Further
Inquiry is Useless

New York Times: 1t is hard to be.
lieve that the interstate commerce
commission has held hearings on the
rate advance for the purpose of get
ting information. Nothing can he
added to the argum ents which have
been made before the commission re.
peatedly. except the facts which
realize the prophecies made when the
arguments were first advanced wears
ago. The commission knew every.
thing about railways without hearing
from them. The railways have
answered every question the commits
sion has asked, and the facts are pub.
lie records. The commission knows
also wha: ought TO be done as well
as what has been done. Nothing is
hid from the commission, and vet
disputes decades old are considered
as part of the pending question. 1t
is intimated that the commission is
willing to allow some relief to the
weak roads but is unwilling to add
to the profits of the strong roads.
This embarrassment is as old as
the rate question. 1t is a reproach
to any commissioner or any congress
man IL he does not know what ought
to be done about it. The truth is
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-05-28

that the commission is more afraid
OF the shippers and congress than it
is OF the railways. The hearings
are not for the information of the
commission. but for the pacification
or congress. The commission and
congress would do well to observe
what is going on in the railway
world. The railways are rendering
the country patriotic service by doing
almost everything which they have
been forbidden to do. They are pool
ing their cars. They are ceasing to
compete. They are running fewer
trains for passengers and more for
freight. They are loading their cars
beyond their marked capacity and
overworking their locomotives. They
are demonstrating in a score or
hundred ways how much more efficient
they can be if they break the laws
designed for the protection of the
public nominally, but really for the
hampering of the railways in earning
dividends.
What they were not allowed to do
for themselves they are allowed to
do for the country. They are doing
1t in good temper, while their regu-

LOAN YOUR CAR.

The chairman of the auto committee of the
Memorial day committee has asked that those
owning cars donate them for the purpose of
transporting civil veterans to the GENE

south in 81 "a they tramped When they ar
rived below the Mason and Dixon line they

The need for larger interstate commerce
commission has been recognized by the senate.
IA bill has been passed providing for mem
bership of nine instead of seven as at present,
and permits the board to divide into sections
for rapid transaction of business. Both these
changes have been urged by experts in trans
portation. But something more is needed, and
congress should amend the interstate com
merce law so as to prevent long delay in put
ting new rates in operation. Delay in this mat
ter has deprived the roads Of revenue needed
at once for the expenses Of operation and it has
had a serious effect in uiscouraging investment
in railroad properties

THE CALL.

THE CALL.
l saw the mountains stand
Silent and wonderful and grand
Looking out across the land
When the golden light was falling
On distant dome and spire;
And heard low voice calling,
Come up higher. come up higher,
From the lowland and the mire,
From the mist of earth desire,
From the vain pursuit OF pelf,
From the attitude of self;
Come UP higher, come up higher"
