Christiania.-Of twelve ships sailing
in convoy from Norway to England
and sunk by German cruisers, five
were Norwegian, representing a total
of 3,400 tons, two We're Dutch Danish,
two Swedish. one Belgian and two
British ~destroyers.
Germany suffered little less than a
disaster in the air when four and prob
ably five Zeppelin a~irships, believed
to be returning from a raid on Eng
land, were brought down in French
territory by airplane and anti-aircraft
gunlire.
The sea tragedy cost the British the
lives of 1875 officers and men on the
~destroyers, who We're left to their fate
by the German raiders, as were the
crews of the sinking merchantmen.
About 100 of the merchant sailors,
however, are known to have reached
the shore in boats or on British patrol
craft. All but three of the trading
ships were of Scandinavian national
ity, most of them apparently being
small vessels.
The story of Germany's reverse in
the air began with the account of Il
raid on England Friday night. Re
ports soon began to be received, how
ever, of Zeppelins being brought down
in France. These were at first sup
posed to belong to an independent
raiding fleet. Dispatches from France,
however, declared them to be the raid
ers returning from England. They had
appeared over French territory, it was
stated, and were scattered to various
parts of the country as the alarm went
out and the French airmen rose in
swarms to attack them.
The loss of four Zeppelins is admit
ted in an official statement received
in Amsterdam from Berlin. An air

ham, Nottingham, Derby, Lowestoft,

former imperial chancellor. yesterday
asserted it was his impression that
James w. Gerard, former ambassador
TO Germany, in writing his revelations
OF Germany's war aims, gave a some
what free rein to his Imagination.
The statement of the former chancel-
Tor was the result of his reading in a
London newspaper Mr.. Gerard's YER
sion of a conversation with him last
January in which it was alleged that
Germany's peace terms were set
forth.

particular conversation" said DR..

ciared Press. Mr.. Gerard attributed
~utterances to me which may have
been made in other quarters in Ger
many, and to which he frequently re-
ferred in the progress of our CONVEX
sation. but which We're not my own.
This applies especially to his refer
ence to Germany's alleged intentions
to seize Liege and Namur. and of
Germanyss plans to take possession of
the Belgian ports and railways and
TO establish military and commercial
dominion over that country.
Had Said Nothing About Guarantees.
Y never unfolded such German
war aims TO Mr.. Gerard. In the
course of my several conversations
with him. as also in our discussion
last January. I Invariably referred to
MY Reichstag speeches, in which I
stated that Germany would exact
positive guarantees that Belgium ter
ritory and politics would not in the
future re exploited as a menacing
factor against us. I did not make n
statement as to the nature of these
guarantees.
in the progress of our conversa-
ton Mr. Gerard suggested that thu
realization of far-reaching aspirations
IN Belgium would give King Albert
merely a sham authority and asked
Ehether it would not be better for
Germany to forego such plans and in
stead of them endeavor to acquire
Liege. which Sr. Gerard thought pos
sibIe of achievement.
Perhaps this suggestion was. a

Jane Gerson, tossing on her pillows,
heard the mellow bell Of a clock
somewhere in the dark and silent
fifth time she had counted the meas
ured strokes of that bell as she lay,

Over and over again she had conned
to come at the end against the Inn
passe of General Crandall's blunt de-
NAL: You shan't sail in the morn

considered flight by stealth-the scai-
ing of walls, perhaps, and a cropping
through dark streets to the wharf,
there to smuggle herself somehow on
a tender and so gain the Saxonia. But
her precious gowns! They still re-
posed in their bulky hampers here in

leave them behind would be worse

seemed absolute.

PRICE REDUCTION

The price OF wheat as fixed by the price commission
as the basis Of government purchases is the price which
make all its purchases on the basis OF s2.2 per bushe]
the use Of the United States, but for all the nations which
are in alliance with us. That will exhaust our surplus
ana the price thus established will be the ruling one
That price is out of proportion to the cost OF most other
commodities. and to that extent it falls short OF equity.
But the price has been established, and it is now the
duty of the government which has fixed it to put forth
every effort, and. for the citizens generally to second
those efforts, to correct the existing inequity by bringing
about such a reduction in general commodity prices as
will restore the balance which should exist between in.
come and cost in all branches OF activity.
In the matter Of prices we have been blowing an
enormous bubble. It has been perfectly evident that Its
expansion could not continue indefinitely. The unfor-
tunate thing lis not that 1t has been punctyred, If 1t has
been. but that in the process loss has been inflicted on
food producers who were entitled, both in morals and as
a matter Of expediency. to the careful consideration OF
the government.
One element that has tended to produce this result
has been the almost criminal delay in the passage Of the
food control bill. That delay was due to the di1iatory
methods OF certain members of congress who. for reasons
known to themselves, were more interested in talking than
In acting. II the bill had been passed when II should
have been there would have been no expectation OF a
price for wheat greater than that which has been fixed,
and no occasion for II. because there would have been a
conviction that With the price ofwheat at the rake taen
commodities deprived OF their excessive features, which
have largely been gained since June, q fairly just balance
would again have prevailed.
The present duty Is to work for prices ON the COM
modities which enter into the general consumption to a
level approximately In accord with the price OF wheat.
In that way. and in that way only. can we reach a basis
which Will be fairly satisfactory because reasonably Just.

APPEALING TO II LAW

dultu ldWOTedkerS nave a ISSnlOn or appealing
for protection to the very laws which they have Violated
and held in contempt. The !. W. w. agitator is essentially
q laWbreaker, but when an effort is, made to suppress
him in the interest of society he appeals to the laws Tor
protection. He who has denied and defie6 the constitu-
ton claims his rights under chat constitution.
In the present great national crisis the supreme duty
Of the nation, under the laws and the constitution, at the
very base of the organization. is to carry this war to it's
just conclusion. Anything that interferes with that is a
violation Of the laws on which the nation rests, and it is
an act of hostility against the men who wear the Ameri-
can uniform and against the millions who are assuming
obligations and preparing to endure privations in order
that the purposes of the war may be attained. And yet,
the moment there are evidences of interference with the
work Of these pestiferous mischief-makers, there is an
appeal to the laws for protection, and again there is talk
of constitutional rights that are being violated.
Some one in authority in the Peoples Council has
said that the proposed meeting of the society will be
conducted strictly according to law. The governor of
North Dakota has intimated that the society will be given
protection in this state so long as its proceedings are con-
Quoted lawfully. The announcement of these conditions
is a miserable subterfuge.
THERE CAN BE NO
MEETING OF THE PEOPLES COUNCIL BECAUSE
THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE SOCIETY IS PREDI-
GATED ON OPPOSITION TO THE LAWS OF THE
LAND.
The Peoples Council exists for the specific purpose
Of obstructing the prosecution Of the war BY the govern
ment of the United States. Such obstruction is unlawful,
and the society that exists for that, purpose cannot do
anything lawfully, for it is itself an outlaw.
Suppose a German soldier, wearing the uniform of
his army, were found within the enemy's lines. Suppose
he should say to those who accosted him.5 eI am UNI
armed. I am powerless TODD any damage I am here
merely TO look at the scenery I should not be- modest
ed" What would be the reply? Simply: surrender or
die" Armed or unarmed. peaceful or violent, no man
from the enemy's camp can be permitted within our
lines.
The Peoples Council Is an enemy within our lines. A
meeting of that society, no matter where held or how
conducted, is a movement in aid and comfort Of the en-
envy, an insult to the patriotic sentiment of the rAtior,
q menace to the safety of our soldiers and to the security
of our civilians, an intolerable thing to be resented by
every loyal and self-respecting American. In appealing
to the law for protection the people who are behind this
movement are appealing to that which they have oppos-
ed and repudiated, and it is the business of those who
are charged with the enforcement of law to see that it is
not perverted from its true purpose and made to operate
to the undoing Of the nation rather than to the promo
ton of its security and the perpetuity Of its ideals.
