SOUTH AMERICAN SITUATION.

The two most important South american
| statcs--Argentine and Brazil-have definitely de-
cidcd to back up the United States in the war VITA
; Germany. The remaining states seem to be about
! equally divided, with Chill, the largest of these
inclined to lean toward the Kaiser. At least, the
note Chill recently sent to Brazil, notifying that
Eepublic that the step it took in break ng of re-
lations with Germany created a "deplorable condi-
ton" leads to the belief that the German element
still controls in that republic.
Of course, it doesn't much matter regarding
the inclination of Chill, Mexico and several of the
other dissenters. They cannot help Germany and
cannot harm us appreciably, unless submarine
Jases are permitted to form along their coastlines.
The American government in recent years
held great stock in "Pan-Arcericarism." Our gov
eminent not only let it be known to the world that
it would fight to uphold the Monroe Doctrine
which is of inestimable benefit to South America
but courted and favored a close understanding
with all South American republics and encouraged
them to work out their salvation along the highest
planes of civilized effort.
1t has been a distressing fact that some Of
these republics have not reciprocated much. Some
of them were even opposed to the Monroe Doc
trine and resented it as an assumption Of Ameri-
can protection that was not wanted, in spite of the
fact that not one of these republics would be able
to stand on it's own feet if thrust into a war with
a frst-eiass power,
However. our efforts for an agreeable Pan
Americanism has been like bread thrown upon the
waters, which it was hoped would return in due
course The fact that Brazil and the Argentine,
as well as Bolivia and some Of the other South
American states, Immediately fell in with us in
the war against Germany, giving us at least the
prestige of their moral support, inclines us to the
belief that Pan-Americanism is not an idle dream,
but is a fact that all nations of the world must
consider.

THE OREGON LAND CASE,


The victory of the government in the suit
against the Southern Pacific railroad, involving
ownership to {, loo, 900 acres Of land on the Pacific
coast, was not entirely unexpected, especially in
view of the decision Of the lower court against the
company.
The railroad company had a poor case. It
got the land from the government under certain
conditions, and clearly violated them. Its claim
that the statute of limitations applied did not hold
water because this statute was not made to apply
to such cases, which was a binding contract be-
tween the government and the railroad to last all
time.
The effect of the decision will be far-reaching.
It means that other land held by corporations un-
der similar conditions will have to be applied &C.
cording to these conditions, and not held from
settlers or sold to them at a tremendously increas-
ed price above the governmental stipulation.
The history of the United States in connection
with western railroads is not particularly elevat-
ing. Uncle Sam made grants Of millions Of acres
of land to help build the roads, and 1t has been the
rule to consider the land as property worth all the
market affords, in violation Of conditions of sale.
There is evidence that the days Of conscience
less dealings between INSCRIPTIONS corporations
and the government are about past.
It may hurt the market value of stocks, Of
course, but not the cause of justice.

SUGAR FAMINE CUTS
CANDY PRODUCTION
Supplies for All Such Luxurles
CurtalIed by Order Of Food
Administration.

A sweeping order that supplies Of
sugar to manufacturers Of candy,
strip and other 'luxuries" must be
curtalled, If not entirely stopped, I'M
til January, when the new Cuban sugar
will be available, has been issued by
Herbert @. Hoover, the food admins
traitor.
Reports were received from New
York and other large cities that as a
result of the sugar famine consumers
were offering % cents a pound for
sugar. Mr.. Hoover asserted that such
individuals and the retailers accepting
such offers were forgetting the best in
terests of the United States Hoard
ers Of sugar, 1t was pointed out, were
hampering the war program.
Attention has been called BY the
food administration to the fact that
the shortage will be only temporary
and that conservation will make 1t pos
sible to handle the situation without
reducing the per capita consumption
to anything like that in England or
France. The food administration is
convinced that consumers will meet
the situation periodically and that the
rapaclous buyers are relatively few.
Retail dealers who endeavor to make
large profits because Of the temporary
shortage will be carefully watched.
Mr.. Hoover is confident that no real
sugar crisis will occur.

Reviuing Old Time
YuLe Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
women In many communities to
spread a revival Of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago q Boston woman with q touch Of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu
late Boston to revive pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating It's coming
by singing carols In the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing of candles in the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston in this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, community
Christmas tree was lighted In the pub
lie square, and Its glowing JOY was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed In the windows,
many of which showed in the middle
of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the passersby In the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use of candles-has been the risk Of
fire. But these days Of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out Of
the friendly suggestion. 1t is advised
therefore that ''the gladness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end 1t Is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light is associated with all that is good
In life The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to II than that. Light
In days gone by was supposed to keep
of evil spirits.-sailie Wistar In Phila.

FORGOTTEN GRAVES?

Edward Markham, the poet, under
the unpatriotic title, II Did Not Raise
My Boy TO Be a Soldier, wrote this
stanza:
30 mothers, will you longer give
your sons 10 feed the awful hunger OF
the guns? What ia the worth Of all
these battle drums II from the field the
loved one never comes? What all these
loud hozannas 10 the brave II all your
spare Ia some forgotten grave"
DR.. James L. Hughes, for over forty
years Superintendent of Education OF
the schools of Toronto, Canada, an
swered this poem, Greater significance
is given TO the answer by the fact that
DR.. Hughes own son was killed in bat
tie and lies in Belgium. His answer
was first published in the Christian
Guardian of Toronto, and is repub'
lished by us with some slight corrections
made by Dr. Hughes tor the Manu-
facturers' Record. Herewith is DR.,
DR., Hughes reply to Markham,
God gave my son in trust to me;
Christ died for him, and he should be
A man for Christ He is his own,
And Gods and mans not mine alone,
He was not mine TO give. He gave
Himself that he might help to save
All that Christian should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear,
"To feed the Guns?" All, torpid soul
Awake, and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice, right
Were threatened by the despot $ might,
With heart aflame and soul alight,
He bravely went for God to fight
Against base savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defed
Forgotten grave % This selfish plea
Awakes no deep response in me,
For, though his grave may not see,
My boy will ne'er forgotten be.
My real son can never die;
IT'S but his body that may lie
In foreign land, and shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever, deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of triumphs that he won.
1t matters not where any one
May lie and sleep when work is done,
1t matters not where some men live;
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas ! will sing for him
Zen though my eyes with tears be dim;
And when the war is over, when
His gallant comrades come again,
III cheer them as they're marching by,
Rejoicing that they did not die.
And when his vacant place see,
My heart will bound with JOY that he
Was mine so long my fair young son
And cheer for him whose work is done

In letter to be mailed to a selected
list of names this week Mrs. Bingham
H. Stone, chairman of the Red Cross
Seal Committee of the Vermont Asso-
citation for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, writes. 1--WE cannot postpone
work against tuberculosis until after
the war, because the war is increasing
the prevalence of the disease" The
sale of seals will accordingly be begun
this week.
1t is felt by all who are informed
about the work of preventing tubercu-
losis that to curtail this work on ac-
count of the eXactions of the would be a
grave mistake and followed by the most
serious consequences. On the con-
trary, the fact that the prevalence OF
the disease is increasing in Europe
makes it imperative that the work be
carried on with redoubled energy.
The Vern ont Association for the Pre-.
vention of tuberculosis, in addition tC
increasing its other activities, is plan
ming to provide place for the care anc
cure of children who are exposed to the
disease and show indication of develop
ing it.
Last year Vermonters bought an av
erage of one and two thirds seals each
This year the association hopes to in
crease this to three seals for every citi
zen of the state.

Fit Car Like Dentists Office

DR.. f. f. johnson, the dentist who
this week initiates pioneer movement
in Vermont in treating children in rural
districts, is arranging for his equip
ment. Doctor Johnson will use an au-
tomoble in travelling the state, but this
car will be unlike anything yet seen in
the country. 1t will lie fitted up as a
travelling dental office with full equip
ment, chair, apparatus, etc, used by
an up-to-date dentist.
The doctor will begin his work in the
town and district of Dorset, and will re-
main there until he inspects and treats
all children between the ages of 6 and
II years.
Doctor Johnson, not only will treat
the children, but will give lectures to
the grown-ups on the ACCESSIBILITY of
caring for the teeth, these lectures be-
ing supplemented by interesting NOV
ing pictures. Literature, appropriate
to the subject will also be distributed.
All of this service will be absolutely
free to the people in the districts Wis
tied, the territory being where the ser
vices of local dentist are not availa-
BILE.
This practically free dental treatment
is absolutely new in this country and
the experiment in which Vermont leads
will be watched with keen interest in
its results. 1t is made possible by a
fund created by Redfeld Proctor and
his sister, Miss Proctor of Proctor.
The enterprise is being carried out
under the direction of the state depart
ment of education, the Vermont Dental
Society, and the Vermont board OF
health.
