GERMANY'S WORD
IS NO GUARANTEE
so SAYS PRESIDENT WILSON IN
ANSWER TO THE PoPE's
PEACE PROPOSAL
U. S. REPLIES FOR ALLIES
Although Tenor of Presidents Reply
Anticipated, There Was no lndi-
cation of the ForcefuI Terms
He Would Use

Washington, August 29.-Presiden
Wilson has rejected the pope's peace
proposals.
In a note dispatched Monday an6
made public here last night the presi
dent says that while every heart not
blinded and hardened by the terrible
war must be touched by the moving
appeal of his holiness, it would be
folly to take the path of peace he
points out if it does not in fact lead
to the goal he proposes.
| To deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benedict's plan, declared the president,
would involve a recuperation of the
strength and renewal of the world
domination of that power, now baked,
but not defeated, after sweeping a
continent with the blood of innocent
women and children and the helpless
poor, as well as of soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the principals
and upon justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind" he adds,
and 1--WE cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure,
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other principals of the
war would be justified in accepting"
In Washington President Wilson'S
rejection of the proposals is regarded
as the high water mark of the war.
virtual selection of the president by
the allies as their spokesman before
the world.
The note comes as climax to the |
series of state documents
in which President Wilson has argued |
the cause of world democracy in the |
high court of public opinion and &C
cepted more and more by the people
of all the allied countries as express
ing their ideals.
There appears to be no doubt that
the United States was selected to make
answer before the world in advance of
all others. Whether the entente ma
lions will send extensive replies is not
Known here. 1t is regarded as prob
,ble that they will in large measure
adopt the presidents reasoning for
heir own and send notes of endorse
nent.
The general tenor of the presidents
eply had been anticipated every
where, but there was no inkling of the
orceful terms he would employ to say
hat the world can have no faith in
he autocratic government of Germany.
Students of diplomacy see in his de-
unciation of the military autocracy
fresh appeal to the war-ridden Ger

Chicago, August 2S.-William J. Bry-

peoples support of the government in
the war is almost unanimous.
"The reason why different i'm
preston may be gained" the Nebras-

publish the exception rather than the
rule. For instance, dispatch may
report an unpatriotic utterance by a
man in some town, but nothing is

otic.

1920 IS WHEAT
PRICE AGREED ON
AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF ARGU-
MENT BY COMMITTEE A
SETTLEMENT REACHED
S CENT LOAF AGAIN POSSIBLE
Chicago Is Named as Delivery Point
for Grain-When Committee Be-
gan Voting Opinions Varied
From $1.84 to $3.50.

Washington, August 31.-A price O
1920 bushel was fixed for the 1911
crop of wheat by President Wilson OF
the recommendation of the whea
price committee headed by DIR. III. A
Garfield. The basis will be No. !
northern spring wheat delivered at Chi
cago.
The committee finally agreed late
yesterday afternoon after several days
of voting. At one time it looked as /;
it would be unable to come to con,
clusion, but just before o'clock a
compromise was reached and the last
vote was unanimous.
Representatives of the producers be-
gan by voting for a price of $3.50
and labor'S representatives for S1.S4.
The two extremes eventually narrowed
down until the votes were only few
cents apart and most of yesterdays
voting showed only slight difference.
Both factions appeared uncOmpromis-
ing at the start.
On the basis of 1920 at Chicago the
food administration worked out diff
ferentials for the various grades and
classes and for the several terminals.
The price fixed is 20 cents higher
than that named for the 1918 crop by
congress in the food control bill. The
50 price set by congress was taken
into consideration by the committee
in considering a fair valuation of this
years crop.
In a statement accompanying the
announcement of the price President
Wilson declares it is the hope of the
food administration, and his as well,
that the fixing of price will stabilize
the market and keep prices within
moderate bounds for all transactions
during the current year.
The price of flour and bread, too |
the president declares, will be kept |
down.
The committee in it's report to the |
president gave as it's three chief con-
siderations that entered into it's de-
liberations the following:
The fact that the United States is |
at war;.
The need of encouraging the pro-
Queer. The necessity of reducing the
cost of living to the consumer.
All members agreed in their discus
sions that the price fixed will permit
of a 14-ounce loaf of bread for five
cents, allowing fair profit both to
the flour manufacturer and the baker.
The price differentials worked out
by the food administration are: No. 1

Would it not put joy into the heart
of any farmer to thresh 400la bushels
of wheat from eight acres and thirteen
rods of land? That is what was done
this week on the George Hurteau farm
in Watson, yield Of fifty bushels per
acre--to be exact, 1914 plus. 1t was
the new Red Rock wheat, superior
grain in every way, and was expected
to yield heavily, but no farmer who
saw the grain growing guessed that it
would yield fifty bushels. The field
was an exceptional one, it is true, but
what it did in this field it will do in
others If similarly treated. Edward
Wynne, a neighbor of Hurteau, had
twenty acres of Red Rock and his
average yield was 33 3-5 bushels.
Other wheat yielded Wynne less than
twenty bushels. Oscar Reuhle had a
fine field of wheat of other variety
standing just acrbss the road fro
Wynne's Red Rock but it yielded only
25 bushels to the acre. Hurteau,
Wynne and Claude Wilcox together
had forty acres of Red Rock wheat
which averaged 1914 bushels per

A GOOD SUGGESTION

One of our readers suggests that
after the war is over, the legend
shade in Germany" when placed on
articles, should have the prefix, BE
ware" or Protect Yourself" as a
warning. 1t is very certain that the
rest of the world, after the war, will
maintain virtual boycott of, German
products which are not urgently
needed. Germany will come out of
the war with little or no market for
her goods, and no ships to carry them
anyway. England really deserves to
some extent the punishment she is
getting, for she listened to the Ger
man Establishments for many years
before the war and allowed the Ger
mans to flood her market with Ger
man goods. She had adopted the
policy of free-trade and she courted
ruin rather than change her policies
and adopt any protection measures.
The Germans played the same game
in this country. They convinced our
statesmen at Washington that Ger
many could make dyes, medicines,
chemicals, fertilizers, optical glasses,
scientific instruments and scores of
other technical products much better
and cheaper than we could. In that
way GerHdn monopoly Ol tneSe eS-
sentials was built up, and we and the
rest of the world remained blissfully
ignorant of how our strength was be-
ing undermined. We let Germany
build up her industries, largely at our
expense, whereas our policy should
have been to develop our own re-
sources and make ourselves independ-
ent of both her and other countries.
After the war there will be a. totally
new alignment of the nations, based
on a full knowledge of Germany's un-
derhand methods and intrigues. New
er again can she duplicate her past
performances, for the world is onto
her. Her people will become hewers
of wood and drawers of water for the
rest of humanity, but will assuredly
not be the masters.
