THE WAR MAP

Last April British troops reached Lens and stopped. They
are now in front of Cambria under similar conditions. The
Germans still stand within gunshot of Rheims and Verdun. On
the Belgian coast an insignificant gain by Germany is the only
change in three years. The Germans have lost the initiative
line.
British forces have gained important positions in Palestine
and Mesopotamia, but the collapse of Russia and the German
drive into Italy outweigh in military value the successes of our
allies elsewhere. The war map is still in Germany's favor
Her submarine campaign has failed to starve England and win
the war, but is still formidable.
America will play a great part in the struggle which now
seems sure to last another year or more. Nothing but a crush
ing defeat on the western front and retirement behind the
Rhine would force Germany to sue for peace within the next
six months. If she makes peace with the BOlsheviki govern
ment and reOrganizes the railroad service of European Russia
her food problems will be solved. We cannot close our ewes to
the magnitude of the task before us, and it is folly to under
rate our foe, who is undoubtedly growing weaker, but who still
enjoys the advantage of centralized control and an interior DO
siton of great Observation-Disclosures.

BULLYING THE sCANDINAvIANS

What a heritage of hate Germany is laying up for herself!
She threatens to invade Denmark and seize one or more naval
bases, if Norway declares war after German submarines have
sunk more than four hundred of her ships and murdered a
hundred or more of her sailors, including several recently shot
to death in lifeboats. Norway has even greater cause for war
than we had, but is asked to submit to German tyranny to save
Denmark from the fate of Belgium.
The three Scandinavian neutrals could not help our allies
much by entering the war and no attempt is being made to
draw them into it. Germany is losing her influence over
Sweden now that Russia has become impotent, and the DOGGY
of Muscovite aggression no longer keeps the Swedes from
sleeping. Germany therefore DULLES defenseless Denmark in
order to keep her Scandinavian neighbors quiet, now that Rus
STA is no longer a menace.
If there is such a thing as international justice, one of the
terms of peace will be the restoration of her lost provinces to
Denmark along with Alsace-Lorraine to France. German
newspapers say the United States is fighting to win these prov
inces for France so that Germany's potash monopoly may be
broken by the operation of the rich potash mines west of the
Rhine once more in French hands.
So be it, if Germany puts it that way. Germany would
not be able to trade on her monopoly of cheap potash salts, if
the world could secure supplies from France. Germany de-
serves no consideration when she tries to win the war by op-
pressing neutral %neighbOrs. She cannot prepare for another
such war as this if she loses the coal and iron of the French
provinces, and her power to exact trade concession through her
potash monopoly will also be broken when the eastern frontier
Of France once more becomes the Rhine. This threat to invade
Denmark without excuse is another reason for the destruction
Of Prussian autocracy-New York Commercial.

NOW IT is SUGAR

Sugar has become scarce because too much has been eX-
ported to France and American housewives have consumed I'M
usual quantities in preserving fruits and vegetables. The can
ming factories have also packed enormous quantities OF fruits
and vegetables and the wine-makers have bought sugar to give
body to their products, a good market for which is assured by
the high tax on distilled spirits. Government officials warn
the public that the shortage of sugar will not be relieved until
the sugar beet crop has passed through the factories and new
sugar comes on the market in Louisiana, the West Indies and
other countries that raise sugar cane. For three successive
wears Europe has forestaled the American sugar market and
This wear the domestic shortage is more acute than ever.
1t is irritating to find the government officials who urged
American women to preserve all the fruits and vegetables they
could afford now blaming them for buying too much sugar.
The average home kitchen is not equipped with apparatus for
canning fruits and vegetables by some vacuum steriizng pro
cess and when a woman tries to do so the product is almost al
ways unsavory and finds its way into the garbage can. The
women know this better than the government experts and have
used sugar as usual. If they have bought it more freely, they
did so because the papers were full of warnings from Wash
ingtOn to preserve all that they could.
probable results that will follow taking their advice, as in the
case of sugar, they should keep quiet. So far they have done
more harm than good and the prices of necessaries of life have
advanced in the face of larger crops. Before Christmas the
consumption of sugar by candy makers and bakers is always
heavy and the problem of distributing enough sugar will be
experts talk about milk the higher goes the price, and the same
thing threatens those who use sugar. The public is losing
faith in food control-New York Commercial.

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY

Demagogues and professional office seekers are trying to
ride into office on the backs of the farmers and wOrkmen of
the country. In New York state they are telling the farmers
that the "money-bund"i is getting all the cash while they do the
work. These demagogues ask the farmers to destroy instead
of construct. They advocate laws that will iniure business, in
stead of policies that will improve conditions.
Our farmers should be prosperous when business is good.
They cannot be prosperous when business is bad. If they are
not getting their fair share of the prevailing prosperity they
should seek ways to secure their just due without lessening
the volume of trade out of which they must make their profits.
By improving the system of marketing and distributing their
produce they can secure a larger share Of what the ultimate
consumers pay, but they will lose even that which they have if
they check the flow of commercial transactions.
Farmers cannot gain anything by injuring business in the
big cities. They can gain by cooperating to get a larger share
of that business. If they can devise plans for lowering the
cost of marketing and distributing produce, they will sell more
produce and make more money through the increase in con
sumption induced by better methods and lower prices to the
ultimate consumer. Like all other classes of legitimate bust
ness, farming gains by increasing sales and consumption.
Revenge may be sweet, but it never pays dividends. Sam
son of old revenged himself on the Phiistines when he pulled
down the temple. but he died with them. That is how it US
uany works.-New York Commercial.
