President Wilson, if possible, is
easier on the trusts and illegal COM

smiling, good-natured President
Taft, and the trusts and illegal COM
binations are taking every advantage
of the situation.

The democrats used to say that
the tariff is the mother of trusts.
Well, no matter about that, the fact
remains that the trusts were never

present moment.

If Germany really wants peace let
her say so in a manner thai indicates
sincerity. If she would say that she
is willing to get out of conquered
territory, the allies would listen.
But no Englishman or Frenchman or
Russian with spark of manhood
left will listen to peace that con-
templates subjugation of the smaller
allies. 1t would be far preferable
for France, Great Britain and Rus
STA to suffer humiliating and
crushing defeat than to desert the
little nations that have stood by
them in this war. The late king OF
Greece repudiated his pledges to Ser
bia and got just what was coming to
him, and the leaders of the allied
countries ought to get the same sort
|of dose should they desert their
friends now. Germany knows they
will not do it, hence the Germans
are talking glibly of peace that
they know means nothing. They are
trying to impress upon their own
people that Germany must fight fol
her very existence.

1t appears to the Freeman-Tribune
that the German press of the United
States, considered from the view
point of loyalty, stands about fifty
fifty, half of them being traitors to
the country Of their adoption. This
fact is a matter for sincere regret
to every loyal American citizen, nat
uralized and native. Loyal Ameri-
cans of German birth ought to show
by their conduct that they disap-
prove of the course of the disloyal
German press.

Can the autoist stop his car, look
up and down the track, and listen
for train before ossing?-Hum-
boldt Republican. ,
Yes, he can if he wants to, and
often it would be very wise thing
to do. OF course it would require
thirty seconds lime. and the average
autoist hasn't, the time to spare. He
should, however, be absolutely GER
tain that no train was approaching
before he undertook to cross the
tracks, and if it is necessary to stop
to establish that fact, stop he should.

private, figured from his ability to
make o living, is the greater of the
two. The general ought to be able
to make livelihood without man
ual labor, and it is the rule that he
dues. Hence, so far as the money
consideration is concerned, he is not
affected so greatly by the loss of
leg as the less capable private is
by similar loss. Yet the govern
ment pays the general much higher
pension for the same disability. This
is not democratic and the law should
be changed.

Maastricht, Netherlands, Jan. 20
A boatload of over 100 Bclgians re-
Gently ran the German gauntlet on the
River Meusc, and after an exciting
night trip to the accompaniment of
machine gun fire, landed on Dutch
soil at Eysdem which town the fugi-
tives entered in body singing The

Tug Atlas V lay moored at Liege.
and the embarkment of Its passengers
lasted from $50 to II o'clock in the
evening, the Belgians making their
way aboard singly so as to avoid
arousing suspicion. Ii was then full,
with l0l Belgians, Russian,
Frenchman and woman with two
children, 5 and 10 years of age respec-
lively. At midnight the moorings
were cast off, and, the boat having
first been allowed to drift quietly out
into the stream, full steam ahead was
soon ordered and it flew along the
river in the darkness.

Dutch Bulb Growers Report
Good Business in Spite Of War

Correspondence or The Associated frcss)
HARLEM, Netherlands, ian. 2S.-I
Notwithstanding the prohibition OF
bulb importatons to the British Isles,
the Association of Dutch Bulb Grow
crs reported at its annual meeting that
the year 1910 had been generally more
favorable than either 1915 or 1914.
The total export Of bulbs in Aug
ust, September and October showed
a decrease OF 100000 Kilograms as
compared with the corresponding
period of the previous year, but when
ii is remembered that Britain took
nearly 100000 Kilograms in 1915, il
will be seen that the loss OF the Brit
ish market in the last year was large
ly compensated for by increased ex-
port to other countries. Higher
prices were obtained than at any
time since the war began,
OF the 100000 Kilograms exported
in the three months named, America
took 100000, or nearly half; Ger
many, 100000, and the Scandinavian
countries 100000 Kilograms. The ex-
port to America and the Scandinavian
countries underwent a very consid-
cradle increase, as was the case the
previous year, whereas the export to
Germany, which closed its frontiers to
all other flower garden products, re-
manned stationary.
