General Mauue, who Btrafed the

dismayed to learn that the hero was
practically unknown to the British
public. He was a colonel when the
war broke out, and received his COM
mand In Mesopotamia only last sum
mer.
Hailed as Hero.
Nothing was too good for him after
he threw the Turks out Of Kut and
Bagdad, however, and he was hailed
throughout the British empire as the
man who put British prestige back
where 1t used to be.
General Maude had been q fighting
man since 1884, when he Joined the
army. The following year he fought
in the eastern Soudan and he won his
D. S. o. in the Boer war while serving
with the Coldstream Guards. From
1901 to 1904 he was military secre-
tary to the governor general OF Can
ada
Fought In Flanders.
He fought in Flanders early IN the
war, in General Pultney's third army,
and he went to Gallipoli in May, 1915.
When the Dardanelles campaign was
abandoned he took his Thirteenth d.
vision to Egypt and from there he
succeeded to the command of the
Mesopotamian campaign

TREATMENT OF SUSPICIOUS

WE DO not doubt that the people OF
w Sweden are themselves friendly to
democracy and are disposed TO favor the
cause of this nation against Kaiserism
But it is established that the Government
OF Sweden has been lending aid and COM
fort to the enemy. The privilege Of COM
muncaton has been prostituted by the
Swedish Government 10 assist Germany
ir her piratical sinking of merchant ships.
The Government OF Sweden has been
made the vehicle of German intrigue.
Before we can undertake to feed the
people OF Sweden and provide them with
the means to live we must, therefore, re-
ceive guarantees that confidence in the
Swedish Government is safe for democ-
racy. The Swedes, in other words, must
prove that they control their Government

be occupied with the Demo-lndependent

influential newspaper supporting that cause.
the candidates of the Single Tax party

FORMER JUDGE APPEALS FOR
JUDGES

TO The Editor Of the EUeuing Ledger
Sir--In what | shall say herein ! imply
no adverse criticism Of any gentleman Oh
the bar who may aspire to judicial oihce
| am solCitOus in the coming election OF
hut one thing. namely, that Judges who have
well performed the duties Of the judicial
Office should not be deposed at ALL, and
especially that they should not fail OF cleo
tion through accident due to the compile
Gated ballot required by existing law. To
this proposition every thoughtful lawyer
and citizen, it is believed will agree.
At recent elections had under the present
form of ballot it has happened that the cam
didates whose names have been given pre-
eminence by being at the top or at the
bottom of the ballot tby reason Of the re-
quired alphabetical order) have had an
increased vote In some cases the interme-
date names have suffered serious loss At
the coming election this may happen again.
TO the injury Cf present acting Judges.
For example, the name OF Judge Nc
Michael, President Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas No, g. will probably be
below or about the middle of the list of can
didates on the ballot Haste or thoughtless-
ness in voting might lead to a loss of sub
stantal number of votes. This result would
be a catastrophe He has we'll performed
the duties ct Il Judge for twenty years The
same condition may happen in other lists of
judicial candidates. There is no provision
made that present incumbents shall he
indicated on the ballot. 1t would seem
to me that your newspaper might well COM
ment on this condition OF things so that
no mistakes shall be innocently made at the
primary election on Wednesday. 1t will be
remembered that the primary vote may
be the equivalent of an election. since a
candidate at the primary who receives more
than 80 per cent of the entire vote cast
for the highest candidate will have to meet
no opponent at the general election in No

THE MYSTERIES OF BREAD

DREAD is cheaper in London than it
- is here. Mr.. Irwin, grain controller
of this port expects to see fourteen
ounce loaf sell for nickel before long.
But right now u pound loaf sells In Lon.
don for four and half cents. Il am
convinced that this cheap bread sold in
London is not--cannot be--of quality
that would be acceptable TO our people
here. II is usually very dark i'm color
and altogether coarse and unattactive"
says Mr.. Irwin.
But the question need not depend upon
any ones personal beliefs or convictions.
The English bread can be analyzed and
its exact nutritive value determined.
There need be no mystery about it. We
do not want to fare better or worse than
our allies. English people and Ameri.
cans must combine against the profiteers
OF both nations. We must have every
fact we can get from the English to show
up our own profiteers. Americans who
mean to win this war at any cost will
prefer 10 eat dark and unattractive bread
TO being gouged.
