THE GERM SOLDIER.

Stanley Washburn, the war cores
pondent who is ut the present time
serving on the staff of the American
Commissioner to Russia, headed by
Elihu Root. analyses the attitude OF
mind of the German soldier and his
idea of what he is fighting for i'll a
communication to the National Geo
graphic society. Mr.. Washburn d.
reefs attention to the fact that in
the early nineties the Kaiser sounded
the KEYNOTE of his own character and
point of view in speech he made to
regiment in Northern Germany
when he said to them: Il would
rather see my 45.OOO,0OO Prussians
dead on the field of battle than see
one foot of soil taken in 1870 given
back to France"
And several years later, in adj
derssing body of recruits in Pots

mas in 1914, it had doubled IN the
retail price, and before Christmas
1915. It had about quadrupled. AS
an article OF army rations it was IN
the same damand as wheat and bacon
with a relatively much smaller sup
plv in the American stocks.
The Baltimore American says beans
have been scarce, but there IS good
news from the Rocky Mountain
region and from all the slopes and
valleys between the Mississippi
River and the Pacific Ocean. We DO
not think Of Colorado as one OF the
great agricultural states. We think
Of Colorado as producing gold. some
silver. much coal more iron than she
can market and. above all else. Pixies

planted $4,000 acres OF beans ana
every acre is expected to produce at
least 1000 pounds Of beans. One
Colorado farm Of 1000 acres is plant
ed with nothing but beans. From
Denver comes the statement that !:
all the bean rows in Colorado were
strung in one line they would %lrdIe

1t is JOY for the bean eaters, isn't
Il? But liSten-Nebraska Will grow
more beans this year than Colorado!
About twice the bean tonnage! Ne

This wear about twenty five times as
large as that Of last year. But let no
bean farmer in the East be discour-
aged. There is going to be a strong
market for beans. nevertheless and

ONLY two died by the act Of the
Serbian assassin who compassed the
death Of Archduke Ferdinand. heir
to the Austrian throne, and his con-
sort at Sarajevo, Bosnia. Out from
, that act of blood emanated the entire
course of events that finds the world
in a welter of blood. Hence, the date
must stand out in the red letters OF
carnage as one of the bloodiest in
the history of the human race.
There was nothing in the act ot
the desperate youth that necessltated
ianv such sequence of events out oil
the normal order of justice. But, IN
fortunately, it fitted in at the very
point of the plans of powers that han
;been preparing for war for decades
Tho event was not deliberately
seized upon, perhaps. But 1t was
pointed to doggedly by Germany ana
Austria as war cause and the great
refusal of the Kaiser to follow the
course of Cancellation made war IN
ovitab]e. Nor is it necessary to say
that at the time the Kaiser wanted
war He did not avoid it and later
welcomed it.
Hence, the June 70 Wnich set IL

TURNING THE SCREWS
hlnl.

Norway is reported to: be on the
verge of joining the allies. Sweden
and Holland are little more direct
" exposed to German wrath, but the
main reason for their present amblgu-
Gus position is that they are making
a pile of money by selling food to
Germany.
Neither produces enough food Tor
its own population; it must import;
there is not much to be had else
where than in the United States, and
we have scant supply for ourselves
and our allies. AS contemporary OBJ
serves, we have the opportunity, then,
of putting the screws on the neutral
nations. In view of the fact that theii
own vital interests are on the side
of the allies, it would be no injustice
to them to put on the screws.
These nations have to get food from
the limited States. Some of them nave
already shown considerable appre'
hension lest their supplies should be
shut off. They must be shut off unless
these nations are willing at least te
stop trading with Germany.
Of course, we cannot allow any sup
] ,,l;os IN q, TO countries that might
re-eyport them to Germany. Sweae!
is doing this business on an extensive
scale. Holland has done it, but claims
to have ceased the practice But thi'
Is not enough. There is. no reason
whv we should sell supplies to coun
inv that sells its own produce TO Ih'
enemy.
We have now an Export Councl
which can shut off supplies from any
Country at discretion. by all means
all supplies should be shut or IRON
every country that trades with t''
| enemy. This is war for civ'l'%a''on
and the time has passed wheh 'ne''
was any room for neutrals.

OUR TROOPS IN FRANCE

The thrilling news came yesterday
that two contingents of our troops
had landed in France. The fact that
the two announcements were almost
simultaneous shows that one contin-
gent followed closely upon the DINER
The object Of suppresslng lniorma-
ton regarding the departure OF troops
is to prevent the. waSiaying OF INC
transports BY submarines. Hence! 1t
is reasonable to suppose that the
landing has been completed for 'he
present 1t is not likely that the Gov
eminent would announce the arrival
of the first transport OF two when a
long line of transports was TO follow.
The probability is that the two
rontinpents sailed at about the same
time, but for differents ports, and
that the whole of the first division
with the marine regiment and other
auxiliaries. is now in France. The
Philadelphia Record calls attention
to the fact that it is not three months
since Congress recognized the staSe
of war which Germany had created,
and we may we'll be not only proud
hut astonished, at the CELEBRITY win
which the Government has acted.
The entire success with which secrecy
has been preserved reflects credit
upon the, efficiency of the Government
and the patriotic discretion Of the
American newspapers, for it is I'M
oossible that the embarkatinn should
have occurred without the knowledge
of great many persons at the ports
from which the transports sailed.
We are paying the debt we nave
owed France ever since the NeVo!u-

4 Word to Consumers.

Editor of The Gazette:
Tn the report Of the coal commits
sion now in session one point IN par
ticular was emphasized. that OF the
consumer being in large measure
responsible for the high prices e%-
istinp at this time. Their demand
for coal to he delivered at once re-
pardless of existing conditions GI-
minishes the supply and forces up
the prices with the inevitable result
of the consumer paying the price,
There is and will be plenty of coal
and all in due time for use before the
cold weather; but little patience
is necessary as scarcity IN labor
and also of cars has made shipments
slower than at ordinary times.
This same rule applies to other COM
mo,lites as well as coal. The con-
sumner in his impatience to secure
products as soon as there is hint
of scarcity forces up the price; and
then fails to realize that he is the
cause of the advance.
