A Yictor's Death.

General Maude's death will drape the
| British colors again. His campaign in
Mesopotama had made one of the
brightest spots in the war 1t had re-
vived the best traditions of brilliant
strategy, and given the world a new pic
ture of pure military spirit dominating
whole army-eyery man in itand
grasping in firm and competent hands
the reins of command. The army in
Mesopotamla would at first seem to be
the weaker without him, for the very
fact that General Maude had impressed
his personality so strongly on every part
of it. But his command has been
training for the men under him, and the
army has already the tradition, the inn
petus, of victory.
1t may have also the inspiration of a
great suspicion in the manner OF his
death. This sudden and fatal illness in
the midst of treacherous Orientals will
have its own Interpretation in the minds
of General Msudes subordinates and
soldiers. They viii be nerved by it to
a new and grim resolution. An enemy,
who, in their view, is capable of resort
ing to the poison cup to remove yicto-
rious opponent, win have short shrift
with them in battle.
The loss OF such commander Is
most serious blow, but it is a safe predic-
tion that il will not diminish the vigor
of the British campaign in Mesopotamia.
The brilliant commanders record will
make page in history fit to stand side
by side with the story of Gordon or
Havelock But the end of Maude's story
will not be the end of that Of the Meso-
potamian army.-Boston Transcript

Official and positive announcement by
Premier Lloyd George that five German
submarines were sunk on Saturday, Nov
II, is the kind of information the en-
tente nations and the United States are
looking for. They want some positive
information even if it is not so satifying
as that which he announced in the House
of Commons Monday. The sinking of
five u-boats in single day reveals prog
ress in defense which accounts in large
part for the great reduction in the sink
ing of merchant vessels.

That the banking system of the Unit
err States is growing stronger is indi-
Gated by the splendid report of the ma
tional banks of the country which shows
that the percentage of losses to deposit
tors has been reduced almost to the van
ishing point in recent years. Moreover,
the growing solidity of the national
banks must mean also that the other
kinds of banks are also gaining in fnan-
cial strength. Taken as a whole, the
banks of the United States are stronger
to-day than they were a few years ago,
despite the fact that they have been
called upon to make some sacrifices of
business by reason of the floating of two
issues of Liberty bonds

WAR ON "WAR BREAD"
National Bakers Oppose Government
Plans of Milling Wheat.

Chicago. May 1S.-''War bread" will
not appear in the United States for
some time if the bread makers have
their way. Bakers attending the con-
vention of the National Association of
Master Bakers here today were almost
unanimous in opposition to the plan
5. f. Mcdonald, of Memphis, president
of the association. declared the bakers
opposition is founded on scientific
grounds.
Three bread samples were submit
ted to delegates as arguments against
the proposed plan of the government
to force ga higher extraction of wheat"
1t was explained that the quality of
the bread decreased in proportion to
the extraction of wheat A II per cent
extraction loaf was the regulation
white flour loaf; a IT per cent loaf
was OF cream yellow color and the 81
per cent war loaf was brown and
heavy.

REPEAL is A CRIME
Carrie Chapman Gait Denounces
Plan for Child Labor.
Suspension Labor Law Would
Be Greatest War Outrage.

New York, May 1S.-Repeal of the
national child labor law so that chill
dren could replace men called to war,
would be as great crime as any
committed during the conflict, Mrs.
Carrie Cha pman Gait. national presi-
dent of the National Woman Suffrage
association, declared today.
There has been no crime com
mitted during the war and there will
be no crime committed greater than
would be the repeal of the national
child labor law" Mrs. Gait said.
1T required a generation of time
and effort to secure it and its repeal
would mean the sacrifice of another
generation-the children whom the
enemies o: that law are lying in wait
to exploit.
After we have passed thru such a
three-year struggle as has destroyed
the manhood of Europe it will be time
enough to talk of crowding the chill
dren into the ranks of labor, made
vacant by the demands of military SER
vice.
Let them be filled by men too old
for war, but able to do any work thai
may be REQUIRED of them. In addition
to these men is the great reserve
force of women waiting to be called
on. Not until the last one of these
two classes has been utilized let en-
ployers of labor dare lay hands on
the children of the nation.

The owners and operators of forty
wireless telegraph stations in Topeka

STOCK FARM PONDS
WITH FOOD FISH
SAYS REDFIELD

Washington. May 1S.-"Why should
not a farmer raise fish as well as
chickens?" asks Secretary of Com.
merce Redfield, in a statement urging
farmers in every section of the United
States to set aside a part of the farm
for q pond.
'-Given proper fresh water supply
and a reasonable space for a pond
and this does not necessarily mean q
very large space-fish are easy to
raise, and an astonishing quantity may
be had in two or three years." he says.
The 'fingerlings' of the bass and
sunfish families that are distributed
to these ponds will attain a half
pound in a year, and the second year
will be spawning and of greater size.
1t is not a lengthy or expensive process
to stock a pond with fish, and the re-
suits are well worth the effort"

SPAIN is WARMER
Extraordinary Meeting of Cabinet Fol-
lowing Sinking of Ship.

Madrid, May 1S.-An extraordinary
meeting of the cabiner was called yes
terday evening Immediately upon re-
ceipt of news of the sinking of the
Spanish steamer Patricio, of $500
tons. The accounts stated that the
crew was saved but that one sailor was
seriously injured. The government au-
thorities were extremely reserved as
to the result of their two hour deliber-
alton but it is supposed that the cabi-
net decided to send another note of
the most energetic character to Ger
many.
A violent clash between Franco
phfles and German-cphiles occurred
last evening as the result of arguments
over the Spanish note to Germany and
Germany's reply concerning the sink
ing of the Spanish steamer San Lean
Dire. Several hundred persons took
part in the first fighting. Some used
canes during the encounter

FIX BREAD PRICE
Bakers in Favor of Govt Regu-
lating Size of Loaf.
Wheat at So or Less Would Re-
turn 10-Cent Loaf.

Chicago, May 18.-Bread prices
must increase 'if the government does
not devise some plan of delivering the
wheat to the miller at a cheaper cost. "
This was the consensus of opinion
today to 200 representatives of the
largest bakeries of every state in the
Union, in conference here.
THE government should set stand
ard Ioaves of one and two pound
sizes The prices should f1uctuate, the
same as the cost of a pound of meat or
sugar" stated E. D. Strain of Battle
Creek, a member of the national exec
utive committee of the National Asso-
citation of Master Bakers.
IF the cost of flour can be reduced
by action of the boards of trades in
stopping future trading, to less than
50 a bushel a pound of bread can be
sold for ! 0 cents. At the present time
bakers are selling bread on the basis
of $40 a barrel for the flour, when in
fact they are paying $14-
''War Bread Not a Success.
THE government must devise some
plan of getting the wheat to the mil
Ter at a more reasonable price"
S. F. Mcdonald, Memphis, Tenn,
president of the organization. in his
opening address stated that war
bread" baked of so-called mixed
flour" has not proven successful.
Bakers organizations" he said,
ARE committed to the proposition
that the wheat flour unauthorized
with admixtures of any kind. is
much more reliable article in com
merce than any mixed flour, and for
that reason the country will do well
to let the present pure food laws
stand.
THE advocates of whole wheat
flour have failed to make a case.
The loaf is inferior to bread made
from patent flour.
Much Bread Wasted.
There is a tremendous waste in
volved in the practice of encoura ging
the dealer to overstock himself with
bread, which is returned to the baker
as stale and much of it is sold as
food for the lower animals. The
government should take a hand in
this wasteful practice, if we do not
ourselves curb it,
Among the other prominent bakers
present were George E. Ward, Brook
Ign, who leads a delegation of sixteen
dealers from the east; Paul Stern.
Milwaukee; Jay Burns, Omaha; J. 3.
Smith, Kansas City and Mark Breed
on of Toronto.
Breedon will advise the conference
of steps taken in Canada in solving
the war time problems in feeding
the people at poor mans prices"
