ers. alter there were reports of the brob-
able issue of new memorandum at Wash
ington declaring that arming both fore and
aft does not necessarily convert vessels into
war craft. Word of government selling at
Winnipeg was received soon after wheat
bulls had been staggered by the Washington
advices. The worst weakness Of the session
followed and before the selling stampede
was checked the May option had dropped

standing big decrease in the United States

Corn weakened with wheat, after being
swsyed early by the transient strength of
that cereal There were some indications of
a good export demand for corn. Oats fol-
lowed the changes in other grain. Ship

Provisions failed to hold an advance that

packers paid a full b@t . upturn on the

Al noted above. light plain mixed and
pndo.weight kinds were extremely uneven.
Some Of the lights. especially the better
kines. on which shippers would compete,
showed the full strength Of the market,
being in many cases a dime. and In extreme
instances f5c higher. Others, however.
were Disseminated against all day, and at
n late hour there were everal loads still
in first hands, some Of which had never
even attracted an offer. while others were
wanted At prices that were at the best no
more than steady.
The bulk OF the offerings sold at figures
that were a big 6G10c higher, a good many
traders quoting the market fat dime up.
Most OF the sales landed at s1i00@ 40,
though there was the usual scattering OF

powers would spell the greatest men, race that has yet confronted us. Our present relations with Japan, as re- vealed last week in matters of pro- posed legislation on the Pacific coast, are not assuring. Japan will not be permanently modified by the tempor- ary abandonment of our policy of ex- clusion, for which the sentiment in the west is Sd strong. If we employ our navy in the Atlantic, and if, in the course of hostllities, we should lose some of our ships by mines or torpedoes. we might be powerless to defend the Pacific against Japan alone.
 The time to debate these questions is now.
 We are not yet at war with Ger many. When we are, it will behoove every American to stand Loyalty by the country and not to find fault or heckle those in positions to direct our military and political affairs, or even to raise questions of doubt. Once in, we must fight our way through with faith in our hearts. Therefore, the time to consider is now.-Fatherland

make a reputation. Another pecu- liarity of the Overseas news is that whle the submarines always ascer- tain the exact tonnage of the ships sent down they overlook the names of the vessels. Thhep lain truth is that so far the U-boats have failed in their task of sinking shipping at the rate of million tons a month. They are so far behind that they are in danger of falling far short of the records of recent months, always be- low the half-million marl.-Times- Star.

YET TIME TO CONSIDER.

There is no sentiment for war so marked that it is irresistible, and while diplomatic relations with Ger many have been severed, there is yet time to avoid what would make war Q certainty. The American people in- stinctive1y feel that in taking part in the European conflict nobody in the end would benefit but England and Wall street, and neither England nor Wall street appeals either to the sympathy or the patriotism of the country.
 Under the circumstances it is doubtful whether President Wilson could have avoided giving forceful expression 10 his prior notice to Ger many that she would be held to strict accountability for the loss of Amer lcan ships or American lives if the U boats campaign shol Id be conduct cd on a scale that translated these dangers into reality.
 Congress having once decided 10 declare war, it will be our duty as, Americans to accept the accomplish ed fact in a spirit of loyalty and de- votton to the government.
 To many of us, var between the United States and Germany will te like the rending ,s feertstrings, and until he final step has been taken we hope that fine outrageous ut;er" ances and admontions for peace which are falling from :n9 lips of Hol. "m. J. Bry&l will be wig ously support ed by IL lovers of peace ihrodghout the country.
 We still hope there is time to avert from the country the tragedy of a conflict for which there is no over whelming demand. Public opinion, in spite of the fact that for thirty months it has been narcotized with the poison of a press campaign finan- ced in France and Englan, is still unconvinced that everything possible has been done to keep us from the last fatal step.
 We have remedies at hand to bring about peaceful settlement of the issue, so far as it affects us. We can l declare an embargo on food supplies.
