fanciful that it is hard to understand
how they ever had birth in the mind of

dents de lion, because the serrations of
the leaves were supposed to resemble
the teeth Of the king of basis.

possible eRdibg--nabional disaster,
is not national death.
War is horrible. We shrink from
it and wish from the bottom of our
hearts that it could be baished from
the earth forever more. Yet in this
war the heroes who die for us on the
fields of France will confer a great
er blessing upon their country than
merely preserving its honor, as the
world sees honor. They will have
saved Us from national moral decay
and death. For the domestic revo-
luton, without which our part in the
conflict can not be carried out, is
the upheaval that was needed to
take our feet out of the road to
death and set them on the road to
a broader and saner life.

SAVING A NATION

1t is the history of all nations
since history was written that
there comes crises in the national
life of all peoples when prompt ac-
ton is imperative if destruction be
averted. Some peoples have taken
such action and lived, while others
have slumbered and died.
Grave as the consequences of our
present struggle are apt to be, the
American people, it can be seen
more clearly as time passes, are be-
ing saved by it from an even greater
danger which threatened them-the
danger of over-prosperity and over
indulgence.
Even now, since we have entered
upon the task of mobilizing Ameri-
can resources, the mind staggers at
the colossal values aggregated.
Where a few years ago we whisper
ed in awe of millions, now we speak

From talking in thousands to living
in thousands is an easy step. The
same is true of millions. As our
operations increased and our ma

ideas enlarged apace, until when
we woke up last April to find our
selves the probable deciding factor
in the greatest war of all history,
we discovered ourselves living at a

WHY ARE WE FieHTING2

The answer to this question is
contained in the governments red,

The text of the book-or paper
has been published in all of the daily

able argument in favor of war to
the hilt. Read it-study it-analyze

less than one-third of the supply at

WHEAT PRICES HIGHER
IN u. S. THAN EUROPE

Wheat prices abroad where the
Governments have control of food
supplies are shown to be much lower
than in the United States by a report
made to the food administration by
the Allied Wheat Commission.
While wheat is selling well above
$500 in this country, the Govern
ment prices in other countries, ac-
cording to the Allied Commission,
are as follows:
United Kingdom and France,
$1.S0; Germany, $1.S0; Belgium,
$1.6O; Australia, $1.14; India,
$1.35; Italy, SLIGO to $1.94
The wheat shortage has forced
the Allies to require the use of 20
per cent. corn, rye or barley in the
manufacture of -four, and most of
the countries permit use of a larger
percentage of the whole cereal.
1t has been found impossible to
introduce corn bread in Europe, be-
cause of lack of corn mills and be-
cause baking is done largely in pub
lie bakeries. Consumption of flour
has been decreased in every possible
way.
Americas wheat stocks are lower
