OPENING A CLOSED TRADE.

Gernany's colonial possessions in Africa, in
Asia and in the Pacific have practically all Of
them been taken over by the allies. Here is
territory equal to one-third Of that Of the Unit
ed States. In the year before the war the trade
Of this territory, both exports and Imports ag-
gregated above ninety million dollars, but it
was closed trade Germany was able to keep
away competition, except as she chose to allow
it; she was able to exploit the resources Of
these colonies exclusively to her own advantage
and in many ways this tended to withhold
rather than advance possible trade. There can
be no doubt of the high regard Germany had
for these colonies; they represented to her
great possibilities in her campaign for DONNA
ton both in trade and in the creation of a
world state
Germany views with alarm the loss of these
colonies and with almost equal disquietude
would view retaining them only on condition of
an open trade. For it is altogether probable
that the ninety million dollars which repre-
sented the trade in 1913 is but fraction of
what that trade can be made by liberal policy.
The natural resources of the South African
colonies are immense. Bringing them into
close transport relation with the adjacent DOS
sessions of other powers would be a great fac
tor in rapidly developing them.
The war period has caused the lowly potato
to come into its own. His worth makes it DOS
sible to speak of him by his popular English
Iappelation, even in refined society, instead Of
Icharacterizing him as ponme de terre
There is no twilight zone between patriotic
loyalty and treason. He who is not for this
country in the present conflict is against it.
There is no middle ground.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Democrat: The pinnacle
of righteous Indignation is reached
by the newspaper in Germany which
rallssat the United States because it
is publishing documents "of which it
obtained possession by God knows
what underground methods" Its
naive assertion that "such matters
are, of course, not for publication"
shows that some editors are strange
ly lacking in a sense of humor.
Cedar Rapids Republican: 1t ap-
pears that the Americans are not
the only ones who do not want to
take Germany's official promises as
more than scraps Of paper The
Polanders refused to enlist on Ger
many's terms and from Copenhagen
comes the news that they SO refused
because they would not and could
not accept any of the German prom
Uses as worth tinker's oath.

The possessive case, first person
nominative is being rapidly expur-
gated from the royal grammars. Next

Des Moines Register: AS one result
of the changed conditions in Peoria,
that town can't have a BASEBALL team
winning fame under the title of the
Distillers.
Sioux City Journal: The problem of
saving a ton Of coal a family this
winter would be made measurably
easier If DIR. Garfield would also drop
word where 1t would do the most
good in the matter of regulating the
weather.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: How much
crop damage has been done by re-
cent rains and low temperatures may
not be easily estimated with any
reasonable degree of accuracy. Nor
Is human foresight equal to the task
of determining whether in the gen
eral scheme of nature a crop loss is
eventually a real loss. There are
lean years" as well as fat years, and
there must be a creative purpose In
it. What people do not know about
