SHIPS! SHIPS!
America Must Build Transports,
Says NOrthcIiffe.
Thinks He May Not Live to See
Wars End.

Kansas City, Oct 26.-The dire ne
cessity of a speedy and material in
crease in American shipping as wdA'
measure was enunciated emphatical-
ly by Lord Northciffe, head of the
British war mission and distin-
guished British editor and publisher
in a talk before zoo editors of seven
middle western states at luncheon
given in his honor here Thursday.
Lord Northcliffe gave especial
stress to the distance of the United
States from the fighting front and the
necessity of a large cargo transport
fleet as being vital to the comfort an !
welfare of the American army IN
France. He also declared that the
United States would of necessity be
forced to transplant factories Tor the
manufacture of all war. supplies TO
French soil
Speaking of the ending of the war,
he asserted, that there was a possibility
that he and others of his own age
might not live to witness it. He said
it was his belief that it was only be-
ginning.

trous wars in the future in which Ger
many would not make the mistake of
challenging the world.
THE American press. 1 should say,
is presenting the news of the war in
a wrong manner Lord Northcliffe
said, you are making it appear as if
there was something wrong in Ger
many. What is wrong with Germany
is the kaiser"
He tabooed the Internal difficulties
reported in the United States concern
ing the sentiments expressed in the
reichstag, saying that that body was
to a great extent merely for debate
and could not be taken as a barometer
to the country's internal feelings
While one-third of the people of Ger
many are doubtless sickened of the
war and ready to abandon it, the rul-
ing two-thirds of the population he de-
clared, are firm in their belief that
the war is being prosecuted success
fully and will eliminate in great
German victory.

German Protest Astounding in View

tality'' is the astounding spectacle pre-
scented in Berlin dispatches today.

in the authoritative interview sent by
the United Press staff correspondent
in Berlin. 1t was regarded as a siren

chine to allay apprehension caused by
England's recent announcement of "a
reprisal policy which would demand
an eye for an eye and tooth for

sassinations.
Guilty of Unheard of Atrocities.
Germany was guilty of unheard of
atrocities in Belgium and France
and she strove to cover up" by
charging the allies with similar atroci-
ties. Germany invented poison gas
and brought liquid fire into use from
the Dark Ages-and then sought to
blame the allies for cruelty" in it's
use. Germany's great guns deliber-
ately smashed the Rheims cathedral
architecture-and Germany whined
about allied shells over her lines. Ger
many invented ruthlessne3s on the
seas in her submarine warfare-and
protested bitterly when allied vessels
refused. with knowledge If German
treachery, to rescue U-boat crews.
Germany devised assassination of
and whimpers brutality when, after
three years England reluctantly de-
cides the devil must be fought with
his own weapons.

They believe that December will advance

May spread to one cent yesterday Pur-
chases of No. white oats for November
and part of December shipment are being
made at cents over December. Foreign
governments and the federal government
are picking up enough all around to alb
sorb the bulk of the surplus receipts. A
little more bullishness was observable yes
terday- Attention, however. was called TO
the somewhat enlargement in the country
offerings owing to their absence of late.
Exporters at the seabord said they had
been filling up for the time being. The
country sent many inquiries yesterday re-
garding what disposition should be made
OF soft and damaged corn. Judging from
the excellent demand for pigs reported at
the stockyards to be shipped back into the
country some of the farmers have already
found out what to do. With the food ad-
ministration pledged that Hv. stock pro-
ducers shall receive a profitable price this
