Notes Are Not Necessary

'If it is intended by the Presi-
dent that the German military
power is to surrender, this can be
accomplished, and, in fact, can only
be accomplished, without notes, ne
gotiations or diplomatic confer
ences. There is only one way it
can be brought about, and that is
the shortest and simplest, flag of
truce through General Foch. If
this is not intended, then the Pres
jdent's endless series of exchanges
Of notes and negotiations is the
proper course to pursue, but it
means the failure of the war from
our standpoint.
1.-The German military power,
however, has no purpose of sur
rendering or Of laying down it's
arms. The word surrender is not
mentioned in the German note. The
German army is unconquercd. The
German Chancellor, speaking in the
Reichstag yesterday, expressly SAID
that If peace by negotiation could
not be obtained the Germans were
prepared to concentrate their mill
tary forces and fight the war to the
bitter end. Here is the most con-
elusive proof that no Allied victory
can be obtained by negotiation at
the present time. But the most
alarming and humil;ating circum-
stance is that surrender of the Ger
man military forces is not required
by the Presidents terms"

"As ! see it, he has predicated
his action upon conditions that do,

did not see fit to answer it in un-
equivocal terms that we demand the
unconditional surrender of the Ger
man armies in the field"
Senator Poindexter said:
The vital and essential part Of
the note is the last paragraph. In
this the President says that in ar
ranging an armistice the Allies
must negotiate with real represen-
tatives of the German people, and
that if this is not done uncondition-
al surrender will be required. AS
! understand it, this is equivalent
to saying that if the President is
satisfied that he is negotiating with
the German people themselves he
will proceed to use his Offices to
bring about an armisticc. which. of
course, means the end of the. war
without requiring unconditional
surrender.

To Keep Chinch Bugs Out Of Corn.
Now that the wheat is cut and the
ehineh bugs are moving into the corn
field, q coal oil emulsion should be
sprayed on the rows Of corn already
infested and q dust barrier thrown up
between the fields TO prevent more of
the bugs from moving into the corn.
A deep ditch, or two parallel bitches
3 to 5 feet apart can be made with a
pillow and worked into a good barrier
by dragging a log back and forth A
mulch Of dust is produced which
should be stirred from time 70 time
during the heat Of the day when the
bugs are most active. The bugs will
be killed by covering them with the
dust.
In case Of wet weather, a dust bar
rier is useless and Leonard Haseman,
Of the University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture suggests that the farm
er provide, if possible Of gas tar,
coal tar, heavy road oil, or some simi.
lar repelling chemical. Heavy road
oilseems to be as good as any. and
some people even use crude earbole
acid. If q chemical barrier Of this
type is to be used, a path should be
smoothed off with a hoe and sprink-
ded with the chemical solution. For
the first few days the solution may
have to be applied several times, or at
least often enough to prevent any Of
the bugs from crossing.
