Paris. May l--lIenry Bdou. writing
in the journal des Debats. discusses the
strategy Of roch in the Flanders battle
as follows:
What is the Allied plan Of defense
as indicated at Npres? Does Foch hope
to re-establish himself on Mount KEN

Allies merely Withdrawing TO a new line
Of defense to await the exhaustion Of
the enemy
"It Is only possible to hold Npres by

fense Whether the price which the
reConquest Of these heights at this time
would cost Is out Of proportion to the
value of the ruined city OF Ypres Is n
question for the Allied leaders to decide.
The retention OF Ypres has no longer
anything to do with the protection Of
the Dunkirll-talais road. There was a
time. i'm November 1914, when We could
not have said the same thing. But since
that time the Allied defense has gained
enormously i'm the north, and its points
Of support at POperinghc. on the User,

enough to stem the German wave. The
Allied line here may bend, but II will not

RESPECT
 THEIR AGREEMENTS

Press reports say, "Teamsters de- cline to strike for Mooney, contracts of unions with employers held to be more than scraps of paper"
 Good for the teamsters. They hue true to the line. They stand for American courts and justice and re- spect their agreements. They distinguish between mob rule and court rule, between right and wrong when it comes to breaking their word.
 The public can appreciate this spirit The teamsters have done more to drag the good name of labor unions back from the mire of Bol- shevism than anything that has hap pened in a long time. Moneys case will be settled in the courts, not by strikes, and the teamsters' union recognizes this.

SUGAR BEET PRODUCTION

The following table of figures in- dicates the extent to which sugar beet production has declined in all the European sugar producting coun-
 During the years 1914-15 there were produced S,466,000 short tons; in 1915-16 there produced 5,699,000 tons; in 1916-17 there were produced 5.424, 900 tons; while in .917-1S only 4,49S,OOO tons were produced.
 Those countries, whi. before the war supplied all the sugar necessary for their own needs and in some cases exported a great deal, will be forced for some time at least to import sugar for their needs. Until their normal sugar production is re-estab- lished, therefore, there will be an appreciable shortage of sugar.
 It would seem that these figures alone are sufficient argument 10 show the necessity of encouraging and protecting the American beet sugar industry not only to supply this nation during the present short age but to put the industry on a sound basis to meet the world com petition to come.

WATER POWER LEGISLATION

One of the most important bills be- fore Congress is that affecting water power development in all the great western states.
 Having no public lands te ehast- ern states hold the academic views that western water powers should be owned by the government.
 This theoretical view would lock up the unlimited supply of white coal until by political action and govern ment appropriations it was released.
 War taxes. war loans, and other great national needs as railroads, merchant marine and naval require ments would delay federal power de velopment in the west indefinitely.
 The same view is to permit de- velopment by private initiative and enterprise with proper public safe guards against burdensome monopoly.
 The west has as great a supply of water power as is needed to operate all the railroads and as many fac tories as are owned by all New Eng land.
 The nation and the world will suffer from a shortage of coal and oil and states and congress should enact legislation that will permit unlimited development of our western hydro electric energies.

have great military machines there without tempting the men at the head of them to try their luck with those machines. The Germans al ways felt there was nothing to re- sist their perfect military machine.
 If you want permanent peace; if you want to prevent the horrors of this war being repeated, you must put an end to conscript armies on the continent of Europe.
 No Future Risk
 The first thing to do is to pre- vent the repetition of blunders of the past by making it impossible to have those great conscript armies in the future
 We did not have the machinery for an offensive war. Our navy is a defensive weapon and not an offen- sive one; and that is why we do not mean to give it up. We have kept these islands ree from invasion for centuries and we mean to take no risk in the future."
 MT. Lloyd George declared that the decision which would be taken in the next few months in the peace confer ence was going to leave a mark upon the world. The ages to come, he said, would be able to reap the fruits of it.
 The premier next dealt with the question of indemnity. He declared the war had cost Germany less than it cost Great Britain. It had cost

Attempting to keep warm by burn ing mesquite wood in a coal stove is a great boon to industry and energy. Having experimented with it we find that it requires the services of one man to stuff wood into the stove. Another to run the ash tram to the dump, with two other huskies cutting more mesquite to keep the first two busy. Three more men should be putting in full shift to earn money enough to buy more mesquite. If all these rules are adhered to at least two men will keep warm-the two with axes.-Tombstone Prospector.

London, Dec. i..-Premier Lloyd George, speaking today at Bristol, said the English military service act was passed in order to meet great emergency. When that emergency was past the need was passed the act would lapse. He added that there was no intention to renew it. Whether Great Britain would require conscrip- tion in the future in any shape or form, MT. Lloyd George said, depend ed not upon the opinion which he now expressed, but upon the peace terms which were made. Continuing the prime minister said:
 What drove us to conscription was the existence of conscripted armies on the continent that inevitably rushed the world into war. They could not

TO BLUDNER BLINDLY
 TO SUCCESS

Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board believes an American merchant marine can be built up in spite of the La Toilette Seaman act
 He says let us build the ships, man them according to the terms of the Seamans' act and enter the field for world commerce.
 Shipmasters and ship-owners and men who have put their capital into the shipping business and gave it up say it cannot be done.
 Japan chuckles gleefully and sends it's commissions to notify us that we must expect to meet them as com petitirs on the high seas. England has coppered the situation and starts her merchant marine for the trade of the world while we are calmly advised to try to meet com petition under the same restrictions that wiped the American flag off the seas beore the war started.
 Chairman Hurley says we will try it under the La Toilette act and if we fail, it will be time enough to go to Congress for relief.
 Instead of a merchant marine built and equipped upon scientific princi- pies we are again to go in blindly and learn in the dear school of suffering and experience.

at the same peace conference" Pre- mier Lloyd George declared:
 The cabinet never heard of the scheme. So far as the cabinet is con- cerned it is purely an expression of the opinion of some general"
 Wealth of Germany The war bill of the allies against Germany is 24,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds, ac- cording to David Lloyd George. The cost of the war to Great Britain was eight billion pounds.
 Before the war it was estimated that the wealth of Germany, said the premier, was between 15,O0O, GOO, ,O00 and 2O,OOO,OOO,09O pounds sterling. So, if the whole wealth of Germany were taken, there would not be enough to pay the account. Therefore, he used the words: Germany should pay to the utmost limit of her ability"
 When the prime minister was ad- dressing an overflowing meeting, he said, Great Britain would be guilty of a great folly if she gave up her navy
 A voice interrupted: t'Then watch Wilsoni''
 The premier replied: Well I hope to meet him in a fortnight. I will tell him what you say.'
 Wherever the request comes from we are not going to give up the pro. 1 lection of the navy, so far as Great Britain is concerned.''
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-12-13

0O0,000 pounds, a gigantic sum. The German bill, he believed, was six or seven billion pounds. He declared it was indefensible that the person who was in the wrong and had lost should pay less than the person who had won.
 Germany Must Pay
 The premier said a British inn perial commission had been appointed to investigate the capacity of Ger many (to pay) and that he had re- ceived it's report. He summarized his remarks on this point as follows:
 First. As far as justice is con cerned we have an absolute right to demand the whole cost of the war from Germany.
 Second. We propose to demand the whole cost of the war from Ger many.
 Third. When you come to the eX- acting of it, we must exact in such a way that it does not do more harm to the country that receives it han o the country that is paying it.
 'Fourh. The commission appointed by the British cabinet believes that can be done.
 Fifth. The allies are in exactly the same boat. We shall put in our demands together and whatever they are they must come in front of the German war debt"

The prime minister continued:

The prime minister continued:
 The first consideration in the minds of the allies will be the inter ests of the people upon whom the Germans have made war and not the German people who have made the war and have been guilty of that crime.''
 Kaiser is Responsible
 With regard to the former Ger man emperor, the premier said:
 There is absolutely no doubt he has committed a crime against inter- national right, and there is absolutely no doubt that he ought to be held re- sponsible for it so far as the Flu ropean allies are concerned"
 The premier said he hoped Ameri- ca would take the same view when President Wilson arrived as to the demand that would be put forward on the part of the European allies ito make the kaiser and his accomplices responsible for this terrible crime.''
