GENERAL WOODS CASE

When Mr.. Taft says the country
is seriously disappointed that Gener-
al Wood has not been permitted to go
abroad with a division which he has
been training" the president and sec
retary Baker may rely absolutely on
the sincerity of Mr.. Taft's concern and
the accuracy of his information.
The country does not know why
General Wood was permitted to train
division for service abroad; to
make his preparation to go abroad
with it, and was then suddenly halted
on the eve of sailing and ordered to
stay at home. No information has been
given out. 1t has been rumored that
ons and counter-reasons, that 1t was
given because of jealousy of other Of
ficers. 1t does not know what to
believe, and 1t is undoubtedly disturb
ed.
Whether 1t is the administrations
duty to itself to make known the real
reason in question for the administra-
tion to decide; but 1t is obvious that
it is the administrations duty to the
COuutIy. IL tue duIlillStTdtlOn TedS-
on is good, it may decide to bear un-
just imputations in silence, regarding
that as the nobler part. But 1t is not
merely a matter of feeling of the ad-
ministration. 1t is a serious matter
concerning the country. For the un-
contradicted rumor that political
grudges, personal spite, or military
jealousy is responsible for Withholding
any capable officer from giving the
country the service 1t needs from him
will have a bad effect on the country's
morale. 1t will spread doubt, chill en-
thusiasm. The administration cannot
permit such chilling and disheartening
suspicion to spread among the people
at time 80 critical as this. 1t owes
1t to the people to dissipate this doubt
and depression by giving its facts and
it's reasons.-New York Times.

DEMOCRATS LAUDED "DEurscH.

Washington, June 1S.-(Special cor
respondence)-It has been frequently
remarked that the U-boats operating
off the mouth of Chesapeake bav took
advantage Of information gathered by
the submarine Deutschland" which
entered the bay and proceeded to
Baltimore in July 1916 and the U-53
which was harbored at Newport in
October. 1916, and a few days later
sunk Ally ships off our coasts. IN that
connection. 1t may be pertinent to re-
print the following paragraph from
speech by congressman Lieb. OF In
diana. published in the democratic
campaign book just preceding the ell
ecticn Of 1915:
"The reception given the "Deut sch

1t is rather astonishing to note, in
view of the embargoes placed on wool
manufactures by SO many of the war
ring nations in. Europe, that our i'm
ports Of wool manufactures during
the nine months ended March. last.
totaled $21,O00,0 900. compared with $12,-
100000 for the similar period ended
March, 1912. under protective rates of
duty. The chief increase Is in wear
ing apparel, which increased, the two
periods considered. from s1,S0000O to
$6,145.000. "All other manufactures"
of wool. mot specifically mentioned)
increased from s736.000 to 1921 900.
How about it when the war puts an
end to embargoes but the Democratic
tariff law remains?

in official quarters toward the Ger
man imperial government. In fact,
the whole attitude of the United States
government in giving a clearance stat
us to the Deutschland; in allowing it
to deliver it's merchandise; in allow
ing it to take away a cargo, part of
which was a product of the soil of
Canada; in giving its crew a cordial
reception as it would the subjects of
any other foreign nation in a legiti-
mate quest, is all striking indication
that the best friendly relations exist
between this country and Germany"
That democratic declaration that
the "best friendly relations exist be-
tween this country and Germany was
circulated sixteen months after the
sinking of the Lusitania and the muir
der Of 140O innocent persons, including
ia Americans. 1t was circulated two
years after the Providence Journal ex-
posed the extent of German intrigues
in America. 1t was circulated after
President Wilson had sent his ''strict
accountability" note and had been re-
buffed by Germany. 1t was circulated
with the knowledge, if not the express
approval of President Wilson. It. bore
the official approval of Vance McCor-
mick, A. Mitchell Palmer, Robert w.
Wooley, and D. C. Roper. who have
since been commended with high ap-
pointments under this administration.
1t bore the approval of senator Hollis,
of New Hampshire, senator Walsh. of
Montana, and numerous democratic
congressman 1t had for its purDose
the winning of German votes for the
democratic ticket, and it accomplished
its purpose. The Deutschland came to
America. was welcomed by the admin
istration, was speeded on its return
with a cargo of copper. rubber and
gold, and its visit here was made the
basis of plea for German votes for
the administration. 1t prepared the
way for the submarine activities of

and a very good trade. Receipts were
liberal, but as usual at this time of
the year a good many we're southern
stcckers going through. Demand was
good and trade active, with prices at
the close of the week about steady
with the week before. Today receipts
footed up $500 head with a fair pro-
portion of natives and prices about
steady. Good steers are quoted from
$3.50 to $16.25, with choice steers up
to s16.65.. Cows of good quality are
bringing $11.5O to $12.75 and fair cows
$3.50 to s11.25. Bulls are selling at
s775 to $3.50 and veal calves up to
s15.25 for the good kinds. Good stock
steers are selling from 50 to $1075,
with choice stockers at $11 to $1175
and heavy steers from $11 so to $1275.
Demand for the good heavy stockers
is strong.
Hog demand was good today and
prices a nickel to dime higher. Good
hogs are now quoted on this market
from $16.25 to $1665.
The sheep trade was good and the
prices unchanged. Good spring lambs
are quoted from $17.75 to 1880, clip
ped lambs from $3.50 to SIG. and
clipped ewes at $12 to $13. Demand
here is better than supply.
