What Woo! Scrim Is.

A much discussed fabric used in the
development Of senitailored street
frocks for spring is wool scrim. 1t Is
really nothing more or less than wool
etamine, lightweight, loosely woven
material that has enjoyed a recurrent
popularity for number Of years.
Textile manufacturers, particularly
those dealing in WOODEN materials. have
not brought out any new weaves this
year. and obviously the next best thing
to do was to rename some of the old
time favorites. Neither gaberdine. wool

cAMOUFlA6ED GIFT.

The Cedar Rapids Republican, speak
ing Of Brisbanes now notorious deal
with Feigans pan and the brewers says:
He went to g W. Feiganspan of
Newark. New Jersey, brewer and a
rich man. and borrowed from hin!
$4,000. part of which ne has since
paid back. and al Of which he will pay
back with interest added. Between
them Il is presented as business
transaction with the element Of friend
ship interiected. So far his statement
may be accepted as correct, for We
should not do an injustice to any man.
The Republican however is mistaken
The contract as it has been exposed
was practically a gift-if Brisbane
chose to make il so. He need pay only
from profits. He need pay no interest
He need not pay at all except as he
chose.
Mr.. Br;sbane's friendship seem tc
have been extensive with and confined
to the brewery ipterests for it seems
that they put up the money-unless
other interests still more sinister had
their hand in the transaction.
It is not new for brewery money t.

serve them. Al most the brewery con
nection simply exposes the subservi-
ence Of the Washington Times anc

DIR. MENTIONS LIQUOR WAR.
ICedar Rapids Republican,

The order prohibiting beer after
Dec. ], in conservation OF grain re-
quired for food. " something that will
startie many devotees of that mild
beverage, but we are all willing to
forego both the foam and the tregs OF
the stein. il 1t will help us win the
war There is no man who will not be
willing TO make that much of a sacri-
flee. 1t is little enough compared with
the sacrifice that others are making.
And in this connection it may not be
amiss to recall that little tempest in
London last January in which Dr,
Newton figured so conspicuously and
for which he was criticised even on
this side of the water, on n state OF
entire transformation. Dr.. Newton
never stopped TO explain it, nor hardly
to contradict it, for It was lie so
we'll concocted and SO powerfully
backed that II was useless to try to
overtake It But before his fellow Ro-
tarians. speaking intimately and per-
sonaiIy he did refer to it. And this is
what he told:
At that time there were limitations
on grain for brewing. but certain men
ances increased 20 per cent last Octo-
Der and again % per cent in January
we believe these are the correct per-
centages 1t was then that DIT. New
ton was both moved and urged to
speak. His was one Of the powerful
| voices speaking for America in Eng
land. And what ne said was simply
this: In America our people are eat
ing substitutes. using barely any OF the
essential grains in their desire to save
it and send It to the armies that have
to do the fighting. We have stopped
all distiliing and we are severely lin
ting brewing. by reducing the guam
tity and the quality Of the beers. 1t
will come with surprise to a people
who are making such sacrifices that
in England the grain allowances have
been increased As per cent
And 50 Dr. Newton protested in the
name of America against such use OF
grains that we were conseCvin" here.
And the appeal. together with many
other appeals, was heard and needed.
The Increases were taken off.

Will SONS TERMS FOR PEACE.

With great crowds gathering at
peace demonstration in German cities
and HindenNEg explaining that ne
can't let go Of the war until the entente
allies are willing to quit and with the
opposition party in Hungary publicly
proclaiming that the time has arrived
TO accept President Wilson's terms for
peace we can review those terms as
defined by the president in his public
address.
On Feb. II he said to congress:
First-That each part of the final
settlement must be based upon the
essential justice Of that particular
case and upon such adjustments as are
most likely 10 bring a peace that VIII
be permanent:
Second-That peoples and provinces
are not to be bartered about from
sovereignty to sovereignty as if they
were mere chattels and pawns in the
game. now forever discredited, of the
balance of power; but that
Third-Fvery territorial settlement
involved in this war must be made in
the interest and for the benefit Of the
populations concerned and not as d
part Of any mere adjustment or com
promise Of claims against rival states :;
and 20
F'ourth-That all we'll defined ma
tional aspirations shall be accorded
them without introducing new or per-
petuating old elements Of discord and
antagonism that would be likely in
time to break the peace of Europe ana
consequently of the world.
In his Fourth Of July address at The
tomb Of Washington he again said:
F'!rst--The destruction Of every
arbitrary power anywhere that can
separately. secretly and Of its single
choice disturb the peace Of the world
or IL 1t can not be presently destroyed
at least It's reduction to virtual i'm
potencc.
Second-The settlement OF every
question, whether Of territory, oi
sovereignty, Of economic ARRANGEMENT
or az political relationship. upon thc
f,asi.; OF the free acceptance Of that
settlement By the people immediately

Newton also made u protest against
the catering Of English dealers TO
American appetites. He reminded
them that in America the regulations
were severe. that no one could sell or
give liquors to the boys in khaki He
said it was based on the theory that a
government that conscripts a mans
life could also conscript hts conduct
to the end that he might be fitted for
his great work He asked that the
British government throw around the
American soldiers the same protection
that they had in America, insofar as
il was possible under British institu-
tons. He added that he had seen
American boys under the influence OF
British liquors and every time ne saw
that disheartening spectacle il made
him mad at the laws and customs that
prevailed in London. As one OF the
spokesnen for America, the fathers
and the mothers, he felt he could not
say less.
We think that these protests on his
part were fine and they have been
highly effective. He did not misrepre-
sent the parenthood OF America,
neither did he misrepresent their sons
in Europe But some liars got hold of
the thing and one of them went 10 the
American admiral and asked If it We're
true. as stated by DR.. Newton in the
City Temple, that the Americans in
the service were habitual dr,Inkards,
and so on and so on. The admiral.
and others 10 whom that malicious
question was submitted. of course.
denied It.
The only comment to make on that
Is to say that they did not submit to
the admiral and the others what DR..
Newton had said. but base and prob
ably malicious lie about what he had
said and they submitted it in that form
because they wanted TO discTedit DR..
Newton because he had dared to at
tack one Of the great powers Of Great
Britain. the brewing interests. inter-
ests that never have hesitated to storm
at such methods.

EXPRESS CHARGES BOOSTED.

i Washington. Sept. 20.-Director
General McAdoo approved the applica-
ton OF the American Railway Express
Company for further rate increases
estimated to yield S2s.s70, 900 and has
sent the proposal to the Interstate
commerce commission for final action,
The commission announced last night
that public hearings on the matter
will begin Tuesday. Oct S.
The amount realized by the YeCent
advance in rates approximately So
600 900 has been absorbed entirely. Mr..
McAdoo wrote the commission. in max
ing wage advances to express en-
ployes. The director general said he
was satisfied there must be q further
increase in wages and that some 3l2.-
900 600 OF additional revenue would be
needed for that purpose
Accordingly he said he had asked
the express company for suggestion
as to what advance should be made
in present rates TO yield the additional
income. The company's memorandum
was submitted TO the director general
and forwarded 10 the com mission.
Assuming that $4,000, 900 express
revenue must be obtained the director
general requested the commission to
determine whether the method sug-
gested by the company was a proper
one. II different plan was deemed
best, the commission would indicate it.
"At the present timey" the director
general said. "the express business is
being conducted at a deficit which will
be largely increased by the advance in
