The German Government suggests
that the President may occasion the

undertaken the responsibility for this

by conferences and in agreement with

Washington. - Whatever promises
Germany may make to the United
States and her Allies they cannot
serve as a basis for an armistice or
peace negotiations as long as the
Hohenzollerns and the system of gov
ernment they represent remain in
power.
And this, in effect, Is expected to
be the reply of President Wilson to
Germany's reply to the President ac.
cepting the terms laid down by the
President.
The President has made 1t plain
that the German spokesmen as at
present constituted cannot be trusted.
In his address in New York, Septem.
ber q, he said:
We are all agreed that there can
be no peace obtained by any kind
of bargain or compromise with the
Governments of the Central En-
pires, because we have dealt with
them already and have seen them
deal with other Governments that
were parties to this struggle, at
Brest.Litovsk and Bucharest They
have convinced us that they are
without honor and do not intend
Justice. They observe no COW
enants, accept no principle but
force and their own interest. We
cannot "come to terms" with
them. They have made II impos.
sible. The German people must
by this time be fully aware that
we cannot accept the word OF
those who forced this war upon
us. We do not think the same
thoughts or speak the same Ian
guage of agreement.
There Is nothing in the German
note that justihes the President to
change a single sentence of the fore.
going passage.
The assurances given by the note
as to composition and origin of the
present Government cannot be taken
seriously. officials asserted. They
pointed out that the President, In
sending his queries to Germany, was
aware of the strong possibility OF
Germany acceding ostensibly to his IA
points of peace agreement, but that
she would dodge on the main issue as
to who was going to pledge Germany's
name to such an agreement II was
on this point that he was looking for
an opening to convey to the German
people finally and Enthusiastically that
their present Government, no matter
who may wear the title OF Chancellor
or how many members OF the Reich
stag may be willing to stand sponsor
for II, is unacceptable to the United
States from the point of view of trust
worthiness as long as the Hohenzol
lerns continue to wear the German
crown and retain the power of making
and unmaking Of cabinets.
The President, officials believe, will
inform the German people that "the
present German Government, which
has taken responsibility for this step
toward peace" in reality differs In
no wise from any OF the preceding

~ASSUAGlNG WAR GRIEF

Chicago News; The buzzard that
flies down the Shenandoah valley must
carry his own ratiOns with him." was
the grim jest of our civil war. In Eu-
rope now are valleys and prairie
where the carrion bird finds all the
bones picked, Part of the area lately
annexed to the German empire in line
with its policy of mo annexation
has been pacified by the extinction of
all things that might inaugurate war
or contribute to the material of war.
Areas on the western front and in
Italy will not produce one potato to
the square mile. Europe is gaunt.
There is n way that any American
citiZen-or any American boy or girl
who feels the grief of this tragedy
can assuage that grief. 1t is a sure
way. There is nothing 20 good for
softening ones own sorrow about war
as to take a hoe and a garden fork
and go to the back yard or to suitable
idle ground Of any kind-and produce.
If you are embittered over Poland,
Belgium, Serbia or northern France.
try the garden fork cure. All who
raise food from the soil are recruits

MUD PIES TO GARDENS

Leonard Barron, introduces the chill

amusement in a new and interesting
setting in The Red Cross Magazine:
II never yet saw the child who
did not like to make mud pies. but
there is a drawback to this kind Of
amusement; it doesn't get anywhere.
The mud pies are of no use and all
you can do is simply throw them away
and begin all over again.
LET me introduce you to a new
amusement, in which you will still
play with the earth but instead of
making useless mud pies, you will be

HARD COAL

Minnesota and other northwest
states will get anthracite coal for
next winter. Definite assurance to
this effect was given Judge j. f. Nc,
Gee, Minnesota fuel administrator. by
Harry A. Garfield. fuel administrator.
The amount has not been determined
but 1t probably will be at least as
much as last winter and perhaps as
much or more than received in 1916,
The fight made by Judge MCGEE for
essential service to the northwest is
bearing fruit and with this assurance
there seems no liability that South
Dakota will be short of hard coal. The
only thing to do is to obey the direc-
ton as to signing the statement with

early. This will help solve the question.

A HOE FOR EVERY HOME

The hoe has become a weapon of
war. The food situation was never
more serious than now. Saving food
is n solution of the world shortage;
substitution is another, but equally
important is the spring edict from the
Z. S. Department of Agriculture and
the U. S. Food Administration that
the country must plant and produce
more food this year than ever before.
The urgency of this demand must
be appreciated and acted upon prompt
ly by every home in America. Every
householder with I'VE a little land to
spare should buy a hoe. The hoe
should become the symbol of a self
sustaining household as regards gar
den foods. Every peck of potatoes
and every pint of peas brought in from
the back yard releases that much more
for the current market and saves that
much to ship abroad.
Almost every home has some mem
Der who can devote a little time each
day to the hoe. This should be con-
sidered as much a part of patriotism
as to buy thrift stamps or to knit for

AS TO HATING GERMANY

William T. Hornaday: No country
that ever existed ever was scorned
and loathed as Germany will be
loathed in America after this war.
Every new act of the Huns only adds
fresh fuel to the fires of national hate.
No one in America is making any
special hate propaganda. Hatred just

German peoples detestable action.
And the people of Germany now know
this, and feel it. They are asking
each other: why does all the world
hate us?" The American people now
know full well that there is no line of
demarkation between the Hun military
wolves and liars and the so-called
German people" They all desired

tration is bending its energies par
~ticularly to the matter Of saving wheat
during the next few months. Grain
in France and to the Allied nations
with whom we are fighting against
Germany, in vast quantities if the war
is TO go on. Our surplus Of wheat is
exhausted and the people OF the Unit
ed States must save from their own
supply at least $1,000, 900 bushels TO
ship between now and the next harry
est. The simplest way to save is to
stop using bread in the casual general
way to which we are accustomed. Vic
tory bread, substitute mixed bread,
graham bread, whole wheat and what
not in the way Of breads are being
recommended and recipes are being
suggested for them. All these are
good and should be used when neces-
sary, but it is better still to cut down
the daily consumption OF bread and
to eliminate the %thoughtless habit Of
eating it to I'LL in idle moments at
the table. In England, the public
eating places Of all types and degrees
OF expensiyeness serve one Slice with
each meal. No more is TO be had for
any price. In France, whore bread
made up more than SO per cent OF the
entire amount OF food eaten in pre-war
days, the daily allowance is as pitifully
small. The same holds true in italy
and in the latter country, people are
being denied the macarOni which in
some sections has constituted the main
article of diet. To make matters
worse over there, other foods are
scarce as well as wheat.
We can no longer regard wal as a
popular excitement. We are in the
grim and appalling reality OF it now,
equally with the European nations.
The daily casualty lists are beginning
to bring that home to the most I'M
thinking. We must do our part in
every way or be branded as a Stacker
one of the ways in which this
country must strike at the enemy as
definitely as sending men and NUM-
lions, is to keep up the food supply
Of those countries who are dependent
D II us for it. Wheat is the need Of
the present; it is more, it is the ne

THE HABIT OF SAVING

Kansas City Star-A college presi-
dent one remarked that he was al
most ready to say it was a good thing
for a boy to be in debt when he left
college, because his Indebtedness was
an incentive to saving. Once he had
acquired the habit of saving it came
easy and he got ahead. But if he
went out to make his living with no
immediate incentive to saving he was
likely to acquire wasteful habits and
to live up his income. By its thrift
stamps the government is making it
easy for boys or girls to get the saw
ing habit without the necessity of 60
ing into debt to provide the incentive.
Every boy and girl can earn a little
money this spring by running a war
garden or by doing some sort of odd
jobs. 1t can all go into thrift stamps
at a quarter each, and before the own
er knows it he will have a good start
toward a bank account with the gov
eminent. The habit thus formed of
for a definite object will be of
even more value for future success
than the money itself.
