The Two Statements

The most striking difference between the state ment of President Wilson Tuesday and that of Premier Lloyd George last Saturday in the treat ment of the peace negotiations between the Central Powers and Russia. Lloyd George refers those negotiations something entirely detached subject at hand The president apparently regards the peace terms proposed by the Germans as pro- posed to the whole entente and America and replies them. Lloyd George speaks in terms of friendli- to the Russian people and merely reassures them by statement of Great Britains aims. Presi- dent Wilson's attitude toward them is also one of frendliness but there is the accompanying inevitable lecture involving much in the abstract at time when all seeking a concrete foundation.
 Lloyd George accepts the reasonable, general view that in whatever terms the German proposals for peace made to the Russians they were made to them and to of the other allies The terms em- ployed looking to the involvement of all the allies in the negotiations made doubtless only to con- the Russian proposal that all the allies should be given opportunity engage in the negotiations The Germans did not expect that the entente and the United States would engage in them. They knew, of course, that there could be agreement by Great Britain France and America with such terms as Ger- many would propose with reference to Russia. The terms meant for Russia alone, and Lloyd George

OLD TIMER ASKS
 F0RM0RE WHEAT

Charles c. Green, who has liveG
 iii the Salt River valley since 1886. and who understands agricultural
 conditions not only from the stand point of the old timer, but as man who is always trying to get modern | methods on his farm, is doing his 1 best in trying to get the farmers of Maricopa from a spirit of loyalty to plant more wheat. Mir. Green, | who is the president of the Maricopa County Farm Improvement associa-
 tion, and who has been very active 1 in various movements for the welfare of the farmers, made the following statement yesterday:
 Our country is at war, and be.
 cause there is absolute need for it
 we should plant wheat as it will 1 help us to win the war. Our boys l are at the front, they need it and 1 may need it for years to come for l all we know. We must take care 1 of them, and can do our bit il. that i way. Wheat can still be planted for 1 from four to six weeks with assur- | ance of good results if we have q | favorable season. Every man who | plants wheat, however. should be very careful to have his seed thor 1 oughly blue-Stoned or treated with 1 formaldehyde so as to use every pre- caution to lot have rust or smut in l his crop. There is one thing that 1 the government is calling for in 1 agricultural lines and that is more wheat, and it is up to the farmers
 to plant this wheat even if they know that they can plant some other | crop and make more money. But
 with the present assured price of
 wheat for 1918. they are assured of making a handsome profit on their
 land, even if they do not get more | than 1,500 pounds an acre. ard l know personally of land in this val ley that has yielded up to 2,S00
 pounds per acre. At the present price of early wheat of s3.5O per | hundred it is readil yseen that this
 crop yields a good profit on the
 land.'

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Grain advanced in price today owing, more or less, to skepticism regarding an early peace Corn closed firm, 1sd14 to F net higher, with January s1.27ss and May S1.25l5. Oats gained 7s to $ and pro- visions 15 to 27 cents.
 Feeling that peace was more distant than had been hastily assumed, yes terday gave the corn market an up- ward slant. Throughout the day re- newed talk of a possible lifting of the maximum price limit on future deliv- cries tended to strengthen values Much attention was bestowed on the continued meagerness of receipts, for which snow drifts on railroads and country highways were held chiefly re- spOnSible. Forecasts of more snow and severe cold, seemed far from re- assuring.
 Oats rallied more sharply than corn as declines in oats yesterday on ac- count of peace, selling had beer greater than was the case in corn. II was said a week of favorable weather would be required to bring transpor- tation back to normal.

QUEBEC, Jan. 9.-Shifting of the ice has enabled the crews of four American steamships imprisoned in the St. Lawrence river near Cape Chatte to reach shore and relieve their distress for lack of food and water, according to reports from that vicinity today.
 The four ships were identified as the Sicoa, Ferman, Key West and Keynol understood to have been requisitioned by the United States shipping board on the Great Lakes for Atlantic ser vice. They were among a number of lake vessels cut in two to permit their passage through the Welland Canal and later re-assembled. They left Quebec for Atlantic ports several weeks ago. Each of the vessels has a crew of 25 men.

LABOR INDORSES PROTECTION

How truly the trade unionist lead
ers of Democratic political faith hate
to use the words Protective Tariff" is
exemplified in the attitude of delegates
to the last National Convention of the
American Federation of Labor, when
the following was passed:
Resolved, That this convention go
on record in favor of policy of indus
trial preparedness and the enactment
of laws by Congress that will ade-
quately Protect all wage-earners of
CUR country against loss of employ
ment through any invasion of the pro-
ducts of any other nation"
This is a resolution calling, purely
and directly, for Protective Tariff"
as it is commonly called because of
lack of better or more concise def
milton.
How long will Democrats, who hap
pen to become leaders in the union
labor movements, be able successful
ly, to continue in showing their ami
mostly against those fundamental
principles of the Republican party.
which have brought good times and
high wages to all wage earners in the
United States, and chiefest of which
is the principle of Protective Tar
iff?"
If legislation passed during, or af-
ter, war times, to Protect our wage
earners against a flood or imported
manufactured goods from foreign
lands, manufactured by men, women
and children at starvation wages and
impossible hours of labor, it will be
protective Tariff" and it will have
to be so called.
The rank and file Of the organized
labor movement of the United States
believes in a Protective Tariff, and
even the Democrats who are union la
Dor leaders WILDE obliged to acknowl-
edge this fact shortly, and to make
use Of the sensible words Protective
Tariff" when speaking about the leg
islation which they want enacted to
save us our high wages, our short
hours of labor, and the living and
educational advantages which our glo-
rious County offers to its children

Throwing Water.

Do you know how to throw buckle. :
full of waterH This question Is asked
In all seriousness, in a bulletin on fire
prevention issued by the United States
department Of agriculture. Water
buckets are said to be the best fire pro.
lection anybody can get for the money.
But most people don't know how 10 use
them to the best advantage. The de-
partment advises practice, and give a
few useful suggestions.
II you find flames breaking out in
your house don't just grab pail Of
water and discharge It blindly in the
general direction of the fire. 1.-THE
knack of throwing a broad sheet of
water in semi circular sweep is easily
learned, and Is useful on a spreading
fire on the floor. The water should be
applied to the base of the fire, aud not
to the flames and smoke" Also. water
dipped out with the hands or dipper
or broom and sprinkled on the fire is
often more effective. than that thrown
on the fire from distance"
Why not have fire drill in the house
occasionally Most fires could easily be
extinguished before they gained much
Roadway. IL people went about the
matter in q quiet, sensible, efficient
way. In the city 1t would save the FIRE
department many an unnecessary run.
And 10 the country 1t would save many

Washington Letter.

Washington, April 9 Especial COR
respondence)-It is reported that con-
siderable dissatisfaction exists among
members of the camoufage unit of the
Army because they are not receiving
any instruction in this very important
phase of modern warfare. According
to some of them who are in training
camp Somewhere" in the district of
Columbia, about all they do is to pose
for photographers working under the
Creel Bureau, or private enterprise.
One young soldier, whom to mention
would insure his incarceration in the
guardhouse, is panoramic painter Of
countrywide reputation. He enlisted
in another branch of the service, and
believing his ability would be more
useful to the army as a camofeur, he
effected a transfer to that branch.
Since his assignment to duty in the
camoufage unit, he declares, his or
ganization has had practically no in
struction in the art. The officers ap-
pear to be entirely ignorant of the
work, though willing and anxious to
receive training which they may con-
vey to their men. Day follows day in
the ordinary routine of camp life, but
in the art of masking batteries,
screening outposts, and concealing
roads, nothing is forthcoming. An
other soldier declared that the only
example of camoufage which had
been exhibited to him was that being
practiced on the American public by
the Official Bulletin and the Creel
movie screen, which had nothing to
do with field tactics.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
War Department will speedily awake
to the Importance of trained camou-
fieurs in the American army. Among
the Allies large emphasis is placed on
the training Of men for this service,
and every command has men assigned
to it skilled in fooling the enemy with
regard to positions or movements. 1t
has become highly recognized
branch of the fighting forces abroad,
and we alone are laggards in this
work. We have borrowed guns and
uniforms from Great Britain and
France. 1t would be something of an
imposition to subtract from their
camoufage service to help us along.
But we could very well secure the
services Of highly trained camoufeurs
now at the front to come and instruct
our units in the work, just as we are
calling on British and French experts
to instruct us in the use of the rapid
FIRE guns, aviation, barrage and mop
