IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

Austria has been Germany's cats
paw since the war began, and Count
lCzernin's talk, reported last evening,
has a familiar ring.
II may we'll be regarded as hope
Hui sign that the German offensive
Ehas definitely failed in its object, and
that the pan-Germans must begin
the work of preparing the people at
home for the news that the war is
not ended.
II is the beginning Of a new peace
loffensive". Such a move was fore
cast long before the German drive
began. It was freely predicted that
Germany would make the drive and
then make new peace offer to. the
lAllies, the terms being based on the
degree Of success attained in the
drive.
Count Czernin tries to make 1t ap-
pcar that the only thing that pre-
vents peace between France and
Austria, is the question of Alsace-
Lorraine. He would represent
france as lighting for conquest sole
lly. "Czernin lies" was Premier
iClemenceau's terse retort.
Germany's error consists in
believing the present battle is over.
1t hasn't really begun yet.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions,

The Chicago Tribune: Only a
benevolent despot could hope to make
price fixing a perfect success. In
the United States we have developed
a system Of production and distribu-
ton which is fundamentally opposed
70 outside interference or dictatton.
We have relied in the main on the
law Of supply and demand to keep
prices within reason. Consciously or
unconsCiously we have allowed the
freest scope to the operation Of these
forces. If the producer. the middle
man. or the consumer sometimes suf-
fered. we have felt there was less loss
in such a condition than in submit
ting to a benevolent despotism.
The exigencies OF war tend to give
special advantage to certain
producers and distributors, The eX-
tent Of the demand has no relation to
the ordinary processes OF production
and distribution. In these circum-
stances the idea OF price fixing is
translated into the idea of protecting
the consumer. The agency OF regula-
ton takes 1t for granted that produc-
ton will proceed as usual: its only
concern is with the man who makes
the ultimate purchase.
4 AAU AAAAAAA 90 IL - III" PAeAAAANNN
strikes across ordinary conceptions
of the relation Of price and supply.
IL regulates a few commodities and
the others 30 to price beyond rea-
son
A few years ago we were exhorted
to buy cotton at 10 cents q pound. At
the present time il Is hard to get
cotton at any price. though IL Is
nominally worth about IS cents. Cot
ton is raised in the south. There is
no price fixing for cotton.
The coal situation furnishes an
ironic contrast Coal is produced for
the most part in northern states. DIR.
GARFIELD thinks IL Is his duty to be
especially tender on the consumer.
As a result we have a coal shortage
and asshutdown OF industry that are
unparalleled in our national expert
ence.
In Chicago we might take the case
or milk. In order TO save the con-
sumers one cent the milk commission
has alienated all the milk producers
in this district The milk market is
demoralized. and no one knows
whether we shall have an adequate
milk supply after this summer.
The market pages say that farmers
are using the largest share OF their
acreage TO raise corn and rye. be-
cause these grains are not subject to
the control Of the food administra-
tion. Nevertheless wheat Is the most
valuable farm product, and Ii wheat
is regarded as Improbable the food
administration will find it difficult to
justify its policy.
A current news dispatch SAYS that
a new committee on price fixing has
been organized BY the Council OF Ma
tional Defense. 1t is proposed to
refer all questions of this kind TO the
price fixing committee The commit
tee has little or no authority. There
Is no reason to believe that Ii can
effect a solution OF the difficulties
involved. But II would be only
such a committee, or rather
a superior war council, that
we can hope for success.

A STRATEGIC RETREAT" FOR
PRO- GERMANS.

Out of approximately $50, 900 votes
in Wisconsin, Berger was able to
muster approximately 10000.
Wisconsin voted herself loyal
about four to one.
When the immense German popu-
lation of Wisconsin is considered,
and when it is remembered that
Milwaukee has long been the biggest
Socialist stronghold Of the country,
the Berger vote is hearteningly
small. Study the Berger vote in such
German counties as Marathon,
Ozaukee, Sheboygan, and Washing
ton, and 1t will be seen he had in his
following all the German sympathiz-
ers, Socialist and otherwise. He had
also all the Socialists, German
and otherwise il there are any
otherwise; he had all the pacihsts
and the party OF discomfort. Yet all
these were outnumbered by the loyal
Americans four to one.
In Chicago all the Socialist candi-
dates for aldermen were defeated.
The Sixth German City OF the World
also went back on the Kaiser as did
the First German State Of the Ma
ton.
No better evidence could be
sought, than that the country is at
last becoming thoroughly aroused TO
the menace Of Prussianism. The war
Is no longer a thing apart. 1t is be-
coming the whole existence Of the
nation. Decent, self-respecting AM
orleans are just plain mad-fghting
mad. They have submitted to being
nowled down by noisy minority as
long as they intend to be. 1t looks
like a mighty good time for the
actively dislOyal or even the passive
~ unloyal, to hunt cover.
"Americanism" they used to say
has no place in an election. That
Is coming to be true, Gbut not for the
reason they had in mind. It is going
TO be true because no man who is not
100 per cent an American, win dare
aspire TO public Office. Until both or
all candidates are such Americans.
then patriotism is the biggest issue
and the only one that counts.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PATRIOT.
ISM,


We like the brand Of patriotism
possessed by NJ. c. Terpening, a
farmer living one mile from New
Rockford.
Listen to what he told the State
lCenter man the other day:
Il am going to plant 500 acres
10 wheat this year. Under pres
ent conditions il might be better
for me financially to plant other
grains-but the government
needs wheat and wheat is what I
am going to give, God willing. I
am going to plant only enough
oats and other feed to weather
me through the winter months.
The remainder Of my land lis to
be seeded to wheat to help feed
the boys over there and the peo-
pie at home.
There you are.
One loyalist Of that type is worth
d thousand Of those who say: Il am
loyal but"
We don't know Mr.. Terpening, but
rs the sailors say we like the cut of
his jib".

life Of ease and self indulgence.
Military training is being considered
as the remedy, to teach Russia's new
citizens their duties to themselves
and to the government, and to defend
the revolution from outside attacks.
Meanwhile
In Washington last week, Senator
Thomas Of Colorado, who made q
minority report last year against the
Universal Military Training bill,
completely reversed his stand and
admitted his change of heart.
1t is coming, not for the purpose of
maintaining an immense standing
army, but for the purpose Of avoid
ing it. The chief question to be de-
bated now is the proper time to
inaugurate it, now or when the end
Of the war is in sight. and before
rehabilitation begins
