IT'S TOUGH ON
THE UNDERWRITERS

(By Newspaper Enterprise Association)
LONDON, Eng, Sept. 20.-The British
undertaRers are doing some mourning
on their own account nowadays.
Two things are necessary, they say
for successful funeral: one-timber
for collins; and two-pallbearers TO
carry them. And the war has brought
shortage of both.
One undertaken cites a case where
the only men TO carry the coffin were
the undertaken himself and the hearse-
driver.
"And howl ask you-how can two
men remove a coffin from a fifth-story
suite with dignity2" he demands.
That's not all; professional mourn
ers are impossible-quile. And there's
small but persistent group of Brit
ishers who think funerals ought TO be
abolished anyhow; at least the collins
and professions and hired mourners
and \cemetery lots.
They write to the papers about II

REPUBLICAN VICTORY
PRACTICALLY ASSURED.

From the Laurel Leader.
II requires but a glance over the hap
pcnings in Democratic ranks during
the last few days TO give final assur-
ance that in Delaware the Republican
party will be victorious at the coming
election. We have no need of leaving
our own dooryard to ascertain the bit
terness that exists in Democratic ranks
as far as the State ticket is CONCERNED
for our delegates from Laurel were
openly announced as Salisbury or
"anti-Saulsbury" before they started
on their trip TO Dover last Monday.
Look at the situation from any point
Of view. There is feeling and de-
cidedly bitter feeling among Democrats
regarding their state ticket, particular
lv on the question of their candidate
for The United states Senate. Usually
n might be said that however warm
the fight might be at Democratic pri-
maries OF convention. they would come
together at election and stand for their
candidates, but this election VIII De
an exception.
Directly following the election OF
delegates on the Democratic ticket last
Saturday afternoon, when results were
known through lower sussex county d
prominent Democrat went on record
with a brief, but unquestionable, stale
ment. lie said that while salisbury
would be nominated. the result Of the
feeling against him would be evidenced
on election day, FOR every man that
voted for an anti-Saulsbury delegate
must vote anti-Saulsbury on election.
This statement covered the condition
and little inquiry is required TO prove
that the condition is general. The feel
ing against Salisbury is undoubtedly
stronger as far as the Individual voter
Is concerned than has been expected.
Neither is there harmony on the
question of the candidate for Congress
and another battle ground will be
slrewn with lost votes on this issue.
II will be impossible to win over the
salisbury and Polk antis and the split
will spell what It has always spelled
"d-e-f-e-a-t."

IMMENSE STORES NEEDED
TO FEED MEN ON TRANSPORTS

An account of how soldiers are fed
at sea is given in the daily news
paper published on transport:
Outside of providing 100000
meals at sea, the mess officer of the
ship has very little to do. Very lit
tie.
HE is only called upon to provide,
by the regulations, 1870 different var
eties of food. That's all. Ever try
to order 1870 different things to eat?
Yet this is the authentic list.
1.-THE food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get the
answer in the ship down below the
water line where 1890 loaves of
bread have been baked in one day,
and where you stumble over every
variety, from 10000 pounds of beef.
to $4,000 eggs, or compartment
of brick ice cream in a 10 degree
above zero vault.
And if this doesn't suit, you can
bump along into 49,324 pounds of
potatoes, 100 pounds of ham and
bacon, 1900 pounds of butter, 1900
pounds Of sugar, and $500 pounds
of -four.
If you can't get meal out of this
you can still fall back on 1900
pounds of sausage, 3400 pounds Of
sauerkraut, 10000 pounds Of apples,
$4,000 pounds Of oranges, and 1900
pounds of onions. And this leaves
out 1900 pounds of jam and 94OO
pounds of lima and navy beans"

RUSSIANS WILL
NOT ABIDE BY
FORCED TREATY
Kerensky Says Country
Bleeding From Every
Pore but still Opposes
Enemy lnvasio on;
America His Goal.

LONDON.-"I bear witness that
the Russian people never will recog-
nize the Brest-Litovsk treaty, which
hurled Russia into the abyss of an
initiation" said Alexander F. Ke-
rensky, former premier of Russia, in
an address at the labor conference
Thursday.
M. Kerensky said that Russia was
bending under German insults and
bleeding at every pore, but still OPP
posed the enemy invasion.
Alexander F. Kerensky, the short
lived dictator of Russia, whose sud-
den appearance before the British
labor conference Wednesday startled
not only the laboring men, but the
British public generally looks toward
America as the goal Of his journey.
He hopes to be received here as the
spokesman of his country. He wants
to plead the cause of the newborn
Russian democracy to the great re-
public overseas.
Keeps Haven Secret
Kerensky within a few days will
go to France, and thence to the
United States. His friends say the
former premier does not like the
word Intervention" in relation to
allied aid to Russia, but prefers the
phrase "help and reconstruction.
How Kerensky escaped from Rus
STA and how his comrades shielded
him from the Bolsheviki remains his
secret. At present he is evading all
unlimited visitors.
No conjurer pulling a white rabbit
from silk hat ever startled an
audience of wild-eyed children more
thoroly than Arthur Henderson sur
prised the labor conference Wednes-
day in introducing Kerensky.
Amusement prevailed the meeting
hall, to be followed by cheers, as the
slight, youthful, dark-haired and
shaven man stood up beside

labor delegates that the Russian

level of brotherhood.
Into the craftsmanship, the poll.
tics, the business of the day that is
breaking just ahead, will come new
spirit-a spirit of honesty, generos-
ity and gentleness
The craftsmanship of the world
will be successful only insofar as
it is honorable and just. The politi-
clan who achieves success will attain
his ends by worthy deeds alone.
The business man must stand on the
broad ground of real brotherhood.
The attitude between employer and
employee will be that of man to man,
not master and slave.
Every man must practice thrift
and every man must have the chance
to practice it.
Are we fighting this war merely
to crush the power of a coterie of
mad-men whose hearts are beating
in unison with the cruelty of Fred
erick the Great?
1t is alone the object of this war
to demonstrate that the feudal spirit
of the eighteenth century was
wrong? Are we fighting this war for
a democracy that shall reach down
and take root in the heart of every
citizen in every country.
There is no such thing as
democracy that is not universal any
more than there is an autocracy that
is tolerant.
These things are to be the fruits
of this war. And into this order of
life the universal practice Of thrift
must come, for thrift is the very
essence of democracy itself.
Thrift is upbuilding and con-
structive-essentials without which
no true republicanism can perma-
nently endure. These are the lessons
we must learn from the great text
book of passing history. Unless we
rise to these newer ideals-unless
we catch the sweep Of this new spirit
of Northumberland we perceive
the necessity of intelligent thrift in
this new and brighter day ahead
we are far out of step with the times.
There never can come time in
our national life when thrift will not
be a necessity. 1t is as vital to our
success in winning this war as
powder and STEEL And in that criti-
cal period of readjustment which will
come with the beginning Of peace,
thrift will be just as necessary. Mil
lions of men will come back from the
fighting front prepared again to take
up the occupations of peace. The
acute scarcity of labor will be at an
end. The pressing demand for war
SUPPLIES will be over. The imitation
that now exists will subside rapidly.
In this readjustment there will be
need for thrift and economy to pre-
serve the equilibrium. Living condi-
tions will be revolutionized over
night, as it were. Gone will be the
days of abnormal wages. Merchants
will find the values of their stocks
suddenly deprecated. 1t will be a
period of acute readjustments, and
only thru practices Of thrift will the
economic effect of the shock be tenn
pered.
and as the years go on the pro-
digious losses Of this era Of devasta-
tion must be made up by thrift. HUI

OF SHORT HAY
CROP AND HIGH PRICES

B. Harvey Alfred, the director of
farm markets for Idaho, is still
studying the hay question, and feels
confident that the scarcity of hay is
increasing, and that prices will be
high next year. He finds that
large amount of meadows have been
plowed up this year, and not cor
responding amout seeded. Con-
sumption Of hay is steady and the de-
mand for it has not fallen off.
Crop reports indicate a very short
crop in alfalfa regions as the first
cutting this year, and the state of
Washington reports only 80 per
cent of last year.
