nor pacifst, is opposed TO antocraey-
and anuexations, had 1000 copies
printed in south Germany and sent to
Berlin, where they were seized by the
police. But. some Of the. copies es-
capped confscation, and In March Of
this year a part Of the memorandum
appeared in the Stockholm organ Of
the Swedish socialists. The govern
ment at Stockholm checked the further
publication, but during the same month
tho complete text was published in the
Borsen Courier Of Berlin.
As result Of his activities in this
connection Capt. won Beerfeide was
placed under arrest and according to
a Bern paper he was confined in an
insane asylum. Apparently he has
secured his release from that institu-
tion. The Amsterdam dispatch just
printed states that he declares in his
memorandum that if the reichstag re-
fuses to take action against those Ger
man leaders whom he denounces as
traitors he will Immediately request
passage for himself and family to
Switzerland, "because he will no longer
share Germany's shame and dishonor."
The world is not particularly con-
eerned in Capt. Won Beerfelde's perl
sonal fortunes. He evidently is not
himself closely informed as to the in
side workings Of the war machine, but
as an active propagandist for peace he
may give the German government con-
siderable trouble. It is not easy to
conceive the issue Of passes placing
him in y sphere Of unrestricted activ-
ity in this capacity.

The Aircraft Investigation,

The subcommittee Of the Senate
military committee has reopened for a
few days its investigation Of aircraft
production. New charges lodged were
considered worthy Of attention.
This will delay the committees re-
port. But the public will not COM
plain. What is wanted is not an early
report so much as one covering the
whole case.
The importance Of aircraft in the
war was recognized when this country
became belligcrent. Appropriations
were very large. A sort of hurry call
was sent out. Production must be on
a large scale, and rapid.
After awhile gossip began. Later,
the gossip developed into open speei-
hcations. Allegations were made that
airplanes were not being produced at
all, and then that confusion, and even
worse, existed in that branch of the
war program.
The President first, and then Con-
gress, took up the matter, and the in
vestigation ordered was divided into
two branches. Charles E. Hughes was
selected to probe accusations Of wrong
doing, while tho Senate military COM
mittee addressed itself to the task Of
probing the delays.
There may have been exaggerations
under both heads. Criminality may
not mark anything done or left un-
done. Delays may be accounted for in
= way to disprove charges Of incom-
potency. =. 'E'sz'
But the ordering of tho investiga-
ton aroused the public, and the sub
iect has since been under much dis
cussion in Congress and in tho press.
The country is entitled to the facts,
and stands in good way to get them.
Mr.. Hughes is recognized as master
;nquisitor, while the Senate military
committee il composed Of very able
men.
Airplanes are doing great work in
Europe. Both sides are using them in
numbers mp to their producing ca
pacity; and they are committed to the
hands of trained men. Those who have
achieved the most notable successes
and regulations overhead have been
those who have studied their weapon
and learned its full value.
Much is still expected of us on this
score. We should not only supply our
selves, but add to the supplies Of our
allies. We have the material in
abundance; and Congress has shown
the most liberal spirit in making 'ap-
preparations for. working it up. On
this account the results Of the inyes-
tigation now drawing to close will
probably be important.

Germany Using Her Reserves.

Furious resistance to the advance of
the allied forces. on the Scissors
Rheims front signifies that the Ger
man high command has again deter
mined, If possible, to stem the tide of
retreat and to fight out the battle on
the lines established by the recent
maneuvers. Close upon q million of
the enemy are concentrated within
what is left of the salient. Desperate
counter attacks are being made upon
the French, British and Americans.
Here ground is regained by the Ger
mans, there it is lost. Generally, how
ever, the allied ranks are advancing,
at what cost has not yet been told, but
with no diminution Of the spirit that
has caused complete upsetting OF the
German plan of offensive.
This apparent change of the German
campaign indicates growing fear of
the moral and political effect at home
of continued reverse on the Marne.
No camoufage of o6icial statements
can conceal the fact that a retreat was
compelled by Foch's sudden blow on
the right flank of the advancing Ger
man force. Even at the cost of draw
ing upon reserves held in the north
for later offensive against the Brit
ish, reducing the man-power Of the
German high command in vital part
of the field, the allied advance must be
stentmed.
Long ago Gen. Joffre said that this
is a war of attrition, and that it was
the obvious policy Of the allies to con-
tinue q series Of engagements which
lowered the numbers and lessened the
morale of the enemy. Germany has in
her successive offensives, and particu-
larly in the latest one on both sides Of
Rheims, aided in this process by a
ruthless sacrifice of her own men in
the hope Of breaking the lines or gain
ing q strategic position compelling a
general retreat by the French, British
and Americans.
If Germany has elected to make her
conclusive stand on the Soissons-
Rheims front, the choice is to the ad-
vantage of the allies. If she persists
in. pushing in her reserves, with no
more result than staying further allied
advance, wasting her strength in what
will at the utmost Of success stand as
merely a negative result, she is play
ing the game Joffre selected as his
own. The allied strength rs bound to
grow rather than diminish. The Ger
man strength cannot increase. Far
better is it that the supreme German
effort should be directed in this quar-
ter, where the allies have the advan-
tage Of position and readiness and the
stimulus of success, than elsewhere, in
a quarter in which the enemy might
make an initial gain by q sudden blow
in great numbers.

Germany's Troublesome Pacidst.

Germany's Troublesome Pacifst.
Capt. Won Beerfelde, mentioned in a
dispatch from Amsterdam as having
issued !. memorandum demanding
ruthless action against the men at the
helm of the German government in
1914 as guilty criminals" is the man
who undertook to give publicity to the
memoirs of Prince Lichnowsky, who
was ambassador from Germany to
Great Britain at the time the war
started Prince Lichnowsky's me-
'moirs, designed to expose the falsity
of the German claim Of innocence of
precipitating the great war, were
written in the summer Of 1916. Ac-
cording to German statements which
have reached neutral and allied eoun-
tries, q copy was lent by Privy Coun-
cilor Whiting, brother-in-law Of
Maximilian Harden, to Capt. Won Beer
felde, then employed in the political
division Of the general staff. He has
been described as an idealist and q
pacifist, believing, it is said, that the
one great obstacle to peace was the
conviction prevailing in Germany that
Great Britain was responsible for the
war, and presumably believing also
that the publication Of Lichnowsky's
memorandum would tend to remove
this nisconception. It is interesting
to note that aince the publication Of
the Echnowsky memorandum . sim.
liar view has been expressed by Capt
Persius, military expert Of the Berlin
Tageblatt, who is Mother an idealist
nor paeihst.
Capt. Won Beerfelde, without the al.
thorizstion Of Prince Liehnowsky, had
number Of copies Of the memoran-
dunn made and sent them to some Of
ais friends and acquaintances. Early
in February, 1918, the New Fatherland

necessary to have a wider opening
than the larger gates will give, so
that particular farm implements

Spain Is Buying Pianos.

The American government is buying
mules and blankets in Spain and pay
ing for them with pianos made In the
United States, according to George w.
Pound, manager of the National Piano
Manufacturers association, in calling
attention to one of the striking devel-
opments at the present time in this
country's export trade.
GAS is the case with neutrals gen.
orally" Mr.. Pound said, "much Of
Spain's population has profited largely
by the war, and the demand for pianos
has persisted in spite Of the fact that
the prices Of all musical instruments
in Spain have doubled and trebled
since the war began"
Mr.. Pound said that the American
manufacturers were thereby offered an
unusual opportunity to help the gov
eminent pay the war bills as well as to
meet the foreign demand for our goods.
In this connection, Mr.. Pound said, pr
ano manufacturers can only export
their pianos through government II.

GET lARGE-PRoDuCING COWS
Purebred Bull and Only Best Heifers
From Best Cows Should Be Chosen
for theDairy Herd.

<Prepared by the United States Depart
naent of Agriculture)
Breeding furnishes the most econom-
ical way to obtain large-producing
cows. The purebred bull, with genera
lions of high-producing ancestors back
of him, must be used for breeding, and
only the best heifers from the best
cows should be chosen to be the dams
of the next generation. Pure breed
ing alone does not make a good sire.
The purebred sire should come from a
long line of high-producing ancestors.
If an old bull is selected he should have
high-producing daughters. Two courses
are open to the dairyman when buy
ing a herd bull; he can purchase a
young bull from a good, milk-producing
stock, or he can purchase an old and
tried bull. In either case the bull
should be healthy and from q herd
free from disease; he should have q
good constitution and be of good con.
formation. In selecting young bull
