THE Planned GERMANS.

There is new group now in Germany and it
is not yet adept at its business. To the trumpet
call of the pan-Germans succeeds the attempted
sweet reasonableness Of the 'panned' Germans.
The kaiser speaks of his weary struggle to de
fend the fatherland against cruel foes who
brought on the war and will not heed his eager
ness for peace His ministers say ''peace is
nearer than people think;' that Germany does
not fight for territorial additions to her empires
that restoration would be made-under condi-
tons; that if the allies would only stop fighting
and talk about the matter, understanding
would be possible. All this talk from Berlin
and Vienna means simply one thing-the vision
of defeat and compulsory surrender.
We had plenty Of warning of the peace feel
ers due to come from Germany and Austria as
soon as the allies took control of the war situa-
ton. But the manner of the coming is I'M
skilled; the open effort to turn sentiment to
peace is so plain to see the confusion of coun-
Gil and fear of home disruption is so much in
evidence that in spite of warnings the German
attitude is surprising. The Germans were cruel
and tyranncal winners; they appear now as
bad losers, covering dismay with whining argu-
ment and prospect of defeat with pretended
humanitarian.

Also in National School Service there are
messages from the president, from Guy Stanton
Ford, director of educational publications, and
from Commissioner of Education Claxton. The
purport of these messages is to urge the import
ance of the teachers work for the nation S war
cause. In its practical aspects this work is OBJ
vious; the children in the schools have been
made valuable agents of war work ever since we
entered the war and in many avenues of effort
they will continue under the guidance OF their
teachers to work and to stimulate their home
applicable a pertinent query of Dr. Claxton:
"Is war work in the schools of permanent
value?'' And his answer is the right one:
''The answer lies with the individual teacher.

INCREASE IN FOOD PRODUCTION.

With two hundred thousand fewer male
laborers the land in England and Wales,
there was more land growing wheat, oats and
barley in these two divisions of Great Britain
this year than was ever recorded before and
the acreage planted to potatoes is greater than
in any year since 1872. During last winter and
spring over one million, eight hundred thousand
acres of old grass land we're put under the pillow
in England and Wales. 1t is estimated by the
British department of food production that the
increased yields Will provide enough bread
stuffs to feed the entire population sat the pres
ent state of consumption for forty weeks,
whereas in 1917 the breadstuffs produced by
the home harvest amounted to only thirteen
weeks supply. All this increase in food pro-
duction has been accomplished by the use of
farm tractors and other labor saving tractor
machinery and the employment of women on
the farms.

YOUTH, EDUCATION AND WAR.

Young men, eighteen years or more of age,
who enter college this year will be conscripted
to government war service. There has been
considerable anxious questioning about the sta
tus of college students under the new ruling
affecting schools, but there seems no doubt
about the fact stated. Military training is OBJ
ligatory, the only exemption being granted on
the basis of physical disability. Students will
he put into uniform; they will be in effect pri-
Yates in the army, under training of special
intensive sort. A careful reading of the agree
ment entered into between the government and
our higher schools gives the impression that
these young students are to be especially trained
for officers duties and will be called for service
when fit for it. This should end the criticism
sometimes offered that college students are Civ
en- privileges denied to those Of draft age out
side the colleges. 1t appears that far from this
exemption, they are specially desi gnated by the
government for special training for a service
that is likely to call all of them to active duty at
the front as soon as they are deemed sufficiently
trained to secure their safety and the safety of
the responsibility they will assume. The gov
eminent is not affording a house of refuge in
higher schools: it is conscripting them for spe-,
eial army preparatory work. No men are surer
to see service than the college men trained at
HE expense of the government.

Service the publication issued by the govern
snent publicity bureau, Mr.. Hoover addresses an

aid in the food campaigns of the coming winter

WHAT HAYS SAID.

| New York Times (Dem):] Presi-
! dent Wilson evidently had no hand
in the composition of Mr.. Tumultys
egregious lei ter to Chairman Hays.
ut is all 3uJnultfan, and the state of
mind it reveals must give some con-
Germ to Mr.. Tumulty's friends. For
lit gives the clearest possible proof
that he has got himself into men,
tai state wherein any one who OPP
poses the democratic party is guilty
| of a species of moral turpitude. He
quotes the speeches of republican
statesmen, wherein they express
their natural laundering for republi-
can victory, and quotes them with a
triumphant air, as if he were con-
victing them of treason.
He had inquired of Mr.. Hays
VIII ether that individual had charged
the president with being willing to
make compromise peace if that
would keep the democratic party in
power. Mr.. Hays replies that he did
not, and implores Mr.. Tumulty, rather
iturgidly: Let not political parties
spend their time accusing ecah other
| of disloyalty when both are loyal"
Mr.. Tumulty confounds him by pro-
ducing a statement of his in which
tics" was needed. This statement,
air of completely confuting him. is
obviously partisan"
Still with that bewildering air of
triumph nron him, Mr. Tumulty pro-
ceeds to arraign Senator Penrose,
who is republican, for making
republican speech to other republi-
cans. He quotes an incriminating
passage beginning, II want to say to
the republican party, keep it vigorous
and virile all through the United
States, successful whenever it can be
successful" etc. He quotes passages
from other republican speeches, all of
which convey to the ordinary mind
the impression that these republicans
would like to see the republican party
win. No doubt they convey the same
impression TO MIR. Tumulty's mind;
but that mind is in such fervid state
that the expression of this desire on
their part seems to him to verge on
.copperheadism.
What does Mr.. Tumulty want?
The tone of his letter almost sug-
gests that he believes 1t is near.trea-
son to invite any one to vote the re-
publican ticket The president is very
busy with more important things, but
it does .cem as if he could spare a.
moment to put a little ice on his
secretary's fervid brow or tame down
his anguish in some way. AS for
Mr.. Hays. who was speaking in what
he supposed to be confidence and
whose remarks were not stenographi-
cally reported, there is version of
his speech which represents him as
saying nothing whatever about the
president or the democratic leaders
in connection with ending the war.
but as saying that "a certain social
fstic coterie in Washington" would
like to end the war without hurting
Germany too much. If he said that.
he understated the truth; the coterie
is not only in that frame OF mind.
but seems to be doing all it can to
bring it's wishes about 1t is only
