STlTESNEN ASLEEP.

Statesmen are so called mainly be-
case they can see into the future as
well as the present, or the past. But 1t
appears that none Of our statesmen. or
those who pose as statesmen, can see
into the future. nor can they see much
Of anything of the present. Their
ignorance Of current events is amaZ-
ing. For half a century Germany had
been preparing for Il war Of conquest.
and, it seems that the successive presi-
Dental administrations. congressman.
military officers and ambassadors to
Germany knew nothing of these vast
preparations. If any of these knew
anything Of the impending danger, no
preparations We're made to meet it,
Congressman were too busy spending
the peoples money, and scheming for
their reelection. to look into the hori-
ION beyond. Indeed. very few of them
could do SO. and many Of them have
candidly admitted their short-sighted-
ness The same inability to look be-
yond the local political horizon was
| shown by the ambassadors to Ger
| many At the national capital, and
within the shadow of the State and
War Departments. the Ambassador
from Germany maintained for years a
system of espionage which extended
throughout the United States, and
practically nothing was known. even
by the Department Of Justice near by.
until the date of our entrance into the
war. SO blind was the confidence of
even suspected. and it required evil
dence upon evidence to convince them
that the German Embassy was merely
Il nest of SlieS-the headquarters of IA
system that extended throughout the
United States.
Also, our ambassadors to Germany
appear to have been asleep. or were
hypnOtized by German "kultur." They
saw nothing of these war-like prepara-
lions. did not keep themselves inform
ed as to what was being dOne-the
principal duty of a foreign ambaSS;l-
dor. But the German ambassador kept
himkSelf we'll informed as to what this
country was doing. or rather. not do.
ing. and promptly reported to his gov.
eminent Our last ambassador. how.
ever. did learn something, but it seems
that he kept it Il secret until he could
emil Ody it in Il hook for his persona
profit. That information was little
too late to benefit our government.
1t is very strange that none OF oul
.. political leaders. in Congress or out OF
it. knew anything of Germany's pre-
partitions for war. or had sufficient
acumen to read the signs of the times

Skilled Labor Recruiting.

While no prohibition against private
recruiting of skilled workers is in inn
mediate projection, there will be regu-
lations. however, which will check the
widespread advertising that has
wrought such havoc in the labor mar
ket and increased turnover and will
ban labor stealing" and ''poaching."
Although the common labor recruiting
prohibition does not for the moment in
clude the nonessential industries, re-
cruiting by the nonessentiaIs has had
hut little effect ON the general situa-
ton. However, no nonessential indus
try will be permitted to interfere with
any war industry or the labor market.

The PRINCIPAL officers of the West

Federal grand jury for sending paid

The United States now has 100000
soldiers in France. and they are going

Der will he rapidly increased with
added transportation facilities. The
Hun officials jestingly stated at the
outbreak of hoStilitieS that the Amer
leans would not tight, could not raise
an army. and that the attempt to do so
would be Il failure" From the manner
in which our soldiers are Strengthening
the Huns, it seems that we did raise
an army. and that the Americans will

Distribution o. Sugar.

\ circular from the L. $. Food Ad
miniStrator at New Orleans states that
the sugar distribution system for Lou
iSiana is ii success, ami that the people
have so patriotically observed the
rules that he has advised against any
card or rationing system being applied
to this state. The circular states that
the sugar distribution for July amounts
to about 6.OOO,0GO pounds. This allow
ance is below the normal, some indus
tries being eliminated and others being
reduced to 80 per cent of their usual
supply. The circular continues:
The preserving question is still
open and continues to lie one of the
main problems before the State Food
Administration. large and early fig
and peach crops coupled with the Gov
ernment's campaign of education, has
induced more preserving and canning
than the state has ever before known.
The dealers had failed to anticipate
the rush. and many were averse to
drawing upon their supply to fill the
special permits. The Food Admins
tration issued an order to give the pre-
serving permit preference over all
ether sales. and also ruled that where
such sales reached 10 per cent of the
allotment additional certificates would
he issued to the dealers. The dealers
urged that they had not considered
preserving in their calculations and
requirements, that any sales for pre-
serving purposes would cramp their
supply for their patrons. that the latter
had already Eeen cut down to three
| pounds per person per month and could
not do with less. and that relief must
| he more general and immediate. The
Food Administration found the point
| well taken and has altered its position
to meet the emergency. Dealers and
others interested are now notified that
they will be allowed sugar to replace
all the sugar distributed for preserving
purposes"
