AN IMPOSED. NOT A NEGOTIATED, PEACE.


WY E think that Americans who have been much dis
w turbed recently by the peace talk emsnating from
Germany, Austria and Turkey have been reassured by
President Wilson's latest note and feel that they may
rely upon several things which VIII be TO their liking
They are:
First-Tha the peace which IS sure 10 come sooner or
later will be peace imposed by the Allies and not peace
produced by negotiating and bargaining with the Central
Powers
Second-That heavy penalties will be imposed upon
Germany Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey for the many
crimes they committed against humanity and civ
zatlon
ThrdLThat Germany viii be compelled 10 pay espec-
ally heavy penalties Of the authenticated fact
that the chief oonspraor in the plot TO subugate
the world and bring II beneath the Hun heel
Fourth-That whatever finally IS done by President
Wilson and the United states VIII have the
fun approval Of France Great Britain. Belgium, italy.
Japan Seryia Rumania, Montenegro and far that
approval may obtained under existing internal cOndl
tons Russia
There will be peace until the Entente Powers have
agreed upon the terms chief Of which will be the
dtonal surrender Of Germany. Austria and Turkey and
no one need be surprised If sweep the Hohenzolerns
and the Hapsburgs from power for all time to come
They especially the Hohenzolerns. responsible for
this world its horrors and they should be among
the chief sufferers in the final settlement

the similar period 1917 and 100000 during the first
eighth months Of 1913, under protection.

for the 1919 period falling s662OOOOO during the free
trade period OF 1914.
The index points true Free trade permits these i'm
ports to increase with Europe out Of the running

In exports.

death leaves a vacancy.
Old age marks the close Of a career
and it seems but natural that these
should pass on into larger life. But
when The young and vigorous are call
ed out Of this world 1t gives everyone
a terrible shock and seems so out OF
harmony with the great plan Of life
and growth. When these fall victims
Of scourge like the present IL calls
out the deepest feelings Of every
person in our coty. Now hearts are
opened to kindness and sympathy;
people are drawn closer together and
the worth Of others wins its highest
appreciation. This feeling turns espe-
cially TO those young people who have
died during the past few days. Their
highest worth is realized; all the quail
tiles Of character and personal endow-
ments are more perfectly grasped (;
their bright, active, Inspiring ways
are fixed in memory and what they
have done TO help others takes the
largest place in the thoughts and af-
fections Of those who remain.

alarm, and fears are well grounded,
for its fatality in so many instances
has brought a shock TO the whole

of the young people who held places
of influence and usefulness in this city.
The death Of any one is tragic event.

Almost always the constant oper.
alton Of the lines produces q return load,
the universal character Of the mail aerv-
ice allowing almost anything TO be taken.
The mail trucks go, come rnin, storm,
or anything, and so the traffic devel-
ops. Rates are also pretty high, the low
est being about $40 ton. That is what
makes the surplus revenues.
"Of course, we'll have TO have concrete
roads, but the business can produce
the money to build them. There are some
economies in distribution OF produce
that are simply amazing. 1t has added an
entirely new factor TO transcontinental
transportation, and we shall just begin
finding it out when more extensive op-
Grafton goes into effect during the next
two years"
Just why MIR Blakeslee sees it that
way can be understood from just one
commodity price list. Milk ret&ils now
in Washington at IL cents a quart. Milk
is coming in on mail trucks direct TO
consumers for 10 cents n quart. Natur-
ally the trucks are being weighed down
with five-gallon cans rs consumers learn
Of the possibility. The trucks tap milk
producing territory that outside the
usual hauling lines, and off the rail ar
teries.
"Whcre'll the roads come from TO run
1000 trilcks?" he asks. well
there are 66,0O0 rural mail and
star routes being operated IN
the United States now. Some
times ! think every one OF them would
make a truck line. Food is being handled
10 times on its way TO Il consumer. We
can cut that to five.

cember, when We started, has gwen
