IMPURE CANDY SENT
 SAILORS ON WARSHIPS

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. B. Discovery of 'impurities" in candy supplied to canteens of navy ships to- day caused the issue of an order sus- pending the sale of candy to the men and also the purchase of additional supplies pending investigation.
 Navy department officials were careful not to say what the "impur- ities" were. but the announcement of the order immediately caused a re- currence of the report that powdered glass had been discovered. There was no confirmation for this however. and no case of sickness from eating the candy had been reported It was mere ly stated that impurities had been discovered in candy sold to the of ficers and men and that while chemi- cal investigation was determining what the substances were no more of the stuff would be sold or bought.

DAMAGE TO STUDS
 STORED OVER &1OO.OOO

SEATTLE. Feb. 8.-Fully $100,- worth of damage was done to the Skagit county potato crop by the re- cent floods. according to an estimate made by one of the leading potato buyers of the northwest. The dam aged spuds were in pits which were whole or in part covered by water. He estimates that there are now not more than from 150 to 200 carloads of potatoes available for shipment in that great potato growing section.
 Prices are low, Mir. Nelson offering only SIS to $16 per ton. and being particular about the quality at that. One of the main reasons for the low prices is the inability of the shippers to get cars.

kA|SER'S DENTIST
 RETURNS HOME
Says Germans Moving in Together to Save Necessities-FYrm in Belief
 Will Win War

Most of us have heard that the
 dentist of the Kaiser is an American: : . but he isn't; he is back home. From
 Flint. Mich, his home. he describes
 conditions for a large western news
 paper.
 The German soldier looks fine. but everything else in Germany looks like
 the devil" is his summary. He left
 Berlin in October 1917, after recov- ,ering from illness, and his story is the
 latest authoritative view of Germany.
 He says: There are today 100000
 to 125,0OO empty stores and resi-
 dences in Berlin, where normally In
 peace times the number would not ex-
 ceed 5000. The big change has been
 wrought because many businesses
 have gone bankrupt and the people are moving in together to conserve
 necessities of life Stores that are Op- en have little or nothing left in them.
 The people of Germany are fearful
 ly tired of the war. They are sick to
 death of it, hut they have DO idea of
 giving up. Ask anyone in Germany about the war and they say, We're
 going to win. just look at the map.
 No matter what setbacks they have you never hear any one in Germany say. we got licked If news seeps
 back into Germany of gain by the
 Allies it is always a 'strategical re-
 treat. The military powers say it is 90 and it is so to the German peO-
 pie. l think the people of Germany can exist for another year at any rate. There is no tea nor coffee ana the beer is about like water and tastes like varnish. Hotels. for some months. have been forbidden the use Of lin- ens and they use paper napkins and serve the food on bare tables or on paper spread over them. The news papers are reduced in size and look and smell abominally. The ink is of the poorest quality and comes on on your hands while you read. There were in the neighborhOOd of 400 to 500 shoe factories in Germany before the war began. They have all been shut down but about 13O. Of those that remain 100 are making shoes for the soldiers and the other thirty make shoes for the civilian popula- ton. When a person hasn't shoes now he goes barefoot. or else gets wooden shoes to put on the old shoes. Most Sf the people go without. Most of the oil is gone, even to castor oil. which has been used for lubricating pur- poses. The trains are bad. The cars go pumping over the rails, for there is nothing with which to repair them. It is used for the army. There are no automobiles except those used by the military officers. The military party ] of Germany will die fighting whether they are killed by the Allies or by their own people in an uprising after EGermany has been crushed" We call IAttention to the last sentence, be- cause we believe the doctor is cor rect when he says the military party in Germany will die fighting, whether they are whipped by the Allies or crushed by an internal revolution. The latter is a far way off, as the second paragraph of the doctors statement shows. There is only one way to end the war. and that is the Presidents way, we must win the war by fighting. and hard fighting at
