and maintain on the American con- tinent." Now to say the least, that was a splendid promise and you know with all England's faults, she surely has always kept her prom ises. And she kept this promise, in a far more substantial way than most of us imagine.
 Johnson, the historian of Ameri- can Diplomacy, tells us "that for the past seventy years a strong al liance with England has been the base and foundation of all our for eign relations"
 During our Civil War we had several little unfriendly disturb ances with the English government We at one time held the English mailship Trent and Captain Charles Wilkes, removed from that vessel two Confederate commissioners, and in committing this act, we violated our own contention as to the right of search, and of course we were compelled to deliver up these men and make apologies.
 But England also made false step in the Alabama affair, and she was under the necessity of paying no little indemnity of sixteen million dollars.
 At that time, we may also recall, that Queen Victoria was approached regarding her signature to a certain

OAT FLOUR RECIPES TESTED
 BY UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT

Oat flour has greater food value than wheat flour and is one of the substitutes that the American people are asked to use. ..> >-.. -:
 Cats may now be used in breads and cookies either in flakes or ground in the food chopper. There is an oat flour now on the market that makes a satisfactory product up to 50 per cent in most recipes and 100 per cent in cookies and wafers. Even in yeast breads 50 per cent substitute makes good loaf. Lighter bread can be ob- tained by oat flour plus some other flour, such as milo maize up to the 50 per cent.
 When more than one-third of the flour is oats, the fat requirement can be reduced one-half because the oats contain considerable amount of fat.
 Ground rolled oats is preferred to flour in cookies and crackers in the laboratories at the University of Washington home economics depart ment.

In 1916, there was used in the

In 1916, there was used In the production of malt, for the manu- facture of beer for home consump- tion and export, about 60,000,000 bushels of barley, 5,O0O,OOO bushels of corn, and bout 5000 bushels of rice. This represents about 30 per cent of this years corn crop. It will be seen, therefore, that the economic advantage to be gained from the prohibition of the manu- facture of beer relates almost en- tirely to the question of saving 60,- 000,000 bushels of barley, which could be milled to 60 per cent of its food value, and produce a pound loaf of barley bread per day for 6,000,000 people, if our people could be persuaded to adopt such a ration. Not bushel of wheat, therefore, is now being used for the manufacture of intoxicating drinks, and it wheat that our people are asked to save. From the begincing, our purpose has Teen to supply the Allies with 220,- 000,000 bushels of wheat for which there can be no substitute If. therefore, the barley at present used in the manufacture of Eeer could be used so as 70 release wheat for eX- port, and even if it were true that 36,0OO,OOO bushels of milled barley could take the place of a like qLan tity of wheat, we should still be put to the necessity of saving 180,00o.- 900 bushels of wheat.
 The foregoing statement sets forth the exact situation, indicating the urgent necessity of carrying out the conservation program, even though the Government were i'm mcdiately to act and put a stop to the manufacture of beer. In short, we must not withhold our co-opera- tion until all social and economic wrongs are righted, but, recognizing the absolute necessity of supplying our Allies with their minimum re- quirements of wheat, we may throw ourselves unreservedly into this patriotic service, without in the least condoning any wrong which any of us think needs to be righted

What the United States Food Ad. ministartion Has to Say With Reference to the Use of Grain
 in the Manufacture of
 Alcoholic Beverages.

h the attitude of thc churches to- ward the food conservation cam paign, the question is repeatedly i ised, why Christian people should be asked to save wheat, while waste is still permitted in the manufac- ture of whiskey and beer. The fol- lowing considerations, however, show that it is necessary for all to CO., operate in the campaign for food saving, even those who. on prin ciple, are dissatisfied with the pres ent situation.
 By the terms of the food bill, the manuf cture of whiskey and all dis titled beverages was prohibited, and actually ceased September 8, 1917. No edible grain is now used in Eng lend for the distillatioa of alcohol for beverage purposes. In Italy, alcohol is made from the residue flom grape pressing, and not from grains. Brewing of ono quarter of the usu, amount of beer is per- mitter in England, but of an alco- holic contents closely approxima:;ng our linear beer"
 In regard to the domesti: manu- facture of beer, the following facts are of interest:

state document, and American his torians will perhaps never forget her reply to that request. She said: My lord, you must understand once and for all, 1 will not, under any circumstances, sign papers that might lead to war with the United States"
 Now'in the light of such historical facts, we are constrained to believe that a just and lasting peace in this world can only be established and maintained by the loyal cooperation and alliance of America, England, France, Italy, and all the South American republics. And the prin- ciple to be enforced shall be: That every nation, great and small, must possess the right to carry all their differences to worlds court of arbitration, and the verdict of such a court shall be conclusive and final"
 The above is the text of a lecture delivered by Geo. w. Pennington, Director of Nenana Four-Minute Men, at the Coliseum theatre last evening.

ARBOR DAY

Next Thursday, May 30, because it is Decoration Day and a holiday, has been selected as the most ap- propriate occasion for the planting of trees in Nenana and it has ac- cordingly been declared the first official Arbor Day. All property holders are requested to aid in the Identification of their own property and the town generally by setting out at least one tree on that day or as soon thereafter as convenient.
 Those who resided in Fairbanks prior to 1912 realize how that town was so remarkably improved by the setting out of trees after it's first Arbor Day was declared. They will remember that before the trees were used for decorative purposes the home-like appearance that most of the dwellings there now possess was conspicuous only by it's absence. To these property holders in Nenana it should be necessary only to men, tion that the time to plant trees has arrived. for they are perfectly aware of the benefits to be derived therefrom
 To others, who are not so we'll aware of what can be done with young birch, poplar or aspen trees in this part of Alaska, it may be stated that little work at this time will return dividends in the near future, through the betterment of, their lots, that can be obtained in no other way so satisfactorily. It may be re- called to their attention that a lot in any city in the United States pro- vided with shade or decorative trees will always command premium over similar property without trees.
 There should be very little trouble in finding in easy reach enough young birch or poplar trees to plant every street in Nenana. Birch takes kindly to the .Ccal soil and will al most certainly grow if given reason able attention. Trees from two to three inches in thickness seem to give the best results and there is not Q cabin or more pretentious dwelling in town but what will be improved in appearance by the addition of a few of them around the lot or On the street in front of it.
 Let every lot holder to his bit to beautify the town on Thursday. He will draw big interest on a very small investment of labor. ..~.

Tomorrow King Albert Of Belgium
Snters Brussels, his capital. The Ger
mans have withdrawn to the eastward
nnd are rapidly clearing out of Belgium.
The day is appropriate, for it is the
birthday Of the king, whose conduct

the admiration and affection of mil
lions who are not Belgian.

Food for Germany.

1.-the German people are starving food
must, Of course, be sent to them. If
the sending Of food is essential to pre-
vent an anarchical outbreak in that
country it must be forthcoming. On
the first ground, it must be sent as
measure Of the humanity that Ger
many herself denied those whose lands
she invaded at the outset of her un-
holy warfare. On the second ground
st must be sent as a measure of in
eurance against disorder menacing
sgain the peace Of the world.
But the American people will not
contribute to the food supply cheer
fully OF in . spirit of forgiveness. That
fact may as wen be stated plainly at
fhe outset. The practically universal
sentiment Of this country today is that
the German people, whether innocent
sufferers themselves, as successors to
The infamous government that brought
IN unspeakable misery upon the world,
are deserving Of some Of the punish
nent and torment that for the last
1our years and q quarter were inflicted
upon the people of France and Bel
kium, Serbia and Poland and some
parts of Russia
But the considerations that have led
10 the Presidents promise of food to
Germany on condition of the mainte-
nance Of order and an equitable dis
tribution are outside of the field of
punishment and reprisal. We are now
dealing with new Germany, in a po-
6tical sense, Germany of reorgani-
Eation. The object of the allied ma
lions in fighting Germany during the
past four and quarter years has been
TO destroy evil that peace might be
zestored, not temporarily, but endur-
Mgly. It would be sorry exchange
10 swap war for state of universal
anarchy. Furthermore, in the max
ing Of this peace we must have sub
stsntial organization in Germany
through which to work, and that can
not be assured if starvation causes the
German people to institute q reign of
terror.
Every pound Of food that goes over
seas for the German people will be ac-
eompanied by reminder Of the bar
berity with which the people Of the in
vaded countries were treated by the
aGerman statesmen and soldiers. The
memories Of the stolen supplies sent
dor the relief Of the Belgians viii be
5evived. Tho loot that was carried off
from the occupied lands will be borne

suers Of var to the point Of death and
INSANITY win be remembered.

for any part Of the majority's pro-
grams, and hence not obliged to keep
track Of them. The Speaker now df-
fers from the Vice President only IN
the fact that he Is q member Of the
body over which he presides, and from
his place can vote on any matter that
comes up. He can exercise his priyi-
lege at his own pleasure.
As yet, there has been no suggestion
Of return to the old order, when the
speakership was in very truth the sec
ond Office in importance under the gov
ernment. If no change is made,
Speaker Clark's successor will be as
powerless as he has been.
Mr.. Clark will now return to the
floor. During his occupancy Of the
chair his party has been deprived OF
his talents as a debater, and the value
Of his suggestions as man of large
experience as legislator. It has en-
joyed only the benefit Of his knowl-
edge Of parliamentary law and his
fairness in administering it. It win
now be served by the full man, SO to
say. The debater and legislator viii
resume business at the old stand, and
his party be the gamer.
Should Mr.. Mann, for any reason,
prefer service on the floor, opportuni-
ties for prominence and usefulness
there for one of his capacity and ex-
perience will not be wanting. The next
Congress will be a very busy body,
with many new questions to deal with,
and inspired in its work by the knowl-
edge that the legislation Of tho first
session will have a bearing on the pres
idential campaign Of that year.

Tammany and the Presidency,

At the democratic national conven-
ton six years ago Tammany was very
much in the picture-too much 50 for
the good Of Champ Clark, whose can
didacy for the presidential nomination
it was supporting. By deft manage
ment, Mr.. Bryan, who had gone over
from the support Of Mr.. Clark to the
support of Mr.. Wilson, was able at the
critical moment to turn the conven-
ton against both Tammany and its
candidate, and induce it to bestow its
favor upon the Jerseyman. Tammany
returned home in ugly humor; and the
Baltimore candidate might have been
held to account on election day if the
republicans, by dividing their strength
between Taft and Roosevelt, had not
made democratic success in New York
inevitable.
Two years ago, at the democratic ma
tional convention, Tammany sang
small. There was nobody in sight but
the President. His denomination by
acclamation had been decreed before
the convention met. With any other
candidate, the party, it was conceded,
would have no chance. Tammany ac-
quiesced, returned home with profes-
sions Of loyalty to the ticket, and on
election day the republicans swept the
state. Mr.. Hughes made runaway
race. --..
At the next democratic national con-
vention. Tammany viii again be an In
teresting figure. It now centaOls New
York city, and if Alfred Smith is seat
ed as goyernor-something that looks
altogether ikely-it will then, through
him, have some apull" in state At
fairs.
New York is, at an times, m i'm
portant factor in national politics.
Whom will Tammany support for tho
next democratic nomination. It Mr..
Wilson stands for the third time, Will
Tammany support hint It is in his
debt for the support Of Mr.. Smith, who
could not have won the gubernatorial
race without the administrators open
favor. He had that, in full measure.
If Mr.. Wilson does not stand for
the third nomination, who will be Tam
many's choice for standard-bearers II
it presented the name Of Mr.. Smith
it would only be as personal COM
pliment. The party would not accept
an out-and- -ont Tammany man for It's
national leader.
The name Of Secretary McAdoo, who
is New Yorker by residence, is sug-
sested. Likewise is that Of William
R. Hearst, who supported Hylan for
mayor and Smith for governor, xnd,
though often aout" with Tammany, Is
just now on excellent terms with the
organization.

Preparedness.

! Former President Taft says: "This
war has taught us that it pays to be
prepared It likewise teaches that
now we are prepared We should re-
main so.
The war put an end to feeling and
policy dangerous to the country.
Warnings against helplessness had been
uttered in vain. Those in authority
would not heed. It had been impos-
sible to rouse them to an apprecia-
ton Of what was necessary. For mora
than q decade, despite all efforts to
equip the country for defense, the
country had been in a condition bor-
dering on helplessness. Then came the

mind again. Unless care is taken the
value Of what has been done By pra-
parednsss will b forgotten or mber-
dinated in tho thonght Of tho money

There win be retrenchment, Of
course. War figures win not be con-
tinued In peace times. Taxes win be
heavy, and the people win ask for re-
lief.
Relief VIII be afforded But the
value Of preparedness should not for q
moment be lost sight Of. The size Of
the Army can, and win, be reduced, but
not to the pre-war proportions. Those
proportions look amazing now. They
are . reproach to all responsible for
them.
As for the Navy, It should not only
not be reduced in size, but should be
advanced in size. It is larger today
than whom we entered the war, but still
far from the proportion it deserves.
Its part in the war has not been fully
described, because Of the secrecy nee
essary in moving the units from place
to place. With the seas infested with
the enemy's submarines, publicity was
inadyisable. Nevertheless, the Navy
was very active and efficient; and, now
when tie end Of hestiities win Lift the

ever be caught entirely unprepared
again. But there is room for discus
sion q to the character and extent OF
the preparedness No should support; !;
and we may expect the discussion to
begin without much delay.
