ENGLAND'S PRINCE

A dispatch from Italian headquar-
ters to the London Chronicle says that
some places on the Italian front seem
to be entirely occupied by British
troops, SO large is the number of Brit
ish officers and men who are pouring
in by motor car, motorcycle and lorry,
on horseback, on mules or on foot, or
indeed by any meanE of transportation
available. Their khaki uniforms min
gle tremendously with the grey Of
the Italians and the blue of the French
AS this dispatch was written, the lat
ter part of November, it is certain
that there is cooperation on a large
scale between the other allied forces
and the Italians and that seasoned
French and British troops are no
unessential factor in the great defense
which has been made against the Aus
tro-German invaders. In the same
dispatch, the writer tells that amidst
this constant convulsion of people and
things which never ceases day ornight,
is tall, gentle-looking young man,
very quiet and sedate, who endeavors
to attract as little attention-as posi-
bic. He is dressed like any other Brit
lsh officer. He takes his meals at the
ordinary restaurant and enjoys Ital-
ian dishes and he eats with several
hundred people in a huge place in the
most democratic manner imaginable.
Many of the people around him do not
realize that he is the heir to the Brit
ish throne. Yet he is none other than
Prince of Wales, successor apparent to
George V as king of England, Emperor
Of India, etc, Grandson of Edward VII
and great grandson of the beloved Vic
toria. The young man is probably not
sufficiently proficient in the art of war
to have any distinct command of his
own, but he is there, where his Eng
lsh subjects are fighting with true
English valor for England's safety
and England's honor, doing not much,
perhaps, but his bit, true Briton in
every instinct and in his willingness to
share Briton's danger on battlefelds
involving England's security. Eng
lands sovereigns, since the days of
William Ill, have not been renowned
warriors, and, before William, not
since the Earl of Richmond who on his
toric Bosworth field took the crown
from dead Richard and placed it for
himself and line of Tudors upon his
own brows. Henry v, after Richard
of the Lion Heart, was the most war
like king, but Richard followed a line
OF soyereigns whose greatest lustre
came from martial engagements and
the clash>of swords. The only Prince
Of Wales who stands out for his cour-

WASTE IS CRIMINAL

To waste now is nothing short of
criminal. Secretary of the Treasu-
ry McAdoo.
The duty of the American people
to economic in the consumption of
food and all other materials as well as
save money, can not be too often or
too strongly urged upon them The
duty is so imperative, its observance
50 vital to our country's success, that
It should be kept constantly before
them.
The proposition is plain and under
standable. We have lessened the pro-
ductive powers Of the country by TAX
ing 100000 men away from the pro-
ductive forces of the country; instead
of producers of one kind or another the
soldiers are consumers of the products
Of our farms, our factories and our
mines, and when the munitions they
expend against the enemy is consid-
cred they are tremendous consumers
Of the manufactured products of the
country.
A tremendous amount Of the manu-
featuring energy Of the country has
been withdrawn from manufacturing
the things we use in peace and put to
manufacturing the things we use in
war. The total loss to the country OF
the productive energy of our soldiers
and sailors and the diversion of a
great portion of the other productive
energy of the country to war purpos-
es lessen to a great extent the amount
Of material and supplies produced by
the country.
To this condition Of lessened produc-
ton and increased consumption of and
by our own men must be added the
extraordinary demand made upon this
country to supply the armies of our
allies and to great extent their pop
nlation with food and other material.
We must meet the condition that con
fronts US in two ways-by the strict
est economy in consumption, for every
pound we refrain from using adds a
pound to be devoted to the uses of our

CHEAP FEEDS FOR PIGS.

Pigs do not do well on corn ration
alone. Rye 9nd oats sown in the fall
for winter pasture is the cheapest anc
best supplement for cornfed hogs. Il
one has no pasture it is necessary te
feed some of the high-priced concen-
trated feeds.
Wheat middlings at $500 per 100
pounds is very good feed if used in
the proportion of one-half as much
shorts as corn. Tankage is very
p pular and good feed, but it is not
available on all markets. Sixty per
cent digester tankage at 500 to 500
per ton will be more economical feed
than shorts at $500 per 100 pounds.
In feeding tankage, feed about nine
parts corn to one part of tankage by
weight to pigs weighing about 100
pounds. This tankage may be fed dry
or it may be mixed into a slop.
Feed your pigs all the alfalfa or soy
bean hay they will eat, in arack. These
hays will partially take the place of
the high-priced shorts or tankage.

KAISER WANTS PEACE
TO HOLD HIS OWN JOB

New York, Dec. 2S-The kaiser's
new peace terms are an offer to agree
to return to international boundaries
as they were before the war and pos
sible recognition of the liability partly
to indemnify Belgium, if America and
the allies viii consent to abandon their
demand for a characterization Of Ger
many.
Certain parts Of the kaiser's terms
are vaguely expressed, probably by
intention, but it seems as if the refer
ence to naturalization for illegal acts
against civilization may apply to the
alleged German invasion of Belgium.
There is no indication in the kaiser's
proposal, however, that the Hohenzol-
lern family is willing to abandon its
irresponsible control of the destinies
of the German people.
The kaiser still would have power
to bring on a second great war SINH
lar to the present if the allies were to
accept his new overtures.
1t is apparent Germany is preparing
to sacrifice Bulgaria, since the mo
annexation" clause of the kaiser's
terms debars the Bulgars from secur-
ing any part of Serbia.
But this betrayal of the Teuton's
Balkan ally would net the kaiser ade-
quate compensation if the allies were
to accept the mo annexation" offer
and agree to restoration of Mesopo-
tamia and Palestine to the murderous
Turks.
The prestige of the Bolsheviki dip
lomats is seriously compromised by
the kaiser's terms.
Russian territory in possession of
the Teutons can be ransomed only by
the return to Germany of her colonies
held by Great Britain and France.
Lenine and Trotsky, who have
been bitterly denouncing the western
allies, now find it is these same west
ern nations that must redeem Russia
if the slavs are to have peace with
Russian territory undisturbed.
The danger of separate Russian
peace is, therefore, now greatly di-
minished. The kaiser apparently sees
the fatal weakness Of making a sep
arate peace with so unstable party
as the Bolsheviki.
The present Russian government
appears to be caught in the meshes of
its own intrigue.

narrow and bitter nationalism; that re-
dictionary militaristic doctrines, emily
degree more humane than those
against which we are contending, are
being complacently preached among US
that good will among our people has
not prevented part Of us, who happen
to be in strategic position, from ex-
plotting and robbing other parts, and
that, in short, sweet reasonableness
often seems fed from among us; yet
good will, not only among ourselves,
but toward the very nation which we
are called upon to fight, is not incom-
patible with our purposes.
The president has declared repeat
edly that we have no enmity against
the German people, and this is accept
ed as the deliberate position of the
people of the United States, even
though confusion of small voices is
continually insisting that to qualify
our enmity is to qualify our fighting
power. Our public opinion-if one
means by public opinion the opinion of
the majority of the people, rather than
those which find expression in the con-
ventional press-has not yet begun to
hate. This failure is sometimes spo-
ken of as regrettable apathy which
ought to be overcome; the thousands
of enlistments and cheerful acceptance
of the draft is sufficient reply. We
are not apathetic, but we are deep
down in the mass, democratic. For de-
cades we have watched the immigrants
pouring into our Atlantic ports, get
ting foothold, taking on at last the
color of the country. They have been
our neighbors and friends-in fact,
they are ourselves, for there is hardly
any drawing of the line between
straigh Americans and Americans of
foreign blood. The consequence is that
we do not accept the European tradi-
ton, based on the hereditary interests
of few royal families and few COM
mercial or hereditary aristocracies,
that there are tremendous ineradical
differences between the peoples of diff
ferent nations. We know better, for
we have seen such differences ironed
out in a generation, or, at most, two
generations. Our environments and
history lead us to blame differences in
government for differences among ma
tons, so that when President Wilson
drew the line between the German peo-
pie and the German government the
plain people of America understood it,
even if some of their supposed spokes-
men did not.
ocratic, its people long for universal
To the degree that America is dem
peace and good will for all nations; it
is in this spirit that the real strength
of the popular support of Woodrow
Wilson resides. The masses acquiesce
in the war because they believe that
the destruction Of the military power
of the present German ruling classes
will remove the only visible bar to
universal good will. This hope may
be an illusion, but woe to them that en-
deavor to destroy it.-San Francisco
