SOLDIERS VOTES.

New York in keeping with other states had planned to see that its men who are in the service abroad should rot be deprived of their vote in the coming election. A commission had been named to see that such a pFiyi- lege was extended to the men and it was ready to visit England and France to carry out it's work With every state using its soldiers with equal fairness it would mean that there would be 4S commissions rummaging about among the camps along and back of the fighting fronts for these votes, and it has been decided as the result of the announcement received by the New York commission from Acting Secretary of War Crowen that it's members will not be allowed to make the trip.
 The war department has decided that the collection of the votes with the men so scattered in England and France would only serve to embarrass the war activities. cause great con- fusion and bother the movement of the troops and this can be fully ap- rreeiated when so many soldiers on writing home state that it is next to impossible to find time to scribble a line.
 The decision which is made in re- gard to New York state will of eoGr5e apply to the other states. But with the soldiers so thoroughly engrossed in their work of driving the Huns ii is possible that the appointment over their inability to vote will be greater here than over there. If il would be detrimental to the success oi the war the decision will have to bs accepted on those grounds, but there will be the satisfaction both to those abroad and those at home of knowing that the states had not forgotten ths men at the front.

FIGHTING DISHONESTY.

It doesn't make any difference where it exists, whether it is in mu- nicipal affairs or in a big corporation, wherever and whenever fraud or or Ganized stealing Is known to exist 1t Is time that determined steps should be taken to stop the plundering and to punish those who are involved.
 Such is what is being done at the presenN time in the arrest and prose cution of stewards, chefs and walters on the dining carB of the New Haver road. It has been found that these employees have been engaged in a sys- tnmatic and well planned scheme oi defrauding the company out of thous- ands Of dollars through dishonest practices. Those who are familiar Gish the methods of doing bushes.

MUST CONTINUE sHIPsulLDlNc

The fact that there has been break among the central powers and that there are indications that others Of the quadruple alliance will go khe same way that Bulgaria has does not warrant any let up in the shipbuild- ing activities which are going on in this country.
 There is no telling when the war will end. It may come as quickly as some people are inclined to believe, as the result of the changed condition of affairs following the offensive of General Foch. and it may not come for a longer period. but whether it is | due for the immediate future or not it is perfectly evident that the need for ships is such that the ending of the war cannot mean any letup in the construction of new vessels.
 The submarine warfare has result cd in the sending to the bottom of millions of tons Of ships. It is neces- sary that they be replaced and the increased production in the Ameri can yards is not only keeping pace with the sinkings but gradually re- storing the losses sustained before the I
 results of the speeding up process be- gan to be felt. Thus 1t becomes ap- parent that the policy of the shipping board in laying out it's work on four years basis. while there may bt nothing to indicate that the war vii be prolonged for that period, is in ac- cord with the needs of the situation for while 1t is believed tha. the wa will be over in a much shorter tim' there is going to be need for all thu ships which can be built. even th0ugl
 results would pile up much faster wer'
 the sinkings by the underwater boat
 to be eliminated. We are in a pcht
 tion to and must replace much of tn
 lost shipping if for no other purpos
 than to take care of our own require
 ments following the war.

FIXED PRICE
OF WHEAT
The End Of he War Does Not Cancel
the Executive Orders Guarantee
Ing Price to the
Farmer.

Because of a considerable number
of inquiries regarding purchase of the
1918 and 1919 wheat crops in view OF
prospects for early peace, the follow
ing statement has been made by the
United States food administration:
"The presidents proclamation Of
February 81, 1918. fixing guaranteed
prices for the 1918 wheat crop, ap-
plies to wheat harvested in the
United States during the year 1913
and offered for sale before the first
day of June 1919, to such agent or
employee of the United States, or
other person as may be hereafter
designated at the principal primary
markets specified. The food admins
thation grain corporation was desig-
mated June 81, 1918, to purchase the
1918 wheat crop and will therefore
continue to exercise that duty and
obligation even though peace should
be signed prior to June l, 1919. The
food control act provides that termi-
nation of the act shall not affect any
obligation accrued or accruing dur
ing its existence and the purchase
of the 1918 wheat crop is such an
obligation.
1.-THE presidents proclamation OF
September 2, 1918. establishing guar
fanteed prices for the 1919 wheat crop
applies to wheat harvested in the
United States during 1919 and offered
for sale before June 1, 1920. AS in
the case Of the 1918 crop the wheat
must be offered for sale to such
agent or employee of the United
States or other person as may be
hereafter designated at any one OF
the principal primary markets. UP
to the present date. however, the
agency by which the 1913 wheat crop
/ is to he purchased has not been desig.
mated.
"Thus, although the guarantee for
the 1919 wheat crop will continue
until June 1, 1920, there is no present
assurance it will be purchased OF
handled by the food administration
grain corporation"
