True Purpose Revealed.
Recalling to the ex-emperOr their
conversations. the prince says:
Il was deeply impressed with the
talk / had with YOU when we in
augurated the obser, -ory of Led
enberg. When / condemned the
militarizing of a people as stunting
individual development you de-
scribed 10 me the advantages of
such a form Of national education
outside its purely military objects
because. as you said, il relieved men
from the heaviness of their bearing
This was your conception Of the
principal end Of a system the ap-
plication OF which is terrifying the
world. Today in the path of your
armies are strewn the marks of this
education which betray your true
end or your profound error.
Although you said 10 me one day
that it was not your right to take a
certain action which would have
conserved world peace. yet you told
me on the yacht Meteor on June 2S,
1914, in learning of the assassina-
tion of Archduke Ferdinand, now I
must do everything over again
Responsibility is Clear.
History will recognize in these
two manifestations of your con-
science the truth of our responsible

answered me with unusual en-

Find Frosted and Decayed
Potatoes May Be Utilized
in Manufacture of Starch

Frosted and decayed potatoes have
been found in trials conducted by
the United States department of ag-
riculture to be entirely capable of
producing acceptable and frequently
normal yields of clean, white starch
of good quality. Much of this ma
teria1 appears to possess a potential
value for the production of sizing
starch approximating that of the stock
at present used for this purpose. The
mechanical difficulties in recover
ing from decayed pulp are some
times less than from normal stock.
Modified procedure adapted to these
abnormal pulps doubtless could be
devised, department specialists say,
but there seems to be no reason why
the present method might not be ap-
piled profitably in the meantime in
the production of sizing starch in large
factories at the large shipping CEN
tiers installed to utilize the great guam
titles of frozen and decayed potatoes
arriving during the fall and winter.
This would turn to profitable account
large supplies at present without
value, but which are q serious burden
of expense since to their cost of pro-
duction must be added transportation
and dumping charges.

The People Who Suffer Most

There may be well-intentioned peo-
pie who say that virtue always leads
to success and vice to misery. But it
is an obvious and monstrous falsehood
In a world where we profit by the good
deeds of our parents and where mill
lions are suffering unutterable tortures
because of the deeds of foreign poten-
tates- That those who suffer must
have been wicked. and that those who
triumph must have been virtuous, is
one of the most inhuman beliefs in his
tory. AS to the doctrine that the re-
ward of virtue is to be found in a clear
conscience or high satisfaction-that
s an even more violent falsehood. The
people who suffer most from their con-
science are obviously the sensitive and
high-minded. while self-approbation
comes most easily to the complacent
and fortune-favored Jack Horners. The
doctrine that the reward of moral life
Is feeling of satisfaction or happi-

Those in U. S.
WORKSHOPS ARE WIPED OUT
Labor REIMBURSEMENT Is Subject of
Greater Importance in France
Than in Any Other Bel
liqerent Country.

Observation-Disclosures of labor after
rehabilitation looms as the biggest
after-the-war question in France.
A committee of members of the
French c.samber of deputies has Off
cially asked the government what
steps toward labor reconstruction are
20 be taken.
Appointment of q commission to
study the question has just been an
bounced.
Labor readjustment is a subject of
greater Importance in France than in
any other belligerent country-outside
# Belgium, perhaps-because SO many
factories and commercial enterprises
have been destroyed by the war.
When the soldiers are demobilized
! great number will not be able to
return to the work in which they were
Engaged before the war. Their work
shops have been wiped out.
Many others who have been en-
ployed on war work In munitions
plants will be thrown out of employ
ment. For such concerns will have to
shut down while they adapt them
selves, many of them slowly, to a
peace-time line of manufacture.
Another class of men, who have
been away at the front four years,
will find no places open because they
have been replaced by other labor
women, in numerous cases.
The government faces the problems
of having more men on it's hands than
1t has jobs. A quick solution is inn
peratfve, according to the view of
prominent labor leaders.
