4 world wide influence has been
exerted by the order OF the War Indus
tries Board commanding a so per cent.
reduction in silk output in this country.
Japan Is not outside the sphere OF
the orders effects. according to cable
grams from there which say that on
account of It nlatures may be closed at
the beginning of December. to remain
closed at least two months. This will
result in reducing the output OF reeled
silk about 90 per cent. which would con-
form TO the reduction in the output Of
finished silks here.
1t was expected that a break in raw
silk prices would follow the promulga-
ton of the War Industries Boards order,
but the manner in which the Japanese
have handled the situation has stabalized
the market.

pressive and at the same time the most temper
ate presentation of the shortcomings of our war
department that has yet been made The secre-
tary has done many things well, he says, but
does not measure up to the task What the
country needs at this time is not an average
man, but the biggest, ablest, most farsighted,
experienced, magnetic powerful secretary of
war that can be found among our hundred mil
lion people It does not content the nation that
its servant intrusted with the conduct of the war
is doing the best he can What the people have
a right to demand is a man in that position who
viii do the best that can be done. The people
want results and not excuses. They want per-
Torrance instead of promise. They want a
master mind like Stanton capable of bringing
things to pass. We have spent forty million
dollars for airplanes In the year just closed.
Forty millions properly expended might have
given us eighty-four thousand war planes at
cost of ten thousand dollars apiece. Had it
given us eight thousand, four hundred the
Huns could not have made the awful bulge in
the allied lines which has been made in the last
few weeks. Lindley NJ. Harrison, General
Leonard Wood, Theodore Roosevelt could have
done it. James j. Hill could have turned them
out, and we still have mastery administrators
in our nation although he is gone Men of re-
spectacle talents do not meet the needs of the
nation at this crisis. It wants the exceptional
men of exceptional talents who are sup to their
jobs
God give men. The time demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and will
ing hands
Tall men, suncrowned, who live above the fog.

France are eating cereal substitutes as we are
asked to in order to send their wheat to the
men In the trenches on whom the defense OF
civilization rests.
People who realize the situation will not
hesitate moment to cease entirely for the next
few months their use of wheat. 1t is a little
thing, trivial inconvenience, compared with
the sacrifice our allies cheerfully make. They
are holding the lines. They are holding the
sea. They stand between us and the Huns.
They are keeping the war from our gates. But
for their valor we should have to withstand the
enemy of mankind alone at an incalculable cost
Of money and life. But for them the seas would
be closed to our commerce and people would be
driven to boomproof refugees in our bombarded
seaboard cities. But for their heroism we too
might come to first hand knowledge of 'kultur"
and poison gas and liquid fire. Surely the men
who are doing all this for US ought to have
every kernel of our wheat until they have de-
stroyed the beast that has set out to ravage and
despoil the world.
