A WRONG GAME

There is not a single candidate for
office in this county or any other who
has the right to make plea for votes
on the ground that he is a great sup
porter of the Red Cross. No matter
how much a candidate has done for
the Red Cross he is absolutely out
of place when he makes that sort of
campaign or even allows his cam
paign managers or friends to use it.
The Red Cross is not to be CONNER
cialized or politicalised in this man
ner.
We have no doubt out what all the
candidates on both the party tickets
in Crowley county have done nicely
toward the Red Cross. They have ALI
doubtless, been good contributors.
but If that is to be the ground on
which man makes a race, or even
part of his plea in asking for the
votes of the people, then there would
be candidates galore. As stated. the
candidates have each been good Red
Cross contributors. but there are
others who refrain from boasting
about such things who have done
even better

PEACE PROPOSALS

We should really be more frighten-
ed at the German proposals of peace
than we should of the war itself
There is absolutely more to be feared
in the peace proposals than in the
war. for peace such as Germany
would agree to non would only be
peace for sufficient number of years
until the horned crowned demon of
the German empire cou-d get his peo-
pie and his armies back on fighting
Germany has not been
devasted. That country is in finer
condition so far as Icing able to re-
plenish her resources are concerned
than ever, for this war has brought
necessity to the foreground until
every inch and every thread is pro-
ducing its greatest and pulling its
share of the load.
What we want and what we must
have is the everlasting wiping out Of
existence of the crowned heads of
Germany and Austria. and a peace
secured at an international table in
Berlin with American troops, one on
each side of the, kaiser, bayonets
fixed and leveled at the very vitals
of subdued ruler
That peace talk OF Bill, the kaiser,
is about as distasteful as is the cry
"komrade" which came from some
of the Huns who gave the cry and
then dealt death to the "Komrades. -
to whom they had made their ap-
pealS.

KEEP FAITH WITH YANKs

This was part of the wise philosophy
of the women in Irish folk lore, and
1t is now rich in wartime symbolism
That the Allied sword is not being
permitted to rust is evidenced in the
recent victories on the western front
Firearms are bright and shining, and
the enemy is on the run. There must
be no relaxing of the military pro.
gram. American soldiers must be
kept going in a steady stream that
the Allied forces may push on to a
quicker victory.
These men must be fed. The civil
ian's spade must not rust The great
er our accomplishment in putting
American soldiers in the European
battlefield the greater is the civilian
responsibility to keep their bodies fit
and their spirits buoyed.
American agriculture has had ban
ner year. The patriotic response OF
the farmers coupled with favorable
weather conditions has increased enor-
mously the cereal production so that
all fear of famine has been removed.
Equally patriotic has been the re-
sponse in the planting of war gar
dens. Recent reports on the planting
for 1918 show 5.2S5.OOO food plots or
an increase over last year of 81 per
cent. The estimated value of these
food products is S525, 100000. or so per
cent increase over last year.
This is no time. however. to relax
either in production or saving. This
years bountiful harvest may be fol-
lowed by correspondingly poor one
next year. More men will gradually
leave the fields for the army, and the
paapfinn will Ia falf at 81
harvest Now is the time to prepare
for this by keeping up the conserva-
ton program and building up sur
plus for possible leaner days ahead.
Equal in Importance to the sword
and spade is to keep the thought OF
the American people free from rust.
The collective thought of the nation
must be pitched on high place and
concentrated on the one goal-a con-
elusive peace.
year ago last April America sent
word that she was coming. And she
has made good Her men are there in
rapidly increasing numbers and the
allied fighters now know that her
sword will not be allowed to rust.
The morale of both soldiers and
civilians is based largely on being
well fed That America is ready and
willing TO share her food was shown
in the wheat saving last year. She
not only decreased her own consump-
tion to meet the European demands.
but she increased her production Of
all cereals.
Americas sword and spade have in
jected new hope, and the thoughts OF
the American people must not now be
allowed to rust Europe has faith in
us. and we must maintain this faith.

British Pacific Island Fed
Grafton Is Now Proposed

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. Cor
respondence of The Associated Press).- =
Pronouncement by Arthur J. Balfour,
British Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. shat Germany's colonies will
not be returned to her after the war
revives in Australia and New Zealand
animated discussion Of the future of
all the islands in the Pacific south of
the equator.
Whatever conclusion is reached by
the Allies at the peace conference as
20 the disposition Of German New
Guinea and German Samoa, not to men
ton the Marshall, Caroline and La
drone groups, it is generally admitted
that an entire recasting Of the various
administrations Of the British islands
is needed to develop their great poten-
tial wealth, afford security for trads
and insure adequate defence.
It is believed that federation Of
all the British archipelago, under a
central authority having it's seat Of
government at the most convenient
centre, will eventuate after the war.
Thus, in effect, new state would be
created, which might be called the
British Pacific Federation and might
be administered by governor
general or high commissioner. Such
d governor general or high commits
sioner would not be concerned with the
local governmental affairs of any par
ticular group but with the federation
as a whole. He might be assisted by
council composed of appointed Of
ficials, representatives elected by each
island group, and trade commissioners
representing Great Britain, Australia,
New Zealand end Canada. Local leg
islatures would, under such scheme
as this, nave as large a measure Of
government as compatible with
the proportion Of whites to South Sea
islanders and Asiatics. incapable at
present of government.
1t is nointed out here, however, that
if the British islands are federated,
means of communication between them
must be provided in order that their
administration and general welfare
may obtain. Existing steamer services
radiate from Sydney, in Australia, and
Auckland, in New Zealand, but groups
served by any one line have no con-
Meeting link with adjacent islands
served by other lines, or with China
and India, by way of Sydney.
Attention is called to the now we'll
known fact that just prior to the war
Germany was engaged in linking up
her Pacific island possessions with the
East, with a view to monopoly OF the
copra trade, and it is argued from this
that if there should be a comprehen
sive British steamship service with
SingapOyc at one end and New Zealand
at the other. insurng a continuous sup
ply of Asiatic labor for the islands, it
would greatly contribute to the ma
terial benefit of the proposed fedora
ton.
Not only will German New Guinea, or
Kaiser Wilhelm Land, and German
Samoa be disposed of at the peace
cable, but the exceedingly valuable
phosphate island. Nauru; the German
Solomons. the Bismarck Archipelago,

fOcm,sshl I9S. New York Tribune Inca
ByRLIN (Via Holland>, Dec. 2.-The
Bclsheviki are circulating III alleged
aTreaty of Alliance Between Germany
spd Japan in an effort to expose the
aggressive, imperialistic schemes Of the
caeifst government that included
Scheidemaan. The "treaty" is alleged
70 Nave been drawn up while Prince
Max was Chancellor.
TIE "document" is couched in per
5ect diplomatic isrxon and is insinu
stinglv made up with articles and y
memorandum attached. The draft is
cunning and yet, if an official forgery,
Il is clumsy in one essential point, for
while 1t is easy 80 see that Germsny
would make an excellent bargain by it,
the document seems to credit Japan
not only with perhdy worthy Of the
HohenzDlIerns, but guillibility alto
sether unwarranted by her record.
The draft OF the treaty" it is
stated, has been approved and initiated
by representatives of both Germany
and Japan and merely awaited ratiti-
cation when the German revolution
broke out.
The treaty" presupposes Russia as
the third contracting party that is to
be cleansed of Bolshevism and restored
as 3 great power under the leadership
OF Germany.
Some of the clauses of this bogus
instrument are:
Germany is to share the privileges
and concessions secured by Japan from
Russia in Central Asia and Persia, as
we'll as the Japanese privileges and
concessions in Southern China, to the
exclusion Of all other powers.
Japan is TO support indirectly Ger
man interests at the peace conference
and is to promote Il Russo German
military, political and economic rein
surance treaty.
"In return, Germany is TO conclude
with Japan secret military and naval
convention against the aggressive in
tentions of America and England. Par
ticuars are to be settled after con-
clusion of peace"
The memorandum attached to the
treaty says it is the work OF former
Japanese Ambassador to Berlin, who
is alleged to be in Berlin now. 1t ex-
plains Germany's downfall as "due to
her policy of a Western orientation,
based upon futile hope of a fair peace
with England, whereas an Eastern
orientation would have established q
bridge across Russia to Japan. forced
England to make peace, and constituted
grave menace to America.
Scheidemann has since unofficially de.
MED the existence of this treaty.
