Paris Don't Think Much of 1t.

Paris, Oct. 22.-The German re-
ply to the note of President Wilson
wa sreceived here too late for the
afternoon papers, but was eagerly
discussed in official circles by all
shades Of politicians.
Among the deputies of all forms
of political belief the opinion was
expressed first Of all, it betrayed no
sincere desire for repentance on the
part of the German governmnt, but
ather state of depression among
the German people 0 naccount of the
success of the allied arms. As a
whole the note is equivocal and tor
tuous and platitudinously phrased
for the purpose of further quibbling
and argument. Nowhere is the
opinion held that the German reply
forms real basis for the conclusion
Of an armistice as bais of discus
sion for peace.

London, Oct. 21.--The following is
the note of the German reply in sec
tiOns:
Section /. In accepting the terms
for the evacuation Of occupied ter
ritory the German government has
started on the assumption that the
procedure of this evacuation and of
the conditions of an armistice should
be left to the military chiefs in COM
mand and their military advisers on
the ground and actually in touch
with the situation and to both sides
to agree on the basis of the ar
rangements as to guarantee of the
standard of such evacuation.
Second 2. The German govern
ment suggests, the appointment
of neutral commission to say
whether it has been guilty of the
wanton destruction of territory in
the occupied territory. 1t does not

REPORT ON MERITS
OF N. G. ABRASIVES
Tar Heel Senators Urge War Board
Of Industries to Make it Public.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Senators
Simmons and Overman are to make
demands of the War Industries
Board that the report of the inves-
tigation into the abrasive supply of
western North Carolina be made
public. The Department of Interior
sent its agents to the mountains of
the State to determine the quality
and quantity of the naural abrasives
with the view of utilization for war
purposes. The report has been la
belled "confdential' by the War In
dustries Board, although it has been
read by some members OF Congress
Col. S. a. Jones, of Waynesyille.
who has been untiring in his efforts
to present the merits of the noun
tain abrasives, does not fail to ex-
press his opinion of the attitude of
the War Industries Board. The
board, however, contends that the
supply of artificial abrasives is ade-
0uate to the war needs and that if
Waoid be useless investment to
tap new sources for abrasiyes.
Western North Carolina folk are
claiming that the War Industries
Board is patronizing New York
manufacturer of artificial abrasiyes
almost exclusively.
The report of the investigators
that visited western North Carolina
as agents of the Department of In
terror, ii is understood, substanti-
ates the presentation of the abrasive
supply as presented by Colonel
Jones. The supply is almost limit
less, and as North Carolina Sena-
tor expressed it enough to suppIv
ne world" The tilt between tbe
North Carolina Senators and the
Var Industries Board may deyelop
an interesting controversy.

London, Oct. 21.-The German reply to Presi-

THE WHY OF FOOD SAVING

People make very few mistakes about
food saving that there ale
loo,o0o,e0 people in the country. they
not only mean right but they do right
in most essentials. One misunderstand-
ing, however, constantly crops up, name
ly, that we are saving food on the
ground of economy alone. This. OF
course, is not true and it is not fair
TO judge the success OF the food admin
istration S efforts by the trend of food
prices
The object of food saving is to pro
vide for shipment to the allies enough
concentrated foodstuffs to keep them
fed and fighting, even though it costs
us some money. War does not seem to
Toe an economical business. and along
these lines, as in everything else, we
are prepared to 90 the limit.
Thrift enters into food saving, out
not in the personal, penny -pinching
economies that 50 many persons ms
take for thrift. The food-saving pro
gram is steadily developing economies
such as elimination Of waste in grow
ing, shipping, and distributing food
atuiTs, the correction of unaconomic
habits, the suppression of boarding and
speculation, and universal whole
hearted investigation of costs in every
industry and trade, for the purpose
Of setting right methods that have
long been wrong.
Mistaken ideas Of thrift hurt food
saving in two ways:
First, people are apt to say, .'What
Is the use!' and assume that we are
not succeeding in the food program if
they can not discern definite reductions
IN living expenses Actually the re-
auctions are often there, as a direct re-
suit OF food control. But even if thew
were not, this is an unfair measure d
food-saving.
Second, the false thrift which leads
to parsimony in expenditures for ne
cessities is most disturbing to the pur-
chasing and distributing industries Of
the country at time when they are
passing through crisis, and in the
end results in no actual saving. For
rarsimony simply means deprivation to-
day, which must be offset tomorrow by
heavier expenditure for the basic es.
ntials OF life-and worse than that,
perhaps TO make good slipping back
m health or living standards.

While il is natural for men to look
back and say "there were giants in

the greatest man who ever represented
the Green Mountain state in national
councils, and he was the only resident
OF this state who was ever strongly sup
ported for the Republican nomination
for the presidency. When Edmunds
was at the head of the judiciary com
mittee and Morrill, head of the finance

more influential position than any
other state III the union in the upper
branch of our highest legislative BODY.
Mr.. Edmunds is still keen Of intellect
and interested il public affairs, and
from time to time terse comment comes
from him on questions Of national i'm

It is worth noting III this connection
that Vermont in that golden age won
prestige in the national councils on
great moral and economic issues. Sen

nelted with the great tariff system
which helped this nation to meet what
were then regarded as the enormous
expenses Of the Civil war. The Nor
rill tariff IS one Gf the milestones in
American progress and prosperity.
Senator Edmunds was recognized as
one OF the great constitutional authori-
