NO END OF war UNTIL
OBJECTS ARE ATTAINED
CBy Associated Press.)

London, Jan. SIT may be a vain
belief on my part, but / hold ii very
strongly, that the United States and
ourselves, two great cousin nations,
are even by themselves in a position
to bring about the complete fulfill
ment OF the pledges that we have
given"
This was one Of the assertions
made by Sir Edward Carson, minis
ter without portfolio in the British
War cabinet, at a meeting here for
the purpose Of launching a society
to promote closer relations with
Rumania. Although speaking under
the shadow of the news OF an armis-
tice on the Rumanian front, Sir
Edward declared that the entente
allies would continue in their
determination to carry out their duty
towards Rumania.
II know of no end in this war that
is possible without maintaining the
rights Of Rumania and Serbia just
as much as the rights of Great
Britain and her empire said Sir
Edward. Il repeat the determine
ton OF his majesty's government
that we will go on to the end with
unity until we have attained the OBJ
jects with which We entered into the
war. With our help Serbia,
Rumania and Greece, the most nat
ural alliance in the whole work,
ought to build up a fabric which will
make not only for the liberty and life
of their own people but will greatly
help in the solution of the problems
that will arise in the near east"

GREAT SHORTAGE
OF SEED CORN

The urgency Of the seed corn sit
uation was considered at a meeting
Of the Clay county marketing COM
mittee held at the office Of the Farm
Bureau Thursday afternoon. 1t was
decided to urge all farmers 10 buy
seed corn at once as the supply OF
good seed is less than one-third OF
the amount that will be required.
It Is estimated that from 5000 TO g.
900 bushels will be needed by the
farmers OF Clay county to plant the
usual acreage. Prices of seed are
advancing, and Northwestern Dent
is now quoted at $40 per bushel, with
other varieties selling at $3.50.

keting committee presided at the
meeting yesterday and others who
attended were: T. b. Evans, Haw-

ECONOMIST LOOKS ON
WILSON AS WORLD LEADER
British Paper Thinks Russia's De-
Election Never Would Have oe-
CURED Had He Spoken Sooner.

London, Jan. 5.-President Wilson
is praised by The Economist as the
man who can express clearly and
without bombast the fine ideals
which are the real war aims Of the
allies" The article says that, had
such a spokesman been found earlier,
the sympathy and support of Russia
might permanently have been en-
listed on the side OF the allies. The
paper asserts also that President
Wilson agrees with Lord Lans-
downe's much discussed statement
that the allies have no desire to deny
to Germany her place among the
great commercial communities of the
world.
I'VE find" said The Economist,
that we'll informed opinion in the
city is very strong on this point
that it would be very difficult If not
impossible, to impose an economic
boycott on Germany in time of
peace. Such threats have the unfor-
tunate effect Of stimulating the war
interest of the commercial classes in
Germany when their instincts and
interests impel them so strongly to-
ward the reasonable peace that
President Wilson offers"

was granted over objections made
by representatives of the United

respective cities.

PHOTOGRAPHERS
Do Big BUSINESS
Soldiers Have Fondness for
for Having Their Like
nesses Pictured

Behind the British Lines il
France, Dec. 5.-QCorrespondence Of
The Associated PTess.)-One of the
fiourishing trades in the little
towns and villages behind the line
in France is the photographers. The
soldier has universal fondness FOL
having his picture taken.
With the British Tommy, the visit
to the village camera man is a regu-
lar event of the greatest Importance
and requires great preparations. He
borrows the best pair of puttees in
his section, or, better still, a pair of
field service boots, brushes his
clothes with great care, cleans his
belt and bandolier, and polishes his
buttons.
II he belongs to a mounted corps,
his spurs and cutting whip will
make a great display, for although
everybody agrees that in this war
the infantry is the most important
branch, there is still a glamor at
taching to the mounted man, even
IL his mount be only a cart horse or
a mule. Equestrian portraits are
much in demand, it is said, by the
girls at home.
AS often as not, Tommy gets
