BUST THE BUNGLERS.

"a year ago, with great burst of enthusiasm,
congress voted six hundred and forty million
for aircraft production. That has been spent
and obligations totalling two hundred million
more have been entered into. The administra-
ton is now asking congress for four hundred
million additional money for aircraft work.
The Liberty motor is said to be something of a
deception and the whole aircraft program has
been declared by senators in debate to be tine
tured with ineffciency, if nothing worse. The
money may be forthcoming the administra-
ton has asked; but it might be well to make
sure that the persons who have been concerned
in the wastage which has already taken place
shall not havea further chance to bungle so vital
matter and that their derehctions of the past
shall be properly exposed and punished.

PRICE OF SUBSTITUTES.

Burlington Hawk-Dye: Patriotic
housewives have long been in pre-
dicament
Even if they are not using the
amount of wheat flour that is allotted.
a large majority are really anxious
to use as much substitute as possible
Very many are anxious to join the
total abstinence from wheat move.
Then husband comes home, after
talking and thinking over Liberty
bonds. war saving stamps, county
war fund, the rent coal for next
winter, the gas bill, electric lights and
"a new lawn mower, to say nothing OF
Ia few other calls upon his shrinking
bank account and suggests, or mildly
hints, that savings of few dollars
each month ON the grocery bill would
help out elsewhere.
This is war time and we must fg-
ure on eating less" says friend hus-
band.
But the price OF wheat substitutes
lis far and away ahead of the price OF
wheat flour. and so this saving is
well, wen leave It to the housewives.
Comes now word that price of sub
stitutes must go down. It is orders
from the food administration in Wash
ington.
The news breaks like ray of sun
shine on a cloudy day for the house
wife.
But the word goes out that this re-
duction Of from ten to twenty per
cent. in some cases, is not to be eff
fective In Iowa just now because
many dealers have stocked up on sub
stitutes at the higher price and 1t
would be manifestly unjust to COM
pei them to lose money. That IS prob
ably all right Somebody has ex-
plotted the demand for substitutes,
but 1t doubtless ia very difficult. IL not
impossible, to find out just who this
somebody is in a given case So, for
the present, the patriotic ultimate
consumer Is to pay the bin and is
given the consolation of knowing that,
when present stocks are exhausted.
the price OF substitutes will be much
less.
1t might not be amiss to have an
inventory taken Of all present stocks
in each community and for the food
administration to see to it that price
adjustments are made just as soon
as any additional substitutes are pur-
chased This would bring the price
down gradually to the figure demand
ed by the food administrator at Wash
ington, but It would bring 1t down

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MEN.

Congressman Madden, of Chicago, in re-
cent speech brought out the curious fact that
the smaller the matter the longer and more bit
terly congress haggles and splutters it.
Speaking of a trivial expenditure under discus
sion, the Illinois representative remarked that
If it were a million-dollar proposition word
would be said against it; but as it happens to
involve only ten OF fifteen dollars, half day
will of course be spent in objections There is
never any trouble, he continued, when it comes
to billion dollars. That goes over the heads
of most of the members. If million is in
votHed that goes over the heads of a great
many; but when it comes down to ten dollars of
course quite few object.
The fact appears to be that the average man.
in congress or out, is incapable of thinking in
seven figures, but has had long experience in
thinking in two. Small sums are well within
his cogitative capacity. He knows what a dime
or dollar is, and his mind works rapidly and
surely when such OUTLAWS are concerned But
great sums daze him His mentality fails to
grasp them and appears to be paralyzed by their
immensely. Hence it is that gigantic appro-
priation like six hundred and forty millions for

United Press staff correspondent, who
WAS in Russia when the revolution
was on. today wrote the following
analysis OF the situation:l
[By William g. Shepherd
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May H.
Revolution against Germany was in
evitable in Unatnia. The situation
in UAIainia has been as follows:
The Ukrainian republic was bunk
republic. It was formed by Ukrain-
ian land owners. With great shouts
UMainian people off their feet and
organized what they, the land own
ers, chose to call republic. saw
these organizers of che Ukrainian
republic, when they came to Petro-
grad to ask American Ambassador
Francis to recognize their alleged re-
public They formed silk hat
squad. OF course, Ffancis declined
to agree with their request
The purpose Of these land owners
in UHainia, was to stop the course
of the Russian revolution and prevent
the division Of their land among the
peasants. BY making a traitorous
peace with Germany, they brought
the German army into Ukrainia, hop
ing thus with the aid Of the kaisars
forces to crush the course Of the rev
olution in Uhainia and thus save
their property.
Long ago the Ukrainian peasants
saw through the trick which had
been played upon them by the treach-
erous Ukrainian land owners who had
sold Ukrainia to Germany. During
the winter when food was scarce and
fighting was difficult, Ukradnia peas
ants were forced to submit to the
land owners government But every
one who has been familiar with CON
ditions in UHainia has been expect
ing that with the opening Of spring
and the consequent Improvement in
the food situation, the UHainian
peasants would revolt both against
their own traitorous government and
against German troops The latest
reports from both Germany and
Ulrainia indicate that these expecta-
lions are being fulfilled. The peas
ants of Ukrainia are learning that to
make the Russian revolution effec-
tive for themselves they must help
the rest Of the allies to whip Ger
many.
1t is a safe assumption that peas

r''s up TO Us.

That eminent strategist, Senator Lewis, OF
Illinois, asserts that If the allies do not stem the
German drive by the first Of July, the allied
navies will be hurled against the foe. There is
no doubt about this. IF the German drive Is
not checked by that date, the Huns will be at
the channel and the warfare will be transferred
to the sea, inevitably. Then, upon the ocean,
the fight will go on until the United States IS
able to throw expeditionary forces in Large
numbers upon European soil and to make the
contest once more struggle between land
troops. The latest news from the western front
creates hope that the great drive has been or
soon will be definitely checked But, no mat
ter which alternative prevails, the burden upon
America remains the same. We must win the
war.

GOOD NEWS FROM MEXICO.

So much of the news coming out OF Mexico Is
depressing that it viii not do to overlook en-
comraging reports concerning conditions IN the
rich and restless country to the south. Mexico
has been given an opportunity to work out her
own salvation, and, according to Albert b. BAR
maud, a New York City district manager OF the
bureau Of foreign and domestic commerce, she
is doing very well.
Recent reports from Mexico have been con-
flicting Apparently it is difficult for people
living there, or visiting the country in search OF
information, to draw correct conclusions. But
trade figures are significant and they tell their
own story So it is worth while noting that Mr..
Barnaud says that the United States sent to
Mexico IN 1917 more exports than to any other
Latina American republic except Cuba and Ar
gentina. This is pretty good showing for
country which has been represented In some re,
ports as going backward at high speed.
Moreover, Mr. Barnaud says: ssMexico IS
solving it's financial problems, meeting. the
heavy cost of the revolution and rebuilding its
commerce without the aid of foreign loans. The
country is slowly but surely getting grip on It
SELF This is precisely what men with conf
dence in Carranza said Mexico would do under
his leadership, and what other men declared
could not be accomplished while the present
Mexican executive remained In power. But
no matter what may be thought OF MI. Bar
maud s view of Mexican progress, there will be
little dissent from his statement that never
more than at present have American business
men realized the mutual dependence OF the
United States and Mexico" No doubt Mexico
needs our friendship more than we need her
good will, but the argument for mutual depend
ence is not based on sentiment Our southern
neighbor has vast natural resources, and 1t Is
pointed out that they include raw materials OF
which this country is greatly in need. Tho
permanent strengthening of trade relations
will be in the interest of both countries.
It is only question of time when Mexico
will be very large contributor to the wealth
of the world. It is to present advantage
and will be even more to our future advantage
to work for the establishment of lasting
friendship with the Mexican people.
