The armistice is not peace itself
1t merely brings peace nearer. 1t
stops actual fighting for period of
SO days, but hostilities do not cease
Indeed the armistice can be denounc-
ed-and fighting resumed-by one
of the contracting parties on 4S hours
notice. The armistice is a military
state of affairs, and while it is on we

all of our soldierly duties. There

in shape and ready to perform them.
There is lot of work to be done
in policing the newly taken over ter

much patience and much restraint.
1t will hold many of us here for quite

all the world.

LOUIS TIMM KILLED

Last Thursday morning a message
came from the War Department at
Washington, announcing that Louis
Timm, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Timm
had died of pneumonia on October
3Oth.
The young man had been in France
since July, having left here for army
service on May %, this year.
Louis Timm was born November
"a, 1895, and spent most of his life
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Timm, north of town. His parents,
seven brothers and five sisters mourn
his death besides large number Of
warm personal friends.
One brother Hugo, has also been
in France since December of last
year. A letter received from him
Monday says that he was in hospi-
tai. The nature Of his illness is not
known, but it is sincerely hoped that
it is not serious.
Thus another young man from this
vicinity has laid down his life for his
country.-Sanborn Sentinel.

SUBSTITUTES FOR
WHEAT WITH ALL
4 FLOUR PURCHASES

p Commencing today. purchasers of
white flour must also buy an equal
amount of some wheat substitute ac-
cording to rulings by the state food
conservator Robert NJ. Scoville as sub
n.itted through D. Fairchild Wheeler
of this city. 1t is estimated that Co.
600 pounds of wheat flour will be
saved each week by this order. Po-
.tatoes are recommended as a substi
tute at the basis of four pounds of
potatoes for one of flour Owing to
the scarcity of potatoes, however, it
will be difficult to comply with the
demand for them in this proportion.

THE BRITISH ALLIANCE

The Labor party in Great Britain
advocates the application Of an Amer
lean principle to the British Empire
This is the right of people to deter
mine for themselves their government
Home Rule All Round" is the
phrase. India should not be exploited
to the benefit of Londoners; Canada
must remain independent as regards
domestic policy.
But policies affecting the whole en-
pire must be formulated by some CEN
tral body. The Labor party, however
does not believe that this body should
be the British Parliament as it is now
constituted. There should be cabinet
ministers from overseas. An Imperial
Council, representing all constituents
of the British alliance, should discuss
matters of imperial policy, but only
with the power of making recommen-
dations for the simultaneous consider
alton of the various autonomous local
legislatures of what s1ould increasing
ly take the form of an alliance of free
nations"

A CONSTRUCTIVE WAR MEASURE

The United States is building up the
largest force of commercial experts
ever stationed in foreign countries in
it's search of the world for ship ton
mage to help defeat the Central Pow
ers. They represent the Department
of Commerce and the War Trade
Board
These experts have three principal
duties: To prevent goods reaching
Germany; to guide the course of
trade. and to release as much tonnage
as possible Hence they will come
into closer touch with all the worlds
trade than ever before. A knowledge
of Americas products and trade ideals
will be more broadly disseminated.
This is war measure, but il cannot
help increasing Americas commerce
after the war With the hue and cry
that is daily raised against the icon
oclasm of the present. it is good to
find a measure that falls into the class
of permanently constructive work.

NJ. u. GRADUATE AN AVIATOR
Captain Abe Tabachnik Writes OF
Early Flights at the Front.

Candy and cigarettes are the desire
of the soldiers in France. That is
what Captain Abe Tabachnik of St
Louis, a graduate of the School OF
Engineering, writes to his parents.
|, Captain Tabachnik was graduated
from the University two years ago
Soon after. he Joined the Army and
was sent to the Mexican border When
the present war broke out, he was
sent to France in the infantry, but
the demand for airman was so great
that the Government made fiiers of
many of the commissioned officers of
the regular Army.
He writes that he is not allowed to
tell many OF. his interesting experien-
ces, but he relates one. THE Huns
came over on a bombing expedition,
but the English and French were
there to receive them and drove
them back to their kennels. Then the
Allies proceeded to bomb one of the
fair cities OF the Huns, Metz, and all
returned safely. 1t was a beautiful
sight. A large star rocket was lit to
display the landing grounds to the
planes in the air. Then, when an
airman would get near enough to see
it, he would light an electric light in
the air. 1t gave the appearance Of
star in flight across the heavens.
