GeTmaDy's Moral Standards

The revelations that continue to be
made concernig the German propa-
ganda in this country before the war
give further enlightment on that ma
TONS moral standards. We know now
from testimony taken in New York that
the Berlin government was 10 the bust

opinion. 1t bought one New York
newspaper. 1t employed an advertis
ing bureau at great expense. 1t man

dollars. They spent more than that
aud did not get anything out Of it,"
he says, and he expresses the opinion
that # his advice had been followed, q,
we could have arranged that America
would never have entered the war;"
To suppose that Americas honor
could have been bought for so million
dollars is something Of an assumption.
But the amazing thing is that a gov
eminent was ready TO spend money
Iavishly to influence sentiment in a ma
tion with which it was supposedly on
friendly terms.
Just how different American stand
ards are from German may be inferred
by anyone who tries TO conceive OF the
American government using SO million
dollars to buy newspapers and control
opinion in Germany under correspond
ing circumstances. There are things
10 which no sell respecting nation will
stoop. There was literally nothing to
which Germany would not stoop.--

The War Value OF Time

As our second year Of belligerency
advances the activities at Washington
appear 10 be bent more and more up
on keeping up on the war" instead
Of getting ahead Of il. As a factor in
the equation Of victory the value Of
time has not been accurately appraised.
1t was the biographer Of Colonel House
W, believe, who quoted him as saying
las, spriug that President Wilson had
three years in which to win the war.
Politically speaking that was true, but
in this matter it Is military not political
mathematics in which all reckonings
should be made. Because the presi'
dents term does not expire until
March, 1921, We are not warranted in
assuming that he has until that date ID

He himself has said it. They vii
prosecute it until 1t is won, whether i
be under the presidency Of Mr.. Wilson
or Of a successor, whatever the cost il
time or life or treasure. That Is thel
determination, but it is not their de
sire that the war shall continue one
day longer or that it shall cost ont
life or one dollar more than is essen
tial to the attainment Of the common

TO PREFER LIGHTER HOGS
No Repetition Of Request for Heavy
Feeding Is Likely.

Last fall, owing to the large amount
of soft corn, there was a general heavy
feeding OF hogs, with a consequent
large increase in their weight when
they arrived at market. Foreign or.
Gers were filled with fatter and heav.
Ter hogs than the European popula-
tions had been accustomed to, and for
eign buying agencies now request a
return to the customary weights, ac.
cordlng to an announcement of the
Missouri Division of the Food Admin.
iStration.
From the present outlook, swine pro.
ducers may anticipate preference for
lighter weights Of hogs, the announce.
ment says, This country is not likely
to have to repeat any request for
heavy feeding.
This situation was fully discussed
by the Agricultural Advisory Commit.
tee, which met in Washington In a re.
cent conference with officials Of the
Food Administration and the Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.

Germany Must be Punished

A cert1in type Of propaganda with
an obvious tenderness for Berlin is be.
ginning to inquire plaintively why we
should punish the German people by
ostracism after the war. Let bygones

forgive and forget, and receive the
Germans back into the bosom Of good
world socitey."
There is certain speciOusness a.
bout this cry that may catch the un-
wary and ultra'sentemental, but we
believe the general feeling will be-:
Embrace viper rather than Germany.
Every man who relurns from the
front after the war will be able to give
a hundred reasons why there should
be no maudlin weakness about the
postbellum treatment Of the Tuetons.
The long records CT the Hun outrages,
criems and ireacheiies will cry out
against leicency. The sailors boycott
already ordered By the powerful British

that a large number Of the mills which

much good will come from having met
together and discussed the many
school problems which are Of vital in
terest to both teacher aud director.
Especially was the subject Of our
var &C civities discussed with a real
patriotic spirit. Many Of the teachers
subscribed freely for good journals and
magazines in order to keep well posted
during these history making days.

recent Red Cross and Thrift Stamp
