OF the total of 1,057,363 men GER

listed as involuntary conscripts-

Even though this number of men
could be reduced by so per cent by
increased efficiency and standardiza-
ton, the number required is still
staggering. Consider. also. the over
seas transportation problem as relat-
ed to material only and without ref
erence to personnel and it's mainten-
ance. The transportation of finish
ed planes. properly Grated, with the
necessary spares. accessories, and

lem, in view of the ituation in ship

40 to so Men Required for Each Air
plane in Active Service.

In a statement issued by Howard
E. Coffin. chairman of the Aircraft
Production Board, is the following:
I'm discussing the accomplishments
of the air service in the consumma
tion of the army program, it will be
well to point out the impossibility
of certain proposals enthusiastically
and persistently put forward by word
of mouth and in the press. We have
seen and heard much of the proposal
of 100000 airplanes- to be provided
by the United States within the next
year. In a country where one great
industry produces 100000 motor
cars per year, the fabrication of 1907
600 planes might seem easy, but ac-
tual figures based upon three years of
practical experience in the war show
that there are now between 40 and
so men of the auxiliary services re-
quired for each active machine at the
front. If this same ratio should be
adhered to in our service, it would
mean that some 100000 men
would be required in our aeronauti-
cal department on foreign soil be-
tween our ports of debarkation and
the fighting front.

en-, $1,000 to $1,000.
Testing positions. engineers of
tests or ordnance material, $1,000 to
$2400 per year.

German Newspaper Asks for Clear
Statement of Peace Terms.

From uncensored sources the COM
mittee on public information has re-
ceived editorial comment on the
presidents recent message in the
Frankfurter Zeitung, a liberal organ
with large circulation throughout the
German empire. The following para
graph appears in the translation:
1.-THE foundation for the peace ne
gotiations has not yet been found
but we have approached much nearer
to 1t. Wilson seeks a way out of the
war and does so in a manner not en-
tirely in accord with US. We see no
reason for exposing ourselves any
longer to the charge of lack of clarity
about our war aims. Germany and
her allies should come out openly
with their terms. Then perhaps it
will be seen that a continuation of
the war can be avoided and the re-
sistance of the governments to the
desire for pearce of their peoples can
be overcome"

National Forest Grazing Privileges
Must Not Be Sold.

The SECRETARY of Agriculture is
grazing livestock on the National
Forests that the payment of any bon
us or allowance for waiver of the
grazing privileges in connection with
sales of livestock or ranch properties
will be cause for cancellation of the
permit.
One of the regulations governing
the privileges provides that permits
will be granted only for the exclusive
use and benefit of the owners of the
stock. Permits so issued will be
forfeited if sold or transferred in
any manner or for any consideration.
However, in order to protect permit
tees, who may wish to dispose of
their stock. against losses which sac
rifice sales would bring because of
no permit rights, the custom has
been to allow the new owner to con-
tinue to use the National Forest
ranges used by the former permittee.
Grazing officials of the Forest Serv-
ice point out that without transfer of
the permit with the purchased stock,
holders of permits who wish to go out
of business or dispose of a portion
OF their stock would not be able to
obtain a fair price for their property.
The procedure all the way through
has been to prevent the securing of
anything approaching vested rights
in the publis properly either by indi-
viduals or companies.
Owing to the great and ever grow
| ing demand for the use of Forest
ranges, which now in most localities
is beyond their carrying capacity, the
grazing privilege has become of large
value. However, because the gov
eminent applies a system of regulat-
ed use to encourage production and
promote the upbuildIng of the coun-
try, thus securing the greatest good
to the'greatest number. only a mod
crate charge is made for the grazing
permits. The grazing officials, there
fore, believe it would be entirely I'M
fair for the government to fonego a
maximum return for the use of its
ranges and taen allow those granted
the privilege of the use to collect this
value from others for surrendering
the privilege. Such practice, they
maintain, would make competitive
disposal by the government of the
grazing privilege the only logical
course.
Secretary Houston points out in
his notice to holders of permits that
the payment of bonuses or the giving
of any consideration to secure the
fling of waiver of the grazing priv
ilege would be consideration for q
privilege the granting of which is
wholly within the discretion of the
government and for which no one IL
entitled to receive compensation. ANY
such payment. therefore, will be suf
ficient cause for the revocation O.

US WILL SEIZE
ALE. WHEAT MAY |
state Administrator Innes Asks Farm
ers to Market 1917 Crop and Save
Government Requisit;cns.

Because Of the great need Of wheat
by the Allies the u. s. Food Admins
tration will seize all wheat which is
not sold by May l. Following is the
text of an order issued by Walter p.
Innes, U. s. Food Administrator for
Kansas, to the farmers of this state:
1T is now necessary for the govern
ment to demand the immediate deliv.
cry Of all wheat to the market.
1T is estimated that Kansas farmers
are holding about two and half mil
lion bushels of wheat from the 1917
crop and some few scattered lots from
the 1916 harvest.
"All wheat must be marketed before
May /. Holders of wheat are herby re-
quested to advise this office at once
II for any reason they will be unable
to market their wheat before the time
limit. Each case will be investigated
and II reasons are deemed sufficient
extra time will be given.
Failure to deliver or have permit
from this office before May / will
be considered sufficient reason by
the government to requisition any and
all wheat held by the farmer.
Voluntary marketing of the wheat
10 urged as u patriotic duty. Pro.
ducers will thus tighten theburdens OF
government officials and very mater
tally help to win the war.
Where requisition is necessary
charges for transportation from the
farm to the elevator will be deducted
from the price of the wheat at the ele-
vator, and wide publicity will be given
to the seizure.
1--WE have a few instances where
farmers are boarding their wheat out
Of desire to obstruct the government.
It is not fair for them to prejudice
loyal members Of our community.
Our Kansas farmers, we know, will
respond promptly with their character
istic loyalty.

and died at Liberal, Kansas, April IL,
1918, aged IA years, 9 months and II
days.
She was just blooming into young
womanhood when came the call to
the home above. Possessed of a
bright, sunny disposition, always
thoughtful of others, she endeared
herself to all. She was converted
during the Rayburn meeting and
was consistently living according to
the teachings Of the master.
She was i'll but few days and it
was not dreamed that her condition
was serious. She had an attack of
measles WHICH run into pneumonia,
and in few hours the dread malady
had done its work.

NEW DELIVERY SYSTEM
PLEASING TO GROCERS
Results in Better Service, Besides
Saving in Expense

After having talked to several of
the grocerymen of Liberal, we find
that the new delivery system is meet
ing with favor.
One of the grocers told us that
Saturday instead of making mileage
of forty to fifty miles, as formerly,
his delivery car made the day in
something less than ten miles.
Another feature of the new system
is that the town trade is cared for be-
fore noon Saturday to great extent
and the merchants are better enabled
to care for the country trade in the
afternoon. This will have the effect
of making Liberal a good place to
trade and should encourage better
business for the town.
We found a real brother for the
new system in w. E. Wilson the Sec
ond Street grocer. Mr.. Wilson was
loud in his praise for the system. He
said that under no consideration
would he go back to the old way.
The people of the town are taking
kindly to the arrangement, and no
great inconvenience has resulted.
The grocery men have asked us to
mention that orders should be placed
day ahead of time whenever pos
sible that the goods may be put up
ready when the delivery starts.
