DR.. Phillips of Sanford, one of
the best known Florida sugar en-
thusiasts, in referring to the pres
ent vigorous discussion of the sug-
ar situation, says it is at the white
heat of interest, and he believes it
will result in the establishment of
a great sugar industry in this
state in the near future. We GER
tainly hope so, and, if it does, it
will be the biggest thing that has
been landed for Florida, as mil
lions of acres and dollars will be
involved, and best of all, the coun-
try will be given home sugar at a
reasonable price, and all they
want of this necessary commodity.

Save the Nut Shells
How They Will Help Win the
War

When the American people are
told of the simple ways in which
they can help in winning the war,
not few of them smile in an in
credulous manner. Now let them
smile at this latest statement.
The saving of the pits of april
cots, peaches, plums, dates, cher
ries and the saving of the shells
of Brazil nuts, hickory nuts, wal
nuts, and butter nuts will be a
help in winning the war. Of
course every one will ask how.
The answer is simple. Our scien-
lists have discovered that these
pits and shells of nuts, when burn
ed, make the best carbon obtaina-
BILE for use in gas masks. Some OF
our own soldiers have put the
mask to the supreme test in the
trenches "over there" The call
has gone out to every state for the
saving of fruit pits and nut shells.
What more patriotic way could
the children be employed during
the autumn months in Florida,
and the season is now upon us,
than to go to the woods and col
lect hickory nuts, which grow in
such abundance in some localities.
These can be collected in lots and
turned over to the local chapters
of the Red Cross. The secretaries
of the Red Cross will know just
what to do with them. Of course
the hickory nuts can be cracked
and the kernels extracted as far
as possible. The shells are as USE
lful broken as they are unbroken.
Here is an opportunity. for every
boy and girl to enlist in real war
work, and every donation of the
kind they make to the Red Cross
lis direct blow against German
warfare.
The hotels and restaurants have
already been asked to save the
pits from fruit used in such places,
and after drying them, to turn
them over to the Red Cross chap
tiers.
It is the little things that count
lin winning the war and this is one
of the very little things. The Boy
Scouts and all other patriotic or
CARNATIONS are urged by Federal
Food Administrator Braxton
IBeacham to enlist in this very pa
triotic work of procuring and saw
ling fruit pits and nut shells, in or
der that they may be. converted
Into carbon to fill the gas masks,
land protect our brave soldiers
from horrible suffering and death
on the battlefield. Every one can
help.

Peace Offer to France.

This new German peace offensive
seems designed, like those which have
gone before, to separate France from
her allies by appealing to the war
er than in any other allied nation, be-
cause the war is being fought on
French soil and French sacrifices are
heaviest. Relying upon this weari-
ness, the German will repeat, il he has
not already repeated, the offers made
integrity Of France and conceivably
some small territorial acquisition in
Alsace or Lorraine. Every effort will
be made, as 1t has been made in the
past, to convince the French that we
Americans will not come in sufficient
to save Paris. Every effort will be
made to foment any surviving jeal-
ousy between the French and the
British. Every appeal will be made
to any French selflshness or natural
instinct for self-preservation.
France implicitly. We can be assured
that the France of Clemenceau will
stand squarely with the allies of the
republic. Fortunately President Will
son is already on record unequiyo-
cally in the matter of Alsace-Lor-
that the first mission of the American
expeditionary force Is to assure the
defense of Paris, and the second the
reconquest of the lost French prov
inces.
Meantime. the obvious German ma
neuver which completely fooled the
allies a year ago. when the reichstag
resolution for peace without annexa-
tion was accepted by an overcredu-
lous world seeking an honorable end
to this hideous tragedy, is likely to
be repeated at any moment. AS Ger
man prospects worsen German pre-
tenses Of virtue and moderation are
bound to grow.

CROWN PRINCE AND
H|NDENBURG AT ODDS
One Favored Drive on Paris and
the Other Separation of
Enemy Forces.
BY PAUL SCOTT mowRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright. 1918.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. June
21.-In previous cable called atten-
fensives had a double objective, the
first of which was the separation of
the French and British armies by
reaching the English channel and the
second of which was Paris. 1 now
have reason to believe that this dou-
BILE objective. which, after all. entails
dispersion instead of concentration Of
strength. was due to divergence Of
views between Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and Crown Prince Fred
erick William.
The former. having a thoroughly
military mind, favored purely mil
itary objective. namely, the separation
Of the enemy's forces and then the
destruction of the enemy's armies one
after another. But the crown prince,
who has political as well as military
ambitions, seemed to be hypnotized
by the hope of taking the French cap
ital, upon which he has been casting
covetous eyes during four long years.
The Amiens and Flanders offensives
were planned according to Hinden-
burg's IDEAS but as during certain
moment Of the Amiens offensive the
way to Paris through the Disc valley
seemed to lie open to Gen. Won Hutier,
whose army is under the command of
the crown prince, the latter's old de-
sire to make a triumphant entry on
tho Champs Elysees was feverishly
quickened.
The Chemin des Danes offensive
seems to have been the crown princes
idea. 1t succeeded better than was
expected. The crown prince was,
therefore, confident that one more
blow on the Noyon-Montdidier front
would place Paris at his mercy. De-
spite Hindenburgs disapproval this
blow was attempted. 1t failed and
cost the crown prince heavy toll in
men.

value. an unmistakable influence upon
German conditions, but the war will
have 70 be won by fighting not by
miracles; by military triumph on the
battle front. and not by revolution in
the enemy lines behind it.
After almost four years of war the
German, in June. 1918, is further from
Paris than he was in September. 1914
He is no nearer to the channel than
in October, 1914. But, by contrast,
he still expects to reach both; he is
still unbeaten, and. at best, three
months Of fighting weather remain.
And when the fighting weather is
over. if the German cannot prevail
by murder, he will resume that peace
offensive which is, on the whole, more
dangerous.
The present omens are good. There
are reasons for even greater conf
dence than we have had at any time
since the present campaign began.
But these cotemporary advantages
have only one value-that is, to con-
tribute to making us fight harder and
work harder. We should not again
be caught off our guard by any
rumors of impending collapse in en-
emy nations. The war Is still to be
won by fighting.

BULGARIA AND TURKEY

Negotiations Start Without Hun

LONDON. juno 24.-Preliminary

correspondent at The Hague is in

ticipate in these separate negotia-
tions in the course of a few. days.
The recent speech in the reichstag

conversations between Bulgaria and
Turkey, which were begun on the
initiative OF King Ferdinand OF Bull

garian premier, is said to agree en-
tirely with the plan of King Fer
dinand to exact fulhllment OF Bull

BY FRANK H. sIMONDs.

It is an unmistakab1e fact that the
events Of the past two or three weeks
supply real and considerable basis for
optimism. Three months of the Ger
man offensive in the west have come
to an end, and the last German at
tack has been the weakest and the
most easily checked Of all. In Italy
the announcement Of the prime min
lister that the battle of the Pave may
now be considered an Italian victory
is an equally great cause for salts
faction.
Turning to the reports which come
for optimism. However greatly ex-
aggerated the rumors of internal dis
sension and misery, it must be clear
rent reports-a condition which points
clearly to the disintegration Of the
dual monarchy as a political and mil
itary force. Next to Russia, Austria
was in the worst state of national
health Of all the combatant nations
when the war began. and it would be
no surprise IL Austria were the next
great nation to succumb to combi-
nation Of weakness at home and de-
feat on the firing line.
But Huns Can Strike Again.
But it is still plain that If we have
stopped the German temporarily in
his fourth offensive. he has the power
and the purpose to strike again, to
strike heavily, and, even though he
does not win as much territory or
as great local successes as he did
before there is every possibility that
he may again achieve considerable
success which may temporarily pro-
duce a new crisis on the west front.
And bearing in mind this possibil-
ity, it is well to exercise caution in
estimating the value Of current news.
Nothing is more probable than that
the moment he feels his supreme mil
itary thrust has been delivered the
German will begin a new peace Of
fensive. Indeed, there are already
suggestions that he has begun
peace offensive, employing Austria
once more, as he has SO frequently

ASKOV PINE COUNTY, MINNESOTA THURSDAY JULY 49, 1918

On the occasion of King Gus
tav the Fifth's 60th birthday the
press of the three Scandinavian
countries unanimously praised
his beneficient personal influ-
ence and high-minded policy in
bringing the three countries to-
gether and cementing their un-
ion. The Swedish press of all
parties also dwelled on his strict
ly constitutional attitude and on
his moderating influence on home
politics.
A Copenhagen correspondent
writes under date of June q
that three parties of the Danish
Rigsdag are agreed as to the de-
STABILITY of immediate discus
sion leading to settlement of
the Icelandic question. They are
the Left, the Radicals and the
Social Democrats who express
their willingness to begin a dis
cussion at Reykjavik TX at once.
The conservative party favors a
postponement of the affair un-
til after the war.
Professor Prytz, Norwegian
minister of industrial supplies,
resigned last week according to
cable dispatch. The resigna-
tion is said to be due to the fear
that the working provisions of
the agreement with the United
States would present difficulties
and create situation for which
the minister did not want to take
the responsibility.
Harvest prospects in Sweden
have improved considerably dur
ing the last few days because of
a heavy rain in most parts of
the country, in fact, it is said
that the food administrations at
Stockholm is hoping it will be
unnecessary to introduce further
restrictions with regard to the
consumption of bread.
A London report on the situa-
tion in neutral European coun.
tries points out that Denmark
nowadays produces only half
million pigs as against two and
a half million in times of peace,
and the price of beef continues
to soar. Danes pay SIPS for a
pound of tea, the report adds,
and haven't enough at that.
