view of this fact as we'll as because
OF the Increased cost of conducting
business some increase in the price
of certain seeds may be warranted.
This, however, does not justify any
one in taking selfish advantage of
the opportunity to the detriment OF
the country. By far the larger num-
Der of dealers no doubt will consider
that their patriotic duty IN this emer-
gency is to aid the Nation IN secur-
ing adequate stocks at a reasonable
price, consistent with the extra SER
vice rendered. this year in securing
tested and satisfactory supplies. Any
thing beyond this becomes plainly
an unfair practice and therefore sub
Ject to any action which such prac-
tices invoke. Speculation in seed
stocks is especially to be deprecated
in this hour of ueed, and if particl-
pated in by dealers under federal Ii
cense for the conduct Of their bust
ness will be dealt with accordingly.
Several state seed growers assOci-
atoms have voluntarily agreed to
handle their seed with due regard to
the public welfare by charging only
a reasonable price for them, although
doubtless the demand for seeds would
permit much higher prices. Such
patriotic action is to be commended.
The War Service committee of the
American Seed Trade association also
has passed a resolution in which this
committee agrees to co operate in de.
noancing unreasonably and excessive
profits or in taking other necessary
steps.
Ali wholesale SEED dealers and those
retail dealers in seeds doing an an
nual business OF 500, 600 or over,
who handle peas, beans, cotton seed,
and corn are now operating under
Ii. ense from the Food Administra-
ton. Instances have, been cited to
the department where others have
been taking advantage of the present
situation by charging e%xhorbitant
prices for seeds.
Upon receipt of specific information
of extortionate prices being charged
for seeds, such cases will be investl
gated and recommendations made for
such action as the conditions require.

Acting on orders from the German
government, the officers and crews of
the German ships interned in Ameri-
can waters inflicted such damage on
the machinery of the vessels as they
deemed absolutely certain to keep the
ships out of service for two years.
BY that time the Germans thought
the war would be over. But Ameri-
can efficiency and American inven-
ton effected the necessary repairs in
from six to eight months and at a
cost of $273 ,0O0; the Germans had
figured the cost of repairs at So, 6O0,-
600 and the necessary time "a months.

PIERRE AVIATOR DESCRIBES
SENSATIONS OF A FLIGHT

How it feels to fly is well pictured in
the following letter from Charles l..

Pierre Dakotan:

throws a 100 mile an hour wind in your
face to wake you up, and then other
things begin to happen too fast for
you to notice the breeze.

three, catching my breath and fixing
my goggles and when l looked over the
edge of the ship, L saw old mother

the elevator had broken, and WE

The United States has turned it's back on the Austro- Hungarian peace proposal Secretary Lansing, by au- ihorization of President Wilson. an- nounced that the United States Can and will entertain no proposal for a conference upon a matter concern inr which it has made its position and purpose so plain"
 The British secretary for foreign af- fairs Mir Balfour, has also stated, though unoficially that he was utter !, unable 10 see that such a conference as proposed by Austria could have the desired end. adding: Tt is incredible that anything can come of this pro- posal"
 While the German newspapers com inert on the proposal as though Ger many had TO part in it, the Vienna newspapers declare emphatically that an of Austria's allies had been in- formed of Austria's intention, though inc action itself was Austria Hun rary's own.

ANOTHER BLOW AGAINST GERMAN LINES IS EXPECTED

Washington, Sept. 16.-Another blow against the German lines 2s an answer to the peace proposal of the Central Powers is expected momentarily by military officials here.
 The point of the expected attack is a matter of wide speculation by off, cers. Several simultaneous attacks will be delivered. it is thought, with the Flanders front the French oper- ati0n about La Fere directed at Laon and the new American front across the mouth of the old St Mihiel salient as the logical positions from which Mar shat Foch would striks.
 There is no information of an of l ffciaI character as to General Per- shihg's present operations. The great est reticence apparently is being en- forced on press correspondents in dis cussing the tactical disposition of the American army at this time and to observers here this suggests that pre- parations for new advance are well under way The logical objective, it is held would be tht occupation of the Briey iron fields and an effort to en- circle Metz from the west. If Gen. eral Pershing is moving toward that goal now. it is said a joint attack by 1 his army and the French army hold 1 ing Nerdun front would be a proba- ble development Such an action
 would be over a very extended front 1 however. and some further reconnais- 1 sance of the enemy'.s positions on the ! immediate American front may be 1 necessary. before it can be undertak- !

According to con- servative estimates an army of more than 100.00 trained militarists is i'm mediately available in the regions of Harbin, Nikolsl and Vladivostok.
 Large corps of railway men also can be utilized if necessary to take over the Chinese Eastern railway The funds to be used in creating the Polish army are to be considered a loan to the Polish people or their govern ment.
 IL is believed that if the Polish or ganizatiou is successful the Ukrainians will begin similar movement and be- cause of the close relationship be- tween the Magyars and the Poles it is considered possible that many of the Magyars may be won over to the side of the entente allies.
 The Poles are emphatic in declaring | that they do not intend to participate in politics and that their only desire 1 is to fight toward their own country The Poles have asked that they be promptly granted recognition by the United States government so that they may add their aid in opposing the spread of German aggression as vel as win their own freedom.
