NO MORE SUBSTITUTES BUT.

The average housewife drew breath
Of relief yesterday when she read the
announcement that the flour substi-
tute rule is abolished. The enforced
use OF substitutes brought more pro-
test and caused more general annoy
ance than any other war measure.
Thousands who bought bonds until II
hurt never could reconcile themselves
to the substitute rules. But that was
only another indication Of how human
nature fuses over small things and
bears heavy loads uncomplainingly.
We are not to take the abolition Of
the substitute rule as an abolition OF
conservation. Removing the substi-
tute rule only removed an annoyance.
The fact is that the food situation re-
mains most serious and that conserva-
ton and retraint are TO be urged and

open.
When night settled oyer the forest
on Monday last their situation was
desperate. What little food they had
had with them was spent on the sec
ond day, For there days they had
been eating plugs OF tobacco anc
chewing on leaves of the underbrush.
F'o. water they had to depend on
muddy stream at the bottom OF the
ravine and on one clear, grateful
spring that bubbled there invitinyiy;
but each trip to II meant exposure to
snipens. More than one doughboy fell
in fetching water. What few blankets
and overcoats had been discarded In
tho first, fine rush which carried :hs
rayine had long since gone TO wrap
around the wounded. For their dead
and wounded lay with them on the
hillside.
Three Attack. Fought on.
They were drenched to the skin and
weak from hunger and long exposure
to the chill October wind. They had
fought off three savage attacks-fousht
them off with their own machine guns
own hand grenades-but the sixth
night their store had so dwindled :nat
there was little chance OF their resist
ing successfully another attack.
They knew in their hearts and knew
BY their senses that the rest or the
Americans, not more than 100 meters
below them in the forest were trying
to reach them. They had seen planes
come loking for them In the inter-
minable fog. They had seen planes
shot down in the effort to reach them
They had heard from time TO time tine
sound of heavy firing nearby. They
knew that the effort to reach them nao
been and would be unremitting, out
there had come to the stoutest heart
there doubt that relief would come IN
time. Yet in all that besleged battalion
there was none who thought for one
moment of surrendernig to the en-
circling enemy.
The battalion waited its fourth at
tack without much hope. for its stock
of ammunition had run low ana the
men were so weak they could hardly
drag themselves to their feet. Some
had written little letters Of farewell TO
their folks and in these las. hours on
the chance that the pal might get thru
alive. There were some thanks whis-
pered shyly for little unchronicied

TO kill each other if it came a question

4 PREMATURE FORECLOSURE.

Senator Kenyon is reported from
Washington as having said that PERISH
ing would be the next republican nom
iaee for president The senator prob
ably never said It. 1t would be alto
gether too early to foreclose on the
presidential nomination and many there
are who would question the senator S
right Of foreclosure. Some talk has
been made by democrats Of Pershing
as the democratic nominee. So far,
however. General Pershing has not
made any bid for himself.
There seems to be considerable diff
Guilty in placing Pershings political az
fltatione. He has been claimed by
those Of both parties.
Isn't It little early to begin to bid
for a candidate simply as a popular
hero likely to receive a heavy vote.
Wouldn't 1t be quite as we'll for re-
publicans and democrats alike to cast
about for candidates not necessarily
military but with the certain capaoili-
ties and statesmanlike qualities nee
essary to the president who is TO guide
the country thru period OF recon =
struction wherein mere military skill
might fell. Of course the tendency is
to grasp at the hero and capitalize his
heroism for party purposes. We need
and should a desire a deeper purpose
than that.
1t is not enough that General Perish
Ing shall be a victorious warrior re-
turning in triumph. Historically that
qualification has not sufficed. The
American general may have all those
necessary qualities. So far We kno"
him only as the commanding genera
of a successful army. Who knows
what shall chance before the ides OF thai
November so many months away.
George Dewey vas the most popular
man in the United States-for time
So, also was Hobson. But none looking
backward now would select either o.
them for the most important executive
position in the world today.
It is altogether too soon for politi-
clans to foreclose the presidential
nominations for either party. too soon
for the welfare Of the nation and the
parties. And 1t would be generous and
kindly Of partisan leadership to per
nit the people some opportunity o.
selection.
And at that perhaps Pershing, con-
tent with his we'll won honors may DC
sensible enough to desire to enjoy then
without gambling the high repute ant
affection he has gained among the
American people by seeking or holding
| the presidential office.

We are hearing much these days oil

cidents are as ever brought permanent
~ TO the fore. To be sure, there are
too many such accidents, and by al
means there should be continued et-
fort al prevention. There SHOULD n'

However. is ii just right to blame
all these accidents upon the automo-
bile, Surely. there were many acSi-
dents on the roads of Iowa before the
Red Devil was invented. There were
many crossing accidents, and this SUD-
ject has been discussed in the press
and in the legislative halls these man!
years. The solution of this particu-
lar problem is a simple one, but IL was
argued that the cost would be prohio-
tive. That was in a time before we
lad learned to figure in billions. Tor
day few would argue that the grade
crossing should continue, just because
il will cost money to do away with IL
Few will claim today that II is reali!
cheaper to kill lot of people than tc
nut in overhead or underground cross
ings.
There were many accidents on oul
roads before the auto came into
fashion and general use. Perhaps
thanks to the auto, there is much
more travel on the roads of Iowa than
ever before. Some one who has access
to the statistics, might make some IN
teresting discoveries and comparisons
II is by no means impossible that. as
compared with the good old times,
when we depended upon horse-drawr
vehicles. there are fewer accidents on
the roads now. Or, IL there has reall!
been a great increase in the number oil
these happenings, wouldn't it be I'M
portant 10 have that fact set forth
II there ere more accidents now-al-
ways bearing in mind the fact tha'
there are many vehicles on the roads
