United States did not mean the abol-

The object Of this clause in Amer

make all nations favored nations"
thus eliminating the international
jealousies and disputes arising from
favored nation treatment, in addition
to removing from the economy OF the
world a restriction which has proved
itself to be injurious not only to for
eign countries, but also to the very
country which erects barriers against
other nations.
The I5niucracies or England, France
and Russia are believed to be solidly

President Wilson, and while great re-

great quantities OF foodstuffs IN back
yard gardens.
Chairman r. W. Sims Of the inter
state commerce committee, after a
conference with the president, will ask
for action on the bill which passed the
senate last June. Immediately after the
railroad legislation is out OF the way.
A tentative program for the daylight
saving bill has been arranged by
Chairman Sims and Representative w.

bill in the house. The first persons
expected 10 testify are Fuel Admins
traitor II. A. Garfield, who will explain
the effect in saving Of coal, and Chair
man Z. y. Hurley of the shipping
board, VINO will testify as to the meas
ure's value in expediting the ship

The government has examined in
detail the position of the allies on the
eastern front, and the results are not
unsatisfactory, said Sir Auckland Ged-
des. minister of national service. in the
house OF commons. Excluding Rus
STA and Roumania the allies have sub :
stantial superiority in lighting and ra =
ton strength. over the central powers
From statistical standpoint the
strength over the enemy gives no
cause for anxiety.
THE withdrawal of Russia means
that not less than 1000. 900 men will be
made available on the western front.
Notwithstanding RusSia's detection.
the resources of the allies and Ameri-
ca are sufficient to assure victory, and
nothing but PSYCHOLOGICAL catastro-
phe can save the central powers.
Every day the hitting force of Bri-
tain becomes of greater Importance to
the alliance. Russia no longer strikes
for freedom; France has poured forth
her STRENGTH in the struggle and can
not sustain the full burden indefinitely:
America is not yet in the field. and
