He declared he could make a good
profit in raising grain and feed on hi;
big ranch, much more than in any
other way, but if every cowman dis.
posed of his stock and raised grain
and feed for sale, there would be nc
market for the products they could
raise. "The necessity is, therefore. to
keep cattle and feed products we'll bal
anced to insure the stability of both,
he said. y
Calling attention to the fact that
the packers had been guaranteed a
profit OF 9 per cent, Mr.. Jenkins said
the cowmen OF the range country
would be more than satisfied with
such a guarantee in their business.
He pointed out that the packer, guar
anteed 9 per cent, worked in absolute
" known conditions, while the pro-
ducer must contend against uncertain
and shifting conditions throughout
three or four years.
Modernized Holy Week.
Holy week in Washington is mod
ernized. like everything else. 1t has
grown to be grand opera week, rather
than a week of penitence, prayer and
self-denial. The week opened with a
benefit performance of "Aida" for the
Red Cross District chapter, for which
the French ambassador and Nine. JUS
serand and the British ambassador
and the Countess of Reading had
boxes. but did not occupy them. The
news from the front changed the at
mosphere OF every social affair, from
Saturday afternoon. The houses for
the opera have. however, been great
ones, for it is the only grand opera
Washington gets during the season.
The tri-color bali on Saturday eve
ming for the benefit of the American
fund for French wounded suffered
greatly as to numbers, but not as to
funds, for boxes and tickets all were
sold and paid for before the tragic
news of the mammoth battle was re-
ceived. In consequence of it, the pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson, the French
and British ambassadors and their
wives, who had taken boxes, and all
the members of the cabinet and their
wives, who had promised to be pres
ent, changed their plans, with the
exception of Mrs. Newton d. Baker,
who represented her circle. She wore
a lovely pink velvet gown and must
have heard that her husband had ar
rived safely in London or she would
not have danced gaiyly.

to abandon the effort after a hard
struggle, during which rs Germans
were taken prisoners in hand-to-hand

One British division marched from
9 o'clock one evening until 4 o'clock
the next afternoon and then flung
itself into the battle line, where il
fought and killed and dug in until its
position was assured. Then these sol.
diers threw themselves down where
they stood and slept with their heads
pillowed upon their haversacks. There
are other instances even more specta-
cular which may not be mentioned
but it is unnecessary to amplify, as
America already knows the temper
of its British allies and knows that
the British will take lot of beating
before they will give in.
Yesterday strong patrols in the Ar
ras sector penetrated the British out
post line north of Arleux and forced
the posts to withdraw after a brief
but intense fight. This appeared to be
the only change in the lines before

CONFIDENCE IN FocH

One of the most inspiring things
that comes out Of the great theatre
CT war in Northern France is evil
dence f the fact that the men who
tight in the armies of the Allies las
well as the people behind the armies
have supreme confidence in General
Foch, whose genius directs the efforts
of those defending the 130-mile front
against which the Germans are hur
ling their divisions. Foch is consider,
cd the greatest strategist in Europe,
and he has earned that reputation in
the present war. His plans are not
known. Most important Of all, the
Germans do not know them, but the
Allies have faith that they will work
out in due time to the complete dis
romfiture OF the enemy.-Albany

explained that ii was an economic
war. There was room enough in Ger
many, and natural resources enough,
he admitted, to keep all the Germans
comfortably.
"But' he said, "our schools are so
fine and they turn out so many fine
ly educated young men every year,
that we must have new colonies and
new business centers throughout the
earth where these young men can
exercise their talents"
Then he pointed out on his maps
the territories needed to supply the
necessary opportunities to those
talented young Germans. There were
footh0lds in neighboring countries,
there were Syria and Persia, there
was the route to Bagdad, there were
sites for new colonies in Africa and
eastern Asia, there were islands
scattered over the world.
The correspondent had up to that
moment been honestly neutral But
right there and then he saw a great
tight and hit the pro-Ally trail Ger
many had set out to take what she
wanted, by force, from the rest OF the
world, nfEhting Unreasonable woe
on all mankind. And her excuse Off
all the horrors she was committing
was "that her schools were so fine"
"If too many fine schools have that
effect on a nation" concluded the
writer 81 decided that hereafter Pm
going to be in favor of schools run
less by brain power and more by
heart power"
Which is pretty good educational
idea, and worth thinking over What
is the chief aim of instruction know

morality? Which are the better
schools those that turn out brainy
brutes or those that produce humane,
