THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

We should have had to accept mur
der as a thing against which we could
not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part Of all future
wars, and have been responsible for
its Incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that because
the fire which burns up our farms
usefulness is beyond the horizon. we
would submit to the kindling of It.
We might have accepted the sew.
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton, but we could not have done
it merely because we were command.
ed to do 1t. By SO doing we should
have accepted degradation. We should
have begun, after winning our free.
dom In our own revolution and estab-
fishing union on the foundation of
liberty In the blood and tears of our
war between the states, to knuckle
under to autocracy! We should have
basely yielded up our birthright az
Americans
Such a thought is intolerable. Peace
at such a price would not be peace,
but only a preparation for a future
revolt against subjugation. Better
any sort of war; better war forever.
than that
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices, let us remember that we
fight, not for our liberties tomorrow
or next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today. Not
for the right to live in the future, but
for the right to make a living this
year.
German oppression had begun to
pinch us before we entered the war.
If we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions of life ordered
for us by the kaiser, we should today
be a poverty-stricken people. Our fac
tories would be shut down, our work
men unemployed, our people starving,
our farmers ruined by the poverty Of
those for whose consumption they
grow their crops. There is loss and
sacrifice in the war, but there would
have been far more of loss and sacri-
fee in accepting the German terms.
We should have lost more In money
than we have spent in the war, but
we should have lost something far
more precious. We should have lost
our souls.

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers OF America
in its ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits. but slavery to
the saber.rattler of Potsdam. He pur-
posed to make us slaves by numbering
the people who took our products 70
market. BY all the laws of civilized war
fare. commerce under a neutral nag
was free from any hindrance except
the legal interference justified by war.
But the Germans not only stopped
merchant vessels. they sank them.
Sank them without warning, without
trace-the most devilish thing war
has seen since the savages scalped our
ancestors and threw screaming babies
into the flames of burning cabins.
The German plan Of sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace Is based
on the murderer's maxim that
dead men tell no tales" 1t was exc
cuted by the massacre Of men. wom-
en- and children. who, having COM
mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were mercilessly raked
with gunfire, and exterminated to the
last unprotected. unpitied soul! These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the kaiser, his advisers and min
ions. These outrages were per-
petrated on neutral vessels; when all
that civilized warfare gave the Ger
mans a right to do even with the mer-
chant vessel under hostile flag, was
to stop it at sea and make 1t a prize
of war.
To kill the civilians on board, even
under a hostile flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these MUIR
ders were committed in order that we
might be enslaved! Having the right
to take the sea with his feet, but be-
ing afraid to do so for fear he might
lose it, and being unable by fair
means to stop the selling of our pro-
ducts to his enemies, the kaiser de-
clared that he would do it by the foul
est methods ever resorted to in war.
He declared the sea closed, and that
he would keep it closed, not by war,
bul by murder
To have submitted would have
cost us dear in prosperity; but that
would have been the least of our
less.
We should have had to groveI before
the German government.

French Chefs American
 Way to Cook
Pastry of Any Description, Good Or Bad, Appreciat-
 ed By Soldiers.

With the American Army in France, Oct. 10 Correspondence of The Associated Pres..)-French cooks in the employ of the American Red Cross are learning from Thomas Kane a Georgia culinary artist, how to make American pies, cakes and cook ies for the American troops. His skill in the making of pastry has made famous the American cooking where ever he has practiced his art along the network of railways over which the American troops are transported from the seaports to the front. This is reversal of the idea that the Americans ought to take lessons ln cooking from the French.
 Pastry of any kind, good or bad is a luxury in the army, ginger cookies "like mother used to make," apple pies and cakes that melted in the mouth are spoken of with reverence among the doughboys. It is Kane's ,, task to teach the French cooks how to supply these luxuries.
 To each of the American Red Cross canteen where the American soldiers resort for food, rest the entertain l ment, Kane goes for one month to spread gastronomical joy with lavish hand. He does not leave until the French civilian cook. employed at the ] Red Cross has learned the culinary road to the American soldiers heart
 Everywhere he goes he leaves a wake of tickled palates.
 At one canteen the workers almost wept when his time came to move or to the next. ''I don't know what we will do when he leaves" sighed one enthusiastic worker 'He has just spoiled the appetites of our boys and now am afraid We won't be able to please them with plain ordinary cook ing"
 Kane was once chef on trans Atlantic steamer. He had settled in Antwerp to live but was driven out by the Germans and came to France and volunteered his services with the Red Cross to ''help de wah"

CHICAGO GRAIN,

Chicago, Oct. 19-Anxiety to even up trades rather than to risk sur prise happenings over Sunday brought about material advances today in the corn marnet.

 Oats gained half cent to 3-4 cent. The closing in provisions varied from 20 cents off to rise of 10 cents.
 Bullish influences drawn from the delay of the German answer to Pres- dent Wilson's note had much to do with the evident tendency to reduce open trades in the corn market to a minimum.

Baseball in Europe Gains
 High Favor
Expert Authorities Trans lating Rules of Game
 For Foreigners.

New York, Oct. 19-The popular lty of baseball among the allied na- tlons abroad is spreading so rapid1v that there is already demand for simple instructions and rules of the game, printed in foreign languages
 10 meet the requirements several eX- pert baseball authorities are collabor- ating Tn the preparation of a baseball primer which will be distributed in various sections of Europe.
 The phamphlet, which will be print ed in French, Italian, English and
 Spanish, will carry the rules of the
 game in the simplest form. In addi-
 ton there will be pages of explana-
 tions and answers to the questions
 Whlsh arise among those who are
 playlng their first contests. These questions and answers will be print ed in English and various foreign lan
 guages in parallel columns in order
 that when American and foreign players or spectators meet. without being able to speak the language of thelr opponents or neighbors in the stands, there may be medium of
 communication at hand. A glossary 1 of technical and baseball terms in all
 languages is also to be appended. 'Never Again" For Magnate.
 What is probably one of the last of l the special baseball wartime con- tracts, which star players insisted the
 magnates should sign in order to re-
 tain their services, during the days when the Federal league was raiding 1 the major circuits, was spread before the public recently. When Jake Dau- bert, first baseman of the Brooklyn Nationals, carried his appeal to the National Commission for the balance of his salary due under his interprc- tation of his contract the special ar ticles in the same were announced as follows:
 "Fhe Club agrees to pay the play CT for the season of 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, beginning on or about the 14th day of April in each of said years, and ending on or about the 14th day of October, in each, of said
 years, salary at the rate of Nine
 Thousand ($9,000.00) dollars per season. In addition this contract had eliminated from it the paragraph known as the ten-day y's-notice- re lease clause, and also had inserted therein the following:
 "It is further understood and agreed that the services of the party of the second part shall not be releas- ed, assigned, traded or transferred, without the consent of the party of the second part"
 It is very doubtful according to the baseball magnates, if contract containing similar clauses favoring the player will receive the signature
 of club owners for many years to
 come. An agreement giving salary
 of $45,000 to an athlete for approxi-
 mately thirty months work. with an
 annotation which makes it impossible to dispense with his services without the consent of the player, is going to
 be rarity, we'll worth framing in the future, if the baseball club owners
 are to be believed.

MARK EFT Reports of Cotton, Grain and
 Provisions
NEW ORLEANS COTTON,

New Orleans, La.. Oct 19.-Trading in cotton today became extremely small in volume and operations were confined to evening up over the week end.
 The market was in the attitude of waiting on the German note expected tonight and which most traders anti cipated would be the dominating in- fluence on the opening of next week.
 No decided trend of values was at tained, prices at their highest being ' to 10 points over yesterdays close and at their lowest to points un- der.
 The final quotations for the day were at net losses of 4 to points. Too much rain was reported in the central and eastern portions of the cotton re- zion and interior ports commenced to wire in that influenza was interfering with both picking and ginning.
 The cotton market closed steady ; at a net decline of four to sever points
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-10-20
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Oct. 19.-The cotton market was quiet today, business was probably restricted by the possibility of important political developments over Sunday and the trading in evi- dence was attributed partly to even- ing up of accounts.
 The general list closed steady, net unchanged to 13 points lower The opening was points lower to 5 points higher, but the market showed steady undertone and after selling off a few points, worked upward on covering, bullish spot advices and rather an unfavorable view of the wet weather in the south.
 October contracts rallied from 31 .85 to v1.91 and January from 3O.26 to 30.45, with active months generally selling six to ten points net higher.
 Later there were reactions which seemed to become more active after the publication of the Presidents note to Austria.
 Late months were relatively easy, but trading was quiet.
 Southern advices said holders of spot cotton being impressed by peace prospects and expecting higher prices in that event, were indifferent sellers.
 Weekend reviews of the goods trade emphasized the curtailment of production resulting from the influ- enza. but Fall River advices said that the situation had improved.
 Domestic spinners takings as we'll as exports are running behind last years and there were reports from pants of Georgia that warehouses were becoming crowded and were re- fuslng more cotton unless for im- mediate sale.
