A GOOD YEAR FOR
BIG WHEAT ACREAGE


The price guaranteed by President
Wilson of 1926 bushel for No.
spring wheat at Chicago next year
will stand even though the war should
end and the world markets flooded
with wheat The government has a
full understanding of the risk 1t is as
suming. and is prepared to back its
guarantee. even in the event OF a ma
tional loss of as much as $5o0.0o0.000
through an unsaisble surplus.
That is the word the government
has given to the state food admins
tfation-
More than this. President Wilson
proposes TO call next spring disinter-
ested commission TO secure the facts
as to the possible increased cost of
farm labor and supplies. and II, in
the opinion OF this commission. fur
ther price raise is warranted. It will
be given the farmers. Let the farm
ers SOW wheat: the government will

Riv airy Of Riveters.

1t is announced that the riveteTs en-
ployed at the Harlan & Hollinesworth h
plant OF the Bethlehem Steel Co. in this
city, have issued challenge 10 the riveters
of the Pusey & Jones plant for competi-
ton. to see which can drive the greater
number of rivets IN a gwen time The
Pusey & Jones plant riveters claim a
championship, and the Harlan d Hollings-
worth riveters dispute their claim Hence,
the challenge.
It is hoped the challenge will be accept
ed and the match arranged for 1t will
be good thing in more than one respect.
1t will tend to increase production, and
that Is what the country needs at this
time. Such a match would-not be like
a sporting event-a consumption of time
without practical product-but would
bring forth results Not a minute Of the
time expended in the competition would
be lost
So, let the match be arranged II
will stimulate industrial production, and
possibly bring to Wilmington the distinc-
ton Of having the champion riveting
teams of all the country.

ANOTHER CRUEL DEPORTATION

Germany, like necessity, knows no
law. Now she has sent a thousand
French civilians TO labor in Russia
four hundred of the number being wo-
men Whenever, indeed, she has had
need Of laborers. she has impressed them
from the noncombatan population, Nor
is this the first time she has compelled
workers TO leave home and toll for her in
remote regions; the Belgian deportations
are fresh in mind But this transfer of
French laborers TO Russia represents the
limit up TO date, of cruel and uniustified
impressment
As the war goes on, We see more and
more plainly that it is, III one Of its
principal aspects, a war for the vindica-
ton of international integrity. The
German creed is absolutely opposed to this
1t confessedly admits no claim as valid
except that of the Hohenzollern state
II is based on new and utterly vicious
conception of morality"
No matter what eXcesses Germany
is guilty of; no matter how c0ntemptu-
ously she rejects the old rules and regllla-
tions that have heretofore governed
civilized peoples in their relations with
one another. we are all the more bound bv

The action by Japan. however, is not

of Japanese troops may be justified on the
plea that il was necessary for the protec-

were being maltreated. ii is known there
are war munitions and military supplies in

PRESS COMMENT.
THE MIND OF GERMANY.

Tharc have been fow signs Of late
that better mind is coming TO some in
Germany. Highly significant is the stir
made by the publication of Prince
Lichnowsky's memoranda, showing that,
in his opinion, tho war WAS not forced
upon Germany. but, rather, deliberately
brought on by her rulors. The former
Foreign Minister, Won Jagow, has been
writing about the Princes disclosures,
and whilo he disputes and challenges
some of tho facts and conclusions, frankly
admits that no can no longer adopt
''the theory now widespread among us
that England was tho originator of all
the intngues leading to tho war Accept

ment-and, as the Westminster Gazette
points out, Won Jagow must have had

represented President Wilson by creating

But, First.

Very interesting is tho information
cablcd from Copenhagen, Denmark, and
credited to the Berlin Tacgliche Rundes-
chau, that Matthias Erzbergcr, leader OF
the Centerist party in the Prtssian Reich
stag, is planning great propaganda IN
favor Of international and economic
peace" His scheme, it is said, includes
agreements for the plncing OF British
and American capital in German indus
tries, so that at least half the money
invested in German industries would be
Anglo-American while German money,
to a great extent, would be invested in
England. Identical labor legislation by
the three countries also is recommended as
an essential to the successful carrying out
of this plan.
Very good Such an arrangement,
under normal conditions. would no doubt
be heartily entered into by capitalists OF
our country and Great Britain. But,
first-there must be a radical change in
existing conditions. The war must be
ended ended in the absolute defeat
of Germany and the destruction of all
her aspirations to world domination.
This world could not go on in peaceful
way with Germany in supreme control.
She is menace to the worlds peace, and
her capacity for mischief and danger must
be eliminated. This lis the first duty of
the rest of the world outside of German
domination. This accomplished, VIC can
give attention to the great subject OF
development under peace, and IN this
work defeated Germany would not be
treated with injustice.
