The President feels that America

democracy. and anything that is at
variance with democracy or the per-
manent interests of international
brotherhood should be dropped from

conservatives. and pronounced them

There will be plenty , OF opportunity oniay
from any Interpretation Of the 7arti-
cles which may affect adversely the
national interests Of any allied
pnrver.-----
For the present Mr.. Wilson is deal

the proper time and occasion, to speak

cipfes. allied unity will have been
preserved and the assumed effort OF
Germany to divide the allies will have
been completely frustrated.
Note Differentiates Phases. .
In a nutshell, the President has by
his last note differentiated between
the political and military phases of
peace negotiation. In America there
was exhibited an impatience with
peace talk lest 1t be a trick of the en-
envy to improve his own military sit
uation at the expense of the allies.
There was demand, moreover, for no
parleying with kaiserism. Both of
these Mr.. Wilson endeavored to meet
in his last note. He will talk peace
with the German people when they
are rid Of kaiserism. If they retain
the militarists. the only terms are
surrender. 100
The President has no patience with
those who argue that there should be
no talking at ali but only fighting.
These critics do not know the ire
mendous expense in human life of
such a policy, as it means at least two
years more of inceSsant fighting, and
possibly more, to conquer a whole ma
ton.

President Is Best Informed.

The President is well informed on what
opinion prevails among the peoples OF
Great Britain and France, and he has
been guided by. the knowledge that
the, wishes of those peoples for An
honorable peace ct the earliest posi-
Bile -fnoment-victory by negotiation, II
that can be secured-are not to be
hruaquely set aside by the belligetent
mood of American critics who are in
mo- position to assess the facts abroad.
The President has therefore to steer
a middle of-the-road course. to keep
in mind, on the one hand, the big rad
zeal elements abroad that want his terms
of peace applied. the peoples who want
to see the war ended on basis of
justice to the common people of enemy
countries who have had no share in
the, making of the war. and on the
other hand the impossiblAty Of any
thing that permits the: retention Of
kaiserism or its return to power. His
note was intended to show, all the
world that voices that cry out for
peace shall. not be impatiently dis
missed, but given explicit understand
ing of what the obstacles are.
Again, Mr.. Wilson has put the re-
sponsibility where it has belonged
from the beginnfng-Un the Prussian
war lords. Germany is again asked
to make her choice. But as she is
in the midst of making 1t the Presi-
dent takes occasion to elicit from the
other allied belligerents statements
that back up his contentious that this
is q war for democracy and human
Justice. and not for the enhancement
Of any quasi-imperialistic regimes. a
peoples" war and one that wants the
wrongs Of the past corrected not by
the imposition of more wrongs. but in
way that will lead to a healing
peace.

sTar more than the text Of President
Wilson's note itself reveals. is there a
sienihcance to the step taken by the
gntted States government in asking
4hsrentente governments position on
peace terms. step that may we'll be
described as the most serious in the
diplomacy Of. the war itself. For not
only has the President just made an
kE2 to Germany, but he has also
asked of the governments associated
with the United States whether they
asree with his fourteen principles Of
peace. ---
.Mr. Wilson made most important
address on September q. asking the
afffed statesmen to speak their minds
on the fundamentals Of peace as
viewed by the United States. but no
explicit response came back. Earlier
m The year. indeed just after the
Presidents address of January pro-
claiming the fourteen articles Of
peace, Premier Lloyd George and Pre-
mier Clemenceau expressed their ap-
prevail in public speeches, but there
never has been a formal acceptance
Of the fourteen peace terms by the
allies themselves.

Germany Noted Silence.

oGermany knows this. and many peo-
PIE think that was the real reason
for her return to those fourteen peace
terms as q basis. Germany. more
. over. may be seeking an opportunity
to develop her own Interpretation Of
those fourteen articles. II the allies
at<this time discussed those fourteen
articles in detail and revealed plainly
their disagreement, Germany would
use the replies in an effort to divide
the allies and to show her people that
England and France are really block
ing peace. She would use the differ
ences of opinion to get out of Dip
1omatic hole. because il would be easy
for her to argue that she had accepted
the Wilson terms and not the allied
interpretations, and that while an
aEpRistice under the conditions pro-
posed might safeguard the military
interests of the allies, it would not
safeguard the political interests of the
GeEynan people. who, after all, are
most concerned about their own eco
nomic existence.

Maximum for ordinary

Raleigh, April 24th-For the
double purpose OF reducing the
margin of profit that has been
charged recently on sugar by a
majority of retailers and to enable
individuals who have a legitimate
demand for sugar for canning
and preserving purposes, to Sc
cure their requirements, State
Food Administrator, Henry A.

sugar in North Caoolina.
Under the new ruling a definite
margin of profit for retail sales
of sugar is fixed, 1c pound
profit being allowed on original
packages and 13c a pound where
the sugar has to be reweighted
and repacked. Under no circum.
stances must the maximum
prices exceed 93c without special
permission of an official of the
Food Administration.
The maximum quantities of

FOOD POINTER
SAVES THOUSANDS
T. L. Bland, Hotel Operator
in Line With Food Admin
istration on Use of Pota-
toes, Has Wheat Planted
to Supply His Establish
ments.

Raleigh, April 2O.-"One Food
Administration leatlet has been,
or will be, worth thousands of
dollars to me-" today stated Mr..
T. L. Bland, proprietor of the
Bland Hotel at Raleigh, to a Food
Administration official.
1T is a well known fact that
when Irish potatoes are handled
in the ordinary manner, there. is
a loss of approximately 20 per
cent through peeling in spite of
the utmost care. This Food Ad-
ministration leaflet tells how to
cook the Irish potato. It is very
simple. Get your water to boil
ing, salt it well, and then put
your potatoes in. Cook 30 min
utes and drain the water off. The
jackets then come off easily and
you have the finest grain and
finest favored potato that it is
possible to cook. Learning this
method of cooking potatoes, as l
stated, will save me thousands
of dollars"
Mr.. Bland has not only joined
the Honor Rolf of North Caro-
lima hotels which are foreswear-
ing the use of all wheat products
until the next harvest, but does
not intend to call upon the wheat
growers of other states to pro-
vide flour for his hotels even
then. Instead of depending on
someone else to grow his wheat,
he planted so acres of wheat
himself near Rocky Mount last
fall, and is expecting a yield dur
ing the coming harvest sufficient
to supply all his hotels until the
1919 harvest. And if Uncle Sam
requires any of this wheat for
the boys in France, Mr.. Bland
is frank to say that the patrons
Of all his hotels will have to do
without.
