International Affairs

There were two events Friday which can hardly be classtd oonvulsons. One the sever ing of diplomatic relations between Cuba and Mexico and the other the entrance of Costa Rca into the world Costa Rica it should be stated the interest of accuracy and not of great import did enter as ally of the Central Powers but of the United States and the entente.
 Equally inconsequental may expect the Mexico Cuba break to be. A of diplomatic relations is frequently prelude to war. but in this do not think there will be any but verbal hostites. Lacking navies and transports, the these beigerents could do would be to hurl at each other epithets in highly favored Spanish across the Gulf of Mexico and part of the Caribbean.
 Though the United States is responsible is supposed be responsible for peace and good order among the nations of the western continent this harm less exchange of hard names is something that will not call for interference at this time when we have so much to do.

AUTO MAN WRITES
 AS SOLDIER FROM
 FRANCE ABOUT WAR

A letter was sent from the French front by Thomas A. Morgan, an off, cer in the Canadian army to his brother, A. G. Morgan, an employee of the Phoenix Auto Clearance con- pany, which has a bearing on the re- cent great German drive. Greatest con- fidence was expressed as to outcome of the present position of the allied armies. Quoting from the letter Nor gan says: We have to lick the Ger
 mans and we will this summer. Just you wait a couple of months and see how the Hun feels about it then" Morgan was living in the United States at the time the war broke out in 1914. He immediately enlisted in | the Canadian army and has seen ser vice continually since then. So marked has been his ability and courage that | he now holds many distinguished ser vice medals and as he writes his
 brother. he is now decorated up like a | Christmas tree.

Confusion In the Code

A reader of The Republican has helped out. Several days ago we printed a dispatch stating that the swinging bridge across the suez canal at Fl Eantara fty-ive miles south of Port Said had been captured. With this understanding, the succeeding sentence referring to communication with the cities of Palestine seemed to indicate that they had been cut off.
 The dispatch was almost as mystifying would have been stating that the Bavarian troops had established a bridgehead the Thames. Who could have captured the swinging bridge in a region whence all enemies had been driven?
 But it is not the province of a telegraph editor to reason why his but to do and die" He could only that the captors of the bridge whoever they might be, knew what they were about and had taken full responsibility with their eyes open He could reasonably that the A. F. correspondent at Port Said not liar and that somebody known to him and for purpose not clear, had captured the Fl Kantara bridge.
 Tn. same story appeared generally in A. P. papers in this jurisdiction. Several readers called by telephone in person inquire what meant. No information available here. It was made in British war dispatches to this successful foray against the bridge.
 Now reader and makes it all clear He encloses the dispatch taken from an eastern paper from which it appears that the bridge was completed" and captured" It was an error in transmission probably due to a mixing up of things in the Phillips Code in which the difference between the two words is infintesmal

More Regulation Needed

That criminal profiteering is in progress is evil dent; that making the war a means of rapidly increasing their wealth is undoubted. It of the scandals of the civil war that the foundations of many of great fortunes laid In that period. In smaller way men sought by swinding the government and it's soldiers increase their wealth during the Spanish American war
 This has furnished still greater opportunity. Some probably swindng the government while others without opportunity to do so. are certainly swndling their fellow citizens by means of extortionate prices.
 Capper's Weekly has been making a study of prices and from time to time, lays the results it's research before the government It has made known that year ago green hides selling at 20 cents pound and that then the farmer could buy harness for his team for $55. Now green hides are selling at 9 cents pound and the farmer cannot buy the same harness for less than t7O. When more than a year ago the prices of shoes began aviate we were told that 1t was because of the higher price of leather But as shoes were going up the price of hides of which leather is. ought to be made was going down. How can this difference between the price of harness year ago and the price accounted for especially when the material is cheaper?
 Within two months after people were asked to use substitutes for flour the prices of those substitutes had increased in price 50 per cent. While the price of food whole had increased in January of this year % per cent not unreasonable increase in the circumstances, the price of cornmea after becoming substitute increased v cent though it is pro- duced in nearly every state in the unon
 The regulatory mower of the government should be extended these things The president said at the beginning of the man should make a cent out of that disaster There are two reasons why he should not do One is a moral reason. No man should be allowed to be hog just because such a time as this affords him the opportunity The other is material If the great mass of the people left unprotected against the depredations of hogs they cannot contribute as literally and willingly to the governments war needs as they would otherwise do.
