rnond Crystal Salt company. to rep
resent the American Specially Manu-
facturers' association. These are all
men Of tried ability and experience,
who may be justly regarded as ex-
perts in the work assigned to them.
Mr.. Mason continued as follows:
and when a group of the cereal
manufacturers were called to Wash
ington and were told they must OPP
crate under restricted production
Mr.. Hooer met all these men per-
sonally and made personal appeal
for their cooperation in the great
work he had undertaken. Gould any
patriotic manufacturer refuse him?
Our own company had just given ad-
vertsing contracts amounting to
nearly 100000 to the newspapers
for national advertising campaign.
This advertising had run about fiji
teen days when Mr.. Hoover made
his personal appeal for food conser-
walton. There was no use advertis-
ing If we could not supply the de-
mand created. SO we had to cancel
by telegraph contracts with all these
newspapers. covering nearly all the
cities and towns Of the United
States.
"And right here I want to take off
my hat to the newspaper men of
America. AS result Of this expert
ence my opinion Of newspaper pub
fishers took long jump sskyward.
A finer example of loyal American
ism and business optimism / have
never seen. The publishers not only
took their medicine like men, but
nearly every one of them took the
trouble to write our director of pub
Lefty a letter commencing our pa
triotism in stopping all publicity dur.
ng the war. and giving expression to
lofty optimism and good cheer
which really didn't believe could
come from newspaper men.
"And now the dark days are. past.
The light is breaking. The world
war is ended and normal business
conditions must soon return. Those
who have sacrificed and suffered I'M
der all sorts of burdens will not for
get them-and speaking for our COM
pany. it will not forget those who
stood by US in the times of per-
plexity and uncertainty, when we
could not tell what might happen to
a great business that had been built
up through twenty years Of advertis-
ing"

and industry made 1t possible for
these people to live in modest pros
perity, but the margin was narrow.
and four years of kultur have wiped
out that margin. Through the agri-
cultural sections of western Europe
very much of the soil itself was
artificial, and a peasant In leaving
piece of land was privileged to take
away several inches Of the top soil
with him, as it represented an arti-
fetal product rather than natural
resource.

ing in some parts of the world III
is worse than that which has bee
destroyed, for 1t is more heartle1

of the mob of the 'proletariat

stories of the suffering of the litll

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

by Mr.. McAdoo are plausible but not
satisfying. He says he quits because
he wants to make more money. Some
how or otbel the public does not be-
lieve that is the real reason.
The best guess is that all is not
happy as 1t might be in the preslden-
tial family. McAd0o may have notions
OF his own. and It is quite impossible
for him to have mind of his own
around DadiE-law Wilson. There is
only one mind that cerebrates to any
real purpose around the white house.
and that is Wilson's mind.
Rolfe Arrow: To our mind McAdoo
has been one of the brilliant men OF
the Wilson administration and of the

Dubuque Times-J Journal AS long as
Wilhelm Hohenzollern is free to go
and come, to plot and scheme, the
peace of the world is not secure. And
1t is perfectly unthinkable that the
allies will allow condition TO exist
from which the return OF the kaiser
to power might develop.
Coon Rapids Enterprise: Ex-Presi-
dent Taft is broadminded, farseeing
and careful OF his opinions. He is
the safest republican leader OF the
day When in doubt. follow Taft.
DEBORAH Republican: There have
been pro-Germans OF every nation
atty except one. No ono has ever
heard or known of pro-German
negro. The conduct of the negro sol
diers in the war gives them com
manding place in American citizen
ship, even though they cannot vote
in some states.
Cedar Falls Record: With the
present high price of food, it seems
like waste of time and energy to
advocate the conservation OF food.
No one except millionaire is going
to waste food or use more than is
required, if he expects to keep in
the swim financially.
Council Bllffs Nonpareil: The
kaiser will go down in history not
as the greatest Hohenzollern but as
the most cowardly cur in christen-
dom.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
pleasure Of seeing a man roll pea
nut around city block to pay an
election bet will not be in the same
class with that which comes to ;hose

carrying the property they have
stolen back into France and Belgium.

United States than to offend one sol

not be true that the kaiser is crazy,
but if he is he's happier than he
would otherwise be.

The story of this war is a succession
of courageous and sacrificing In

WHOLESALE NASSACRES

! Out of Twenty Thousand Greeks De-
ported Only One Hundred ard Forty
Remain Alive.
Washington, June bout Of 20,-
900 Greeks deportel from Eastern
Macedonia By the Turks and Bulgar-
ians, only 40 remain alive, cables
from the Bureau Of Prisoners at &C.
neva, Switzerland, informed the Greek
legation here today.
In well-informed circles here these
wholesale massacres are viewed as
part of the plan Of Bulgaria to in
crease her territorial, domain 1t the
expense Of Greece. 1t is pointed out
that most of the deportations have
been from the northern provinces
where the lanis and estates of the
exiles have been turned over to Bull
garians.
Students o. Balkan affairs say that
when peace negotiations are reached
it is the aim of Bulgaria to insist that
President Wilson's announced policy
of allowing inhabitants of conquered
regions to decide their future alleg-
lance be fulfilled. In that case it is
predicted the northern Greek prov
inces populated mainly by Balgars
will demand that Gar Ferdinand be
their ruler.
In the case of Turkey, military
critics show that the Porte has it,

ton it is pointed out the press c.
