FOOD RyATION NOTES.

Fish are now coming to market in

able adjunct To the diet and a good
substitute for the staple foods needed
abroad
Short production last year was
largely due TO the draft OF vessels and
recruiting of men for the navy. Traw-
Ter production has now been ma

restrictions on 'littoral fishing have
been lifted and rules and regulations
formulated ny the food administra-
ton 20 increase the efficiency of pro-
ducers and distributors,
Wholesale prices are now down "a
comparatively low levels and should
remain on this basis for the rest OF
the season. except that temporary
fluctuations may follow storms and

ENGLAND NEEDS MORE TIMBER
Larger Consumption Must Follow az
Result of Postponement of Work
on Account of War.

Reports reaching the offices of the
National Lumber Manufacturing as
ISOLATION in Chicago, indicate there
will soon be an increase in the use of
wood in England. When a timber
controller was appointed last Janu-
airy as war measure, consumption
of wood was restricted in nearly
every direction until an irreducible
minimum seems to have been
reached.
During the last two years England
has been living very largely on its
fixed capital so far as wood is con-
cerned, and little has been done to
make repairs or erect new buildings.
Railroad companies put off neces-
sary work in the hope of better con-
ditions, but this cannot be longer
postponed.
Construction of workmen's cot
tages must also 60 ahead since many
munition and other workers are
homeless, while the great increase in
shipbuilding and ship repairing is
bringing an inevitable demand fol
more ship timber. At the same time
requirements Of the British army fol
packing boxes and cases, furniture
light railroads, aerodromes and
other buildings, make a constant de-
mand for lumber.
| The conclusion of the English
timber firms is, therefore, that The
time has arrived when a larger tim
Der consumption must take place
and the government will act wisely
# it allows a larger importation OF
foreign stocks.

The essential principles that
must underlie peace, as stated by
President Wilson, should be con-
stantly kept in mind. They show
the greatness and unselfishness
and justice of Americas war
aims. Briefly they are:
~ The final settlement OF this
war must be based upon essential
justice and each particular case
so adjusted as will most likely
bring a permanent peace.
(2) Peoples and Provinces are
not to be bartered about as ii
they were mere chattels and
pawns in a game.
81 Every territorial settlement
must be made in the interest of
and for the benefit of the popula-
tions concerned and not by way of
compromising claims of rival
States.
az National aspirations must
be accorded all the satisfaction
possible, without introducing new
or perpetuating old elements Of
discord.

FOOTBALL TACTICS in WAR.

An old football player throwing
himself upon an alighting shell and
hugging it to the ground as if it were
football to break the force of the
explosion with his own body and
save the lives of 10 comrades in the
British trench where the shell fell,
according to the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, was one of the tragic incidents
of unheralded heroism related by
George Sherwood Eddy, fresh from
the front in France, in a speech in
which he pictured with vivid detail
the physical and moral dangers and
miseries confronting the American
troops abroad and pleaded with the
business men to give all their profits
for year to helping the Y. NJ. c. A.
and other organizations in combat
ing these dangers.

GERMAN LIES AND LIARS
iby Porter E. Browne)

When the Germans let loose
upon the world their poison gas
and their liquid fire, the world
aghast, thought that the end had
been reached.
It had not. For since that time
have these same Germans found
and brought to use, even a still
more lethal weapon-a weapon
alike as yelled as it is deadly, as
noxious as it is effective, and
quite in keeping with the abso-
lutte negation Of ethics, or morals,
of decency, of humanity that has
marked Germany's warfare from
the Belgian atrocities down to the
present date.
And this new weapon is lies.
Throughout this country as
well as through the countries OF
the Allies, Germany has flung her
serried lines Of German liars. All
kinds of hes they tell, and in al!
kinds Of ways, from the Accent.
meter lie that no one believes
down to the dumdum lie that
makes a little hole going in and
a big one coming out, and the
chlorine lies that you don't even
know is lie until you find that
you are overcome to point
where some friend has to give you
the restorative of truth.
There is the direct lie and the
richochet. There is the nitrogly-
GERM lie that explodes itself when
it hits; and the time-fuse lie that
doesn't 60 off for a week or SO.
There are lies on the land, in the
air, on the sea, and under the sea.
And all these lies, effective and
ineffective, big and little, are di-
rected against each Of the Allied
Nations to confuse, to~distract, to
puzzle, to delay them in the sue
cessful prosecution Of the war.

That the registration of aliens
had last week will prove benefi-
cial to Minnesota is not doubted
in the least. However, we would
have liked to have carried the
idea farther and would have had
every man, woman and child in
the state registered, whether
alien or of home production. The
honest alien last week walked up
and registered his name and the
name of his family. The fellow
who has "bluffed his citizen
ship through did not register and
there was no way to make him do
so. There are men in Ely, as well
as in every other city or hamlet in
the state who are suspected of
evading the registration provi-
sions but there is no way to get at
them. The mere say-so of them
selves must be taken as evidence
With the registration Of every
body these men would have been
forced to come out into the open
The "bluffer" commanding fair

getting away with it while the
fellow with broken speech has
at once been compelled to show
his papers in order to vote, hold
office, etc. The honest alien
registered while the "bluffer
continues to pose as citizen re-
gardless of his rights to do so.
By registering everybody valu-
able biographical data for the
state would have resulted.

Ever since dynasties have existed
there are records Of kings having abdi-
Gated from one cause and another. Far
back in the misty past one monarch
gave up his throne because he was
'wearied with dominion" another re-

his crown because his schemes failed !;
still another abdicated In fit of mel

in which kings left their thrones be-
