A Mighty Precedent.
(Boston Herald.)

The dominion of civilization will be
strengthened by the putting of the
former German emperor on trial as the
person chiefly responsible for the max
ing of the great war. Courage to res
pond to the clear demand of justice III
n manner never before attempted Is
shown by the allied and associated ma
tions in their momentous decision They
create a mighty precedent. Peoples have
tried their rulers and oftencr removed
them without trial for offenses commit
ted within their respective realms, but
nations have had no judicial means of
redress or punishment when rulers of
foreign nations made war against them.
There was nothing for it but to wait
and then, if possible, retort with war if
wrong had been done. Looked at calm
" and critically, with minds freed from
the spell of custom, is not the old sys-
TEN vicious, deciding nothing except by
force, and never carrying even with
its final decision the certainty of jus

A step away from war as the arbitel

better. National justice, as has beer

Major General Ernest Kinds, who has
just reached New York, is authority for
the statement that cat the close of the
war there were only twenty-four Amer
lean type guns in operation. These were
made in England from American de-
signs. All other guns operated by
American artillerymcn were either
French or English guns. in both design
and manufacture. - He also said that
none of the American artillery manufac-
tured after the United States entered
the war la! reached Europe in time to
have a voice in the decision of the
struggle. Some cannon arrived shortly
before the armistice was signed but
they did not get to the front in time to
fire a single she'll.
He further asserted: ''The Ameri-
can people ought never to forget that
the allies rot only bore the brunt of the
war before the fresh American troops
were thrown in, but they also furnished
Us with artillery for our operations. -
This fact should make some of the
shouters for American independence
stop and think bit. If America had
insisted upon complete independence il
the late war the allies would have beer

have struck a blow. But subordinatine

Bow er'S
Phosphates
Delayed Applications
of Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
ton on railways and consequent delays
to shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
A late application Of fertilizer as a
side-dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
TO make the delayed fertilizer applica-
ton in this way than to attempt ia
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, OF
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive
The big problem is to apply the fertiliz
CIR with the least possible amount Of
labor, but at such a time, and in such
a way, as to make it most effective.

And shouted his raucous cry;

As he squawked in his fiendish glee,
Was teasing his folks with his harmless
jokes,
