Speaking with one of the commits
sioners appointed to make a survey of
the food situation in the battle-torn
countries Of Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which at that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds of live
stock were completely wiped out. fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain,
roots and vegetables were terraced and
hummocked by bombs and shells,
many of them still lying unexploded
and dangerous. Until this land can be
gone over and cleaned nothing in the
way of cultivation can be carried on,
and even where that is done the work
of leveling and getting under cultiva-
ton will take a long time.
Much more devolves upon the farmer
on this side of the Atlantic than was
at first supposed. Herds of live stock
will have to be replenished. and this
will take years; the provisioning of
the people in the meantime is the task
the farmers here will be asked to I'M
dertake. Producing countries will be
taxed to their utmost to meet this de-
mand; all that can be provided will
be needed This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices will be high. The opinion of
those who have given the question
most careful thought and study is that
food scarcity will be greater than ever
before. The Allies will have to feed
Germany, Austria, Turkey and Russia
and this in addition to the require
ments of European neutrals for in
creased supplies now that there is no
submarine menace.
To the Canadian and American farm.
er this means a demand for his grain
fully as great as at any time In the
past. Wheat will be needed, meat will
be required. The slogan "don't stop
saving food" is as necessary today az
ever. The purpose of this article is TO
direct attention to the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
in Western Canada are still unoccu-
pied, and this land is capable of pro-
ducing enough to supply all needs. On
its rich grasses are easily raised-and
cheaply too-the cattle that will be
sought; in its soil lies the nutriment
that makes easy the production of the
grain that will be needed, and in both
the farmer will be assured of a good
profit on his investment. The land can
be purchased at low prices, on easy
terms, and with the abundance of re-
turns that it will give, it does not mean
matter of speculation. The facts as
set out are known, and certainly are
guaranteed.
These facts, the low cost of the land,
and its great productivity. combined
with the admirable marketing and
transport facilities at the disposal of
the farmer make farming in Western
Canada an attractive proposition.-Ad-
vertisement.

President Wilson believes in the
power of oratory. At the time he
decided to increase largely the mill
itary establishment on account OF
war conditions, back In 1915, he made
quite a lengthy tour in the middle
West, making frequent speeches in
favor OF the Man II was his belief
then that he aroused a strong public
sentiment for the increase. although
the legislation which followed was a
failure SO far as the army was con.
cerned and when we got into the war
everything had to be done over again
In carrying out his plans for League
OF Nations he has made similar cam
paign tour for his speeches in France,

timent IN favor of the league. II is

Whether or not the talk about Cen
eral Pershing as a possible presiden-
tial candidate has been the cause OF
complaints and criticisms of the man
agement Of the army in Europe. 1t Is
certain that something is at the bot
tom Of an effort to create an unfavor-
able impression of the man most prom
inent in the military service Of the
country. The complaints about the
condition of the embarkation camp.
the complaints that officers have not
received due recognition, the COM
plants that men were unnecessarily
sacrificed In the last days of the war,
have all been put forth since the close
OF the war and seemingly with the
idea of giving General Pershing a
black eye. That there is politics in 1t
to some extent one must believe, be-
cause assertions are made that Gen
eral Pershing is not really popular In
the army and that the returning sol
diers and those TO be returned will not
be enthusiastic for him If he should
be a candidate for the presidency. One
thing is certain. If this war does not
develop a president, it is the first war
the country has ever had that failed
to do so.

President Wilson has on several occa-
sions said that congress will obey the
will of the people and he has no hesi-
fancy in going out and creating public
opinion. No doubt this would be very
disagreeable to those who are known
as the recalcitrants in the senate, but
they could not help themselves.

While there is talk OF rushing
everything in the way of legislation in
order to avoid an extra session, IL
may be mentioned that the house of
representatives devoted four or Ave
days TO hearing a contested election
case. Strange as It may seem, the
contest came from Alaska. a terri
tory having a delegate who has no
vote. The time was when contested
election cases excited considerable In
terest In the house Of representatives.
1t was contested election case which
precipitated the fight when Tom Reed
counted a quorum In the Fifty-flrst
congress, provoking one of the most
bitter partisan struggles that has
ever been known in the history of con-
gress. Much of the time In the debate
in the Alaska case was taken up by

tons in the territory.

MANY CANDIDATES
FOR G. 0. P. TICKET
DEATH OF ROOSEVELT THROWS
WIDE OPEN RACE FOR PREsI-
DENTAL NOMINATION.
SENATORS ARE CONSIDERED
Lowder of Illinois the Only Governor
Mentioned--Rspid Progress Being
Made in Ratification of the Proni-
bition Amendment.
Rx ARTHUR W. DUNN.

Washington has become appar-
ent since the death of Theodore koose-
welt that the Republicans had largely
settled upon him as their candidate
for 1920. While there were Candidates
in other parts of the country anu
many men would have had the sup
port of delegations from their own
states and communities. 1t Is eVidFht
from what is heard on all sides thhI
the one thing that would have pre-
vented ROosevet's nomination hao ne
lived would have been his own deter
minatiOn not to be a candidate. 1hose
who were intimately associated win
him during the last few months are
aware that he had determined not 10
he a candidate, for he knew better
than anybody else the precarious con-
dition of his health. He might not
have made any such announcement
for some time, but it is known to have
been in contemplation.
AS the matter now stands, the Re
publieans are considerably at sea and
there are many different names men
toned In connection with the presi-
dency. And the candidates are from
every section OF the country, not con-
fined to what has heretofore been the
presidential highway, the states OF
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. Among those who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination In 1920 are sen
ators Lodge and Weeks Of Massachu-
sets, Senator Wadsworth of New York.
Senator Knox Of Pennsylvania. SEN
ator Harding of Ohio Senator Watson
of Indiana, Senator Kellogg of Mime
sofa, Senator Sherman Of Illinois, Sen
ator Townsend Of Michigan, Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa. Senator BOrah of Idaho
and Senator Johnson of California.
There is an absence of the usual
crop of governor-candidates Usually
there are n half-dozen or more gov
errors who are considered available
presidential material in the pre-con-
ventlOn talk, but this year there Is no
suggestion of governors, with the
single exception OF Frank Lowden of
Illinois. On the other hand. a num-
Der of army officers are mentioned,
with Pershlng at the head, Leonard
Wood a good second. and Provost
Marshal General Crowder considered
available. And since the return Of
Gen. Clarence Edwards and his popu-
larity with the New England division,
the famous fighting Twenty-sixth.
there is suggestion that he would be
available. Edwards was the friend of
Mark Hanna, the contidant of Secre-
turles Root and Taft in the war de-
partment, and is known to more public
men than almost any other man in the
army.

next March. by the last of March
three-fourths of the states may have
ratified the amendment, and If so it
will go into effect one year after ratl-

From 1884 to 1919 is long span Of
years. That is the period during which
Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore
Roosevelt We're close personal and POI
litical friends. They made their first
political fight together in 1884 at the
convention which nominated Blaine.
They were against the Plumed knight,
and since that time they had been to-
gether on nearly every political propo-
sition that came before the country.
particularly on the subject of civil
service reform, which brought them In
closer alliance than almost any other
issue. They were active lleutenants In
the fight to make Tom Reed speaker
30 years ago. Senator Lodge would
not go to the Republican national con-
vention in 1912 because he did not
want TO be put in the position of an.
tagonizing Roosevelt, although he did
not believe that his candidacy at that
time was OppOrtune. In the conven-
ton Of 1916. however, Lodge voted for
Roosevelt on the second ballot.

Any man who seriously proposes
to annex territory to the United
States is sure to start something.
Every acquisition of territory has
aroused bitter opposition. History
tells us that was the case In regard
to the Louisiana purchase, the annex
alton of Texas, the acquisition of terri
tory from Mexico after the Mexican
war, and again when Seward bought
Alaska from Russia. 1t is within the
memory of men still living how oppo-
sition TO General Grants proposal to
acquire SantO Domingo was strong
enough to overthrow presidential pol
ley. Plenty of people can remember
the bitter contest against acquiring
Hawaii and the Philippines. But with
the exception of Santo Domingo, which
is nominally under our control, nearly
every movement for the acquisition
of territory has been successful.
Perhaps that is what makes Sena-
tor Ashurst's proposition real sub
lect of debate. He wants to add Lower
California and a large slice of the
northern part of Mexico to the United
States, and puts up some pretty good
reasons for the acquisition. Just as
Tom Reed complained bitterly about
buying Malays at 50 n head" abiding
to the $200O0,000 paid for the Philip
pines with their 100000 population.
so there will be great deal of oppo-
sltiOn to taking over the poems and
semi-savage tribes of northern Mexico,
even If we get large slice of land
with it. However, the world is be-
coming somewhat topsy-turvy and geo.
graphical lines are being redrawn In
the old world, and perhaps the infiu-
ence will spread to this continent, not
withstanding the ringing declaration of
Senator Ellhu Root at the Rio Janeiro
conference when he told all of the
Latin-Amerlcan republics that the
United States did not desire foot of
their territory.
