some of our soldiers reached the fir.
ing line the trained troops of Ger.
many would destroy them. And vel
we raised an army of four million
men and we transported more than
two million soldiers to France.
For the first time an agreement
has been adopted, calculated to in.
clude ultimately all the nations Of the
world and to arrange international
affairs, not in accordance with the
outworn doctrines of another age,
but in harmony with the principles
of human justice applicable equally
to the great and to the small. That
an American President is engaged
in this work should move every
American heart, irrespective of party
affiliation or personal prejudice, to
fervent prayer that he may succeed
in his great task.
Despite all obstacles and discour-
agements, he has persisted. Within
a few weeks, if all goes wei, he will
return to America, bearing with him
the greatest document of human lib
erty that was ever prepared by the
hands of man."
Former Secretary McAdoo related
how, when England, France and Italy
called on the United States in IoI82to
hasten them supplies of wheat to
prevent starvation among their civ-
ilian populations and the collapse Of
their armies, the Railroad Admins
tration sped the movement Of empty
cars from East to West, expended
their loading with grain, and hurried
them back to the Atlantic seaboard
for shipment of their contents 70
Europe. - 81
This drastic method, which was
adopted regardless of cost, was so
successful, Mr.. McAdoo said, that
within thirty days the emergency
had been met and the crisis that
threatened the defeat Of the Allies
was ayerted. This happened, he said,
in February and March, 1918, in the
midst Of an Exceptionally severe
winter. 81. S;

AS precautionary measure, it was
learned Thursday, homeward move
ment of the 4th and 5th Divisions of
the Army of Occupation has been
suspended. Pending decision of the
Germans as to whether they will
sign the peace treaty, General Per-
shings proposed visit to London was
postponed recently. The suspension
of the homeward movement OF the
4th and 9Th Divisions of the Army of
Occupation, it is pointed out, may
have been ordered for the same rea-
son.

SANDER and Abuse are Weapons in
Republican Fight on Wilson.

New York.-Slander and abuse are
the chief weapons in the campaign
which Republican leaders are waging
against President Wilson, declared
Chairman H omer S. Cummings of the
Democratic National Committee in a
speech to the Democratic Club OF
Westchester County. VIM. G. Nc
! Adoo, former Secretary of the Treas
ury, also attended and addressed this
large gathering of Democrats.
1T is not conceivable that the mall
ice of few will be permitted to deny
to America and to the world this
measure OF healing Chairman Cum
mings said, speaking OF the League
of Nations.
when | read the speeches of par
tisan Republican leaders, l wonder
what phrases of abuse would have
agitated the political atmosphere if
the President had led the country to
the disastrous conclusion of an I'M
successful war. Every epithet of re-
proach has already been exhausted
in an attempt to discredit the leader
ship OF Americas President at time
when Americas prestige was never
greater, Americas power never so
vast and Americas success never SO
transcendent. The campaign of
SANDER, which is the very spume Of
politics, has been reserved for Amer
ica's greatest triumph.
THE war was won and challenge
the critics OF the administration to
suggest how, within the bounds OF
human possibility, we could have
won the war more promptly or with
less loss OF American life. The Re-
publican party is rendering small SER
vice to America when it converts the
machinery, of its Organization into an
instrument of attack upon American
leadership and American honor.
What would be the conditions of
our country have been IL labor had
been disconnected and unwilling to
follow the leadership of our Presi-
dent? If no preparation had been
made. to encourage the farmer in sup
plying the need of the world for
food? IL our finances had remained
IN the state in which the Republican
party left them? All these measures
were essential to Amefiea's sueeess
and they were the svery bass upon
which that suceese wae foqudeds

SOUTHERN RICE GROW.
ERS' WILL HAVE
LONDON OFFICE.

The Southern Rice Growers As
sOciatlon will establish an Office in
London this year in order that di
rect information on conditions in
that market may be secured. This
will enable the organization to
keep in close touch with the ex.
port trade. K A. EigDus, secre
tary and manager Of the Growers
Association arrived in New York
Monday morning where he will
spend some time IN familiarizing
himself with export conditions
and gather iufOImatiOn and data
of Importance relative to tho ex-
port of rice.
The establishment of a London
Office has been under consideration
for several month by the Southern
Rice Growers, owing to the big
part the export of rice will play in
the prices Of American rices this
year. With a shortage Of Asiatic
rice the demand for the American
product promises to be stronger
than ever before. AS London is
the rice market of the world most
of Europe being supplied through
the English capital. the Office of
the Southern Growers will have
it's finger on the pulse OF the
worlds rice trade.
With the American rice market
opening at a higher figure than in
any previous year and a big ex-
port demand the rice growers OF
this country face the prospect of
getting higher prices throughout
the entire season than ever before.
Increased cost Of production and
especially of labor makes higher
price necessary if profit is to be
made by the rice growers this
year.
Europe is now clamoring for
American rice. China was trying
to get forty thousand tons from
this country to prevent famine only
a few weeks sgo. Conditions 10
the Orient are abnormal and little
Asiatic rice will be available for
the European trade this season
and all indications point to the
best prices ever received Tor
American rices being maintained
until another year rolls around
aud the country again faces
bare market.
