There is nothing new in the gen.
eral accusations made against the
German people," said the premier.
but we must note we regret that
the allies have rejected the proposal
for the establishment Of a neutral
tribunal which alone could impartially
examine these accusations. 1t is also
.lamentable that the whole nation
should be charged with offense and
crimes alleged.
This charge is to constitute justi.
fication for the heavy conditions.
which, according to the second sec
ton Of the covering note are to be i'm
posed on the German people.
The justification put forward for
the projected state Of affairs In the
east, permits little hope that we can
reckon for substantial concentrations
in the deteiled memorandum. That
also holds good for the remaining ter
ritorial questions, many points re-
garding which and also those regard
ing financial and economic questions
referred to in the note are still quite
obscure.

heard from them. The doors on all
the cars in the train on which the
boys left we're shut and fastened and
1t is feared they will suffer for want

We have still some among who do not realize
that the industrial world has been engaged in war
of destruction
With millions of men under arms, and millions
Of others working to feed clothe and equip them,
it is only natural that normal state of peacetime
production cannot be restored in short time.
Yet we occasionally get letters like this one from
a Nebraska grain dealer. i
He says:
"I can't see anything in the wheat situation to
Justify present price of flour and think the price will
gradually decline as we are approaching the grand
est crop of wheat that grew out Of the ground
"The present prospect is for between 8O0,0O0,-
900 and 900,000,0O0 bushels and the record crop
of winter wheat up to this year is 695,000,00O
bushels
"We are> having more or less complaint of
damage to the growing wheat, but it is local and
don't think anything now can prevent bumper
crop of wheat.
"This spring wheat seeding has been delayed
to some extent but on the whole the wheat is get
ting in the ground with average condition, and big
increase in the acreage and if have as favorable
conditions for growing spring wheat as we had for
winter we will raise in the neighborhood OF l2O0-
100000 bushels, which I'll say will help feed the
world.
"The short corn crop of last year and the enor-
nous demand for hog products from Europe have
brought about the high price Of hogs and hog
products But with the industrial demand for corn

reduced about 40 per cent | think we will have
plenty of corn to go around at the present price and
then some."
His position would be tenable under normal con-
ditions.
But we are not and will not be on peace-tme
basis until part of the destruction wrought by
the war is at least partially restored
The granares of the world must go on feeding
those who have been engaged in wars pursuits until
the heat of battle is out of their blood. England

It will take them year or two to get the plough

undoubtedly come TO a Considera-
tion of tho whole field Of social
