American Patriotism.
BY G. M. MORRISON

The country, responded nobly to
calls for the Liberty Lean. Each
time that insidious propaganda that
had its inception in Potsdam was
spread broadcast that the loan
would meet with failure-that
Americans were not going to invest
their money that Germany might
be made to taste dregs of defeat
it was proven untrue.
Each time Americans more than
made good. In the Victory Loan
they subscribed nearly a billion
dollars more than the Government
asked.
Now, even after all this, more
money is needed that all the ideals
may be brought to fruition-that
the world will always. not for just
the time beins-be a decent place
to live in. The Government has
promised there will be no more
Liberty Loans-and the Govern
ment ALWAYS keeps its promise.
The Treasury Department, during
war times, planned lessons of Thrift
for the people. The Thrift Stamp
and the War Saving Stamp were
brought into being. not so much to
bring money to the Treasury as to
instill Thrift into the very lives of
the people. ,
More than a billion of dollars
we're raised in 1918 that way. How
much greater it will be in 1918 de-
ponds on you and me. And in Civ
ing the Government this needed
money we are serving our own for
tune. for every cent invested in
these Baby Bonds" is just that
much saved to the people and
makes the Nation just that much
stronger.

Holding Back Foods

Congress had been in session but
three days when discussion hogan
on the food price problem. Repre-
sentatives just home from their con.
stituencies realize the deep dissatis
faction prevailing with the present
situation.
1t was charged in the House that
there are 100000 cans OF beef
and 100000 cans of bacon being
held in the surplus stocks of the
army. which are not being released
from storage. on the ground that to
let them out would cause gut of
food products. Yet prices continue
very high.
1t is wise to hear both sides of a
story before making up ones mind.
1t is possible that the government
feels it must have this reserve of
food to protect the army against
any possible renewal of trouble in
Germany. Still that is not a seri-
Gus risk. Germany is down and out.
AS far as a glut of meats goes.
the American people would just like
to see it for a little while. Although
naturally meat eating people, they
have been denying themselves meat
for years. If for a brief period there
should be larger supply available
than is absolutely needed. the PEG
pie would make very good use of it.
They would throng the butchers
shops as of old. Great would be
the rejoicing over roasts and steaks
at many a humble table that has
scarcely known them for the past
four years. A large meat diet for
a time would do people good. and
help build up working power, which
must have declined a little through
the period of war abstinence
The whole situation ia regard to
food profiteering needs a very care
full investigation. The people be.
lieve that a great many dealers
have grown very rich out of exorbi-
tant prices. 1t may not be possible
TO get the money back. but at least
it could be shown up who made it
and perhaps now they can be KEEP,
from making any more of it.

Conciliatins Germany

There are two theories of the way
the Germans should be dealt with.
One is that they should be approach
ed in conciliatory spirit, with the
desire to heal the wounds of war.
This assumes that the Germans
were so lied to that they actually
believed they were fighting to de-
fend themselves from attack. So
it would forget the past, and trust
that now they are freed of their
wicked autocracy, they would never
again take up arms to invade an-
other country.
If a soft peace were made with
them. the Germans for the time be.
Jog would work more in harmony
with the rest of the world. They
have mad all the fighting they want
for while. The chances that they
would make war within 10 or &c
years are not great.
The trouble with that theory is
that it so ignores the handing Out
of justice. With the most diaboli
cal skill, the Germans ruined Bel.
GUM and the richest mining and
manufacturing district of France
Iu the most careful and methodical
manner, they proceeded to so de-
stroy all industries that those great
producing communities will be al
most helpless for five or ten years
Meanwhile the German productive
equipment is untouched. AS quick
as the people get tired of loafine
their industries will be running a;
efficiently as ever. with a tremend'
Gus advantage over stricken France
and Belgium.
No, stable peace can't be bull
by a relaxation of justice. A con
slant stream of German gold, coal
and all products must flow into
France and Belgium for years. be
fore outrages can be atoned for, anC
the victims recover their balance
1t may be uncomfortable to sit OF
the Germans heads for years. bu

GRAHAM & KINCAID
Across the Ocean

The completion of the first air
passage across the Atlantic Ocean
will rank for all time as a great
triumph of human daring and a
superb mechanical and scientific
achievement. 1t is not to be re.
earded as a mere daredevil stunt.
Very practical ends have been &C.
complished. One of them i'm.
mediately obvious, is that it will
help solve the problem of keeping
Germany in order.
At the time Of the armistlce, plans
were being matured for sending a
large number of planes to Europe
by air route. The planes took up a
great deal of space in vessels. which
was all needed for other equipment
Whether any big delivery could
have been made by air route was
an open question. If successful,
this means of transporting them
would have been an immense aid
to the American army.
The experiments in delivering
planes by air to Europe ought to
be worked out. so that in case of
emergency a great mass of them
could be delivered across the water
within a short time. Conditions
are going to remain unsettled in
Europe for a considerable time
Germany will be much more likely
to keep quiet and behave herself,
if she could be made to realize that
in case of revolt a thousand Amer
lean planes could be on the Rhine
within a few days
1t seems likely enough that air
navigation will be so perfected with
in few years that regular fight 6
will take place across the ocean
This will be of great benefit to
science, to business, to people in
personal relations. Urgently need
ed materials will come over in 6
day or two, 1t is conceivable that
business men and statesmen may
come to depend upon this speedy
means of travel. for prompt settle
ment of great commercial and ma
tional issues So this achievement
is not to be looked at as a mere
display of adventure spirit, but as ;
service to the country that may
profoundly affect national and dali!
life.

Home Making

Some years ago the graduation
exercises of all women's schools
had a literary flavor exclusively.
The white gowned graduates were
lovely pictures of refinement and
culture But most of them had
been taught practically nothing
about the art which has been wom-
ans chief occupation since earliest
history-that of making a home.
In those day women looked down
with some contempt upon the art
of housewifery. These were things
they could pick up any old time.
1t was soon enough to think of them
after they got married. Anybody
could learn to cook and run a house.
And besides, servants were abund
ant and cheap. If the girls married
successful man. they could turn
over all home tasks to a maid. So
why study them?
To day many schools are devoted
exclusively to the home arts. Domes
tic science courses are found in
high and grammar schools all over
the country. They will be about as
universal as arithmetic before many
years
The world is realizing better that
