SIGNS OF THE TIMES

HERE are increasing signs of
the approach of a presidential
- election year. The other day a
party of business men in Philadel-
phia hailed William Howard Taft as
the next occupant of the White
House" and yesterday the New York
Sun printed letter from Ducktown,
Tenn, telling of the organization OF
a General Leonard Wood Republican
club in that town, for the purpose
of electing Major General Wood
president of the United States" To
be sure, Ducktown is not metropo-
lis and what Ducktown thinks on
the subject may be at wide variance
with what the nation-at-large thinks
but this voice crying in the wilder
ness" has a tone that gives one pause
for thought.
Newspaper cartoonists like to
make fun of the daily gatherings in
the village grocery, where the future
of nations is settled every evening be-
fore the shutters go up at o'clock,
but the man in search of public
sentiment gathers his evidence In
Just such places. In grocery stores,
cigar stores, barber shops-where"
ever men gather and voice their
ideas on matters pertaining to gov
ernmental affairs, there is a peoples
forum, and it is from just such hum
bic discussions that sentiment is de-
veloped and public opinion formu-
lated.
Ducktown is one of thousands OF
villages where mems minds are
turning now toward the presidential
contest, and we opine that if Duck
town can muster $50 members for
a Central Wood Republican CLUB
there is considerable feeling for that
distinguished soldier throughout the
country.
Make no mistake about it, If you
want to sound out public sentiment
go into the places of common resort
where the ordinary run of American
citizens discuss the issues and thresh
out their differences. There is more
truth than humor in the old joke
about settling the fate of the country
around the cannon stove of the cross
roads store.

HURLEY ADOPTS PLAN

~ HARTMAN HURLEY, of the
Shipping Board, speaking be-
- fore the National Marine Lea
que in New York, has outlined
the plan that he will sup
port for the future operation of our
war fleet of merchant ships. While
Mr. Hurley's experience in the ship
ping world is limited to the two
years he has been connected with
the Federal Board, he has long been
a practical business man and has
the good sense to take the advice
of experts who have devoted their
lives to the operation of ships. A
comparison of the plan now put for
ward by Chairman Hurley shows L
strong resemblance to the policy for
the future of our merchant marine
worked out some weeks ago by Mr..
Rosseter, Director of Operations of

TWO YEARS OF WAR
[From the New York Times. ]


Two years ago to-day (April 6), at
3.12 in the morning, the House of
representatives, following the SEN
ate's lead, resolved in favor of war
with Germany, and formal declar-
alton was issued in the afternoon.
1t was the first time in all it's history,
if we except the little Barbary war
of more than a hundred years ago,
in which the United States ever Vot-
ed to send armed forces into the old
world to redress a grievance or
avenge an insult. Germany scoffed
loudly. She was sure that we could
never get our men across in any
number to affect the result of the
war. In fact, the common German
idea was that we intended to make
war on Japan and were merely max
ing a pretense of mobilization until
we could carry out our real and
hidden purpose. For months after
ward whenever our soldiers landed,
the Germans were told that only a
few medical officers and hospital
units had got across or ever could.
The doom of Germany was written
large, but the Germans could not
believe it and did not see it.
Now, two years from that mo-
mentous day when the naughty I'M
perial mind was beset with the no.
ton that the United States would
not fight, that we could send no sub
stantial reinforcements to the armies
of the Allies, the great. and it may
be the decisive, part of America, in
the overthrow of Germany, in bring
ing the war to an end, has been
written by the pen of history. The
nations that were arrayed against
Germany are fashioning at Paris
the bonds which will keep Germany
at peace with the world. They have
taken away her navy, they have
decreed her disarmament, they have
restored Alsace and Lorraine to
and in mercy that precedes repent
ance they are supplying to her peo-
pie food long withheld by the block
ade. Her Kaiser is a fugitive, her
military party and her general staff
are scattered, her old arrogant spirit
is broken, she has been brought to
terms, and to the autocracy she so
long endured there has succeeded
a nondescript Government of Social
lists that is unable to maintain even
domestic tranquility. These two
years have been crowded with events
unsurpassed in weight and nom ent
by any recorded in the chronicles of
any similar period in the worlds
history

OUR SOLDIER DEAD
[By Annette Kohn.1

"In Flanders fields, where poppie3
blow"
In France where beauteous roses
grow,
There let them rest--forever sleep,
While we eternal vigil keep
With our hearts love-with our
souls pray'r,
For all our Fallen "Over There"
The earth is sacred where they fell
Forever on it lies the spell
OF hero deeds in Freedoms cause,
And men unborn shall come and
pause
To say a prayer, or bow the head,
So leave these graves to hold their
dead.
Let not our signing nor our tears
Fall on them through the coming
years.
Who on the land, on sea. in air,
With dauntleSs courage everywhere,
Their homes and country glorified-
Stood to their arms, and smiling
died.
Great France will leave no need
nor room
L nat we pace mowers on thelr TOMB
And proudly DER their resting place,
viii float forever in it's grace,
Ger cross and star, and symbol tag,
Their own beloved country's Flag.
The morning sun will gild with light,
The stars keep holy watch. at night,
The winter spread soft pail of snow,
The summer flowers about them
grow,
The sweet birds sing their spring
time call,
Gods love and mercy guard them all

The Quick and the Dead
IBy Laurence Housman.l

Evening rose from a bed of rain,
And out of the West day dawned
again;
With outstretched fingers of falling
light
She touched the tree-tops and made
them bright;
And under the leaves, a-spark with
dew,
The cry of the blackbird sparkled
And every hillock, and glade, and
tree
Was filled with the makings of
melody,
AS the dying light streamed miles
along
Through murmur Of water, and leaf,
and song.
Then out of the East, in paling
mist,
The dead-faced moon came up to
be kissed;
Slow and solemn we watched her
rise,
A face of wonder with cavernous
eyes,
There life is changeless and time
without worth,
There nothing dies or is brought to
birth;
Her day is done, she is filled with
dearth,
Old she looks to the young green
earth,
Old as the foam of frozen shore.
Old-for nothing can age her more!
. young green earth, go down into
night.
Rejoice in thy youth till its days
are DER!
Time speeds, life spends; therein is
delight,
Till youth and the years can age
no more.

Charges Loss to Ludendorff

Loss of the war was charged by
a former Krupp expert to two grave
mistakes by Ludendorff, described
as the "brains of the German Army"
in his failure, first, to estimate the
wonderful possibilities of the Ameri-
can troop transport, and second, his
false assumption that Marshal
Foch's reserve army had ceased to
exist in June, 1918.
Ludendorff, he said, gambled with
the existence of Germany. He was
like jockey in a long race who
forced his horse far ahead of the
rest of the field and who, toward the
end, when the others began to gain
with their carefully reserved
strength, used whip and spurs in
a desperate effort to win, virtually
killed his mount, and yet lost after

Bill HohenzOUern

The versatility of William Hohen-
zollern when he was German Emp
orer often amazed and amused the
world But apparently it was never
fully appreciated, or perhaps was
never fully disclosed, until he went
into exile. His latest elaborate out
put from Amerongen certainly re-
veals him as many. more different
kinds of liar. and poltroon than the
world ever knew that any one man
could be.-Harveys Weekly.

the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
and formerly manager of the Paci-
fic Mail.
Mr.. Hurley announces that he is
fatty opposed to Government own
ership and operation. He is also
against Government ownership and
private operation, and looks with
disfavor upon ownership by single
private corporation with the Gov
ernment guaranteeing a certain re-
turn on the stock. Mr.. Hurleys
scheme contemplates the sale of
Government ships to private parties
who wish to operate in the foreign
trade, on the basis of twenty-five
per cent. cash, the balance payable
in annual installments over a period
of about ten years, interest thereon
to be charged by the Government
at 5 per cent. One-fifth of this
interest he would have set aside by
the Government to constitute a
merchant marine development
fund"
Each purchaser should be obliged
to take out a Federal charter, which
should limit the amount of stock to
be issued, prevent its sale to an alien
and provide that one member OF
the board of directors shall be
named by the Government. 1t is
recognized that a number of routes
that probably would be established
under the new system, while nee
essary to the future development
of American commerce, would not at
first yield operating profits. Where
the Government sold a ship for op-
Grafton on such a route it would
be necessary for the Government to
support the new line until its trade
increased sufficiently to pay its own
way. Such assistance would be eX-
tended from the merchant marine
development fund, under the super
vision of the Government directors,
who would meet periodically IN
Washington for the purpose. 1t
would be in no sense a payment
from the Treasury, but an advance
from the guarantee fund furnished
by the steamship companies them
selves. When such ships become
esta blished on their new routes and
earn a profit, the financial assistance
they have received from the Gov
ernment will be repaid from por-
ton of those profits.
To one who has been in touch
with our merchant marine situation,
it is evident that the plan repre-
sents the consensus of the best
thought and experience of the ship
ping experts connected with the
Federal Board. The fact that Mr..
Hurley's name is attached to the
scheme does not mean that he origi-
mated it, although the fact that he
is supporting such a broad and COM
prehensive policy entities him to
great credit. OF course, the success
of the whole matter depends upon
the passage of necessary legislation
by Congress. Although the recently
adjourned Democratic Congress fall
ed utterly to frame legislation for
the future administration of our
huge merchant marine fleet, the Re-
publicans have announced their in
tention of dealing with that prob
lem at the earliest possible moment
after they have organized the new
Congress and taken control of the
legislation of the country for the
next two years. The plan given
publicity by Mr.. Hurley may well
be taken as the basis for future dis
cussion, and, with improvements
that the debate may bring out, be
adopted as our future maritime
policy.

later part of October and early in No
vember in some sections was still in
evidence on the ground. A number of
the counties reported the snow fall up
to December l from two to three feet.
In Hill county and several of the
other northern Montana counties,
moisture is reported as having a depth
of from four to six inches with a good
snow fall on the ground.
Those counties which raised little
feed this year continued to ship out
cattle during November. In Richland
county it is reported there is plenty
of feed. In Rosebud practically all
livestock at the close of the month was
being fed. In Saltwater more than
1000 head of cattle and about the
same number Of sheep were shipped
out in November. In this county farm
ers are reported as generally optimis-
tic. In Yellowstone winter wheat
terminated under the first snow fall
and is in excellent condition. In this
county about 70 per cent of the sugar
beet crop "a harvested before the
end Of the month. Musselshell has
considerable moisture in the ground
and prospects are excellent for next
year. In the northern part of Lewis
& Clark winter wheat is in good shape.
In Missoula livestock is reported in
fairly good condition with sufficient
hay in the northern part of the coun-
ty to supply the local demand. Fall
wheat is in fairly good condition and
it is estimated that 40 per cent of this
years crop is still on the farms. In
Ravalli beef cattle are in good condi-
ton for the winter. About 1900 head
of cattle have been shipped into the
county for winter feeding 10000 head
of sheep. There is plenty of feed to
meet local demands and possibly a
small surplus. Surplus hay and pota-
toes are reported as selling we'll.
Reports from all the counties show
that the shipments of hay and other
feed stuffs into the counties are very
