(Conclusion.)

Americans are being asked in a whining voice, Will you send your
 boy to fight ill Mesopotania? Do
 you agree that he should be sent to
 interfere in some petty quarrel in
 the Balkans?' But American boys were perfectly willing to fight for
 Belgium. as american boys have al ways been willing to fight for an oppressed people; to say otherwise is an insult to our soldiers. IL is a ,stultiication of our Americanism
 Tn this respect, as a matter of fact. these otiectors are making the most vicious attack upon ore of the most cherished of American principles, be- cause they practically charge that the Congress of the Unltcj States
 from now until doomsda: will be false to its solemn obligations. This country cannot go to war without specific act of Congress. 4 state of war cannot be declared except by Congress. If a recommendation is made by the League of Nations
 for the employment of force, it still remains for Congress to declare war, and it is for Congress to decide whether a single man or a single ship shall be sent anywhere"
 MT. Creel exhibited a fine scorn for the opposition when mentioned iShan-tung. "These opponents of the league" he said, ''can hardly re- strain themselves when they refer
 to China being handed over to the tender mercies of Japan. They charge that President Wilson proved
 himself false to every one of his own preachments when he agreed
 to that thing. l would remind them
 that Shan-tung was formerly in the
 hands of Germany. but one searches
 in vain through the records for any
 hold Shan-tung. If it is evil to-
 iquity of Germany being allowed to hand Shan-tung. If it is evil to-
 day, it was evil then; but not a
 single protest was heard. l sup pose the present outburst of moral
 indignation is but the explosion of
 the pent-up emotion which commenc-
 ed generating when the Germans
 went 10 Shan-tung.

Washingtonians paid in February
moro for sirloin steak than any other

that Washington was not only the

The End of Peters Nap.

Peter Rabbit has slept in some
queer places, but never had he taken
nap in such a queer place as he
was now doing. He was sitting on
Buster Bear under a great pile of
brush in the Green Forest Buster
was asleep. too, but Busters sleep
was not a nap. 1t was that strange
deep sleep in which certain people
Of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows spend the winter. If it had
oeen just an ordinary nap you may
pc sure Peter Rabbit would not have
been where he now was.
Peter hadn't intended to go to
You see, he had discovered Buster
in that deep sleep and had known
that while he was in that sleep he
was no more to be feared than if he
were dead. He had jumped up on
Buster very lightly in spirit of
such a soft resting place that Peter
had sat there little while and with
out meaning to do anything of the
|. kind had gone to sleep.
1t was very. very still in that bed

At first he had very pleasant dreams.
the kind of dreams we all like to
dream. But by and by he had a very
queer dream. He seemed to be in
the dear Old Brier Patch under his
favorite bramble bush. But some
thing was wrong with the ground
under him 1t kept moving. 1t rose
and fell and twitched so that Peter
became most uncomfortable. It gave
him a funny feeling in his stomach.
II Peter had known anything about
seasickness he would have recog-
nized that funny feeling. It made
him most uncomfortable and at the
same time it frightened him. All
this was in the dream, you know.
After awhile Peters eyes flew
open. At first he couldn't remember
where he was, and he thought he
must still be dreaming. You see he
still felt those queer movements un-
der him. For moment he sat there
blinking his eyes and trying to make
out where he was. Then all in a
flash he remembered. At the very
same instant he realized that those

SHIP BOARD TO USE
GREAT OIL SUPPLY
Bids Invited for Millions of
Barrels to Furnish Fuel
in Merchant Marine.
WILL SEEK new SOURCES

To meet the demands OF tho ship
ping board for liquid fuel for the
| coming year oil men must supply L.
428, 100000 gallons. or 34.000,000 bar
rels. Bids for this vast quantity OF
oil have been invited by the board It
| Is only a beginning. however The an
nua1 needs in future win be many times
the number Of gallons mentioned.
It is the ultimate purpose OF the
shipping board to use only oil. where
it's use is practicable, for fuel This
will mean that the output Of thou
sands Of wells will be used to create
motive power for the merchant ma
rine of the nation Chairman Hurley
said the freer use Of oil would result
in greater conservation Of coal
Conserves Cargo Space.
Moreover. it would conserve cargo
space and result in a.number Of other
economies. Many Of the new ships Of
the merchant fleet are using oil ex-
clusiveIy for fuel, and the board hopes
to be able to use the same kind OF
fuel in the older boats.
OF the quantity Of Oh asked for
100000 barrels must be delivered in
Mexican ports. This, it is presumed.
will be obtained from Mexican oil
wells. The board has not set a maxi
mum price for the fuel. but Mr.. Hur-
ley hopes to be able to obtain it at
maximum price Of $1.65 a barrel. The
minimum price, depending on the
quality Of the oil and conditions of
delivery, Is expected to be about $1.31
a barrel
These prices are far below the cost
to the board Of oil during the war.
The product cost the board from $1.93
to $3.50 a barrel These high prices
are going to be permitted to remain in
the past.
Hope for Lower Prices.
'This is the first time that the
board as such has arranged to buy
oil in bulk" said an officer of the or
ganization During the war oil was
bought by the ship operators and at
prices which we will not now be re-
| quired to pay. We hope to be able to
| get it at a much lower rate than pre-
| vailed during the active period Of the
| war"
1t is expected by the shipping board
| that it's great demand for oil will
| stimulate the industry of "oil pros
pecting." Secretary of the Interior
Lane said recently that there is an
abundance Of oil in the United States

queer movements beneath him were
real and not a dream at ali!
Peter made a wild jump and scram-
bled under the brush. Then he
turned to peek at Buster Bear. Bus
ter's big legs were twitching. He
would kick first one and then an
other. His big sides were beginning
to heave. He was making strange
little grunting and gurgling sounds.
Then it came to Peter what was hap

Food Believed Too high.

Most persons are Of the opinion that
food is selling on too high level
This opinion is considered correct
when one knows that bread made of
American flour brings fancier price
in this country than in London. Meat
likewise commands a higher price In
New York than in London, though it
is shipped from Chicago to New York
and thence overseas.
On top of the figures presented by
the bureau of statistics of the Labor
Department. it has been predicted by
experts of the Department of Agricul-
ture that pork is about due for a RISE
This commodity increased 81 per hun
dred pounds in the last two weeks

cents pound, this price being Z
cents cheaper than Washington paid.
Philadelphia likewise paid less than
Washington.
Since these figures are considered
true because Of their origin. 1T Is
thought quite natural to assume that
in each of the cities where prices were
obtained other commodities were rel
atiyely affected. In such a case W ash
ington did not hold an enviable posi-
ton.
Those acquainted with conditions
are of the opinion that there is either
something radically wrong with the

food is one Of the determining factors
in regard to wages. Industrial activ-
ity is said to cause delays in many
ways because Of the necessity of high
wages. Overcharge for meats there

WASHINGTON, July 25.- LP) - Especial to The CitizenD In the hearings today of the special appro- priation measure for the Alaskan railroad before the house committee on territories, Representative John son of Washington, who is mem Der of the committee. called that body's attention to the slogan origin ated and adopted by The Daily AL aska Citizen: Alaska Can Pay the Nations War Debt"
 Representative Johnson informed the committee that this slogan is but a conservative statement con corning the vast resources of that rich territory as AIaskas minerals, oil and agricultural possibilities can and will produce more than enough. in the future, to wipe out the in debtedness contracted by the gosern- ment during the War
 This short line of seven words made a great hit with the members of the committee and was the basis of much praise of the Northern ter ritory. After quoting the slogan, thc Washington representative produced facts and figures to prove thaJ the statement it makes is true. He told the committee, that much of AIaska'S development depends upon the early completion of the railroad and the failure of congress to appropriate sui ficient money for this purpose during this session, will result not alone in added cost to the construction of the project but will retard the growth of the territory to a great extent.
 He urged that the bill carrying s17,000,000 for the immediate com pletion of the railroad be reported upon faVorably by the committee and every effort made to effect its pas sage thru the house, thereby, to a certain extent, helping Alaska pay the Nations war debt

OMAHA, July 25-(P)-Addressing the democratic leaders of this city and the surrounding country this evening, Chairman Cummings of the clared he was very tired of men criti- cizing the President on petty grounds merely because they have nothing on which to base their comments. He sounded the new slogan of the demo- cratic party as "blow for blow" stat ing that it was not his intention to stand meekly by and see the repub- licans islander the party's every prin ciple.
 He impressed upon his audience the necessity for concerted action in the coming campaign and told them that the time has now come when all democrats must stand together, regardless of personal feeling. He declared the democrats must aggres- sively press every advantage as it presents itself and carry the cam paign into the enemy's territory.
 Chairman Cummings sincerely be- lieves that the democratic candidate will be carried to victory in the coming Presidential election but he warns the various leaders against becoming over-confident.

COBLENZ, July 25, (P) Officers of the American army of occupation are becoming convinced that the Germans are just as crooked in com mcrcial activities as they were bar barous during hostiIities. Sixty resi- dents of Cologne, Berlin and other German cities were arrested today by officers of the intelligence branch of the army charged with plotting 10 dcfraud the American government of huge sum of money.
 These officers, who are the secret service agents of the army of occu- patton. uncovered a plot by which the Germans hoped to gain millions of marks at the expense of the United States. The Germans planned to eliminate all competition at the auc- lions of American army supplies to be held in the near future and there by be able to purchase the valuable stores at a minimum figure.
 Under the regulations governing the auctions, the supplies are to be sold to the highest bidder, with no reservations. The conspiracy of the German merchants provided that but one bid should be made on each separate lot of merchandise and thus force the auctioneer to accept price far below the real value of the sup plies.
