THE PLAIN MAN SITS
IN THE SEAT OF THE MIGHTY


WHEN the President declares, as he did
" yesterday TO the conference Of Gov.
ernors and Mayors, that the business OF
government is TO take counsel for the
average man." he defers 70 a constituency
whose mandatory powers are very i'm.

tact 1t is congenial to his optimistic tenn.

a master from whom modern governments
must take their orders or fall. The com.

rosy view. 1t is perfectly understood"

effect an early and drastic change in rela-
ton 20 military establishments, and here
the attitude of the German Government must
be a deciding factor. That government will
perhaps retort that. on their side, they
cannot do away with conscription or reduce
compulsory service to the proportions Of

league of nations in being and receive at r.
hands a peace which secures for Germany
the means of living. The question Is apt
TO fall into a vicious circle 1t is. therefore,
very much to the good that the party which
now holds the dominant position in the
German Government should be approached
by men of the same political sympathies In
other nations and appealed to on the side
OF the humanitarian principles which 1t pro-
fesses, and not only on the side of diplomatic
bargaining.
The case for assigning to labor a special
position in the peace negotiations has always
rested on this fundamental identity of atti-
tude In the labor parties of all peoples.
Labor stands to gain less and to suffer moro
by war and by all forms of national rivalry
than any other class. There is, therefore, In
the intelligent and broad-mnded labor leader
a greater readiness to adopt an International
outlook, to see problems Of nationality and
questions of diplomacy in broader and more
human relations and, in fine, to fall back on
that common basis of human interest which
Is apt to be so completely overlooked in the

THE Berne conference has had the merit
1 of bringing the representatives OF enemy
peoples for the first time into real touch
with one another. We get some indication
OF the German mind both on the RESPONSE
billty for the war and its conduct and on the
ri'ure OF militarsm. The Independent Ger
man Socialists frankly admit the RESPONSE
billty of their country and censure the treat
ment Of prisoners. 1t is of no small impor.
tance that an important section Of the Ger
man people should avow these views before
an international conference. The Majority
Socialists, who now represent the backbone
Of the German Government, are, of course.
in a different position, and 1t cannot be said
that their attitude upon disarmament Is
wholly satisfactory. They admit that hithcr-
TO they have retained the project Of a citizen
army, whatever that may mean. upon their
program but whether under the influence Of
the conference atmosphere or of wider con-
siderations. they undertook to advocate
disarmament at their next party conference

PRODUCED 10000 EGGS

TEN STATE HENS HAVE
A remarkable instance of produe-
tivity in fowls is found in the re-
ccrd of ten White Leghorn hens at
the Ohio Experiment Station which
have produced 10000 eggs. Two of
of the hens are nine years old, six
are eight years old, and two are five
years of age.
The "ace" of the lot, "C-34," has
1,179 eggs to her credit; she is fol-
lowed closely by "C-38" with a total
or ,147. The other eight follow
closely in production. Two of the
hens are from, an original lot of pull
lets purchased in 1909 when the poul-
try .investigational work was begun
at the Ohio Station.
None of the hens show any particu-
lar effects of old age. While their
annual production is less than during
the earlier laying periods, they still
lay regularly during the spring and
SIMMER months. Each of these hens
has produced approximately $25
worth of eggs, at ordinary market
prices, at a feed cost of about $40.
