for emotion. The war is over, tho fufilitv

the French and Belgian people stagger un-
der the burden of his terrible destruction
while the German, escaping the burden. re-
cuperates for new adventure lie exnccts
to escape. A year ago he was starving mill
ions; to-day he openly demands that the
world feed him. His propaganda is every
where at work, in Paris and out of it. and
such small part of the non-militarv mart
of the world as thinks of the German
desert, knows it as it exists, that one fears
that the world Will forget.

These Persisted

And IN the Paris conference there is to
be talk of the responsibility not alone for
the acts of war after the contest itself
came, but for tho causing of the war If
only one could translate into words that
had q meaning the fact of the dead and
deserted battlefelds, that shell torn region
one looks down upon from KENNEL and
from Scharfenberg, the region that was
once the Ypres salient! At least half a
million men died there. few sleep in
graves, but for the most part they and
their graves have been ground I'D in the
never ending pound Of ceaseless lombard
ments.
A year ago every ridge, every slope, every
heap of dust and ashes had its military
value and an historic meaning. Men died
by the thousand to advance few hundred
yards; but now all the hills and ruins have
been it were demonetized. They have
no further value. The Germans lost them.
the British advanced beyond, the war has
gone and peace cannot return Half d mill
ion dead remain, but nothing for which
they fought to the end is worth a second
thought, nothing in the material facts And
the Hndenburg line, the Somme battle
fields, it is the same thing in both cases
million and half of dead sleep between
the User and the Somme but in the lands
they died to hold no living thing stays, save
a few prisoners and their guards. The
trenches dsntegrate in the rain the
barbed wire rusts in the brown of the
landscape, the snake grass is beginning to
bury everything.
And for all this some one must pay, not
a matter OF punishment, that is another
question; but some one must pay in order
that this part Ct the German plan may not
prevail, that this much of civilization may
not perish, that this corner of France may
not die. In Flanders, Artois, Picardy, you
get the full measure OF the German fury
of destruction. A more terrible force one

From this small beginning has grown
these three numerically strong, highly sue
cessful and tremendously powerful agricu-
tural organizations of TODAY. perhaps the
only really successful example of agricu-
tnral cooperation, and certainly one of the
most interesting studies in the cooneraticr
OF large body Of prime producers. The
commercial ventures foated during the sub
seQuent years as independent companies,
the stock of which is held entirely by mem
bers Of the other organizations, have en-
abled them to develop their educational
aims. The annual four-day conventions Of
the three associations are the real parlia-
ments of Middle Western Canada. It would
surprise casual visitor, going to one OF
these conventions and expecting merely
short course IN agricultural science. to find
instead thousand or more enthusiastic
farmers debating, with considerable ability,
almost everything except the practice OF
farming. The records Of these conventions
show that besides recommending to the
provincial and federal governments the
establishment of cooperative elevators.
banks, dairies and trading associations. free
trade, single tax, and many other economic
reforms, the grain growers urged women's
suffrage many years before that measure
was generally favored and were almost the
first sponsors in Canada of the ideas OF
direct legislation and proportional repre
sentation.
The action that has been obtained upon
many of these recommendations, especially
during the last few years since the power
OF the associations has been clearly demon
stated, is the greatest testimony to their
determination. In the federal field, too.
the influence of the grain growers has
made itself felt with greater force every
year, and as the directors OF public opinion

on which the village stood, she looked out
upon land torn by shell fire until it re-
sembled skeleton rather than the flesh.
Along every swell in the slopes actually
behind it crumbling dugouts, ugly holes
in the ground slowly sinking under the
action of the rains, separated from each
other by endless rows of barbed wire, sown
everywhere with little crosses, themselves
half fallen, where dead men were buried
at hazard-this was her own country,
And beyond the nearer view, curve on
curve, the land swelled away in all direc-
tons, a monotonous waste without a tree,
without single surviving habitation, with
out any obstacle to interrupt the vision
not desert with clean sand, but waste
in which everything spoke of decay follow
ing death For nearly twenty miles in
either direction this desert extended. East
ward against the horizon was the skeleton
Of Bourbon Woods, where the first battle
of Cambria was won and lost III 1917.
Westward was Arras, behind the slope, the
city of a thousand bombardments, gone
now to dust and ashes in the main. Here
where there had been smiling villages, fer
tile fields and happy people was nothing
but q desolation tragic beyond expression.
And all this was not the wreck of bat
ties. 1t was nothing of the sort. In Jan
uary, 1917, Hindenburg had said, eve shall
retreat twenty miles, wasting the country
to create desert in front of US; thus we
shall escape an Allied attack while we
settle with Russia" and with German thor
oughness the thing was done. The people
were marched off to Belgium to be fed by
American relief missions, or to die The
villages were destroyed, the roads mined
every living thing was cut down, every in
animate thing was blown up. So the Ger
man desert was created, and so it remains
sown with millions of unexploded
shells, the debris of late battles, with he'll
NETS and hand grenades, pegion where
every heap of ruins is deadly peril, where
the plough must reopen burrows among
live shells.

Reorganization Of the public school

with suggestions of the United States
Bureau Of Education, will be asked in
. brief to be presented this morning
to the Reconsideration Commission by
DR.. John Van Schaick, jr., president

said to be provided for In the BRET
The Board of Education has been
meeting daily In executive session to
complete the brief which Is reported
to include certain drastic changes In
the public school system.
One Of the changes suggested by the
y. s. Bureau of Education In a recent
report on a survey here. Is establish
ment OF about fifty supervising prin-
cipais In place Of the thirteen now
holding office. This would mean crea-
tion Of a large number OF subdivisions

Other sweeping changes indorsed
by the Bureau of Education were
studied by the board In preparing

attention was paid the recommenda-
ton of the bureau that six assistant

MONEY ADVANCE
HURTS BUT few
Earlier Gains on Market
Allow Spectators to
,Evade Big Losses.
BSBRoADAN WALL.

New York. Dec. S-The sudden ADJ
vance OF the call money rate to 10 per
cent late this afternoon took the Dull
enthusiasm out OF the stock market
and closed II IN a reactionary eondi-
ton. Final prices were about the
lowest OF the day in many issues, out
net losses were comparatively few,
because in the morning there had
been a general advance. The early
advance was based on the theory
that the coal strike was ended and
that President Wilson would prevent
any further trouble at this time with
Mexico.
As soon as II was known that there
would be no decisions from the So
preme Court. free selling made its ap-
pearance throughout the list At first
il was short selling. but in the last
hour considerable profit-taking and
Hquidation made their appearance.
Exchange went to new low records.
Sterling sold down to ass. francs to
ll.Os and lire to la This break in
foreign exchange was the only bull
lish development of the day. The
lower exchange makes II certain that
vast quantities OF commodities hoard
ed in American warehouses for export
TO Europe by profiteers will have to
be distributed in this country. With
money at 10 per cent the warehouses
will be emptied sooner, and therefore
higher money is really a bull argu-
ment. The release of these boarded
stores will reduce the cost Of living
in America and improve the bank
condition
The first weakness in the market
followed announcement that automo-
bile factories in Detroit had closed
for hack of fuel. This hurt all the
motor stocks. although many Of them
have no factories in. that city. From
them II extended tn the rubber and
tire shares. then to the oils and finally
to everything. Mullins Body remained
strong on u reports that it had or
ders that would compel II to double
It's present capacity and that would
insure earnings of ut least s. a share

ternational Paper were the two
strong features in the last hour.
