IT is an interesting sorry that is
told by one of the correspondents of
the New York Times today regarding
the form that German propaganda
has taken in the last few weeks. It is
q story that is supported by many
reports of friction between the United
States and France that have come
across sea. We need to discount
much of this gossip because it is
plainly malevolent and malicious.
More than that it should be con-
sidered duty of the officers of the
American expeditionary force to sup
press the vicious propa ganda that is
going on in the occupied territories
and France should be equally alert to
put down the business of making
trouble between the French and
American soldiers. 1t is hard to un-
derstand how our soldiers, who have
had very complete evidence of the
German character, who have viewed
deva stated France and seen some of
the handiwork of the Hun, should
have any wish to believe German
canards regarding our allies. Yet it
is manifest that many believe these
tales made out of whole cloth. The
sooner they disabuse their minds Of
Teuton gossip the better.
- France and the United States have
stood side by side during the war and
fought for civilization and humanity
with valor that should make them
enduring friends. 1t is necessary
that we remember not only what
France has done for the cause of
freedom but what Germany has done
against it. If we keep these two facts
in mind all efforts of Teuton propa-
ganda will fail We need to keep
an open mind regarding the peace
conference and the doings and sayings
of representatives of both France and
the United States Interpretations are
too frequent and the intent back Of
the malicious part of them is so
obvious that it should be easy to pre-
vent this propaganda, these efforts to
make trouble from being successful.

THE REAL RESPONSIBILITY

Nations which have looked with
coNctous eyes on their neighbors'
goods and chattels must abandon
their ambitions, if we are to believe
the news coming from the Peace Con-
ference. A correspondent Of the New
York Times writes: 1T is not going
beyond the bounds of probability to
say that the principle of internation-
alizing the German colonies, with
future administration entrusted to
governments designated by the
League of Nations, will be recognized
by the Peace Conference. In a sue
ceeding parag graph, the correspondent
writes: THE developments today
make it clear that Italy will probably
abandon the effort TO obtain the an
nexation of Fiume and the adjacent
Dalmatian territory''
In other words there is TO be no
grabbing. The old method of dis
posing Of conquered lands has been
abandoned. Instead of being par
celled out among the victors with no
regard for the future Of the inhabi-
tantS, they are to he administered on
more Christian basis, in respect to
the colonies and given to their right
full owners, in respect to Jugoslav
territory.
In addition to administering former
German possessions, the League of
Nations has responsibility equally
as great-the preparation of the peo-
pies for self government Light should
be let into dark places. The world
will not move forward a single stem
unless the races the League of Ma
tons finds on it's hands are educated
to the benefits, moral and otherwise.
Of becoming their own legislators and
their own executives. 1t will profit
us nothing merely to increase their
commerce and our own prosperity, So
long as they are the wards Of an in
terna tional society backward peoples
should receive every announcement
to take the reins of government in
their own hands. This will be diff
cult in dealing with some Of the be-
accom- plishm ent which should be
sought, no matter how small the be-
ginning.

object to TypiSts' Clothes.
Chicago Tribune.)

Syracuse, \. Y.-The suggestion
for putting uniforms on all girls who
work in public places and recon-
mendations that stcnoeraphers wear
less transparent waists, made recent
~ by the Syracuse Council of Wom-
ems clubs, has caused a furore
among working girls here.
The WOmenS clubs declared that
girls working in public places should
be designated by a uniform cut along
much more simple lines than the
clothes many of them wear. This
was recommended as a matter Of
health. The club women also said
that stenograph ers wore their waists
cut too low and their skirts cut too
short and that silk stockings are
absolutely unnecessary for typists
They suggested that silk hose be
forbidden.
The girls say the proper way to
better the condition Of the working
girl is to help her materially instead
of finding fault because she tries to
dress like club women.

When the Senate Investigates.

\ Vigilant body like the United
States senate never fails to rise to its
duty when the proper appeal is made
to it's PATRIOTISM On evidence from
any source it can always find time to
make an investigation in the present
emergency. TO start the machinery
going it is only necessary to write a
letter to Senator Lodge. In COnse

ards of national efficiency, almost
anybody may qualify as an expert in
technical matters, naval or military,

cess to the senate naval affairs sub

years IN a p-bulding yard, that he

M IN He&ss address was his discussion
of the railroad problem. he explained
that the wages railroads are forced
to pay have been established by Con-
eress; the carriage rates which they
arc permitted to accept have been
eSta blished by the Interstate Com
mcrCe Commission. Between the up
per and neither millstones. the roads
would be crushed to pieces if they
were returned TO their private owners
under present conditions. Unless
Congress is able TO deal with the
railroad question at this session,
which seems highly improbable, an
extra session Of the new Congress
may be necessary and Congressman
Fess expressed the hope that Presi
dent Wilson would call that extra ses-
sion at his earliest convenience. In
this respect, the speaker echoed the
sentiments of the majority of those
who have considered the situation. It
is generally believed that the rail-
roads face ruin if they are returned
to private ownership before Iegisla-
ton is enacted which will place them
back on their feet. If an extra SEES
sion is necessary it may prick the dig
nifty of the Democratic party. but
America is not concerned with parties
or mon half SO much as it is worry
ing bout results.
Announcement by Congressman
t'ess that he had padlocked his lips
in regard to President Wilson'S jour
ney to Europe and the Lea que of Ma
tons because he does not want to en-
barrass the American delegates
should be taken to heart by some Of
our leading orators. If a man of Mr.
Fess' standing hesitates to embarrass
the President there is no reason why
the lesser gods should not do like
wise.

Idle labor means idle capital and the

fact capital is always pressing for

1t is probably undenia bly, true that

all the more reason why every effort

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago. June 17.-Sharp setbacks in
the value of corn today resulted largely
from excellent weather conditions for the
growing crop. The close was unsettled,
&c to 2Nc net lower, with July, s1.75h
to s1.7bH and September. s1.SsN to s1.ss.
Oats. &c to 2hc down, apd provisions
off &c to 85c.
In addition to the bearish influence of
better crop prospects, decided break in
hog quotations tended to force the corn
market lower, owing to the shrinkage
of feeding profit thus rendered certain.
The fact that In some cases the price of
corn was up about 13c bushel COM
pared with q week ago Saturday counted
likewise in favor of q reaction. Heavy
profit taking sales by houses with east
ern connections took place and much more
than offset persistent buying that was as
scribed to rural sources. Most of the
ders to purchase were for small lots. Such
rallies as took place had no unusual en-
ergy.
Oats weakened with corn. Country deal
ers were moderate buyers on the break.
Provisions were depressed in conse-
quence Of the bearish action Of cereals
and hogs. Besides. an increase was shown
in the semi monthly statement OF ware
house stocks here. and 1t was said that
shipping demand both domestic and ex
port was rather slow.
