HATE NO MORE.

Hate is an ugly word, but when hate
is personified and becomes RESPONSE
bic for vengeful conduct, it is hate in
the superlatiye degree.
This is the good promise day of the
year. What better promise cap any
one make than a promise to hate no
more?
Life is not long enough to make it
pay to hate, or to even cherish ill will
toward anyone. What if some one has
played you false? What if some friend
has forsaken you in your time Of
need? Let it pass. What difference
will it make to you in a few years
when you have changed worlds? Hate
never righted wrong in this world,
nor will it in the world to come If
those who try to harm you fail to tar
nish your life with hate, fail to dim
your smiles and pleasures, they will
have failed in their attempts.
On this glad New Year, why not
promise that you will drive hate out Of
your life, and keep him out during
the coming 365 days? .+

his ardent conviction that the sacri-
flee will have been in vain unless a
new order of things comes out Of the
war and his children and his chill
dren's children are guaranteed against
a repetition of the tragedy that he has
lived. Speaking for him, it is their
solemn duty, to make sure that their
words are translated into action, and
made effective
They can do it, regardless of the po-
litical opposition which each must in
evitably encounter at home, and we
can think of nothing that would bring
more confidence and inspiration to the
mass of mankind than the assurance
that on all the really vital questions
of peace and reconstruction Woodrow
Wilson and David Lloyd George were
acting as one man, with single mind
and single purpose.

GOOD FOR HENRY.
(Yeoman Shie1d)

A meeting was recently held in New
York City for the purpose Of raising
funds for an auxiliary war movement.
Henry Ford was present on invitation
and. as is his custom, was prepared
to make liberal subscription. 1t
developed that those in charge were
intent on securing large donations by
a polite form of coercion. A large
blackjack was suspended over the
heads of certain individuals singled
out for the purpose and a demand
made for subscriptions, the amount
in each instance being specified by
those manipulating the affair. Mr..
Ford was quietly informed that a
subscription of ten thousand dollars
was expected from him and that un-
less it was forthcoming he would
speedily become the center of attrac-
ton as the blackjack would be shifted
to position above him He very
properly and very promptly left the
hall
If the truth could be learned We
would undoubtedly discover that ev-
cry man in that meeting who possessed
normal self-respect felt exactly as
Henry Ford did; the only difference
being that Mr.. Ford had grit enough
to protest against an unmanly and
unwarranted assumption OF purely
personal prerogative.
No matter how worthy the motive
there can be no condoning such gross
violations of the liberty of thought
and action vouch-safed to Americans.
The fact that the New Workers
chose the blackjack-once the ensign
of pirates-as the medium through
which they operated does not lessen
the 'offense.
Henry Ford rendered a real service
when he walked out of that meeting.
We need more men who have the
courage of their convictions.

STAND BY WILSON SAYS "UNCLE
JOE.s

aUncle Joe" Cannon, probably the
next Republican speaker OF the House
of Representatives, had this to say
when asked for his views upon the
royal reception accorded President
Wilson in Europe:
"He is our President. He is
wonderfully bright man, and even
though we may differ as to the means
by which he seeks to accomplish what
we all desire-a permanent peace-it
is our duty to stand by him while he
is away
'He wanted peace without victory,
and now he has victory without peace;
but we all wish him well and hope he
will come back with treaty which
can be ratified without material
change.
"If, however, within such a short
SPACE of time as he has laid out for
his trip such treaty cannot be draft
ed, thank God we have a Senate to
aid him, Senate of which it takes
two-thirds to ratify treaty.
"Some of the people talk about
making league Of nations as though
they were merely being measured for
a new suit of clothes. Why, bless
you, there are so many things to be
considered that you need not be sur
prised if it takes long time to make
treaties, not to mention forming a
league of nations.
''All kinds of problems confront us
when we talk of forming league of
nations.
II hope that in making up treaties
or forming league for the enforce
ment of peace we shall see all nations
treated fairly-and take id good
care that they treat us fairly.
81 wish the President all kinds of
good luck ! hope he makes a good
spoon without spelling horn"

Conflicting claims of Italy and the
new Jugo-Slav state, which is to
emerge from the world war either as
greater Serbia under the karegorge-
witch dynasty or, perhaps, as Jugo-
Slav republic, offer some of the most
intricate problems which have to be
settled at the peace table.
Even if the settlement could be
made solely along racial and lingu-
istic lines it would not be simple. The
boundaries of the .Jugo-Slav territory
along the eastern shore of the adriatic
as well as further back in both Aus
tria and Hungary, are far from being
plainly fixed. If self determination Of
peoples could be made the sole guide,
the settlement still would present diff
ticulties, although with the exceptions
of comparatively few districts, there
is no doubt that all the Serbs, Croats
and SlOvenes are ready to unite under
one government guaranteeing freedom
Of religion and local customs.
Other Questions involved.
But there are other questions in

great ports on the eastern side Of the
Adriatic-Trieste, a city of great COM
mercial Importance, and Pola, the
great naval base These will serve to
make the Adriatic safe for power
like Italy.
If Italy, on her side. will consent to
make Trieste free port this city will
become the great commercial outlet
for. Germany. Austria, Hungary, and
large part of Jugo-Slavia. If, on the
other hand, Italy insists on enforcing
Italian customs dues at Trieste, it is
not unlikely that the city will be ruined
commercially.
May Compensate Italy.
Some compensation in other quar-
tiers will have to be made by the allies
to Italy for what they promised if their
promises cannot be fulfilled. Italy is in
great need of industrial and financial
help. She needs money and raw mate
rails. 1t may be that the allies will be
able to compensate her for giving up
the Dalmatian coast by furnishing
these.
The United States, controlling as 1t
does. great sources of raw materials
and the vastest wealth of any hntiOn

MEAT Increase
AT THE NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief SEp-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan OF con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signifl-
canoe. as 1t demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Adj
ministration by the meat producers Of
the country.
According to reports Of the q. S.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle Of 10,23S0 900 head
and 12,441 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January last. In the same
period there was decrease OF $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
lion indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase In hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,600,OO0,O0O pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903,172,00 pounds,
while for the same months Of 1918 the
production was 1877, $4,000 pounds.
an increase of over 100000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 In
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 100000 900 pounds as
against l,454,O0O,0OO pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year
We must increase our meat snip
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands Of the MIL
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation OF
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its deticien-
cy. At the same time there Will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports OF
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

JUGO-sLAV TERRITORIES.

treaty is y be one which will remove
the causes of international friction in
this quarter of the globe.
Reference to the map above will help
greatly to understand the problems
which must be settled around the
peace table.
1t will be seen that, under the arm
istice terms. Italy now has control Of
the greater part Of the eastern coast
of the Adriatic from the old Italian
frontier down almost to what before
the war was the coast of Montenegro.
Italy desires for several reasons to
keep this territory, though it's popula-
ton is overwhelmingly Slavic.
ItaIys Historic Claim.
First there is the historic claim. For
centuries.Dalmatia belonged to the re-
public of Venice. and Venice itself is
now a part of reunited Italy.
On the other hand Venice never col
onized this territory to any great ex-
tent.
Italy bases her claim to the eastern
shore of the Adriatic also on . fact
that it contains all the good harbors
on that sea.
Menace Disproved by War.
The Italian claim is that any power
which holds this coast can dominate
the Adriatic sea. closing it to italian
shipping and putting the whole Italian
coast in jeopardy. This claim, it
would seem, has been disproved by
Italy herself during the recent war.

Austria was a power far greater than
the new Jugo-Slav state is likely to
be. 1t had modern ships of war and
was REINFORCED by many German sub
marines. Yet Italy dominated the
Adriatic completely because she had
the stronger navy. Her ships were
able to keep the Austrian battleships
hiding behind their rocky islands and
even to curb the German submarines
so that, as the war continued, they
became less and less of a menace.
Jugo-Slavia, by tradition, is not q
naval power. Guaranteed its independ,
ence by league Of great nations and
assured of Italy's good WILL there is
no reason to believe that it ever would
find it expedient to assume the finan-
cial burden which the building Of a
navy of sufficient size to challenge Ital-
ian supremacy in the Adriatic would
entail.
Promised Property Of Others.
The third claim of Italy to the great
er part Of the east coast of the Adri-
attic is based on the fact that it was
promised to her by England, France
and Russia as an incentive for enter.
ing the war.
Great pressure was brought to bear
on Italy by the belligerents on both
sides to induce her to enter the war
The Italian national spirit was aroused
and the public demand for the re-
demption Of the lands populated by
Italians, but under Austrian rule, be-
came strong. Austria offered Italy
some territorial concessions, but not
enough. The entente allies, on the
other hand, recognized all of Italy's
claims and promised, in the event of
victory, to give Italy not only the
Trentino and Trieste but the entire
Dalmatian coast.
Bargain Sealed in Secret.
This bargain, made before the as
piratiOns of the JugO-Slavs for freedom
had taken such concrete form and be-
fore the United States had entered

forth the principle of self-determina.
ton, was sealed by the "secret" agree
ment of London which did not long re-
main secret. There is every reason
to believe. however, that Serbs was
not consulted in the matter and that
her interests were entirely disregard
ed.
Serbia, which had sacrificed so much
in the war, was justly indignant when
the bargain became known, but to her
everlasting credit ii may be said that
this little country, even though con-
sidering itself betrayed, did not fal-
ter in its loyalty to the allied cause

let to the sea.
There can pc no doubt that the un-
rest caused thereby contributed in
some measure to the outbreak of the
world war, and there can be no further
doubt, that, if the Jugo-Slavs, of which
the Serbs are an important part, are
again cut off from q suitable outlet to
the sea by the treaty Of peace the I'M
rest in the Balkans will continue.
1t would seem that there must be
concessions on both sides if this matter
is to be settled. The Jugo-Slavs, per-
haps. will have to consent to the ceding
of, say, the whole Istrian peninsula to
Italy. This will leave considerable
