MUCH IN LITTLE.

The total number of people that
the world can maintain is estimated
at 6,0O0,0 100000, or about four
four times the present population.
At the present rate Of increase, this
figure will be reached in some 200
years.
The general scheme, planned be-
fore the war, of placing under
ground all the wires acquired from
the National Telephone company in
1912, has, according to the London
Times, been put in hand, starting
with Leeds (England) district, plans
also having been made and con-
tracts placed for many other big
centers.

Consul George L. Logan reports
from Penang, Straits Settlements,
that the action of the Philippine
government in appropriating 1,000,-
900 pesos for increasing the produc-
ton of rice and corn has attracted
considerable favorable attention in
the Straits Settlements. and it is be-
lieved that the government may take
steps for the same object.
1t has been pointed out to the
farmers that the growing of fax,
when planted in rotation with other
crops, causes no more exhaustion of
the soil than other cereals and not
so much as oats. Flax takes con-
siderably more nitrogen from the
soil than wheat or oats, but that
chemical property can be replaced by
rotating the fax with clover.
There is inquiry for dairy cows
that will milk, a good market for

shortage of butter all over Europe
and Britain as well. This will mean
a demand for some time. Cheese is
in greater supply, but not sufficient
to meet the demand.

Not Patriotism, but Stupidity.

Difficulty in finding German delegates will
ing to sign the peace treaty gives further
illustration of the state of mind in which the
people of the defeated empire exist. Instead of
its being inspired by patriotism, this is merely
further exhibition of the stupidity that led
them to the disaster they now lack the moral
courage to realize. To sign an agreement to
live in amicable relations with the rest OF the
world, to recant the wrong they pursued, and t.
make reparation for inexcusable damage wrought,
should not be looked upon as humiliating
in any sense. The wicked pride that sustained
the hosts of Germany in their futile effort to
subdue the world must give way to loftier
and nobler inspiration if the future is to bring
to them anything that is worth having in either
a material or spiritual way. Men who sim
cerely and whole heartedly bent to the restora-
ton OF the German people to place in the
confidence of the world can do their country
no greater service than to pledge themselves
honestly to carry out the requirements of the
peace treaty, which is the first step to the new
life for Germany. Those who stubbornly with
hold their approval, clngng to the thought that
the war from their side was justihable and its
horrors warranted, will only prolong the period
of probation through which the nation must
pass till it be wholly purged of its mistaken no.

Controlling Food Prices.

Bills introduced in the senate at Washington
by Messrs. Kendrick of Wyoming and Kenyon
of Iowa have for their purpose the regulation
of the meat packing industry. The end is to do
away with food control, both in price and dis
tribution. In the absence of the text of these
measures, consideration in principle only may
be given them.
On the day the measures were brought for
ward hogs sold at the highest price ever
recorded on the Omaha market At the same
time, the December option on corn closed sew
eral cents higher than the actual cash price
for the cereal last December. This in the face
of break in corn prices ascribed to improved
crop conditions.
What connection is there between these facts
and the alleged control of stock yard manage
ment by the big packers?
In the end, it makes little material differ
ence to the packer what price he pays for the
raw material, The cost is made the basis for
the selling price, and the consumer pays it. To
uproot entirely the great fabric of the meat
packing industry in the United States, where it
has reached its highest and most efficient de-
velopment, could have no more effect than to
destroy the source through which the farmer is
enabled to secure the splendid prices he is now
obtaining for his products Chaos may be
established where order now prevails, but who
would benefit from the process?
Statements made by Mr.. Colver of the Fed
eral Trade board were quite fully refuted by the
replies of the packers before the congressional
committees last spring. 1t has not been estab-
lshed that combinations of packers, either for
the purchase or distribution of meats and other
food supplies, affect the price adversely to the
consumer. On the other hand, service that
must be maintained has been traced to them.
When congress or some state legislature will
grasp the nettle and take cognzance of the
speculative elements in dealing in foods in this
country, the remedy may be discovered and
applied.

A Sailors Aunt-You ask: Can

use of the United States navy. !

wrote they would leave England for
the Orkney islands May Is, to sweep
| mines from the Baltic sea. We
have not heard from him since"
That you have not yet had word
from this boy is not surprising. The
Bee has no record of the movement
of these vessels, but if the ship sailed
on May Is for the Orkneys, and from
thence to the Baltic, sufficient time
to get letter off and have it sent
to American scarcely has elapsed. If
you will write to the Navy Depart
ment, Washington, D. c., you may
get information as to the where
abouts of the Graham.
Many Questions Answered.

A Father-The last address we
have for the 414th telegraph bat
talon is A. P. o. 1877. This unit is
in the service of supply, with head
quarters at Orleans.
A Soldiers Mother-No orders
have been issued yet for the i'm
mediate return of the 18th company
transportation corps, now at St.
Nazaire. However, its departure
will not be long delayed.
c. L. W.-See answer to A Sol
dier's Mother, foregoing. These
units are very busy getting the rest
of the army out of France, and will
not be released for return until their
service can be dispensed with.
Mrs. NJ. B.--American troops are
soon to be withdrawn from Siberia;
they are employed in guarding prop
erty, principally military stores, and
are not engaged in the warfare now
going on in western Siberia.
Mrs. G. A. Milf you will write
to the adjutant general of the army
Washington D. c., you can obtain
full information as to the soldier for
whom you inquire. The government
still gives notice to relatives of the
death of any soldier. Those who
have died from accident or disease
since the signing of the armistice
are well known and no mystery sur
rounds their taking off. If you have
not had official notification of the
death of the soldier, it is quite likely
he is alive. However, it will do no
harm to ask the adjutant general for
the facts. Be sure to give his name,
and the letter and number Of his
company and regiment. The last
address we have for the Second Bal
loon company is A. P. o. 914.

Remove the Cause.

North Platte, Neb., June 21.-To
the Editor of The Bee: Will you
permit in the columns of your valued
paper few lines expressive of the
thoughts thronging through my
mind as read the strong con-
demnation launched against So
called lawless bands, termed boil
sheviks, anarchists, socialists, l. W.
WIS, etc. Now, l am a firm believer
and say that they who will not obey
the law deserve the severest pun
ishment that can be melted out to
them, showing no favor to any one,
no matter how high their station or
how low their character, and it is
the duty of all good citizens to see
that justice is done.
Now let us see how we can remedy
the evil. We think that if lawless-
| ness Is a result there must be a
cause and that the cause may also
be lawless and deserving the same
punishment. Medical men know
disease is caused by germs and they
| try to destroy the germ in order to
| make their patient again healthy in
| body and mind; the farmer knows
that If the weeds be allowed to
flourish it will result in the death
of his crop, and SO they follow,
cause and effect, the pruning of a
limb won't kill the tree. You must
treat with the roots.
We in America have the best coun-
try on earth with ample room for all
to live happily and be prosperous,
We have the best form of govern
men in the world; where soon I hope
man and woman will stand on equal
footing before the law and let us
not disgrace it by letting cause and

sire some covenant between nations
to prevent war No covenant will
prevent war that does not say in so
many words the Monroe Doctrine
shall forever, or in the life of the
covenant at Leaf, remain understood
as it is today understood by America.
If there is one thought, one
clause, one word that leaves any
doubt that America shall conduct
it's own affairs as it conducts them
today, the benefit of the doubt must
be against the document that con-
tains that doubt. Our signature
when placed upon a document will
mean we shall at any cost be true
to that signature; hence at any
cost that document must protect
America for America first and for
the worlds benefit second, for any
document that changes America $
position within itself or with respect
to the world as it stands today
Weakens Americas possibility for
good within and without. Our way
for 142 years has won. That way
must continue to govern America.
.
no financial, commercial or politi-
cal consideration or strength be per-
mitted to wear us down. This is
the one business that admits of no
compromise. Whatever is right for
America must govern.
1t is our flag, the boys fought
and died for. That flag is less re-
spected today on the western hemis-
phere than ever in our history.
Chimerical dreams Of International
ism have been the cause. Universal
respect for the flag here and abroad
can only be restored by clinging to
an Independent American course.

Atlantic City Air Port

In the heart of Atlantic City. N. J... lies a large level field that Is soon to become the first lair port in the world, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Starting from this port air craft will be registered, and will receive their clear ance papers. exactly as witS ships of the sea. This feature will no doubt be most prominent in the future when regular transatlantic flight is assured. Of present importance, however are several other purposes announced by the three aerial associations behind the scheme. The field is intended as an aerial mail and police station for Atlantic City; it wilt serve as aerial garage, and 1t will be a terminal for the coming New York Atlantic City passenger service.
