STRETCHING TIT.

Four weeks hence, according tD C prediction of the American DeCercc Society, the Bolshcviki will rise up in all their madness and attempt to wreck the United States of Amcrlc,. The proScostication is made in q cir country yesterday Tho future is black the officers of the society be- licvc The artist who wrote the lcttc" cannot be accused of having no ina g. ovcrdonc his work.
 A sample of his statements is: "'rjic hearthstoncs of the nation are in danger. Iii organized labor once loses it's head and takes into it's system the poison that has wrecked tho ruined Russia all kinds of evil things will happen here. on the Russian plan Another lurid paragraph reads: "If % the appeal to greed, iSnor- ancc and brutal force once gets a firm hold of the restless working people of America, as it did in Russia and is now doing in Germany, then we will all go to hell tosether.''
 A little bit ovcrdrawn, we think. The unrest throughout the nation is apparent but the spirit of BolsheVism which could be scnscd imm ediately after the signing of the armisticc seems to be on the wane. The Amer ican Defence Society should not con- fuse legitimate strikes with tho thing that dragged Russia into tho dust.

THE FIFTH LOAN.

LcsS stress is being laid on tho pI- triotic duty to invest i'll the Fifth loan and more on the business side of the transaction. Banking houses which appealed to the patriotism of their customers during tho four other loans arc now emphasizing the high value of the Forthcoming bonds from a purely investment standpoint. And they do this rightly. The Fifth io;m offers inducements to the conservative man or woman who exercises great care before investing funds in sA"uri- ties. It extends a generous percentage in interest and is backed by tho rich est nation in history. More could not be asked.

Another Record in Wheat,
CproAidnncc LOurnaD

Earlier predictions Of an enormous crop Oi winter wheat arc SubStant;at- ed by the report of the department of agriculture, issued yesterday. The acreage is the largest ever planted in the United States, and nincty-nlnc and clSht-tcnths per cent. is the best showing ever made on the condition of the crop. The indicated yield of S31, 100000 bushels of winter wheat is thus nearly double the yearly aver age for the five years before the war, and is almost fifty per cent. larger than the crop of 562,00O.O0O, avCrl l,c production during the four years Of war. The season is so well adVdn ed that there would seem to be little probabilitr of material losses iu the wheat states.
 The confirmation of previous OIti- mlsUc reports is most gratifying 10 a world which has no reserve supplies of foOdstuffs \mCricar farmers nave insured EurODC'S wheat supply, And they arc entitled to u fair price for every bushcl consumed at hom2 or sent abroad. The government invited the farmers to make ;u new rccorI in wheat and apparently they have GoEc 1t and have fairly earned the reN,tld provided in the bill fixing the price of the cereal.

PRAISE FROM LLOYD GEORGE.

Of all the phases Of the War-pcacc situation treated by Premier Lloyd George of England, mono is more m tcresting to Americans than his state ment that England and the United States arc in accord on the aims of the Peace Conference and the methods for carrying out those aims.
 Referring 10 President Wilson in particular. the British Premier said that mo ono could have treated tho peculiar problems with their opecia l European susceptibilitics better than President Wilson," Therc is a lesson in this for Americans. So much po- litical discussion has been nject5d into President Wilson's labors that it would not be surprising if many American minds were muddled. Tine President has been criticized freely and som ctimc5 abusivcly. WhHIhc:' he is appreciated at homo or not, lc is recognized abroad. The spokesman of the government of the British Trn- pirc is @ busy man, too busy to waste speech in complim cnts unless they como from tho heart and are built on his own personal observation.

TJTCKY GOVERNOR HARDING.

Governor Harding of Iowa may
 hanll his lucky stars that he hGs not been impeached for misfeasance in of- |icc. A man was convicted of sei'i- ous offense against society last fall md a pardon was granted almost inn
 oncdiately by the Governor. Ugly Irumors were connected with his ac- Hon and money is said 10 have played
 part in the stories.
 As a consequence of the public de- mand for an investigation, 8 ma ajority report fayoring the impeachment of \ Inc Governor was filed with the state House of Representatives FortGn:ttc- y for the executive, he has friends in he house who filed a minority rep: :rt 'avoring a censure and this report has been adopted.

 sent but circumstantial ey.dcnca

SOLDIERS AND PROHIBITION.

Commenting on the vote of New enactment of prohibition legislation, the New York World secs opportunity for parallel in the United States where no one was allowed to rcg!HtcI his choice. By d vote of the civilians, New Zealand went dry by 12,00O ma = jority but the flood of soldiers bal lots turned the tide. Rcmarllin:; on the situation in the United States, the World says:
 '' Prohibition in tho United States : was made constitutional when more than 4,OOO,O00 mon were in service by land and sca at home and abroad. In our case nobody was consulted except Congress- mon and legislators under tic bullying influence of the wcllf- nanccd Anti-Saloon lobby. 'rhc civilian no less than the SOldlcr and sailor was ignored, and a rev olutionary proposition became q, part of the organic law with nothing moro than a prctcnsc Of popular assent.
 In character, in principle, in ideas of liberty and in thco"ics of government New ZcalaudH fighting men do not differ much from those of the United States. The disparity to be noted is in thc way laws affecting human rights arc enacted in the two countries.
