BY DIR. MATTHIAS EF.xsERGER =
chairman of the German Armistice
Commission, Leader of the Centrist
Party and Former Secretary
of Sfafp1

The English and French concep-
! tions of an entente league of nations,
or of 81 league under the direction OF
a particular group of nations, has met
opposition also among the neutrals.
The neutrals are vitality Interested N
seeing a ltazre of nations forced IN
which each member actively partici-
pates in an equal manner, and under
equal conditions.
For the neutrals though they have
| not suffered loss of blood and treasure
| in the same degree as the belliCerents,
are nevertheless subject to the effects
| of the world war and this will al
ways be so in future wars.
! Dutch. Scandinavian and Spanish
organs energetically oppose one
sided eague.
Neither the German government
nor the Overwhelming majority or
| the German people desire predomin-
ance in the world.
| History teaches that all attempts
to secure peace through the erection
OF world empires have collapsed and
/ have created only new seas of blood.
Let us learned from history.
| An English world empire or n
| league of nations under English lead
ership. which two things are equal,
would be netguarantee Of peace just
UTGuCIflIHanCe
| perialism could not save the peoples
! from wars of liberation.
! The way the attempt permanently
to secure the peace of the world has
| been made in the past was in most
cases the way of force. through the
establishment of a universal state.
which would subject all peoples TO its
| predominance and force peace upon
them.
| In the ancient days there were the
! great empires and II was in the
! Roman state that for the first time
he idea ''by way of world empire to
i world peace" was translated into
actually For nearly four centuries,
from the battle of Actium to the be-
| ginning of the emigration of the
peoples. mankind lived through a
period OF almost undisturbed peace.
| From the waters of Babylon to the
/ columns of Hercules. from the hills
| of Scotland to the prairies of North
America there prevailed during that
period the "paromana' maintained by
| the arms of the victorious Roman
! legions.
| The whole civiliza ton of that age
stood under universal institutions and
! laws. One language. one Kind OF
coin. one system of economic inter
| course had been introduced through
| out the empire, and in that empire
achievements were attained. which
humanity has not been able TO accom-
plish since.
The memory OF the Roman uni
versal state, which gave mankind the
longest period of peace. has since re-
manned alive in the history Of Eu-
rope. again and again efforts were
| made to establish world peace in the
way and with the methods of ancient
| Rome. IT is the Roman imperialistic
though of world empire and world
| peace that formed the basis of the
4 policies OF the eInperor's in the mid
| die ages.

! Marsilius. of padua, Home Bonnor,
! and IefbnitZ saw the security of world
peace in the world domination by en-
| emperor.

RAILROADS HELP
NEW COAL RECORD

Washington. Jan. 1.-The National
Coal association acknowledged that it's
members had been able to meet the
demands OF the country for fuel, be-
cause OF the change in railroad con-
ditions under government operation
from the earlier times when the rail-
roads operated their own lines and
their officials were heavily interested
in the coal companies along their
rights of way.
Government investigation has shown
that in these earlier times the rail-
road-owned mines, received prefer
ence In cars which sometimes was SO
great as TO wreck their com petitorH
or at least make it impossible for
the INTO operate regularly.
But the bituminous mines OF the
country made record production In
! 1918. The wartime demand for
coal, the greatest in the country's his
tory. has been met in full" says the
National Coal association statement
The total production is placed al
1900 900 tons, an increase of about
! 100000 tons over 1917, itself a
record.
Increased efficiency of manage
ment. the patriotic desire of operators
and employees to support the govern
ment in prosecuting the war to the
! Tufrx irnurn eff their abilities, and a bet
ter car supply and movement under
, the operation of the United States
railroad administration. are chiefly re-
sponsible for the increase in produc-
ton"

GERMANY SEEKS TO
btclOUD THE ISSUE

London. Jan. 2--Until Germ n y
establishes a stable government, it viii
be useless for her people to plead for
food or to complain of the harsh terms
Of the armistice, the vossiche Zeitung
declares saYa:-"All that sort oil
thing is only calculated to confuse the
real issues and TO miss the only way
that leads out Of disaster.
TT is IA matter that concerns all the
allies, not France alone. And the al
tics know very weif-what- they ought
to know. They have decided to help
German when their conditions are full
filled Their demand is the restoration
of order in Germany.
The allies demand visible guaran-
tees that Germany shall not fall out OF
one despctsm into another. They de-
mand that the Internal condition OF
Germany shall be placed In q position
which shall forbid anarchy"
The fulhllment OF these demands
does not depend upon ethe number OF
conflicting officials and least of all
on the armistice commission. IT IL the
affair of united and determined gov
eminent"
The remedy. according to the vos-
sische Zeitung. Is to hurry forward the
assembly of the national convention.
There is still, time" concludes the
newspapers for the German people to
win back all they have loss In the war
and what they cannot do without
unity, the respect Of the world and
their daily, bread--but the last moment
has come and energetic action is de-
manded,"

as were Commissioners McHugh and

with tis ciericai~fs oe, one male as

Some of the other states suffered
serious delays and Inconvenience by
reason Of the hardness Of their com
missions. The Virginia appointees.
who made deligent studies of the
work IN other mmonwealths. were
warned against this error and they
profited by the warnings. Instead of
a mass Of correspondence accumu-

hamrering all activities, everything
was as clear last night as II was yes
terday morning every letter answer

It is hardly to he expected that

and his associates pledge themselves
TO tolerate no needless delay. and they
are prepared to add to their forces
as demands increase so they may at
all times keep up with the work in

The commissions Offices are very
plainly furnished, but they have on

|HOG CHOLERA I|!OSSES
STEADILY DECREASING
Secretary Houston Tells Advantages
OF State cooperation I'm ERADICATE
ing Destructive Animal Disease.

Washington. d. c., Jan. 2.-llosses
from hog cholera declined greatly in
the four years, 1914 TO 1917, and a
further reduction Is expected for 1918
says a letter from the secretary of
agriculture to Addison r. Smith, a
member of the house Of representa-
tives.
The secretary calls attention to the
necessity for state cooperation In
the federal governments campaign
against this destructive animal dis
ease.
The losses for 1914 totaled 6,3o4,-
800 animals. which, valued at $10.4
head, made monetary loss of s67.-
S97,461: for 1917, 2,952.144 animals
valued at st1,T3 a head monetary
loss of s32,475.190. During the four
years the number of animals taken
hysathe disease was 1S,S35.901. rep
resenting a value OF slSS.44S SAB.
Estimates obtained from state au-
I thorities during November. and re-
ports from our inspectors in charge
of hog cholera control work" says
the secretary Sindicate that there
will be a further reduction Of losses
from the disease during the present
year G91S1 except in New York.
Pennsylvania, and Washington, where
no CO operative work is being con-
uuCtEu DG" TIE tIlleIt. ne
monetary loss however, will still be
great owing to the increased value
of this class of farm animals over that
of previous years
"A recent article. in which condi-
tons in Iowa are discussed, indicates
that the mum Der Of hogs lost in that
state from cholera in 1914 was ap-
proximateIy 5000, 600. while the
i losses for 1917 amounted to less than
zoo 900. Conditions in Iowa, how
ever, have been more favorable to
the efforts of the cooperative forces
engaged in hog cholera control work
in that state during the last two years
thar previously.
THE reduction of losses has been
less in certain other states due large
ly to circumstances which have handi-
capped our efforts in controlling the
disease. We can not hope to be so
successful in states where hogs have
access to open ranges as in locali-
ties where herds are restricted to the
premises of the owner and kept away
from sources of contamination"
