- Is Germany Blufing?

1t is intimated in dispatches that
treaty embodying territorial cessionS
lately voiced in Germany have grown
to such "a volume as to permit no doubt
that. they have passed beyond the
stage of bluff and are genuine and
will be carried into effect In other
words. that Germany will refuse to
sign Il treaty which takes away any
of the German area. DR.. Schiller, min
lister of finance in the German minis
try, addressing crowd in front of
the chaneellors palace Sunday, de-
clafed, according to Berlin dispatch:
81 viii take most solemn oath that
tine government will not surrender to
the enemy one inch of German terri
tory either vest or east.
That is a very large order. DR..
Schiller. if he is not bluffing, pledges
the government at Berlin to a stand
pat policy that will lead to renewal Of
the war in circumstances making GER
tain the complete conquest of Germany
and far more severe terms Of peace
than those now possible. For it is as
sured that the peace terms will include
the cession CT Alsace and Lorraine to
France and Posnania to Poland. No
-. .on.ois-oh1o Ard
Schleswig may go to Denmark, from
which it was wrongfully wrested in
1866. And certain areas in western
Germany, up to the Rhine, may have
to be ceded to France in part COM
pensation for the war costs and wreck
age.
IT Germany refuses to sign the war
will be renewed That fact may not
be understood by the crowds now
cheering speakers who assert that mot
one inch of German territory" will be
surrendered. 1t is probable that ad
vantage is being taken in Germany of
the. failure of the allied powers quick
ly to come to an agreement upon the
peace terms at Paris. Shrewd German
takers and writer's are doubtless point
ing to the delay as indicative of
schfsms between the members of the
entente and their associates in the war.
aIet us declare ourselves as implaeably
opposed to any cessions and the enc
my will never unite to fight US again" !"
is probably the slogan of the reviving
n.ilitarim Of Germany.
There should be a prompt answer
to this. The allied powers, for the
sake of peace, should speedily frame
the terms of the proposed treaty. If
they have to renew the fight they
should hasten the decision, while they
are stronger in the field than the en-
envy, before bolshevism has crept
farther westward and weakened their
allies in central Europe. Delay is to
Germany's advantage. Action is the
best answer to the speeches of the
Schiffers who are seeking to arouse the
German fighting spirit.

Free Trade and Protection.

Sir Auckland Geddes, British min
lister for national service and recon-
struction, has been discussing the gov
ernment's policy regarding importa-
tions. The cable brings this story:
"He said that all importations of
manufactured and mi-manufactured
commodities which are permitted to en-
ter Great Britain will be controlled
by system Of special licenses until
September l, when the question VIII
be reviewed. The newspapers de-
nounce this proposal as an attempt
to introduce protection without any
mandate from the voters, insist that
great majority of the voters are op-
posed to a protective system and de-
clare that England is still free trade
country at heart. They say that Great
Britain gained her commercial and
financial supremacy through free trade
and can hold it only by tree trade"
When England became free trade
country, conditions were very differ
ent from what they now are. The
economic policy of that time was fash
ioned to meet the existing require
ments. The economic policy of this
time has been fashioned to meet re-
quirements produced BY the war. When
those requirements pass, England, in
all probability, Will return to a free
trade basis. In normal times free
trade answers her best interests.
America, on the other hand, has al
ways been protection, country. We
have always thrived most-in fact, have
thrived only-under protective tariff.
We have attained great prosperity and
manufacturing and commercial impor-
tance under an intelligent application
of the policy of protection. Now and
then, in a national contest, an anti
protection pronouncement has been
made at the polls, but was soon re-
gretted. No tariff law in and for
this country, which has repudiated the
protective principle, has ever worked
to the satisfaction Of either the pro-
ducing or the consuming classes. It
was soon followed by frank return
to protection.
The present Congress has a man
date to this very effect. In obedience
to last November's election result, the
Underwood tariff Law is to give place
to a Law drawn ON straight protection
lines. Revenue, and . large amount
of it, will be, must be, borne in mind,
but SO also will be, must be, the pol
icy of heartening business by afford
ing protection to all deserving Ameri-
can industries and maintaining Amer.
lean wage scales at figures guarantee
ing American standards Of comfortable
living.
England understands trade, and has
greatly profted by her understand
ing. She viii not continue her pres.
ent protection arrangements day
longer than her interests demand. She
will present herself again as . free
trade nation as soon as it is safe, and
we shah have to meet her in her for
mer form and guise as competitor
both in our own markets and in the
markets Of the world.

Tree Memorials.

A ceremony took place yesterday in
the grounds of the Department of Agri-
culture which should have its counter
part all over the country. An oak
tree was planted by the Secretary of
Agriculture and the chief of the for
eStry service in commemoration OF
the men of that department who fell
in the service of the United States in
the war. 1t was particularly appro-
pirate that a tree should be chosen as
memorial to these men, many OF
whom were of the forest service, and
for whom thus the tree itself stands
as definite and particular symbol.
But apart from that connection, tree
planting for memorial purposes com
mends itself. A tree, if properly tend
ed and protected, will live for many
years. 1t will even Outlast some man
made monuments. What can be more
inspiring than the thought that a cen
turv hence that tree planted yester-
day will be noted by the American peo-
pie visiting this city, bearing its ap-
propriate tablet! If in every city in
this country such tree were planted
now, generations to come, numbering
millions upon millions, would note, OBJ
serve and appreciate the sentiment.
And meanwhile the tree itself will be
thing of beauty, and afford shade
and comfort. Let there be more tree
planting in the name of Americas
heroes!

BOIL WEEVIL IS
MAKING HEAVY TOLL
DOING GREAT DESTRUCTION TO
COTTON CROP. SOME STALKS
WITHOUT ANY FRUIT.

The heaviest infestation of cotton
boil weevils is now general through
out this section, and the weather still
favors further propagation. Reports
are coming from everywhere of the
prevalence of the pest in great num-
bers, and the consequent decrease
the probability of cotton crop OF
any size.
Saturday Mr.. D. A. Smith, who IS
farming on the Elladale estate, eX-
hibited at Smith & Lees warehouse
a stalk Of cotton waist high that con-
tanned only one boil. This was a fair
sample, he said, of several acres from
which he does not expect to gather
much more than a basketful of cot
ton. Other sections of his farm IS
not so badly infested.
A stalk of cotton from Mr.. II. A.
Petty's farm which contained 20 to
80 bolls from half grown to near
maturing showed that they had all
been attacked by weevils and were
in a state of decay.
Many farmers, because of the pro-
duction of the past two years, believ-
ed they could henceforth grow cotton
without fear of the pest, but they are
now beginning to realize that they
made a mistake in increasing their
cotton acreage this year.

HIS BODY A
THERMOMETER

Had Taken SO Much Ca!omel, Which

herbs, banks and berries. Get Dreco,

good all over the south and right
here in Savannah.
Il thought l had the worst liver in
. the world, and have taken so much
calomel that | thought it would kill
me, but no more for me. have now
taken three bottles of Dreco. 1t is
great. That is what Mr.. D. Weitz, of
40 Charlton street, Savannah, Ga,
says about it.
Dreco acts on the liver in a smooth,
gentle manner, gradually working off
the excess bile day by day; it Is not
strong nor harsh, and does not excite
the muscles as strong cathartics do:
Il tones up the digestive organs and
relieves gas on the stomach; puts
an end to constipation; increases the
appetite; gives strength to weak kid
neys; restores tired nerves and IN
duces sound sleep. Dreco is a great
blood purifier and system cleanser.
Most all good drug stores now sell
Dreco, and it is especially recon-
mended in Dawson by Lees Drug
Store.

It is q salutary thing to regret past
errors and sincerely resolve not to fall
into them again, but 1t Is a foolish and
most dangerous thing to brood over
mistakes we have made, sins we have
committed. Brooding cannot possibly
lead to healthy-minded action. Its
tendency, rather is to develop a state
Of mind that may pass owe into In
sanity. Yet many people indulge In
this dangerous luxury of brooding. Par
ticularly Is this likely to be the case
with people to whom life has not been
as kind as 1t might have been.
