Mr.. H. d. Moore prominent

ing article, which is taken from THE
Business Philosopher" and which we
reprint because of its sound sense
and pertinence to present conditions;
When | was BOY on the farm in
Michigan, father lsed to int me stay
out of school few week. each spring
to run the maple sugar bush
We boiled the sap in big iron pan
When the fire reached a certain tenn
perature, the sap would boil over,
thus destroying itself and putting the
fire out at the same time, unless
either lessened the fire beneath the
pan or put some grease in the boiling
sap.
No matter how furiously the sap
was boiling or how rapidly it was ris-
ing to the top of the pan, good, big
piece of fat salt pork would quiet the
turbulent sap.
1t was real fun to see that sap start
for the the top of the pan with rush,
as if it were conscious thing fully ex-
pecting to destroy itself and to destroy
the fire which was enabling it to be
changed from sap to sugar, thereby be-
coming servant to the world and of
real value, and then to see it change
its mind and settle down to business
without having either destroyed itself
or the fire as soon as gave it a piece
of fat salt pork.
Sometimes one little piece of fat
pork would do the business, while at
other times, it required more pork.
never knew enough pork to fail to ac-
complish the desired result no matter
how hot the fire was beneath the pan.

London. Jan. 20.-The German arm
istice has been extended one month
by the commissioners, who have con-
cluded their session at Treves.
The clauses offered by the allies
concerning agricultural Implements,
Russian prisoners of war, naval con-
ditions and the restitution of material
stolen by the Germans from invaded
countries, were signed by the enemy
delegates.
Rudolf Havenstein, president of the
Imperial Bank of Germany, (the
Reichsbank), has been ordered to Spa
by Marshal Foch, according to dis
patch from Berlin, to attend confer
ence concerning the entente financial
demands on Germany.
Paris, Jan. 1T.-MarshaI Foch, the
allied commander in chief, arrived in
Treves for the meeting with the Ger
man armistice delegates for discussion
of the extension of the armistice.
London, Jan. 17.-The Central News
declares that as a result of the allies
discussions in Paris the whole as
pect of demobilization has undergone
a sudden and vital change, this being
shown in the drastic conditions de-
manded of Germany for a renewal of
the armistice.
ION authority of an unimpeachable
character" says the Central News, 'it
can be stated that a situation exists
in Europe under which war may break
out again at any moment. The allied
war council has arrived at a decision
which means that the British people
have mistaken the appearance of peace
for reality. This decision means that
the new British ministry must revise
the whole scheme of army demobiliza-
ton.
/ The new armistice terms to be pre-
sented to Germany by Marshal Foch
are unofficially stated to include the
following:
/. Retribution upon the Germans fol
the murder and i'll treatment of allied
prisoners.
2. The machinery and goods stoler
by Germany from France and Belgium
to be at once given up.
3. German gold, amounting to more
than $500000,000, to be moved from
Berlin to Frankfort.
4. Germany to give over her ship
ping to carry food supplies to coun
tries in Europe in need of them.
5. Any U-boats on the stocks to bt
handed to the allies for disposal, or tt
be destroyed, and no more submarine!

CALLS YANKS SUPERB
FocH SAYS HE TOLD PERsHING
TO "GO TO IT."
And About Every One viii Agree
That the American General
Obeyed Orders.

Treves, Jan. 1S.-It is the conviction
of Marshal Foch that the Rhine must
be made the barrier between Germany
and France. He expressed this clearly
today when he received American
newspaper correspondents. The mar
shal is here in connection with the
meeting concerning the extension of
the German armistice.
Marshal Foch pointed out the diff
culties that had been overcome and
said that peace must be commensurate
with the price of victory. Germany
now was beaten, he added, but with
her resources, especially in men, recup-
GRAFTON in a comparatively short time
was quite possible. 1t was now the
study of the allies to prevent further
aggressions.
Marshal Foch praised the work of
the American troops and said that Cen
eral Pershing had asked that the
American forces be concentrated for an
attack on one sector. The allied gen.
eralissimo admitted that the Argonne-
Meuse front, where the Americans be-
gan their offensive on September &c.
was ''sector hard to tackle" The
marshal said he had told General Per-
shing:
"Your men have the DEVILS own
punch. Go to it,"
The American attack succeeded, the
marshal continued, "and here we are
on the Rhine"
The armistice was not concluded too
soon and the allies got all they asked
for from Germany without continuing
the fighting.
The allies, the marshal said, were
prepared for another offensive stroke
which would have forced the Germans
to give up. This was to have been
made in Lorraine on November IA
with six American and 20 French divi.
SionS.
"This is, for me-" Marshal Foch be
gan. "a happy opportunity to tell you
all the good things l think of fhe
American army and of the part II
played on our side. Your soldiers were
superb. They came to us young. en-
thusiastic. and carried forward by G
vigorous idealism and they marched tc
battle with admirable gallantry. Yes
they were superb. There is no Other
