Paris, March 11.--There's no dispo-
sition on the British side to minimize
the seriousness the position arising
upon the unfortunate termination of
tualing of Germany. The situation is
being discussed this afternoon by the
supreme economic council and it is
suggested a way out may be found by
sending message to Germany con-
veying the willingness of the allies to
supply sufficienoy of food If the
German mercantile fleet is delivered
up. a
As the Germans broke off negotia-
tions the allies cannot send back a
delegation to Spa, as it has been their
principle throughout that they cam
not discuss conditions with Germany,
but by sending some form of intima-
ton to the German government in
the above sense it is hoped to get
round the rather delicate situation.
France Is Blamed.
The attitude of the French press
indicates approval of the action of the
French delegates in refusing to agree
to supply more than fourteen days
food, though the view is taken in
other quarters that this was in effect
a breach of the undertaking in the
supplementary armstice that Ger
many would be fed until the harvest
in return for the surrender of her
mercantile fleet.
1t is considered very unfortunate
that the allies should have been
placed in the position in which they
now find themselves as a result of
the failure of this negotiation, which
might have been avoided if France
had accepted their views.
Germans are likely to claim diplo-
matte victory, despite the fact that
their right to discuss the conditions
is not admitted Early today the
council of ten dealt with the report
of the commission on Belgium's
claims, which recommended the revi-
sion of the three identic neutrality
treaties of 1889 between Belgium and
Holland and between Holland and the
five guaranteeing powers and between
Belgium and the powers.
Only Britain and France Left.
Three of the guaranteeing powers
Russia, Austria and Prussia-have dis
appeared, so that only Great Britain
and France remain. These treaties
were actuated by friendship for Hol-
land and against Belgium. so their re-
vision is fully justified. Holland now
has been informed tht she will be
has been informed that she will be
sires to sustain the treaties.
President Wilson's pledge that BEL
GUM shall be restored without any
attempt to limit her sovereignty un-
derlies the action Of the conference in
this matter.
AS far as the fate of the German
fleet is concerned it does not concern
Germany and need not therefore be
included in the preliminary terms Of
peace. There Is said to be no urgency
about deciding the question.

AMERICANS FAVORED
MIIDER PEACE TERMS

Paris, March 11.--With the Amer
ican members of the supreme coun-
Gil, it is understood, permitted the
military experts to exercise their
judgment regarding 100000 men as
the proper size and character of the
future German army. In order to
have basis of discussion, the Amer
leans, it is reported, suggested an
army of 100000 men, but only be-
cause that was the number mem
toned in the first armistice proposal.
The decision of the council to limit
Germany to volunteer twelve-year
army is regarded by the Americans as
likely to lead to consideration by the
league of nations when it takes up
the subject of the limitation of arma-
ments of the policy of a general pro-
hibtiou Of conscript armies in all ma
tions This is on the theory that the
great expense of regular long-term
armies will be such as to automati-
cally keep down militarism.

BIG POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised GOO
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neighborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben PawsOn of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put a little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat O
rather unenviable place on the map.
But it isn't half as bad as it is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben PawsOn likes it..
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some.
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole,
lot for $685.. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this In.
the nelghborhOod.
If one might speak of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create a de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license it will not be out of place to-
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having a good deal of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $4,000 mark on the Calgary market
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger
tainly not But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers,
in Western Canada are doing today.

Of the best breeds are purchased. And

found it easy to tell him of her diff
culties. He extracted encouragement
or indirect compliment out of all of
them.
When they arrived at her apartment
house she said, "Sorry can't ask you
up, but have no reception room, and
I'm tired out"
"You have wasted enough of your
time on me-" he said. "I'I see you to
the elevator"
AS Daphne stepped into the hallway
she found Clay Wimburn there, wait
ing grimly. He sprang to his feet with
gasp of relief. He caught sight of
Duane and his joy died instantly.
Wimburn loved Daphne and wanted
her for his own. He had counted her
his own, and still had neither refunded
the engagement ring nor paid for it.
Daphne was more pleased with VIM
burns misery than with Duane's fe-
licity.

asked.
He murmured, "Can we be alone for
a little talk?"
"Tm afraid not. The Chivvlses, you

GAIL right" she said as she led the
way out into the street. ''I'm pretty
tired, though. I walked home from
the theater."

weren't too tired for that"
Daphne thought of the motor ride
and the supper she had declined. She
said, "Are you dragging me out here

| that man Duane"
Am 1 to have no friends at all?"
'You can have all you want, pro-

Clay, for your own information. Every

| afraid Of meets me he does his best
to help me get my chance and he tells
me only pleasant things. Every time
you've come to see me lately you've
been either sick cat or a roaring
tiger"
She was planning to urge him to
help her and make their meetings
roster. But, lover-like, he took UNI
bragg and pain and despair from her
advice, and since they were again at
the vestibule he sighed, Good night,
Mrs. Duane" and flung out into the
dark.
Daphne sighed, and the poor eleva-
tor man who saw so much of this sort
of thing sighed with her and for her.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that 50 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plaip--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Good night"
He walked off and she was left
alone. She had the stage to herself.
She stood in the big void and felt
alien-forever alien. She shook her
| head. This place was not for her.
| She had been tried In the balance and
found wanting. She wondered if there
were anywhere a balance that she
could bring down.
She dreaded the forlorn journey
home to her dreary room. AS she
| stepped out of the door someone
moved forward with uplifted hat. 1t
was Tom Duane. He looked very
| spick and span. His smile illumined
| the dull street and his hand clasped
| hers with saving strength. 1t lifted
her from the depths like rope let
down from the sky.
Daphne would have been more con-
tent If Duane had been Clay Wimburn.
1t was Clay's duty to be there at such
a time, Of all times.
OF course he did not know that this
night was to be crucial for her, but
he should have known. Mr.. Duane
knew. 1t never occurred to Daphne
that Reben had warned Duane of the
debut of his protegee and had invited
HMM fact, had dared him-to watch
the test of her abilities.
All she knew was that Duane was
proffering homage and smiles and the
prefaces Of courtship. Daphne might
have failed to gain the hearts Of her
audience, for all her toll, but here was
heart that was hers without effort.
Perhaps Duane was her career. He
was at least an audience that she could
sway. And she was miserably in need
of some one that would pay her the
tribute of submission.
So now when he said, "Won't you
let me take you home in my car" she
could hardly snub heaven-sent mes
senger.
She said, "Thank you-you're very
kind-but-" Oh, all rightr And
she bounded in.
When Duane said: "You must be
hungry after all that hard work.
Aren't your she said, Eyes, guess I

When he said, "Where shall we eatr
she answered, Anywhere"
"Claremont?" he suggested.
This startled her, gave her pause.
Yet there was something piquant about
the proposal.

CHAPTER XII,

All this while Daphne was kept in
readiness to take Miss Kemble's part
in case the illness of her child should
result in death and in the further case
that she should be unable to finish her
performances. With the theatrical
season in such bad estate and most Of
Reben's companies and theaters losing
money heavily, Sheila Kemble was his
one certain dependence. He called
her his breadwinner.
Miss Kemble's baby passed the cri-
sis and recovered. And then the
mother, worn out with the double
strain, caught little chill that became
binding, choking cold. She went
through the Saturday matinee in a
whisper, but the night performance
was beyond her.
And now at last Daphne's chance ar
rived. The Saturday night house was
enormous in spite Of the heat. There
were enough people there to make
fourteen hundred dollars-twenty-fiv
hundred for the day.
Daphne, trudging to the theater for
her usual stupid rebuff, walked into
this crisis Of her life.
Reben himself knocked at her dress
ing room door where Miss Winsor was
helping her with her makeup. He
implored her to be calm, and he was so
tremulOuS that he suffered. He told
her that if she made good he would let
her play the part till Miss Kemble
got well. He would pay her hand
some bonus. He would put her out
at the head Of number two company
next season.
Patterson came at last and ordered
him off the stage. Reben obeyed him.
Then Patterson talked to her. He told
her that there was no reason to fear
the house. A Saturday night audience
was always easy. 1t wanted its mon
ey's worth! 1t would help to get it.
81 see," said Daphne. I'm not
afraid of the audience"
'Then what on earth are you afraid
Off"
I'm afraid Of mel"
Patterson laughed scornfully. ooh,
you! You're going to score a knock
out. You're going to make big hit p
Eyes," said Daphne, $50 you've al
ways told me-"
| The curtain rose. Miss Winsor and
the young man skipped onto their
job; the butler stalked; Eldon entered
and made his exit. Mrs. Vining spread
her skirts and sailed on, then Eldon
went back. Finally Daphne's cue
came.
She was startled little as Batter.
son nudged her forward. She went to
the door and opened 1t on her new
career to make her public debut with

She saw before her the drawing room
in weird light. Beyond it was q
fiercely radiant fog and beyond that
an agglomeration of faces-the mass
of tomato cans that she was not going
to be afraid of.
And she was not afraid. She was
curious to study them. She was eager
to remember her lines. And she re
membered them. Then cues came more
or less far apart and each evoked from
her mind the appropriate answer. She
made never a slip, and yet she began
to realize that Mr.. Eldon seemed un
happy.
At length she realized that the audi

China EXPORTING Flour.

Before the war China imported large
quantities of wheat flour, but in this,
as in many other respects, China has
been thrown upon its own resources
through the war, and is now develop
ing an export trade in this commodity.
In 1917 China exported 100000 barrels
of flour, half of which went to Russia.
