Denaturcd German Diplomats.
(New York Tim eS. )

Divers names, too numerous to men, tion if they were worth mentioning, have been proposed at Berlin, in a somewhat fumbling, hesitant trial balloon" manner of German diplo- matistS, selected or said to be selected as German amb ssadors to the United States and other countries. What diff ference does it make what German diplomatist is selected? They were all brought up in the same treacherous and dishonest school. They all bear the same taint. The hideous crimes perpetrated and attempted by German ambassadors and ministers in many different countries during the war have sufficiently instructed us in Ger man diplomacy. These men practiced in war a little more f1agitiously the ordinary arts of German diplomacy.
 A German embassy is primarily a great spy system in the country to which it is accredited. As counselor of the German embassy at London the egregious von Bernstorff rehearsed his brilliant performance of The Complete Spy" in this country. There are gradations in the manner of German diplomatists, but sub
 
 Wherever they are they spy out the land; they try to control the citizens of German origin in it; they work to steal it's business secrets, to use It for German benefit, in case of need to embroil it with other countries. They are perfectly crooked in their methods, absolutely untrustw worthy. The worse they are, the better is their standing, if they are not found out.
 Till German diplomacy is denatured of it's guile and it's falsehoods-in short, till everything which charac- terizes ii has been changed or re- moved-how can anybody trust it, and what difference does it make who is the German am mbassador? There has got to be a change of heart, convic- ton of sin, contrition, repentance, re- solve to lead a new life" Till the German people show that perhaps 1t is too much to expect it of German diplomats; but a new and honest Ger man diplomacy would greatly con- tribute to international good relations in the future.

\ striking Object Lesson.
(New Haven Journal-Courier


 As an illustration of the effect of lessened production upon the cost of living caused by a labor strike, the following figures setting forth the re- suits of the Lawrence strike in the city of that name and in he neigh boring state of Massa chuSct s. are in structive. The strike lasted fourteen weeks. The loss in production was 100000 pieces r" woolcn cloth. Each of these pieces ould have been cap able of producing 16 mems suits, or 4,S00, 000 suits for this season. We have not included in this estimate the loss of wages, which is of Itself a tremendous item expressed in terms of waste Today the mills of New England are producing only 60 per cent of their normal output on ac- count of a shortage in raw material and of labor. So long as the strike method of settling differences Of opln- ion between the employer and the employed. instead of the rational method of arbitration is employd, there can be no satisfactory reduction in the high cost of living. Illustra- lions of this character ought to con- vince men that industrial war, no less than national war, is terrible in its exactions of toll; it never settles things right. s-.u

OUR FOOD IN EUROPE.

Herbert Hoover'S statement that with foodstuffs that have been sent to that country with the expectation of sale, a high prices, to various na- tions will be received with nothing but anger on this side of the water. We know where that food has been coming from and we know what we are paying for it's like, because of the removal of it from this land of ours. The fact that it is being held, presumably for high prices, by indi- viduals, who must be residents of the United States, is simply another charge against the already many times guilty proiteer. There are few other places from whence food may come, 1t must have left here, ergo, certain people, known as Am ericans are guilty. Who are they?
 We do not believe that the aver age American is unwilling to share his lot with the man on the other side. He may have half of our loaf of bread if he is really in need, through any fault other than his own. to him, it makes our half loaf cost as much as the full one, and he should prove willing and anxious to make up for our shortage as soon
 
 in Europe is fighting heartily, in strictly family circles, and feeding on US. In addition to that greedy ones on our side, have rushed across the pond with our supplies, which they cannot sell and which they are placi ing in warehouses, hoping for a profit. The American Samaritan begins to resemble a goat"
 For the benefit of some of those who are revelling in a world of ora tory in Washington we might suggest that immediate steps be taken to keep a closer check upon the goods that go out of our country, the ship ments of foodstuffs to Europe. We do not as we said before. wish to starve Europe, but we do want to see her get what she actually needs, and no more. Moreover we want to know that the stuff that we give to those across the water is going to be used where it will do the most good, and will be delivered directly to that point. Why not a Foodstuffs Commission, with power to send delegate with each shipment to see that it is properly delivered and not diverted and with power to buy else where to relieve the need, wherever it occurs? It would take too much time, you say. Not at all. It would not take any more than is being wasted even now in useless words and arguments. It's results would be much greater.

CARRANZA SPEAKS.

Bea Keepers. Association Organiz.
 ed for Drew County.

J. V. Ormond, Specialist in
 Bee Culture, of the Department of Agriculture, Cooperating with the University of Arkansas and Drew County, met with a number of bee keepers last Sat urday and discussed with them the different phases of bee cul- ture. After a very interesting discussion the bee keepers pres ent decided to organize Drew County Bee Keepers Association. and adopted the bylaws furnish. ed by Mir. Ormond. Twelve members came into this organi- zation and paid their dues which IS 50 cents each.
 The following officers were e. lected: Judge H. w. Wells, Pres. J. T. Husky, Vice. Pres. and w. K. Maxwell, Sec'y. and Treas. The next meeting will be announced later to be held at the Agricultural School, where Mir. Ormond will give some practical demonstrations in handling and caring for bees.
 Mr ormond said that this is one of the be st sections in the south for bees. He said that the people in this section were losing about one half ton of first class honey for each square mile by not having bees to take care of It. We hope that every man in. terested ln bees will join this association and make Drew conn. ty famous for its honey.
