IS .BATTBE DEATHS LEAD

Washington, Feb. 22.-In past
wars disease killed more men than
on the battlefield, but the opposite
is true in the present war, accord
ing to Gen. March, chief Of staff
Of the American army.
The battle death rate for the en-
tire American army in this war
was 20 per thousand per year. In
the overseas forces it was 81 per
thousand per year.
1t is shown that in the Mexican
war the battle death rate was Is
per thousand, and the disease
death rate 10 per thousand; civil
war, battle, 80; disease, 65; Spa
nish war, battle, s.; disease, 26.
The development of medical
science and surgery is responsible
for decreased deaths by disease.

Allies Huge Task
u = ID to Feed Germany.

Co5lenz, March 5.-Three and a
half million tons Of grain, 1,000,-
600 tons i6f meat, 100000 tons
of fats-that Is the amount Of food
which Germany must have from
abroad this year, ana Which She
hopes to get from ! America most
largely. according to ESTIMATES
which have come to the notice iof
the American Army Of Occupation,
Experts making estimates figure
that this supply will cost 5000
100000 marks. AT the tpresent
value of the mark, aboAt liz
cents, this would be something less
than $600,000,000; but the mark
is depreciating all the time.
A semi-offcial German review
of the food situation says:
1.-THE deficit in grain for 1919
is 100000 tons. The crop for
1919 could never have been suffi-
cient, but since Posen, which cup
Iplies one-tenth Of the grain produ-
ced in Germany, is added to Po-
land, the deficit becomes serious.
At the present moment there are
considerable supplies in Govern
Iment control centres, but all will
be exhausted by the end OF May.
''The general production of
foodstuffs is considerable, but
these products must compensate
! for the lack Of potatoes in the
next few months. Ten thousand
tons of nuts have been distributed
since the last harvest, and an addi-
tional 10000 tons are to be distri-
buted. Cattle delivery has been
good, but the remaining numbers

France Wants us United on League

Paris, March 5.-Le Petit Pa
risien, the widest read of French
Newspapers, with a circulation
approaching 100000 daily, says
today: d
"The world has put its hope
and faith in a Society of Nations.
President Wilson, during his stay
in America, has dissipated the
objections that certain OF his po-
litical opponents have formulat-
ed against this great idea"
1t is true, the sentences quoted
are merely the introduction to an
article suggesting that the future
League should assume collective
responsibility for some of the ma
ior expenses of the war, but, ne
yertheless, they express the gen
eral view that, as far as America
is concerned, approval of the pro-
ject can be taken for granted.
The reason for this is very large
~ the censorship which at pres
el1t is exceedingly stringent, es-
pecially as regards delicate
points that may be likely to cause
friction among the allied or as
Sociated powers.
Thus, L1nfOrmatiOn was sus-
pended for eight days from last

ed in The London Times. The
result is that the only newspaper
in France which comments today
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-03-20

with some knowledge based upon
the situation in America, is the
Echo de Paris. e}Iven then there
are gaps, suppressed by the cen
sor'', in a telegram dated March
3, from it's American correspond
ent. The general tenor of this
dispatch is that the conflict be.
tween President Wilson and the
Senate is bitter, and that, con
sc quently, it is probable that the
President will propose some mo-
difcations of the original sche-
Inc.
The editorial writer of the
Echo de Paris is PertinaX, who
alone in the French press has
throughout the Peace Conferen-
ce had a strong anti-WilsOn bias,
His argument can therefore,
hardly be taken as fairly repre-
sentative of French opinion. AT
the same time, much in what he
says is shared by influential cir
cles over here. pertinaX bases his
reasoning on a telegram of l.
Echo's American correspondent.
The President, he says, has for
the moment defeated his oppo-
nents and now returns to Europe
determined to force through his
League of Nations project as
soon as possible, so as to be able
to confront them with a fait ac-
compli. Nevertheless, he must
take into account Senator LODI
ge's opposition, which, in Perti-
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-03-20

naX's opinion, is based on the
idea that although America en-
tered the European conflict to
impose peace on Germany, she
was not necessarily prepared to
abandon her traditional isolation
for the sake of establishing a new
and more or less visionary order
of things in the world.
In other words, says Pertinax,
the President would be we'll ad-
vised to follow the line that the
French have emphasized from the
beginning, namely, to settle the
terms with Germany first and ar
range the details Of the League Of
Nations status, and the consti-
tuition afterward.
1t is noteworthy, as showing
the evolution of French opinion
i'll the past month, that Pertinax
himself, who formerly was one
of the bitterest opponents Of the
League Of Nations project, now
takes it for granted and goes no
further than-t to suggest that the
effect of the opposition in Anne
rica may perfect and modify some
points. He concludes:
owe are anxious to hope that
there is no real incompatibility
of ideas between President VIII
son and his opponents. 1t is Of
great Importance to us that there
be full 'uiianimity on the part of

must be used for agricultural pur-
poses. Imported, nncat; if permi-
ssi6n to import cam be obtained,
cfn be used only as a supplement
for other ratlons. The fat problem
is very seriois. The supply has
gone back SO per cent. from the
supply Of 1917. Milk is DANCE
rously scarce, the situation being
WORT in the Rhinelands ands West
phalia. For the supply of pota-
toes, the loss Of Posen is serious.
Eleven billion seven hundred mil
lion pounds Of potatoes are needed
for the cities. Seven billion pounds
are assigned and 2,200,000,000
pounds ase still to be added, leav-
ing a deficit of 2,00,000,000 pounds
in the supply for ten weeks. Our
potatoes will be completely used
up by the middle Of May.
1.-The planted vegetable area
has been increased 113 per cent.
but because of unsatisfactory
transportation conditions much is
spoiled. Dried and salt vegeta-
bles must replace a large part OF
the rations. The sugar supply is
very Inadequate, likewise the fish
sapply. Fertilizer cannot be OBJ
tained, as the factories lack coal
and lime.
While no settlement has been
made of the financial arrangements
by which Germany is to pay for
food from America, negotiations
being still in progress, there seems
to be a growing idea that payments
is to be made by the sale of for
eign securities held by Germany.

Why are these things true of the Olds-
mobile Economy Truck? Because everv
unit-motor, frame, axles, tires, in fact
every part from radiator to tail light-has
proven worth, is built to uphold the reputa-
ton for leadership that the name Oldsmo
bile has enjoyed for Fl years. Because the
truck as whole is the most desirable that
sound engineering and ultra thorough
factory methods can produce.
The adaptability and range of usefulness
of the Oldsmobile Economy Truck makes it
the logical truck in wide variety of fields.
Those who have considered greater carry
ing capacity necessary in their work will
find this feature far more than offset by the
moderate first cost, speed, low operating
cost and extremely low maintenance cost
of this Oldsmobile.

\ DO SHOPPING EARLY

Dollar day In Keokuk was sue
cess. Merchants who were back OF
the sale, and whose windows and
shelves held lot of good bargains
for the trade said 80 today after
waiting on eager customers since
early this morning. The local mer-
chant had a good line of bargains,
the shoppers themselves said so, and
the crowd on the street from early
this morning indicated that fact.
It would be hard to say Just what
lines attracted the most people.
People were buying everywhere along
the streets. One Of the stores which
had a bargain sale in soap, along
with lot OF other things, was pack
led early today with people anxious

There were q number of out Of

Keokuk people likewise have not tor

gets all the bargains, and they were
down town considerably ahead Of the
usual shopping hour.
The weather was ideal and people
seemed to welcome the chance to
spread their dollars over a large
territory when it comes to prices. In
these days of the H. c. of l., the
purchase value Of dollar when 1t
is made as elastic as 1t was for this
sale is bound to attract lot Of
people.
There were discounts on suits, and
electrical appliances where the In
creased costs could not warrant sell
ing these articles for dollar. There
were real bargains in ties, socks,
shirts, straw hats. and all kinds or
millinery and hose. In fact there
were bargains In just about every
thing anyone could think of wanting
sales prices In. And there was moth
ing slow about the way the people
picked up these bargains. either. one
merchant who had been busy all
morning said: "They sure liked it,
