TIE NOTE TO GERMANY.

Regardless of what Germany may think of tho San Reno conference and it's results. it cannot get away from the fact that as tho result os the conmuni- cation directed to it, it is given to un-3 derstand in no uncertain manner that >the provisions of the Versailles treaty were placed there with the idea that they must be carried outs
 That is the result of the recent action of France in moving it's troops into Ger man cities following the despatch of Ger man troops into the neutral zone against tho treaty provisions, and also because Germany has not complied with mum Der of the requirements.
 However much Germany may have wished that its action had brought about split between Great Britain and France. or among tho allies, it must be aware now that 1t has only made 1t clearer to the allies that there must be a thorough understanding and a renewal of the decision to stand firmly together. The effect of divided action. or action taken by the different allied countries for the same end during the war, clearly showed the need of a united command It was similarly emphasized in connec. tion with the enforcement of the treaty provisions, and conditions leading up t the San Remo conference prompted ths very action that was taken at that gath ering.
 This declaration comes at time whe1 Germany is asking for more favors. wants to protect itself by increasing it. army to double the number provided il the treaty. But Germany comes to tn, allies with this request at time whel
 it has not been keeping it's promises Possibly it may intend to do so but tn, fact remains that 1t has not lived up t
 the treaty. That being the case it coul, hardly be expected that it's request woul
 receive favorable action, or that an. answer would be given to it along line
 any, different than have been followed.
 doesn't mean that there cannot be modi
 fications of the treaty but German
 must show that it is sincerely trying t
 do it's part first.

PRIMARY RESULTS.

Very little if any assistance is being furnished by the results as indicated in the primaries thus far this week for the picking of the nominee at the national senyentions. Naturally in view of the si2a of the delegations much interest sur- rounds the outcome in tho states of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio but that deesn't seem to clear up the out leck of the candidates to any great ex- tent
 In Massachusetts the primary result in complete vindication for Senator Lodge. who not only was selected as the head of the big four but received a vote far ahead of arf of those running with him- In view of his leadership in the senate and the opposition delegates in the field, this cannot fail to show the sentiment of Massachusetts regarding his work at Washington and indicate that their confidence in his judgment rel alive to presidential candidate is a. great as in his activities in the senate chamber. There has been no declara ton by the big four except that the, weuld support Coolidge
 In Ohio Senator Harding as the favor ite son is the winner but it is to be noted that General Wood is a close second con sidering the fact that he is running against senator in his own state.

THE COAL CASE DECISION.

Not for any harm that it has done and not for any misuse of power that it has made but because it possesses the power under which it .could become a menace to the country the United States supreme court has by close decision de- elared that the Philadelphia and Reading railroad and affiliated carriers and coal companies must be dissolved
 Even though it has been shown that the company has not taken advantage of the position 1t is claimed to hold, and 1t has not been shown to be monopoly through the exercise of the powers pos sessed but has avoided such a thing, the court is not disposed to view the con- tinuance of it in. it's present organization as desirable thing for the country. Finding that it has the power to increase or diminish the coal supply from large mines, to regulate the supply of cars ard other convenfences in a way to have an influence upon the operators for good or bad and to dominate through means &C., quired otherwise than through normal expansion the court takes the position that its good record cannot be regarded a- sufficient to avoid a dissolution of the  organization Even though f is admit ted that no unjust use has been made of the power possessed. the consideration given it for good behavior is noe. suia- cient 10 hold up the breaking up of the combination. It is a case where the pos sibiiity of the misuse of the power, in spite of the past recard. is considered sufficiently great to have the menace re- moved before the organization gets into the hands of those who might be less considerate.
 That 1t is expected that this order oi dissolution will work out to the advan- tags of the holders of it's stock as it ha. In other instances. is indicated by the rise in the quotations on the stock mar ket From the way in which the cour steod on the case, however. it canno help being regarded by many that tht company came mighty close to being al right. so much so that there doesn' promise to be any beneficial effects ac cTue for the consumer.

sFoP A Foop sHoRTAGE.

Long, loud and insistent demands were made during the war for the devotion of every possible effort to the increasing of foodstuffs It was understood that wfl were going to be relied upon to feed a great many more than we had been ac- Castomed to, that the countries we were associated with in the war were looking to us to furnish the food and that countries which had been dependent Ipon our allies for many supplies were turning in this direction. The result was hat there was just the kind os an ef- lcrt made as was needed to meet the situation. We turned out great duauti- ties of grain, vegetables, mea. anl otker supplies. In other words there was masterly resrS:.sse to the situation.
 We do not face that same situation today but we know how high fcodstuffs are. we know what the Shortage in cer- tain lines is doing in addition to the t1ofiteers and we cannot fail to real'Se that there $ ground for the warning that is being issued to the effect that a food shortage is faced unless efforts other than at present indicated are made to meet it. z
 The situation this year is aggravated by the fact that the farmers are exper- . iencing great difficulty in getting help. even to the extent that despite the use of machinery many are threatening to curtail production. It is for this reason that many are being urged to turn back to the farms and those who can are be- ing asked to devote whatever time they can through the summer to such work
 It is of course evident that the home gardener does not supply the markets of the country. but there are many in stances where they are able to take care of many of their own needs and the one who is able to raise his own potatoes has reason to be thankful these days. Thus in view of the conditions there should be a determination on the part of the home gardener not to permit any relaxation ir his efforts this season but to wield the hoe with greater regard for the contri button he is making to the food situation than ever.
 Every little helps and with many do ing it the contribution rolls up into large mounts.

THE UNITED cAMPAIaN.

The country is watching this week the activities and accomplishments of those who are putting their efforts back of the interchurch world movement, a colossal undertaking in which 30 denominations are Joining forces for the purpose of pre- senting a united front to the task of providing the money for the meeting of church requirements both at home and abroad.
 It is not a case where the contribu- tions secured are pooled, but a case where each denomination carries out its own work of amassing the physical re- sources for carrying forward the Chris tian effort and has full control over it's own policy but in this as in other eff, forts where those working to a com mon end are concerned there is recog- nized the importance of doing all this in one great campaign and it is the ma -chinery for this that is furnished by the interchurch movement
 In other words while the churches are working for the evangelizatiop of the world there has been recognized the ad- vantage that would be gained from put ting such efforts on more efficient basis by means of cooperation. In under taking this movement there has been made broader survey than on denomi- national lines and it is possible to show what the needs are for all rather than any particular denomination to tackle though each one of the 30 denomination will be anxious to do their individual part.
 One of the great aims is to provide the means of attending church for the 5S,- O0o,ooo in the country who are not con nected with any church. and it is the plan to aid in education. Sunday schools home and foreign missions, ministerial salaries and pensions and hospitals and homes
 The appeal is in behalf of work that needs to be done, for conditions thai need to be improved and the third of 8 billion desired is being sought by the second of May.
