peace purposes. For instance, during
the recent flood at Salzburg, when
sappers had to be dispatched to that
city. there was a great shortage OF
spades. although there were plenty of
them in the materials controlled by
the commission. Some of them were
finally released for use, but only
after the most wearisome negotia-
tfons. ,.r~g
ENDLESS RED TAPE.
This condition continues, not from
any fixed purpose on the part OF the
allies, but because of the endless red
tape involved. The commissions are
composed of military men under strict
injunction. Complaints must be ad-
dressed to the reparation committee
in Paris, or to the conference of
ambassadors. Someone is always on
leave from the conference sof ambas-
sailors and the reparation committee
is slow bureaucratic body from
which speedy action cannot be ex-
pected. So two years have passed
since the armistice. and America is
feeding Austrian children, and Den
mark, Sweden and Switzerland are
adopting starving children, but still
the embargo on these materials which
are desperately needed and are help
ing no one continues.
The embargo is theoretically de-
signed to prevent Austria from in
dulging in further warlike activities,
but as a matter of fact the only arti-
cies which have been released from
the embargo are revolvers and gun
powder.
NO wARLIKE OPERATIONS.
At any rate, warlike operations on
the part of the Austrian republic
cannot be conceived by any living
Intelligence. The Austrian army is
limited by the peace treaty to 10000
men. and DR.. Deutsch stated that Of
these only 10000 are now under arms
and an attempt has been made by the
social democrats to make the army a
producing, industrial body. On the
Hungarian border. operating under a
reactionary regime. are
now some 100000 soldiers.

ONIONS PREPARED IN FIELD
When Weather Is Favorable Yellow
and Red Varieties Can Be Cured
in Windows.

Onions are sometimes allowed to
cure in windrOws in the field, and If
the weather is clear, yellowe and red
varieties can be handled successfully
in this manner. 1t is preferable, how
ever, to place them in Slated crates
soon after topping and pile in open
sheds or in stacks in the field. In the
latter case the piles should be COW
cred with temporary roofs for protec-
ton from rain. Exposure of white
varieties to damp weather in the field
will almost invariably prove fatal, and
they should be placed in a curing shed,
where advantage can be taken Of clear
weather and protection can be given
during rainy periods.

NO CREED PREJUDICE,
SAYS GENERAL WOOD
Declares Citizenship Should Be
Measured by American Ideals,
Not Religion,

CHICAGO. April 10 (by the Asso-
ciated Press No man is fit to hold
high ADM trative Office in this
country who has any narrow religious
prejudices. Gen. Leonard Wood,
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for President, declared tonight
in an address
I'VE want a government run with
out prejudice to race. color or a
mans religious belief Gen. Wood
said. I'VE are a people who come
from all blood strains and we have
men and women of all religions. II
is vitality important that we. as
people. hold on to religion. We must
never drift away from 1t. People
who abandon their religion are people
in decadence.
Whoever is elected to a position
of high responsibility must remem-
Der that he represents all races and
all religions. and he must have no
prejudices of a character which would
influence him to favor one religious
group.
PERSONALLY. 1 am a Protestant. but
1 served many years among Catholic
people: l have many friends among
them, and received at their hands
strong support in handling difficult
questions in Cuba and elsewhere.
That support came from them not as
Catholics. but as citizens.
Religion should not enter. into
political life. We must measure citi-
zenship, not by mans religion. but
nv the way he discharges his duties
and lives up to American ideals and
standard s.
The most dangerous politician we
have today is the man who goes
about the country trying to gain
votes by arraying one racial group
against another: rousing the hatred
of one religious element for another:
striving to gain votes at the cost of
national stability"
