retail price has fallen an average Of
40 cents per forty nine pound sack
within the last thirty days. Whether

from Minneapolis. saying that flour

one has q different idea on the sub
ject and, your guess may be ms

chant.
Two important reasons are given
for the decline. The first is a re-
suit Of the big decrease in value of
foreign money in the United States.
England, which has always been one
OF our largest foreign buyers Of
grain. has stopped buying because it
takes too much money conseq GENTLY
tho exports of wheat have fallen Off
greatly. Just how long 1t will be be-
fore foreign money gets back to
something like pre.war value no one
knows.
Much Grain Moving.
The second reason IL due TO rail-

sued two weeks ago providing spe-
cial equipment for the moving OF
grain. This has proved very Sue

Gratis is painting for us the true
Daniels-an able executive, demo-
cratic chief, humane official, a
force for justice where justice is
needed badly.
1t is shocking to these grand
knights of the gold braid that the
comfort of the enlisted men should
be thought of. They have been
reared in the doctrine of caste, and
their method of correcting the en-
listed man't difficulties is to throw
him overheard or swing him from the
yard arm.
Daniels never goes aboard ship
without getting acquainted with
some of the enlisted men. The writ
err has seen him pacing the deck on
the windy side of the ship, wearing a
common overcoat and golf cap on a
nasty day, stopping occasionally to

the cabin was a whole concourse of
admirals and officials, resplendent in
yards Of gold braid and unimpressive
Journalism, chatting easily with mill
tary chiefs and civilian dignitaries,
the latter in high silk hats and high
dignity.
Daniels was different. He was in
terested in the work of running the
ship, and common sailor was an
parsonage in his eyes. The
folk on the other side of the cabin
might raise a whole fleet of question
ing eyebrows at the question,
Where's Mr.. Daniels" Why, to be
sure, he was careening around among
he enlisted men, entirely too soil
'itous about their personal comfort |

navy should be rebuked by the high

A FATAL FAULT

At length we have the real reason
for the war against Secretary of the
Navy Daniels by certain clique of
high naval officers. Rear Admiral
Fiske, retired, formerly an official
naval adviser of hte secretary, tells
the congressional investigating COM
mittee that he found that he could
not work in harmony with Daniels,
and therefore resigned his advisory
job in 1916. He further states that
the secretary paid too much atten-
ton to Details" and "was particular
ly solicitious regarding the welfare
Of of the enlisted men," attached
undue Importance to the comfort Of
the men," and carried his efforts to
democratize the navy to an extent
inconsistent with discipline"
Now we can see why Daniels is
not loved by such old salty clubroom
admirals as Sims and Fiske and the
other gold-braid malcontents. Daniels
is too much of human being. The
more we hear from his enemies the
more we like Daniels. Daniels is a
man whose visible personality is not
impressive. 1t takes his enemies to
bring out his better qualities, and
the long and painful campaign of
SANDER and vilifcation that is being
waged by the old-school naval auto
