that he was not even "a receptive can

Mr. Colby said:
The report persists that | am to be

are matters which the convention itself
will decide.
II am not even a receptive candidate
for the position of permanent chairman.
There are many other members of the
party with much stronger claims upon
its recognition and who richly deserve
any honor in its gift. l am going to
the convention with no other thought
than to cooperate heartily with my
fellow delegates from the District Of
Columbia and to participate in the de
liberations Of the convention modestly

Cox And GermaaisH.

One Of the first things the Re-
publicans undertook to spring on
Cox, the Democratic nominee for
President was that he is or was
pro- German. An Observer sub
scriber at Lenoir has sent it a
clipping from a Baltimore paper
making the charge and asking
for an editorial expression. tits
we'll to give the straight of the
matter at the beginning-for an
avalanche of Republican roor-
backs is sure to be on the way.
The charge that Cox was a Ger
man sympathizer is but one of
many that are to develop before
the campaign is we'll under way.
Governor Cox is a newspaper
man. He owns The Dayton News
and it is a known fact that dur
ing 1915and 1916, editorials which
were regarded by some as of a
pacitist nature, were published
in that paper. But while Cox
owned the newspaper property,
he was not its editor. The edi-
torial policy of the paper was in
the hands of George Burba, who
was solely responsible for the ed.
itorial utterances of the paper.
Burba- no longer connected with
Cox's makes statement
that he wrote all the editorials
without at any time consulting
Governor Cox about them. Cox
was away from Dayton a great
deal of the time and Burba as.
sumed full responsibility and au-
thority for all that happened in
it's columns. But Burba makes
contention that none of his edi
torials was pro,German. He gives
in evidence that his son, a boy of
10, enlisted in the ranks the day
war was declared against Ger
many, and that Cox seemed to
have faith enough in his Ameri-
canism to let him alone. 1t is yet
to be proved that the Dayton
Times WIS at any period during
the war pro- German paper, and
even if anything Barba had writ.
ten could have been interpreted
as un-American, Cox was not the
author and was not responsible
to any possible extent further
than he was owner of the paper.
There was a time when The

FRENCH CROPS


es this subject Interestingly as
follows:
Although suffering more than
any other nation through loss of
man power and in area of terri
tory devastated by the war,
France expects to be able with
this years crop of cereals to feed
herself. In this respect the
French people have gone ahead
of others of the allies, whose food
supplies must continue to depend
in great measure on the granar-
les of the United States. While
in this country there has been
talk among farmers of less acre
age planted because of the scar
city of labor, and still more dis
cussion of further reducing pro.
duction because prices are not
satisfactory, the sole aim of the
French agriculturist has been to
plant as much as possible and to
produce every bushel of which
the somewhat impoverished soil
is capable. Upon the successful
working out of that policy de.
pends the proper nourishment of
the people, for without the food
through which to develop the
brain and Drawn of French work
ers, whose vitality was sapped
through four long years Of in
cessant and hard fighting, a re.
turn to prewar industrial activi-
ty would be impossible.
The French farmers, aided by
Providence, will gather a wheat
crop estimated at 260,OO0,0OO
bushels. To do this they plant.
ed almost 100000 more acres
than the year before and have
brought it to a successful har-
vest in the face of difficulties that
would have staggered any other
than a Frenchman, who was SOW
ing and reaping for his beloved
France and not for the dollars
and cents represented by his
wheat. With reasonable restric-
tions, but without wartime sac
rifices, and with a judicious use
of other cereals that have been
grown, the Frenchau thoritiesex-
pect that France will be practi.
cally independent of other ma
tions, so far as breadstnffs are
concerned. This not only means
a monetary saving for the French
people, but will enable the Unit.
ed States and other countries
that grow the major portion Of
the worlds wheat to do more for
those st, ic Ken lands which are
not yet able to help themselves.
This harvest means that France
will keep in the hands Of her own
people between 3,0O0,000,0O0 and
4,OOO,0O0,0OO francs, considera-
BILE portion of which would other
wise have gone outside to buy
food.stuffs. And every franc
would have shrunken largely in

chased it's share of the bread the

the devastated regions, where
shelter for the farmers is only Of
a temporary character and Their
