Let Justice Be Done.

The allied nations. with the
exception of France. are pre-
pairing to make conditions easy
for Germany, while France
stoutly opposes any revision of
the treaty of Versailles that will
in any manner modify her claims
against Germany.
The tendency in England and
in America to rehabilitate Ger
many and put her economic
resources upon a sound basis, so
she may enter into commercial
and industrial competition with
the nations she has despoiled, is
looked upon with gra re concern
by the French. whose industries
are crippled to the extent that
France is in no condition or mood
to make concessions to Germany.
The Huns started the war for
territorial and industrial ag-
grandisement and for the pur-
pose of extending their system
and their ''kultur" over the en-
tire world. In fact. Germany's
object was a war of conquest,
a merciless war for the extermi-
nation of every element of
humanity that opposed her
sovereignty and it is the opinion
of the great majority of the peo-
pie of both Europe and America
that justice demands of Ger
many as near a complete restora-
tion as it is possible to make,
and indemnity for the human
wreckage for which she has been
responsible.
From the standpoint of Ameri-
can and British profiteers this is

Flour Should Be Cheaper.

In the natural course of COM
mercial economies -four should
be selling at q lower price. re-
gardless Of government regula-
tions. The United States milled
15. .2l9. 600 more barrels of flour
from July 1, 1919. to- February
20 of this year than in the same
period in 1919, and exported
81, ,87S. 600 barrels less.
If there is any dependence to
be put upon the rule of supply
and demand, as a regulator of
prices. flour should be consider
ably lower. for there must have
been an accumulation of 85. O92. :
600 barrels in the stated period
and, allowing home consumption
to be considerably greater than
last year, owing to the removal
of regulations requiring the use
of substitutes, the supply must
be great in comparison to a year
ago, for there seems to have
been both a production and a
saving that amounts to about
three-fourths of a barrel per
capita for the whole United
States. If this be a fact, as the
evidence seems to prove, it can
not be long to the time when
flour will be selling at a con-
siderable less price than it is
today.

York Commissioners Not at Fault.

AS the Yorkville Enquirer
points out. just criticism cannot
be aimed at the York county
commissioners for the failure of
the proposed Notwithstanding
bridge across the Catawba river.
The original proposition to build
the bridge came from the Meek
ienburg county authorities with
the statement that they would
pay two-thirds the est of
the structure, estimated to in
volve an expenditure of $50, 900.
The proposition met with the
approval of the York legislative
delegation and last year the
county supply bill carried an
appropriation of $40. 600 for the
enterprise. But when the time
came last summer to select the
site for the bridge it was found
that the cost of structural steel
and other building material had
risen in price to such an extent
that the original estimate of
$50. 600 would prove inadequate
to build the bridge and at the
recent session Of the Legislature
York county's part of the cost OF
the structure was increased to
@. .OOO-this with the distinct
understanding that Mecklenburg
county was to pay two-thirds the
cost Of the bridge and York
county the remaining third. Now
the Mecklenburg authorities put
forward the specious plea that
because the site mutually agreed
upon for the bridge would ne

NEW ORLEANS. May 11-There was

trading at 5000. Toward the middle

Selling came from all parts of the
ring, and much liquidation of long con-
tracts was forced. Prices fell off to

of yesterday, July declining to 37.70c

close early sellers bought back some of

Omit Word prudent"

There is no other way to win, and
the whole principle of this war is the
kind of thing that ought to hearten and
stimulate America. America is the
prize amateur nation of the world.
Germany is the prize professional ma
tion OF the world Now, when it comes
to doing new things and doing them
well | will back the amateur against
the professional every time. He knows
so little about it that he is fool enough
to try the right thing. The men that
do not know the danger are the rashest
men.
please leave out of your vocabulary
the word prudent Do not stop to think
about what is prudent for a moment
Do the thing that is audacous to the
utmost point of risk and daring because
that is exactly the thing that the other
side does not understand and you will
win by the audacity of method when
you cannot win by circumspection and
prudence.
II think that there are willing ears
to hear this in the American navy and
the American army because that is the
kind of folks we are. We get tired of
the old ways and covet the new ones
Il am not discouraged for a moment
particularly because We have not even
begun, and, without saying anything in
disparagement of those with whom we
are associated in the war | do expect
things to begin when we begin. If
they do not, American history will have
changed its course the American army
and navy will have changed their char
acter. There will have TO come new
tradition into a service which does not
do new and audacious and successful
things"

TOLD NAVAL MEN


Intimately said and. even though the
company is large, said In confidence,
This Is an unprecedented war. and,
therefore, 1t is a war in one sense for
amateurs. Nobody ever before con-
Quoted a war like this and therefore
nobody can pretend to be professional
in war like this. Here are two great
navies, not to speak of the others as
ISOLATED with me-our own and the
British, outnumbering by a very great
margin the navy to which we are OPP
posed and yet casting about for a way
In which to use our superiority and our
strength.
!. Now, somebody has got to think this
war out Somebody has got to think
out the way not only to fight the sub
marine, but to do something different
from what We are doing
We are hunting hornets all over the
farm and letting the nest alone. None
OF us know how to 60 to the nest and
crush 1t and yet 1 despair of hunting
hornets all over the sea when I know
where the nest is and know that the
nest Is breeding hornets as fast as l
can find them. l am willing for my
part and l know you are willing. be-
cause l know the stuff you are made
of am willing to sacrifice half the
navy Great Britain and we together
have to crush that nest, because If
we crush 1t the war is won. l have
come here to say I do not care where
3 comes from. l do not care whether
1t comes from the youngest officer
or the oldest, but | want the officers
Of this navy to have the distinction of
saying how this war is going to be won.

Willing to Make Sacrifices.

II am willing to make any sacrifice
for that. mean any sacrifice of time
put myself at the disposal of any officer
in the navy who thinks he knows how
to run this war, l will not undertake
to tell you whether he does or not,
because | know that l do not know,
but l will undertake to put him in
communication with those who can find
out whether his idea will work or not.
] have the authority to do that and |
will do it with the greatest pleasure.
II wish that I could think and had
the brains to think in the terms of
marine warfare, because l would feel
then that l was figuring out the future
history Of the political freedom Of
mankind. / do not see how any man
can look at the flag of the United
States and fail having his mind crowded
with "reminiscences of the number of
unselfish men, seeking no object of
their own, the advantage of no dynasty
the advantage of no group of privileged
people, but the advantage of his fellow
of that beautiful emblem. 1 wonder if
. men who do die under it realize the
distinction they have.
There is distinction in the privilege
and | for my part am sorry to play
so peaceful a part in the business as
I myself am obliged to play and
conceive it a privilege to come and
look at you men who have the other
thing to do and ask you to come and
tell me or tell anybody you want to
tell how this thing can be better done
and we will thank God that We have
got men of originative brains among
us.
I'VE have got to throw tradition to
the winds.
"As I have said, gentlemen, I take
1t for granted that nothing that I say
here will be repeated and therefore
am going to say this. Every time we
have suggested anything to the Brit
ish admiralty the reply has come back
that virtually amounted to this, that
1t had never been done that way, and
felt like saying. Wen, nothing was
ever done so systematically as nothing
is being done now Therefore, should
like to see something unusual happen,
something that was never done before,
and, inasmuch as the things that are
being done to you were never done be-
fore, don't you think it is worth while
to try something that was never done
before against those who are doing
them to you?
