IN several Of the corn producing
: states IL is reported that farmers
are burning corn. 1t Is argued that It
is wrong to burn food when people
are starving in Europe and Asia. The
same kind Of argument makes It
sin to continue wearing Old clothes
instead Of buying new when people
are freezing for-wAnt Of clothes they
are unable to buy. 1t makes It sin
for ourselves when other people are
in need Of the product Of our saving.
Any philanthropic person who VIII
give the farmer n ton Of higher priced
fuel for = ton Of corn, can save the
corn, and II will cost him no more
than 1t costs the farmer to buy coal
and sell his corn. To our mind 1t is
no more harm to burn corn for fuel
than to burn anything else. We'd
burn our household furniture to keep
warm on winter day " we could
replace 1t cheaper than we could buy
any other fuel.

FRENCH YIELD TO
HUGHES NAVAL RATIO
Premier BRAND Sends Long Cable
gram to the Delegates to
Arms Farley.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Acting on In
structionS received from Premier Bril-
and, the French delegation here have
modified the French demand for &c.,
600 tons of capital ships.
During the night long coded cable
gram reached the delegation from
London, where BRAND is now discuss
ing international problems with Lloyd
George. Albert Sarraut, accompanied
by Ambassador Jusserand, Admiral De
Bon and an interpreter, arrived at the
State department and laid the sub
stance of the BRAND message before
Secretary Hughes. The meeting last
ed two hours, and it was then an
nOunced that the naval committee will
meet later.
Meantime Secretary Hughes had re-
ceived from Ambassador Harvey as
surances that BRAND had ordered the
French delegation not to hold up the
naval limitations plan any longer.
1t was reported that Balfour and
Root have begun to draft a treaty on
China.
An authoritative explanation was
given on behalf of the American dele
gates of Secretary Hughes action In
cabling instructions to Harvey to see
BRAND. The French delegates still
here were reported to be peeved at
this apparent disregard of their au-
thority as plenipotentiaries. AS.
matter of fact, Mr.. Hughes still recog-
nizes BRAND as head of the French
delegation and in view of his ex-
changes with the French premier prior
to Brands departure from Washing
ton, the secretary of state felt himself
obligated to get into direct touch In
this crisis.
