 Gen. Tasker II. Bliss has just told in the De- cember number of Foreign Afairs-the authoritative story of the struggle fer the establishment of a unified Allied command under the critical three months preceding Ludendorff's mighty onslaught in March 1918 That Field Marshal Haig the prin- cipa opponent of complete Allied unity is of piquan interest but after all it is of academic interest Of greater immediate value for today is Gel. Blisss eloquent reminder of two facts which the American people have known well what it to have succeeded in forgetting them.
 One fact is that Americas representatives the first to recognize the need of Allied unity in the last winter of the and the first to begin pressure n that direction The other fact is that the Allies re- fused learn the lesson of unity until overwhelming disaster hung them.
 The story Of the winter of 1917-1S is patently about to repeat itself in the winter of 1922-23- under altered circumstances Five years after the was nearly lost by the lack of Allied cooperation We in this country are beginning to realize how the peace is in danger of being lost by lack of unity, but with this difference: Five years ago it Allies who could not bring themselves to sacrifice individual aims and anxieies fer the common good and it was America that had to plead fer full CO., operation.

HERRING PACKERS MAY OPPOSE

That the Territorial Fish Commissions stand on the elimination of wasteful methods in the herring packing industry is not pleasing to all of those en- gagged in the business and that efforts will be made to induce the Federal Bureau of Fisheries 10 take no action in the matter is indicated by article in the December of the Pacific Fisherman, Seattle publication devoted to the fishing industry. In the article mentioned is contained this statement Pack also take exception to the widely circulated concerning the waste of fish in the herring business and feel that any hard and fast requirement the utilization of wastc through the installation of reduction plants would be unnecessary handicap to the business"
 Two men engaged in the industry were quoted at length both Of whom opposed the idea of official regulation for the purpose of waste elimination One of the operators quoted saying that the waste of herring exaggerated by tourists because the churning of the propellers of coming the plants brought up all the dead fish from the bottom of the bay, and anyone unfamiliar with conditions the quantity seemed very large
 The waste of feh in tho curing of herring has net been brought to official notice through reports Of tourists, but by persons who familiar with yir- tually every phase Of the fishing industry men of practical experience well by scientific experts who have made study of the situation. intia stages of the industry it was have been expected that there would te more less wasteful practices encountered, and il have been equally expected that these engaging in the business would have been fcrerghted enough to cheek such methods without official interference becoming necessary The Alaska Flsh Comnssiens reports from the Aeid indicate tha, few of the Ter ing packers did move to take care Of rrsduets thae otherwise would Lave been wasted 5it others ran 9n mor9 reckless scale than cycr before II is the latter class which makes regulation advisable in order to safeguard the future of the n- duftry.

If It Fits

When a man is out at the elbows it is due to poverty, but when q woman is, it is due to the fashions.
 No matter what the doctors say about it our guess is a fiapper has to sleep on her back to keep her com plexion from making the pillow look like a cubist artists dream.
 It is a waste of breath for a young fellow to tell a girl he is un- worthy of her. She's gonna find it cut and he's gonna find out she'll never let him forget it, either.
 When people tell you they don't care anything for money you can safely bet your weeks pay they are adding under their breath any mere than l do for my right eye"
 One of the funniest things in life is to see what big feelings some mighty little people can sport.
 A girls beauty these days is very much on the surface.
 Like father like son" and son doesn't like father to throw a monkey wrench into this arrange ment if father isn't exactly good boy himself
 A good many divorces could be avoided if young men, who think they can't live without a girl would first figure up whether they can live with her before they marry her.
 It always has surprised us that more men, who have been tried for bigamy before a jury of married men, have not been acquitted on the grounds of insanity.
 The very incest thing you could read about some people would be their obituary notice.
 At least we are glad to know the new skirts are not to be long enough fer the dear ladies to step on them when climbing the stairs.

An Object-Lesson from Canada.
(New York World ]

For many years Canada has been frst-class GUS toner of the United States. But when this country raises it's tariff barriers higher than ever Canada naturally in fproteeton looks elsewhere for more favorable conditions for trading with foreign pro ducers
 So the Franco-Canadian commercial treaty is an accomplished fact. Under this arrangement Canada and France stand mutually to gain and the United States, because of it's prohbive tariff policy to lose And similar commercial treaty is in course oi negotiation between Canada and Belgium.
 France gains by the admission its exports to Canada at tariff rates which the most favorable accorded to any country except Great Britain and q large class of Canadian exports to France gets the benefit of lower French rates. It is the privilege of the United States, while the bargain is being car ried out to look and regret the opportunities oI extending it's foreign trade that it has deliberately renounced.
 Incidentally, the Canadian Government now awakened to the advantages of policy of reciprocity with the United States makes overtures at Washing ton and is buntly rebufed And still as Nation we talk necessarily about the urgent need of q larger foreign trade yet drive out to other markets.

100000 per cubic centimeter. If
we have been correctly informed,
that ordinance says nothing about
the kind of bacteria, but merely
regulates the number Of so-called
bugs" which may be allowed in
milk.
Such an ordinance Is bad. OBJ
viously it was not drawn by experts
in the matter Of milk. DR.. John
Dill Robertson, Chicago Health
Commissioner for many years and
one of the country's leading author
tiles on dairy products, is authority
for the statement that only rs kinds
of bacteria out Of 1900 which have
been isolated and identified are
harmful. It therefore follows that
a bacterial count which is merely
numerical means nothing. If but
termilk is analysed IN the laboratory
it will show many times more
germs" or bacteria, than the Cas-
per ordinance allows. Tactic acid
bacteria multiply very rapidly, and
millions arc to be found per &C. in
buttermilk or sour milk. But 1t
does not follow because these bac-
terra are in the milk that that milk
is dangerous for human consump-
ton. Indeed, this particular "bug''
is beneficial, scientists claim.
The number of bacteria in milk
means nothing. 1t is the KIND
of bacteria that counts. An or
dinance should be drawn, with the
help of those who are qualified to
speak on these matters, so that Cas-
per's milk supply may be intelli-
gently guarded.
In the last analysis Pasteuriza-
ton is the only absolute safeguard
against disease carriers in milk.
And Pasteurization must be prop,
erly done. Holding milk at a tenn,
perature Of 140 degrees for at least
thirty minutes is Pasteurization-
and that is the formula recommend
ed by Pasteur, the great French
scientist from whom the process
gets its name. And all cities should
make milk men have thermometer
on their pasteurization watts and
hold the milk at that temperature.
Many Of the large cities Of the
country prohibit the sale or dis
tribution of raw milk. It might
be well for Casper to consider this
matter carefully. The city coun'
Gil can afford to take enough time
to study the problem, and see
whether Casper can afford to flir'
with the health Of its people thru
partial or inadequate control Of the
milk supply.

FOREIGN FOOD

After a careful survey OF the
situation the Department Of Agri-
culture finds that the food produc-
ton Of foreign countries will be
considerably larger for 1928 than
it was last year, as a consequence
of which American exports Of
foodstuffs are apt to be curtailed.
The department says there will be q
marked gain in the production Of
wheat in Spain, Bulgaria, Poland,
India, Japan. Egypt, Algeria and
Morocco. Figures at hand do not
mention five of these countries
specifically, SO it is difficult to say
just what the volume of wheat ex-
port to them has been. We have
been exporting about 100000
bushels annually to Japan during
the past two years.
OF the two groups, "animals and
animal products, except wool and
hair" and vegetable food pro
ducts. oil seeds, expressed oils, and
beverages" we exported during the
10 months ended April, 1922
about $1,045, 000,o 900, and for the
10 months ended April, 1928, 1925,
100000 worth. The decrease ha,
been due mainly to larger consump
ton of such articles in the United
States, while agricultural recovery
in foreign countries during 1925
has no doubt been some factor il
lessening the demands for Amer
lean foodstuffs. However, exports
of these classes of goods are far
greater than they were prior to thu
war.
