And once again we find King Geo Lloyd George following the leadershi the people of the American rep bli oth expressed themselves in hearty accord with I resi len Wilson’s interpretation of Count Von Hertling’s note. Lloyd ¢ is inclined to question the rather optimisti which Wilson has teken of Count Czernin’s speech, but it + quite typical of Wilson, as the world has come to know him, that he should seek to find good and succeed, to his own sat- isfaction in finding it, others might deem it absent. : Whether Czernin meant as much as Wilson be lieves or as little as Lloyd George contends matters not. Austria-Hungary is of secondary importan The empire will not, probably dare not, zecept a peace not approved by the Hohenzollerns. The dual monarehy from the very beginning has been nothing but a catspaw for German None know this better than the Austrogifungarians. Their heart is not in this war, and never has been. For them is no vision of world conquest. But they are cowed. Former premier Asquith, one of the greatest states- man Great Britain has produced sinee its Gladstone, summed up Wilson’s address with real intuition when he said in London yesterday : “The president discriminated justly both in re- gard to the tone and substance between the declara- tions of the German and the Austrian chancellors. It would seem as though, as President Wilson said, the military party alone in Germany again rejected and would have nothing to do with a peace based upon lines which, in principle, at any rate, the whole of the rest of the world is ready to accept. “It is such a peace only, and a new international order which we believe it would bring about, that would compensate for the sacrifices which justified even necessitated, the prolongation of the war. “The peace for which we are fighting must be a clean and lasting peace, res’ international justice. That is not only our opinion, Sbut the opiniof of all our allies, and we will rigor- ously and scrupulously observe those principles in cominuing the war.”7 TOWNLEY IS SCCTCHED The impregnable armor of Comrade Townley appears to have sprung a leak. It must be very apparent from the amount of space whieh the Non- partisan Leader has devoted in its last two issues to the ‘‘kept press’’ expose of the Townley chai store scheme that the simple truth, printed in a straight-forward, unbiased manner, has pricked the big boss’ skin. Townley didn’t want that story to come out. Someone who talked too much, no doubt, has heard from the all-high. And now that the story is out—- although even to this day it has not been men- tioned in The Cou s, of which Townley is also managing editor, the Nonpartisan Leader, of which Townley also is managing editor, is going to much pains to establish an alibi. ‘The Consumers’ United Stores company is a farmers’ cooperative company now oper- ating five farmers’ stores in North Dakota. It expects to start a few other stores soon. Sev- eral hundred farmers belong to each store and they have agreed among themselves, and with their company that these stores shall sell farmers who are members supplies at cost plus freight and a margin not to exceed 10 per cent for expenses. This contract is being carried out to the letter, and the stores co far estab- lished are in flourishing condition.’ And so the Nonpartisan Leader goes on in a lengthy editorial rattling the old bones of the ‘‘kep press’? and ‘‘big business’? and the ‘‘politicians’’ and the ‘‘war profiteers’’ and other bogies wh the league has used for the last three years to quiet its members when they became rest] There is not a word about the contract which provides that of the first $10,000 invested in ‘‘the company’’ but $9,000 goes into the store; not a word about where the next $10,000 gocs, in ‘‘stores’’ which have 200 members, or the next $20,000 in stores which have 300 members. The Leader refers to the ‘‘several hundred farmers’’ who belong to each store, but it does not say who the stores belong to. There is not a word about who takes all but $9,000 of every $30,000: of capital invested in the 300 membership ‘‘store’’ which Manager. -Elliott states is the preferred unit—there is not_a hint. in fact, that these stores are not purely cooperative, originating with the farmers, owned and officered by them, and controlled by them—nothing to indi- cate that this is merely another of the multifarious T schemes, conceived by him, inaugurated by im, executed by his-agents and paying into the “treasury,’’ Mr. Townley informed Referee in Bankruptcy O’Hare a few weeks ago, the neat sum rge and Prem where Mr. Townley said on the’stand herein his own bankrgptcy proceedings that he had 9,600 members in his chain store scheme, and that he had collected, ing on foundations of | $960,000 sin Nonpartisan Leader, « | us that only five stor the *‘Consumers’ U start a few more. all of these 9 ised as Town GERMANY'S NEW HATE Our boys. t 4 ingl sket to $ g of the J had dared lans for ad dogs the kaiser’s good—some- g to gloat over. , after das guns ar the trenches the ector held by on the heads ies, not always reserved for our s very happy: it has to visit its hatred.

The Tribune’s exchanges tell of dates which were confused; of farmers who drove in many cold miles to attend institutes only to find that through some miscalculation the professional | directors had failed to arrive; who remained over | jnight rather than miss the gathering from which | they had derived much benefit in former years, and who finally clamped on theif hats and walked ont of meeting when the hat was passed and they were asked to pay for their entertainment. The commis- sioner of agriculture and labor has a fat appropria-; tion to be expended in conducting th farmers’ institutes. Why pass the hat? In former yea’ the towns-people—the grasping, greedy busin men who are to be relegated to limbo by the cha store scheme—defrayed any local expenses which} might be incurred. The farmer was not asked to There was no undignified passing the hat, no that savored of the street corner mounte- bank’s performance. But, far be it from us to say that the Townley way is not better. The Tribune believes the farmers can very ‘easily decide these! questions for themselves, The arrest of Townley and Haywood and the conviction of Gilbert are tactical mistakes. Their | authors should read Irv Cobb’s ‘‘Thunders of Si-| |lence’’ and take counsel therewith. Haywood is a | bigger man with the I. W. W. and Townley and Gilbert are bigger men with the Nonpartisan league | because they have suffered martyrdom. No matter how well merited their prosecution may be, it will be interpreted at this time by those who follow blindly as persecution, and Townley and Haywood | and Gilbert will gain strength therefrom. North| Dakofa had the better way. It permitted Townley and his associates to go the limit. Townley went| much further here than he has even dared to go in Minnesota, Montana, Idaho or elsewhere, and his enemies were wise enough to Jet him alone. The best antidote for Townleyism is Townleyism. To attempt any other remedy is to simply aggravate the disease and delay the eure. Those who show the greatest disrespect for the constitution when they are ontop are the first to ery for its protection when the wheel of fortune takes a turn that carries them under. ‘The champion*knitter of E. 88th St., Cleveland, is Mrs. K.

The subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood for a hundred years. In recent years investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow- ler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during digestion is neces- sary in good bodily housckeeping. Drink plenty of water with each meal. Do not drink ice-water at any time. If your ‘kidneys are sick, or you suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at times, pain-in the back or back of the neck, take a little Anuric before meals. This can be found at any good drug. store. herefore my advice to young or old is, always drink plenty of pure water.
