There is no question but what Pres- sdent Wilson, in his address to the United States congress, speaks for the nation when he declares that all talk of peace at this time is out of the question. This country is met to be swerved from its purpose. It has set its hand to a task which must be accomplished and the time to do it is now. This country has no more faith ‘n. the imperial government of Ger- meny today than it did when it en- tered the war. It fully understands its conduet and it is determined that negotiations cannot be carried on with it, hehee there can be no idea of peace until the people of Germany put those in power who can be depended upon. That the president should urge a declaration of war upon Austria comes as no surprise. Long has it been rec- ognized that this cduntry is virtually at war with that nation and yet there has been no declaration. Austria is the-Pawn of Germany. It is subject 10_the dictates of Berlin an it is per- feetly clear that this country cannot be true to its allies or to itself as long as it permits conditions to go on as they exist tod: Tt is time that we o0k recognition of the real situation. 3t has been urged that the other allies ©of Germany be included in such a dec- luration. This the president does not favor because of the fact that as yet! they do not stand in the way of the war which this country is waging with Germany. Another matfer to which the pres- ident gives proper emphasis is that of dealing promptly and effectively with enemy aliens. It is a matter to which 00 much attention cannot be given. We have been lenfent in that direc- tion too long =2nd henceforth we should be more considerate of.our own \ welfare. His advice in this direction should be immediately put into ef- foct. RUMANIA’S POSITION. Thers has been no substantiation of the report to the effect that Rumania is seeking an armistice or peace from ihe central powers. The position of that little country is certainly one to regretted at the present Hemmed in on twn sides by the enemy, with a iarge section of ité territory overrun by the Austrians and Bulgarians it has been putting up a plucky fight. It has to o large ex- tent depended upon Russia but even when Russia had shown no signs of treating with the enemy it had falled to keen promises to it. At the very entrance of that country into ihe war It failed to get the help which it had a right to expect from Russia in the way of equipment and men to fight back the pincers like advance of the enelny. Russia has since given a certain amount of resistance but for months the fizhting spirit in that lit- tle nation has been much hetter than that shown by mighty Russia. But now with Russia in its uneers tain state, with the Bolsheviki plan- aing for a separate peace and at pres- ent negotiating for an armistice, with e opponents of the leaders of that party showing no crganization which has thus far carried any assurance of strensth or ability to overthrow the Lenine administration, there tan be no surprise that Rumania should be getting nervous, fearful of the future and desirous of getting out of its predicament the best that it can. It has received assuring words from this country but the United States 1s a long way off und its facilities for des- patching aid limited. Rumania to a great extent depended upén Russia. With that prop gone it is forced to abide by the dictates of necessity. ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Not long ago the trustees of Colui- Bia university feit called upon in ju tice tg the insitution and to the na- tion to dimmiss certain of its teach- ers who were placing the university is an embarrassing position becaure Sorking againdt he course which had the course een umm ky this eoutitry In ~ &M.l; out its plans in commection B -n::"a':.'mm- omciain L Vi B R "u.-,ap-_-« o ot ! reason whe cause of the fact that they ‘were pro- feasors at Columbia. Much wis heard at that timb about academic freedom but‘im his annual report- President Butfer of Columbia deals with that matter effectively when he says “When a teacher ac- cepts an invitation to become a mem- ber of an coademic sosiety, he there- upon loses somie of the freedom that he formorly possesséd. He remains, as before, suliject to, the testrictions ana puni¥fiments of the lw, but in addition he has voluirtarily accepted the restrictions put upon him by the traditiphs, organisation and the pur- poses of {ho Institution witit which he has been ,assovlated.

The move which is being made by two New York congressmen to have the taxation acts so changed that the members of congress will not be ex- empted from the payment of income taxés is bound to be followed by a ereat deal of interest. That it is a move in the right direction will be Eenérally admitted and there are fea- sons to believe that it will meet with 4 better respemse among the mem- hers of congress under existing con- ditions than it wouwld at any other time. 1t is mot to be supposed that our cohgressmen are anmy less patriotic than their constituents. There . are redasons for believing that they are us to de their part in every way re#sibl> to advance the interests of the country in the war and to see that the necestary fidancial backing is forthcomingz, but they must recognize st the same time that if such Is the case they as well as thess who send them to Washingtoh should be in- cluded In the list of those who fur- nish the money. There is in the first place no good they should have been exoluded from the provisions of the law. Tiey may be under heavy ex- penses but so are other people. They may be serving the country, but so are other people and it is only just that they should participate in what they impose upen othsr people. In view of the opposition which ordi- narily eould be cxpected from such a move it requires courage on the part of thé backers to make it, but they are right and right should prevail, UTILIZE WATER POWER. It can be anticipated that the zreat- er part of the work of the present ses- sion of conaress will be devoted to waf busimess, That is the most im- portant metter before the country to- day and it must get the atteation that it deserves, but there ars matters Which ate made more important be- cause of the war which ought to re- ceive considerats attention for that very reason. 5 While the countri is sufferinz from difficulties in gefting coal, shortags existing in various sections becaure of the lack of tramspdrtation facilities and indusiries sericusly affected os ihe result therec:, it is time that con- Srees gave some thought to the de- velopment of tha vast amount of wa- terpower which goes t waste every day, which if it was made use of would furnish a great deal of atd in operating industries, railreads or in fact perform any service where power is required. It only requires a little thought as to how much is already being derived from such natural resources today to apprecidte how much mors can be secured, when it is realized that there is 50,000,000 horsepower going to waste every 24 nours. A, number of bills have heen before conzress deaing with this matter. Others are still there. It is a matter which deserves careful consideration and therefore should not be too hasty but there ought not to Be 2ny untiecessary dé- lay 'in dealing with o matter whiéh is of such vital Importance to the coun- try and growlng more %o every day.

The reception it hey récelved FACTS AND COMMENT The worst is over in the sugar sit- uation, or soon should he. Alread% the first of the sugar cano is being ground in Cuba, the Ohjo refiners are receiv- ing 10,000 tons daily from the middle west sugar-beet growers, and yet oth- er supplies are on the way from Ha- wail and our bwn twestern states. Meantime large quantities of sugar ¢wned by neuiral governments and Russia but not ¥et shipped out of the country were comtmardeered by the Usited States government and have helped the situation materially al- ready. Before the war England was using sugar at the rate of ninety-thiree and & half poumds per capita per vear, while our bwn people were consuming abount ninety pounds. At present Eng- fand uses but_twents-six pounds, ‘While France allofs but eighteen pound 0 each citizen for the year, and Ital ts along on a still smaller portion. The ulmost that Mr. Hoover urged our people 16 Go was to reduce their con- sumption by sométhing less than a third. As the cost of flour has increased, the bakers have tried various means to make both ends mect, reducing the size of the loaf, increasing the price and cheapefiing the ingredients, until nobody kAows what he is buying. To ohviate this difficuity and at the same timre to conserve food supplies, the Food Administration has ruled that be ginning December 10 ail _ bakeries shall produce loaves of only stand- ard shall conform to an official recipe and shall make no fancy breads. The recipe ordered contains consider- ably lems sugar and ehortening than is ordinarily used. Such loaves, it is cal- culated, swould sell fo: seven_cents a pound at the bakery door. Retailers will of course receive something more according to their methods of doing businoss. As forty per cent. of all the bread eaten in America is bakery-made enormous savings in foud supplies will result. Bakers are forbidden to de- stroy stale loaves and to take back unsold bread from retailers. THis last prohibition alone will save 60,000 bar- rels of flour yearly. The scarcity of clothing in Germany is felt only léss than the lack of prop- er food. A= early as 191€ an imperial clothing office was opened, all stocks were inventoried and clothing tickets were issued soon after. The num- ber of garments that might be pur- chased was strictly jimited by law, and only a minimum of goods might be bought for alteration or repair of clothes alreadv in noseession, This Year matters have hecome still worse. A man is allowed to bave one work day suit, one better suit. one over- coat, and a very limited supply of socks, handkerchiets and underwear. A woman may only possess two every- day dresses. one hetter dress. one cloak, four chanees of underwear and four pair of stockings. There i3 in Rerlin a central office for old clothes. that renovates and sells anew all woods that car he procured. Buyvers attend in throngs. All cloth- es are divided, with true German thoroughness, into five classes: 1. New or Jittle worn. 2. Not very much worn. 3. Much worn, but good. 4. Much worn and torn. 5. Worn out, fit only for workmen. From these goods are mpde up the so-culled “imperigl suits” for returning soldiers and needy cities throughout the empire are alse supplied. Only ohe mourning dress is allowed in case of bereavement, and it is being wenerallv urged to give up the stom of burying the dead in their best clothez. as all garments are need- oG _for the ilving. 5 Shees cre even scarcer than clothes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITO} Polite Boy Disaprearing. Mr. Editor: Mrs, F. W. strikes & sympathetic vein in me when she asks where the polite boy is. He simply isn't, or has faded so far into the hackground that he doesn’t count. Oh, there are a row left—descendanis of | the old New England stock who hed! received the advantages of education and society as it then was, who still keep up those thiAgs, and there is where one finds real, natural refine- ment. But the society (so calied) of today has no use for the polite boy. he is gtven a back seat—he is left ou 1f one is polite nowadays he is a green- horn, as the city boy used to say. If we would get anywheré today we must be filled, loaded down with fads. The boy of today “comes up” with the idea (and that idea is encouraged by s parents) that the great aim in life is to get all he can of this world’s go0dz and by almost any sort of means. 1t the rest don't keep up with him, that is their lookout.
