In other words, the only way to get it back is by creating a permanent adverse balance of trade in our dealings with foreign lands. This means an increase of importations, or their maintenance at their present high level. It means that we are not proportionately to increase our exportations, because if we did, this would create no trade balance due us that would enable foreign countries to pay off their debt to us through trade dealings with the United States. This increase of importations means a slowing down of normal American production. That means idle factories and idle men. It means, in other words the destruction of American domestic prosperity. When Germany imposed a huge indemnity upon France at the close of the Franco-Prussian war it became necessary for France to pay the debt in goods rather than in gold. The result was the stimulation of Frenrh industry and the paralysis of German industry. It caused a serious set-back to German industry and it put France on president, made the double eagle screech a duet for freedom here last evening in the Eighth ward Schuetzenverein hall. Mr. Hohenzollern proved extremely popular with the Eighth ward voters and after the meeting asked everybody what they'd have." The transition from pomp to proletariat is easy. The helmet of the Caesars gives way to the plug hat of politics and the imperial edict stands aside for the congressional majority. PACIFIST PECULIARITIES One of the most curious characteristics of the pacifist is his remoteness from the ordinary feelings of humanity. He is not so much inhuman as unhuman; he reverses Terence's familiar saying, and finds everything appertaining to mankind foreign to him. Thus, all the hideous brutalities, the unnamable atrocities, committed by Germans leave him cold. He goes on debating terms of peace as if these crimes had never happened. Yet nothing could be a worse outrage on every principle alike of national interest and of national honor than a peace by which Germany would escape paying the fullest possible penalty for her crimes. These may not move the pacifist to righteous indignation. He may see the victims of them only as pawns in his rhetorical game. But the plain wayfaring man does not draw nice distinctions when it comes to dealing with ravishers and assassins.—New York Tribune. HUN DIPLOMACY After outraging the women of Belgium, bombarding the women of England from the air, exiling women from France and murdering the women of America on the high seas, the men of Germany have now set their own tralia, Canada, New Afria British colonies.

The result was the stimulation of Frenrh industry and the paralysis of German industry. It caused a serious set-back to German industry and it put France on the way to the prosperity which has stood her in such good stead during the present war. It is going to be insisted by free traders and by financiers more interested in finance than in trade that we should accept payment of the ten billion dollars due us from Europe in goods rather than in gold. If it were necessary to do this it would be better to forgive the whole debt, as Mr. Wickersham proposes, taking into account the disastrous effect on American industry which would inevitably occur. The nations to which we have advanced vast sums will be in no position to make immediate payment after the war. On this account the United States should accept the long time securities of these nations, and permit the income to help pay the interest on bonds issued by the United States. The repayment direct of this vast sum would be a temptation to a continuance of that governmental extravagance which has reached such alarming proportions. At the end of the war the American people will confront the necessity of meeting huge obligations. The annual cost of government, including the interest on our obligations, will be three times the high water mark of all periods prior to the beginning of the present national administration. If they are to meet these obligations, the people of the United States must be permitted to maintain their domestic prosperity. The home market, the richest in all the world and a trade prize for which the rest of the world would pay almost any price, must not be handed over to our trade competitors for the mere promotion of schemes of international finance. To sacrifice our home market in a wild goose chase after foreign markets, which, with our higher labor costs, we are in poorer position to master even than our own market with unrestricted competition, would be to trade a turkey in the hand for a buzzard in the bush. The American people must be on guard against all camouflaged schemes to foist free trade upon them. HUN DIPLOMACY After outraging the women of Belgium, bombarding the women of England from the air, exiling women from France and murdering the women of America on the high seas, the men of Germany have now set their own women to pleading with the United States for a mitigation of the armistice terms. The petitions of the German women to Mrs. Wilson and to Miss Jane Addams are but another move in the subtle game of Berlin statecraft to put America in the position of being Germany's intermediary with the democracies of the world. Fortunately, German diplomacy has a certain naive clumsiness in its working that reveals the cloven hoof. Thus the Berlin government has already been informed, both by the armistice terms and by subsequent communication, that it is not the intention of the democratic nations so cruelly wronged by Germany to let the German people starve to death. What food is necessary to keep life from becoming extinct in Germany will be doled out. Germany knows it. Nevertheless, the German women return to the hunger plea with an insistence that is wholly unnecessary and that is designed to create an atmosphere of sentimentalism in America for the use of the German delegates at the peace conference. The attempt to develop a sudden spirit of cordiality between the women of Germany and the women of the United States, has no heart feeling in it. It is purely a diplomatic move. Otherwise the German women would have addressed all the women of the Allied nations. Germany's persistent begging for a few crumbs, in any case, is being overdone. There is no reason to believe the Germans are starving. Undoubtedly they are short on rations, but so is the rest of the world, and it is good for Germans to have less to eat than those who have suffered to save the world from Germany's brutal power. It will help to stimulate some right thinking. As for the German women, who now beg of American motherhood, how many among them held a cup of water beyond the reach of wounded American soldiers and spat in the faces of American prisoners? To sacrifice our home market in a wild goose chase after foreign markets, which, with our higher labor costs, we are in poorer position to master even than our own market with unrestricted competition, would be to trade a turkey in the hand of a buzzard in the bush. The American people must be on guard against all camouflaged schemes to foist free trade upon them, with all this involves of idle industries, unemployed men, soup kitchens, bread lines and the accompaniments of free trade tariffs made familiar to the American people in 1894 and in 1914. PRESIDENT HOHENZOLLERN Is there anything in the light of recent events that urges Wilhelm to trade his kaisership for a presidency? Can we hear him say: "What a chump I've been; here I've wasted all these years being a mere emperor when I might just as well have been a president. As kaiser I am blamed for being the voice of autocracy; as president I shall be the voice of a democracy; kaiserism is done; long live democracy." What a different Wilhelm with the Cologne Gesundheit reporting as follows: "In concluding his nominating speech Herr Ing said: 'I take the profoundest pleasure in giving you the name of that sterling patriot, that Junkersonian democrat, that peerless, Prussian propagandist of the people, William Hasenpfeffer Hollenzollern—(cheers)—than whom—(cheers)—there is—(cheers) no whomer—'" Or this from the Munich Prosit: "William Hohenzollern, candidate for TOTAL WAR COST Every man, woman and child in the belligerent nations owes almost ten times as much money as he did at the beginning of the war. Figures of the war's cost to the world compiled by the Federal Reserve Board are summarized in the statement that the approximate public debt per capita had increased from $60 before the war to almost $600 to the end of July. The direct cost of the war is calculated by the board at somewhere between $170,000,000,000 and $180,000,000,000, not taking into account the amortization of the debt or the cost of indebtedness. The total debt of the seven principal belligerents before the war did not exceed $25,000,000,000. The board contrasts these figures with the total value of the gold and silver extracted from the earth since the beginning of the world, which, it says, hardly exceeds $30,000,000,000. The belligerent nations therefore owe about six times the amount of all the gold and silver produced in all time. Great Britain's debt has increased almost ten times in the period of the war, or from $3,580,000,000 to $32,450,000,000 down to last June.

France's debt was quadrupled by the beginning of this year, the figures show (for a latter date not being available), from $8,325,000,000 to $25,451,-000,000 from that time. The public debt of the United States is calculated to January 18, in order to be in line with those of other countries; increasing by that date to over $8,000,-000,000 from a pre-war figure of a billion and a quarter. Since that time $11,500,000,000 have been subscribed to the Liberty loans, thus increasing the national debt about sixteen fold. GERMANY'S DEBT TO THE WORLD The Paris Matin has figured that Germany owes to France 68 billion dollars because of the war the kaiser turned loose without provocation. This bill, itemized, is as follows: Cost of war, 28 billions, reparation for damages, 20 billions, pensions to disabled Frenchmen, 8 billions, return of indemnity paid Germany in 1870, 1 billion, interest 11 billion. This is a stupendous sum and greater than the total valuation of the German empire at the present time, but nobody can deny that the Frenchman's claim is just. If all other nations of the world put in a similar bill, counting only actual money loss caused them by the kaiser's ambition to rule the world, leaving out of consideration the millions of dead, the total would be so staggering that men could scarcely realize its meaning. If the German empire could be sold for its actual cash value, the sum realized would not pay 25 per cent of the debt it owes the world.

In both cases two cups of rice were used but in the latter case the rice was cooked in two quarts of skim milk instead of water. One cup of rice as most housekeepers know will absorb from four to six cups of milk if cooked slowly in the double boiler or in the oven. Rice cooked in this way has a richness and flavor which that cooked in water does not possess. The two quarts of skim milk furnish the same amount of nourishment as the pound of beef left out，但 skim milk can very often be bought in the country for five cents a quart while the pound of beef costs thirty-five. If preferred the rice can be cooked in a mixture of milk and water and some of the milk reserved and used in the stew. Used in Numberless Ways This is just one of the ways in which use of skim milk can help save pennies. If you live on a farm where it is plentiful you can use it in numberless ways to make your meals more nourishing and inexpensive. Use it to make vegetable soups and chowders. Use it in making bread and for dressing vegetables. Cook your breakfast cereal in it or make milk cereal or bread puddings,custards,或other milk desserts.The protein given in form of a rice pudding or other milk desserts is just as valuable to your body as when served as the main dish of a meal. Another way to make milk save meat is to utilize the skim milk for making cottage cheese.Cottage cheese is one of the most valuable meat substitutes and is easy to make.A nutritious and delicious recipe for its use tells how to make meat sausages from it. Cottage Cheese Sausage 1 cup cottage cheese. 1 cup dry bread crumbs，或½ cup of cold cooked rice,and¼ cup of bread THE GERMAN IMMIGRATION PROBLEM It requires only a little calm consideration to perceive that, as a result of the calamity she has brought upon herself, Germany will not be able to return to a normal industrial condition for years. She has alienated the custom, as well as the friendship, of practically the rest of the world. More bitter toward her than her recognized enemies of the last four years are, perhaps, the nations which she has recently been styling her allies. Her world trade has been wiped out. The armistice conditions deprive her of the ability to retrieve it, as she had hoped and planned, before her competitors could enter the field. She must make restitution for what she has destroyed, restore all stolen goods in her possession, and supply indemnities for everything she has seized and applied to her own use. For an indefinite season Germany will be back where she was during the first half of the last century, when one of her poets, forced into exile by the prevalent poverty and depressior, sang. "Farewell, thou land where Hope is blighted, "Farewell, my country and my home." There will, in all probability, be another great German exodus, another wave of Teutonic emigration such as that which followed the revolution of 1848. Then the United States held its arms wide open in welcome to refugees and exiles, admitted them without question, and laid within their reach the opportunity which had been denied them at home. No doubt, German immigrants will soon be flocking to the United States in great numbers, if the doors shall again be opened to their admission. Here, plainly, arises a problem; but it is less difficult of solution than the problem likely to arise from the flocking of German immigrants into Mexico and Central and South American countries. At the worst, the German immigrant in the United States can be kept under surveillance; at the best, he seeks a foothold in the Western Hemisphere with motives such as those which have prompted great numbness of consideration the millions of dead, the total would be so staggering that men could scarcely realize its meaning. If the German empire could be sold for its actual cash value, the sum realized would not pay 25 per cent of the debt it owes the world. 1916. In 1917 the average price went up to $132, but in 1918 the fall was resumed and the average price became $128. In 1910 'the price of a farm horse averaged about 240 per cent higher than the price of a cow; now a horse averages only 50 per cent higher. Although the average acreage of sugar cane per farm outside of Louisiana is quite small, this crop is so generally grown in some of the Southern States that the total acreage for an entire state may be surprisingly large. In Georgia, for instance, the cane patch per farm is only two-fifths of an acre, according to an estimate by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, and yet the estimated total acreage of the state is 67,300. Of the German potash imported into the United Kingdom before the war, about one-fourth was used in agriculture, but the prediction of German papers that British agriculture would be greatly damaged by the stoppage of the supply from Germany has not been verified. New domestic sources of supply have been utilized, chief of which is the dust of blast furnaces. Another big source of supply has been found in the washing of greasy wool, and another available one is the dust and fumes of cement kilns. The prices paid for picking cotton, this year, average $1.18 in North Carolina, $0.99 in South Carolina, $1.5 in Georgia, $1.34 in Florida, $0.92 in Alabama, $0.96 in Mississippi, $1.04 in Louisiana, $1.25 in Texas, $1.28 in Arkansas, $1.31 in Tennessee, $1.57 in Oklahoma, and $2 in California. These prices are per 100 pounds of seed cotton, including short and long lint and sea island, and have been ascertained by the cotton crop specialist of the Bureau of Crop Estimates. In 1896 the United States average price for picking upland cotton was 44 cents. In the pre-war period of five years, 1909-1913, the United States produced 18.4 per cent of the world's crop of wheat and contributed 13.5 per cent to the world's exports of wheat. Of corn, production was 71.1 per cent and the exports 16.6 per cent; of tobacco, production was 36.7 per cent and the exports 41 per cent; and of cotton production was 61.6 per cent (China omitted) and the exports 64.5 per cent. During the same five years, the United States produced 26.2 per cent of the world's crop of oats, 12.4 percent of milk. Another way to make milk save meat is to utilize the skim milk for making cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is one of the most valuable meat substitutes and is easy to make. A nutritious and delicious recipe for its use tells how to make meat sausages from it. Cottage Cheese Sausage 1 cup cottage cheese. 1 cup dry bread crumbs, or $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cold cooked rice and $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of bread crumbs. $\frac{1}{4}$ cup peanut butter or 2 tablespoon savory fat. $\frac{1}{4}$ cup coarsely chopped peanut meats. $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon powdered sage. $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon thyme. 1 teaspoon milk. 1 teaspoon salt. $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon pepper. $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon soda. 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion. The bread crumbs may be made from left-over corn, barley or other quick breads. Cook the onion in the fat until tender but not brown. Mix all the other dry ingredients thoroughly with the bread crumbs. Blend peanut butter and onion with the cheese and mix with them the bread crumbs. Form into flat cakes, dust with bread crumbs or cornmeal and fry in a little fat until a delicate brown. Variations: To utilize left-over cereals, use one cup of cooked rice, oatmeal or cornmeal mush-with 3-4 cup of bread crumbs. Dry cornmeal or finely ground oatmeal may be used for stiffening the above mixture, but in such case it is better to form into a loaf and bake it in the oven about 25 minutes. Other seasonings may be used in place of the above. The amount of liquid will vary in every case. The mixture should be very stiff, since the cheese tends to soften it during cooking.

MAKE YOUR BOND PAYMENTS Do not fail to complete your Liberty Bond payments is the appeal of Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan headquarters. Following is the secretary's appeal: "Many employers throughout the country have rendered most patriotic in great numbers, if the doors shall again be opened to their admission. Here, plainly, arises a problem; but it is less difficult of solution than the problem likely to arise from the flocking of German immigrants into Mexico and Central and South American countries. At the worst, the German immigrant in the United States can be kept under surveillance; at the best, it he seeks a foothold in the Western Hemisphere with motives such as those which have prompted great numbers of his compatriots in the past, he will be dangerous in any part of the American continents. Aside from his conspiracies in the United States, his plots and machinations throughout the southern Americas have been disturbing factors in American and in world affairs during the war. He was trusted in the past and proved untrustworthy. Will he be more deserving of trust in the future? Who can tell? And herein lies the question. It is a question that cannot be avoided, nor can a decision upon it be long postponed. Germanization has now been defeated in North and South America, as well as in other parts of the world. But will it remain defeated? Should it, with free-handed generosity, be given the privilege of reviving? FODD AND FARMING Cattle and sheep in Scotland remained practically unchanged in number last June in comparison with June, 1917, according to the agricultural returns, but swine declined 4 per cent on account of diminished feeding stuffs.

McAdoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Reserve District Liberty Loan headquarters. Following is the secretary's appeal: "Many employers throughout the country have rendered most patriotic assistance in the distribution of Liberty Loan bonds to their employees and have assisted them in the purchase of these bonds by arranging that payments may be made in installments covering a period of time longer than that which could be granted by the treasury department. "It is the duty of the subscribers to bonds on these partial-payment plans to complete the contract into which they have entered. If they do not do so, both they and the government suffer, as the bonds for which they have contracted and for which they do not pay in full must usually be sold in the open market. "It is, of course, recognized that in case of necessity caused by sickness or other unavoidable circumstances, cancellations of subscriptions or sales of bonds are warranted. In cases where employees have made arrangements to purchase these bonds on installment plans and then sever their connection with the employer with whom they have made subscriptions, arrangements should be made for the completion of the subscription or for having the subscription taken over by the new employer or by a bank in the community where the subscriber resides, thus avoiding the necessity for sale of the bonds covered by the subscription." "THE TOWN REVIEW" By the Feller on the Outside. An Anaheimer who, apparently, is somewhat peeved because he has been overlooked by the Review, dropped in to poetry the other day in order to relieve his feelings. He hands us the following as the result of his labor: I don't 'spose you cared much about it, But it sure has been worryin' me Who in the dickens the smart guy is That's been copyin' K. C. B. He hits at the mayor and jumps on the cops, Then he bawls out the council a few, Then writes up P. V. H. and the "Liberty Blonde." And calls it the "Town in Review." O' the war it was Hell and the Flu was quite Bad, And "Der Kiser" has been a provocer, But watch out for the mire when you stir up the ire Of that old L. A. street journal's joker. We wot not the place when he came from, Nor jest where he'll go when he dies, But between me and you when he writes the Review It peers like he's partial to "I's." O, he's funny and things that you never would guess Flow from his pen free as water, He writes up his wife and the whole family tree, Then concludes with a toast to his daughter. There's him and a "buddy" and Erny, And maybe a couple o' more, But us guys he leaves out are commencin' to pout And before long we'll be pretty sore. TIME TO BEAT IT And now comes an 11-year-old poetess with a whack at the kaiser and the erstwhile crown prince. She is little Miss Lois Mohler of Wilmington and she has entitled her poem "Wandering Willie." It reads: Said the Crown Prince to the Kaiser, In their palace on the Rhine, "Vy, papa, how you hurry, Iss you going out to dine?" "No," the Kaiser answered, "I fear my time has come, I think I've played my little game, And finished mit my fun." "I've packed up all our clothing, Now ve had better go And when ve vonce git started Ve von't go very slow." "There's men here dressed in khaki Dat say dat they are Yanks. Dere capturing all my men Along mit guns and tanks." "Dey say dere going to git me And dere coming right away, So I tink ve'd better beat it, Ve had best be on our way." "I tink ve go to Holland, And stop vonce mit the Dutch, I just come mit von conclusion, Dot your papa is not much." OUR WHEAT SURPLUS Under normal conditions the per capita consumption of wheat in the United States is about 5.3 bushels for food. During the past year the consumption has been 10 to 20 per cent below normal. If a reduction of 10 per cent below normal is adopted for the consumption of 1918-19, and allowance be amde for seed, a national surplus of 318,000,000 bushels of wheat is the result of the estimated crop and its make milk save the skim milk for mea.

ANOTHER MOVE FOR MORE POULTRY All the district agents of the United States Department of Agriculture who are engaged in emergency poultry work met with the members of the Washington administrative force at Kansas City, October 28-30, to take a census of recent results and to launch another campaign for the efficient production of an abundance of poultry and eggs. Practically all the Southern Mississippi Valley and Middle Western States have effected satisfactory increases in their production of poultry products. The emergency agents are now waging a successful campaign against the unprofitable hens by getting owners to cull such fowls from their flocks. Hens which produce less than 75 eggs a year are better dead than alive while fowls which yield from 75 to 100 eggs annually are only fair producers. Good layers produce 125 eggs and upwards every 12 months. In some flocks of 200 hens, 75 of the low-producing fowls have been eliminated and still the normal production has been maintained. This results from more favorable conditions and surroundings for the hens left in the flock which are not so crowded and which are not so crowded and OUR WHEAT SURPLUS Under normal conditions the per capita consumption of wheat in the United States is about 5.3 bushels for food. During the past year the consumption has been 10 to 20 per cent below normal. If a reduction of 10 per cent below normal is adopted for the consumption of 1918-19, and allowance be amde for seed, a national surplus of 318,000,000 bushels of wheat is the result of the estimated crop and its domestic requirements. Not only is the supply of wheat for the coming season much larger than it was last season, but it is more concentrated in the large surplus states. As estimated by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, North Dakota, with 84,000,000 bushels of wheat above the consumption of its people and seed for next year, is the State with the largest surplus for this consumption year. Next is South Dakota, with 72,000,000 bushels; and then follow Kansas, with 70,500,000 bushels; Minnesota, with 64,000,000 bushels; Indiana, with 36,000,000 bushels; Nebraska and Missouri, each with 29,000,000 bushels; and Montana, with 19,000,000 bushels. New York is by far the chief deficiency state in wheat production. For the current year dependence must be placed on an external supply of 44,000,000 bushels, or 84 per cent of the total requirements. Pennsylvania's similar dependence is 24,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent; in Massachusetts, 17,000,000 bushels, or 100 per cent; in Texas, 16,000,000 bushels, or 64 per cent; in New Jersey, 12,000,000 bushels, or 89 per cent; and in California once a great wheat-surplus state, 10,000,000 bushels, or 62 per cent of the total requirements. Every one of the states in the North Central group west of the Mississippi River is a wheat-surplus state, and the total surplus of the group is 356,000,000 bushels of wheat, or 38,000,000 bushels more than the national surplus. In other words, the United States outside of the West North Central states does not produce as much wheat as it requires. For the current consumption year the East North Central states have a wheat surplus of 54,500,000 bushels, and the Rocky Mountain and Pacific states a surplus of 58,000,000 bushels. On the other hand, the chief deficiency group of states is the North Atlantic, since these states fail to produce the wheat that they require by 112,200,000 bushels. The South's wheat production is 37,450,000 bushels below require- The Gazette $1.50 Per Year
