In an address "here (Kin afternoon for
it he benefit of the Bed Cross, said that
we were jjoInT-to-Tiave at least three
years moreiof.war. and that he was
"siad that a3aslr.AmerICji aeemed to
"be; waking: up,to.ber work.
"At Verdunjj'he said. "France had
her national try. They shall not
pass." and I think we shall see Its
counterpart soon in America. They
shall not win.' -
He laid stress on the contention that
Germany" was cominj to America to
treat her as she. did Belgium, If she
could. In order to' make uk pay the
J, Mil for the .war, .He said that von
Tirpltz said to him when he was leav
ing" Germany:
"Our submarine warfare Is going to
4brlng: Great Britain to ber knres, and
when we have her here she has to
spay us our price, that price will be
the English navy, and with It and our
nary we will come to the United
' States aird" grt what -wer Want'"5
The possibility of Germany drafting
truen from the Baltic. provinces and
'from that territory that we used to
call Russia was referred to by Mr.
Gerard.

Sderal control of the American
ing industry is looming as a
probability.
The comraislson named by President
Wilson to Initiate a national meat
policy will get down to business at
once. Jt comprises Secretary of Agri
culture David F. Houston. Chairman
Secretary of Labor William B. Wil
liam J. Harris, Chairman of the
United Tariff Board F. W. Taussig.
Secretary of aLbor William B. Wil
son, and Federal Food Administrator
Herbert CV Hoover.
The commission, named by the Pres
ident at the request of Mr. Hoover,
will formulate a policy which will
give the Government control of' meat
distribution and prices. In his letter
to the President, Hoover, declared the
existing situation Is Intolerable. It
brings about criticism from the con
sumer and the producer and.aids profit
eering. Tne plan which Is suggested
would permit a price fixing policy
which would Tie "along the lines now
followed In the steel and copper in
dustries. However, officials who are In close
touch with the situation Insisted to
day that the present price fixing plan
cannot be followed in the meat in
dustry. They say that at least par
tial Government control will be nec
essary. And some of the men 'who
are investigating the subject are be
lieved here to be already .nearly con
vinced tnat oniy government control
will solve this problem.
It was believed here that a report
on the subject would be ready for
presentation to the President by the
end of this month. The commission
is to get to work on the inquiry im
mediately and It wlll be speeded up
in every way.

The Peril In Peace
In fighting the devil with fire we must take care not to burn our hands, or, as oor fighting
men would say, "Be very careful when you use pbison-gas, and look out for a shift of wind
-.which -.may blow itbackTinto your own trenches." This is.virtually the answengiven by-a..
notable array of leaders in America and Britain and France to those who advocate a peace offensive
to accompany our military offensive; or think we should imitate Germany in stirring up discon
tent among enemy peoples; or believe with Lord Lansdowne that some sort of negotiation with
the enemy is possible; or hold with some of our pacifists that the war may be honorably ended
without the complete and crushing defeat of German military power. The only way to. dear
with the "bandit" nation is "by overwhelmingly superior force,", declares the Atlanta Journal;..
while the Portland Oregonii, emphasizing the lesson taught by Russia, says "that in a world
which holds an undefeated Germany there can be no peace."
