There ara probably two essential
purposes In the German occupation of
the Black sea port First, It must be
held in order to obtain the stores of
grain out of the Ukraine. It is prln
clpal port of that vast region, which
raises every year nearly 600,000,000
bushels of wheat- From Odessa,
way of the Danube, the water route to
Buda and Vienna la not difficult The
rail routes also will be repaired with
the completion of German occupancy.
However, there Is much reason to
believe that there Is not much surplus
grain In the Ukraine. Tha farmers
have not been growlng .lt They will
hold what they have grown until they
can buy shoes and clothing, and these
h central oowers can not furnish. They
keep the grain in little stacks and
barns. There are no Dig wareiiuu

What route could the Germans take

LUMBcR FOR WOODEN SHIP8.
It was the Pally Marine Rec
ord which charged that the Southern
Pine association had utterly fallen
down on their contracts with the gov,
eminent for ship timber. The News
commented on the fact and as a
southern newspaper deplored a con
dition which did not seem to reflect
credit on this section. The south had
made a great effort to Induce the
government to build wooden ships
and it was hoped that the construe
tlon would be successfully pushed. A
Chattanooga lumberman has taken up
the cudgels for the southern lumber
men. We trust that he is Justified in
so doing. The articles In the Marine
Record carried considerable weight,
owing to the fact that the Record bad
taken a position antagonists to . Ad
miral Bowles. It was a natural con
elusion that a paper that had cham
ploned wooden ships as strongly
did the Marine Record, would not
print a criticism reflecting on the
southern wooden ships unless the
facts fully warranted its doing so,
Within the last week the same paper
has carried a number of articles stat
ing that the yellow pine producers
had flooded the shipyards with small
timbers covered In the specifications,
but had utterly failed to furnish the
large timbers and that the govern
ment in order to meet the require
ments had placed, its own men In the
forest to spot cut and deliver the
large Umbers.
The Associated Press yesterday car
rlod a statement to the effect that the
government would commandeer the
timber.
This matter of large timber failure
was called to our attention by a lead

that he himself had taken up the mat

weak as to Indicate the charges "were

BY INCREA8ED EFFICIENCY.
Easily the most Important domestic
problem which confronts this country
In the successful prosecution of the
war is that of producing food for the
people. The situation Is a very serious
one and every expedient Is being de
vised to meet its requirements. The
following suggestions urging Intensi
fied methods for the farmer are offered
by the Progressive Farmer:
"Farm labor la scarce and high-
priced of this there can be no ques
tlon. Furthermore, the shortage prom
ises to become more serious before
there is any Improvement With such
a situation facing us, there are at least
two things every farmer should do to
maintain production:
"L Make each acre do Its best We
must fertilize heavier than ever be
forecommercial fertilizers, farm ma,
nures, leaves, straw and woods mold
must be used liberally. With crops at
two and three times pre-war prices,
we can afford to double and even
treble our outlay for plant foods. Don't
let seeming high prices deter you, for
relatively, fertilizer prices are lower
than before the war. Make each acre
dp its utmost by liberal fertilization.
'2. Each worker must increase his
efficiency.. No person has worked so
hard or so effectively but what he may
work Just a -little harder, Just a little
more effectively. Tenants, share crop
pers, wage hands, the farm boys all
should be given every Inducement to
do their utmost. Make of there part'
ners, Insofar as possible, fixing their
reward! In proportion to the results of
their labors. Try also a bonus plan
for getting increased effort
"By the two means suggested, we
believe the labor shortage may in large
measure be offset Certainly they are
worthy of careful consideration."
The responsibility of the farmer is
a heavy one in the present emergency
and the country Is minded to aid him
in every' way possible to shoulder it.
The question of producing a surplus
of food crops to spare to England and
France was a pressing one before this
country went into the war. But -now
the strain Is greatly increased by the
withdrawal of a considerable portion
of the labor supply which was avail
able. This has to be made up In some
way, or a large portion of the world
will go hungry. Greater effort sup
plemented by mechanical devices must
make good the deficiency in man
power. i
Not only must every arable spot of
ground be cultivated, but wherever
practicable, more than one crop should
be planted on the same ground. This
can be dons In nearly all parts of the
south. The flower plot should be
planted to potatoes or other garden
food vegetables, and the utilitarian
bean vine may be niftde to take tho
place, for the time, of the morning
glory and other ornamental climbers.
Armies cannot fight without food,
neither can folks at home go long
without something to eat And food
will not grow without the expenditure
of much labor In cultivation. See if
there isn't some way In which you can
help the movement along.
THE MOONEY CASE.
The New York Evening Post
newspaper which is edited with great
ability and sanity, prints the follow
ing brief review of a case, the record
of which has gone all Over the world
and has reacted, notably In Russia, to
the decldod discredit of this coun
try:,
The case of Thomas J. Mooney,
convicted In Han Francisco almont
two years ago of murder, calls for the
exorcise of executive clemency, or
possibly special legislation permit.
ting him a new trial. He was ad
judged guilty upon what has since
been discovered to be tainted evi
dence. On the same charge, setting
off a bomb which killed several peo
plo, his wifo was ' subsequently ac
quitted: the trial Judge, diHtrict attor
ney, and a federal commission have
all expressed their belief that per
Jured testimony brought about Moon
ey s conviction. And now when every
body admits that a great wrong has
been done, the supreme court of Call
fornla, on appeal, decides that, In spite
or the admitted facts, its hands are
tied by the res adjudlcnta. Should
this decision, no doubt technically cor
rect, be allowed to stand, not only
would Mooney fall victim to an out
rageous mlscnrrlnge of Justice, but the
great masa of the people throughout
th country would fool that our Ju
dlclal system had suffered a serious
breakdown."
The trial and conviction of Mooney
was in accord with the forms of law,
out in substanco it very much re
sembles an instance of mob law. His
accusation and arrest occurred in the
midst, of a great outburst of popular
feeling, and the finding of- him guilty
was apparently tho culmination of an
Insistent demand for a victim, a gont
so to speak. Now because'lie stands
formally convicted, the courts impo
tently declare their helplessness,
though admitting that his trial was
saturated with perjury.
The president of the United States
has Intimated to the governor of
California that he believes executive
Intervention in this cas 3 is Justified,
even demanded, but it is not known
what will be done. It seems almost
Inconceivable, however, that the gov
ernor will permit Mooney's execution
without at leaaf an opportunity for
trial with' the perjured testimony
eliminated.
Unless something of this kind la
done, it would seem that our profes
sions of horror over outbreaks of mob
law are of little avail. For there Is
only a distinction, without a material
difference, between a trial, conviction
and execution by Judge I-nch and the
extortion of a similar proceeding from
court of law.

"Look at my brother-in-law," said

"Well, you know It's a poor family that
