PRO-GERMANS APPROVE
It would not be true to say that all who approve of
the holding of such meetings as arc held bv manv of
A WAR OF PEOPLE
It hu been said that this is a war of science, and
the statement contains truth. It has been described as
a chemists' war. and an engineers' war, and a financiers'
war. and a war of food, and of shipping, and a war of
air power. There is scarcely an important line of hu
man activity which has not at one time or another been
described as the dominant thing in the war. All these
statements contain truth. But not one of them is the
•whole truth. This war in a measure heretofore un
known, is a war of people. It is a war in which every
human energy must be directed to a single end. It in
volves not alone armies, but entire populations, and ev
ery influence which tends to divide a people tends to
impair the efficiency of that people in the war.
A LEAGUE OF NATIONS NOW
thC r,oUtical
.fefter
It is generally accepted among the democratic na
tions that there shall be a league of nations after the
war ,and that that league be based on the principles
•which have been set forth in many able state papers,
notably in the addresses of President Wilson and Pre
mier Lloyd George. It is accepted that the league will
include all the civilized nations which Will pledge them
selves in good faith, and and in a binding manner, to
cultivate the ideals of peace and democracy, and which
will insist that all international disputes shall be settled
in such a manner that the world shall never again be
plunged into war. There is a question as to wnetner! .,
nis community
or not Germany shall bo admitted to that league. But
the answer to that question depends on thp Germans!
themselves. If the German people fail so to organize
their government that it shall be responsive to their
:Will, if thcy remain content with the autocratic system
:which thcy have. or. failing to be content, if thcy nog

right of men to govern themselves, then Germany must!
remain an outlaw nation, with the world perpetually on
guard against her. But if the German people do insist
on a government which will truly represent them, and

WHAT THE SMALL MERCHANT FACES.
Assuming that the plan of the Consumers' United
Stores Company is exactly what it has been represented
to its subscribers to be, a genuine plan for supplying to
the farmer the goods which he needs in his business,
and a system which is to endure and to become a per
manent part of the economic life of the state, instead of
a plan cunningly devised to enable shrewd organizers to

the rest of the
he has had his good years,
and his very lean ones. When disaster in the shape of
flood or drouth or hail has struck his farmer customers
it is to the local merchant that has come the first appeal
for aid in order that the year's credit, which has been
the rule in so many localities, might be extended to two
years and that families might not go hungry or un
clothed. In order to meet these appeals he has been
obliged to draw on his own little capital, if he had any,!
and to apply for an extension of his own credit so that
the sources of supply might not be closed.
His ability to meet these demands upon him has
always been more a matter of character than of capital.
In many cases where local disaster has befallen, the local
merchant has gone to his own creditors and stated the
whole case, that such capital as he has is already tied
up in bills owing to him by his customers that these
bills can be collected only at the price of impoverishing
scores of families that these families have been placed
in a position, through no fault of their own, where they
must toe carried until another harvest or go at once to
the wall and what has been the answer? In many
cases it has been this: "We understand the conditions
wc know that you are doing your best we trust intplicit
ly in your judgment go home and we will see you
through, not because of any capital that you may have,
but because we know you to be a square man." in justf
this way the character of the local merchant has carried
over many a rough place.
The new order of things, if carried out as represent
ed to subscribers, as a real merchandising enterprise in
stead of a gigantic graft, eliminates the local merchant.
No other result is possible. Therefore, everything tnat
the local merchant has accomplished for his community
goes by the board unless provision is made for it in some
other direction.
It may be worth while for the farmers to whom
propositions to abet this enterprise are made to consider
whether or not it is to their interest to remove the local
merchant as a factor in their community, it may be
worth while for the local merchant himself to consider
what this movement means to him and to the business

long. The statement by the head of .the firm says that
on its business in meat and meat products there was
made, a net profit of 2.21 per cent.
The manner in which these profits vary when com
puted on different bases shows that a statement of profit
on stock is not always a safe thing to use as measure of
reasonableness of the profits made by any company, big
or little. For ifttance, it is conceivable that a burinett

one-tentX as great, or that even a million dollars of capi

per cent, instead of 21 per cent, as in
the present case.
And yet, on the same volume of
business, with the same general re
sults. the net earnings would remain
just as they are. The risk of loss
would be the same. There would be
the same need for skillful manage
ment in order that the slender mar
gin of profit on business transacted,
of 2 or 3 or 4 per cent, might not,
by a little carelessness here and a
little extravagance there, be changed
into a net loss of an equal percentage,

Second—Watch stock carefully. Cover all requirements at one time.
This will materially reduce the number of shipments to be handled.
Third—Call at freight house at once when notified of arrival of
goods.
Fourth—Goods received in damaged condition should be receipted
for as such and claim filed at once.
Fifth—Unpack immediately to detect concealed breakage, pilferage
or damage. If found, file claim at once.
Sixth—Make a practice of testing the weight of shipments received.
Billing clerks make errors: besides, another way to detect pilferage is
by comparing actual weight with shipping receipt.
Seventh—Unload U1 cars promptly as soon as placed and notify
road at once when empty.
Eighth—Use only the strongest containers and mark them plainly.
See that the B-L shows same destination and consignee as packages.
Ninth—See that shipments arc delivered to ihe railroad early.
Tenth—Start loading at once, when notified car is placed.

In addition to the articles which,ac

fresh discussions of future relations'
between Germany and Japan.

regarded as an expert pn the far east,
contributes a contemptuous article
about the Japanese to the Taegliche

deal of insolent abuse. Herr Irmer in
dicates that Germany may be willing
to consider any suitable proposals
from Japan, if they arc made with
sufficient humility. He writes:
"The news of the Russian catastro

WILL YOU HELP
The following practical suggestions for shippers and consignees arc
issued in a neat leaflet by thc Beach-Nut Packing company of Canajo
harie. N. Y.:
Just as the mighty ocean is but an aggregate of millions of drops
of water, so the present freight congestion is in a great measure due to
thoughtlessness on the part of the consignor and consignee. In the
past the leeway between the maximum carrying capacity of the rail
roads and the actual tonnage has been, sufficient to take care of this,
but not so today The railroads are taxed to their utmost to move the
present tonnage. We must help by eliminating wasteful methods of
shipping and by calling on the roads for not one unnecessary move.
AVe believe that if we will all folipw the suggestions given below
this serious condition will be greatly relieved:
First—Give the railroads extra time for transportation by anticipat
ing our wants.
