talned by the government, the cor
poration to pay a fixed charge for
the use of water. )
Thus has been brought about the
first instance of a group of New York
capitalists providing funds for ex
tensive farming operations in the
West.
J. P. Morgan. Interrogated in be
half of the New York Journal or
Commerce, thus explains his view of
the matter:
"Of course we are in hopes that
the enterprise will not prove a losing
one. We know little or nothing here
In the East about practical farming
on a large scale, but we believe that
Mr. Campbell will probably be able
to overcome the natural handicaps
of weather conditions, scarcity of
labor, material, etc.. and will be
able to make the enterprise ulti
mately profitable. .Tbe determining
factor, however. In our final decision
to go into this proposition was the
desire to lend our aid and co-operation
with Secretary Lane in this war
measure of increasing tbe supply of
wheat by cultivating on a substantial
scale lands which might otherwise
not be used."
CHKKR AX ESSENTIAL FACTOR.
; Germany -will today celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the
present Kaiser's accession to the throne.
Araone the intellectuals of Germany, it will not be a jubilant cele
bration, though they will no doubt keep up a show of festivity, for
its morale effect upon the war-worn people. s
; The news from the western front is anything but encouraging to
the thinking people of Germany excepting to those of them who
long for the overthrow of the Ilohenzpllerns or for their autofratic
power to be taken away from them and placed in the hands of the
whole people. r .
And there are many such, even in Germany. 1
It was on this date, in 1888, that the "war lord" started on his
career as an imperial ruler, following the death of his father, Fred
crick III, whose reign had commenced but a few months before, at
the death, of William I,! grandfather of the present ruler, and foun
der of the present German empire. i, -
The present Kaiser will live in history as the last exponent of the
divine right of kings.
His name will be detested throughout coming times as the exponent
of the doctrine of schrecklichkeit, or f rightfulness in war; as the
last of earth's rulers to outschrecklich the f rightfulness of Attila, the
King of the liuns.
the need may be, whatever the sac
rifice. In the bright lexicon of de
mocracy fighting for Its rights there
must be no such word as gloom.
The nearer the menace comes to
us at home the deeper the purpole
of ' resistance, and the larger the
measure of cheer.
As light triumphs over darkness,
cheer dispels gloom.
If any among us have been indif
ferent to the stern appeal of the
tlire, the appearance of enemy sub
marines in our waters must suffice
for their arousement. This peril of
democracy Is the grimmest thing In
history, but those who bring It can
not prevail against us.
Cheer Tor the cause, cheer for
those who defend It on sea and land,
resolution unquenchable and full as
surance of victory this will be the
answer to rightfulness, wherever it
Is directed against that freedom we
are coming to understand as the
fathers knew and valued it.
In 1878, in the course of one of the most remarkable addresses ever
delivered, Victor Hugo Said in Paris:
"The peoples begin to comprehend that increasing the magni
tude of a, crime cannot be its diminution ; that, if to kill is a
crime, to kill much cannot be an extenuating circumstance ; that,
, if to steal is a shame, to invade cannot be a glory; that Te Deums
do not count for much in this matter; that homicide is homicide;
that bloodshed is bloodshed; that it serves nothing to call one's
self Caesar or Napoleon ; and that in the eyes of the eternal God,
the figure of a murderer is not changed because, instead of a
gallows-cap, there is placed upon his head an emperor's erown."
Those words were spoken by the great author jn the richness of his
years a decade before the present Kaiser came to the throne.
The world, outside of Germany, had been thinking of peace for
forty years, before 1914. But Germany and the present throned
assassin of that empire had been thinking of war, and preparing for
war, uu, uuuer me careiui training oi tne throned assassin, the peo
pie of that nation had been looking forward to world pmnirc
There must be a return, after the present conflict, to the ideals of
peace and civilization, and in this light history is bound to write the
name of the present Kaiser among the most detestable in the annals
oi time. -

The absence of wheat as food If

be such a hardship, remembering

a fight with none. For periods of
four or five years at a stretch no
wheat was known to tbe people of

Secretary Lane of the Interior de
partment, impressed with tbe desira
bility as a war measure of providing
for wheat growing on the Indian res
ervations "in Montana and Wyoming,
sought to start something, and has
been able to do so. The from 150,
000 to 200.000 acres of choice lann
which he hoped to have broken are
on the Crow, the Blackfeet and the
Fort Peck reservations in Montana,
and the Shoshone reservation In Wy
oming. Secretary Lane called In
Thomas Bv Campbell of Grand Forks.
N D., and suggested that he take
hold and get men of financial
strength to undertake that which it
was Impossible for the Indian to do.
Mr. Campbell has been able to ac
complish. In a striking way. the task
entrusted to him. He has become

poration, with a capiUl of $2,000.

Matters take bold upon us as we
get real understanding of them. W
must be awakened before we can
know. The best way to learn about
a situation is to go where It is de
veloping. W then come to "under
stand . the factors entering Into it,
bad and good, and can Judge of what
things are calculated to operate to
the best advantage. The question
how we can most directly help the
men who are enduring tbe strain
and agony of war very much con
cerns this country. Every day's cas
ualty list makes our desire to help
more eager.
Two men lately from the front
have brought answers which, though
differently expressed, coincide. John
Maserield, the popular English poet,
la talking in our training camps as
representative of the British pic
torlal commission. As one of the
official historians of the war for
Great Britain. Mr. Masefield has been
viewing the battle front at close
range. He joys in speaaing a warm
word for the Red Triangle, which he
found to be "one of the grandest
products of the war." What espe
clal service does It carry where the
need is?
"Morale Is as important to the
armies as is heavy artillery, and it
Is the work of the Red Triangle sec
retaries that is making the life of
the soldiers in the trenches agreeable
and sustaining their spirits and
cheerfulness, the very soul of what
Is "called morale.
Herbert L. Pratt of Brooklyn has
come back from the fighting lines In
France, where he has been In the
Interests of the Young Men's Chris
tian Association. He, too, finds that j
cheer is the thing that counts. It
serves to lift soldiers grown despond
ent or highly nervous out of them
selves and gives them a new grip on
life. Such relief is essential -when
men face imminent danger and must
endure long hours of vigil, bursting
shells, hunger, heat, cold and fa
tigue. Mr. Pratt wants the Ameri
can people to send cheer and . not
gloom to their soldiers. No letter
calculated to discourage any man
should go across the ocean. Amuse
ments are very important back of the
lines, and Mr. Pratt laments that a
$30,000 shipment of baseball sup
plies went down in a torpedoed ship.
Here Is a new count against the
enemy of this country, and one that
will not soon be forgotten.
The Red Triangle is giving cheer,
but the opportunities which it af
fords need to be extended, and will
be. Where huts are destroyed and
facilities for service Interfered with,
this country will replace them aa fast
as money can do It.
German devastation and despera
tion will be met with cheer and yet
more cheer, steadily, and as long as
A GUIDE WORTH HIS PRICE.
Once upon a time, so runs a story
told by himself, according to a cur
rent newspaper Item, Andrew Car
negie wished to cross a mountain in
Pennsylvania but lacked a guide.
A grocer's errand boy. a hefty.
solid looking chap, was recommend
ed to him as pilot, and the future
Ironmaster found the lad ready and
wlllinz to undertake the Job for a
dollar.
Carnegie offered fifty cents, but
the boy was obdurate, and at length
his terms were accepted, "not, aa
the Scott cannily argued, "because
the Job Is worth more than fifty
cents, but because I must get to the
other side of that mountain, and you
seem to be the only one to take me
there."
"Ill get you there, all Tight, re
Joined the urchin; "and if it'a worth
anything at all to you, it ought to
be worth a dollar to me.
The boy waa CbarHf M. Schwab;
and the anecdote suggests that Just
at the present moment the United
States In particular, and the allied
world In general, must get to the
other side of the shipping mountain
by tbe shortest and surest and the
quickest route', and that this same
Charles Schwab Is the lad to guide
them across. Only, in the present
instance there Is no haggling about
the price of the service.

The Story of ;a Honeymoon
A Wonderful Romance of Married Life Wonderfully Told by ADELE GARRISON
A WAY OPENED
I. spent a dreary forenoon wash
ing the dishes and putting the apart
ment to rights. I dreaded -the dis
cussion with Dicky at luncheon. I
had insisted before my marriage
that I must either do most of the
housework, or keep up some of my
old work, to add to our income. To
have a maid, while I did nothing to
Justify my existence save keep my
self pretty and entertain picky, sav
ored too much to me of the harem
favorite. A mother of small child
ren, a woman with a large house, one
who had old people to care for. or
whose health waa not good, was
Justified in having help. But for me.
well, strong, with a tiny apartment,
ind Just Dicky, to employ a maid
without myself earning at least
enough to pay for the extra expense
)f having her it was simply impos
sible. I had been independent too
long. The situation waa galling.
The postman's ring interrupted
my thoughts. I went to the door, re
ceiving a number of advertisements,
i letter or two for Dicky, and one.
id dressed In an unfamiliar hand
writing, to myself. I opened It and
read It wonderingly.
"My dear Mrs. Graham." it began.
' ""Our club Is planning a course In
history for the coming year. We

Had the solution to my problem
ome! Armed with this I could
talk to Dicky at luncheon without
my fears.
The receipt of the letter put me
'n a royal good humor. I did not
"are how little the compensation was.
1 though I knew that It would be
far more than enough to pay the
extra expense of having a maid, an
xpense which I was determined to
defray.
Teaching or lecturing upon his
torical subjects was child's play to
me. I bad specialised In It. and had
been counted one of the most suc
cessful Instructors In that branch In
the city. Woman's club work was
new to me. but tbe husband of one
of my friends had once conducted
such a course, and I knew I could get
all the information I needed from
him.
THE SCENE LAID
I thought of Dicky's possible' ob
jections, but brushed the thought
aside. He bad objected to my go
ing on with my regular school work
and I realized that the hours which
I would have been compelled to give
to that work would have conflicted
seriously with our home life. But
here waa something that would take
me way from Borne so little.
The apartment looked very attrac
tive by this time. I had put it In
perfect order, and In my new en
thusiasm. I slipped on my hat and
coat and walked three blocks to a
little center of shops, where I bought
some flowers as. well as the things
for luncheon.
When I returned I saw that I
would have to hurry to ret luncheon
ready at 1 o'clock. Dicky's time of
getting home, but I was so enthusi
astic over my prospects that I fair
ly flew around the kitchen; and at
the stroke of one my chops were
done to a turn, my potato balls deli
cately browned, and everything else
in readiness.
A LONG WAIT ,
But no Dicky appeared. He had
been most punctual every day of the
week we had been keeping house. I
waited an hour, then took down the
receiver to telephone him when I re
membered that he purposely had no
telephone in his studio for fear of
his attention beinr distracted when
he was busy.
Another hour passed. The chop
were ruined, the potatoes dried. I
decided h was not coming and clear
ed the table. I had Just rinltbed
when the door opened to admit
Dicky.
"Gee! but I'm hungry! -was his
greeting. I hope yon have some
thing good."
"It Isn't good at all bow." I re
turned. -I had it all ready for yon
at 1 o'clock, and now it Is after 3.
Wbat in the world was the matter?"
"Forgot all about everything."
he said laconically. "Cot so Inter-
ested la that cover I didn't know any
thing else, until Just now. when I
realized I waa half starved. VouU
have to get used to that, Madge.
You've married an artist, you know,
and when the mood la on. we work
without any thought of time or food
or even of pretty brides." He pet-
lea my snouider playfully.
"Well, alt down in that chair, and
III do what I can for yon." I prom
ised, 'but I can't give yon anything
Tery good. A luncheon that has been
cooked for two hour isn't exactely a
meal for aa epicure, yon know."
"Don't call names like thai
Madge." Dicky grinned audaciously.
"I'm hungry enough to eat the ta!le-.
cloth." " -
I warmed up the food as best I
could, set the table again and wait
ed until Dicky had fiaished tbe laU
crumb and lighted his Inevitable ci
gar before -I brought out my letter.
