THE HOHENZOLLERNS MUST GO P KKSIDFXT WJLNOX li;is made it fairly dear that America dues not consider pence possible in a world in which the Uohenzollern dynasty is allowed to rule. And the United Slates, as one of the most powerful of the allies, should see to it that this battle cry is adopted by all the nations now at war with (lermaiiy. Only by bringing' this fact home to the itmsst-s of the German people can democracy In; given its chance in Germany itself. The iiohenzollcrns and their dvnastie ambitions have been the curse not only of the docile German people, but of I the whole world as well. The history of how the lLohen- zollerns raised themselves from a minor baronial family to an imperial dynasty claiming divine right, arid of how Prussia was made the menace that she is, constitutes one long story of war and theft and rapine. Jt began back in the eighteenth century, when Wil li elm's much-belauded ancestor, Frederick the Great, as sisted in the partition of the independent kingdom of Pol and, taking a liberal slice for himself. And every Prussian war since that time has netted the Hohenzollerns some thing of power or pelf. What could the civilized nations expect of Germany in relalions with little Belgium, when they remembered what Prussia had done to little Denmark back in the 'liOs?' The dynasty that ruthlessly robbed Denmark of her choicest provinces of Kchleswig-TIolstcin and thus made possible the building of the Kiel canal, largely for German naval pui-poscs, is the same one that treated a Belgian treaty as a mere scrap of paper. The counts in the indictment against the Hohenzol lerns are many; against Wilhelm .11 they are innumer able. There can be laid at his door the sin of causing a whole world to be drenched in blood and tears. To him blinded men owe their sightless eyes, mangled men their shattered limbs, widows and orphans their mourning, lie has caused all civilization to pause in its forward swing, and reel backwards into the barbarism of war and its attendant horrors. lie has forever stained his name with the violation of Belgium, with the destruction of its quiet, old, dreamy cities, with Hie exile and deportation of its people. The starving' Belgians, the hungering Polish Ghristians and .Jews, the children of Armenians massacred to make a Mo hammedan holiday all curse his name. There is hardly a spot in the-world where his existence has not been felt, and, since 1014, for evil. No other creature in the world's history has been responsible for so much woe, so much destruction of life and property, of happiness and well being. Tli is fantast with brain warped by lust for power, this neurotic, this blasphemer with his wicked pratings about the favor of the God of Divine Love for his accursed fam ily, must go, he and all his brood. Only when they have been toppled from the high places of power and command, only when the German people are allowed to rule themselves, only when dynastic" preten sions and ambitions are cast into the garbage barrel of things that were, will it be possible to have anything like peace in this world. Only then can the democratic nations of the world, of which the United States is most represen tative, seriously begin to talk of universal disarmament, so that the lime and the talents and the money now de voted to the wicked arts of war may be used for the uplift of man and the greater glory of God.

"We must supply ships by the hundreds. "The industrial forces of the country men and women alike, will be a great service army engaged in the service of the nation and world, the efficient friends of and saviors of free men everywhere. "The importance of an adequate food supply especially for Ihe present year is superlative. "Upon the fanners of this country, in large meas ure, rest's the fate of the war and the fate of the nations. "I call upon young men and old alike to turn in hosts to the farms. "I appeal to farmers of. the, south to plant abund ant foodstuffs as well as cotton. "To the middleman of every sort: The eyes of the country will be especially upon you. The country expects you as well as all others to forego unusual profits. "This is the time for America to correct her un pardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. "These things we must do and do well, besides fighting, the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless." RUHAL CREDIT -BOND IMEXIGANS liVIPROVE BiDS AREHCTED SALEM, Or., April 17.

Legis lation to cm; ov.cr l lie council of na tional defen-e tc supervise the distri bution of food and if necessary fix maximum and minimum prices, was being framed today as one of the re sults of yestorduy's conference be tween the great Chicago meat puck ers and Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture. Headed by J. Ogden Armour, a delegation of the foremost packers, including Edwin Morris, E. A. Cud ahy, Thos. E. Wilson, and L. P. Swift, assured Secretary Houston of their utmost cooperation and volun tarily proposed that the government take steps to fix prices through the council of national defense. The licensing of food distributing agencies so tho government may trace any movemtnts of middlemen or others to monopolize supply or force raises in price is one of the features of the plan tha packers proposed. As their own "bit" In defending the nation, the pac.kers offered a plan to distribute their products at a min imum of profit to themselves and one of them estimated the saving to the public would approximate at least S 100,000,000 a year. Secretary Houston favors the plan and will' have a part in drafting legislation to put It into effect. The power to be invested in the council of national defense, it is said, would bo used only when the national in terest required It. Whenever there was evidence of prleo fixing or mo nopoly of supply the council would fix maximum and minimum prices to check it. WASHINGTON-, April 17.
