APPLE EXPORTS WASHINGTON, Sopt. 1. -Prospects for opening tho Hrltlsh nyd Scandl- navlun markotB for Oregon apples next winter are steadily Improving as additional (acts are produced before the state department, whore congress man Slnnott, with Representatives of the applo growers, has boon trying to spoed up tho diplomatic machinery, It Is now established that there Is space for tho apples on shlps'depart- lng from Amorlcan ports. TIiIb spaco canont bo used, because of a cumber some system of securing special per mits from llrltisb trade compl rollers. Shippers have found that by tho time tho red tape Is unwound (lie ah lj usually has sailed. Next, It dovolops that nrltlsh deal ers aro calling for Oregon and other northwostorn applos. They nro nnx lous to handlo Ihom, and hnvo recent ly becomo ncllvo In petitioning their trndo authorities to mako It possible for them to receive such shipments. Auothor situation nrbos as to Scan dinavian tin portal ioiiH. When this country was a neulral, (iroat llrltain established tho rules under which Im poiiallons Into thoso countries wore govornod, under penalty of seizure and tho prizo court. That course was Justified as a necessity of protection against supplying tho enemy. Now the United States Is a bclllg oront and tho ally of llrltain. This country hns as much Interest In pre venting supplies going to tho onomy as her ally, and presumably Is Just as capahlo of handling tho questions of exports. An exports omhurgo. was placed Ih tho hands of tho president for that very purposo. Intimations nro now heard thai within a abort time the United Slates will establish Us own rules for o. portullnns to the Si'iiiiillunvlau coun tries, In cn-oporiitloii, of coim-hc, with tho Hrltlsh, but without Interference by her trade authorities. This will make the manner of export and the plan of control under American au thority. CASE AGAINSl GORE On innl inn of ticorge M.

Kelly, who Is reported to have made a confession In connec tion with the Vllllscu, Iowa, nve mur ders, today repudiated the alleged ronfesslon, In a statement to his at torney, Judge A, 1., Sjiltou of Otiiitlia THE LOGICAL CONVENTION PLACE. SOANT sympathy will be felt for the pafi fists who have organized under the imposing name of the "People's Council of America for Democracy mid I'eace" in their ef forts to Nccure it convention hall to organize, their treas onable, pro-(ferman propaganda for impeding the success fid conduct of the war. Barred from Minnesota, ousted from 'Wisconsin, and ordered ejected from Illinois, they are, learning that there is a limit to the patience of long suffering, easy-going American patriots. Chicago has an unpatriotic and pro-German mayor who has repeatedly shown his anti-American sympathies and it was logical to select Chicago for the meeting. But Illi nois has an American for governor, who very properly objects to organized sedition. Under the plea of free speech, these modern copper heads are doing what they can to aid and comfort the en emy. Free speech does not convey tho right to attack and besmirch tho government, and create discord and division ni the nation at a time it in -engaged in a life and death struggle to preserve liberty and democracy and its own independence. This same little hunch of fanatics recently obtained hy fraudulent representations, the use of a senate committee room and under the dome of the capital proceeded to de nounce the military measures adopted for the defense of the republic and demand the impeachment of the presi dent because of the adoption of the military service law. Their acknowledged object is to encourage resistance to the law, create discord thruout the country aiyl thereby hamper the conduct of the war. We have the word of the American mission to Eussiii as to the effect of their conduct abroad. Their treasonable utterances are circulated by thousands of German spies to make the Russians believe that America -is not in earn est in the conduct of the M ar and the effect is shown in the destruction of the morale of the Russian army and its col lapse, thereby endangering not only democrat?' in Russia, but in the United States as well. Their service to the kais er does aiot count for much in America, but is invaluable abroad. There should be no place in patriotic America for the organization of treason. The convention of those fighting the -kaiser 's battle in America should be held in the only logical place the federal penitentiary. , Views of One German-American How one (Icrmiin-Aincricnii he pells (Ionium wilh u little gaud Am erican with a capital A feels about (ermany is shown in flic following letter to the editor of the Sioux City (Iowa) Journal: "I have seen several articles in the Journal about Germans trying; to raise strife in Ibis country.

Pros pects of all early and radical reduc tion In bread prices apparently vnn Ished today when Herbert Hoover, tho food administrator, announced that tho best tho public may expect la n ni-cnuuo loaf for 10 cents, or possibly S cents. Tho .S-cent loaf of It! ounces Is possible, Mr. Hoover said, only If bak ers, retailers and consumers unite to eliminate wasteful distribution nieth- uls and so operate to obtain a slnnd- ardized loaf. The price of family flour, Mr. Hoo ver said, should bo reduced at the present price of heat at least two or thro dollars a barrel, linkers, bow- ever, will pell little cheaper than at present. 0. I, Corby, who Is serving for the linkers of the country as a voluntary aldo to .Mr. Hover, said that a 1G- ouuee loaf for 10 cents would repre sent n sliKht reduction In piesent prices. Slnndardlr.iillnn, ho said, would be hard lo bring about, since mnliiK costs III ingredients that go into broad have made it necessary to Increase or reduce the size of the loaf. No move will be made toward price reduction, .Mr. Corby said, until Hie food administration has announced Its plans for dealing with tho linking ie. It may bo a month before the program Is ready. It was learned to day. The bakers have been and are holdinc; themselves In readiness," aid a statement by Mr. Corby, "to BEDFORD WXTK TRTKDTTE;. MEDFOTiD, OTJEOOY.RATTTirnlT.

The agreoment between Tho Netherlands government and tho food administra tion releasing grain cargoes held in American ports to the Netherlands under certain conditions has been dis approved by tho exports administra tive board and the project Is in dan ger of being abandoned altogether. . THE HAGUE, Sept. 1. Two lead ing organs of Holland's diplomatic capital agree that President Wilson's answer to the popo's peace proposals does not bring nearer a cessation of hostilities. Tho Nleuwe Courant do scribes this answer as a fresh war declaration cloLehd in pacific garb and an invitation to the German peo ple to prove their deslro for peace by rising in revolt. "It 1b not clear what form of new evidence President Wilson desires," tho newspaper complains, in citing tho latter part of the.noto, "for, judg ing from tho text, even the most fa vorable peace terms would find no acceptance if they did not omanate from a government appointed by a parliament." The Nlouwe Courant, however, sees a bright spot In tho president's nssur anco that the aims of the United States are unchanged and especially rejoices In his rejection offin econom ic war. The Vadorlani hoads its comment with the tiflo, "Wilson's answer Is not made for Europe," and says It enn only truly and fully Bntlsfy Rus sian Maximalists, for "tho central people are left no choice but to kick out their governments." This, the newspaper declares, re voals a surprising lack of understand ing on thepresident's part and that ho docs not reallzo sufficiently tho strongth of tho lnnor growth of tho peoples nnd the dynasties, lie views the European states as ho doos tho states of tho American union and only seems to have the most superfi cial notion of. (rjo intricacies of the European problems, the Vadorland as serts, and its conclusion Is: "This strange doctrino breathes an atmosphere not of Europe and If we must wait until it permeates here, Europe will have lo suffer much long or and a terrible war. burden." Instead of cutting down the num ber nf automobiles aad trucks In the United States, tho war has resulted in a large increaso in motor vehicles In use In tho dS stales and the His- trist of Columbia, according to fig ures secured from state registration officials hy "The Automobile." Tho report shows 4, 242. lit!) cars and trucks in the country on July 1, a gain of 700,401 over tho number owned January 1. This number of machines shows one to overy 2 4 Inhabitants, according to tho latest census estimate, against one to 20, January .1, or ono to 12 lit the end of 1 !)!!". The Increase Is Iho nioro remark able when wnr conditions aro consid ered. Many mnnufnrturers hnvo rut down their output on account of unsettled conditions and the high price of gaso line, tires nnd parts hns had some effect on tho marketing of cars. New York led tho country In the number of cars with 345,030, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, lown and Texas follow In the order nnined. Tho largest percentages of Incrensc were shown In the south and west, where Improved road conditions have helped place many cars on tho mar ket.

Department of Agriculture Endorses Drying of Fruits and Vegetables by the ' ELECTRIC FAN Bulletin No. 8J1 says: "The Fan method lias a marked advan tage in that the product keeps eool owing to evaporation, while it is being dried, thus tending to retain the color and eliminate spoilage." And besides this new way of drying eliminates the biggest part of the work. , It does awn' with a lot of canning and that's good, for jars and containers are very scarce and mighty high in price. All summer long, at odd times, the housewife can pick np . choice bargains at the markets, prepare them in a few 'minutes, and the Drying goes on while she attends to something else. ' y cold weather time she can have her home stocked up like a siege fort for the longest, hardest kind of a cold, long winter. Start right now, while' garden and farm produce is plentiful.
