The belligerent European nations will declare a truce within three months, if a prediction made by Dr. Jay W. Hudson, charter member of the league to enforce peace, and instructor in philosophy at the University of Missouri, is fulfilled. "I believe Germany entered the war for conquest, but I believe she will ac cept almost any terms the Allies will now make," said Dr. Hudson. "The Allies will insist upon and Germany will consent to the restoration of Bel gium and the payment by Germany of a large indemnity. '"Alsace-Lorraine will be divided ac oiding to neutral boundaries, the German-speaking portion going to the fatherland and the French-speaking to ranee. Poland will not be restored to Russia nor will England insist on Russia's getting Constantinople. "This opinion is based on my belief in England's fear of Russia as a fu ll re commercial rival. England will prefer Constantinople to remain Turk- sh." Dr. Hudson declared President Wil son s peace overture should nave been ent long ago. "It will carry great influence, which s all this country can hope for in the peace negotiations, he said. " llson will never be called as mediator. But oth Germany and the Allies are glad the note has been delivered. Thev are oth ready for peace. England's in- ignation is largely feigned." Experience is the Be-st School. Only fools do not learn by ex perience of other people. A wise man forms his judgment upon a rem edy from results communicated in newspapers and calls it to his memory if the need conies.

The food situation in Germany has grown much worse during the last six months, ac cording to the report of the Associ ated Press correspondent who has re turned from a trip to Berlin. Pota toes are so scarce that this week's per capita ration in Berlin was less than four and four and a half pounds. This is attributed in part to the farmers withholding shipments until February i; wnen higher prices will be per- mitted and it is not denied that the potato crop is insufficient to meet normal demand. No cheese has been on the market since August and eggs are unobtain able, except surreptitiously at sixteen to twenty cents apiece. Berlin's daily milk supply is about 350,000 litres against a normal 1,000.000 and it is impossible to buy clothing, shoes. stockings or blankets except bv mission of the police. This latte; however, mav merely be a precaution- ary measure, as the shops appear well stocked with clothincr. Chief Burgomaster Wermuth, a; well as the heads of other cities, com- plains that the larger towns are com- ii l a- i i i . I peueu to suuer unnecessary narusn.ps because the system ot distribution ot foodstuffs has failed in many respect; In some cities, the situation seems to be better than in others and a Berlin business man told the correspondent that he had spent Christmas week in a Rhine city where he got plenty of I meat and bread without being required to showyi bread card or meat card.
