paper finds New England's textile
industries in need of dyes; made
in Germany" A few of them made
here, it is true; but not enough TO
be much more than a drop in the
bucket Of our demands. Germany
cannot fill our orders. either for dyes
or for the materials from which they
are made; it turns out that some of
the materials used in dye manufac-
ture are also used in making eX-
plosives, and Germany at the mo-
ment has more concern about eX-
plosives than about dyes. So she
has laid an embargo on these ma
terialS.
Now, if American laws mad re-
quired the manufacture of dyes in
this country for American trade, as
German laws require the manufac-
ture of shoe machinery and many
other specialties in Germany, we
should be equipped to take care of
ourselves. AS it is we are not.
Why not?

THE CITY POSTOFFICE.

Fluctuations to Otto Praeger,
postmaster. of this town, and TO his
force of postal workers who have
handled the rush of Christmas bust
ness in such splendid Fashion. 1t is
the testimony of everybody who has
had business with the office that
there has never been a time when
1t was so easy to get good and
prompt service, and when there was
so little evidence of the haste that
initiates against speed.
Of course, the magnifcently
equipped new postoffice plant, which
is as complete and efficient inside
as it is handsome outside, is entitled
to some credit. 1t is vastly easier
TO organize an establishment in such
quarters. But the fact remains that
some administrations would have
got lost in the new plant, and not
have got it into the smooth working
order that it now is, in the short time
since the removal from the old head
quarters building. The people in
charge of the office are entitled to
recognition for a large part of the
accomplishment represented by the
superior management of this years
holiday business jam.

TIE MORAL Effects

President Wilson's recent pro-
nouncemcnt that the present bust
ness depression is largely psyche
logical caused the unsympathetic to
erupt in jecrs verging on ribaldry,
but it brought that inoffensive ad-
jective from the clustered pale of
academic seclusion into an unfeeling
world just at a time when the world
was much in need of IT.
The Presidents phrase afforded
opportunity for much delightful
satire; for weeks it was the piece
de resistance Of the UaIagraphers.
Altogether, they made very strong
case for the objective philosophy.
But, for all this, Europe is giving
Us a demonstration of the truth that
it is psychology more than material
ism that makes the wheels go round.

THAW AND FRANK CASES

1t would appear that Harry Thaw
cannot be punished for the murder
which he committed, because the
technicalities Of legal procedure
stand in the way. On the other
hand, Leo Frank stands in imminent
danger of being hanged for a muir
der of which he is widely believed
not to be guilty, because of the same
technicalities.
These two cases are going to be
very much in the public eye and mind
for some time to come, as they have
been for some time past. 1t would
be a good thing if the day-by-day
and week>by-week progress in both
of them could be reported in parallel
columns so that the significance of
the contrast which they present
might be constantly impressed on
the mind of the community.
Thaw, conceded to have killed a
man, was able to use fabulous sums
of, money to fight against paying
the penalty of his deed. The one
appeal that could be made in his
behalf was silly appeal to maudlin
Sentimentality; and it won with the
jury that finally acquitted him. In
the Frank case, the one telling. de-
termining appeal was to prejudice:
and 1t brought his conviction. The
two cases are now pretty thoroughly
understood by the great mass of the
thinking public, and they will not
fail to have powerful influence in
enforcing the demand for processes
that may be relied upon to better
the administration of the criminal
law.

AUSTRIA IN PROTEST,

That there is beginning to be
widespread impotence in Austria
with the course of the war, is by
no means surprising. The magnifi-
cent and thorough preparation of
the German national mind for all
the possibilities of the great con-
flict was not paralleled in Austria.
Indeed it could hardly have been
effected in that country, because of
the great differences in language and
race among the people. Probably
if, in the dual monarchy, a syste-
matte effort had been made for a
generation to train the people to
expect a war of this kind, it would
have wrecked, rather than CONSOLE
dated, the country. Once plunged
into actual war, soldiers cannot very
well help fighting, even though they
may do it rather half-hcartedly.
But Austrians, and especially the
Hungarians who have never fancicd
their Subordination TO the Vienna
regime, arc not inspired by any such
grandiosc conceptions of their dcS-
tiny, and of the gloriously national
character of the war, as have been
instilled into the Germans. Even
in Germany the process of directing
public sentiment has not been COM
plctely successful; Bavaria and the
other southern states of the empire
have been irked at their subordina-
ton to Prussia, and to Prussian
militaristic ideals. But in Germany
there was the tie of a common Ian
guage, and that has worked power
fully for the purposes of the
monarchy and the aristocracy. The
Slavic clement in the polyglot
population of Austria arc not too
strongly to be relied upon in d great
crisis that may come at any time,
bringing the dual empire to face the
hard possibility of defeat.
Austria begins 10 feel, evidently,
that it is being played by Berlin;
that it Is serving as a tail to the
German kite; and that sentiment is
sure to gain ground as the people
come more and more to understand
the real origin and motives of the
war. Suppression of real informa-
ton about these things has been
carried to all amazing extent in
Austria, as is evident from the tone
of such Austrian comment as has
reached the outside world. 1t seems
that there is only just beginning to
be disposition Of the inarticulate
masses 10 attempt articulation; and
their mode of expression is in riots
before the German embassy in vi
emma, in resolutions in the Hungarian
diet. and other manifestations not at
all reassuring TO the monarchy. II is
not safe to regard these expressions
too seriously; but no more can they
The Washington times., 1914-12-23

be ignored. That demonstrations
have taken place in Prague, Buda-
pest, and other provincial cities is
undoubted; now reports tell of like
actions in Vienna.
Not less important than the lack Of
intellectual and spiritual solidarity
among the masses of the Austrian
people, is the fact that Austria was
worse prepared, economically, for
the stress of a war, than any other
country involved. 1t had been in az
era Of progressive depression ever
since the Bosnia Herzegovina incl
dent; for that affair brought con-
servative Austrian business and
finance to realize that there must
sooner or later be fighting to main
tam the pretensions then set up.
The two Balkan wars were simply
Donflres on the windward side of the
Austrian powder factory; a change
OF the breeze might bring in the
sparks at any time. There was no
chance for economic recovery during
the epoch of those wars; instead,
Austria sank deeper into the miro
OF fears and dependence. Business
was PROSTATE, money had vanished,
confidence was ruined, unemploy-
ment was everywhere, misery among
the poorer classes was almost uni.
versal, even before the pistol of
Prinzip had fired the shot that set
a world in flames. Add to all this
the distress that war brought, and
1t is no wonder if Austria is in a
state of mind by today to consider
the desirability of separate peace,
If peace can only be had on that
basis.
The Washington times., 1914-12-23

and of slaughter are realistic enough
in all faith. Yet those ialytical
individuals, so amazingly gifted with
eX post facto omniscience, the war
critics and military experts, in COM
menting upon the recent raid of the
German ships upon the Yorkshire
towns, admitted that the direct re-
suits might he unimportant but that
the moral effect was great; moral
in this case being used as a synonym
for psychological. The aim of the
Germans, it thus appears, was to
strike terror into the menaced Eng
lish. to dispel their sense of security
in other words, so to create an
illusion of insecurity that the Eng
lish, in common parlance, would
''lose their nerve" It's creation
worthied the jeopardizing of a first
class battle fleet.
Upon the same psychological
grounds are explainable the remark
able feats of news management,
both in expression and repression,
now being accomplished by the vari-
Gus governments at war. The censor
is the incarnation of psychological
power. His duty is to magnify vic
tories, to minimize reverses, and all
because of the psychological effect
the news will produce both at home
and abroad. Nothing succeeds like
success" and what you don't know
won't hurt you" are the aphorisms
the censor works on in expanding or
deleting news.
1t is a question whether the cour-
age of despair or the elixir of success
more inspires the fighting man to
deeds of valor, impossible in cold
blood. The first condition may pro-
duce finer examples of heroism, but
the latter is more useful for prac-
teal purposes. 1t is for practical
purposes that the censor works; aim
ing less at the man at the front than
at the man who drinks l. the news
with his coffee at the breakfast
table.
At the beginning of the war Eng
land thought it worth while by cut
ting or Communicating cables prac-
tically to isolate Germany from the
rest of the world. 1t was the moral
effect" the British aimed at, the ad-
vantage to be derived from present
ing news in a form most beneficial
to the allies. The realty of this in
tangible advantage is most appreci- !
ated by the Germans themselves,
who have keenly deplored the pro-
twist given the bulk Of the |
news received in the United States. |
The various powers at war have
issued their prismatic papers for the
moral effect" the documents will |
produce. In the struggle OF "reek- |
ing tube and iron shard," there is a
potent force that cannot be measured
in centimeters or appraised in dol
lars, which the materialists may jeer |
st but which is playing a great part
in the destiny of nations.
