dread arbitrament of war. The con-
science Of Great Britain, France and
heroic Belpium is an absolutely clear
one, and the only foe is the military
depotism of the German peoples with
the kaiser as their war lord.
German military caste has misun-
derstood every human factor with
which it has to deal, and has counted
on the unreadiness of Russia, the sup

spiritlessness and political divisions of

THAT AMERICAN MERCHANT
MARINE.

President Wilson is pushing his ship
ping bill with his usual vigor. II now
looks as if the plan for the govern
ment purchase OF ships To the extent Of
$50, 100000 will be adopted by Con-
gress.
With President Wilson's desire to
establish an American marine, all good
Americans viii agree. says Henry
Clews. But government purchase ot
ships meets with strong opposition in
some quarters for the reason that there
is plenty of available tonnage seeking
employment, although much of that
offered for sale is not of suitable
type. Moreover, private capital is like
IL To hesitate To enter into competition
with the government; hence ii may
prove no real aid TO the establishment
OF a legitimate American merchant
marine. as the cost of running is apt
to be more than under private enter
prise.
In the end the prospects are that the
transaction viii prove To be losing
one for the government. and we shall
be fortunate if we escape foreign COM
plications.
ON the other hand President Wilson
ought TO be commended in his desire to
suspend for a period the restrictions
which prevent private ownership of
American ships.
The excessive cost of building and
operating American ships is the main
reason for American ship-owners OPP
Grating under foreign flags. shipping is
a business subject TO keen competi-
ton. and those who enter it cannot
succeed unless they 20 in upon the
same basis as those who have already
succeeded in advance. They must buy
their ships, their supplies and their
labor under the most advantageous cir
cumstances.
our laws FOR many years have pre-
vented this policy In some respects
these laws have been modified; but the
remaining restrictions are still too Sc
we're to permit of profitable operation,
and the American shipowner is obliged
to hide his property under other flags
and depend upon foreigners for protec-
ton TO American property.
President Wilson will do well to sus-
pend these restrictions as far as with
i'm his power. Ultimately they should be
removed.

A REAL AUDITOR GENERAL.

Michigan in times past has expert
enced much Indifferent service on the
part of the important functions per
formed by the auditor general, re-
marks the Pontiac Press-Gazette.
There have been periods when this
highly important administration of
state account was imbued with the
usual spirit likely 10 come from choos-
ing auditors through direct vote.
The holders were auditors in name
only, their principal function being to
look wise, allow some one else to per-
form the service and give small con-
sideration to the many requirements
for conserving the states cash.
When Oramel b. Fuller assumed the
position there was a distinct change in
the atmosphere around the auditors
office and the Republicans of this state
never performed n better service than
when they continued him in office.
There is no question too small for
his consideration and his eagle eye
has been trained to detect the smallest
imposition intended 10 deprive the tax
payers Of their funds.
There is abundant opportunity for
sly deception in this particular depart
ment, but through all the years of Au-
ditor Fuler's administration the pad
der of bills has learned TO give him a
wide berth.
II he wishes to be auditor general
another term no better service could
be performed for Michigan than 10

SOME Government WASTES.

Congressman Barnhart OF Indiana

dollars annually in its printing bills.

Congressional Record by fake
speeches, distribution Of public docu-
ments that go to the junk shops, etc,
But unfortunately for Mr.. Barnhart's
sensible propositions, the congressman
can't see themselves as the voters see
them. Similarly congress has always
peddled out free seeds, on the theory
that the constituent feels pleased at
this mark Of attention. II is suppos-
ed that there are many votes in these
beans and peas and cabbages.
II IS doubtful If the farmers use
these seeds very much. They come in
too small quantities TO be valuable in
a business way. The backyard sub
urban gardener may make some USE

ness of the government 20 distribute
seeds than 20 give away shoes or

the people must pay. The intelligent

thinks. Instead he is again reminded
of the iuefclency Of congress, and he
feels desire 20 smash things politi-
calIy.

During the war between France and
Germany, Amiens, after an important
action, fell into the hands of prussians
on November 2S, 1870. Textile indus
tries, for which Amiens has been cell
ebrated since the Middle Ages, in
clude manufactures of velvet, cotton
wool, silk, hemp and flax-s spinning, and
the weaving of hosiery and a variety
of mixed fabrics. Machinery, cheml-
calls. backing, polish. and sugar are
also manufactured. Amiens occupies
the site of the ancient Samarobriva,
capital of the Ambinai, from whom it
probably derives its name.

THIRTY YEARS WAR.

II Germany should meet with over
whelming and crushing defeats on both
sides, and the allied armies should
converge upon Berlin, the war would
soon he brought to an end. Lacking
such an utter defeat as this, the war
will drag out long.
What Germany can do in the way
of resistance was proved by the thirty
years war, from 1918 to 164S. To what
"A point Of economic ruin" the Ger
mans were able to come, and still fight
on is proved by what history tells
OF their condition when that terrible
struggle was ended by the peace OF
Westphalia:
From end TO end Germany has been
trampled upon for a generation by ar
mics which plundered and destroyed
as they passed. Especially In the
south and west il was wilderness OF
ruins. Places that were formerly the
seats OF prosperity were the haunts or
wolves and robbers for many long
year. 1t is estimated that the popula-
ton was diminished by twenty, by
some even by fifty per cent. The pop
ulation OF Augsburg was reduced
from 10000 to $4,000; of Frankenthal'
from $4,000 to 324 inhabitants. In
Wurtemberg, in 1641. OF 100000 $4,000
remained; in the Palantinate. in 1886,
there were 2O1.O00 peasant farmers,
and in 164s but a fiftieth part of the
population remained"
The immediate result OF the thirty
vears' war was the disintegration of
Germany. If Germany were beaten
now the dissolution of the empire into
its original component states would
nrobabIy be one of the results. The
Germans will fight long time to pre-
vent that.
fact which argues against an ear

traordinary number OF frontiers on
which II is being fought. Reverses on

The attitude OF the commission
is set forth in the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas political CAMPAIGN is

rally interests all citizens, and, where
as the direct participation in the
campaign by employees of the board of
state tax commissioners would not
only interfere with the proper per-
Torrance of their duties, but would
also lead to criticism OF the propriety
Of such acts, loss of respect for the
board and loss of confidence i'm the alb

improper for employees TO be candidates

LAID TWO EGGS A DAY.

In the Poultry Raising" depart
meut Of the current issue Of Farm
and Firesidc appears a little article
entitled Eggs Laid While You Wait"
in which the following account is given
Of hens that lay two eggs a day:
Before the days Of breeding for in
teusiye egg production the feat Of lay
worthy OF special remarks. Now the
brcd-to-lay hens, working on high
pressure schedule, quite often lay two
eggs within twenty-four hours. In
some cases one egg is laid during the
day, and one the night following while
the hen roosts. Other more enterprise
ing hens will occasionally lay two
eggs i'm twelve hours, or during the
daylight period.
MY first actual hrst-hand knowl-
edge Of a hen laying two normal eggs
in a period much less than day came
TO my attention May g. 1914. This am
bilious hen laid two full-sized, per-
fectly shelled eggs In less than half
hour. She was just thirteen months
old.
1T is only fair 20 explain that this
hen No. ca Barred Plymouth Rock
bred especially for heavy LAYING did
not lay the day previous To her double
laying performance, and did not lay
as usual in the morning Of the day In
which she laid the two eggs in the
afternoon.
"The probable explanation OF this
unusual laying stunt is that a hot
wave delayed the expulsion Of the eggs
which made some disturbance OF hei
function"
