One thing has been concIusively estab-
lshed by the present European war, and
that is that the controlling minds behind
the various great armies can keep secrets.
Never in the worlds history has there
been such a strictly maintained censor
ship over any great movement as now is
kept over the development of the titanic
struggle going on in Europe 1t is not
strange that many protests have been
offered up in the various countries con
cerned, for it is but natural that the folks
at home should desire information of their
fathers, brothers and sons who are facing
death on the battlefield. However, as
the maintenance of the censorship is cal
culated to lessen the horrors of the con
hict, it is we'll that it be maintained.

In the matter of foodstuffs the ultimate
consumer is constantly playing losing
game, and apparently he has never been
more at the mercy of the retailer than at
the present time. He knows by expert
ence the meaning of the phrase, "heads
win; tails you lose" An increase of a
fraction of a cent by the wholesaler gives
him his warrant for adding a whole cent
or more to his goods. But when the same
articles drop that fraction the fact makes
no appeal to him. He cannot consider
such small matters and unless the reduc-
ton Is considerable he cannot give his
customers the benefit of it. This has
been shown in the price of beef and it
has been very conspicuous in the coal
market Pennsylvania has put tax upon
anthracite of about 10 cents ton, but

are already better paid than other rail

A word not found in many even of the
latest dictionaries, yet whose meaning is
easily apprehended, has sprung into com
mon newspaper use since the beginning of
the war. 1t is 'moratorium, which is in
effect suspension of business obligations
1t describes a condition made practically
Imperative by this unprecedented war
condition. The derivation obviously is
from the Latin verb ''morari,> to delay or
stay. The suspension for which it stands
has been applied infrequently, but def
nitely on at least two occasions before in
the last half century, according to the
New York Sun, once in the Franco rus-
