The Peace Sentiment.

A halt appears to have occurred in
the peace movement inaugurated
through the good offices of President
Wilson. But this is not surprising. In
deed, 1t would have been remarkable
If the preliminary overtures for an
armistice pending the tentative dis
cussion of peace terms had led to any
practical results at this juncture. The
war has barely started, though with
tremendous losses of life and property
1t is literally only in the first stages,
with no assured indications of the re-
suit. save that the chances would ap-
pear to remain against ultimate Ger
man success in view of the heavy COM
bination of factors arrayed against her.
But discreet peace efforts will doubt
less continue. And with the neutral
world praying for peace. with senti-
ment against the war, irrespective of
the merits or dement's of it's making,
developing universally the moral pres
sure upon the contestants these efforts
will be ultimately effective.
We as a nation can only stand and
wait for the arrival of the favorable
moment when our tenders of media
tion. through our President. can be &C
cepted. We have no direct responsible
ity in the premises, merely the respon-
sisflity Of peace-loving neutrals who
abhor the spectacle of the war as a
waste of life. We cannot assume to
judge the motives of the warning pow
ers or govern them in their conduct
now that they have engaged in this
awful arbitrament of arms.

Theory and Practice.

A wondrous sense of humor has Au-
gustus Gagglewise.
The things that fill his soul with mirth
fill others with surprise.
He finds sincere amusement in Pc
cuniary loss,
Provided that some other man is
forced to come across.
The lofty hopes of men whose cherish
ed prospects go astray
Will move him to reflections most ex-
travagantly gay.
And laughter unrestrained will bubble
from his fancy bright
When children toward their parents
are extremely impoIite.
Each human sorrow that we view,
OF any shape Or size,
Will prove a glorious joke unto
Augustus Gagglewise!
He laughs about the taxes that the
people have to pay.
He grins at the contentious of the ma
tions far away
He finds amusement in the griefs that
mortals must endure.
His point of view, of course, Is very
cosy and secure.
The doubts and dangers which beset
the men who do and dare
Are merry sprites to him that romp
and caper everywhere.
And even war that RACES forth with
pestilential breath
So ludicrous appears, he almost laughs
himself to death.
But when his own misfortunes come,
And dangers round him rise.
You ought to hear the boiler from
Augustus Gagglewise!

that he is the bull moose party; that
without his leadership it would dis
integrate. He would have his per-
sonal friend in Maryland believe that
the bull moosers have other leaders
worthy the presidency, and that one of
them may be nominated two years
hence
No republican is likely to be captured
by that. There are some able men in
the bull moose party, but the name of
not one of them is associated with a
presidential nomination. The prevail
ing idea in both republican and demo
cratic circles is that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not yield first place to any of
them.
The men who are now bull moosers
and likely to remain so at least two
years longer know no leader but Mr..
Roosevelt To them he is all in all.
Take George W. Perkins. Is it be-
Iievable that he would stand to his
guns as he is doing if he was not cal
culatins on Mr. Roosevelt's nomina-
ton? His interest in politics relates
to the trusts, and on the trust ques-
ton he and Mr.. Roosevelt are in per-
feet agreement With Mr.. Roosevelt
would know to a dot what the presi-
Dental policy would be as to the fur
Their regulation of the trusts.
Mr. Roosevelt dominates the bull
moose party as completely as Mr.. Will
son does the democratic party. When
ever the democrats are in doubt they
turn to Mr.. Wilson, and whenever he
chooses to decide a controversy his de-
cision is accepted. All bull moose con-
troversies are referred to Mr.. Roose-
welt: and only in the case of the Hin
man candidacy in New York has an ap-
neal been taken from his decision.
Count Mr.. Roosevelt out of the equa-
ton for 1916. and nothing remains OF
bull moosery He is the whole snow.
What the effect will be on his for
tunes if a small bull moose vote is
thrown everywhere in November is be-
yond calculation at present except
that he will have to abate some OF the
spirit that now possesses
him.

The President and Economy.

The President, sensitive to the crit
icism Of the total of the supplies Voteo
for the current fiscal year. Is ioohihs
to the next fiscal year. In proVlolhs
for that he wants Congress to ecoho-
mize, and will see that the estimates
of the departments are Kept as 10" DIS
possible Now. that is something IKE.
Mr.. Wilson must share in whatever
blame attaches to the Appropriation
figures under criticism. He did not IN
the matter of supplies exercise the IN
huence with Congress he exercised In
other matters. He may not have seen
the tendency of Congress. He may
NOT have had the time. His attention
WAS directed to the tariff. the cur
,an,y and the trusts-three big and
absorbing subjects.
Had he thought of economy-glven
II a place in the party programme
fiected on the promise made at balu-
more-he would have held as frequent
conferences with Chairman Fitzgerald
"a with Chairman Underwood. Chair
man Glass and Chairman Clayton in
the early days of the special session.
when congressional business was being
planned.
But Mr., Wilson was a beginner. He
did not know to what extent appro-
priations go by favor; that legislators
exchange favors: that at such times
party lines disappear, and that al
though the party in power must bear
responsibility. members of the party
out OF power help pile up the sums
voted.
Neither did he know how often-al-
most regularly-promises of economy
are spread as "molasses" in campaigns,
and that they catch many votes. 1t is
one Of the oldest of our political tricks.
The other fellows figures always rep
resent waste. Our figures shall reprA-
sent the needs of the government eco
nomically administered. And often the
dear people fall for" the palaver.
But now that the Presidents infiu-
ence is to be felt at the short session
In favor of retrenchment in govern
mental expenditures, his ideas on the
subject will possess much interest. II
he Is to become "the watchdog of the
Treasury" he will fnd a good deal of
watching necessary. We have a big
establishment, and for the successful
running of it big sums are required.
The war should add both to our size
and to our burdens. For as we grow
our expenses will grow. Putting Uncle
Sam on short allowances would be
neither good politics nor good bust
ness.
A budget is the thing; and in time We
shall come to 1t. Such a reform makes
its way slowly, but once adopted JUS
titles itself and becomes a fixture. A
few years experience with the policy
will make US all wonder that we de-
layed so long.

Austrian Soldiers,

A sinister story comes from Petro-
grad through London correspondence,
which, if true, explains in large meas
ure the collapse of the Austrian army
in the Galician campaign. 1t is stated
that large numbers of Austrian SOL
diers have been captured, in companies,
battalions and even regiments, with
out officers. The hint has been given
by these prisoners that they were
driven into battle by their commanders
at the pistol point and that when en-
gagged with the foe they contrived SO
that their own fire slew their leaders
and then they hoisted surrender sig
nails.
At the outset of the war it was felt
by many who had studied the Austrian
military condition that the army of
Francis Joseph was not to be trusted
for stout work against adversely, that
it was composed of widely heterogene-
Gus elements, some of them hostile to
the Austrian regime, some even friend
ly to Russia and certainly friendly to
Servia. 1t has been the common prac-
tice in European warfare. where such
elements of racial admixture are in
volved, to put into the most perilous
positions those VINO are uHUeT the udT-
row of administrative force, those sus-
pected perhaps of disloyalty, and to
depend upon the driving power of COM
pulsion to make them fight Some such
situation, though not with the race
question involved. is said to have ex-
listed in the French army in 1870, when
the percentage of deaths of officers
was exceptionally high and it was the
barely suppressed talk of the soldiers
later that revenge had been had upon
tyrannical commanders.
The man who is driven into the battle
line is not a good soldier. whatever his
race or the degree of his military
training. If these Austrian troops have
surrendered after killing their own Of
ficers, lamentable condition exists
throughout the army of Germany's al
Iy, a condition suggested by the al
most unbroken failure of that force to
withstand the Russian advance.

He was prominent last year in the
Underwood revision, and is prominent
now in the discussion of the war tax.
He made his debut as a national legis-

much to say about any tariff legisla-

be referred to the finance committee,
