THE SIEGE OF GERMANY.

The German people pouring their saw
;nos into the war chest. Undaunted by the en- M
barge of foreign credit they have subscribed more
than 81 900 100000 of their own money to a
new, bond issue. They have done this at the end
of an epoch of incredibly heavy taxation, at a
time when their own business is Frustrated and
a foreign trade of S, 900, 100000 a year has
virtually disappeared.
The German people may starve and freeze,
but the German army and navy will have 1000
and clothing, the guns will have shells and the
cavalry and artillery horses will have oats ana
shoes.
Apparently it is to be war OF exhaustion OF
resources. Germany will hight until eltneI ner
military strength is shattered she is hopelessly
bs,lr,,nt. Her soldiers will presumably last long
cr than her money. 1t is in the throttllng OF her
commerce and industry and credit that the allies
are doing their most effective work.
The closing of the sea lanes, the seizure OF
merchant ships the appropriation OF her foreign
trade, the crippling of her mines and mills, the
checkmating of her loans, these are even more
potent moves in the game than the capture OF
io~ts and the thanking of armies
IF the kaiser's armies are thrown back, the

IN h;story-the siege of Germany by the leagued
covers. And whole nation may resist to the

1,ent of such candidates were ignored Their
names were never mentioned except m a most
mannr If exhaustive inquiry
into mans career did not reveal anything to his
credit, reporters and editors were instructed to m
vent something that could be Used to bring about
his defeat.
What has worked the change that has come
on er the political field of journalism so that now
the candidate for office is no longer treated as
though he was a william of the deepest dye, if
nominated by the opposing party?
In the first place there mighty few OF
the old-time political organs left Newspapers
are now more independent, broader minded, and
freer to express their honest CONVICTIONS Formerly
those committed to the support of party causes
did not dare to criticise the nominees OF their own
party for fear that they would arouse the antagon-
ism of party leaders and thus lose certain amount
of political patronage that given them as a
matter of course. Instances lnnumerable could be
cited in which newspapers have repudiated party
nominees because they believe that their election
would be detrimental to the peoples best inter
ests.
Another reason for the change lies in the
adoption of higher. standard OF political and
business ethics by the entire press OF the United
States. The day of personal journalism is well
nigh spent Editorials now express the views of
the newspaper in which they appear and not those
of any one person With this change has come a
notable broadening view in the handling of pub
&c questions. The tendency is to support .men
and measures that will be Of benefit to the public
lat large rather than to a-party or clique More
than ever before the editors realize their deep
csponsibility to the people they serve.

ples today is the one that regards itself as for

GETTING THE WAR NEWS.

Readers who may be disposed to crtelSe
the scarcity of illuminating war news, or the re-
liability of such reports as printed, should reJolce
that they do not have to depend on European
newspapers They are far better informed from
day to day than any other people in the world.
The American papers are printing more Oer-
mar, news than the German papers, more french
news than the French papers, more English news
than the English papers.
And the matter they print is more accurate.
While statements enanatng from any foreign
official source are likely to be colored by Preju-
dice or policy, and stories sent by trustworthy
American correspondents may be censored SO as
TO modify their import, it is fairly easy, on the
xvlele to arrive at the truth by checking up the
various accounts The American newspapers
get reports Of the same events from all the eell-
gerents, together with illuminating sldellghts
from European ner,trals. Out of all this the
reader. even without editorial sitting and inter
nretation can form fairly correct estimate OF the
progress Of the war
In Germany nothing is printed except news
favorable to Germany. The British and French
censorships are less drastic but do not give half
ire scope that our newspapers enjoy. Neither
Italy nor any other neutral nation has our faciii-
ties for gathering nor our freedom IN print
ing it.

MILITARY TIPS FROM AMERICA.

From the time of General Braddock's i'll
|fated campaign against the French and Indians
in Fort Duquesre American military genius has
always worked along original lines. The contrl-
button which the aborigines made toward the
education OF European army officers in that
campaign was their skill in individual fighting,
their ability to take advantage OF natural posts
IF security as contrasted with the traditional adj
vance in mass which proved to be 50 costly to
Brasldock's expedition This method of fighting
Twas not overlooked by the American soldiers IN
he Revolution and in the Civil war
In the Boer war the British army had to learn
the lesson of fighting in open formation at last
and at terrible cost of life, although they might
have seen the value of such tactics through the
lessons of the Civil war if they did not to adj
NIT they were successful in the Revolution and
H. lier wars in our country
Again we pointed to Europe how potent "a
fortress a trench could be- particularly in such "a
Battle of the trenches was the siege of Peters
Iburg in the months OF I864-65. And yet Europe's
Iwar engineers went on building fortresses that
have been knocked to pieces in incredibly short
periods of assault against the predictions of most
Iof the military experts abroad while the overlook
led trench has made as good in Belgium and
France-foT both sides-as it did before Peters
burg.
Again the talk of officers abandoning their
swords and Emperor Williams expressed regrets
to his cavalry that they have not had proper enl-
nlcvment in the western campaign thus far calls
attention to THE fact that Colonel Mosby, the
Confederate's cavalry commander first put into
practice the abolition of the cavalry saber in a
barge, for he knew, and proved the revolver is
a much more effective weapon undr such circunl-
stances.
Our Civil first proved the effectiveness
of the ironclad, torpedo, mine and submarine in
naval engagements. Such a feat Lieutenant
Cushing's with his torpedo attack for brlancy
of invention and courage has never been surpass

YOUNGSTOWN, April 24.-The
borough of Chatham was the defend
ant in a civil suit in the District
Court yesterday, before Judge Oliver
+ X. Day. The suit was brought by
Walter Smith, an electrician of Chat
ham, who claimed the new Board of

Down two of his bills amounting to
S10060 for services as emergency
borough electrician during the sick
ness of the regular borough electri-
clan, Harvey Vance.
Smith showed that he had been
working for the borough in December
Of last year, and had been paid with
out hesitation, but when the new
board came in on January 1, 1t turned
down his January bill and also his
February one. refusing TO pay 1t on

Smith had been hired by the borough
clerk for the board of water commits
sioners, which Mayor Page, of Chat
,lham, has declared to be out of exis-
tence. Borough Clerk Patrick Reilly
was witness to prove the existence
of the board of water commissioners
by an ordinance as Leroy Gihby. of
Summit, who has been appointed
borough attorney, would not admit

A smile ran around the court room
when Mr.. Reilly was asked by Nath-
aniel c. Toms, of this town, attorney
for Smith, If e. M. Faulks was a
member of the water board and he
said he did not know for sure. A.
M. Trowbridge and William Hopping,
