While the various accounts Of the
fighting I'm Europe, scattered and frag.
mentary as most of them are. slowly
shape themselves into something like
Il general view OF what has taken
place certain important military les
sons begin TO define themselves. There
can be no doubt that the item Of mo
bility, which was discussed in these
columns lately, has played very
significant part In the successes OF the
Germans. The ingenious employment
Of the automobile as means OF trans
portation has enormously widened the
possibilities Of movement.
But the German students OF military
operations, with their customary far
slghtedness. did not stop with recog-
milton OF the value of the motor vehicle
as means of increasing celebrity. They
dlscerned with unerrlng Judgment its
use as Il weight carrying machine. They
saw that powerful motor trucks with
broad wheels could haul heavier guns
than horse vehicles could and get them
over more difficult territory.
Having calculated carefully the re-
sources of this new factor in warfare,
they prepared To utilize IT, The result
has been that in the present conflict
the Germans have appeared in the field
armed with larger amount OF artil-
lery than their opponents. But 1t Is
not only in quantity but in weight and
power that the German preponderance
has made itself evident. The huge
siege guns which the Kaiser's armies
are dragging into the heart OF France
are far larger thnn any artillery ever
before seen away from the stationary
carriage of a fort.
What military experts will now have
/ to consider is In just what measure
| the combination OF swift movement and
power to carry weight brought into
war by the motor Is going TO modify
all methods OF fighting. At present II
looks as II the old system OF infantry
advance supported by artillery nigh,
be supplanted by artillery advance sup
ported by infantry. Can big guns bt
moved more quickly than foot soldiers
and proved to be more effective? That
is new question, and It may already
have been answered.

Let Us Have the "True Facts"

The charge brought by Attorney Gen
eral PARSONS that there exists a state
wide conspiracy to raise the price OF
foodstuffs to an unnaturally high Level
and maintain them there Is most seri.
Gus. II II is well based and It's authors
have violated the law the conspirators
deserve exemplary punishment. Mr.
PARSONS says:
81 propose to press this investigation
TO the point where the true facts will be
brought to light"
We trust that the Attorney General
will carry out his purpose. On no sub
iect now engaging public attention are
what he desgnates ms the true facts'
more anxiously awaited than on the
monopolization and manipulation ot
the food supply. We sincerely hope
that neither the primary elections moi
the general elections will swerve Mr.
PARSONS from his highly laudable plan
to disclose the true facts" and that
no false or sensational outgivings shall
obscure their significance.

Although the Central Federated
Union felt impelled, on account of the
unusual number OF It's members who
are out of employment, not to have n
labor parade this year. but to devote
to relief work the money which would
have been spent on It, there Is much
on which labor might well congratu-
late itself as It surveyed It's position
yesterday.
The depression under which business
now suffers has not been the exclusive
portion of labor; II has been shared by
all. 1t will pass and energetic efforts
to hasten the day OF its disappear
ance enlist the activities Of the most
nstute and capable men of every call
ing SO far rs 1t results from domestic
causes. those readJustments which eco
nomcal changes due to political rea lign-
ment have made necessary are in a
fair way to be worked out under the
stimulus of International need. How
profoundly these may be affected by
the European situation calls for no ex.
PLANTATION; It Is sufficient to point out
that n combination Of circumstances
and interests OF Irresistible influence
gives promise OF steady and perma
nent Improvement In the demand for
labor in this country In the near
future.
Meanwhile that social treatment for
which labor has 40 long struggled,
with pertinacity worthy of admiration
and intelligence not completely oh
scured BY lapses into stupidity that
were at least human, has achieved n
great progress, The compensation laws
already enacted indicate the nationwide
adoption Of these philanthropic meas

AMERICANS Nv DRESDEN.
A Censored Report OF Extreme kindne s.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH--Sir. You
would greatly oblge me and all the other
Americans who were staying In Dresden
when the war broke out by publishing
this letter. AS | have knowledge Of
ployed at police headquarters to help in
the filling out OF passports Many Of
the American applicants expressed the
wish that their thanks for the courtesy
and consideration shown all foreigners
by the German police could be made
public.
Every foreigner in Dresden has been
called upon to bring his or her passport
to police headquarters to he filled out In
German and stamped. This Is done free
OF charge and the German Government
guarantees TO every person provided with
an officially stamped passport Its protec-
ton. There are officials who speak the
language of the applicants, ready to give
Information as to trains. boats and lug
gage. Everything possible IL being done
for the comfort and safety of the for
eigners, even TO the supplying OF funds
TO Russian and English citizens who are
unable to receive money from home. All
American checks are cashcd at once.

who WAS 30 impressed by the quiet and
order prevailing here that he had decided
to continue his trip through Germany In
spite of the fact that neither he nor his
wife spoke any German and that all his

To the EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sr: New
Workers have been so accustomed to using
the far side for surface car stops that II viii
take some time to educate them TO use
the near side Because Of tho novelty, at
present many persons using surface cars
regard tho near side stop rule In the light
OF a Joke. 1t II dlficult for them to over
come the tendency to walk 20 the far side
TO wait for a surface car, and when they
suddenly realize they are on the wrong side
they shrug their shoulders In a sort Of
helpless manner and smile.
The custom has been In vogue for almost a
week Perhaps II Is too early to Judge, and
the innovation should be allowed a fair trial;
but It is really hard to see where. the
scheme has improved matters in the least
II may be useful In avertlng accidents at
crossings. for instance, In cases where
swift autos and wagons try to cross an
avenue down which trolley Is rushing at
full speed. Under The old system the car
would not slacken Its speed, but under the
new system the cars now stop at the near
side This fact lessons the chances Of
collision
Where are the passengers benefited Just
as Ions as the car stops at the proper
street they are satisfied. Generally speak
ing II does not accommodate them any
more than the old system did At some
places the new system Inconvenience the
public. For Instance. at Central Park
South where the sixth and Seventh avenue
lines end. persons using these lines on the
northbound side who wish to transfer to the
Fifty ninth street crosstown line must walk
clear across sixth or Seventh avenue In
order to reach tho Fifty-ninth street cars
nv so doing they expose themselves to risk OF
ins ury from autos and trucks

yesterday long enough 10 say that he can
not believe Ambassador James W Gerard
will permit Charles +. Murphy to drag
him into q fight for the United States
Senatorshlp at this time.
II am willing to concede the serviity
OF some Of the followers of Murphy who
run or withdraw from ticket at his be-
hest" said Mr.. Roosevelt, but | am not
yet willing to beneve that he can drag
an Ambassador away from his duties
in order to have him serve as a respec-
table head for a bad ticket. Nor can
conceive of man to whom has been
given charge Of an important post de-
sorting the President ut this time to help
Murphy out
"Mr. Gerard Is in a position OF great
responsibility. His duties will keep him
occupied long after March I. whether
peace comes before then or not"
Mr.. Roosevelt said he would have to
stay In Washington this week because

ures. Industrial inspection and regu-
lative statutes have reached a develop
nent which. If short Of perfection, GER
tainly must produce markedly improved
conditions. The endeavors OF labor
for exclusive class rights have been
successful In Congress and In the
States to degree that clothes 1t In
privileges enjoyed by no other body Of
citizens.
How these victories for an ideal
will affect the community at large
will eventually compel the most serious
consideration. The elevation Of one
division OF the population to a plane
of superiority over the others Is not
without danger even to It's immediate
benefclaries The progress that has
been made represents the achievement
of ambitions long cherished and ear
nestly advocated by labor. and on
what has been done Its leaders and
followers In the character of propa-
gandists, are surely entitled TO CON
graduate themselves.
