Rising Prices and PuShcarts.

Even before the Mayors committee on food
prices has had time to organize indications are
not wanting that dealers in foodstuffs both whole
sale and retail, thinking better OF their har-
vest plans Here and there the more easily STAN
peded have been scaling down their prices in the
face Of public indignation, thereby coming suS
pciously near to a confession that the Indignation
was fully justified.
More damaging testimony against them is con
tanned in the report of tour of the pushcart mar
kets by a Tribune reporter. The Dedlers Of the
Jewish and Italian quarters find competition too
keen TO raise prices on false pretences. Nor
would the housewives Of the East Side be im
pressed with the connection between European
war and the price of cabbages. Only price move
ments having genuine economic explanation are
reflected in the pushcart markets. 1t might help
the Mayors committee in its Investigations to re
member this and TO test phenomena OF this sort
in other sections Of the city by constant reference

Soldiers and Shoes.

Who WAS il that said an army was as good as
its feet? Has the German General staff forgotten
this adage or do all the German prisoners in Brus
sells limp in their new shoes and complain Of sore
feet lust because Of the cussedness Of new shoes
in generalf
Recently the United States army conducted a
nationwide shoemaking contest, finally awarding
two contracts to the winners after the production
of 242 pairs Of the most perfect samples OF mill
tary footgear ever manufactured; at least so the
army experts who sat in judgment say. Can it be
possible that our little army, so sneered at in
military circles on the Continent teach the
Kaiser's war machine a few tricks;

The Big Battle; When Will 1t Come ?

r>-erv dsv N. rumor comes that the big battle
over the gateway 70 Northern France Is oeinS
fought. and vet no one knows whether the armies
- the Germans and Of the allies are even near
enough 10 each other 10 fight The place the aIeS
have chosen to resist the German advance has
been carefully kept secret, in spite Of the IN
usual freedom newspaper correspondents in Bel
GUM have enjoyed since the war broke out As
bearing upon the position Of the two forces 1t
seems significant that in all the clashes that nave
taken place in Belgium the French have figured
largely only in the fight at Dinant. Generally
the skirmishes have been between the cavalry OF
the Germans and the Belgians. And II has been
announced that there have been no casualties
among the British forces rushed TO the defence
Of France. They too, have not been near the
lighting
Thus It appears that the Germans have advanced
slowly across Belgium with little or no resistance
from the French or English Screening move
ments Of the two armies have hardly come into
contact. Brussels has apparently been abandoned
10 the invader and the capital has been removed TO
Antwerp. which is probably susceptible Of de
fence for a long time by Belgians alone against
any force that the Kaiser can afford to employ in
taking It. The allies are evidently not going to
contest for the possession Of Belgium, but will
meet the Germans near the French frontier, or
perhaps further back, II a more defensible posi-
ton can be found further back. They gain from
drawing the Kaiser further from his base. while
leaving hostile points like Antwerp Namur and
POSSIBLY Liege in his rear They gain from delay
while the Germans advanced position becomes
more difficult with the Russians drawing closer
10 the eastern frontier and with the French in
AIsace operating around the German left.
The recalling of the correspondents from Bel
GUM. the preparation OF the Belgian government
10 withstand a siege at Antwerp. give grlmmer
and more businessike aspect to what Is going on
unon the northern frontier OF France But it by
no means follows that a great general engage
ment will come in a few hours or in few days
The allies can afford TO wait and choose their
ground carefully Theirs is waiting game.
While they put on the issue huSsld II eetuHS
ready TO strike in the rear They may have chos-
en- 10 withstand the shock of the German hosts
near Waterloo, as the newspaper military experts
with fondness for the condolences of history
are busy predicting, or, again they may be facing
the enemy further west There may be many
clashes between advanced bodies Of French and
Germans before the big engagement is fought
All that is really clear is that the Germans are
slowly advancing with little or no resistance yet
and that this advance will soon bring on conflict
upon the result Of which much may hang.

GERMAN CAUSE JUST
Russia and France Accused of Land
Grabbing Intentions.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: II is with deep regret that ! note
the anti-German feeling. or rather the
prejudice against the German Emperor
and the endless criticism of German
methods in the present European situa-
ton.
Germany's success has given her bit
ter enemies. Nations that cannot come
up TO her standard in fair competl-
tion are sulky and envy the very exist
ence Of her people
great country does not want war.
No; il wants TO rise 10 the highest
point Of social ambition and culture,
but neiPhbors, Though insane jealousy,
are looking for the chance 10 down that
which has taken years 20 develop.
A slight Misunderstanding is their
cause for war. Territorial gain is the
aim of France and Russia, the suprem-
acy Of the seas of Gods world and the
grabbing Of more colonies the point Of
England.
Germany and Austria are fighting for
the preservation Of their race, the back
bone of European civilization. Their
cause is just.
