ment President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo are in urging government
ownership and operation of ocean
freight lines In all, 2s2 organiza-

dent ohstinately declared to nave a

Most intelligent people agree that
our ocean marine cannot b. revived
without aid of some sort from the

natural method Of giving assistance
Is to grant mail subventions. The
United States does this now 10 Q
modest extent, and no change OF pol
ley would be involved in paying lar
ger sums to mail steamers which are
also freight carriers. Congress has
been many times on the point of
granting subventions to South Ameri-
can lines. but always Just lacked the
backbone TO do what It really felt
ought to be done. The vote of the

The next best plan for reviving

Violently attacked by Democratic pol
iticians. who shied at the name rath-
er than the fact, since most of them
were willing TO put vaster
burden on the treasury by authoriz-
ing the purchase OF ships and their
operation at an unavoidable loss by
the government But subsidies we're
also favored by the commercial or
ganizations. and naturally. since this
form Of aid involves no vast outlay
and encourages private capital to 90
into the ocean trade, instead Of repel-
ling II, as government ownership and
operation must do.
So far the net accomplishment of
the Wilson administration has been
the passage of tho La Toilette law,
which puts new burdens on American
ship owners and even discriminates
against them in favor of their for
eign rivals. If the President really
wants to restore our merchant flag
on the high seas the way is open to
him. The country will gladly support
him in urging Congress to increase
postal subventiOns or to grant aubsid-
les. The moderate investment requir-
ed for these purposes would bring in
a satisfactory national return, where

The Crucial Battle
lFrom the Washlngton Post-l

Chief interest in the European war
now centers upon the Russian front
which evidently is being subjected to
the fiercest attack made by the Ger
mans and Austrians since the conflict
began.
The mystery which had surrounded
the whereabouts Of Gen. Won Hinden-
burg is now cleared away by the dis
patches which explain that he is
threatening Warsaw in the north,
while Won Mackensen is attacking in
the south.
Realizing that the shortage of mu-
nitions which is torturine the allies
Is an asset for the Germans. the latter
are concentrating an immense army
in the 100-mile tract between the
Nistula and the Bug, where the most
decisive battle on the Russian front
is now pending.
Gen. PolivanoH, the Russian minis
ter Of war, pays a high tribute to the
valor of the Russian troops which
are to meet the great attack of the
Austro-German army Of 100000, but
unfortunately the result is apt to de-
pend more on ammunition and equip
ment than upon galor
Witnessing battle after battle lost

munitions, 1t is no wonder that Eng

of the shortage on the other side. and
