solute closing of the channel to all
forms of traffic, and would give the
German land forces a leverage for

ally this acquisition of Calais would
increase the German holding by
probably a third as much territory as
is now held in France
Every report lately received from
England and France indicates that
preparations are being made to re-

Much surprise has been expressed
that the allied forces have not util-
lied to better. advantage the oppor-

1t may be that they are avoiding the

present maximum strength later
when the Germans make their third
attempt to reach the channel coast.

Investigate the Federal Inspection !

When the steamer Eastland was
inspected early in June by represent
atives of the United States govern
ment she was terrified" as seaworthy
in respect to hull and boiler for the
carriage of a certain number Of per-
sons, on a scale huctuating with the
season and with the distance from
the shore. As Saturdays disaster
proved. the inspection as to the hull
of the ship, that is to say her struc-
ture. was evidently perfunctory. APP
parently no attempt was made to
Judge as to the vessels stability in
a loaded condition. That she was
watertight and that she carried the
prescribed equipment of lifeboats and
life preservers for safeguarding life
in the event of normal accident
was evidently the extent of the in
vestigation. 1t is obvious that in the
judgment of the inspectors the vessel
was properly designed. Saturdays
catastrophe seems unqualihedly to
prove that they were horribly mis-
taken
1t is possible to guard against such
a disaster as that in Chicago on Sat-
urday. Boats can be built so that
they will not overturn. even if loaded
to their Capacity" By observing
certain structural rules every vessel
can be made safe in this respect, and
it is shocking reflection upon the
federal inspection service that YES
sci should be certified as meeting the
requirements of the law that is so top
heavy that it will turn turtle at the
dock when loaded to the limit per-
mitted by the regulations. Either
that limit is too high or the boat is
too insecure to be allowed to OPP
crate.
Inasmuch as the federal inspection
service is directly involved in this
matter, it is doubtful whether the in
vestigation into the responsibility for
the disaster should be made by that
bureau. Possibly the Department of
Commerce, which comprises that bu-
reau, should be regarded in measure
as a defendant. The Department of
Justice should conduct the inquiry, SO
that the results may be accepted by
the public as conclusive.

Motors Near Fire Hydrants.

Special warning has been given to

continue to do SO are to be fined.
Meanwhile any motorist who leaves
his car within the prohibited range
Of FIRE plug" runs risk of seri-
Gus injury to the machine, even if
the police do not happen to notice it.
Fires occur without warning. No
body knows when the engines may
come along or what hydrant will be
next in use, and motor car is left
near one of these connections at
serious risk of injury
This rule is written in obvious rea-
son. 1t should be respected unques-
tioningly and scrupulously. 1t is de-
signed to protect lives and property

stage of fight against fire, those

only enough of how they have been

While we have been marrying capt.

There has been a man hunt in this

Congress and the National Defense.

The question of an adequate ma
tional defense is taking on the i'm
portance it deserves. Both the poll
ticians and the people are alive to
it. Both are willing now to listen to
the views OF those competent by their
training and practice to pass upon it.
1t was but yesterday that expert
testimony was ignored or derided in
Congress- At committee hearings the
member who quoted Gen. So-and-So
on army estimates found himself
talking to deaf men. He either could
not get attention. or could not make
himself understood. The same thing
befel the member who quoted Ad
miral So-and-So on navy estimates.
In the open House or Senate the
squabbles are easily recalled. A
proposition for more soldiers, sup
ported by commanders who had spent
years in the army, was rejected on
the protest of civilians that the real
aim was to turn America into an
armed camp A recommendation for
four new battleships was shifted at,
and those who had made it felt them
selves fortunate in getting two.
Sometimes they had to accept one.
Although so recent. this seems far
away. We wonder that men charged
with providing for the public well
fare, and with the opportunity to
know the real situation, should have
refused allowances so vital to the
country.
At last. war blood red. and
plenty of it-has come to emphasize
the warnings and pleadings of our
army and navy experts, and to re-
buke those who treated them with
scorn or neglect. We shall get now
something of what has long been
necessary and should long since have
been supplied. There is good rea-
son to believe that the army will be
increased beyond the size of police
squad, and that the navy will be
started on the way to its proper pro-
portions.
We cannot at once enjoy the full
effect of the new policy. particularly
as respects the navy. Ships cannot
be built while you wait. 1t takes
time to put them into the water
ready for action. But the fact that
we are at last convinced of our de-
hciencies and have set about the
remedy will tell upon public senti-
ment both at home and abroad, and
make us surer of ourselves and others
surer of US.
The cost will be considerable. but
the people will approve it. Congress
will not incur the reproach of ex-
travagance if in the light of the past
years developments and what they
warn against for the future it makes
liberal provisions for the national
safety. Saving on that line would
be the very opposite of economy.

German Plans to End the War.

A dispatch from Paris states that
the German emperor. according to
information coming from Copen-
hagen, has declared that Germany
cannot undertake to negotiate with
her enemies until Warsaw and Calais
have been captured. The dispatch
adds that the emperor with two of
his generals has drawn up final plans
to end the war, which, the emperor
says, must terminate by Christmas.
If this is true, it is suggestive that
the present German plan is to &C
quire such vantage ground by adj
vances both east and west that Ger
many could enter peace negotiations
on the basis of her position as con-
queror of territory. Whether the
allies, in the event of, the achieve
ments indicated, would agree to a
peace conference is doubtful 1t is
obvious that their present purpose
is to wear out the German resources.
on the theory that Germany has a
positive limit in men that is greatly
exceeded by their own reserves. I'm
less Russia is absolutely crushed in
the field and rendered incapable of
recognizing a menacing force, there
will remain, whatever the frontier in
that section. the possibility of re-
newed Russian offensive, or at least
sufficiently strong defensive to cali
for q large German force there.
The capture of Calais is known to
be one of the most desired objects of
the German campaign. 1t would, how
ever. be of much greater importance
to Germany than the capture of War
saw. 1t would bring the German
armies almost within cannon shot
range of the English coast. and

European Business Methods.

The purpose of the administration
to send to Europe commission COM
posed of trained investigators to
study the methods by which the fore
most of those countries have estab-
lished and conducted their enormous
foreign trade seems to have merit. 1t
is subject in which America is very
much interested, but about which
knows too little. There may be
difficulties in pursuing the work at
this time, owing to war conditions,
but whatever information is gath
cred will be useful.
At later day, after the war closes,
another investigation should be
made. having for its object the as
certainment of the changes the war
has wrought u the power of produe-
