What Has Great Britain Done?
(From the Wall Street Journal)

What has Great Britain done? Her
navy. her financial credit, and a small
expeditionary army were all that were
asked by the Allies. They would
have been entirely contented with
these. but Great Britain gave Infinite
ly more. Her navy wiped the Ger
man menace from the seas. Il locked
up the vaunted German navy. which,
without Great Britain's participation.
could have battered France into sub
mission in a fortnight. II has re-
moved the submarine peril far more
effectively than any Of the wordy adj
monitions OF Washington.
But instead OF her first expedition
airy army. which totaled 10000 men
instead OF the 125 600 expected. she
has placed upwards OF 100000 men
in the field, without counting the CO.
lonial and Indian troops, and has p
100000 more IN readiness. The rela-
lively small length of her line in
northern France is quoted. But It'll
curious to hear from German sources

Relatively TO all the others, Irish
Canadian. Australian, New Zealand
and Indian, the proportion OF Great
Gritain in this contribution is over
whelning.
But her service, in this instance
voluntarily. merely begins here. She
is the principal guarantor for a
credit here of 81 600 100000 But she
has lent already TO her allies. Russia,
Italy, Serbia, even Roumania, more

than 81, 600 100000. This is twice the
credit we are extending, mainly for
the benefit Of our own commerce with
our best customers. What has Great
Britain done? What hasn't she done?
She has conquered every German
colony, with the single exception of
the Cameroons, now starving itself
into impotence By her own enlight-
ened system Of colonial government
the Beers have wiped out the German
colony in Southwest Africa, the
French Canadians are fighting on the
Belgian frontier. the Irish are, charac-
teristically, fighting in the thicketst
OF the fray, and the supposed sedi-
tious Hindoos and Mohammedans are
cleaning up all the German political
gains IN Turkish ASIA And there Is
more than this.
II il were not for the British mas
terry Of the seas. where would our own
export trade be? Even with an un-
certainty on the ocean. the trade
which our short-sighted politicians
grudge to the Allies. because Ger
many is in no position to receive il,
would not exist at all To leave out OF
the argument the inyiolability OF
treaties and the rights of neutral and
peaceful nations, all the moral issues
involved. on the plain question of ad-
vantage to our present and future in

England's War Expenses--A
Warning for Preparedness
lFrom the WashIngIon PosL.l

Let Americans who are staggered at
the thought of spending $500,0O0,0O0
for national defense consider the fig
ures presented in the house Of COM
mons yesterday by the chancellor Of
The eAchequer and see what war
costs.
The revenues of Great Britain from
all sources will be Sl,36000O. 900 for
the year and the expenditures will be
81 800 100000. To make up part Of
the deficit a bill has been brought in
imposing the heaviest taxes ever laid
upon the people Of Great Britain. The
income tax VIII be increased 40 per
cent. Penny postage will be abolish
ed end all postage and telegraph rates
increased Import duties will be laid
or increased on sugar, tea. cocoa. au-
tomobiles. motorcycles. clocks. watch

hats. tobacco. picture films. chicOry.

huge burden upon the people
The cost of the British navy is esti-
mated at $500, 900 900 a year and the
army is S3,5OO,O0O.O0O
Evidently the war will accelerate
the movement for general protective
duties. England is becoming pro-
tectionist country in spite OF theory,
Unless there is laid a tax upon im-
ports, the burden upon the people In
the form Of excise and income taxes
will become too heavy to be borne.

Courier Journal"
II is observed chiefly in Repuhli-
can quarters that "the Administration
IS preparing to revive the shipping
bill defeated by the last Congress" T"
Such a measure put forward by the
Administration would be a serious
mistake. II would split the Demo-
cratic party wide open and go far 10

Nay. more than this and worse than
this, it would inevitably breed scan
dal, dragged first through the cor
ridors Of the Treasury Department
until finally IL might reach to the
very door Of the White House, more
or less TO compromise the President
and his family.
The agitation is not only a menace
TO Democracy but a check to CONNER
cial enterprise and national prosper
ity. II is the threatened competition
OF the Government that discourages
the private investment Of capital in
shipping. Tho sooner the President
allays this apprehension by the an

a hair-brained project the sooner
