Austrian Weakness Helps the Allies

Austrian Weakness Helps the Allies
T1HE END of the war win be in sight when
i Austria Hungary collapses. How soon
this catastrophe win overtake the dual mon
archy no one can foretell but signs OF its ap-
proaoh are manifold. Austria Hungary weak
ened herself in the beginning by sending her
heavy artillery to Germany for use in the
campaign against the French. But the lack
OF artillery does not enfeeble her so much as
the incoherenee OF the hostile racial elements
IN her population.
Hungary is nearer akin to Russia and Ser
via than to Austria. II the Russian forces
can once get through the Carpathian hills in
considerable numbers they will fnd that the
resistance from the Hungarians will be more
formal than real Hungary will not be a

! rTNHERE is red blood In Mr. Becks veins
i but why should he wish to pour 1t out on
fields already wet with gore2 The idea Of
the United States and the other neutrals
summoning the bellgerents to cease hacking
each other pain Of the aforesaid neutrals
drawing their swords and terminating the
conflict by force of arms Is all right, but in
such case just whom would the neutrals
fight? This thing of interfering in a family
row is inevitably so disastrous to the inter-
ferer that the comic artists wax rich in de-
picting the results We could not well put
our armies into motion against Germany
alone IL the Allies also refused to accept
peace And as for fighting both Germany
and the Allles-well, "let them as wants to
do It,"
The former Assistant Attorney General
speaks of a "cowardly sulking, shirltng poll
icy Of isolation" Those are strong words,
Mr.. Beck. There is nothing cowardly in
keeping our heads, nothing sulking in the
charity we have extended to the stricken,
nothing Sinking in our determination to
protect American interests on the high seas
and everywhere else. The United States is
the great remaining guardian of peaceful
civilization. 1t is an oasis in the desert of
strife who would deliberately change its
status and hurl our youth into the mael-
stroms of fire and shell2 Let Europe fight
as it willard it is best that there be no
end Of 1t until peace can be established on
lasting bass-but the United States Is well
out OF 1t and must keep well out of it, Par
ticularly must we beware of many whose de-
votion to the cause they advocate leads them
into strange pursuits. Our duty to the world
and to humanity is to keep our place far
above the senseless clamor of the battle
fields, the shining champion of peace, in
exorabe in our pursuit of industry, the hap
piness of humanity and law and order.

Progress That Cannot be Blocked


TT WOULD be grievous mistake for the
to maintain lobby at Harrisburg to fight
the progressive legislation demanded by pub
lie sentiment. workman's compensation
law and child labor law. not to mention
others, are demanded by all those for whom
the rising sun of a better day is not OBJ
scured by the dime held before their eyes.
The Manufacturers Association can be
helpful in framing wise laws. Its members
are experienced business men, and their
advice is indispensable If mistakes are to be
avoided. It's Harrisburg lobby" can possibly
Justify its existence If 1t co-operates with the
representatives Of the employees and with the
agents of the philanthropic societies in draft
ing workman's compensation bill which
will protect the interests of all parties and
bear heavily on none. What is needed just
now is good faith and forward vision.
But whether the Manufacturers Associa-
tion co-operates or not, some kind of legis-
lation for the relief of the workngmen and
their children must be passed this win
ter. When Congress declared that the
labor of human beings Is not q commodity
It formulated the new gospel which is to
inspire much lawmaking for the next gener-
alton. If the employer fails to treat the
employe as though he were a brother man,
society at large will insist upon n reform.
The old fashioned economists may object,
on the ground that generous humanity in
business relations spells ruin, and declare
that society cannot lift itself by it's boot
straps. Perhaps it cannot, but society can
throw a rope over an ideal and pull itself
up to higher things.

Backstepping ON Coal Rates

TTHE Pennsylvania Railroad is entirely
i right in declaring that it is important
to the State of Pennsylvania and the city
of Philadelphia that the revenues of the
public carriers serving both be adequately
conserved.
1t is even more important to the State OF
Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia
to see that their natural advantages are not
nullified by differentials in favor of other
States and cities less favorably situated.
The question OF the adequacy OF the coal
rates, which the Public Service Commission
has ordered reduced, Is not the issue for If
they are inadequate the railroads stand con-
victed OF having for years maintained un-
profitable rates to competing ports. The
discrimination has been notorious and per-
sIstent. The ohlcial order of the commits
sion was on that account anticipated.
The appeal 10 the courts by the railroads,
therefore, appears to be dilatory proceed
ing which public opinion will not indorse.
Otherwise, II the roads are convinced that
their case can stand it's merits. their
failure TO ask for a rehearing is inexplicable.

BY CHARLES W scovEL.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 26.-Busi-
ness conditions are undoubtedly far
better today than for a hong time. OF
course the current Is not yet strong,
save In war order channels. In many
lines little Improvement in actual re
suits has yet been measured But
confidence is here. 1t is widespread
now, and Is expanding. People feel
that a general forward movement is
already well under way. Watchful
waiting for whatever may turn up is
at an end. It has been replaced by
active planning and the starting Of
things. The only eye now watchful is
that seeking an empty bandwagon
seat in the prosperity procession.
This is confirmed by what | learn
from life insurance men-from COM
pany heads down to the agent circu-
lating upon an industrial route.
consider 1t an extremely substantial
basis upon which to generalize. The
life insurance agents in their respec-
tive lines reach every class of people;
few can so soon sense a return OF
business assurance and pulse its prob
able trend.
Certainly this is not case Of "the
wish being father to the thought" for
last years poor conditions in the
Pittsburg district did not prevent new
policies for 5000, 600 being placed
here.
That was a substantial gain over
any previous year.
1t was not all "big" insurance. The
small Industrial policy and the
income and endowment policies writ
ten in four, five or six figures were
represented, each of them, by in
creases.
The small endowment and income
policies probably showed the greatest
increase above normal.
Herein, ii might be said, is to be
found strong evidence:
() That the business depression
was, as a certain well known leader
of our national thought and action
has said, largely psychological"
(2) That thrift has been greatly
encouraged by the examples of hard
times within our own country and by
the smoke and ruin of war abroad.
The man who In the course of hard
times can even be successfully urged
to put his money into a policy that
will protect his family against his
death over a certain number of years
and protect him by Income should he
survive the number of years for
which it is written has alone no firm
faith in luck. He must see for him
self that beneath the qulcksands OF
business uncertainty there is such a
sure foundation that when his next
premium comes due conditions will
have surely been restored toward nor
NAL that he will be able to meet it.
One of the notable things is that
the thrift encouraged by hard times
has developed the fact that those
practicing It have shown supreme
faith in our business institutions
There is nothing new in the manner
in which thrift has manifested itself;
people have always managed to save
more in hard times than in good But
the old tendency to distrust of custo'
dian institutions was, in the last year
encouragingly absent The people
not only did not lose faith in those
! institutions and return all that they
had to the loose brick in the hearth
or the secret niche in the garret, but
with the admirable spirit retained
faith in their investments throughout
