European Transportation.

From the American Review of Reviews.
Granting that each Of the countries
involved may be able to produce
enough, in the aggregate, of the vari-
Gus necessaries to support her. the
question Of distributing the supplies
among her people still remains. If one
part Of the country has a surplus
while another is starving the condition
Is about as bad as though there were
no surplus. This is largely a matter
OF transportation. The question is
often raised nowadays. May not the
transportation system be SO tied up
with the movement of troops and mill
tary supplies as to prevent the distri-
button of food to the people? They
who think that the railway systems Of
Europe. which were designed and de-
veloped as parts of the military ma
chimes. are likely to break under the
signed, must have a very poor opinion
of the intelligence of their designers.
They are welcome to their opinions.
On the whole. therefore, in the alb
sence of effective blockades, or Of
wholesale devastation and pillage.
any of the nations involved will be
forced to sue for peace because of a
lack Of food supplies. The chances
are that the war will have to be fought
to a finish on the fields OF battle We
they who are finally beaten will ne
beaten by slaughter and not by starva-
tion. The possible shortage OF horses.

felt most acutely by the armies in the
field, and will. therefore, be a factor
in winning or losing battles rather
than In supplying food.

Economy on the Stage.
From the New York Sun.


The swift fate which overtakes the
atrical enterprises today has often
been source of amazement to the lay
man. A play must now stand or fall
according to the verdict of its first
night audience. If 1t shows no imme-
date signs of vitality the wise mana
ber withdraws the effort, acknowledges
defeat and tries again. The layman
wonders how any enterprise with any
consideration for commercial princi-
pies can be conducted on such a basis
But he is probably forming his conclu-
sions according to something that he
has read or heard from the publicity
agents of the impresarios. There was
a time when large sums were expended
on the production of plays.
Such extravagance, however, Is not
the rule at present. me MANAGERS are
not plunging in the matter of access
sortes to the degree that they were sew
eral years ago. Regular attendants at
frst-night performances are often able
to greet the scenes as old friends. There
is new frst-night diversion which
consists, in barren intervals of the
drama. of trying to tell when and
where that piece OF scenery was
irst flashed on the vision of the spec
tator. There is nc ground Tor criticism
in this economy. The American stage
has for years been overdressed. to the
cost of its intellectual and spiritual de-
velopment. The decreased expense Of
mounting mount rba P.ay less it costs to but them
before the public the greater will be
the number which the manager risks
and the greater the energy Of the play
wrshts and thus the Is So

Interested in the advancement Of the
stage in this country.

Royal Title Earned.

From the New York Times.
No more than one swallow makes
summer does one king Of obviously
practical utility convert the seasoned
democrat into lover Of monarchical
government. Even the most indurated
and implacable contemner of royalty.
however, though he may refuse to
thrill visibly as he reads about the
doings of Belgium's ruler. must In
common decency confess that Albert
Is conducting himself at this late day
in a way that gives him the same ade-
uuate reason for being" that originally
led to the establishment Of his class.
Perhaps Albert's present eminence as
a soldier and a man owes something
to the snobbish willingness. from
which hardly anybody alive Is free, to
see large the acts of crown-wearers
and to feel delighted surprise when
they play well roles in which common
mortals Of equal competence get no
applause. Perhaps he prohts. too.

PERIL TO CoNTRABAND GOODS.
London Underwriters Tentatively
Consider Withholding Insurance.

LONDON. January IA proposal to
withhold marine insurance from ves-
sells carrying contraband to neutral
ports is being generally discussed
among underwriters here. The plan
has not passed the tentative stage,
however, and already has met with the
strongest opposition.
A member of a large nrm of UNDER
writer's said:
Underwriters as a whole are as pa
triotic as bankers or any other British
business men, but we are not convinced
we would be justified in Withholding
insurance from neutral bottoms carry
ing contraband to neutral ports. There
Is nothing immoral in business of this
nature. and in the past our shippers
withdrawing Of insurance at this
time by British companies might also
result in the permanent loss of a great
and profitable business of so attractive
nature that new companies might
soon be formed to take 1t over. A
sense of gratitude on the part of the
shipowners might lead them to con-
tinue to give their business to such
companies after the war"
