SOME MORE KRUPP LOGIC.

(St. Louis Post-Despatch)
Persons in this country who pro-
fess to be mortified at the American
traffic in munitions Of war should
note carefully what Germany and
Austria are doing to Rumania. Both
Germany and Austria have counten-
anced bitter agitations at home and
in this country as a protest against
trade that has always been lawful and
which. pursued by individuals. has
never before raised a question Of neu-
trality.
Germany and Austria new menace
the northern frontier Of Rumania with
armed forces because that country
thus far strictly neutral, refuses to
permit shipments through its terri
tory to Turkey Of munitions Of war
In this case Germany and Austria
hope 10 enforce traffic in arms for
their own benefit by governmental
action on the part Of a neutral In
our case they have attempted 10 pre-
vent traffic in arms which for the mo-
ment is disadvantageous 70 them By
governmental action on the part Of
another neutral
10 doubt after Rumania's rights
shall have been violated we shall hear
very little from Berlin and Vienna Of

from the Krupp works 10 deprive Brit
ish and French women and children
of their bread-wnners who are now
fighting at the Dardane1les.

PENDLETON POINTS THE
WAY

IN Albany, Oregon, dis
II patch tells of the appoint
ment of a committee in
that city for the purpose OF
starting a campaign for a mu-
nicipal natatorium and a SINH
lar committee will hold a meet
ing in Walla Walla this even
ing to discuss ways and means
of building public swimming
pool. We may expect to hear
of other small cities in the
northwest doing likewise now
that Pendleton has pointed the
way.
Bearing in mind this city's
latest achievement and bark
ing back to other civic enter
prises in which PendletOn has
pioneered it, that phrase, "Pen-
dleton Points The Way" would
not make such an inapprOpri-
ate slogan.
Pendleton was the first city
in the state outside Of Portland
TO pave her streets, and the
other cities followed her lead.
Pendleton initiated the Round
up which many communities
have copied in a smaller way.
Pendleton led in the introduce
ton Of industrial branches in
her public schools, she was in
the vanguard Of those safe
guarding the health Of her
citizens in seeking a pure wa
ter supply and now she is the
first to provide free swim
ming pool.
Pendleton points the way.

military purposes. Even the most hardened of militaristic states can per- celve that self-evident fact.
 This truth becomes especially i'm portant in war such as is now being fought on the western front in Europe. We have 120,000 soldiers in killed, wounded and missing to make a vain defense of a few square miles of land in northern France and in Belgium, and We do not know how many men it took for the victorious Allies to win. It probably cost them heavily, but not as heavily as that for the side which has the most guns, ammunition and men can deal the most smashing blows, ad the Allies on the Western front now have that preponderance, just as the Germans had it in the be- ginning of the war. On the retreat from Charleroi to the Marne, the Allies lost more heavily than the Ger mans; on the retreat from the Marne back to the present line, the Germans lest more heavily than the Allies, and on the Western front the Germans must be losing more heavily than the Germans in the east.
 Putting the claims of the press bureaus of all nations into one batch and dividing up to obtain the average and assuming that losses are about equal all around, the war now re- solves itself into a gigantic game of chess or checkers, in which one side Is forcing a policy of continual trad ing. The more exchanges are made, the more advantageous becomes the position of the side having the great est number.
 Germany, fighting almost exclusive " on foreign soil, holds the geo. graphical advantage, but actually her predicament is terrible, for in the deadly exchange of man for man which is going on, her enemies are steadily gaining the advantage. And even German science, skill and patience cannot reverse the processes of nature, nor erase the census of IT years ago. which has already decreed the final limit of her available human material. Unless she can win by a smashing stroke of genius and against that chance must be always balanced the fact that her foes have en equal opportunity-she seems doomed to be crushed by the superior numbers on the other side.

The Movie Trust. (New London Day1

Perhaps in a few days we shall be given to understand more fully what is meant by the announcement of a federal court opinion, ordering the dissolution of the motion picture trust. If the federal court has gotten through its head all the processes by which the movie business has been trustif1ed, and the ramifications of that achievement, it has done more than almost anybody else has ever been able to do. And if it succeeds in actually breaking up the trust which it decides to be in existence it will have done a still more wonder full thing. Judging from some of the productions of the combine, the movie business could scarcely be in a worse condition if it were split up into ever so many fragments, even after due credit is given for the splendid fea- ture productions under trust auspices.

Resign, Mir. Whiton.
(Hartford Post.)

The Hartford Post has every re- spect for LuciuS F.. Whiton, senior na ember of the state board of arbitra- ton, who stated point blank to this paper yesterday, that if there is any demand for activity on the part of his board he will resign. We have re- spect for Senator Whiton because we know him for an able, honest citizen, 9 public official who has no interest to serve but the states and who acts according to the dictates of his con- science and not as he's told.
 But knowing the senator as we do and appreciating his loyaley to public trust, we believe that the only course of action honorably open to him after this statement, is to forward his resig- nation to the governor of the state forthwith. If he does not do so Governor Marcus Holcomb should inn mediately call for this resignation
 The state board of mediation may be, as MT. Whiton says, a body with out power or authority, but no citizen has any right to hold public office and 10 declare that he will make no effort 10 perform the duties which are as- signed to that office. If he continues to do the governor has no right to permit it.
 If MT Whiton, or any other mem- Der of the. state board of arbitration feels that it is not worth while even to make an effort to carry out the theoretical purpose of this body, then let him resign and make way for the appointment of a man Or men who is at least willing to make an at tempt to perform the duties for which he is appointed.
 And this applies not only to the members of the state board of arbi- tration and mediation but to every member of every other board and every public official whatsoever.

It Seems Attractive.
(New Haven Union.)

Since Billy Sunday was showered with gold and nation wide acclaim as the baseball evangelist" the exhort- ing arena has proved an attraction to several well known characters, John L. Sullivan, ex-prize fighter. physical culture exponent and Broadway char acter, has his hat in the ring and this winter is going to follow in the footsteps of Sunday. Then there is the Black Billy Sunday" touring the country and preaching much after the fashion of the original sensation. Now the newspapers report that "Al' Jennings, former sage brush terror end desperate outlaw of the south west, is to start an evangelistic career in Brooklyn There are a dozen other imitators of Billy Sunday in various parts of the country, initators of less fame than those mentioned.

merry widow as he dead; she glad" had the idea much more ac- curately than the post office de- partment at Washington seems to have it. The impression seem to be that Washington's idea of a grass widow is a woman who has become physically separated from her hus- band, and wants to be legally separ- ated. There is lack of authority for such an arbitary definition. In the American acceptance, a grass-widow was first a woman temporarily sepa- rated from her husband, as while he is travelling or residing at a distance on account of business. Through more or less mistaken usage it has come to be applied to women actual ly divorced. Its application, to a woman seeking a divorce is rarer, and has the least justification. The ori- ginal significance, which has no sug- gestion of divorce or desire of di- vorce, is the pleasantest and most legitimate one.
 What's the matter with the post office department? Is it bound that every woman whose husband doesn't spend every night with her shall be Officially divorced ?" It would better consult a good dictionary.

A PRESIDENTIAL "FAN."

President Wilson has announced his intention of joining the legion of loyal ones and on Saturday next will jour- ney to Philadelphia to see the Amer ican and National league baseball teams battle for the second game in the worlds championship series" This gives some idea of what a hold base ball has on the populace of the na- tion. The President loves game of baseball as well as any boy or man in the country. He is an ardent fan. A dyed-in-the-wool rooter. His education along these lines was prob ably finished off at Princeton where he often sat in the bleachers' as a college professor, and rooted for the Tigers against the Yale Bulldog and other collegiate animals. Down in Washington he again found things to his liking, He has opened every sea- son there since his incumbence of office by tossing the spheroid from the grand d-stand to Walter Johnson in the pitchers box. That the President of the United States is able at this par ticular time to lay aside the cares of his office and join the motley throng at baseball game is a good
 omen. It gives a fair idea of the security of the nation. When Kings, Kaisers, Emperors, Czars and other potentates are busily attending to their knitting on the 'battlefields, we are fortunate to have chief executive preparing to watch such a gigantic, but at the same time placid, struggle as a baseball game. May that be the most serious conflict he ever sees on American soil.

War ReIaxes Etiquette.

Military etiquette is always relaxed in war time, and We are passing now through much the same phase as in Crimean days, when officers who had grown boards and acquired a taste for tobacco through long months in the trenches exhibited their boards and cigars in Piccadilly, says a writer in "The London NDaily Chronicle" Off, cers back from the front no longer smoke pipes in public places-a breach. of decorum which would have been impossible before the war.
 Worse even than that-in the opin- ion of retired colonel, who views the outrage moodily from the win dows of the "Rag"-is that the sub altern has taken to carrying his own bag, and not infrequently exposes evil dence that he has been shopping. London, Sir James Barrie once ob- served, is the only place he knows where man may eat penny bun in the street without attracting un- desirable attention, and we may see the day when the one star officer will try even that experiment.
