II the Eyes Of the French.

The spirit Of France-not merely
II that which people are calling the
new France but Of the France eternal
shines in these reported words Of
General JOSEPH GALLIENI:
"Shall We have the necessary energy

travel about France everywhere. Al

- The country. you will see in the eyes
q every one the Interchangeable will to
psrsevers "a the very end. to . complete
victory"
This estimate Of the universal and
Interchangeable character Of the patri-
etc purpose now animating an heroic
nation 10 confirmed by all observers.
Nobody. for example, has grasped
more intelligently the psychology Of
the France Of 1915, or interpreted
moro clearly the significance Of this
unboasting fortitude, this marvellous
democracy Of sacrifice and suffering,
than the American writer EnrTH
WHARTON. Those who nov travel in
France, those who know the French.
those who read the contemporary lt-
erature Of France, are Of one opinion
respecting the energy and the will that
are to persevcre to the end.
General G~ALLIENI's referendum Is
cha racteristic Of the France OF to-day
because 1t appeals to the light which
Is In the eyes and not to words in the
mouths Of his fellow countrymen.

The Eject Of the Automobile on
Railway Passenger Trafic.

Almost without exception the i'm.
portant railroads show decreases In
their passenger revenues for the fiscal
year that ended last June. These de-
creases, nov coming to light in their
annual reports, have been startling
ven to railroad officials who through
out the year had been cognizant of
the direction passenger revenues were
taking. Thus the Southern Pacific
showed a falling OF in passenger
revenues Of $2,S4O,OOO, the Northern
Pacific about $2,OOO.OOO. and the Chi
casO. Burlington and Quincy railroad
about ST. 1000.
These decreases apparently are not
to be explained geographically. They
occur East as we'll rs West, North rs
we'll as South. No less shrewd an
observer Of railroad conditions than
HowARD ELLIOTT has pointed to them
rs indicating, In his opinion, that
tho travelling habit OF the people In
the last few years has decreased con
siderably."
As To u travelling habits, however,
Il 10 open to some question whether
the figures for the year ending last
June are n fair criterion. As be-
tween 1914 and 1913 there was an in
crease of S4,4OO,OOO in the passenger
revenues of the railroads of the coun-
try as n whole. The people Of this
country were pinched last year. or
at least they felt W. Curtailment
Of travelling necessarily comes first
In the family economy programme.
Should the prosperity which the coun-
try Is now enjoying continue. 1t Is
likely that it will he reflected next
year in a jump in passenger receipts.
Travel is inevitably the concomitant
Of easily acquired wealth.
But while conditions abroad and
their reflex here unquestionably fur
nish the principal cause for the fall
ing of of railroad travel lately, there
Is another cause Just now inviting the
serious consideration of railroad men
and not to be explained by abnormal
conditions.
The automobile has for some time
been making its effect steadily felt
upon railroad revenues, particularly
here In the East. 1t is being felt most
severely by railroads doing q large
short haul business, such as the New
passing through Boston's South sta,
ton. the busiest terminal in point of
traffic in the country, was 36S, 900 less
than in 1912. Compared with 1914
there was n falling of Of Z per cent
in the number OF those who used this
station. This traffic Is very largely
short haul and these figures may meas
ure the inroads being made by the
automobile upon the passenger bust
ness Of n Of the largest passenger
carrying railroads,

tition Of the motor car 1t IL encOur
