rial agencies big enough to achieve
the stupendous works required by
modern conditions at home and
strong enough to face the powerful
competition abroad.
Legislative and administrative
leaders, playing politics with that
popular sentiment, did not hesitate
TO aim at the dissolution Of all great
combinations of economic and COM
mercial forces, the suppression of
all successful, and in this age essen
tial, effort of wide scope and power
ful energy. In it's last analysis this
could mean nothing more and moth
ing less than a return to the days Of
the early stage coach, the condi-
tions of undeveloped and unused
resources, the impotent methods Of
primitive man.
Now the resolve of the American
people that complicated economic
elements and consolidated industrial
units shall be regulated beyond the
opportunity and capacity for abuse
OF individual rights is unabated. But
the popular clamor for the locking
of the effective wheels of industry is
hushed, for there is no man of nor
mai vision that does not see, after
our recent economic and financial
experiences, what this means in the
way of forfeited or limited remun-
Grafton Of wage-earners, measured
by modern standards, and sacrificed
bread and butter Of their family.
And the demagogues, only the
other day melting the people to de-
stroy at worst and hamper at best
the productive capacity of the
nation, rather than to direct and
govern it as it can be and will be
directed and governed, are vanished; ;
for that tribe can blow as cold as it
can blow hot.
So now, with this decision of the
United States district court, indus
try is at last unshackled, business is
free to take up its enterprise again
and the American people shall re-
sumo their old road to prosperity.

Yet, facing a world in arms, the
tight empires go about their bust
ness of hurling back one enemy af
ter another, inflicting fearful losses
and, of course, sustaining commen
surate ones in return. Today there
is a spirit of pessimism in England
due to the increasing impression
that England has not done all that
she should have done, and that ex.
haustion of the enemy is going tc
be a process so slow that exhaus.
tion may come the other way around
Lloyd George appeals to the work.
ingmen of Britain that the empires
destiny is with them; if they will not
produce the munitions that are
needed, the end may be disaster
England has done some things mag
nificently; but she has shown the
lack Of organization and co-ordina-
tion that is now being realized so
keenly. France has carried the
great burden Of the fighting in the
west; carried 1t without complaint;
but lately with some evidences of
resentment that her ally does not
do more. 5.
1t Is going to be a summer of ire
mendous events. Germany has
crushed Russia, and now may be ex-
pected to turn against Italy; for
there is no apparent military rea-
son to bring back the great eastern
armies to the Franco Belgian line.
A deadlock has been established
there, and the Franco British au-
thorities do not seem quite to have
realized it. They are pouring their
forces into that impossible theater
Of operations, while the Berlin staff
deserts it and turns attention to
more promising fields Of operations.
Suppose that the same tactics that
have driven Russia back, shall now
be equally successful against Italy? {?
Suppose that Roumania, hesitant,
shall play politics and keep out of
the conflict? Suppose Italy shall
go down before the combined as
saults Of Austria and Germany as
Russia has done? And after that,
imagine the solid power Of the Teu-
tonic allies hurled against that line
across France and Belgium, deter
mined to finish the work with one
huge stroke?
This is plainly enough the general
scheme Of the Berlin war office /;
there can hardly be another, unless
1t shall be varied by letting Italy
wait until after the big smash at
the west. The point is that, with
the war now almost a year old, the
Germanic powers are demonstrating
an utter disregard for prophecies of
military or economic exhaustion;
they are winning victories. 1t has
never been SO manifest as it is to-
day, that the war has a very long
way to 60 before either side shall be
victor; that its horrors may be
projected into years of the future;
that the area of conflict, the num-
Der of combatants, may yet be wide
ly extended. It is a time meet for
grave contemplation of all these
factors.

Says Excuses Of Germany Seem To
Show Unsincerity.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
What strikes me as the weakest part
Of the German attempts to excuse the
Lusitania affair Is her claim that the
Lueitania was an armed vessel of war
and that they had sufficient fore
knowledge Of the fact before the ship
sailed from New York.
International law does not allow a
ship to be manned and armed and set
sail from q neutral port. The Canadian
soldiers must have boarded the ship
at New York, which would be contrary
TO International law. Why didn't Ger
many protest to Washington at the
time, II she knew of 1t, instead of al
lowing a vessel of war to sail against
me that the very excuses they invent
are good proof Of their insincerity.

time for everybody to keep tab on it /:
February, 1915, will not have a full
moon, thing not recorded since
1866, and will not happen again,
until ., 100000 years from February.
The moon in January was full the 1st
and 30th. In March it will be full
the 1st and 30th, again, and that
cuts any possibility of February hav-
ing full moon. It is an odd COM
bination of circumstances. If there
is anything in signs, 1866 was a
peace year after big war.
