LABOR KNOW NO HPYHEN.
Philadelphia Ledger.)

In the whole unsavory business of strike buying there has been one re- deeming feature-the patriotism of American labor, union and non- union. There have been several strikes in munition factories, but they are only such strikes as naturally come In a period of exceptional activity. The foreign agitation has signally and ig- unanimously failed.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has said that plots to foment strikes among longshoremen, munitlon workers and others were known to him. He knew also that "the corruption influence was being conducted by agents of a for eign government" In the face of this, President Gompers was willing to rely on the honesty of American labor. His trust was we'll founded.
 The offers made to workingmen were liberal. The arguments adduced were of a sort that have turned many sober minds. Yet American labor has remained faithful to itself and to it's country. It knows no hyphen and needs none.

HAY HASTEN PEACE.
Seattle P.-I.)

The present tremendous exertions made by the armies of the allies to press back the German lines in France and Belgium will encourage the end ing of the war, whether or not their hopes are realized. Intrenched armies at stalemates are capable of sustaining war for a long time. This has been the condition in the west for many months.
 In the face of the artillery defenses, the complicated lines of irftrenchment, the poisonous gases. the entangle- ments and the permanent strength given to the German positions by months of prepartion, it is a heart breaking task for the allies to attempt. It is doubtful if mere flesh and blood. even though inspired by the highest courage may prevail over these hand icaps. That portions of the German line have been forced back, even g. few yards, is testimony enough to the valor of the attacking armies.
 A dreadful toll of life Is being taken. out of all proportion to the importance of the results achieved. Following along this line, the war would be fore nd to a conclusion in a few months through sheer exhaustion and decima ton of the armies.
 It is evident that the long delay Is over; that the British army now has it's needed men and munitions; that the great forward movement scheduled by Kitchener for last May is now in progress Human life is being sacri. feed at prodigious rate.

LEND ME A BILLION.
(New York Sun.

Here is borrowing absolutely without precedent. Never in all the world nor in all financial history has one nation been asked, merely in the way of busi- ness to find so much money all at once for other nations so that the borrow ITS may trade with the lenders. The only doubt even suggested relates to the possibility of agreement on terms and methods.
 American finance has more than once startled the world by manifesto tions of resourcefulness and courage. There has never been a more marvel= ous exhibition of the economic power of the United States than that which these foreign loan negotiations af- ford When all has been said that can be said about our interest in providing the stupendous credits sought for for eign customers of our industries, and when all allowance has been made for the circumstance that the proceeds of the proposed loan are to be made avail able in the shape of exported goods and commodities. there remains the

However, fortune then. as now, was
