Send Big Force Against

London.--The German Army which
crossed the Danube at Orsoya has
joined hands with the Bulgarians, who
invaded Serbia near Prahoyo, and the
Central Powers now have an open road
through Northeastern Serbia and Bull
garia to the 4Egean Sea and CONSTANT
nople.
They are thus in a position to send
guns and munitions by river and rail.
way to their Bulgarian and Turkish
allies. who will be greatly strength
ened thereby.
Fighting Continues In South.
The invasion of the northern por.
tions of Serbia by the Austro-Germans
continues apace, while Bulgaria is put
ting forth a strong effort to secure con-
tral of additional sections of the Bel
grade-Saloniki Railway.
So far as the north is concerned,
Serbia, it is feared by her allies, is
doomed, but in the south, reinforced
by the British and French, who are
now fighting by her side, Serbia is
using all her strength to throw the
Bulgarans back After the French
victory at Krivolak the Serbians, ac-
cording to the Athens report, were
able to reoccupy Veles, an important
railway and road junction just south
of Uskup, where a big battle is still in
progress.
Reinforcements Coming.
It is argued here that If the Bull
garians can be held in the south until
Anglo-French reinforcements which
are now on the way arrive Bulgaria
may yet be robbed of Macedonia. on
which she has set her heart. But the
Allies will also have TO make an at
tempt to block the German road to
Turkey and their big attack may be
directed elsewhere.
The internal situation Of Bulgaria,
which is reported serious, may have
some effect on the campaign. A mill
tary conspiracy against King Ferdl-
nand, Athens dispatches say, has been
unearthed and the leaders have been
shot. Many Of the inhabitants Of Bull
garia are said TO be still loyal to Rus
sia and showing disinclination to join
the colors.

Champion of Neutral RIGHTS

RTJHE British reply to our protest against
Il undue interference with our purely neu-
tral commerce is 'I am sorry IL It hurts, I'll
DO It again"
England has refused to declare formal
blockade of Germany, with its attendant re-
aponsibilities, but has sought and is seeking
BY active interference and intimidation to
compel even neutral nations to join in the
boycotting Of the German Empire.
England will not. for instance, permit
italy to carry on a free trade with the United
States unless Italy gives guarantee that con-
traband shall not be shipped from Italy to
Germany. She requires the same warranties
from Denmark, Holland. Norway and
Sweden. To the neutrals of the world she
says: "You cannot buy for yourself unless
you refuse to sell to our enemies" Every
neutral must surrender part of it's sovereign
rights or be penalized in its importations. No
ship can go upon the high seas, whatever its
cargo, without being subjected to British In
spection. If the United States were q British
colony its European trade could scarcely
be held moro thoroughly under the orders
of the British Admiralty, British ships hang
outside our harbors and cannot ship
cargo of cotton to a peaceful nation until
British prodding needles have gone through
it bale by bale.
Z innocent neutral commerce mas Deen Ter
rorized. There is more than suspicion that
high charter rates are British war meas
ure and that the cost OF carriage has de-
lberately been made almost prohibitive to
assist the Allies in their effort to starve Ger
many
England has won control of the seas and is
entitled to the legitimate advantages result
ing therefrom. It would be idiocy for her
not to press them home But she must not
20 too far She must not drive neutrals out
of business. She must not paralyze the trade
OF the world She must recognize the rights
OF all neutrals of whom In this instance the
United States is the champion. She must not
forget that her embargoes can be made the
worst kind Of boomerangs II this country
desires, and that we need no battleships and
no sea control to vindicate our rights. The
United States, not England, has the whip
hand.
Sir Edward Grey does mot desire to con-
test the general principles of law" laid down
by His reply, therefore, is an expediency
plea. which recognizes fully the exigencies of
England but gives little attention to our own.
It may be assumed that Washington, while
never forgetting the peculiar conditions that
exist and the intricate problems which con-
front Europe. will nevertheless be sturdy in
fits protection OF our legal commerce. AL
ready our protest has improved the situation
somewhat, and 1t will be further improved
before the negotiations are terminated, as
they viii be. peaceabIy.

willing to Pay for what They Get

CSENATOR OLIVER says nothing new
- when he declares that the people have
to pay for steel cars, safety devices, indi-
vidual drinking cups and all this sort of
thing which the laws are compelling the
railroad companies to provide. OF course,
the people have to pay for them, and the
people are not disposed to haggle over a fair
price. They know what they wish, and they
are willing TO foot the bills. But they object
most strenuously to paying three cents for
one cents worth OF service. And they OBJ

Thrill of Industrial Revival

| TNHE pendulum is swinging back. The
Aauguries of prosperity are beginning to be
realized.
Since January the first the news dis
patches have been filled with reports of a re-
vival of industry. The railroads have been
purchasing heavily. The steel trade has be-
gun to recuperate Mills shut down for
months are beginning to reopen and run on
full time. An increase of $4,000 tons in the
untitled orders of the United States steel Cor
poration coupled with the remarkable activity
of the schwab plant at Bethlehem is indica-
tive of the new order of things.
Car shops have reopened in the West; in
Kansas and the Middle West, following the
verdict Of the Missouri electorate on the full
crew law, the roads are appealing directly
to the people and are receiving a hearing
that promises much in the Improvement of
general conditions. Orders from war-stung
Europe continue to pile in. The demand for
certain articles of clothing is unprecedented.
The cutting Off of foreign supplies, which
Is equivalent to the highest kind of tariff,
has revived the confidence Of manufactur-
ers and they are going ahead with an
assurance hitherto absolutely lacking. The
enormous profits of the wheat growers have
brought a great purchasing power into the
domestic markets, along staple lines. There
is no part of the country except the South
that is not thrilled by the go-ahead spirit,
and the ascending cotton market has ma
ter1aIly frightened the prospects of that Sec
tion.
All together now! Duck the calamity
howlerI He has served his purpose and the
country is through with him. The workers
are pressing forward to the firing line. The
wheels are beginning to hum. The buzz Of
the machinery is like music. Let Europe dig
ditohes; we have more productive work at
hand. The world wants supplies and we shall
be ready with them. There Is a new calendar
on the wall, the morning mail Is growing,
orders are coming in. Opportunity will not
get away this time The door has opened
and she is safe inside.

Mr.. Ware Follows an IlIustrious Example

TNHAT distinguished Shakespearean schol-
l. ar, Representative Ware, who is lodging
the local option Issue on the ground that it
is State question and he is national law
maker, is saying in the language of Gratiano,
"I thank thee Mr. Wilson, for teaching
that word" With so distinguished a man as
the President lodging the woman suffrage
question around the stump of State rights
we may expect to see others besides Mr..
Ware following his nlustrious example
The State leaders may say that these per-
picking questions are national issues, while
the national leaders say that the States must
settle them; and the only result of the agita-
tion is the development of a proficiency in
lodging which is the admiration of the
angels and the despair of the suffragists and
the prohibitionsts.
