anticipated at the outbreak of hostlll-

Italy's entrance into the war, the
secretary explained, makes 1t certain
that past figures will be exceeded.
Redfeld's report was the only bit OF
silver lining inside the clouded inter

ported the issuance by his department
OF another neutrality proclamation,
this time addressed to Austria ana
Italy and the preparation for issuance
within the next few hours OF similar
proclamations between Germany and
Italy and Turkey and Italy.
He told the president also OF the
meat packers plight as the result OF
the British action in holding up Amer
lean commerce. While he was ex-
planning to his chief the situation al

selves and their attorneys were clos

The Year Just Begun.

Every unkind thing has been said about the
year of grace 1914 that can be said. 1t deserved
no less. If ever a year will pass into history as
a black one, a storm cloud along the centuries,
1914 must bear that fate. It witnessed the
mightiest eruption Of hate, the largest outburst
of evil passions, the world has ever known.
Is 1915 to be the year Of Peace--the date TO be
remembered by schooboys for centuries to come
as that Of the signing Of the greatest covenant
Of progress thus far written by man? Is it to
be as white and shining as 1914 was black and
hopeless? The prophets have not spoken, and
they would have scant hearing if they did speak.
Faith in everything human is at a discount at
present, and few Will care to rely on a future by
whatever expert painted. The bulk of military
opinion probably sees little chance for 1915 to
improve on its predecessor 1t seems all too likely
20 witness day after day Of continued slaughter,
nfntesimal gains and increasing suffering
The lot Of this country is peculiarly fortunate,
in one way; less blessed in another. We are
spared the horrors Of war, its devastations, its
crimes; but we lack also its inspiration, its un-
selfshness and grandeur. If we manage to live
along at half speed in comparative comfort, let
us not forget that missing altogether the
spur of great national endeavor and sacrifice We
escape the waste of battle, but are we alive TO our
duty toward the destruction found in peace? We
have drifted into a winter Of starvation ard hard
ship, for example, with little or nothing done
toward meeting its needs. We have felt the call
Of a war-stricken country an ocean away more
keenly than the needs Of our neghbors. That is
scarcely a matter for blame. 1t is the way Of
human nature. But must it always be the way
of this nation of human beings? Cannot we take
the coming year with its gift of days from the
gods that are and apply some of the inspiration
of a great war to the works Of peace? Instead of
drifting along contentedly in the relative quiet
Of our aloofness, cannot we feel some Of the
quickened emotion that fights in the trenches of
Europe and devote il to our own national life?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-01-01
The Government as Ship Owner.

The need Of American ships is urgent, and 1t
is extremely unfortunate to find the admlnistra-
TONS measure of relief taking the form which it
does. Mr.. Wilson in his message used language
which every one could approve. lie appeared to
advocate government owned lines solely as an
emergency measure, TO develop routes like those
to South America which have never been ade-
quately supplied with vessels for American use.
The parallel cited of our first transcontinental
railroad made this position clear.
But neither the bin approved by the majority
of the Senate Committee on Commerce nor the
words used by Senator Fletcher in reporting the
measure conform to this purpose The bill Is
broad enough to permit the government to go into
the shipping business on any routes, regardless
Of special needs Under it the commission in
charge could organize routes to Europe OF to any
other adequately supplied part of the world. The
one great and urgent demand is for carriers to
South America, and the bin ought to be restricted
to this specific purpose.
Equally to be regretted with the loose character
Of the legislation is the inaccurate language Of
Senator Fletcher in drawing a supposed COMPARE
son with the governmental control of railroads.
Government shipping he asserts to be the only
method by which we can exercise over seagoing
rates the control which we have adopted with
regard to carriers on land. 1t is extremely hard
to see why, if we had privately owned ships, we
cosld not regulate them exactly as we regulate
our railroads. The real trouble is Of course, not
that we cannot control our ships, but that we
have not got the ships to control. The Fletcher
bill is a short and dangerous cut toward result
which could Je far better reached by the stimu-
lation of normal business enterprise. It's method
should be used where absolutely necessary and
nowhere else
