Attention w. c. T. U.
~ (Troy Times.)

\ England cannot quite bring itself to the point of enforcing prohibition. Loyal subjects are initiating the exam pie of King George and refraining from the use of intoxicating liquors, but it seems very hard to break away completely from bibulous practices. A London dispatch in discussing the sit uation remarks: "It has we'll been said that you cannot make a nation sober by act of parliament, and the same holds good of example, even the example of the highest in the land. There never has been chance of pro- hibition.'' But there is ray of hope in the direction of "soft drinks which shall be palatable. It is remarked that one obstacle in the way. of popularity for temperance beverages in England is that such drinks there for the most part are very unpalatable. Here seems to be a great opportunity to combine
 moral uplift with profit. Let some ons invent q '.soft drink" which will

Future of Air Fleets.
Bridgeport Farmer.)

The submarine nas fully Justified the faith placed in it by intelligent laymen, and has as fully refuted the contention of hide-bound professional naval men, that it would be of little value.
 The airship and the aeroplane have, not yet measured up to what the laity expects of them. The air craft have proved useful for scouting and obser- vation purposes, but have not demon strated the offensive military values that is believed to exist in them.
 The airship is younger than the sub- marine It is so young that it's full growth may not be reached during this war. Let decision be reserved. There is yet time for battle between an air fleet and water fleet, and 1t is yet possible for air craft to appear in larger offensive operations than any yet witnessed. 6

that even the commander who en- gineered the sinking did not anticipate that II So many lives Would be lost Every one, We venture even the Ger mans was surprised that the boat went down sso quickly and the fact that she had been allowed to ap- proach to within ten miles of land is reason to suppose that it was thought that the boat would float long enough to allow the passengers to get to land. The argument that submar- ines were present to keep any assis- tance from the stricken ship of course contreverts this if 1t is true.

Churchill and the Fleet.
(New York Press. ) :

At this particular moment nothing could be of greater import to Great Britain and scarcely anything of more interest to all Europe than. the resignation of Lord Fisher from his post of First Sea Lord of the Admir- alty because he and the First Civilian Lord of the Admiralty have nat been able to work together, this change carrying with it a reconstruction of the British cabinet.
 Winston Churchill is charged with having run the navy after the man ner of landsman and in conflict with the opinion of the Sea Lords

this aggregated obligation of s4s,- 900, 100000, together with the pen- sions and other financial burdens of the struggle.
 The default, he says. if 1t occurs. will probably come about in much the same way as in the French Revo1u- ton. Fiat currency will be issued. It will be made legal tender in
 payment of publics and private debts
 and will gradually depreciate in value
 so that the debt, instead of being
 amoritized by direct taxation, will be
 absorbed in the diminished purchas-
 ing power of the money in use.
 This process has, he says, in fact,
 already commenced. Gold is at a
 premium of about 13 per cent. in Ger many, II per cent. in Italy, 5 per cent. in France, and although specie pay ment is nominally maintained in Eng. land, the price of sterling exchange :n New York means that it costs about 1 1-2 per cent. to convert British bank credits into gold.
 One result of inflating, he includes would be higher wages for the work ing classes and increased cost of pro- duction, so that America would have less cause to fear from the competi- tic~ abroad. M s
 Another result of imitation, in the countries adopting it, is to advance the cost of commodities. It seems probable, therefore, that in addition to the higher wages that will prevail as result of the European imitation existing and in prospect, higher prices for commodities will be established; and the second reason for American fear of European industrial compeu-' tion will be thereby eliminated For their ability to continue fighting he says, "the belligerents are now largely dependent upon the things they can buy in the western hemisphere. For these things they can pay only by the negotiation of loans in this coun- try. If they further deplete their supply of gold, their whole credit fabric will topple. If, on the other hand, American bankers and inves- tors conclude that European promises to pay are no longer to @b be relied upon, European ability to buy here will be at an end and the war will stop."

If the capitalized loss of life is in- cluded the estimate becomes s45,- FAC, ,000. 900.
 Lloyd-George, in his budget speech. estimates that the national debt of England, which in 1914 was $3,475,- 900, 900, and is now we'll over $5,000,- 000,000, will, before long, have dou- bled, over peace figures. The public debt of the belligerents' before the war was $22,300, 100000. It is generally estimated that the debt will have dou- bled by July 31, reaching the figures of around $45,000,000. Facing the figures of this enormous burden, Mr. Theodore Price, in the Outlook, dis cusses the question of whether or not the $50, 100000 people of Europe who, if the war lasts only a year, will find themselves burdened with this stag gering debt, will follow some notable examples in past history and repudiate it.
 He estimates that this population earned before the war, above national taxation, about $57 per capita per year, out of which they had to nAy living expenses. He asks whsther this population which found it, diff cult enough to subsist on $57 pc cap- ital before the war and will be ter ribly impoverished at its close, will or can be compelled to stand up under the taxation neces- sary to support and gradually retire

TRIBUTE TO LATE M. 7 E EDITOR JOHN O'NEILL
i. Mir. O'NeiIl.
 (Catholic Transcrfpt.)

SCathollc Transcript.)
 The death of Editor John o'Neill Of the New Britain Herald inflicts a sudden and severe loss on his native city. He was tireless in the works of his vocation, and by incesant labor developed into strong and recog- nized craftsman. His heart was in New Britain and it's citizens. They found in him a wise counselor and an unfailing friend. He was honest to the point of perfection. His career was, built on hard work. square deal ing, and conscientious devotion to that which his heart dictated and his good sense approved. It is seldom that the noble and saving qualities the qualities which one would wish at the hour of death to have possessed and developed in an eminent degree are accorded to any public man with such unanimity of judgment. New Britain recognized his worth and wisely sought to profit by his gifts and bis attainnents. He was public spirited to degree and in every question of moment willingly gave to his city whatever of sagacity and fore sight he possessed. The people. ir- respective of party or creed, felt that they had in him a sane advocate and a man tirelessly devoted to the public veal It need not be said that this wise and useful citizen was true to himself, attending scrupulously to the things which bore directly and i'm mediately on his own personal and eternal welfare. He was an edifying member of St. Mary's parish. The honors paid to him this morning within the sacred walls where he had so often worshipped are but the duties which the Catholic church feelsN that she owes to faithful stewardship and to a life of unfailing probity.

SOUTH AMERICAN MARKET.

Delegates to the Pan American fi- nancial conference which is to open in Washington, D. C., next week have expressed themselves in favor of the direct exchange between the United States and South Amrican countries It is expected that result of the conference will be the establishment of such an exchange. The benefits to be derived by this country by such an act assuredly would be enormous if in nothing else than the develop ment of the South America market. The primary importance of the step is to allow the investment of our money in the southern countries. At the present time the settlemen of all balances are made through London The war has made of this an extreme ly hard proposition and the lack of funds has severely handicapped the development of the railway and street railway systems for instance. The investment of American capitol in these enterprises would mean req sonable rate of interest for surplus funds in the first place. In the second place where our money is our prod ucts will go. The United States Is well able to meet competition in the manufacture of articles needed for the furtherance of street railways and so forth. Provided that its money is making possible the use of this equip ment and creating the demand for it it is only reasonable supposition that our goods will be used.
 The demand for the larger equlp- ment will be followed by better means of financing and the smaller market will easily trail in the wake.
