An Unexpected Change.

Detestable as the war censorship may appear
to neutrals who are hungry for authentic infor-
nation regarding the progress of the struggle, it
must admitted once for all that as an adjunct
OF the military equipment on both sides these
bureaus OF mystihcation have proved to be most
efficient. 1t had long been the boast of the news
paper worfda that in the modern evolution of
journalism such result as the foreign censors
have achieved and are continuing to achieve
would be practically impossible The seal which
these gentlemen have put firmly upon news
from the front for the past two years has shown
the worthlessness of the claim.
AS for the profession formerly known~ss war
correspondence-it is more! The old-time
typical war correspondent has been put out of
business by the effective machinery whose out
put is silence concerning all matters relating to
war movements and the conduct and progress of
military activity. Instead of Get the news" the
editorial command has been modified into Get
what the censor will permit"
And what the censor will permit is a paucity
OF actual news, but an occasional inspired and
apparently frank statement from high authority.
Such was the recent dispatch sent from Ger
many by the correspondent of New York news
paper, which set forth in all its grimness the Teu-
tonic viewpoint the authorities of the central
powers wished it to appear to the American pub
le 1t told confidently of mastery defense. a
carefully-mapped-out terrain in which every
work of the enemy is located, thin system of
trench defenses, with heavy reserves Immediately
within, and finally, in the possible event Of the
breaking OF the line, complete barrier of emer-
gency works, forming an mpenetrable fortress
which has been in course of construction ever
since the war began.
All this minuteness of detail permitted by the
censor" was not intended to frighten the enemy.
to reveal to the entente leaders the magnitude of
the task they had elected to perform. 1t is
news made in Germany" for the American mar
ket especially. And those who offer it so freely
and so confidently know so little of the American
brand of intelligence that they believe it will be
accepted as gospel truth The American public
is willing to confess that the censorship has kept
and is still keeping it in ignorance of the real
situation abroad, but it disclams the mental den
sity which is implied by the issuance of these
inspired messages from either side of the great
controversy

Wilhelm and Prinz EiteI Frederick. The
village was built by the interned men
themselves on a piece of land that the
navy authorities set aside for them for
purposes of exercise. The village ie just
abreast Of the wharf at which the cruis-
ers lie. Part of 1t nestles against the old
wall which formerly shut in the navy
yard. Most Of this wall was torn down
when the government bought the
Schmoele tract and added hundreds Of
acres of land and water front to the
naval reservation.
Eitel Wilhelm is distinctly German in
every sense, not only in the type OF
architecture, but in its trim orderliness
and in the activities OF the place. 1t is
piece of Europe planted in Portsmouth.
There are flowers in the door yards.
graVeled walks, trim lawns-all on a tiny
scale-chicken yards, rabbit hutches, ken
nels. dove cotes. and nesting houses
for the pesky English sparrow. The sail
ors don't know II is the English sparrow,
but II they did, il would be all right. The
birds would be just as welcome.
The village houses are brightly painted.
and the matter of paint is said to have
been the only expense incurred by the
inferred men in the construction of their
village. There was a story to the effect
that they sCraped the paint off their YES
sells and reground it. using it to paint
their houses. but the fact that the
cruiser Eitel is a rusty black and the
kronprinz dingy gray. while the colors
of the village emulate the rainbow, puts
a crimp in that story.
Around each village is q picket fence
of the neatest design and workmanship.
Many OF them have gardens, with cab
bages. onions. corn. lettuce, and beets
flourishing. Others have miniature chick
en- farms and ducks and rabbits
also are raised.
The sailors spend their spare time in
these houses. smoke there and spin yarns,
but as matter OF fact, there has here
tofore been little time for idleness. The
sailors have been too busy building.
Among the principal structures Of the
tiny German village are a church. a
windmill. telegraph office a police sta
ton. a mayors office. a marriage license
bureau, Villa HindenbUrS, Villa Emden.
Villa Karlsruhe, Villa Eintracht and a
gymnasium.

Operating Deacit.

The above parallel tells the story of the
American Locomotive Company for two sue
eessive fiscal twelve months ending June 80.
One year psuper; next year prince. 1t was
dullness accentuated by the war in Europe that
made the first year so poor and it was shell
contracts that swung the pendulum the other
way. But while this spread between poverty and
riches was wider than often occurs ups and
downs are typical of the locomotive business
net earnings of $233I,oo448 In the very next
year, 1928, this figure to $6S26,48363-
almost triple. The next year, IoI3-I4 net earn
ings dropped again to $2,562 25I.6o, falling off
Of 62 per cent. The annual report for 1oI4-1s
said: "The productive operations of the company
as whole averaged for the year about II per
cent of capacity and at times ran as low as 8
per cent of capacity"
The locomotive business as whole shows
similar extremes. The same is true of car build
ing The ups reach dizzy heights and the downs
dismal depths.
Where this zig-zag chart of industrial ac-
tivlty PInches cruelty is upon labor. Eght-hour
days and labor-union scales of wages are deaa

the problem is not how many hours or how
much pay, but any work at all. Many hundred

tracing permanent obligations upon the basis

prosperity which they were enjoying would last

1t is the conviction of many thoughtful per-
sons that regularity of employment for labor

OF the causes for ups and downs in business
They would put the railroads in position when
their earnings fall off to buy boldly for such
future needs certain. When times were
flush they would, of course, not have to buy so
much as is now customary at such periods
This would be the effect, though not the ef-

grcss will be asked to consider next winter.
Congress, It is urged, should declare it the pol

facilities and development of new territory that
is put forward the reason for STRENGTHENING
railway credit; but as matter of fact credit
rests surplus and it is the lack of surplus that
makes railroad managers too timid to buy when
business is poor and labor in greatest straits for
employment.
The most needy beneficiary of strength
ening of railway credit is the wage worker The
law does not make it anybody's business in the
government to strengthen railway credit and thus
enable the railways to keep general employment

Trumpeter Sergt Loveless' rcgimental

other day while sitting in front of his
tent
The reglmental STAFF officers looked like
the crew OF a Cape Cod fishing smack
when a consignment of sHckers and
weather, arrived in camp the other day.
All of the officers Immediately tried the
new clothing on. An ex-navy man, who
happened to be sent with a message to
Col. Glendie B. Young just at that time,
was heard to say, Aye, aye, Cap" as
he saluted and marched off.
Chauncey Winstead has been promoted
from sergeant in Company to bat

Robert Bacon is reported to have announced
that he will base his fight for the Senatorship
from New York on preparedness including ad-
vocacy of universal service. His opponent, Will
lam NJ. Calder asserts that if Mr.. Bacon has
other issue he should withdraw from the
race Calder asserts: my record shows
that have been more ardent and energetic than
Mr.. Bacon in advocacy of army and navy
that would guarantee the country from foreign
aggression" This statement seems to forecast
the same kind of confusion in issues that is ap-
parent in the national campaign The kind of
preparedness that Mr. Calder says he has advo-
Gated, IAN army and navy that would guarantee
the country from foreign aggression" is the
kind that almost everybody has favored for a
long, long time. Whether we ever will build up
such army and navy without universal service
is question upon which only experts like Mr..
Gardner and Mr.. Bacon should give opinions.

The death knell of twilight sleep has ap-
parently been sounded. --.
Not many months ago newspapers and maga-
zines in all parts of the country were devoting
columns and columns to discussions of the new
Freburg method of painless childbirth and many
of the most famous hospitals began experiment
ing with the treatment. Women formed Twilight
Sleep Clubs and listened to lectures and the
whole nation took courage to hope that at last
the pangs of motherhood had been overcome by
science.
As the months slipped by, twilight sleep
gradually became less talked about and within
the last few months but little has been heard OF
It. In small dispatch from Baltimore
4 few days ago the announcement was made that
Johns Hopkins Hospital had thrown twilight
sleep on the medical junk pile. later dispatch
from New York stated that practically all the
hospitals there had discontinued experiments with
the Frieburg method.
The news that twilight sleep has gone the
route OF that other famous German discovery
turtle serum for curing tuberculosis, will blast
the hopes of women in all parts of the nation
and again teach faddish America a well-needed
lesson. II is not to be expected, however that
we have heard the end of twilight Sleep 1t has
been discTedited, but not eradicated.
