Best Way to End War.

Gen. Won Ludendorf interjected:
Tell your Austrian friends that
there is only one efficient means for
ending the war-a firm will to end the
war by victory. Every soldier and all
others must work together; they must
realize that no way but war leads to
peace. Munition is not all; not gren-
AIDES, but the. morale of the troops
brings the final decision, and the
morale of the German and Austro- Hun
garian troops is superior to that of all
our adversarieS. Nevertheless, NUM-
tions mean very much in this war. At
a previous visit the field marshal told
you the main thing is discipline That
is true. Discipline is based on the COM
plete education of every individual
man"
Asked whether there was any chance
that the war would be eliminated by

7,S4S pounds.
The Jackson School again led the list,
the children there bringing in 1,7s6

the second and third places the week

The Brookland School, which was in
the list from which collections were
made Friday, but from which returns
were not available until too late for

Decision Possible Anywhere.

The correspondent asked whether in
the opinion of the chief of staff the
termination of the war was only pos
sible in the east. to which Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg replied:
People don't know what nonsense
they talk. One does great injustice
to an army commander by attributing
to him program. He certainly has in
his head plan of war-a general view
of war. But there is no prepared pro-
gram, except that one-to gain victory.
When and how that shall be done can
only be decided each moment anew on
the basis of events. Therefore deci-
sion can be looked for as well in the
east as in the west.
'1t is nonsense if they tell you that
intend to shorten my front in the
west. / never thought of it. Why
should 1 do it? The front in the west
stands as firm as a rock, and II our
enemies by gigantic use of artillery
mere and there gain a little terrain
they shall never break through. In
order to do this they would still have
to attack for thirty years, provided
they had enough men,"

End of War Wished For.

This interview with the chief of
taft was given out today by the Over
seas News Agency for publication. The
story continues:
The correspondent, in turn, reported
to Field Marshal Won Hindenburg on
the general feeling in Austria-H Hun
gary, declaring it was one of conf
dence and satisfaction. but that, as
everywhere, the end Of the war was
wished for. The field marshal replied:
THAT we all wish; understand this
well. The Austro-Hungarian people
have accomplished their full duty dur
ing this war and have made all the
heavy sacrifices which were necessary.
But still new sacrifices must be made,
lest those already made have been
m da in vain {"

Managers Gratifed.

The fact that the number of papers
collected is increasing is highly graft
flying to those in charge. This increase
in totals, however, is due to the par
ticular zeal which seems to be dis
played in some schools. as in a number
of others the amounts have decreased

continued:

and as bad as the former. The main
quality of the Russian soldier is blind
obedience. He makes no progress of a
military kind: only the Russian ar

Russians Becoming Exhausted.
As to whether the Russian masses
shall be exhausted, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg replied:
= ''They are already becoming so: the
Russian army commanders have charg-
ed themselves with that. There is no
doubt also that new masses will grow
up in Russia. Btt that makes no diner-
ence. We. too. have enough men. Ger.

in Austria Hungary the reserves are by
no means exhausted. We never were
afraid of the Russian numerical

periority''

LOREE An THE AnAMsnN LAM.

VXTHEN L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware &
w Hudson Company, sent in his enrolment to the
Hughes National College League he promptly
asked for his definition, railroad man, Of the
Adamson Law. In reply he referred to his recent
statement before the Senate Committee Interstate
CoWmerce, which he declared the proposals Of tho
eq4 railroad broherhoods to he IAN effort to obtain

ing limitation which has support popular
opinion upon the hours daily devoted to labor. but

in order to increase these higher incomes.
"The trainmen have adopted for their demand the
misleading designation Of the Eight-Hour Day. 30 he
said for the that the principle the eight

msts and philanthropiss and because it has seemed
10 them that under cover Of a popular designation
they could obtain sympathy Of the public increases

The trainmen neither wish 10 extend their hours
in the numerous cases in which they receive days

which they paid for than full day. or would

These financial resources are active
competitors Of the United States. Not
until similar resources are available
to this country can there be any hope
of permanent diversion of British
trade in South America. So long as
the war continues the United States
will be able to supply the goods which
British interests temporarily are pre-
vented from supplying. but when
British energy is again turned wholly
toward trade Great Britain's actual

british INVESTMENTS.

From the Washington Post.
One of the lessons which the United
States has learned as a result of the
European war is that foreign trade
cannot be secured merely by the su-
periority Of products or low prices OF
even expert salesmanship. In most
foreign countries, especially in the
fields which offer such large op-
portunity for trade, salesmanship
must be backed by financial facilities
In most of the South American coun-
tries 60 and 80 day credit is an es-
sential in getting business.
The American International Corpor-
alton, which was established about a
year ago for the purpose OF stimulat-
ing American investment in foreign
enterprises as a means of building
up commerce, was born Of the knowl-
edge that without adequate financing
American trade abroad could hardly
be expected to progress much further.
While trade may or may not follow
the flag. it certainly follows invest
ment, and the American International
Corporation has served the double
purpose of encouraging the invest
ment of American capital abroad and
at the same time furnishing financial
facilities for the transaction Of Amer
ican business abroad.
The railroad in China which is to
be financed by American capital
through the American International
Corporation will require millions Of
dollars worth OF supplies. II Amer
leans are in control of the projected
railroad il is safe to predict that
many large orders for supplies will
come to the United States.
The United States cannot become a
permanent leader in world trade
without such financing Great Brit
aims lead was obtained by reason OF
her possession Of unequaled financial
facilities. She has no less than $3.50
100000 invested south of the Rio
Grande and in the West Indies. In
Latin America she has $500, ,000, 900

than 800 organizations, representing
some 100000 firms and individuals
truly a substantial portion OF the
business life OF the nation. Yet 1t is
a notorious fact that the expressions
on economic problems made by this
National Chamber, through referen-
dunn votes or through the medium OF
properly accredited committees, have
repeatedly been ignored by the Admin
stration: indeed. in at least one in
stance, were made the object of a
virtual insult II is only reasonable
to believe that if the representatives,
Of some 400 900 members of organized
labor are to be allowed TO influence
and direct the course of legislation,
the representatives OF 10000 busi-
ness men and business firms should
be heard with equal willingness and
respect.
Organized business made its appeal
in the railroad matter to the Admin
istration and TO Congress several
weeks before the appeals of the rail
road managers and of the railroad
brotherhoods were made. Organized
business did not gain its requested
hearing at a time when it was in a
position to assist in solving an al
ready desperate problem: at no time
did il attempt to dictate. Organized
labor. on the other hand. was heard,
was allowed to dictate. at the eleventh
hour. Il is impossible to escape the
conclusion that had all interests been
met four square by the Administra-
tion. the results would have been bet
ter; certainly less humiliating.

A FEW THINGS WHICH MR..
HUGHES WOULD HAVE DONE

From the New York Sun.
Charles Evans Hughes would have
appointed a capable Secretary Of State
instead of a Bryan.
Mr. Hughes would have secured the
lives and property of Americans in
Mexico, instead OF waging war on
Huerta and sacrificing American lives
at Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Hughes would have said strict
accountability" and no Bryan would
have been ready to assure Ambassa-
dor Dumba that we didn't mean It,
When the Imperial German Embas'
sy printed in the newspapers a warn
ing 10 Americans not to exercise their
right to travel on the high seas Mr.
Hughes would have sent for the Ger
man Ambassador and notified him
that the threat to imperil American
lives must be disavowed. or we would
instantly sever relations with Ger
many.
Mr.. Hughes would then have been
at the precise point which Mr. VII
son eventually reached. But It took
the sinking of the Lusitania and the
loss OF over a hundred American lives,
and fifteen months filled with subse-
quent sinkings and losses of other
American lives, to get Mr.. Wilson
that far.
When Mr.. Wilson finally told Ger
many that submarine murder must
cease. II ceased. When Mr.. Hushes,
at the mere threat to sink the Lusi-
tania. had told Germany that murder
must not occur. It would never have
occurred
That is what Mr.. Hughes would
have done"
