THE WHITE SLAVE LAW.

After long wait and the develop ment of a number of other cases, to- gether with a large amount of black mailing which was encouraged by the legislation, the Mann white slave law has at last reached the United States supreme court, through the appeal of the famous DiCgs- -Caminetti case in California. This case was brought and conviction obtained in the federal court under the Mann act. It was one of the first, if not the first to be brought under that federal law for the blocking of commerciaiized vice be- tween states. since when, other fed eral courts have taken the same view and others have held that the law was not intended to cover sucn escapades as that involved in the California case where the women were not slaves and were net bought and sold.
 Because of the opportunity which has been disclosed to those who are al ways seeking get rich quick schemes, regardless of what is Involved, many have taken advantage of the chance to inveigle people of money into com promising positions and then force them, regardless of the fact that there had been no violation of the act as 1t was intended and no commission of the crime which it was desired to stop, to hand over large sum to avoid a threatened prosecution under that law. Such a law does not of course give any justification to black mail and those who are not guilty need have TO fear but there has never theless arisen a serious question as to just how far the law was intended to go and by the decision of the court of last resort 1t will be determined how this law can be expected to be applied in the future, and what is ad- visable in the shape of new legisla- ton, if any, to overcome the divided opinion as to its provisions.

Where Death Lurks.

But it is a wonderful thing, that strip we call No Mans Land, running from the North Sea to Switzerland 500 miles. All the way along the line, day and night, without a moments cessation. through all these long months. mems eyes have been g1ar- ing across that foresaken strip, and lead has been flying to and fro over it. To show yourself means death. But I have heard a lark trilling over it in the early morning as sweet1y as any bird ever sung over an English meadow. A lane of death 50 miles long, strewn from end to end with the remains of soldiers And to either side of # all through those 800 miles, a warren of trenches, .dugouts, saps, tunnels, underground passages, in habitated, not by rabbits, but by mil lions of rats, 1t is true, and millions of. living. busy men, with countless billions of rounds of death dealing ammunition, and a complex organiza- tion as closely ordered and complete as the organization of any city in England From a British Officers Letter in the Forum.)

HOW ABOUT DOMESTIC POLL.
 GEES?

The announcement has gone forth from Washington to the effect that there will be no change in the foreign policies of the president during his second term in office. He apparently looks upon his reelection as an en- dorsement of those which he has put into effect and for that reason feels Justified in their retention.
 That being the case in regard to his foreign policies it will be inter esting to see what stand he takes in regard to domestic policies. During 4the campaign both the president and Mir Hughes were asked by the Ma tional Civic Service Reform associa- tion as to their attitude upon the question of including the postmasters cf the first, second and third class of- fees under civil service. Mir Hughes was the first to reply and he dnola~ that he favored it. Later the an- nouncement was made that Ar NlI- son had favored it, although he has shown a glaring disregard for civil service during his term in office.
 It Is not to be supposed that he se- cured his reelection on the strength of the position which he took on the matter, but that must be looked upon tneVertneleSS as one or the campaign promises regarding which he ought to be held to strict accountability, but If he plans to continue his foreign policies because he thinks they have been endorsed it is entirely possible for him to look upon his past con- duct relative to civil service as being approved and therefore calling for no change. For that reason it will be 1ntQraSfinO hn takes upon this important question.

sea ports and that which is always faced by the limitations of that sim gle track line across Siberia to vlad- <fvostok, where such quantities of sup- plies of all kinds are piled up that vessels have been denied admittance thsfe unless they possess a govern nent license.
 But in addition to this matter, Rus- sia will undoubtedly see the advisa- bility of taking some step which will meet the action of the central powers in granting freedom to the Poles. As yet nothing has been done to meet the advantage which Germany and Austria have obtained by that action. Russia has made promises. but owing to the fact that past conduct follow ing such promises has not always sat- isfied, the time is ripe for some move which will bolster them Hp and give the Russian Poles reasons for placing greater faith in Russia The czars country also has an opportunity to square itself with the Jews, so that the duma will not lack for hard nuts to crack at its present session. while the world will look on with interest to see how they are handled.

CAR SHORTAGE,

That tho situation has gotten back to where 1t was some months ago, when it was impossible to get suff1- cient cars to handle the transporta- lion demands because so many of them were tied up in freight yards or held on sidings by manufacturers who were using them for storage purposes Instead of hastening to unload them, Is indicated by the proposal that the car shortage problem be solved by revising the schedule of demurrage rates.
 This has already been tried on one or more occasions and it has borne good fruit, so that it is entirely pos sible that resort will have to be made to it again, especially. when 1t is claimed that there are many specu- lators in coal who having no place to store it are holding 1t in cars until they are ready to dispose of it. Such a situation is grossly unfair to trans portation lines, to those who are being denied transportation facilities and to the consumer who is being forced to foot the bill for all this stagnation.
 Increased demurrage might seem to be a money making plan of the rail- roads but when 1t is considered how they ere being hampered by the in ability to secure the use of the rolling etock, 1t can be appreciated that they would much prefer the use of the ears to the demurrage. The car short bge is as detrimental to them by the loss of business as it is to others and if stiffer demurrage rates would force the unloading quicker, they would ap- bear to- be. entirely justified. The problem, however, deserves to be bolved whether that is the most ad- Fisable method of doing it or not, lnd the sooner it can be done the bet Ter.

 The Associated Prcss correspondent
 had an opportunity to be in the midst of one of these movements of prepara- ton at a certain point of the French

 when the allied offensive was pushing

 In the sector he visited the French and German frst-line trenches are separated by a distance of from POO to 300 yards. Between are barbed wire entangleraents, erected at nighttime after the French had driven the Ger mans from a village ard a wood by
 surprise. The French excavated with
 great rapidity approach trenches zig
 tagging forward from fifty to eighty
 yards, where they were joined up by
 parallel trench known as the taking off parallel" From this, running still
 further out, saps were cut leading to-
 ward the German lines and these were occupied by listening patrols and armored machine gun emplac cements: From the bottom of the taking off parallel steps cut in the earth led up to the level ground. Up these the companies chosen for the assault were to spring on the signal for the depar- ture and spread out in open formation, dashing works, previously almost bat tered out of existence by the French artillery.
