ALONG THE FIRING LINE

Don't get an idea that German in
dustries are at standstill because OF
the devastations of war. One of the
largest cotton-spinning mills OF Bavaria,
the Kulmbacher Spinnerei, declared
dividend for 1915 of 121a per cent, COM
pared with 10 per cent in 1914. A por-
celain factory of Ober Franken recently
handed out 10 per cent dividend for
the year, after laying aside a large
amount for reserves. The industrial
fabric of Germany is better than ever.
The efficiency which has been char
acteristic of the Germans has been
raised to the 9th power during this war,
and when it is over there will be a
great horde of men willing to 90 into
the mills at any wage. Then is the
time that this country will need pro-
tective tariff instead of the present
near-free-trade abomination.
During his imperial reign as Compt-
roller of the Currency, John Shelton
Williams has taken delight in devising
new sets of questions for the national
banks to answer. 1t is said that no two
of his calls have included exactly the
same inquiries. AS result, the banks
have been compelled to keep their
clerks working overtime-often late
into the night, to compile the desired
information. Now Williams has in
science to suggest to the bankers in
fatherly way, that they should give
their clerks a long vacation in order
that ample opportunity may be had to
check the books and accounts of the
clerks and detect irregularities. Strange
how this country ever managed to build
up a magnificent system of banks with
out Williams assistance.
President Wilson's claim that 1--WE, .
meaning the Democratic Party, have
given the country its present prosperi-
ty, is contradcted by the speech of
Paul M. Warburg of the Federal Re-
1 SERVE DOdlu VI dl DucHoS hylSs III WHICH
Warburg shows that the remarkable
transformation in business conditions
has been brought about "since the war
began. In trying to explain why
American capital has not been turning
to South America, Mr.. Warburg said
that we have been too busy with the
tremendous war orders, but he ventur-
ed the prediction that in the near future
American business men will be giving
considerable attention to South America
When the Democratic spell-binder tries
to take credit to his party for such pros
perity as we are now enjoying, don t
overlook this speech of Warburg's.
How wonderfully quiet the Democrats
are keeping over their repeal of the
free sugar clause. Why don't they
point to it as one of the great accom-
plishments of the administration? Or
are they afraid to acknowledge the con-
cession to Republican craftsmanship?
Sohn Shelton Williams telling the
bankers of the country how to run their
business is on par with a city-bred

Why Not?

1t is reported that General Carranza
has I'D his sleeve a demand on the Wilson
Administration for an indemnity Of $780,
900, 900. Well, why not?
Carranza is surrounded by able diplo-
matists who take the trouble to read the
American newspapers. They have doubt
less read the recent Shadow Lawn speech
in which Mr.. Wilson said that no loss of
American lives and no destruction Of
American property in Mexico should be
permitted to influence our government to
interfere with the righteous progress Of
the present Mexican revolution. We must
never allow the emancipation of the Mexi-
can people to be halted or obstructed by
considerations having to do with our own
"interest and convenience"
That great thought has evidently been
fermenting in the minds of Carranza's
diplomatists. Was not the Villa punitive
expedition an interference by an alien
power with the sacred processes of the
revolution? If so, should not the inter
vening power pay handsomely for a dis
service done the agents of humanity who
are conducting the Mexican uplift-and
done in plain violation Of Mr.. Wilson's
own noble principles?
The railroad brotherhoods went to Mr..
Wilson with a gigantic bluff and got ex-
actly what they wanted. Why shouldn't
Carranza fill his yawning treasury by the
same method?
No one need be surprised if he does. a
demand from him for s200,000,000 in
demnity would represent an entirely logi-
cal appraisal of the prestige which our
government now enjoys in the court of
alien opinion. 1t would show delicate
appreciation Of the Presidents well known
willingness to purchase peace at any price
in foreign as we'll as in domestic contro-
versies.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-09-11

The Tribune has received the following
letter:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: viii you please inform me through
the editorial page Of your valuable paper the
meaning Of the word operation" as used IN
Mr.. Wilson'S sop 10 the affluent, the eight
hour bill for the trainmen. ! want to kno"
just what employees on railroads come under
this act.
1t appears TO me that car inspectors should.
They are a class of labor that has the full
responsibility for the condition of every sepa-
rate car on their shoulders; the life and
property Of every traveller are in their hands.
Still they work twelve hours day, actual
work. at an eleven-hour basis every day in
the year II Mr.. Wilson is as just as he is
generous he would surely see that they were
included in the bill, particularly as they are
in numbers a small, law abiding class, with
neither the power nor the will to approach
him with club. CAR lNSPECIOf'
Williston, n. j.. Sept. 4, 1915.
Unfortunately, The Tribune is unable
TO answer that question. 1t is to be
doubted of any individual or body, short
of the Supreme Court, can furnish an an
swer. The law says that the "eight-hour
day"-that is, the pay increase-shall APP
ply to all persons actually engaged in any
capacity in the operation Of trains used
for the transportation of persons or prop
erty on railroads" But the bill was so
soppily drawn and so hastily passed that
it makes no provision for body to in
terpret that phrase. The Interstate Com
merce Commission has lodged the task.
The commission to be appointed by the
President to study the working of the law
is not specifically authorized TO say what
classes of employees shall obtain its benefits.
1t was assumed by the railroads when
the bill was being rushed through Con-
gress that it applied to the brotherhood
men only-the engineers, conductors, fire
men and other trainmen. Really, nobody
knows to whom it will apply, the railroads
as little as any one else. If the car in
spectors have neither the power nor the
will" to use a club, it is to be feared, judg-
ing by the recent course of events at Wash
ington, that they will stand small chance
of obtaining any benefits.

WORKINGS OF THE RESERVE LAW
The Case of the Banks Considered in the
Light of Recent Figures.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why do the state bankssrefuse the
oft repeated invitation to Join the feaeiai
Reserve system? Some Of them acKno"leuse
that its note-issuing powers insure stabiiity oil
financial conditions, but say they do not see
any reason for contributing toward the cost
the national banks are taking care OF 'hs''
Does not the question thus arise, what are the
national banks paying for the privilege ~
Of membership in the Federal Reserve
system and for stabilizing financial anairS
The system has taken from these CONNER
cial banks so far over $500, 100000, the larger
share Of which was income producing, so the
first cost is the loss of about O,OOVOoo per
annunn to the banks, is it not, and Is IL not
also an economic loss TO have several huhareu
millions Of dollars idle? II is admitted tna'
the country banks are suffering loss uhder
the par remittance rule-some claim ~ PEI
cent to 80 per cent of net earnings ""''
are the figures on that!
Report of the Controller Of the currency
for 1918 shows net earnings OF national oahks
about $50, 900; for 1915, S1l3,OOO'OVo' u
very large decrease-so large that no one can
blame the banks for protesting against RUE
which adds largely to the decrease of prohts,
service rendered and the doing away with
legitimate charge, can they?
What will the loss Of exchange figure
There are over 1000 country banks and some
800 or more city banks assets Of the two
classes not differing much, it should be
fair to claim that the country banks are earn
ing about one half Of the net profits, as shown
by the Controllers report, or s50,0OO,OOO to
sec. 900 900 annually. Instead of figuring ~
per cent or 80 per cent loss, suppose we call
il 10 per cent, or 100000 TO s6OOO,OOO-
would that not be fair? These losses Oh IN
terest and exchange must increase as more
money is paid in by member banks, as re-
quired under the act, and as more business IS
done through the Federal Reserve banks; and
if state banks should enter the system the
loss would double, would It not7
Under the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, which held
US safe for six years and in 1914 quoted one
of the most serious financial disturbances we
have ever had, the cost was about Sl26,OOO, or
a little over $4,000 per annum. Compare the
figures Republican ideas as expressed by
the Aldrich-Vreeland bill cost US $4,000 per
annum for term o. years. Democratic
notions. under the Federal Reserve act, are
costing US S15,000000 per annum, and more to
follow as the years roll by.
As an insurance proposition isn't the rate
far beyond reason and absolutely unneces-
sary?
Will some one tell US if the other features
of the act are so valuable for business needs
that we should continue to pay every year
10000 and more for them?

men sufficiently skilled to handle such
vessel on her arrival and assure a safe
landing. Let it be remembered that mere
score or two of trained hands would be OF
little or no use; that in bad weather as
many as two hundred or even three hun
bred might possibly be required. Where
are they to be found in this country?
In all the talk about Zeppelin service
these difficulties seem to have been over
looked. They are manifesuy formidable,
and until they are overcome it is idle to
speculate on the. radius Of action of the
latest ships. 1t is conceivable that the
most powerful could cross the ocean if the
conditions were favorable, but until prep
arations have been made for landing and
housing them it is safe to assume that the
attempt will not be made.

die quarts without increasing the tariff,
is to stimulate the sale for the larger size
loaf, which does not cost them so much in
overhead charges in proportion to its sell
ing price.
That is a sensible course, and the public
ought to be willing to accommodate itself
to it. In the change there will be oppor-
tunity for constituencies manufacturers to
attempt to cut down the weight Of the
loaves, but in New York, at least, alert
housewives can check such a move by keep
ing watch on the weight stamped on the
wrapper.

He Just Had to Run.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Let US not be too hard on President
Wilson and his Congress for recently sur
rendering legislative functions TO the railway
brotherhoods II was a political necessity.
Quite parallel is the military necessity"
under which the Germans invaded Belgium.
This latter military necessity has been clearly
recognized as legitimate by our Adminstra-
ton, since Mr.. Wilson not only refrains from
protest, but even compliments the Kaiser or
the humane and enlightened attitude Of his
imperial government in the matter of inter
national right" the influence of which gov
eminent, he says, was always engaged on the
side of justice and humanity"
Now if military necessity can write so i'm
perishable a record upon the side OF justice
and humanity as it has done in Belgium we
may rest assured that President Wilson's po-
litical necessity will ultimately inscrbe his
name also among the stars, perhaps right
along the Milky Way, as "Wilson, name to
resound forever" man who "would rather
surrender territory than surrender those
ideals which are the staff of life for the soul
itself"
The parallel between the two cases fails
only in this, that whereas military necessity
braced the autocratic Kaiser to fight, political
necessity causes our Democratic President to
rum But courage! AS Life" lately told US,
"Be who writes and runs away
" Lives 10 write another day"
TOO PROUD TO FIGHT.
