That means a total increase OF the
hourly wage rate In the Irvine mills,
from 1902 to date. Of more than four
ilfths.
The farmer has not felt the effect Of
these increases In wages for the sim.
pie reason that by improvements In
processes Of manufacture and by the
development Of efficiency in the works
the company has been able to offset
the increasing cost OF labor.
The recent rise In prices OF farm
machines was due solely to the abrupt
and unusual increase In the cost Of
raw materials used in their manufac.
ture. Material prices will doubtless

but wage increases may be regarded
"a permanent additions to the cost Of
production.

Railroads and the War Problem.

An expert railroad man. who has been study
ing the question Of troop movement, in the light
Of experience gained during the recent mobiliza-
tion says the railroads need 5000 additional pas
senger coaches to adequately accommodate a
troop movement on anything like war scale Al
present the roads Of the country have surplus
of 5000 coaches, which will serve 100000 men
under War department. specifications. All the
cars In the country would be required were il
needed to handle million and quarter men
within forty-eight hours. This gives an outline
OF the problem to be solved. Some years ago the
great governments Of Europe sent experts to
study the methods used BY American circuses in
loading and unloading, and the lessons then
learned have been Of great service in the presen,
war The United States army and the railroads

When the Deutschland Sails.

The imminence OF the departure (f it has not
already taken place. Of the submersible merchant
man, the Deutschland, brings little closer the
real crux of the application Of international prin-
-ciples OF law to its condition. It is easy enough
to treat the vessel as peaceful merchantmen, and
extend to it all protection and immunities while
in port this involves little or no stretch Of COM
ity, and amounts to only a reasonable application
Of recognized rules. When the Deutschland has
passed beyond the league of salt water that sepa-
rates our jurisdiction from the freedom Of the
seas, what OF her condition? The Entente Allies
have positively declined to admit the peaceful
status of the boat, even while in port. This means
the Deutschland will be destroyed, il possible, by
any enemy warship it may encounter.
In this event, most interesting question will
be presented to our State department. 1t has al
ready been unoficially intimated that the United
States will not undertake to follow the Deutsch-
land to sea with the protection afforded while in
our territorial waters Herr Won Jagow, foreign
secretary for the imperial German cabinet, has
been quoted as saying it is unthinkable that the
United States should take this position, in view
Of Its nsistence on the application Of the rule Of
visit and search In connection with the suspended
submarine warfare. The difficulties OF visit and
search" as between surface cruiser and a subsea
merchantmen are obvious. Equally plain is the
advantage possible to a submersible warshp un-
der the rule that permits the adoption Of any dis
guise to deceive an enemy, requiring only that
true colors be displayed at the moment Of attack.
The perplexities Of sea warfare have not been
lessened by the appearance Of the Deutschland
While Captain Koenig and his crew are natur-
ally apprehensive on beginning their return voy-
age because Of the fact that their intentions are
known, ordinary chances are in their favor, and
their safe return to Bremen is confidently looked
for. They deserve safe return. for they. have
rendered distinct service to their country, one
that is far beyond the mere carrying Of freight.

A secret democratic pact, dictated by Presi-

Baker, Is reported to decree the shelving Of
Senator Atlee Pomerene in favor OF ex-Gov-
ernor Judson Harmon, giving the federal Judge
ship left vacant by the elevation Of Judge
Clarke to the supreme bench to Pomerene as a
sop to his wounded feelings
The nomination Of Clarke is described as
the first step. in the plan. The purpose, il is
said, is to get Harmon on the state ticket and
Pomerene Off the former being looked upon as
strong politically, and the latter as weak Even
the Cox democrats, who have been avowed
enemies Of Harmon, are strongly In favor of the
plan for the sake Of party good.
But the success Of this plan hinges on the
ability of Pomerene to defeat his opponent in the
primary for the senatorial nomination, ex-Con-

leaving the democratic committee to fill the
vacancy. Harmon would then be presented.
