Repeated trips would eventually place
appreciate reinforcements at the dis
posal of beleaguered army. But the
airplane is not yet rated as transport.
It's function is primarily that of obser-
walton. 1t is evident from this dispatch
of a fleet of planes to Bucharest that
the Rumanians are in urgent need of
air scouts. Indeed, dispatches indicate
that they were ill-equipped for the cam
paign which they so precipitously en-
tered. They have had no wire entangle-
ments and their artillery was deficient.
Without a competent air scouting serv-
ice they were at disadvantage against
the we'll organized Teutonic. armies. A
fighting force without air scouts is to-
day exposed to surprise and envelope
ment 1t was early demonstrated in this
war that the airplane has virtually re-
placed the cavalry as a means of obser-
walton. Especially since the beginning
of the trench warfare has the value of
the airplane been shown. In the long
siegeliks operations in France cavalry
has been virtually useless, while the air
scouting on both sides has been inces-
SAINT and of the utmost Importance.

Halloween Disorders.

Orders have been given to the police
to suppress riotous conduct on Hallow-
cen. This is necessary warning, as
on that occasion the children if not
| checked are apt to indulge in destructive,
harmful practices, sometimes with design
to injure Halloween is an occasion Of
pranking. for which certain degree
of latitude is permitted. The occasion
has developed from origins, which
were founded in superstitions and folk
lore. and is now a festival of fun with
little reference to the old thought un-
derlyingkhe time. Some persons idea
of fun is to annoy and harm others, and
SO children who have not been given
the proper degree of instruction are
likely at Halloween to play practical
jokes that are actually injurious and
often seriously harmful. The house
holder is virtually helpless against these
tricks and must depend upon the police
for protection. Maj. Pullman's orders
to the force are designed to check these
injurious pranks, and it is to be hoped
that the parents Of children will supple
ment the police warning with their own
admonitions that Halloween is not to be
made the occasion Of unbridled annoy
ance and injury to others.

Another Vote for Half Holiday

Secretary Bakers Endorsement of the
half holiday nearly completes the list of
department heads who have recommend
ed to the President the year-round ex-
tension of the Saturday early closing
His action, as in case of other Secre-
taries, is based upon the Endorsements
Of the plan by bureau chiefs. who. init
mately acquainted with the work Of the
clerks, are uniformly of the opinion that
efficiency will be actually promoted by
a full execution of the Saturday half
holiday law. In view of what has hap
pened in the departments already on
record, it may be assumed that those de-
partment chiefs who are yet to report viii

portance TO every worker in the depart

is no longer possible, in conditions that
obtain on battle fronts nowadays, for an
army to surge through the enemy's lines
in a torrent-ike stream, far into the
rear. The modern attacking column is
dependent upon the artillery and upon
the supply base. These cannot be moved
as rapidly as infantry can advance. The
assaulting columns may pillow ahead one
mile. or two miles, but then they must
wait for their supports. Artillery must
be brought up on rails, into carefully
chosen positions, and supply bases must
be moved by protected routes. This
gives the enemy time to assemble in
defenses. Several times in the course
of the Somme campaign the French and
British were in a position to strike
around TANKS virtually in the rear of
German outer lines. but this would have
left them exposed to counter attacks and
isolation.
One of Gen Haig's subordinate gen
erals is quoted as declaring that in his
Judgment the German line can be
broken. Evidently the question is
whether ii can he broken at any point
on a wide enough front to permit the
rapid advance of the artillery and sup

this can be done. in terrain suitable for

Breaking the German Line.

Detailed accounts of the sudden drive
OF the French at Verdun indicate plain
~ that The German offensive there had
been definitely abandoned. The effort
TO take terduu had been stopped, as
futile and the forces once ,nassed on
and behind rhe lines for the assault had
after many months been withdrawn for
use on other sectors of the western bat
lie line, probably chiefly the Somme, or
sent eastward to resist the Russian Of
feasive in Volhynia and Galicia, or to
reinforce the Austrians in resisting the
Bumanian invasion of Pennsylvania
Wherever they had been sent, it is clear
that they had been taken from Verdun
unless, indeed, the German line there
had without Withdrawals been actually
worn down by the conflict to the point
of dangerous thinness which the amazing
success of the French attack disclosed.
Judging from the dispatches it would
probably have been possible for the
French 10 have gone clear through the

Carranza and the Presidency.
This is from Mexico City

MS - from htalCu lily.
IN answer to demands made during
Il torrhlight procession held last night
by workingmcn that he declare his can
didacy for the presidency, Gen. Car
rama said he was loath, because of his
position, to accept the candidacy, as he
bad expected to turn over the govern
ment to q duly elected president. Gen.
Carranza said that he felt unworthy of
/ the honor. but if the people demanded
1t he woaid consider becoming cand;
date. He said he could assure the peo-
PIE that he would turn over the govern
ment to a president elected by the popu-
lar vote. but that if he became candi-
date and was elected he could assure
the people that the laws would be OBJ
served and tyranny suppressed"
Senior Carranza will run. Such pleas
ant Indictment to insist, to demand, will
have its effect on the people. 1t is poll
tics, and has been since the days of
old Rome. When a public man, under
discussion for an honor, declares his
unworthiness, his hearers are expected
to override him; and they always do
their duty. They never disappoint the
expectation.
And, running. Senior Carranza will be
eiected-after the Mexican fashion. No
other result will be possible. Diaz, who
controlled the ballot boxes. was always
elected. Voting against him afforded
personal satisfaction to his opponents,
but nothing else. He always led the
poll, and the rest were nowhere.
This is of interest to the American
people because when Senior Carranza
passes from the Office of first chief to
that of President of Mexico-chosen
after the Mexican fashion-he will look
to us for substantial support. Mexico
VIII need money in very large sum,
and will try to find it in this country
We shall be expected to stake her, not
only for current expenses for awhile,
but for the losses to be assessed against
her by outside powers sustained during
the long, bloody and destructive up
heaval.
VIII that support be rendered. We
should look things squarely in the face.
If Mr.. Wilson is reelected and an
other democratic Congress chosen he
viii do all in his power in aid of his
Mexican friend. He will be committed,
| and in way making it impossible for
| him to change his mind or his course
/ His recognition Of the Carranza regime
/ is nearly all there now is to it.
| The point is perfectly plain that if
| officially or otherwise, we stake the Car
rama government in the enormous
amount necessary we shall become most
/ intimately concerned with Mexican af-
! fairs. 1t will be to our material in
| terest to see. if it is in our power to
/ see, that all goes well with that gov
eminent; that it keeps its feet at home
and its newly found credit abroad. In
! o.her words, the Carranza government,
/ being our bantling, will look to US for
/ further support in times Of stress and
danger. As Mexico, politically consid-
cred, is an uncertain quantity, and az
we already have troubles enough, we
should think twice before adding to the
number.

Human Prejudice.
My favorite candidate somehow
Appeals to me with strength;
His speech is meaningfui, I vow,
No matter what its length.
And every time he lifts his voice,
Pve nothing more to say,
Than to bid all the world rejpice
While I remark, "Hooray!1
I hear the opposition talk,
With feelings just as strong.
At every speech they make, balk;
It always seems too long.
The arguments set forth anew
My feelings cannot bulge;
And when I've read the whole thin
through,
l always say, "Oh, fudge!"
