THE PREPONDERANCE OF MUM.
TI0NS.

! The entente allies have been working
for two wears, approximately, to be able
to match the central powers in the out,
put OF munitions Of war; and they have
apparently succeeded. The latter part OF
June the signal was given for the great
Joint offensive on the various fronts
showing that Great Britain, France, Rus
STA and Italy felt they had come to the
point Of superiority in shells and smaller
missiles. Those four nations are throw
ing more shells than their enemies at the
present time, the British and French in
particular far outmatching the Germans
on the western front as regards the mum
Der of shots fired. Ever since this war
started the advantage has been on the
side Of the forces having the most big
guns and the greatest amount of mate.
rial to shoot from those big guns Now
that the preponderance apparently is on
the side Of the entente allies, it may con
fidently be expected that from this time
forth the entente allies will do their full
share OF the driving. Their superiority is
not, however, entirely confined to NUM-
tions it is certain that they have been
conserving the human resources to such
an extent while the Germans were ham
mering at Verdun, the Austrians ut Italy
and the Turks at the Russian invaders
that their total in men is quite a bit
greater than the total which the central
powers are able to muster, particularly
as Russia has a tremendous number of
people from which to draw for soldiers.
In the light Of those conditions it il rea-
sonahle to suppose that the forcing Of
tho war will be done by the members of
the entente alliance albeit it must not
be expected that Germany will be con
tent to remain quiescent all the time.
Germany has a great deal of fight still
left in her great fighting machine and
however much progress the allies may
make during the next few weeks and
months they will know that they have
been in real warfare.

taken place there. might have stood to
gain something like 100000 by Mrs
Green's death, which on the whole
would have been but meagre return
for the public protection and advantage
which Mrs. Green enjoyed in the accu-
mutation OF the enormous amount repre-
scented by her wealth. 1t is possible,
however, that the state will still have
something to say about that. as the
funds are no doubt largely in the keeping
of New York financial institutions, and
the law provides that any person shall be
deemed resident of New York if he
or she shall have dwelt or lodged in the
state during the greater part of IL con-
secutive months in the "a months pre-
ceding his, or her death. Let US hope the
state will be able to prove that resi-
dence.
While no one in this country seriously
questions the right Of any person to dis
pose of his property according to his own
wish it is undeniable that there is
growing sentiment in favor of some sort
of return to the public of a. share Of
vast fortunes that have been accumulat
ed under the public's protection The
enormous requests and gifts while living

by such men as Peabody Rockefeller.

Have the People an Interest?

Mrs. Hetty Green remained to the
last, as is now apparent from the publ
cation of her will, very much afraid that
someone except herself would get some Of
her money. She seems to have left moth
ing to charity or any public purpose
and as closely as she could she kept all
her wealth in the hands of the children
of her body, who were the nearest thing
to herself that she could find. Her SON
in-law is muniicently awarded S., 900 out
of her $l00,o00.000 for his magnanimity
in waving all claim upon his wife's es-
tate. The filing of the will in Vermont,
where there is no inheritance tax, was
intended to prevent any share of the
vast estate from going to public use
through the tax law of the state of New
York. That state if the transfer had

CURRENT COMMENT
The English Offensive.

After watchful waiting for almost two
years, the great allied offensive has at
last begun. 1t will prove as abortiye
as its forerunners. They may break
through several lines of trenches. but no
one seriously believes that they will
succeed in their efforts to drive the Ger
man hosts from either Belgium or
France. The allies attempt to storm Ger.
man positions will cost the aggressors
appalling hecatombs of men. At present
only the upper classes in England have
fully felt the burden of the war; before
the allied offensive is turned back, every
family in England viii have its share
IN sorrow and in tears. At the same
time Germany is continuing her progress
in Nerdun and in Russia. We do not
believe that the allied offensive will long
delay the fall Of Nerdun. Verdun would
have fallen before this, if Germany were
not so economical of the lives OF her
sons. She has learned the lesson of
wasting ammuntic. and sparing men.
This method is slow, but it is more sat
isfaetory than a quick gain at too great
price. With the breakdown of the
allied offensive, the tremendous losses
of English lives, and the fall of Eerdun,
peace will at last be in sight The Rus.

standstill. History will repeat itself.

recognition of this sentiment The pub,
lie long since began to ask, with Able
Raynsl-quite illogically, perhaps, bui
somewhat insistently: Can man who
is dead have any rights? By ceasing ia
exist has he not lost his powersf" The
state does not ask that disturbing ques.
ton The dead hand retains its power
by reason of the general and proper re-
speet for the essential rights OF property
But the state has a distinct tendency
nevertheless. to remember, in its owr
behalf, the maxim of Mirabeau: "Pri
vate property is goods acquired by virtue
of the law. The law alone constitutes
property, because it is only the politica,
will which can effect the remuneration o.
and give common title, q guarantee
to the use of one alone" The example
of the great benefactions, all OF which
have recognized the obligation of the
gver to remember the rights of all, ha.
strengthened this feeling in the Unitto
States. Tho opposite example which is
contained in the will of Mrs. Hetty Greer
may strengthen it still further.-Boston

If Vermont should get the puny sum

estate, New York state would stand to
lose 100000; and if New York should
win out in the impending contest with
the estate, Vermont would lose the pal

while for Vermont to fight over the
amount which it would be likely to re-
ceive. New York cannot well afford to
let its opportunity slip by. The probable
contest would hinge on the question ii

Unless at the next meeting the

attend were plain discouraged. They
did not conceal that face; they were
disappointed and they showed it.
1t was finally agreed to adjourn sub.

will confer with the members and see
whether or not any interest can be

There were few members present
after waiting nearly an hour after the
appointed time to convene. The sit

meeting had been set for final organ

were to elected and a veterinarian
employed, but the members were no
present; they did not even send ex
cuses. 1t was seen that 1t would b.
futile to organize under the circum
stances, so the members reluctantly
even sadly, reached the conclusion
that an adjournment was inevitable.
