tiass cargo is contraband the vessel can be seized. Whether or not the action of the Austrian commander was based on the Frye case which vessel was sunk early in the war by German cruiser while carrying grain to Engiand. the two eases appear to resemble each other closely. and as in the first case It is probable that the owners of the American vessel will look to Austria through this government for recom- pense for the destruction of the vessel. If it is shown that the cargo was not contraband Austria will be looked to to make good for it's act in sending it to the bottom.
 The act of the commander of the Chemung and the crew in refusing to tower the Stars and Stripes and in not permitting those from the sub marine to do so stands out most prom inently as an insistence upon the rights of American vessels on the high seas. and as evidence that they were not to be forced into an abandonment thereof

GElRMIAIN RAIDS.

Every now and then there are de. fnands made for changes in the Drit- ish cabinet. For some time there has been U feeling that Baifour was not giving his country the results that were expected or that it ought to get from him as first lord of the admiraI= ty.
 Attention was called to this with new emphasis after the recent attack upon tho fortified town of Ransgats by five German torpedo boat destPey- CTS. There was no great damage done at that time since the report showed that all the enemy accomplished in that line was to drop 8 shot onto one of the drifters and get away without seeing or encounterirg rny ef the British patrol vessels or waratips ex- cept the one mentioned. It showed that there was a freedom being gisnt- ed to the German navy which ouEht not to exist and 1t of course put a new feather in the cap of the enemy for the proving of this apparent weakness In defending the coast.
 Just what this menace is eapabis of doing is shown by the more recent at. tack which has been made upon Lewe= stoft by similar craft for Germany appears to be determined to keep up the annoyance just as long as 1t can do so unchecked and every such raid gives added strength to the demand for Balfour's retirement whether such a move is founded upon goed Judgment or not. It is entirely possible that Ralfour Is doing all that anyone could but Germany is doing it's best te prove otherwise.

:. TIE CAR SHORTAGE.

In view of the handicap to business which is caused by the shortage of cars and the effect which that has upon the maintenance of~nn adequate supply of materials throughout the country, it is to be expected tilst every effort will be made to relieve the sit- uation and bring about a better dis tribution. With that object in view, and knowing from experience what trouble they have in getting cars un- loaded there could have been little surprise even among the shippers at the proposals to increase the denaur- rage rates.
 It is perhaps only natural that the shippers should object to suchta move and file a protest with the interstate commerce commission which lhAs to sanction such a change, hut when 1t Is realized that 1t is the shipper or tho one to whom goods are consigned who are using cars for storage purposes in- stead of promptly unloading them, through failure to provide quar- ters where the goods can be unloaded in addition to exiset- ing warehouses;, 1t must be appre. ciated that the movement for the In. crease in dennurrage rates Is solely for IIc PtOSCStA0if oA LHc SfiAPkrTs III BcH- eral instead of for a few as at pres- ent. l4f
 There is a lively demand for moro cars. What the railroads want ia the proper use of the rolling stock which is already available but which ia nra- vented by dilatory methods of loading and unloading. Too many consider 1t cheaper to pay the low dnmurraEe rates rather than to meet the other expense which would be required by prompt handling of consignmenta re- gardless of tho putting out of joint of the whole transportation system. It Is not the rates So much as the ears which the roads want but tho rntes appear to be necessary to bring about the prone5 enonera4faf,

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day in this country dates from the feast which was es- tablishod by the Pilgrim Fathers the year following their landing for the purpose of expressing their gratitude for the results of the harvest and the means thereby obtained for meeting the ravages of the New England wIn- ter. They had made great sacrifices that they might nave saufflcIent seed for planting and they had reason to rejoice when 1t was found that the crops had been bountifui.
 This day of thanksgiving has been regularly observed since then as a time for offering up special thanks for the many blessings that have beap re- ceived throughout the year. It is ni- ways an occasion which calls for gen. eral participation, but in this year in particular have the people of this na- ton special reason for being thant- full when 1t is realized how much more fortunate they arc than their brothers across the water. @
 Here there Is unusual industrial aa- tivity. the fruits of prosperity are he- ing enjoyed and the country Is spared the horrible resultH of armed conflict, It is therefore 0 time for counting and appreciating our blessings. but 1t Is nlso time for giving consideration to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. It Is a period which calls for more than selfish expressions of good fortune for 1t iB now that we should realize the opportunity for sharing 1t with others and do our ut- most for the relief of those in ais- tress. both at home and abroad. We, in our days of plenty, should have time to think of those in want and desti- tuition.

THE CHRISTMAS sHIP.

Last year this. country contributed much to the relief of conditions In tila war stricken countries by the faFcvis= Ions and gifts sent abroad on the Christmas ship. Since that tiaa there have been hundreds of thousands ef dollars forwarded for similar worthy work and yet the relief has not kept pace with the demands.
 This year tho United States ealliar cHesar will be the Ghristmas shin and It will go ladsaed early next month with eueh necessities as condensed milk for the children. rice, beans, wheat, aouF, petroleum. cotton seed nii, sugar, warm underwear, sweaters, shoes, stockings, blankets, shawis, eet= ton cloth and muslin for the purpose of relieving the distress which Is prs- vsiling in Syria, Armenia and Pales= tine. t4
 That such aid ia needed eaanet be questioned in view af the accounts which are sent te this eaiiaEry of tha conditions prevailing there where tha people have heeR living, in caves to escape destruction at the iaands af the Turks, where they are hunted IEke wild animals and where deatitatteH prevails generally; because of the Rel= teies of the Turkish government.
 The value of this cargo will appTs4i= mate a, quarter of q million dollars and will fail to meet all the needs Of those people, but such haie will be welcomed and will be put to the best use possible. It IS work in behalf ef humanity which Is deserving ef ail the assistance that 1t can get aTd when Turkish ideas of treating those sub= 3eets gre considered, it must be real- lEed that 1t eaa eeae none tea soon if the full purpose of the undertaking is to be aeeeuaniished,
