THE RAILROAD STRIKE SlTUA.
TION

The reassuring statements that
have BEEN given to the public, fol-
lowing conferences between Presi-
dent Wilson and Judge Chambers, of
the Board Of Mediation and Concilia-
tion, will be rather surprising to
most people. The impression has
been generally entertained that there
was real and imminent danger of a
nationwide strike, and that the men
had refused to arbitrate.
The facts seem to be that the
entire scheme of mediation and arbi.
tration procedure, provided by the
act Of 1918, still lies between the
present situation and tie-up. The
railroad organizations, it is de-
clared, have not refused mediation
They don't want arbitration forced
upon them, through extra-legal
channels; they want, if their attitude
is understood, to do the things that
the present law provides for such
circumstances. First is mediation
after that, arbitration through
measures initiated by the Board OF
Mediation and Cancellation. 1t is al
most impossible, in view of the sue
cess that has attended these meas
ures in a great number of instance!
in the past, to believe that either tn,
employees or the companies woult
make adjustment impossible, b!
3dopting a stiff -necked attitude.
The managers Of the country
.aiiway systems are not fools; ant
no more are. the responsible heads
nor the members. Of the great union
of railroad employees.

HERES A REAL MOVIE MENACE

A bunch Of bold bandits-all
bandits are bold, of course-pulled
up in an automobiles modern
bandits always do; 1t would be a
fearful anachronism to put on real
robbery these times without a motor
car as part Of the paraphernalia-
to the front of Detroit factory,
held up the paymaster for sacks con-
tanning $4,000 Of payroll money, and
got away clean. That is, to the time
of closing this page, they had.
Detroit should properly enough be
the headquarters of motor banditry,
for Detroit is the motor capital of
the universe, and it's live town,
disposed to advertise the adaptability
of it's products for all kinds of serv-
ice. There must be certain admira-
ton for a town which, having auto
mobiles to sell to highwaymen, puts
on such a splendid demonstration of
how no burglars kit can possibly be
complete without twin-something
or a super-something else.
But-and here comes the general
community's grievance against this
particularly skillful bit of "F. o. B.
Detroit" publicity work-the thing
was done too we'll. The bandits are
described as working precisely like
moving picture workers. They were
SO calm, confident, easy, and sure
that the lookers-on applauded enthu.

film would be on exhibition, and
whether prices would be raised fol

realistically than prosaic old real lif,

battle between miners and deputies
a railroad collision or a naval battl,

nINDENBURd CHIEF IN EAST

Not only Germany, but Austria
as well, regards the centralization
of command over the Teutonic arms
in the east with the highest sat-
isfaction. 1t is even announced that
the designation of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg to the general COM
mand has given pause to the war
party in Roumania. which in recent
weeks has been chatting and impa-
tient. believing that Roumania must
get into the war on the side of the
allies while there is yet time to win
some of the substantial credit for
victory.
Won Hindenburg comes near to
being the military idol Of Germany,
as Joffre is of France. Long ago
it was announced that the supreme
direction of the allies interests on
the western front had been confided
to Joffre. under an arrangement that
gives him the domination in Anglo
British counsels without making the
British commander distinctly, and in
strictly military sense, a subordi-
nate.
Thus Germany and Austria on one
front, and France and Britain on
the other, are drawn into a closer
unity of cooperation, because the
necessities Of great campaigning
make it essential that there shall be
a single directing purpose. 1t is
fitting that a great German and Q
great French commander shall be
pitted against each other, for these
two nations have demonstrated thei,
military supriority to all their allies
just as these two commanders have
won universal estimate as the
greatest the war has produced.
Little is known as to the extent o.
General Joffre's influence over til,
direction Of operations in Russia ant
the near east; but it is believed tha

military figure in the general coun

"A Tariff Commission or a Revenue

The methods by which the Russians

were prepared, almost In secret,
munitioned, equipped, drilled and
disposed in preparation for their
latest offensive, were peculiarly
Kitchener's. The hero Of Khartouin
never let his right hand know what
his left was organizing. He fooled
England into giving him four mil
lion soldiers, scolding 1t all the time
because 1t wouldn't produce even ono
millioni Somebody raised and
launched into action magnifcently
prepared Russian army, overwhelm-
ing in numbers, with Unbelievable
perfection Of artillery preparation,
at time when all the world was
still wondering whether Russia could
ever recover from the defeats 1t had
sustained.
But Kitchener Is gone; and today
seemingly Lloyd-George is the chief
of the allied interests as to all ma
terial arrangements, and Jofre as
to purely military matters. The
German general staff Is rather q
mysterious affair; not much is known
about its real inward direction, save
that the Emperor, who is unques-
tionably a splendid soldier and a
genius for initiative and vigor, is the
court of last resort. Hindenburg will
be the agent Of the Emperor and the
general staff in the east, where he
has a tremendous task cut out for
him. g.
The Russian campaign was mani
festly managed with the purpose, in
part, Of so isolating Roumania that
she will perceive as never before
the Importance Of remaining on the
best terms with the entente nations.
The future of Roumania as a Balkan
leader will depend largely on the
disposition Of the powers toward her
after this war; and the radicals in
Roumania- are coming to understand
that. Germany's threat is that II
Roumania breaks away from her
neutrality, they will sweep her out
Of existence as they did Serbia.
Hindenburg has opportunity to
save his country's cause in the east
It can be saved there. II he can
hurl back the Russians once more
win Bulgaria and Turkey to exert
their last ounce of power in a great
united effort. and can keep Roumanis
out of the conflict, then he may even
force a decision Of the war while
Germany yet holds wide territories
conquered from her enemies. He may
do this, if he is the supreme genius
that Germany seems to regard him
but he cannot do 1t unless he is al
that. With Hindenburg in command
We shall doubtless begin to hear Of
hesitations in the Russian sweep
the east will tell, for time at least
q different story. 1t is the match
ing Of genius against genius; Of
Brusilof and Joffre against linden
burg and the German staff. Unques
tionably the announcement of Hin
denburg's promotion means that dis
positions have been perfected for {
grand counter effort by the Teuton.

THE FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS

It would seem that Congress
might eliminate some of the diff
culties of dependent families Of
militiamen, by making provision for
them through a compulsory allot-
mcnt of militiamen's pay to such de-
pendents.
The proposition has worked we'll
in the Canadian contingent sent to
England and France. It would
seem to be sane and sensible way
to eliminate such troubles as have
arisen during the last month.
No law can compel a man to be
provident to a sufficient degree to
make arrangements for the care of
his family If it is suddenly deprived
of the services of It's breadwinner.
Few men in the militia earn enough
to provide for their families over a
period as indefinite as that which
VIC are told the militia will remain
in Federal service.
There might be some argument
that any such legislation would be
illegal, in that it would be confis-
catory to a certain degree. On the
other hand. such law would really
provide something for the soldiers
family. The pay of an American
soldier is from $15 to $75 per month
The majority receive the lowe,
amount, but the pay Of quite mum
Der is higher.
The average person does not un
derstand, it would seem, that this
pay is actual spending money. L
represents a sum over and above
every living expense. Few men il

STRINGS OPP SUBMARINES

The manner Of the sinking Of the
Italian passenger Lettimbro by q
submarine in the Mediterranean, to-
gether with the general activities Of
the underwater destroyers, seems to
indicate the Inauguration Of the new
campaign of frightfulness at sea,
which the Teutonic countries have
been for some time threatening.
Not all the facts about the de-
struction of the Lettimbro have come
to hand, and those received are un-
official. But it appears that the yes.
sci, after attempting to escape, hove
to and was putting her passengers
off in boats. The submarine shelled
and finally torpedsed her. Many
people were killed after the vesse!
had stopped, surrendered, and was
| putting off her company.
This is violation Of the spirit, II
not the letter, Of the pledge that
ships companies would be provided
safety unless the ships resisted OF
attempted to escape. The Lettimbrc
did try to escape; but she had de-
sisted, and there was absolutely nc
necessity for numbering her people.
Activity Of submarines has beer
greater in the last two or three
weeks than perhaps in any other like
period Of the war, though their vic
tins have been in most cases small
vessels. The most active efforts
seem now to be directed against 1tal'
ian merchant shipping; and the rea'
son for this is not hard to calculate
Italy is very dependent on its mer'
chant marine; only less so than Eng
land. 1t is poor, and can i'll afford
heavy losses of this kind. Finally
it is not so we'll equipped as is Eng
land, for protecting itself. The Brit
! ish have their feet, their myriad Of
motor patrols, air craft, nets, ane
experience. The Italians are not sc
we'll accoutered, and the waters
around Italy are especially adapted
for submarine operations. The Aus
trian naval bases in the Adriati'
are almost ideal for such warfare
through the narrow channels thai
Italian craft must navigate.
Apparently the lid is of, and the
submarine is to resume unrestricted
operations, in the effort to infiict OF
the allies injuries that will somewha
Offset the harm that the blockade
does to the central powers. In thii
kind of a warfare, the United States
may at any time be involved, and tn
old issues of our submarine DISPUTE
