CONDITIONS

Fundamental conditions are little changed. the war still everything all other considerations. That the struggle Is drawing to its close every One believes, but the date aud .he terms O. peace are as muck matter of gaeSswork as ever. The war might end much earlier than anticlI ated, provided some great event occurred tending lu that direction. Il is to- be hoped that prOguoSucationS that the cad will Come with the New lear Niu prove correct; but sucn uuI.clpatIous are almost too good to De uue, and 'Ue struggle is quite likely to be carried into the cOmIus year, judging by present re- s.,tiug power Of tue Germans.
 The latter will lu some respects gCCw iL strength as their forces contract and fall back upon unde- yAstatsd country, supplied with good railroad service and nearer u source Uf supplies. Or bhe other 2ald, aS the Allies press forward tLey Iu&ye behind Pem nothing but v4aos, 5neir 'suppl.es become more and mere distant, and traffiq routes Will be temporarily demorallZod. Hence should the Allies continue tu.'f ureseDt rate of success, real prCsrcsS for them will become more and m,re difficult as the armies move forward.
 This week marks the second an myerSaIy of the wGr Conditions have vastly changed during the in teIyal At the begl7UiHg the Ger ma.s were overwhelmingly ou the aggressive. Now he Central Pow els are on the defensive and d. iYen back h every direction, while Al lied preparedness Is becoming equal Iy overwhelming ou every side.
 Thus far the cost Of the war to ali the beIligerentenaa been over 40 billion dollars, and about $1,3OO,- UGJ,0GO of this amount was raised by loans in the United States. should .he struggle last another year, as expected Ey Kitchener, the outlay will run up to between 50 and 70 billions; sum utterly beyond ordinary comprehension. Peace still seems a long way off. and when hostuities cease months must elapse before any treaty of peace will be actually signed.
 After the war what? This Ques- ton Is beginning Go occupy public attention quite as much as the war itself. No miud is tar-sighted enough to predict :he outcome with any certainty, Cor in such stupen- dous upheavals 1t Is the unexpect- ed which usually happens. That great social and political changes are impending In Europe nobody doubts, probably in the direction of lessening class differences and plac- ing the control of political power and wealth more and more on the hands of the great middle classes.
 The whole trend the world over Is to place more and mCrA power over individuals and industries 'iH hands Of the government at 'the same time putting control of the gov erument still mor4 iu the hands of the people and less in control of the a5:stocracy. In trief, democracy will receive a tremendous impetus from war; and, while the change, whether it comes 'roDidly or slowly, will be disturbing, still to those who have real fai'b in the ultimate progress of civilization the outcome will be welcome, n the firm hope of a new era of peace and social advancement.

MATRIMONIAL COMMANDMENTS

Rev. Frank E. Rideout, pastor of a
Baptist church in Bridgeport, Conn.,,
has prepared ten commandments each
for husband and wife, which he says
will insure perfect happiness.
The ten for husbands are:
l.. Thou shalt not think that thy
elf are "It."
2. Thou shalt not praise thy neigh
boris wife; praise thine own.
3. Thou shalt not be stingy with
thy wife.
a. Thou shalt not share the love
for thy wife with the booze shop. She
deserveth it all.
5. Thou shalt not keep any secrets
from thine wife. Secrets breed sus-
picion and wreck confidence.
6. Thou shalt not refuse to talk to
thy wife after the days work is done
z. Thou shalt not fail to provide
life insurance for thy family.
8. Thou shalt not scold thy wife
when the meat burns. Blow up a DOW.
der mill instead.
9. Thou shalt not fail to kiss thy
wife goodby every morning.
10. Thou shalt not forget through
all the years Of thy life that thy wife,
whom God has given thee as thy com
panion, is thy superior.
The ten for wives are:
1. Thou shalt not be spendthrift
Do not squander thy husbands money
2. Thou shalt not talk shop when
thy husband returns at night.
8. Thou shalt not fail to have his
meals on time.
a. Thou shalt not quiz thy welded
husband. Be adroit and he will tell
thee all.
5. Thou shalt not nag thy husband
Hit him with an axe. 1t is more kind
6. Thou shalt not fail to dress up
for thy husband as thou didst before
marriage.
2. Thou shalt not try to fight thy
husband. Crying will fetch him soon
er.
8. Thou shalt not expect thy hus-
band to apologize-even when he is
wrong. Let it pass.
9. Thou shalt not hesitate to assure
thy husband that he is the greatest
man alive, and that thou dost admire
him more than Roosevelt or Hughes.
10. Thou shalt not remind thy hus-
band what a great sacrifice thou didst
make to marry him.

2. There is not sufficient labor to
operate the mines at maximum ca
pacity. The Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany has 1,7O0 less men than it had
at this time a year ago. The alb
normally high wages paid in muni-
tion plants have taken away many
thousands of men. The coal opera
tors cannot meet this scale of wages
without increasing the cost of coal.
The mining companies have nothing
whatever to do with the retail price
of coal

KENTUCKY BANKS
Will Be Assessed at One Hun.
dred Per Cent. Valuation
Increase From Eighty Per
Cent.

Frankfort, KY, March 25.-Banks
and trust companies will be assessed at
100 per cent. instead of so by the State
Board of Valuation and Assessment this
year.
Eight years ago the board began
taking eighty per cent. of the total
capital of the banks, as the amount of
their assessment, and it was continued
under the last administration.
Auditor Greene. Treasurer Good
paster and Secretary of State Lewis are
considering the method of assessing
banks and other corporations. 1t is
undecided whether they will take the
value of the stock as returned by the
banks or find the valuation from the
capital and surplus and net earnings.
The two systems, it is believed. will
bring very little difference in results.
The total revenue from banks last
year, according to the State AUDITOR
reports, was $217, 52l.79 and twenty
per cent. increase would add $43,5 04. %
from that source.

GERMANS OUTW|TTED
Their Own Devices Turned
Against Them by Russians,
Says Writer.

Especial Cable Despatch to The Sun
London, March 23.-The Petrograd
correspondent of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs today as follows:
German official reports of the activ-
ity south of Dwinsk lay stress on the
heavy Russian losses This is an old
the enemy has suffered reverse. Nat
urally, when positions such as the Ger
mans have been strengthening all winter
are taken in the course of a few hours,
losses are inevitable, but l have good
ground for stating that the Russian
casualties are by no means heavy.
"In any case the Germans, who re-
treated before the onrush of the Russian
troops, supported by artillery which is
now amply provided with ammunition.
A force advancing can form fair esti
mate of the opponents losses, but the
force compelled to retire can only guess.
THE fact that at several places the
Russians drove the Germans out of the
trenches and occupied strongly fortified
positions, such as Veleekie and Selo,
gives the best possible grounds for con-
6dence in the future. All that the art
of the German engineers could devise
has been done through the winter to
make the front impregnable.
"Wire defences, concrete parapets and
armored blockhouses, ingeniously laid
mines, reservoirs of poison gas and
numberless machine guns might reason
ably have led them to suppose that they
were secure against attack. Yet at the
first determined effort the whole elabor-
ate system of defence crumeled. OF
course, they retired to other positions
equally strong, possibly stronger, but
the Russian troops are now full of con-
fidence of their ability to drive back the
enemy.
''In one district where the Germans
were hoist by their own petard and
treated with liberal doses of flame throw
ers and gas they curse the day their
leaders adopted these devilish means of
warfare. Here the Russians captured
all who were not unconscious or dead.
Hundreds surrendered, including Off
GERS. Machine guns, searchlights,
bomb throwers-everything fell into
Russian hands"
