transport and hospital services could
not be reduced now unless the time
had come when less insistent de-
mands were going to be made.
The return Of the Mauretania to
regular service across the Atlantic
doubtless results, too, from desire
to improve that service just as much
as possible; for the supply of ves-
sells Of even second-rate speed has
been painfully reduced and the de-
mands on them for the munitions
and other traffic have been most
pressing. This release of the Mau-
retania really amounts in all prob
ability to transferring her from one
war service to another; from actual
military work to the no less import
ant business of maintaining the
economic supports of the United
Kingdom.

crossed over from Belgium regularly
for several summers TO carry the meio-
dioLs echoes OF Malines to Cattistock.
ON this occasion he played chiery
folk tunes OF Belgium and national aris

gradation of tone in the delicate orna-
ments surrounding the melodies, and
most OF all in the fanciful flights OF his

TRUSTS ON PROBATION

IN passing on the Governments
antitrust suit against the American
Can Company, Judge Rose seems to
have made the broadest application
yet recorded of the "rule Of reason"
In effect, he decided that the cor
poration was organized illegally, that
it still exists under the powers thus
illegally acquired, but that it has not
been guilty of vicious practices
within the past few years and is $50
finely adjusted an industrial ma
chine" that he is reluctant to de-
stroy it."
On the other hand, since the cor
poration had been guilty of some Of
the offenses charged, which included
absorbing competition, fixing prices,
and harassing independents, he hesi-
tated to give the "trust" the sane
ton which a dismissal of the suit
would have implied. Faced with this
dilemma he resorted TO a course
which amounts, in effect, to sus-
pended sentence. The company is
put on probation.
The decision is interesting as
showing a new trend of thought to-
ward big corporations. Within the
letter of the law the "trust" could
have been fined and dissolved. That
would have been the fate of the
American Can Company few years
ago.
But the Judge doubts the effec-
tiveness of a dissolution at this
time" A dispatch from Washington
says the Department of Justice is not
entirely pleased, remarking that the
plea of good behavior for some time
preceding the dissolution could have
been urged with truth in the case Of,
say, the Standard Oil Company.
That is just the point. What has
been the net gain to the public of
the dissolution of Standard Oil? And
while the efficiency of that marvellous
machine has been little impaired by
complying with the court order, an
other corporation might not emerge
30 luckily, with the result that the
public, far from being better off,
might be, because of the enforced
substitution of clumsy disorganiza-
tion for skillful coordination and it's
resulting economies, actually the
loser.

THE MAURITANIA BACK AGAIN

The great turbine steamship Mau-
retania was withdrawn from the
North Atlantic service of the Cunard
line early in the war, Tor the use of
the British hospital corps. 1t is now
announced that her services are no
longer required, and that she will be
restored to her owners.
The announcement, formerly
made in the Commons, suggests a
good deal more than it carries on
it's face. The Mauretania was used
in the hospital service in the Darda-
nelles. To permit her to resume
merchant traffic can only mean that
the pressure upon the British mer-
chant marine to provide military
and naval auxiliaries must have
passed its maximum. Nobody knows
how many troops Britain has sent
overseas, or how many troops of her
allies have been moved in British
vessels; but it is certain that thc

here for the first time at the final con-

modern treatment of these Greek trag-

IL was said that n large share OF the
success Of the dramas was attributed
TO the composer. The music was de-
clared a component part OF the produc-
ton. suggesting the spirit OF classic

sympathetic way.

Carefully avoiding every reference
to the war or the conditions forced
upon the country through which he
Travelled, Mr.. Elmendorf centered his
attention in the main on the rural
sections. of the islands.
Few of the larger cities were visit
ed except for a passing glance. while
there were no pictures of Wales.
Ireland, despite its rain soaked
parts. carried to Mr.. Elmeudorf an
especial appeal and Blarney Castle
and the Giants Causeway received
particular attention.
The Lakes OF Killarney were shown
under most favorable and adverse con-
ditions. one of the pictures being
taken during a driving rain storm.
England received less attention, al
though the lecturer took his audience
to the birthplace OF Shakespeare and
Bobby Burns.
The lecture was the first OF a series
