OPTIMISTIC, unbiased stud
ents of the labor and wage
troubles spreading over the
northwest are inclined to be-
lieve that an amicable adjust
ment will eventually be
reached. However, in the
meantime, a heavy loss in pro-
duction will occur right when
production should be at the
maximum, for the leaders OF
the unions have had the gen
cralship to strike at a time
when their blows will be felt
most keenly, and, therefore,
when, according to their
theory, they will stand the
best chance OF bringing the
employers to terms. The |.
w. w. claim to have a large
fund to finance their strikes.
But their funds cannot last
always, and when they are
exhausted the strike must
end, in favor of either the
laborer or the employer. 1t
is to be hoped that violence
and destruction of life or pro-
perty will not be an incident
in the process of adjustment,
but should matters become
desperate there is every
reason to believe that the
government will take the sit
uation in hand, and in that
event it is very probable that
both sides to the controversy
will be asked to grant conces-
sions.

The West Front

Fear of determined and perhaps successful
German offensive on the west front disturbed
the minds of Americans for several weeks. Basis
for the fear can be traced to the elimination OF
the Russians on the east front and the dash Of
the Kaiser's troops against Italy. The lack OF
equipment for our own army and the assertion OF
Germans that the Allies will be defeated before
we are able to supplant Frances depleted man
power, was another dsquieting factor.
II is difficult for the layman to understand
gigantic military operations, partly because he
does not possess the military knowledge to grasp
the situation, and partly because, in the very ma
ture of the case, all military facts are not laid
down before him but are carefully, and rightly
so, kept secret by the high military authorities.
Hence, we are not in position to judge with ac-
curacy about the exigencies Of the western front.
That the much advertised thrust of the Ger
mans on the western front, which was to come
this week, did not materalze in fact can be seen
by scanning the war reports. No one can say
with assurance, however, that it has been post
poned and will not come before the New Year.
Philip Gibbs, a writer of the New York Times,
attached to west front headquarters, in a COM
munication to his paper believes that the Ger
mans will not try an ambitious offensive this
year. His reasons succinctly stated are:
First. Lack of time to prepare for the blow.
Vast accumulations of munition, concentration of
big guns building of new roads and railroads,
and concentration of reserves are absolute prere-
quisites This work has not been done.
Secondly The number of divisions taken from
Russia are not so large as the common people be-
lieve they are. The German general staff in the
past has been picking men out of these divisions
and sending them to the west front in drafts of
800 and 400 men, the result being that the divis-

Patience and Cowardice
TBy Cardinal Gibbons. ]

AS an evidence of the righteousness of Ameri-
cas- cause in the war, would point to the pa
thence of our President and Congress under the
long series of grave injuries and broken pledges
endured by the United States during the time
that Germany was processing it's friendship for
us. We were shocked to see our property unjust
ly destroyed in vast quantity, but what was inn
measurably more serious, to read of our men,
women and children killed in violation of the uni
versally accepted customs of the sea- When at
length not only American citizens but neutrals
everywhere suffered appallingly under the cruel
ties of nation which hesitated not to disregard
international law we learned that patience was
being construed as cowardice, and that it was fol-
ly to hope that wiser counsels would prevail
among our enemies to bring about change in
their lawless policy. Then we took the only
course open to us, the defense of our sovereign
rights as nation and the upholding of the ideals
of truth and justice in the hearts of all peoples.
We have entered into the struggle with clean
conscience, seeking no territorial or financial
gain but the peace of the world the liberty of it's
people, and the security of all nations.
