no application to Germany of Ger man methods, no seizure of Ger man provinces, no effort to do in the Palatinate what Germany dld in the case of Alsace-Lorraine, no attempt to carry off the visible wealth of the country by punitive indemnity, by an indemnity collect cd as war booty, as sheer Qlunder, as Germany exacted an indemnity in 1871. But who can subscribe 10 it if it means that Germany shall not make reparation for what Germans have done in Belgium, Serbia and France, so far as reparation can be made? Who can subscribe to It if it means the perpetuation of the German wrong of 1871, the wrong that survives in Italia Irredenta?
 If the German people think as we think now, they will themselves recognize what must be done in the case of Belgium, as the RusSlah democracy recognized that the i'm perialistic ambitions of the Roman offs must be laid aside and the policy of enslaying other people abandoned. But if the German peo- pie do not recognize this, We have no choice but to fight until they do, until the power to apply this doctrine Is taken from them, or until we can fight no more and mus ourselves surrender to the German idea, We are nearer to victory than ever in this war, but because We are nearer we must keep on: we have no choice, for if We hesitate now all these three years of agony will have been in vain.

THE QUESTION OF PEACE
By Frank H. Simmonds (Continued From Yesterday.)

The German has asserted the right to murder, to maim,, 10 abuse to destroy, to attack the weak and the unarmed, the Innocent and the helpless, 10 destroy the beautiful and defiIe the sacred, whenever his interests seem to be served thereby. He has applied this doc triue to b.s neighbOrs for three years. He $ still applying it. He has built up g whole body of doc urine founded on the essential de- tail that physical force makes nor al right and that the strong man is entitled to use his strength to serve his own ambitions, appetites, material Interests.
 As a result the whole world has gone to war with the Germans. It has not conquered him, but he has not conquered it, nor is there left any real belief in his mind that he can now and at this time conquer the world. But can the world af- ford to leave the issue at this point? The Tribune believes not. We must have a settlement, we must have a decision. We must have it on the battlefield if it cannot be had elsewhere. And it can only be had elsewhere if the German people lay aside this idea and in advance of military decision consent to make that reparation which must be made.
 Abraham Lincoln in 1864 per Cetved with umost clarity that there must be a decision in the dispute between the North and the South, because of the two ideas only one could possibly prevail. One may not compare the civil War with the present war, because both sides re- mained loyal to their common Ideal of humanity and of civilization, but it is still plain that two ideas were in conflict and there had to be a decision, that there might be peace thereafter for those who were to come.
 We must have a decision in the present war, clear, unmistakable and immutable decision. Our ctyili- zation win have to be vipdicatad or abolished. The German idea and the idea Of the rest of mankind cannot live side by side, because German idea Is at bottom founded upon the arrogated right to destroy all else in the world when it pleas es and 1t pleases. The man who Ives in the vicinity of a tiger may have no amnesty in his heart to- ward the tiger, but he will, never theless, have no choice of proceed urs, and the Germans have left us no choice,
 When one speaks Of peace founded upon the doctrine of no annexation and no indemnity, we gan all subscribe to it f it means

France Thanks
 Women For Clothing


 respondence)-The gratitude of the French Minister of Marine for the offer of American women enlisted with the Comforts Committee of the Navy League to supply French sailors with woolen garments to protect them against the cold and damp of anti-submarine patrol du- ty in the war zone is expressed in a letter from the French Naval At tache, Commander de Blanpre, to Mrs. James Carroll Frazer, Chair man of the Comforts Committee, made public here today.
 The letter also conveys to the women of the Navy League the thanks of a thousand French sailors who have been outfitted with these garments which twill be so much appreciated during the hard service they are going to perform this win ter in the Ocean and Channel in hunting the submarines"
 Organization of the work of mak- ing these woolen garments for French, British and Russian sailors Is now proceeding rapidly. The clothing supplied the Allied sailors will be the same as that made TOT American sailors under official Tegu lations of the Navy Department; consisting of woolen sweaters, hel- mets that can be drawn down to the shoulders, mufflers and wrist lets. All articles intended for shipment to France or other Allied countries, the Navy League ans nounces, should be sent to the Comforts Committee headquarters 1T Washington, marked for the forces for which they are intended.
 Here is the letter Of the French Naval Attache conveying the thanks of the French government for this aid from American women:
 AAIBASSADE de FRANCE
 Attache Naval
 Washington, 21st July, 1917. My dear Mrs. Frazer:
 In behalf of the men of the French Detachment, I want to thank you for the thousand outfits you have sent and which will be so much appreciated during the hard service they are going to perform this winter in the Ocean and Chan nel in hunting the submarines.
 I am also directed by the French Minister of Marine to thank you for your kind offer to send some other warm garments to France to be used by our sailors and 1t Is a pleasure for men to inform you that he accepts it with gratitude. These garments ought to be sent to France, In care of the Vice-Ad- uiral, Prefet Maritime, Brest' France.
 ask you to transmit my thanks and those of the French sailors to the Comfort Committee of the Ma " League of the United states.
 Believe me, my dear Mrs. Frazer
 Yours very sincerely,
 (Signed) B. de Blanpre.

Decreased Price; Increased
Output?

Coal prices bituminousl as estab-
lshed by the Presidents order look
very modest as compared with the
prices that have prevailed recently. We
may recall that when the operators, in
great burst of patriotism, pledged
themselves TO prices ranging 80 per
cent above those now fixed by the Pres
ident, there was no little murmuring in
the trade over the prospective loss Of
opportunities for great profits. Ger
tsinly the Presidents action will re-
duce the yield Of excess profits taxation
from the coal industry. There are pre-
dictions ahoat that more serious con-
sequences will ensue; that some mines
will be closed and other mines forced
10 work al less than capacity. This is
conceivable, at any rate. There are
badly situated mines that have found IL
possible 70 operate proftably at the
high prices their products command,
and that may now find operation un-
profitable But the real limit upon coal
production to-day is determined by the
available labor supply. The better
mines will easily absorb any labor re-
lease by the closing Of the poorer ones.
II Is not at all impossible that the To-
tai output might be increased, rather
than reduced, by such a readjustment
Of production.-The Nel0 Republic.

Cold Storage in France

Cold storage is little used in France.
The reason for this, according to a re-
port from A. NJ. Thackara. the Ameri-
can Consul General at Paris, is that
the soil is so fertile, the climate so
mild, the rich colonies of North Africa
so near, that the French people have
not had recourse to refrigeration on
any scale worthy of mention. Before
the war there was a cold storage
plant in La Villette connected with
the Paris slaughter houses for the
preservation of meats. IL never con-
tanned anything, however, but pears
and cheeses until the war broke out,
when it was requisitioned by the gov
eminent, along with the plants at
started number of cold storage
plants have been established in France
by the British army.
The food problems introduced by the
war, Mr.. Thsckara says, have once
more brought the cold storage issue
10 the front, and French authorities
are alive TO its importance. They
realize that the situation in France is
rum lidl Ol the ANlIeQ
States, for instance. where the farms
are large and the distances great. They
are also aware Of the criticisms to
which the cold storage companies in
America have been exposed. Further
more, they are mindful of the fine
reputation OF the French table. and
claim that it is impossible for any
cook TO give frozen meat, fish, fowl
or venison the flavor and quality of
fresh products. Yet they feel that the
time has come for following in the
footsteps Of the United states and
Great Britain in the matter Of cold
storage. They want cold storage at
the large seaports and near the large
cities, particularly for meats TO be
supplied by French colonies and other
countries raising cattle on a large
scale.

Dilatory Banks
Losing $4,000 a Day Through
Failure to Redeem Certificates

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The gov
eminent is making a clear profit Of
nearly $4,000 day on the procrastina-
ton of bankers and others in collecting
money due them for short time GER
tificates of Indebtedness, issued months
ago and now past maturity. More than
a month has passed since the last Of
these certificates matured, and at pres
ent approximately S25,000,OO0 Of the
issue is still outstanding.
At 81 per cent interest, the rate on
the Liberty Loan and the rate paid by
foreign governments for money loaned
them by the Treasury, the amount rep
resented by outstanding certificates
would yield approximately $4,000 day.
The entire proceeds of the Liberty
Loan, so far as paid in there yet re-
mains one instalment to be paid, has
been spent for domestic needs or loaned
to Americas allies, and the Treasury is
now meeting demands upon it largely
with the proceeds of the first issue Of
certificates, $500 900 900 in anticipation
of the second Liberty Bond issue.
Some of the S25,000,000 outstanding
is undoubtedly deposited as collateral
for government deposits, some has not
been turned in, apparently because the
holders are careless, and some GER
tificates may have been lost, but all
have ceased to bear interest.

Labor Troubles Cut
Profits of Copper Co.
Butte and Superior Reports
Loss Due to Curtailment
of Output

Net profits Of the Butte & Superior
Mining Company for the quarter ended
June so amounted 70 S1,003,237, COM
pared with s1,061,O21 for the first
quarter. The total earnings dropped
from s2,275,62 to S2,O4O,93O. The loss
in net was less than that in gross be-
cause Of a reduction of sl76,906 in
opening costs and taxes.
N. Bruce MacKelvie, president of the
company, stated that the curtailment
of production and the decline Of the
metal market were responsible for the
shrinkage in earnings. He added:
"The tonnage of ore mined and
treated fell considerably below that of
the first quarter, very largely because
of the unsettled labor conditions during
almost the entire month of June.
"The average recovery of metals in
concentration shows an improvement
over that of the previous quarter, and
the total cost of mining and milling, ex-
elusive of taxes, decreased Is cents
per ton. due in part to a better ad-
justment Of milling operations. Re-
Punishment of ore reserves by develop
ment amounted to 142,4S9 tons, or a
net increase over the tonnage mined
for the quarter of 1880 tons"
On June 80, last, the company had
net quick assets of s2,s96.110, of which
s9l9,555 was cash, and sl,799,5S9, the
estimated net value of products on hand
and in transit which final settlement
had not been received. The remainder
covered operating supplies, accounts re-
ceivable, etc.
For the six months Of the calendar
year the company's profits were ST.,
O64,25S, the equivalent Of Sill share
on s2,9O1, S72 capital stock, $40 share

Critical Situation
In the Oil Trade
Lack of Equipment Stops Ex-
ploration and Shortage
Threatens

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.--Danger
that the country's increasing military
and industrial demands for gasolene
and other petroleum products may not
be filled because Of lack of equipment
for drilling new wells has been brought
to the attention of the Council of Ma
tional Defence by the Bureau of Mines.
Director Manning of the bureau to-
day said he was hopeful that arrange
ments would be made by the council
whereby materials from the steel in
dustry and other supplies would be
speedily furnished oil producers.
"The situation is critical" he said.
AT the present time drilling is being
curtailed, costs OF oil well supplies
have been increased, and it has become
impossible TO get them in adequate
quantities for any price. The sltua-
tion is worse than at any time since
the war started. We're no wells to be
drilled for one years time our petro-
leum production would drop by at least
one-fourth.
From California 10 Pennsylvania
small producing wells are being aban-
dored in order that equipment may De
used for new wells, from which larger
production is expected"
