Government Holds People in
Chilled Steel Grip

II Is a governmental attitude that Is
ridiculous, but IL Is the decision Of the
government, and in France the govern
ment is supreme, with a supremacy
never surpassed and seldom equalled in
the most absolute monarchy known 70
history.
In the same manner peace discus
sions are smothered in the Chamber OF
Deputies. Figuratiyely, the Chamber Is
the forum of free speech. Actually, IL
any one begins TO talk about peace the
government puts a gag in his mouth,
throws a blanket over his head and
carries him out bodily. There is quite
block of Deputies who would be glad
70 start a discussion Of peace on the
least opening. But they never get the
chance. VI. Deschanel, the president Of
the Chamber, sees TO that. His great
est value is in keeping the Socialist
minoritaires in order. Let one Of them
rise in his place and Deschanel inn
mediately springs 10 his feet, and all
the time the Socialist Deputy is try
ing TO speak Deschanel is shouting at
him and ringing the bell. From his
vantage point above the tribune Des-
chanel never fails 70 get IN a patriotic
harangue and raise a pandemonium
that browns out the Socialist.
The government Is not yet ready 70
discuss peace, and until IL is ready the
people might as well give up the idea.
The government is resolutely deter
mined TO fight the war TO definite VIC
tory on the battlefield. IL keeps a very
close watch on Germany, and Il is re-
markable how minutely il is informed
on events there. Up 10 the present II
has seen nothing 10 give it reason 10
credit any Of Germany's various peace
moves with any degree Of sincerity
from the point Of view OF a peace sc-
ceptable or possible 10 any one except
Germany, and until il does there will
be no open discussion Of peace among
the people Of France, unless the gov
eminent loses what now appears to be
q chilled steel grip on the people.

ern front. They we're transported or
ships that were urgently needed by
both the British and French for am
munition supplies and foodstuffs.
"The losses Of the French army have
been terrific. and the ability Of the
French to hold on much longer Is
doubtful. The fact that they will try
TO hold on is undoubted. The only
thing the French are thinking of at the
present time is, Can we hang on until
America sends US sufficient reinforce
ments?'
"The need for men in France is
greater than the need even for food or
ammunition, and the only answer is
that American troops must be sent 70
France before the poor remnant of
her once powerful army finds il i'm
possible 10 hold any longer the ter
rain which IL has wrested from the
Germans at such terrific cost"

Noah's Ark Bill to Help
'RestockMexicanFarms

Mexico City, July ia project re-
Gently was submitted TO Rafael Nieto,
Under Secretary of Finance, which
evolved a new idea for the financial bet
terment Of the poorer agricultural
classes of Mexico.
Among the employees OF the Depart
ment of Finance it is known as the
Noah's Ark bill. IL proposes that the
government either give 10 each agri-
cultural family, or aid each family 10
buy, two pigs, two goats. two rabbits. a
hen and a rooster. a duck and drake
and pairs of farmysrd animals. The
project asserts that with but little care
and expense the nasrs increase of
these animals would speedily drive the
wolf from the doors OF the Mexican
egriculturists.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-15

There is not now and never has been
in France any expectation OF an early
peace. There have been from time 70
time beliefs in France that peace might
come within certain more or less
definite time, but the basis for these
beliefs has always been victory, or a
certain measure Of victory, and that
has always implied several months, at
least, of very hard fighting. In other
words, the French idea of peace has
always been based on the battlefield.
She has always suspected the so-called
peace talk. Ballons d'essai have been
for her bait to trap, not sincere sug-
gestions.
The French have always appreciated
that Germany must be beaten in the
field before there is any chance OF real
peace. They have believed from the
beginning that before there can be
peace Germany must, at the very least,
find herself on the verge of such de-
cisive defeat that In order to preserve
her own existence as an empire she will
be forced TO make sincere peace offers.
That is a condition of which no one
in France sees any evidence at the
present time. The French are much
less easily gulled than other nations by
reports of German weakening. Stories
of a possible German revolution, OF a
German republic, are interesting specu-
lation, but they are no more than sub
jects for academic discussion, pleasant
topics for the dinner table. It is recog-
nized that as long as the present
Kaiser sits on the throne there Is little
possibility Of a German revolution.
His death, natural or violent, would
make a vast difference. For the Ger
man people would not follow the
Crown Prince as they do the Kaiser.
The Crown Prince is joke for the
German comic papers, and the people
would be very likely to release him
from the necessity Of reigning If the
Kaiser died with the war still in prog
ress. Then peace might follow Ger
man republic. But that is only another
interesting subject for discussion. The
various reports Of the Ksiser's Ill
health are discounted In France.

There was nothing logical in expecting
the German army TO knuckle under to
the Allies when Germany had all the
better of the argument at arms. The
French people did not talk about peace.
They talked about fighting. They did
not discuss conditions of peace. They
discussed where and when the next Of
fensive would probably be launched

WATER COMPANY NOTICE.

The Dorchester Water Co. has SUI
fered considerable loss from users OF
water who have moved away from
town leaving water rent bills unpaid.
These losses are caused almost Ell
tirely by people who rent property,
and the directors of the Dorchester
Water Co. find it necessary to pass
the following rule:
On and after Oct. l, 1917, an
owners will be responsible for Wa
ter supplied to their respective prop
critics. and the rents will be charged
directly to the owners of the prop
erty, instead of the tenants"
Where water rents are paid in ad-
vance and the tenants move before
the time expires for which rent has
been paid, then the Water Co, on no
tice being given, will refund the I'M
used portion so paid.

Now here. perhaps. is the effect of
the war upon Japan more patent
than in Japan'S great naval yards at
Iokosuka: nowhere does the siren
9Th and magnitude Of her ambitions
find more cOgent demonstration. The
pOSSeSSorS of an island empire, the
statesmen of Japan have not been
slow TO recognize the value OF a
strong navy and powerful and nu-
merouS mercantile marine. Under a
system of shipbuilding and ship-run
ming bounties. her merchant ship
ping has made huge strides; and the
advocates of State aid, in return I'M
der certain circumstances for State
control, may point confidently to the
successful transportation of troops
in time of war in justification OF
their policy.
Once after an attack and a slight
advance of the French many Ger
man dead We're left on the field.
Among these was a large, fat, red
haired German who had fallen on a
bit of rising ground in 4 good place
for observation. 1t occurred TO the
colonel that a French observer might
be useful at this point. The camOu-
fieurs therefore made a most beauti-
full, fat red-haired German corps
know you are too good an artist to
see any contradiction of terms here
and that night they crawled out
with it to where the fat German lay.
They threw rope around the dead
man, dragged him away, and left him
behind a pile of rocks, and they then
placed the French observer in his
place with rope attached, so that
they could pull him back.
Most of the distinguished men of
tiliationS. have undertaken to raise a
fund for the erection of a handsome
