mulgated should now be withdrawn
In view Of the retraction made By
the officers OF the league.
The demand made by the Secre.
tary Of the Navy that the officers of
the league should resign is a distinct
interference with the rights and
privileges Of the league. and is new
method Of warfare conducted by the
head of a great department OF our
government against an independent
and patriotic society, II such a
method of coercion is to be counte'
nanced and Is to be submitted to by
our people, IS not a precedent being
established which Is most dangerous
to the liberties OF the public? If the
work Of this society is to be crippled
or destroyed because the Secretary
wishes to inflict punishment upon
the president of the league. might we
not expect that some other depart
ment head OF our government might,
demand the resignation Of the Off
GERS Of the Red Cross or the Allied
Relief Society or some similar asso.
citation, because Of personal
grievance? The practice which has
been introduced by Mr.. Daniels is too
dangerous a one to be passed over in
silence or ignored by the people Of

A FINE COOPERATION

Some slab-Sided minds every once
in while break out with the raucous
cry that this is rich mans war.
What is meant Is that the rich are
profiting by war without undergoing
any Of the sacrifices 1t imposes. OF
course it is nothing Of the kind. The
man who is rich enough TO buy over
$4,000 worth Of bonds gets a taxable
investment The poor man and the
man Of moderate circumstances,
whose purchases are less has
straight investment free OF taxation.
The cooperation of the rich and
poor In this matter is plainly set
forth by an intelligent writer. who
maintains that when a man of small
income uses some part Of it to sub
scribe to the Liberty Loan, his con-
tribution to the national power is I'M
mediate He uses less wheat and
meat and there is more for our army
and our allies. He postpones the pur-
chase of clothing and there is more
wool to keep our soldiers from freez-
ing in the trenches. He manages on
less fuel and there is more coal for
the munitions works and ocean trans
ports When IL rich man invests OF
his income in the loan the result is
less direct. He refrains from buying
paintings and statuary; he builds less
expensirely, entertains less lavishly.
All this releases few products for use
in war. But the purchasing power he
places at the governments DISPOSE
ton represents an additional demand
for labor in the production Of war
goods. By virtue Of this added pur-
chasing power the government can
induce more men TO work, some men
TO work longer. others to wor k harder.
Rich and poor alike must serve the
loan, If the government is to have
at its command the goods and service
required to win the war.

GERMANY AFTER THE WAR

consular officer, stationed III
Germany prior to the rupture OF re-
lations, pictures the decentralization
of German industrial activity; ana
nredicts that it will be years before
the Germans can regain their ola
nosition in the commercial world
even If peace should come soon. He
argues that the transformation OF
many establishments into war FAC
tories has destroyed their efficiency
under a return to their old lines OF
production, that the absence OF work:
men in the army will unfit them for
q resumption of normal employment
when they are released from the
trenches, and that the idleness OF
mills will atrophy their effectiveness
when they begin operations once
more.
It is a pleasing prospect thus pre-
sented; but it is not true. German
efficiency OlltI Tic "o1 "4AA w
HANGED by the rigid military stand
ards which the war will have set up
for the men who will so back from
the trenches to the factories. The
pressure OF taxation upon the nation
will be a stimulus to Increased pro-
ductiyity. France was not crushed
By the billion francs which Bismarck
exacted from her in 1871; she was
stirred to redoubled energy in order
to pay it off. Germany will have an
even larger incentive. German genius
has developed In war time as all her
cruel devices on land and sea have
shown. That genius will so back to
work after the war with sharpened
capacity.
1t will be an alert and necessitous
Germany which will betake itself
from war TO commerce-and any ma
ton which discounts German compe
tition after the war will be even more
foolish than the United States was
last year in believing that we could
continue to be kept out Of war"

What the export trade Of the United
States needs most urgently at this time
is somo modification Of our system OF
war embargo which will permit or quick
action: and what Is most desperately
needed. among any modihcatlons tnal
can be devised. Is some means or release
from embargo of goods manufactured
and ordered prior to the date Of proc
anlation of embargo on their particular
class. Unless relief be afforded quickly
all merchants concerned with trade Of
this character confront the possibility
Of very serious losses.
No one can be reproached for the pres
ent difficult state Of our affairs. IT Is
condition arising. probably unaVoid-
ably. In the sudden change from many
years Of peace and enormously expanded
activities. to war measures wholly un-
familiar to this generation me oest
we can do will be to learn our lesson as
inexpensively rs possiblc: and this Is
one that has already cost more than
enough. 1t IS liable speedily to cost far
more.

Not to minimize their Importance. but
simply because the present untoward
conditions call for immediate RELIEF, a

presSive illustrations.
