The German Accent in the
Neutral Voice

IPWAR has a logic it is logic all its
own, and it is one of the drawbacks
Of neutrality to foster belief that
,,r to any degree exercises the natural
no-al logic of peace. The United States,
Jovly drawn as a protagonist into the
Asstre Of violent events, has had its own
troubles realizing the difference between
frbting and watching others fight. But
ne neutral nations of Europe, permanent
" residing at the edge of the confagra-
lion. and with no temptation at any time
10 believe they could resist or escape the
troubles besetting the world around them,
suddenly show a panied surprise at the
probable injury which an American food
embargo will put upon them. Possibly
tbs is only the habitual moan the de-
vsssi neutral has learned to give at
al nm of the thumbscrew on the wise
q Egrope. But American newspaper
,p,cn appears to be agreed that we
as.n not be above seeking hidden leu
i,,e accent in the neutral voice of pro-

Russia-and a Germany
at Bay

THERE is evident in much of the COM
i ment on recent events in Russia and
in Berlin a sense of impending change, 4
general implication that the fate which
sways the destiny Of nations has more
nearly disclosed its hand than ever before.
There is tendency, too, to find IN the
Russian return to coherent power de-
mand for recognition and declaration OF
aims on the part of the United States.
"The New York Call" which speaks for
the radicals, cannot believe that Russia
rives itself to war merely for the selfish
aims of an Allied capitalistic conquest,
limiting at some dream of wider void
democracy Russia sees itself bringing to
fulflment. Even "The Philadelphia En-
ouirer" warns that the matter of conquest
and indemnity is still far from settled and
saws the time is at hand when this coun-
trv will have to declare itself on these
important issues" Only an expression
coming from the people themselves will be
entitled to consideration, 1.-THE Enquirer

TIME political throes through which
Germany is passing all but monopo-
n lied the interest of the New York
editorial writer's for the last several days.
Little disagreement is found among them
in their reactions to the big Hohenzollern
crisis, yet there are shades of difference.
Under the caption "Germany's New Peace
Party" 1.-The Sun" says:
"The Socialists in Germany. have spoken
for peace at times when the Kaiser thought
it desirable; have acted as his agents in the
attempt to lure the Russians into the Stock
holm BOBBY trap, and have tugged manfully
on wires that ran into Paris through Geneva.
Their peace activities formed a we'll organ
lied part of the German campaign. Now
however. comes one who belongs to the Cath
Ollie Centrist party, powerful in South Ger
many. and who demands frank abandon
ment of the policy of retaining conquests
Erzberger, who speaks thus, occupies an I'M
portant position in his party and is an I'M
portant figure in the Reichstag. His express
sions are taken by German newspapers as
direct attack on his nations war policy. Such
an attack from such quarter means more
than any amount Of the recent Socialist out
cry
THE World" gives this Interpretation Of
the matter:
"Out OF all the conflicting and ncon-
elusive reports in regard to the German
crisis one fact stands forth clearly and dis
tinctly. The Imperial Government is now or
the defensive at home, and is compelled TO
deal in concrete fashion with the growing
dissatisfaction of the German people.
The nomination of an official scapegoat IN
the person of the Chancellor, or DR.. thinner
mann. or Helferich, or the adoption OF
electoral reforms, can have only temporary
effect. for no power exists by which the Ger
man government give to the German
people the one thing that is necessary to re-
establish the former solidarity. Victory
alone can do that and victory is no longer
possible.

RusSia's Answer

n PEN-EYED admiration of New Rus
~ STA is disclosed in a number of edi-
torial pages. "The Globe" says:
Russia has furnished an answer TO the
doubts of the men Of little faith, who feared
she lacked the intelligence to be true to the
principles of her great revolution.
"Her soldiers are marching on. With new
ardor the Russian people have thrown them
selves into the task Of helping them march.
Russia's goal is peace peace Of Justice
and she is now following the only path by
which it can be attained"
"The Evening Suns" enthusiasm runs
thus:
Major General Hugh l. Scott announces
that the Russian army is going TO light In
that brief phrase he tells Americans precise
ly what they wish most 10 know in the whole
Russian situation. 1t is great news, gathered
in the right time by a manon whose obser-
vations past experience justifes reliance"
The Evening Post" estimates the eff
feet upon Germany of this Russian man.
Hesitation and il says:
at would be undertaking the resourceful-
ness Of Germany military leadership 10 sup
pose that Russia's preparations could have
been carried on without the knowledge Of
the enemy. Yet while Hindenburg may have
anticipated the Russian advance. he did not
correctly estimate the strength Of the at
tack"

coNs.DER AAsoR QUESTIONS.
British osseia,s Concerned with Con.
ditiona AftAr fha War

London, JulyAN26.-tC correspondence
The vital question Of labor after the
war and the relat dnship between mas
ter and men is receiving particular at
tention in official as, we'll as trade
circles. A belated report issued by a
Subcommittee Of the reconstruction
committee for the permanent improves
ment OF relations between employers
and workmen has just been issued and
sent out to the leading employers as
sociations and trade unions.
In a covering letter Sir D. Shackel-
ton says that the war cabinet Is deep
ly concerned that timely measures
should be taken before the end Of the
war for the future of industry.
The report recommends the estab-
lishment OF an organization for each
industry representative Of employers
and employees to consider matters af-
fecting the trade from the point Of
view Of all those engaged in It.
One Of the chief factors of the de-
mobilization problem. consists OF the
guarantees given by the government
with parliamentary sanction, to restore
trade union rules and customs sus-
pended during the war. The report
considers that the definite co-opera-
ton and acquiescence by both employ
ers and employed must be a condition
Of any setting aside of these guaran-
tees and undertakings and that IL new
arrangements, satisfactory to all
