THE COUNTER OFFENSIVE.

1t is to be hoped that Tor today at
least the system of communication be-
tween Germany's spies in America and
the kaiser's headquarters in Berlin are
in proper working order for the trans,
mission of the news of the election at
New York and Chicago. The loyal
voters of those two cities united yes
terday in a counter offensive which
without question takes lot of the joy
out of the Potsdam war lords sloat'ng
over his armies victory in Italy.
In Chicago. where there was 4 clear
cut battle between loyalty and so
cialistic. pro-German. pacifist disloyaI
ty, the patriotic American citizen won
a victory so pronounced that the city
may well declare that it has wiped
out the dishonor which befell ii when

Peoples council with haven.

WAGES AND THE WAR.

A great many persons in America
are alarmed, and not without cause, at
the labor unrest which is evidenced
in some quarters by the demands for
increased wages. 1t is noticeable that
most Of these demands affect bust
nesses which are directly related to
the nations prosecution of the war,
and it is but natural that they are con-
sidered by critics the expression OF
opportunists' selfishness as distinct
from patriotic sacrifice.
Not long ago demand was made by
railroad switchmen in Chicago for an
increase of so per cent. and strike
was declared in an effort to force the
railroad companies to agree. Only yes
terday it was announced that shipyard
workmen along the Pacific coast were
disposed to renew their strikes and re-
ject the wage increases ranging from
10 to 81 per, cent which President Viii
sons representatives consider fair.
In different sections Of the country
wage demands are being made by rep
resentatives of few crafts in the face
of recent increases which their en-
ployers have granted voluntarily.
In justification the rising cost Of
