Gain Truer Perspective.

The immediate diplomatic results have
been to lengthen the British view from
a near-sighted absorption in the i'm
mediate war needs to a broader con-
sderation of world reconstruction aft
erward. Similarly the American view
point has been foreshortened from abb
sorption in the future to the immediate
pressing emergency. Both sides feel
they have gained a truer perspective.
The British came virtually without
thought of an early peace. peace terms,
or the world reconstruction to follow.
Such subjects had been avoided abroad
because of the greatest urgency OF the
not to throw the allies into discord by
divergent aims. Americas interest.

Irish Flung to Ground.

The effect of these mines was simply
tremendous, even upon the British troops
who were near them. The Irishmen were
just opposite one Of the biggest mines
sprung They had got to their feet in
authorization of the final word4 to move
forward as the earth opened two hundred
yards in front of them. The force Of the
explosion was such and the earth shook
SO violently that every man was flung
down The men were up again in an
instant, however, and pressed forward
happier than ever.
The manner in which Catholic and
Protestant Irishmen fought together
over the Messines ridge will ever be
bright page in the English history of
the great war. It was stroke of genius
on the part of the army commander
who thus brought them together. They
had stiff hand hand fighting at sew
eraI points, and no troops in the world
are better in this style of warfare To-
day many smiling men from Ulster and
from the south of Ireland were to be
seen in their new trenches wearing
German caps and helmets. and with
broad grins across their faces.

Mr.. Kingsley, speaking on behalf Of
the insurance policyholders Of the
country. told the commission:
Having been granted and having
assumed the power to to regulate these

surance directors have bought rail-
road securities with sound judgment
your duty to use your power to pro-

Mr. Maddox referred to what he
called 1.-The credit situation, which is
presented to this country because of
the war and of the enormous sums of
money which must be raised to carry

Argues for Sterilization.
Mr. Maddox, pleading for the STABILIZE

the commission grant the asked for
Increases to the railroads. SO that
public confidence in railroad securities
might he stimulated. To help the rail-
roads he argued. would help the gov

Mr. Oldham said that experience has
shown that railroads whose net earn

charges do not possess the credit nee
essary for economical financing, and
Mr. Schenck said that if an advance in
freight rates is granted the railroads
their securities will be in greater de-
