The raise in freight rates, and the
absurd advance in coal costs are all a

beginning, certainly has no end. The
government is responsible to the peo-

stops, by REIMBURSEMENT of prices if
necessary, but it should Immediately
lower the price of coal at least S1.50

The Public: Americans need the
rude disturbance that comes newt
ably from reading the articles Of NJ.
Cheradame. Even after a discrimin-
ating criticism has subtracted all
doubtful elements, it remains pre-
sentation that is deadly antidote for
illusions and a corrective of compIa-
cency. The task to be accomplished
stands in its stark stupendous naked
ness. The central fact is that Ger
many has already secured her major
object in the war, a domination of her
allies, a Central Europe, a Pan-Ger-
many, -Bagdad solidity
that will secure her a position of over
whelming advantage in any future ag
gression. II she can maintain this
position until it is consolidated and
its resources organized, the menace to
the rest of the world is doubled or
trebled. That this aggregation of
power must be broken now while it is
weakest is a fact patent to every in
telligent person.
