ference will be OF the highest i'm
portance. 1t will have an effect on
the immediate future of the war.
These will be a certain redemp-
ton of German prestige in the Bal
kans and the Near East owing to
the present state of things in Rus
STA; but this revival of confidence
among Prussia's neither allies will not
last long unless Hindenburg Is able
to get the decision" for which he
is fighting; unless he can render Rus
STA hors du combat for months to
come, which is unlikely, despite the
Russian Generalization. 1t is not be-
lieved that Germany can spare the
forces from the Western front neces-
sary to take full advantage OF the
Russian debacle. There Is a "lull"
now in the West which is merely a
prelude to q further determined Of
fensive by HaIg and PetaIn.
From the point of view OF politics,
a withdrawal of the saloniki troops
might be the height Of unwisdom at
the present moment. There is no
doubt. however, that the shortage Of
man-power at other pivotal places
makes the temptation to take them
home difficult to resist.

Give Us a Milk Law.

Just as essential, and every bit as
imperative as war legislation. is a
statute that will protect the District $
milk supply.
Health Officer DR.. William c. Wood
ward declares that unless Congress
acts at once the District will be
forced to take the chance Of getting
filthy and decomposed milk through
out the entire summer.
The delay of the law and an off,
cial Interpretation OF the local milk act
Of 1895 restricts the rigid enforce
ment Of the act which the constituted
health authorities deem absolutely
necessary.
How many members OF Congress
have given the matter the serious con-
sideration it demands: Apparently
very few. No action has yet de-
veloped.
Let's put a hypothetical question
to the 435 members OF the House of
Representatives and the So men,
bers Of the Senate. How long would
YOU delay in writing laws if you
felt that the life. the comfort and
the health Of your own offspring was
menaced by a tainted milk supply ?
No longer than it would take to
get the machinery in the halls of
Congress working at top speed, would
be the answer that every red-blooded
legislator must furnish.
1t is time for action. Strengthen
a law that now permits, or at least
does not prevent, a possibly tainted
tongue from licking the stopper of a
milk container and thus determining
its fitness for consumption by the
stomachs Of babes and growing
children.
Congress should stir itself at once.
While we are adopting every sort of
legislation to conserve the health and
strength of our army, give some con-
sideration to the health and develop
ment Of the tiny units Of our future
armies.

The Allied Council in Paris.

A new deal in the Balkans must
come. The allies have scored an IN
disguised, naked failure there; and 1t
is a failure, unfortunately. that Is
quite beyond repair. That fact Is
now patent to the world. The entente
must now realize there is no need
Of making their failure more complete
and more palpable by persisting in tao
tics which are bound to be as barren
Of results in the future as they have
been in the past.
There was hope that, with Greece
in the war, the hybrid army at Sal
onIki might amount to something. The
collapse of Russia has sent that hope
glimmering. Release Of pressure on
Bulgaria from the east means that
there Is no hope Of an allied
offensive in Macedonia. There is a
growing military element which
doubts the wisdom of maintaining
the sarrail forces at saIoniki any
longer. They can be more effectively
used elsewhere. Whether this ele-
ment will prevail will be seen at
the coming Balkan conference to be
held IN Paris. a conference which
the American government has been
invited to attend. but from which
Il VIII stay away.
The whole war hinges on the Bal
kans. 1t began in that ill-starred,
Inflated region, and doubtless it will

F;y. Billion, More.

The new "sinews Of war; asked of
Congress serve warning on Germany
that American participation In the
world eonnict Is not going to be that
IDLE and academic thing that Prussian
publicists have proclaimed to her mis-
guided people.
We are past the kindergarten stage
now. We are not one Of the entente.
but we are going to stand on an equal
footing with them so far as main
tanning the struggle to save civilIza-
ton Is concerned. America Is going
to DO her share. That share Is bound
to become increasingly large as the
months pass by; we are going to hold
the purse-strings for the allies. and
thereby secure a dominant position in
their councils. our budgets will mount.
our man-power win be drawn upon
to an extent now hardly realized. and
we viii present to the world the spec
taele Of the worlds greatest democ-
racy organized up to the hilt' for
war.
The "chores' and the routine Of
preparation are now almost behind US.
Perhaps this Is an overstatement. The
chief thing is that the initial stages
perhaps the most difficult stages, be-
cause the least tangible-of MOBILIZE
ing the nation as q fighting machine
have been practically accomplished
The government now has q frm grasp
on all the threads. Some Of them
may break and have to be repaired;
but none OF them are ensnarled or
entangled, unless 1t be the shipping
situation. which is now certain Of
prompt solution.
Five billions added to seven billions
makes a huge sum. but it is hardly
more than a prologue, The nrst-
named total Is for army purposes
alone; 1t is Secretary Bakers estimate
Of what our military requirements will
be before next June. It undoubtedly
means that a second. and perhaps
third, draft call will come within
the next eight months. This means
an army OF 100000. without counting
the regulars and the National Guard.
The problem OF transporting even a
fraction of these men to France il
awe-inspiring; but American organic
ing genius and American gold will
find the way.
1t is clear that the Russian COL
lapse has had marked effect in the
war councils OF Washington. It means
We will have to take Russia's place
in the war. We can tolerate no pros
pect of defeat or even of a stale
mate. We must be prepared to night
for years. In this way lies the road
to peace, for indisputabIe evidence that
America will fight to the bitter end
will do more to bring the war-crazed
German autocracy to its senses than
anything else can.

reports from the copper market
Those who purchased the copper do
not say what the price they paid for
1t was. They were only too glad to
get the metal. for there is imperative
need Of II. So also, they purchased
large quantities OF antimony and 9TH
er minerals, and black walnut wood
in very large amounts for rifle stocks.
These purchases are only one item in
the expenditures all along the line
which the government is now making.
The aggregate is already enormous
and suggests the reasons why Secre-
tary McAdoo a few weeks ago was
frank to confess that the governments
expenditures for twelve months fol-
lowing our entrance into the war
would involve the payment of some

sary not only TO approach the people
for q second loan. but very likely for
several successive loans
Already the government IL having
many millions for lumber, much of
which Is to be used in shipbuilding.
The payments which the government
will make, even though the price
which 1t pays is low, for steel may
amount in a year to a billion dollars.
That is the estimate which was made
here based upon the prospective orders
OF the government, for steel which
will be so great as TO require the
entire capacity, possibly, Of the United
States Steel Corporation itself.
