An army of paid and unpaid men and
women turnout the land; some enlisted
and some drafted-few of the latter
however, who are giving advice freely
that the people of this country save
save!
And all are doing their utmost to save
But, how about the government itself:
Is it saving in proportion to that of the
people,?
A couple of months ago Victor Schlued-
er enlisted in the navy at the naval
recruiting station at Minneapolis; he
was accepted by the examining physician
and sent home to remain until called
upon to go to training camp. He re-
ceived his orders and three or four weeks
ago left for the east. After remaining
there for some time he has now beer
rejected by an examining physician
here.
When the first call was made fol-
volunteers, Lowell Metzinger enlisted
for service in the coast artillery, and was
sent to St. Louis for examination, was
rejected and sent home. 49,.
These are only two cases out of many
thousands, the cost aggregating the
price of great many Liberty Bonds
And it is all absolute waste to the govern
ment, while us common folks are constant
ly coached in the art of saving.
Before long the movement of troops
from one training station to another
will be in force over the tan land
The men in the north are to be sent tc
camps in the south and the southerners
are to come north. The railroads must
furnish the rolling stock, and this traffic
must be taken care of first, at all hasards
The fact that serious car shortage
exists makes no difference to: the govern
ment. The public can go hang. Except
that it must save, 50 the government will
have more to waste.

The only thing on which the price has
not advanced is advice.
Fighting Militory Censorship

The Masses; a New York magazine
is fighting against the military censorship;
It is an uphill fight. It is fight against
the arrogance of the military powers of
the United States, and as the Masses
says, "the cards are stacked against it..
The August issue has been declared
unavailable, and the post office depart
ment refuses to specify the particular
article or cartoon which is in violation
of the law. It has also refused to inter-
pref the law to guide the future action
of the publishers, and even refuses to
pass on advance proof sheets.
In d circular letter sent to it's sub
.scribers, the editor of the Masses charges
the department with using the espionage
bill, passed June Is, 1917, in direct
violation of the wishes of congress as
evidenced by it's defeat of the drastic
censorship bill.
''This arbitrary exercise of authority
constitutes a clear cut suppression of
free speech and opinion" says the
letter. ''Its object is to frighten us and
thru our uncertainty as to what the law
is, prevent US from making any free
! comment on the war;
Injunction proceedings have been
started against the post office department
to compel the authorities to allow the
Masses to pass thru the mails.
People who have desire to assist this
magazine in it's fight for the rights of the
people and free speech, can show that
they are behind it, by sending the amount
of one years subscription to The Masses,
which is only $3.50, and do their 'bit''
in worthy cause.
This is not an advertisement and the
publishers of the magazine do not even
know that it is to be printed; it is simply
written in desire to assist a worthy
publication in it's fight against an OF
noxious and unconstitutional measure
perpetrated by an organization which
cannot stand just criticism. =, !.

E1Cor SkortoQe". Is Defended,

Criticisms, many of them probably
unjust, has caused the railcompanies of
the country to issue statement regard
ing the car shortage situation, and to
give their version. The charges often
published, to the effect that the carriers
are not keeping up with the needs of the
public, but have used their. incomes to
declare big dividends rather than in
serving the people. This, the railroads
claim, is not true, and publish some very
convincing figures to substantiate their
contentious.
The American Railways association
mas compiled figures which show that
during the ten years previous to Deem
Eber 81, 1916, the railroads of the country
purchased 678,000 new freight cars. and
during this ten year period, on an average
:of ninety-two out of every one hundred
days the railroads of the country offered
more cars than the shippers asked for to
carry the nations traffic.
The railway people contend that a
&aet usually lost sight of by their critics is
7thetconditions that had continually con-
tfrnnted the roads for those ten long years
before the '::War business suddenly
and without warning descended upon
them of the millions which the railroads
lost thru a lack of proffered tonnage,
but also in the cost of maintaining
equipment in excess of the public's needs.
The statement claims, and probably
truthfully, the carriers lost during those
ten years, the gross sum of $1,O57 ,977
because the shippers of the country did
not have enuf freight to keepy their cars
moving.
In those days, the railway claim
especially during the winter of 1914
most of the steel mills were working or
half shift and thousands of workers
were tramping the streets looking fol
work.
Then, says the statement, would have
been the time for the railways tt h we goi
into the market for thousands of new
cars and other equipment, but they
neither had the money nor the credi
to do so. Many Western roads, which
have gone into the hands of receivers
were unable to obtain the release of nev
equipment which had been ordered be
cause they we're unable to meet the re
auired payments. -, ~.
The railway companies declare tina
the future is anything but bright, al {
that the car shortage situation is likel!
to grow worse during the balance o
1917 and the sooner the public is fore
warned the better.

status: but Savoy and at least parts of
Malta and Corsica certainly ought to
be returned to Italy. France ought to
receive part of Canada. and Rumania
ought to have the best territory of all.
Ireland ought to be freed.
Perhaps it would be as sensible to
take one more step into the future and
say that the countries of the entente
ought also to respect the historical
rights OF nations now neutral. and to
give South Africa to the Teutonic
powers and Gibraltar to the Spaniards.
BY doing so the entente certainly
would achieve the glory of disinter-
ested idealism and could suggest the
same course of action to neutrals to
whom their note was addressed. Why
does the entente not ask that Texas
be returned to Mexico?

BERLIN. January 19 tby wireless to
Sayville. n. Y.)-A member of the Ger
man reichstag. Matthias Erzberger. one
of the leaders of the Catholic centrum
party. has expressed to a member of the
staff of the overseas News Agency his
opinion on the note of the entente al
Nes in reply TO President Wilson. Herr
Erzberger is quoted by the Overseas
News Agency as saying. auong other
things;
THE general impression made upon
me by the note of the entente is as IA
vorable as could be. The note was not
addressed to the central powers. but to
President Wilson. which also means to
all other neutral countries and nations.
If. however. ten responsible govern
ments, among which are those of world
empires. present in this fashion their
defense to neutral judge. then it is to
be supposed that ii is an appeal to
common sense and that what is al
legged is plausible as justihable of their
action-in this case. continuation OF the
war. even after a peace o1er was maze
by the central powers But nothing OF
this can be discovered in the entente

that everything done, or ever to ne
done by the entente Gs JuStlhable =

that the action of the central powers
must be stigmatized without hearing as
criminal and hypocritical People
who try to persuade others by such
reasons are unable to allege better ar
sguments, but. above all it seems to me
that the note is only directed to a neu-
trail by the entente in order in this way
to reach their own nations.

Thinks Them Not in Earnest.

Then you suppose that the peace con-
ditions suggested by the entente in their
note are not earnest or serious?" was
asked
Herr Erzberger replied: YES and no.
These demands would be earnest if the
entente were able to force them upon us
they are not earnest because. otherwise.
could find no explanation for the incon-
sistencies-I dare say. insanity-of such
suggestions.
The powers OF the entente in their
note first seem to feel remorse for the
German peace offer by speaking for
peace based on the principles of justice
and mutual respect among the nations.
and which therefore would guarantee
lasting peace to the world. But after
having acknowledged the letter of such
exalted principles they in every word
of their note oppose it. The entente
want the reorganization of Europe
from top to bottom and wish to base
this reorganization upon certain prn-
ciples which are not always consistent
with each other and often even clash
among themselves.
In the first place the entente want
to base this upon respect of nationali-
ties and of the rights of all small and
large nations. and, in the second place
the entente desire that the provinces
and districts which were formerly
taken from the entente by force or
against the will of their inhabitants
tente contends, at the same time that
she herself in every case ought to be
Judge and plaintiff in one and that she
herself be established as court and
render judgment.
"Heads Win; Tails You Lose,
TT goes without saying that these
strange proceedings are only suggested
in order to Danish the territory of the
central powers and replace that of the
entente powers. With the most serious
and sincere countenance the entente
invite the central powers to play the
little game of Heads l win; tails you
lose and they call this the defense
of a lasting peace and of justice in the
life of nations
IF the entente honestly and sincerely
were ready to practice the principles
they suggest, then the world would
have quite different appearance from
what the entente really wishes it to
have. Why should only the central
powers back out of all the territory
which formerly belonged to the en-
tente powers? Why not go one step
further and suggest that the entente
nations also ought to follow this prin-
cfple OF historical custom?

tory which under those conditions
