The German Lid"

mo news is good news" for the
German people these days, for all
that is news to the outside world is
bad news for them from the view
point of the Kaiser and his cohorts.
More failures at Verdun, where the
Hohenzollern is making his last des-
perate efforts; more Hindenburg re-
treats before the steadily advancing
armies of Great Britain; the landing
of an American army in France, the
definite alignment of the people of
Greece on the side of the forces fight
ing for liberty-knowledge of those
things is bad for the German people,
especially bad at a time when the
spectre of starvation looms larger
and larger.
The more rigorous censorship in
stituted at Berlin means that in the
opinion of Kaiserism the German
people must not be allowed to know
what the world knows. When men
among them make bold to talk of the
necessity of the democratization of
Germany 1T would be unsafe for the
suffering masses to read the notable
address of Mr.. Lloyd George, deliv-
cred at Glasgow, in which the sharp
distinction is drawn between peace
negotiations with the present Ger
man government and negotiations
Win a uSInOCTdIlZeQ GeTHlany.
Terms of peace, as Mr.. Lloyd
George made clear, must have effec-
tive guarantees behind them. The
only guarantees which the Allies
could accept from the present Ger
man government would be written
in the terms of heavy indemnities
with security given for payment. The
government of Kaiserism has shown
itself n thing of 'perfidy, an institu-
ton which has no respect for its
treaties-a pariah among govern
ments because its plighted word is
utterly valueless. With such a gov
ernment the Allies can treat only on
terms of abject surrender and of
heavy indemnities.
With a democratiZed Germany, a
Germany freed of Kaiserism and of
the truculent militarism before
which the German people have been
subservient, the Allies could and
would make better terms. In such a
government the German people
would have a voice.
1t would be worse than embarres s.
sing for the Kaiser and for KAISER
ism to have the German people know
and understand, particularly at this
time, the distinction which the Allies
draw between them and the German
people. Hence the clamping down
of the lid" on the German press.
This serves, however, only to post
pone the day when the German peo-
pie will know and understand.-New
York Sun.

A FLY IN THE OINTMENT

~ ECRETARY DANIELS, Secre-
tary of War Baker, Admiral
~ Sims. Admiral Benson and
everybody who had anything to do
with getting the American troops
to Europe safely are to be congratu-
lated. But there is one gloomy side
to the brilliant achievement. Some
where in the Navy Department there
is traitor. Somewhere in the Navy
Department there is a man who
plotted to send every one of the
thousands of American troops now
in France to the bottom of the
ocean. That man must be found and
shot. He is too dangerous to be al
lowed to remain at large and an ex-
ample must be made of him that
others may hesitate to play the same
role.
Censure Daniels as we may for
permitting anybody aside from him
self and Admiral Benson to know
the character of the sealed orders
the captains of the transports car
ried to sea, his frank admission of
treachery in his own department is
refreshing. He recognizes the grav-
ity of the situation and apparently
means to sift the mystery to the
bottom. To that degree he is to be
commended.
That the attack of submarines in
force can be successfully met when
army transports are accompanied
by cruisers or destroyers has been
demonstrated, and that is a highly
gratifying discovery. if the word
can be applied to the proof of a con-
tention long made by men familiar
with the fighting qualities of our
naval units. Once we shall have
routed. out the spies from the Navy
and War Departments, transporting
troops to France can be made al
most as safe as ocean voyaging in
times Of peace The nation well may
rejoice.

MISGUIDED ECONOMY

markets, the factories, the farms of
America. With all these added bill
lions in action, there can be no eX-
cuse for extravaganza.
Extravaganza. at any time is a
business burlesque-is the virtue of a
vagrant. Thrift is the word that we
want to use. Saving is the only saving
grace for some people, but you know
Saving" to most folks means hoard
ing. Hoarding cash now is almost a
crime. The man or the woman who
boards cash now hampers produc-
ton, clogs the wheels of commerce,
compels the merchant to buy less,
and forces many employers to lay off
help.
Hoarding cash hits the big depots
of trade more than any other enter
prise-hits the department stores in
this country in a vital way. And when
the department stores are hit, the
whole country resounds with the
recoil.
My suggestion to the good and
thrifty women of America-to the
purchasing agents of our country-is
this: Practice thrift, for this is a
personal and patriotic duty now. But
always remember that what we call
saving does not mean misguided
and extravagant economy.

THE NEW RUSSIAN DRIVE
M ORE important even than tn,
M successful drive of Genera

MI ORE important even than the
lW successful drive of General
Brussiloff on the Galacian
front is.G the failure of Prussian
diplomacy to make separate peace
with Russia, as is indicated by the
powerful assault of the reorganiZed
armies OF the new republic upon the
Teuton lines. At every point the
efforts of Germany along diplomatic
lines have failed. Almost all of them
have gone down to defeat Just as
they appeared to be at the point of
success. This is because they have
not been sincere. In every case the
barb to the hook has been concealed,
but concealed so crudely that the
frightened fish has dashed away AT
the very moment it seemed about to
swallow the bait.
The early successes of Brussiloff
must not be received too optimis-
tically. 1t is not likely that he is in
position to drive home the advan-
tage he has won. The demoraliza-
ton of the Russian fighting force is
of too recent date to permit of that,
perhaps. But he has demonstrated
at home that the German foe which
thousands feared might any day start
a victorious march upon Petrograd is
not the invincible host it has tried to
picture itself as being. Russia now
knows that it's army, properly
equipped, can win battles. The SOL
diers of the republic have duplicated
the successes of the Brussiloff armies
of the empire a year ago. All that
Brussiloff requires is the equipment
and freedom of action. He has
proved by the greatest and most sue
cessly drive of the whole war.
against the Austrians year ago. that
hei soldier of courage, resource
and rare ability.
AS was suggested in these columns
when Brussiloff accepted appoint
ment as commander-in-chie of the
Russian armies in the field, he must
have been well convinced In his own
mind that he would be able to weld
the disorganized troops into an eff
fective body and that he had been
assured of the hearty support Of
Petrograd, else he would not have
risked the ruin of reputation bril-
liantly achieved and absolutely se-
cure so far as history is concerned.

THE DAY AFTER
THE American notion of O,

H HE American notion of one holi.
day at time is all wrong.
There ought to be a day off,
before each holiday in order to prop
erly prepare for the great occasion,
another day off, to get back to
earth again, and the holiday itself
sandwiched in between. As it is, the
poor holiday-maker gets all tired out
holding down his job and planning
his celebration and the morning after
he fails to hear the alarm, reaches
the office or shop an hour late and is
called down by the boss, who men,
tally, if not verbally, sets him down
as an migrate and loafer; and the
poor wretch goes shrinking to his
post wondering how it is that the
boss is always down early on the
mornings that he is late.

What a Pen Can Do

John d. Rockefeller wrote a check
for $5.000,000. Some day that will
be forgotten; IL was only a small
thing for him. But you can write
a line with a pen and make some-
body happy or break a human heart
Judd Lewis wrote a little poem with
b pen that will live forever; Presi-
dent Wilson wrote message des-
tined TO carry the banner of democ-
racy around the world. 1t is said
that Francisco Madero could have
saved his life by signing his resigna-
tion as President of Mexico with a
pen which was rendered him. The
pen is a wonderful thing, yet some
of US who try 10 make a living
scratching with one find 1t mighty
hard to do.-Austin Callan in the
Temple Mirror.

Brussiloff must have been better ac-
quainted with the possibilities in
Russia even than those at the
national capital, for no more than 4
few weeks back the heads of the
provisional government. while pledg-
ing themselves to continuance of
the war. saw no possibility of a
successful offensive before next
spring.
Whatever be the ultimate result of
the renewed fighting in the East,
great good has been accomplished by
the demonstration of force. Conf
dence will have been restored in
Russia, Germany will be hampered
by another vigorous foe, German
hopes will drop to a new low ebb
and the German fighting forces will
have been reduced on the west front.
1t is not we'll to become too opti-
mistic, but the possibilities now open
ing up are so vast that the allies are
entitled to jubilate and certainly they
may be permitted the speculations in
which they are now engaging.

How Can I Serve?

There are strange ways of serving
God,
You sweep a room or turn a sod,
And suddenly to your surprise
You hear the whirr of seraphim
And find you're under Gods own

And building palaces for him.
There are strange, unexpected ways
OF going soldering these days.

You're asked to conquer, with a

But suddenly you're in the ranks
And fighting for the rights of
men!

Liquor and Food

1t may be necessary" says the
New York Times, to restrict the
waste of foods in liquor, but that
jsitS1tion has not yet developed"
Then the alarmist warnings of a
critical food shortage must be cruel
ly false. How can the President and
expert publicists and well-informed
newspapers proclaim the need for
minute economies in the American
diet, and still maintain that there is
no need to stop the diversion of
more than 5000. 100000 pounds of
grain, sugar products and other food
materials to the making of intoxi-
cants? IL such an item of waste is
not worth considering, how can i'm
mediate passage of the food control
bill be represented as an urgent
need?
Pro-liquor logic reaches the cli-
max, however. in the solemn sug-
gestion that the prohibition move
ment affords an easy refuge and
concealment for those whose real
motive is that of opposition to the
war altogether" The discovery that
pro-German citizens are fighting to
close the breweries gives a welcome
touch of humor to an undertaking
which lacked that kind of interest.
