NO MORE FREE PUBLICITY.

The government of the United States is the
most notorious of ''moochers'' when it comes
to dealings with newspapers. Heretofore pub
Fishers have donated millions of dollars worth
Iof valuable space in giving publicity to official
notices and news stories, at times the latter be-
ing but thinly yelled announcements of char
acter that would command price if coming
from any other source. But publishers view
point is changing-it may be said to have
passed the period of change and to have ar
rived. The Washington officials are finding it
increasingly difficult to secure free publicity
in the way of reading notices. and little Of
that class of matter is now found in the col
umns of the press. A. M. Dockery, third as
sistant postmaster general, evidently has
heard the bell ring but fails to locate the
clapper, for in a notice sent to postmasters he
says: "Postmasters will cause this to
be published in the newspapers when it can be
done without expense to the department. Of
course, without expense to the department. !"
That is the same old story in the same old
way.

OUR ACTUAL PERIL.

The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States warns the country of its peril A crisis
is approaching fast, the people are told, when
any day may bring the warfare to shores.
There are also possible, even probable, contin-
gencies which may throw the brunt of the
mighty struggle on us. IF Russia should col,
lapse, if the British fleet should be worsted, if
the submarine menace is not checked or if
great reverse should be met upon the western
front, the tremendous burden of crushing mill
tarism would devolve on us.
What has seemed to be the impossible has
happened so often in this war that it may
easily happen again, and any one of the fore
going contingencies might transfer the scene
of mighty battles to our shores. Our peril is
and real, and the national body urges
the president to tell the people so and rouse
them to a sense Of the danger in which they
stand.

has said we go into battle in order to save the
day for posterity, provision be made for the
payment of the larger part of the cost OF the
war by bond issues.
But at best the taxes will be high; living
cost for the nation, for corporations and indl-
viduals will be high, and the only way to keep
going and pay the bills is to keep business at
a high level. This cannot be done if people
refuse to buy what is needed now, or if plans
for work which should be done are halted be

PLAYING THEIR LAST CARD.

! Two countries in Europe in which ruling and
so-called upper classes are in sympathy with
Prussianism are Sweden and Spain They are
practically the only neutrals on the continent
which are half friendly to militarsm and able
to give it moral and perhaps some little ma
terial support; and the wonder is natural
therefore why the German U-boats destroy
Swedish and Spanish ships.
The explanation evidently is that the i'm
Iperal government in setting out to sink all
enemy ships determined also to brighten ali
neutral shipping from the sea. To this end and
las the desperate last play on which all their
hopes of victory We're staked they resolved to
sink everything they found afloat-hospital
ships, Belgian relief ships and even vessels
carrying to Holland and Sweden food, some
part Of which would find its way to Germany.
The U-boat carried on is mlitarism' =
defiance to mankind. The malign incubus
which has fastened itself upon the German peo-
pie is perfectly willing to destroy the world
and to sacrifice the last of its subjects in order
to save itself from overthrow. The Prussians
are stalking everything upon their last card.
