AN INDEX.

1t has been pointed out-and rightly, we think
that the German submarine campaign of ruth.
less has been a reliable index of what the German
militarists thought of their chances in the great
war.
! In 1914, when victory was expected in three
months, there was no thought of a ruthless sub
marine campaign. By Jan. l, 1915. some British
warships were sunk by submarines, but no merch-
anthem were attacked without warning.
By that time, however, it began to appear
that the war would be a long one. England tight
ened her blockade and the German armies were
having a hard time of it on land. 1t was then
that the war machine chiertians turned from con-
centrating their energies en- land to the ~possibili-
ties of the submarine.
The United States was at once a strenuous OBJ
%jector. Notes passed to and fro. Following the
Arabic singing, in August, 1915, the American
government gained a promise that passenger
ships would no longer be sunk without warning,
and an indemnity was promised in the case of the
Arabic.
Why this sudden change of front? Merely
because the tremendous thrust at Verdun was be-
ing prepared. Germany expected to win victory
there and believed the aid of the submarines
ruthlessness would not thereafter be needed.
But victory did not come. And finally, as
every one knows, the war machine conductors,
despairing of decisive victory on land, adopted
the final submarine stroke of ruthlessness that
precipitated war with America.
That it was the last desperate resolve in evil
dent. The chance of victory seen in this "last
straw was seized only when chances of victory
elsewhere were gone.
1t would appear from this that to win the war
the allies first of all must cripple the submarine
campaign. This done, the land fighting will take
care of itself-and Germany knows this as well
as we do.

SACRIFICES OF ALL.

Our we'll known trusts and monopolies have
been having a merry profteering time of it since
and for some time before the great wars ~tentacles
reached out and got us.
But these combinations and pseudo-combina-
lions and quasi-combinations and gentlemanly-
agreed combinations must get our from under the
tree of enormous profit and sacrifice like the rest
of US.
They must not be permitted to look upon the
present as a time for continual and continuous and
everlasting abnormal money -getting.
It is the duty of the government to "show them
where to get off,"
Head them to the sacrifice altar of patriotism,
where they can be shown how to shed some of
their inherent rights" vested interests" and the
like, and feel the weight of war like he rest of us.

AN INTERESTING POLITICAL ROW.

The row between Premier Borden of Canada.
and ex-Premier Laurier, opposition leader, over
CONSUMPTION, is interesting politics, which would
get greater attention in the United States if we
cultivated the habit of reading up on foreign poll
tics a little more. Borden's CONSUMPTION bill is
bitterly opposed by Laurier, who demands a re-
ferendum on the proposal. Laurier claims par
lament has no right to pass such a bill without
a vote of the people. As a rule, they have more
"referendums" on big issues in Canada than they
do in the United States. We vote on politicians
ever so often and accept their promises, which
sometimes go unperformed, while in Canada and
Britain many of the leading issues are thrown to
a vote of the people. This is one reason why Lord
Northclife claims they have a more elastically
democratic government than we have. However,
there are some things that would surely meet de-
feat by referendums, and which become law with
out them and turn out the proper caper.

To Save Juice.

Washington, Nov. 49, Faced by
the realization that coal production
cannot keep pace with the present
rate of consumption, the fuel admins.
tration is ready if necessarys to guar
antee supplies only to domestic users
and industries either necessary to the
war or absolutely vital to the public.
1t is estimated that limiting the use OF
electric advertising to two and a.quar-
ter hours nightly will save half the
fuel devoted to this purpose. In a
statement accompanying today's order
it was estimated it might become nee
essary to eliminate electric signs en-
tirely.
The order makes an exception for
signs used by small merchants for
purposes of directing the public to
their places of business. If these are
not unreasonably large they may be
kept lighted while the place is open
for business.

Queen Liliuokalani, the former col.
ored sovereign of the Hawaiian
islands, died Monday. With the death
of Queen Liliuokalani has passed the
last vestige of royalty in the Hawaiian
islands. The eighth and last monarch
to hold sway over the entire insular
group, she reigned for only two years
and that brief flicker of sovereignty
was entirely extinguished more than
twenty years ago in revolution
which led to the annexation of the
islands to the United States. But not
Notwithstanding her effacement from
public affairs, Queen Liliuokalani new
er abandoned her royal pose nor lost
the affection OF her former subjects,
and continued to her death a most
interesting personality. She was
born Sept. 2, 1888, in Honolulu. Her
name was Lydia Kamakacha. In her
memoirs, 'Hawaii's History by Ha-
waits Queen" she traced her ances-
try back to the foundation of the Ka-
mehameha dynasty, and claimed rela-
tionship to the royal family of the
five sovereigns of that name. On Jan.
6, 1895, just two years after being
deposed, Liliuokalani was arrested
on the charge OF being participant
in a plot to overturn the existing gov
ernment and resume her sovereignty.
Eight days later she formally re-
nounced all claim to the throne. Al
ter nine months confinement in her
former palace, she and forty-eight
others were pardoned, and when, on
August ~, 1898, Hawaii became a
territory Of the United States, she de-
clared her fealty to the country that
had adopted her. The later years Of
her life Liliuokalani remained quietly
at home. She had ceased to reign as
a sovereign monarch, but she still
reigned as queen in the hearts Of her
people, the native Hawaiians, who
yenerated her and paid her court as
though she still sat upon the throne.
She was a composer of hundreds Of
songs, some Of which be-
zane popular in the United States.
