Hope for German Success

The announcement that in April
100000 tons of shipping was de-
stroyed b. the submarines and reports
Of growing organization in the Rus
sian army have greatly strengthened
the feeling OF confidence in the Ger
man public. and evidently are tending
20 counteract tie feeling Of depression
over the long continuance OF the war.
and 10 encourage hopes that peace
with profit may be obtained.
The German majority Socialists are
quite human enough in that case 20
take for Germany what advantages
may he obtained In accordance with
the spirit Of Scheidemann's earlier
statement IN the Reichstag that he
would not refuse al indemnity II u

declaration In the Reichstag on
Wednesday tina. the Socialist idea OF
peace without annexation IS not in
compatible with the moving Of some
boundary stones.

Had No Authority

The Danish editor gave himself out
20 be a pleuipotentiary both OF the
German majority Socialists on the
strength OF his conversations with
Philip Scheidemann here. and of the
international Socialist Committee IN
Stockholm In both instances being
really unauthorized.
An interesting light on the spirit IN
which the idea Of peace conference IS
approached is cast by an editorial in
the same number of the Social Demo
kraten" The editorial is headed

men and pictures the former a a
malign influence which is attempting
TO defeat all efforts for peace
The cooler attitude Of the German
Socialists and the German government
toward the peace conference, as mani
tested by the discussions in the Ger
man press. appears TO be the result OF
the realization by the Socialists Of the
difficulties in the way of securing pres
cnt and positive results in the direc-
tion Of peace through the Stockholm
conference and Of growing optimism
in Germany a to the possibility OF OBJ
tanning more German peace through
the pressure Of the submarine cam

Changes In Baseball

The baseball world is feeling the strain of the
war situation It is predicted that the magnates OF
the various leagues will make important changes
when they hold their winaer meetings. Suggestions
of shorter seasons are prominent, also curtailment
of the number Of players each team can carry. elm
ination of expensive training camp trips. ETC.
Baseball like many other features OF American
life has got along in an extravagant way. The ma
jor leagues start early in spring and keep at 1t we'll
into the fall. 1t is a mystery how they can make
these long seasons pay II team falls little be-
hind IL will draw more OF a crowd in big city
than some crack local will draw in small town
will drop way down.
The fans demand the best talent, and compet
ton is so that the teams pay enormous prices
for favorte players. It is very difficult business
proposition now to run ball team. The American
public has become too critical, and IL player makes
a few excusable the fans curse the team and
will not attend the games
AS consequence many towns that used to run
semi professional teams cannot finance them
and there is baseball except what is played by
shop teams and high schools
1t would seem good business judgment for the
big leagues to concentrate to shorter season. Peo-
pie could get just much sport by attending these
frequently during the shorter season. and the cost
would be less. In the small towns good article Of
the fans get to the point that they will support such
a team the town afford, and not expect 4
bunch of major leaguers.

Keeping A Pig

Mr.. Hoover says all to keep pig. Well.
well. WELL How this does bring back our boyhood
How well recollect the subterranean porker Dad
used to maintain. the famdus pen at country
cousins. Any live boy has peculiar feeling for the
pig He does not have to be prohibited the privilege
of digging in the dirt. Nor does he have to be sent
upstairs with bread and water for putting his feet
in the trough.
And then those joyous days when the pig
capped his pen, and the whole neighborhood dropped
their regular occupations and joined the chase. That
sporting event. Just why they have to
grease a pig at picnic is not clear. His soft
and slippery hair is elusive enough without any
ternal application.
And then the fellows speed. Who would dream
that such short and spindle legged creature could
distance the runners of the neighborhood? And that
quirky and abbreviated tail. so many times grasped
often slipping through your fingers.
Then there the juvenile psstime of poking

gestion on his part. No country home complete
for the boy then without him, and there was lonei-
when he was gone.
Our modern towns too parlorfed for keep
ing a pig We are too fearful Of the barnyard odors
on which fathers grew fat. But the pig is not
necessarily dirty When cleaned up for cattle

stick him in dirt and pour swill him and
then blame him for being a hog. But We need his

How Liggett Disposes
OF His Goods

Louis X. Liggett, of the Liggett
Drug Stores. has written an article
for the December American Maya
zine in which he says
1--WE have given great deal Of
thought to the item Of color alone,
to find what kind of ribbon on can
dy boxes, for instance, and what
color in various other wrappings
will attract the largest number Of
buyers. In selling candy we have to
keep it constantly in mind, too, that
while women are the candy eaters,
men are apt to be the candy buyers
especially when it comes to the
higher priced goods. They buy for
gift purposes. And man will, Of
course, pay more for a box of candy
to take to his sweetheart that she
would pay IL she were buying 1t for
herself.
I'VE make it point in our
stores to have what might be called
suggestive grouping Of articles.
When a man comes up to buy safe
ty razor. he finds various other tot
let misunderstanding soap. tai
cum powder and the like. in the very
same case. or near by. where his eye
may easily take note Of them. II he
needs any such articles he is remind
ed OF the fact and, perhaps. asks for
them. Our clerks are instructed to
make tactful suggestions about other
articles the customer might need
but we are careful not to make this
defensive"

GREAT FLEET is
EDISON'S SCHEME

WASHINGTON Nov. 19.-Thomas
A. Edison, chairman Of the naval
consulting board, and Henry Ford
went to the shipping board today
with suggestions that may provide an
emergency feet OF steamers almost
overnight.
Edison suggested that the govern
ment take over all the American sail
ing vessels afloat and convert them
into twin screw ships wherever prac-
ticable.
Mr.. Edison offered q simple solu-
ton Of previous difficulty, the twin
screw. He explained that these
could be SO placed as to neutralize
the effects OF the vibration. 1t was
said many Of the ships could be con-
verified probably in as short time as
thirty days.
Many vessels of from 700 to 1900
tons could be made into steamships
with little effort. and be given a
speed ranging from ten to twelve and
twenty knots.
Ford offered to turn his automo-
bile plant over to the shipping board.
He suggested that IL might be put to
excellent service in making small
parts for boilers Of engines.
The shipping board will conduct ex.
periments Immediately along the
lines suggested by Edison and will
consider Ford's offer as we'll.

Will Christmas Be

In view of these costs, labor should be moderate

Needs OF The Railways

The estimate that the railways need a billion

it for other than the Of the sharehod
Of the railways. They ought to get the relief
they need in the form in which they have asked for
1t, Mere permission to raise their rates in proper
ton either to their to their efficiency is the
appropriate economic remedy 1t would be bitter
dose for those who have hardened their hearts to

to take il for their own good as we'll as for the relief
of the railways.
Thereafter the regulators would remember that
there two sides to regulation and that protection
of the railways and the country is duty much
as protection of shippers. The problem has passed
beyond solution by the railways, beyond the
commission and Congress. 1t is in the hands OF all
serious minded men who have noted what has been
done to the railways and their exemplary conduct

Concentrate On War

In Germany it is said that 90 per cent OF the
Industries of the country are concentrated on war
work This includes of course. not merely muniton
work but food production. In our country the In
dustries that supply the people with luxurles are
going about as usual. Henry Ford has nobly shown
the way in offering the services of his plant for war
work and shutting down the production OF pleas
IRE cars His example should be followed by many
others.
Our peopie can go without some of their candy
and their pleasure vehicles and the frlls and the
fripperies Of Hfe but they can not go without sue
cess in this great war. 1t is going to be a long war
and we should teeth and set aside forms OF
work that simply drag and hinder
1t seems a shame that there is any difficulty In
getting the necessary number of ship building me-
chancs. Here is the very heart of our war work.
We are going to send great army to France, and
they must be we'll fed and must supply the usual
amount of food and munitions to our allies. The
submarines are sinking ships rapidly and the supply
of tonnage is already short, Munitions are
waiting on the docks of the Atlantic ports for ships
to come and take them.
Meanwhile in the shpyards the cry for help
goes up Men are striking in some OF them. While
the work drags our boys will die for lack OF the full
supply of munitions.
Every man who had experience in a ship
yard should volunteer his services to the govern
ment at this crisis. Many other mechanics with
general skill at tools could be used. Employers should
be glad to let such go and should promise to
take them back the old job when the war Is over
1t seems the hight of folly to let this most essential
part of work drag. 1t is up to any man who
help to offer the needed assistance at this crit
ical moment
