War Industries

THE creation of a War Industries
l. Board by the Council of National
Defence has robbed good many people of
points for criticism of the national gov
eminent in the conduct of the war. The
new board, headed by Frank A. Scott, Of
Cleveland, a friend of Secretary Baker
and former chairman Of the General Mu-
nitions Board is the second big step at
Washington in the conduct of the war on a
businesslike basis. Observers of the sub
ject believe that the irregularity of all
governmental business transactions will
give way to regularity characteristic
more of great corporation than Of a re-
publican form of government. The board
will be expected to make contracts, see
that prices are uniform, keep them from
being unreasonable, and create industries
to make products necessary for the con-
duct of the war when such industries are
not already in existence. The survey and
control of the labor situation, which re-
cent disturbances show is greatly needed
for the progress of industry and business,
are also included in the activity of the
board. Hugh Frayne, of New York, is the
labor member of the board.

Struggling With the Budget

WARS luxury, on the basis Of the
W war budget for the coming year
presented to Congress by Secretary Nc,
Adoo. The bill of the United States will
be S20,000,000 a day, and something like
S17,OOO,O00,O0O to s20,000,000,0OO will be
Necessary to carry the nation through to
July /, including loans to the Allies, who
depend on the United States for financial
support. A large part Of this will be sup
piled by bonds. But the rest will come di-
rectly from the public, some by high tax
on large incomes and on war profits, the
remainder by taxes on necessaries. Con-
gresham Kitchin sees the poor man carry
ing the burden of war for democracy,
but it is probable, none the less, that sugar,
tea, coffee and cocoa as well as intoxicat-
ing beverages will bear a new tax which
will send them up in price.

sistence on a Congressional Committee on
War Expenditures. But the outlook is
such that observers have hope of allowing
the food question to join the safe resting
place of the shipping matter and that of
war industries. 1t was only the final in
tervention of the President which won the
place for Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Wilson's dec
Iaration' of the necessity Of one-man con-
troll of the food situation was so emphatic
and accentuated that the conferrees of
the Senate and House surrendered and the
three-man idea went the way of a good

rental ambition. But the attempt at divi-
sion fails; the American press sees
through it clearly, Russia is Indifferent
now to German reckoning, and England
answers through Balfour.
If Germany has been secretly hoping
for easy terms and a return to the house
of peace in the role of conquerer, the Bal
four reply-coming close on the Declara-
ton of Paris-must be disconcerting. The
time for a statement of terms has not
come-this from Balfour in an apparent
answer to Mr.. Asquith's request for an
open statement of "the objects for which
we are fighting there can be no Sc
curity for Europe until Germany is made
powerless. France, if she insists upon it,
must have again what Bismarck stole from
her; the states of the Balkans must have
their identity restored and guaranteed to
them; and as for Germany, only an inward
will-not this time a will to power-can
save that which is precious and worthy in
her civilization to the future of the world.

Calling In the Fourth
Estate

THE habit grows on the world of par
l. ley by headlines. 1t has been week
Of talk, with Michaels, Czernin, Erzberg-
er, Carson, Lansing and Balfour as the
actors in the international drama, punctu-
ated only by the sinister sound of battle
in Belgium. The diplomats are trying
new fashion as a concession to democracy,
and when the German Chancellor wishes
to reach world that is closed to his own
messages he calls in the journalists.
England is contemptuovs of the kind OF
peace the Reichstag wants and votes
down a peace resolution introduced by
James Ramsay Macdonald, Socialist and
Labor representative, by vote Of 14S to
10. Mr.. Asquith points out that the
peace the world would like to have is one
which will not waste the Unreasonable
loss and suffering which the nations have
shared and still share in common. Mr..
Lansing tells the student officers at Madi-
son Barracks that they will be fighting to
free their homes from the menace of inva-
sion, Of lost liberty. England hears the
echo and applauds him. Sir Edward Car
son, from his ministerial place, speaks to
The Associated Press and discounts the
Russian rout, finding a greater signifi-
canoe for the cause of world freedom in
the entrance of America into the war.
The Allies, comforting at Paris, decide to
end their military occupation Of Greece
for a greater concentration at the points
where concentration will count for most,
and announce no end to warfare until the
aims of the Allies are won.

The Drys Start a Six ear
Offensive

DROHIBITION still has an uncertain
l. road ahead of it. The Sheppard
prohibition amendment to the Constitu-
ton has called up as much Congressional
reference to states rights as the halls Of
Congress heard in all the twenty years be-
fore the Civil War. The Hardwick bone
dry amendment, prohibiting the purchase
OF use of alcoholic beverages, was rejected
by the Senate by vote of 60 to L. Sena-
tor Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania, drew
a terrifying picture in Congress of &c.
100000 people in twelve states of the
Union forced to bow to the will of minor
ity of 100000 in thirty-six states if the
amendment were passed. Senator Kenyon,
of Iowa, presented the problem of the
amendment as a choice between bread and
booze.
Ten years ago prophecy of COMPRESSION
al encouragement of national prohibition
would have been a pretty tale; no more
than that. None the less the Senate did
finally pass the Sheppard resolution by
vote of 60 to 20, and the end of the next
six years may see the bar become we'll
favored memory, found only in the talk of
graybeards. The House is still to be tested
on the resolution, but the foes of liquor
await the test with composure. The hope
of rum lies in putting off the vote until
after the present session, which still must
run to March of 1918. Perhaps when the
complexion will be changed. AS it now is
constituted, the Sheppard resolution has
little to fear. Product as it is of COM
mittees from both houses in conference,
the resolution will not need the executive
signature to become law. Then it will
be up to the states, rhree-fourths of which
must ratify it in six years.

been unable TO find The Austrian For
eign Minister, Count Czernin, replies to
Lloyd George in a speech in which he
speaks Of "revolt against the idea OF
prolonging the war;" Of an honorable
peace" for Germany and Austria, and de-
clares that "since, in our position OF de-
fence, we have no intention Of crushing
the enemy, the war will end sooner or
later in a peace by understanding"

men who pass out of the draft class by
going beyond their thirty-frst year. The
claims for discharge and exemption are
high in number as the draft progresses,
most of them based on the ground of de-
tendency.
Coincident with the real development Of
the draft machinery is the appearance Of
paciist fight on CONSUMPTION. Peace
propaganda in great quantities is being
sent through the mails. Legal bureaus to
fight the invasion of constitutional rights
have been established. On the document

DEACE hovers timidly over the
world, a bird that has been
plucked many times and views
with no favor the soft hand stretched out
from Berlin. Germany quickens to the
menace of the future and, finding little
hone in Russian defeat, tries once again
10 trick her foes to a parley. Haig
throws the dice again and the guns speak
as they have never spoken yet on the
Belgian front. But it is still war in
which words are as loud as cannon, and

the statesmen in chorus observers try to
make out some sense Of impending events

give the decision.
In all this America stands alone, see
ing a Job ahead to be done and preoccu-
pied with its details, forgetting, for the
moment, the whisper of chancelleries and
the hidden tug of diplomats for advan-
tage. Acceleration of the machinery of
CONSUMPTION brings the startling meaning
of war home to ten million homes. The
need of money and problems of raising it
press in on the public consciousness. Out
Of the confusion of democracy getting

The Guns Reply to Berlin

RUT there is still another answer-if
Il these were not enough-to an Aus
tria on the verge of breakdown and pitt
fully eager to conclude peace and to a
Germany that seeks to evade the conse-
duences of its infliction of three years of
terror. 1t comes in a language Berlin
well understands. The guns have been
roaring back and forth across the barren
strip of No Mans Land in Flanders for
weeks. Suddenly Haig comes to the at
tack and the German line is pushed back.
Perhaps Haig means to crush the German
line at one end and force the rest Of it to
retreat, leaving France behind. Perhaps
he aims at the U-boat bases in the North
Sea, depriving Germany at last of her last
weapon. Or it may be a final long cam
paign in war which so far has been act
ually a war of attrition, campaign of
pressure, with the hope of German ex-
haustion leading to a crumbling line and
the collapse of military effort. The battle
pauses, then goes on, giving promise of
being the greatest battle in the war. On
the Aisne the Crown Prince is still fret
ting, baked by the French and powerless
to dislodge them from the heights. OBJ
servers believe he foresees another German
withdrawal and tries desperately to win the
heights to screen his army in retreat.

Labor Troubles Continue

T AB0R continues restless, condition
IL which is not, however, confined to
the United States. Twenty-Five hundred
switchmen on nineteen railroads entering
Chicago went on strike last week be-
cause their demands for preference for
brotherhood members in employment and
promotion had not been granted The
strike was soon settled, but not before a
large part Of New York's food supply
was held up by livestock embargoes de-
clared by the railroads affected. The sit
uation also disclosed friction between diff
ferent sections Of the labor group, and an
attempt on the part Of the Brotherhood o.
Railroad Trainmen to stife competitive
unionism.
The weeks climax to the labor situa-
ton was the threat of general strike in
the Middle West would follow unless de-
