lumber prices will get lower then. (See
editorial above) With all the rebuilding
that must be done in war-wrecked Eu-
rope and the lack of facilities to turn out
anyway near enough quantities to fill the

upon to make huge shipments of lumber
over there That certainly won't have
tendency to lower lumber prices in
America, either.

do it now! 1t is almost certainty that

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Ame eri-
can troop transportation to Europe
during the next six months may be
greatly curtailed.
AS a result of the German u boat
menace, discussed with surprising
frankness by the British ministry of
marine, the foremost question now be-
fore this country and the allies Is the
disposition Of American tonnage.
The United Press is able to state
on highest authority that the grave
question has arisen whether the Unit.
ed States is perhaps crowding her
side Of the struggle in forcing over
thousands Of soldiers at this time in.
stead of moving supplies. The argl.
ment Is advanced in favor Of reducing
troop movements to the other side
along these lines:
France alone has a million tons OF
supplies tied up on this side of the
Atlantic which cannot be moved
while American troops are being
transported.
France, Great Britain and Italy
need fuel. food, oil, etc. sorely, ship
ment of which is prevented through
lack of tonnage.
Germany's man power Is waning E
and careful compilation completed
by the allied governments indicates
that the allied man power properly
supplied, can win the war more quick
ly than If the present man power is
augmented by thousands Of American
troops, at the sacrifice Of facing in
sufficient supplies through lack Of
tonnage. .a
The u boat menace Is not under
estimated by the u. s. government
There is not the slightest fear that
German can win through her sea
scavengers. but there is appreciated
the need for very serious considera-
tiOn Of the most effective way to
meet the situation created
The British shipping ministry yes
terday called upon this country for
six million tons annually. This figure
cannot be realized before late in 1913
or early in 1919, it is officially ad-
mitted. The program for the next
eighteen months falls short of the
British demand and more than a bill
lion dollars is involved in the work
now under way. After this period
has passed, however. it is stated the
United States should be able to pro
duce six million tons annually
Means Of conserving shipping and
the tonnage available until
this great building program nets
ships, is the vital question under in
ternational discussion here today.
For every American soldier trans
ported, his weight in supplies must be
sent over every thirty days. Ammuni-
tion. food, everything needed by the
sammy must go from this side for
there is not more than sufficient to
supply the tommy and the poilu now
over there. Thus it is argued there
is strong reason for training and
equipping a great army on this side
of the Atlantic, but holding up it's
orders until vast amounts
Of supplies, now vital to the allied
fighting cause, are moved.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Chancellor
Michaelis' statement to the relchstas
main committee that the German
government has not announced its
willingness to aoandon hostile territory
means the kaiser is holding up his
abandonment policy for purposes OF
negotiation.
The kaiser wants to trade back Bel
GUM and other occupied districts to
save the Hohenzollerns. 1t is impos
sible, therefore, for Michaelis to an
nounce a definite policy even at Sc
cret meetings Of the reichstag main
committee To do so would be to
pledge the kaiser to a certain course
of action aud to force from him the
open confession that the fortunes OF
the Hohenzollern family mean more
to him than the misfortunes of Ger
many. There can be no certain course
Of action by the kaiser from now until
the close of the war. Everything is
uncertain for him. He does not know
how much or how little the allies Will
accept to call the war off and yet he
has to play with time limit irrevoc-
ably fixed upon him. The time limit
has been caused by Americas ent
rance into the war, for the Germans
cannot continue to hold out indefi-
nitely against Americas strength adj
ced to the allies.
The kaiser, therefore, is compelled
to accept day by day policy. His
ONLY fixed sentiment is that the Ho-
henzollerns must not be defeated by
the establishment Of democracy in
Germany. Bargaining on this basis
is now the duty Of Chancellor Michael
is. The kaisers chief official is bait
ing hooks for nibbles. When he feels
ever so slight a tug, he pulls up the
line and cuts off part of the bait, to
see whether the lesser portion will be
sufficient to hook sucker.
This is why Michaelis, true to the
craftiness of German diplomacy, de-
ries he ever offered to evacuate any
conquered territory. Not one inch of
land seized by the Germans will be
given up except under extreme ne
cessity. while the kaiser runs the Ger
man foreign office. Morality and mag
nanirhity are regarded by kaiserisn
as vices. Not these reasons, but the
prospect of defeat and Hohenzollern
destruction, are the only ones that
will weigh with the kaiser.
