who, on the theory that the nation was becoming too seh-indulgcnt praying for war bcforc-hGrc was uny real cause for It. As a matter of fact it may be rather wholesome medicine for many Americans to be compelled to live more plainly and be satisfied with simpler pleasures. If the war lasts quite d while they may learn that the taste for complex enjoyments is an abnormal one. and our national life may be rid of some of the ostentatious spending which was so wasteful and. after all, so dull even for the spenders.
 War comes bringing gifts as well as taking them away. This one may teach Americans to reverence the wealth of the earth and the labor of men, and not recklessly to waste either of them It may become bad form to live so that one contributes less to the national wealth than one takes out.

Perhaps the great man theory" of
 history will be discarded forever when the events of this decade are finally unravclcd, Such great men at leas. as were governing Europe when the war started will be stamped foq all time as most falliblc men; for the pur- pose and limitations with which the war begun are hardly in any case what l they were two anG q half years ago. 1 From being war between govern mcnts, two of which-Austria and Gcrmany-had not played fair, it has
 become War between ideas. and for
 ideals; from being a dispute about
 territory, in which common people could have little interest and find lit
 tic profit. it has become a war for and
 against autocraCy All the fighting
 nations are nomh.ally controlled by
 groups of dictators. but, at least out
 side of Germany, the people seem more stiIb lli'i' t' ''' hlCt''tlHb ip lIlt bi'- tntors This is shown by the very lberalty of the terms now most ire quently mentioned They are such terms as stir the man in the street to enthuSia Sm-uo more loaiGers, no more cZlrs no more irresponsible autocra- Cies, no more mihtarism to suck the life blood of civilization. If there are reactionares who lend their approval to this propa ganda only because it has military value they are doomed to dis appointment: democracy is good strategic move to win the war. but it ig also an ideal which is burning itself into the proletaIian soul and will not fade with the comii of peace A great movement has begun without most of us noticing if. The United States is in II and is being carried along with it. Also 1t will change greatly because of it. How much of this did the great men of 1914 see?
 How much of it is due 10 any man or
 small group of men? In all reality
 it is humanity that is stirring today:

When an individual rctrenchcs he naturally begins by cutting out, not his necessities, but his luxurics. \ nation has 10 do the same, If it's retrcnch- ment is to amount 10 anything. This means that the burden must fall more heavily on the rich than on the poor. this necessary. The very word re- ienChment implies a superhuity. an income over and above what is neccs- sary to comfortable life. an increment that can be dispensed with for a time without causing any real hardship. A hoy growing 10 lusty young manhood nowadays runs the chance of having to risk his life az a soldier, and a man acquiring or inheriting a fortune runs the much smaller risk of being de pl1vcd of its full use during period nf wnr In either case the citizen gives according 10 his means, sometimes Der honal services sometimes money oc- oasionally both, For every step in the conscrlption of men, whether by law or by mere pressure of public opinion, il is simple justice that there should also be a step in the conscription of wealth
 Taxes laid on widely-uscd commodi- ics are not conscrption Of wealth, for their effect is only to raise prices and diminish the purchasing power of money-including the governments money. In other words they lead to imitation. But taxes on incomes. ex- cess profits. and inhoritances cannot be shifted off on the consumer. They hit the bulleye every time. Their ef- feet is two-fold to diminish the con- sumption of luxurics and to retard tho accumulation of capital. According 10 conventional economic theory the latter effect is ordinarily hurtful, but in time of war the accumulated capital is taken to serve public purpose with which private capital does not com pete. and this objection does not hold.

A SOLDIERS CHANCE.

Such stories as those that a sold
ier's life in the trenches averages
but seven days. or seven weeks, or
whatever the figures may be, are
given rude upset by statistics re-
Gently complied by Roger w. Bah
son, the Wellesley statistician.
Mr.. Babson is the man who COM
piles statistics on business and mar
ket conditions. His tables have won
him fame and fortune.
Recently he has turned his atten-
ton to the war, and he estimates
that in the armies of France, four
teen men out of fifteen have been
safe. While France has suffered
terrible losses in the aggregate, the
forces engaged have been so great
that the average loss is kept down.
1t is a rather comforting thought
to friends and relatives of American
soldiers to know that their chances
of coming out alive are fourteen out
of fifteen, instead of sickening at
such false statements as "'the aver
age life of the soldier in the trenches
is only seven days"
