GERMANS LOSE STEADILY.

It is self-evident to observers of the fighting abroad that the measure of the Germans arms has been taken.
 Though it is equally evident that tho British and French do not gain the important points that they should, considering the efforts often eXpend- ed, it is equally certain that a Ger man drive and victory is nowhere any longer considered seriously.
 The Hindenburg tactics are to stand pat" The kaiser is forced into a defensive war entirely; his troops have lost the initiative every where save against the demOralized Russians and insignificant Ruman- ians
 And it used to be military ten ct in Germany that an army lackins the initiative was on the way to de feat. Probably Hindenburg has de cided this rule much in the light of a "scrap of paper" and is depending altogether upon wearing down the al lies while depending upon a defen- sive battlefront. Flaw he can hope to do any such thing with 2,O00,oo0 American troops in the offing is be- yond our comprehension.
 It is our guess that by 1918, if the German submarines do no better than they have been doing-which is prob able-the kaiser will give up in the face of the overwhelming reinforce ments that will find their way to the allied fronts in France. Only a crazy monarch would fight on in the face of sure defeat.

GRABBING THE WAR PROFITS.

The senate of the United States is convinced that high taxes upon ne cessities that the rich do not con sume to greater extent than do the poor is no way to "get the money" with which to conduct the war.
 There once was a time when such sentiments in the upper house would have been thought impossible; but, as acute Washington observers nave in recent years pointed out, the upper body in many respects is the most democratic of the two houses of con gress.
 Sentiments enunciated ia the sen ate, that certain large trusts that are wallowing in huge war profits. should be made to pay greater share of the war burden, seems to meet with fav- orable response throughout the coun- try. The beauty of it is that there is not the semblance of partisanship

in the proposal, but leaders of both parties agree that more along this line must be an assured fact if un rest is to be prevented. When such a sterling Republican warholse as Sem ator Lodge declaims that it will be necessary to tax war profits up to 80 per cent. it is evident that the situa- ton and the sentiments revolving around it have knocked out all former "preconceived notions.'
 It is happy circumstance, that both dominant parties are working in close cooperation in Washington to the end that the war may be won with thoroughness and dispatch. The Republicans are supporting Wilson and the Democrats are listening to peoples speeches" from the Re- publicans.

l greatest industrial army ever re- cruited in the western world for such an emergency undertaking, has, with in little more than two months, con | 'structed over 24,0d0 buildings for housing the new national defense forces during the period of training | for service in France. So, when the selective army is called into service next month, it will find, ready and waiting, the most complete and per feet quarters ever erected for a fight ing organization.
 With cantonments, national guard camps and aviation stations complet- hundred points in the United States, there lis now being brought to close not alone the most remarkable record of building achievement in the history of the country, if not in the whole world but the most stirring chapter of activity ever recorded in the southern pine industry.
 Most of the cantonments, or "war cities," of which there are sixteen, are being finished not only on time, but in some cases have been complet- ed several days in advance of the September 1 estimate set ty the war department. Each cantonment con tains some fifteen hundred buildings, many of them large two-story bar racks.
 This remarkable achievement has been made possible by the means of the patriotic cooperation of lumber and building material manufacturers, architectural and engineering experts, contractors, and others, who were early called into the governments service to meet the nations necessity for hurried preparedness.
 The South and the Southern pine industry in particular, can derive spe- cial satisfaction from the success of the great undertaking for the lumber man, to a greater extent perhaps than any other class, was called on to | "do his bit" in connection with this | work Lumber was tle one big item that had to be provided promptly, and in immense quantities, and the gov ernment early called on the pine in dustry, with it's tremendous resour- wood needed. In fulfillment of these contracts approximately 200.000,000 feet of Southern pine has gone into l the construction of cantOnments and | smaller camps to haul which there has been required over 10000 freight cars, or between 23S and 250 solid l train loads of lumber. All this caus- ing price advances. By means of the
 Southern Pine Emergency distribut- 1 ing organization, it was possible of tentimes for trains of lumber to be
 loaded and moving to the destination l pOIulS WlLbiu SlA IlOuIS dllGI lhC Ol7
 der had been received from Washing
 ton.
 In this connection Fairfax Harrison,
 chairman of the railroads war board,
 cites, in recents official report, the
 following typical incident of how the
 railroads and lumbermen have work
 ed together in securing prompt deliv-
 cry of lumber at the cantonment
 sites:
 "An indication of the speed with which materials are being moved is
 contained in report from the canton ment at Louisville, Ky. Administra-
 tion buildings there were built from lumber cut in Mississippi pine for est the week before"
