PLANNING FOR THE NEW ARMY

Final passage of the new army bill has compelled The dis
closure of some of the plans laid by the war department for
operations under the law. Greatest immediate Importance will
attach to the announcement from Secretary Baker that assem-
bly, of men under the selective draft will not be commenced I'M
til September. This date is about as early as possible under
the circumstances. 1t allows only a little over ninety days for
the accomplishment of the immense amount of preparation
that must be carried out. 1t is encouraging, too, for 1T suggests
that the experience of last summers mobilization of the ma
tional guard is not going to be repeated. Men will not be
taken until the government is ready TO provide for them. The
shortage of supplies, now admitted, is not alarming, for the
public is aware of the fact that for many months all our fac
tory output of war goods has gone to Europe. These plants
will now be speeded up on work for the home forces, that cloth
ing and bedding at least may be ready when the troops assem-
bic.
Eighteen of the thirty-tWo great camps will be located IN
the south, twelve of them in the new department of the south
east. This will permit carrying on through the winter the
outdoor work of training the soldiers.
1t may be assumed that the authorities will now move with
all due celebrity to prepare the army and that the delay will not
check the ardor of the nation, but the next three months will
give our people plenty of time to consider how costly our neg
lect is proving. Have we learned the lesson experience has
sought to teach us?

GOLDFIELD's PLEDGE OF YESTERDAY

Goldfeld spoke out yesterday and last night in answer to
the duestion-if anybody was asking the questiOn-where and
how she stood in relation to the war and where she stood In
relation to the presidents plan of raising and equippng an
army. 1t is doubtful if any community of equal population In
either of the forty-eight states of the Union has had as large a
number of men in a parade of any kind in recent years. There
were at least four persons here yesterday, aside from the gov
ernor and his staff, who witnessed the recent loyalty parade at
Reno. the Nevada metropolis, and they all agree that there
were more men in line in the Goldfield parade than Reno
mustered. Children were not admitted to yesterdays demon
stration by reason of an unfortunate epidemic.
And there were features Of that parade that stirred the
emotions of every man capable of emotion. Did you see that
flag of France. our great republican ally, who sent to us in our
initial struggles Lafayette and Rochambeau with their 1000
men. without whom CORVALLIS could not have been conquered
at Yorktown. and without whom that struggle would have been
prolonged if not forever defeated? And did you see the flag
of Servia. another of our alGes-an ally writing under the
heel of the German kaiser? And little Montenegro had her
cOlors in the parade, and in each instance these cOlors were
carried and followed by those who are helping and will help in
the struggle to perpetuate the right of government based upon
the consent of the governed.
And there was nothing more inspiring in the great meeting
at the Hippodrome last night than this unity of purpose, its
serious and set determination to stand in unison against the
assault that has been launched by the central powers of Europe,
prompted by the lust of power and a ruthless spirit of plumber
that halts not at piracy, murder or international anarchy.

THE BOHEMIAN DEAL

The current issue of the Bohemian Review shows why Be-
hernia has been placed under the strictest military rule, mar
tial law, in fact. But this is not something new, for that coun-
try has been under such rule most of the time, in effect if not
in fact.
1t seems that the new emperor has been spurned by the
Bohemian peoples. He must have resolved on a more drastic
araions for il, he made the proposal to have himself crowned
in Prague, the Bohemian capital, as well as at Buda Pesth, the
Hungarian capital, and at Vienna, the Austrian proper capital.
He was also willing to enter into agreements to spend a portion
of each year in residence at Prague, to better acquaint himself
with the wants of the people. He must have thought that such
proposals ought to enable the Bohemian peoples to forget all
their wrongs and the outrages that the war has forced upon
them. The best of the blood of the country has been sacrificed,
and the leaders of the thought of the nation have been method
ically imprisoned and ill-treated in their Imprisonment.
The Bohemian nation, therefore, rightly spurned the pro-
trian bondage. They announced that the coronation cere-
monies in Prague would not constitute a PREPARATION for all their
injuries. The presence Of the emperor of the house of the
hated Hapsburgs would be an insult rather than an honor to
the suffering people. The empty honors and tinsels of royalty
could not be turned into a palliative for their many wrongs.
Bohemia does not ask to have the house of Hapsburgs brought
to them, but they ask that it be removed farther from them.
They want not a puppet emperor-now a mere tool of the gov
eminent in Beethoven them, but they want national indie
pendence and personal freedom, freedom to develop themselves
and their resources according to the nature and genius of their
own people.
For all of these deiances Bohemia is now under martial
law, but the people of the land are willing to suffer still more,
if thereby they can come into ultimate freedom.

THE LIBERTY LOAN

The Tribune is printing today further details of the Liberty
Loan of two billion dollars and ventures the prediction that this
loan will be very heavily over-subscribed.
And why not? The very name of the loan is inviting, its
terms are inviting and every man who puts $50 or more into this
loan is rendering a patriotic service to the government at a
time when patriotism counts for something. The terms of the
loan are liberal, the payments can be made in installments and
there is no safer investment to be found anywhere in the world.
The man who cannot help Uncle Sam by shouldering a musket
can help him, at least, to buy the musket. II his responsible
bilities and undertakings at home are such that he cannot go
into the trenches he can at least help to feed the man who does.
And he can help to clothe him and help to buy the ammunition
he will need to hold the trench from the enemy or drive the
enemy out Of his own.
This war we are now entering is a very serious problem,
possibly the most serious this government has faced since it en-
tered the list of nations. The banks are subscribing for these
bonds on their own behalf; men of wealth are subscribing for
them in large amounts and they are doing it for two reasons.
They are doing it to help the government and they are doing it
to help themselves and their families, because they regard
these bonds as absolutely secure. Hundreds of banks, news
papers, department stores, firms and other business organiza-
lions have offered to receive and transmit applications for
these bonds, without expense to the United States or to the ap-
picants, and in this they are helping Uncle Sam.
There isn't a day in which we do not learn some new way
of helping Uncle Sam, and this "Liberty Loan" has opened a
number of new ways. And Goldfeld will take her part of it.

CHECKING THE U-BOAT

That there has been a checking of the U-boat menace
seems admitted in Berlin, as well as claimed in London and
Paris. In Berlin they say it is due to the lack of shipping on
the seas to attack. But this is hardly true, for the trade Stats
tics show that the imports into Great Britain for April made
substantial increases 100000 in grains and meats and
100000 in cotton. The fact that such shipments continue to
reach British ports shows that the policy of starving England
is not succeeding, even measurably.
And the submarine test is the acid test. The winning of the
war depends largely on that issue. That is realized in Berlin
and admitted in the allied capitals. If the Germans can do
with their U-boats what they hope to do and threaten to do,
then both England and France will be retired from the war by
lack of foods and eventually ammunition. Germany is making
desperate efforts to hold out to that conclusion, hoping all and
doing all. On the land the Germans are eXering no other eff
forts than those required to hold back the enemy offensives.
They are biding their time. They are waiting for their sub
marines to win the war.

THE NEW WOMAN IN GERMANY

One of the American newspaper correspondents, who wa:
in Germany up until the declaration of war, makes the follow
ing interesting statement concerning the development of the
modern woman idea in that country:
When went to Germany was not a woman suf-
fragist, but returned an ardent supporter of the cause.
| was convinced during my stay in Germany that if the
German women before the war had enjoyed a voice in
governmental affairs there would never have been a
great war in Europe. believe that when peace comes
one of the most influential groups in Germany which
will assist in maintaining peace in Europe will be that
composed of women. There are many people in Ger
suffrage is not being debated, it is quietly growing.
Women have played an important part in war, and they
will play an equally important part when democracy
begins to establish itself in the German empire. Woman
suffrage may not come as soon as peace is made, or
even a year or two afterward, but during the next ten
years it is inevitable. The war has started a woman's
movement in Germany.
The fact that there are now 100000 German women act
lively engaged in work that men performed prior to the out
break of the war gives lively color to the statement of this
correspondent that hereafter wOmans sphere in Germany vii
be a very different one from that of the past. These wOmeI
are working hard, and they are making good. They are con
Quoting office business, factory work and carrying on the
economic activities of the empire. They have imbibed the
elixir of industrial and social independence and they will no
quietly retire to the hearth stone when the war is done. MOI

Assistant ecretary Vrooman, of the department of agricul-
ture, rather excitedly announced that each section of this cOun-
try must feed itself or starve. Declarations of that sort are
incendiary and mischievous and it is becoming painfully mani
fest that the lid should be put on this historical gentleman at
once. The congested industrial districts of this country are
not going to "feed themselves" and they are not going to be
expected to. Nor are the mining districts. Moreover, any dec
laration to the effect that they are, especially when having Of
fetal authority behind it, is certain to arouse discomfort and re-
sentiment Just at a time when the government is urging every
factory and every mine to "speed up" A little more conserv-
atism in the utterances emanating from the department of agri-
culture would be appreciated.

EFFICIENCY ON THE RAILROADS

The American Railway association is moving to attain
more efficient practice in the movement of trains and the use
of motive power. Many details already are worked out and OPP
Grating officials are being urged to even greater Watchfulness,
that better results may be had. For example, by the speeding
up Of repairs it is stated the equivalent of $4,000 additional
freight cars NAV be thrown into immediate use. Similarly, by
reducing the number of locomotives under repairs and ncreas-
ing mileage slightly, it may be possible to keep in service 49,
CPS more locomotives. Just a little more care in firing will
save millions of tons of coal; every second an engine pops"
while standing costs a quarter of a pound of coal, and this
waste easily can be checked.
Simplification of methods and speeding up of operation
already has accomplished wonders and even better service is
easily possible. Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the association,
urges on all operating executives that they give this matter the
closest of attention, to the end that the service be brought up
to the highest point and the railroads show their patriotism in
an eminently practical way.
The railways are showing a good example for all lines of
activity. We may have thought we were doing business on
a pretty close margin, yet a surprising lot of lost motion may
be taken up under stress, with only good results to all.
The Italians also are going to try it again, toward Trieste,
the principal seaport of the Austrians.

ECONOMY BUT NO PARSIMONY

J. Ogden Armour has aptly described the difference be-
tween economy and extravaganza and wastefulness. Economy
means simly the intelligent use of our food and other products:
it does not mean that we shall not buy and sell and eat, Just as
we have been doing in the past. What the nation has been
warned against is the wastefulness that we have permitted to
become part and parcel of American life. We put every wear
S70O,OOO,OOO worth of foods into the garbage cans-and we
might as well place the estimates higher as lower. There was
never any excuse, any sense or any patriotism in such waste
funess. The war offers us a good excuse for getting on a
sounder business basis. in our home expenditures. This is a
good time for Americans to learn to spend wisely what they
earn. That is what the government has been trying to instill
into the minds of the people.
But such economies do not mean that we shall curtail bust
ness operations at the present, nor that we shall become either
panicky or pessimistic. "Hystercal economy" he says, "is as
much a menace to the nation as prodigal waste" In order to
keep things going we must each of us go about our business in
the usual ways, working, and buying and selling as we used to
do. The usual and orderly processes of business are as essen
tial to the winning of victories in this war as the training of
men and the making of munitions.

One cannot but wonder how the Germans keep so many
things going. Take the ro-German propaganda in Russia with
which they have almost upset the new Russian republic. What
industry, what energy, what trckery they do apply to every
situation.

Russia seems to be getting her affairs ironed out at last.
Russia is not going to strike a peace with either Germany or
Austria as long as there are kaisers in the way. That would
simply mean a truce of a few years and then the battles of re-
publicanism and democracy would have to be fought all over
again in Europe. Russia has been a bit groggy, having so re-
right at last.

Kaiser Wilhelm states that the United States has not gone
