Washington, April 23.-Immediate
diversion Of a number of stea mships
from the toastwise trade to trans-At-
lantic service was forecast by officials

head. will work out plans in co-opera-
tion, with a general railroad board

ton Of rail systems during the war.
Legislation introduced in both the

MORE GERMAN DECEPTION

Another instance of tho deception
of the German people by the Imperial
government Ia the twist the German
censor has given to some Of the de-
velopments Of the trial OF the former
Russian war minister for treason.
The censor draws erroneous conclu-
sions from scraps Of testimony which,
without their context. can easily he
pieced together in such q manner as
TO delude the German people into the
belief that the Russian government
had planned this war and prepared
for it as Systematically as any gov
eminent honeycombed with graft and
treason could prepare
The Allied authorities who have
access to the whole record OF the
trial OF General Soukhomlinoff, make
it clear that the German government
Is suppressng that part OF the record
that would tend. to eXculpate Russia
from blame for bringing on the war.
The attitude Of the German govern
ment shows that it fears the truth of
It's motives In provoking the war be-
coming known to the people. and that
Is why It Is constantly feeding them
with fairy stories about their lib
critics" being assaulted by the Allied
nations, for the preservation Of which
the Kaiser was finally compelled to
fight. Is It any wonder the word Of
such a shifting ruler can not be taken
In the more serious matter Of peace
negotiations or promises?

WHAT Is THE ANSWER?

Those who are having an intimate
personal experience with the increas
ing upward tendency Of the cost OF
living necessities are not much en-
couraged to hope for any relief from
the greatly advertised agencies that
have been established by the govern
ment for the control OF the food re
sources Of the country. There has
been a great deal Of wise deliverances
on the law OF supply ana demand, but
even when that ancient logic ls put
10 the test it has fluttered, floundered
and fallen with the rest Of the gtyings
out OF economic wisdom.
We have had the anachronism OF
establishing minimum price fol-
wheat and a maximum for coal, but
with no effect on retail prices. Now
the National Chamber Of Commerce
has been moved to inquire into the
possibility OF establishing a maxi,
mum price for all commodities that
make up the necessities Of life, which
looks like plain rejection OF the
old fetish OF supply and demand.
The whole problem Is puzzling the
most analytical minds Of the country,
sind the confusions and contradictions
were never better shown than in the
following observations OF the New
York Tribune of the situation in that
State:
The Da>rymen's League. which few
months ago forced an increase in prices
by withholding milk from this city until
the distributors met its terms. has de-
cided that there must be another raise.
This, the distributors say, will be
passed along to the consumers. and
there Is no doubt. in the light Of past
experience, that it will be. The only
reason given by the farmers. other than
