GERMAN RAIDS AND REPRlSALS,

German air raids over England have been more
numerous of late. and several further air attacks have
been made on hospitals back Of the Allied lines In France.
damage to the threatened districts. In other cases the
raiders were able to kill a few people ana wound more
The hospital raids have resulted in a number Of deaths
The question Of what reply to these raids should be
made is a perplexing one. The attacks which have been
made on hospitals and on the civil population Of unde-
Tended cities have been deliberately planned, just as the
sinking Of merchant vessels with their crews were de-
liberately planned. and. like them, were brutal and in
human. There have been iusistent demands for reprisals.
These demands have been opposed by a large share Of
the British population. and by the responsible heads of
the government. The Allies are not making war on
women and children. They have thus far, with a few
late exceptions. preferred to endure tho outrases that
have been put upon them while putting forth every effort
to subdue the adversary by destroying his military power
rather than to compete With him in brutality.
1t il a question how long this policy can be. or
should be followed. An end comes t. all things. And
1t may be that before the war Is ended by other means
it may be necessary to teach the Hun a lesson out of his
own book, and to demonstrate to the German people
that they. mon. women and children alike, will be held
responsible for the wanton murder of men, women and
children by the consodenttousless government which they
permit to rule over them. and that they themselves will
be made to suffer in kind for every outrage Of this nature
which they permit their government to commit. When
one party to a fight continually bites and gouges, the
other cannot be expected forever to strike only above
tho belt

STABlLIZlNG BUSINESS

A period Of rapidly advancing prices is always q
period Of danger even when such advances are due 20
the natural developments of ordinary trade. Speculation
Is stimulated, and speculation carried to Its logical con-
leads to . grand crash.
During past months this danger has been enhanced
by the abnormal nature Of war conditions, and there has
been all through our recent period Of enhanced prices
tho possibility Of tragic results in a number Of different
For this reason the situation was speedily
developing into one Of stasnation in many business lines
what a day might bring forth. The knowledge
that the price of a given article was advancing. and the
probability that it would continue to advance. If taken
alone might tend to stimulate the purchase of that article.
But the increasing cost of everything pertaining to the
ownership and use Of that article. and the probability
that such cost would bio enhanced enormously counter
acted this stimulus and caused hesitation as to the
launching Of every new enterprise.
On the initiative Of the government, sometimes by
agreement With producers and sometimes by executive
order under authority Of recent laws. there has been In
agurated a movement which ia much more than a mere
lowering Of prices. It is q stabilizing Of prices, ana a
removal Of many Of the uncertainties which have sur
rounded the business situation. Wheat prices have been
cut in two. Copper is reduced a third. Beet sugar on
the coast is down rs cents per hundred. And 80 it goes
all along the line. It was dangerous for q man to make
a contract to do anything because before he had 1t COM
pleted the prices of his materials might have doubled.
The action taken toward reduced prices, II carried out
still further, will have the effect Ct removing much of
this uncertainty, and Of bringing conditions to a state az
near normal as is possible while war exists. @
