governmental action which will protect
the public from the trade pirate.
To choose middle ground with i'm
practical idealism on the one side and
constituencies price manipulation on
the other, congress must exercise de-
gree of Judgment which its recent ex-
hibitions do not indicate it possesses.
The nation must hope for a rule OF
reason which will produce a law exer-
cising proper control over production,
distribution and price of foodstuffs.
Meanwhile there is crying demand
for exercise of common sense by the
general public. Hysterical buying OF
necessities and the boarding of food.
stuffs by householders makes possible
the market manipulations for which a
remedy is sought. The course of wis.
dom is to buy in normal quantities and
to refrain from playing the food spec.
ulator's game by draining the market
and affording ground for the assertions
that coincident shortage and demand
justify high prices.

KEEP BUSINESS NORMAL.

Wise efforts are being made by big
corporations and by trade organiza-
tions to prevent the public from carry
ing wartime economy to the limit OF
hysteria which would reduce merchan-
dising to mere distribution of actual
necessities and nothing more.
AS far as it is possible, Americans
should keep business at its normal
stage during the war. Every individu.
al knows best his financial limitations
and the demands which war taxes and
increased prices will make on his peck
etbook. He may deny himself those
extravagances which at any time are
unwise. and still be able to make the
purchases which add to his pleasure
in life and the comfort of himself and
his family
This is no time for extravaganza, to
be sure But neither is it time for
over-timid boarding of money when
investment offers dividends either in
cash or in the enjoyment of possession.
America is at war. but the war will
end some time. and business will con-
tinue. The war taxes which are to
pay the governments expense in the
conflict are levied on the basis of nor
NAL business conditions. Unless bust
ness does maintain its normal level a
readjustment of the tax schedules
must be made which naturally would
result in an increase in direct taxation
to account for the loss in receipts
through indirect taxation.
These facts argue for sane economy
course between extravaganza and
parsimony 1t is the course that will
permit business to continue at its prop
er stage and enable the individual to
feel as little as may be the effects OF
the war.

WHAT THE DRIVE MEANS.

Some little realization of the enor
nifty of the job in which the British
and French armies have been engaged
since Easter is afforded by perusal OF
an article by Captain Henry j. Reilly
an army officer who has just returned
from the front.
In the course of his article. which is
a plea for the preparation of an army
greater than even the war depart
ment's plans have contemplated, Cap
tain Reilly says:
To attack successfully demands
two things. The first of these is
a force so much stronger than that
OF the enemy that the enemy
troops cannot stop its advance.
The second is a constant stream OF
achievements such that, in spite
ofsthe heavy casualties inseparable
from a modern attack. the total eff
fectives engaged will not only not
decrease. but even increase. This
increase is necessary because
there must always be sufficient re-
serves on hand in order that full
advantage may be taken of any
weakness which may develop any
where in the enemy's lines.
Thus even in the ordinary course
of an attack an enormous number
of local reserves are absorbed as
the attack progresses, even when
nothing more is done than to keep
the first line TT its original
strength. It was formerly consid-
cred that an attack could be sue

cuAos-ruEN WHAT,

Viewed from any angle but the Tcu-
tonic one, the situation in Russia in
spires only anxiety. Out Of the tangfe
Of mismanagement which comes from
meddling by visionary radicals with
an amateurs government. the only
certain fact appears to be that the gov
eminent itself is not worthy OF the
name.
Seldom has an occasion demanded a
strong hand with such insistence as
does the present crisis in Russia. The
few practical men who were hoisted
to power by the mass of revolutionists
were weak enough TO believe this mass
could be taught to govern itself. Prince
Lyoff. to whom the world looked for a
course emulating that of Washington,
thus far has failed by miles to come
up to the mark. He made the mistake
of surrounding himself with a cabinet
which included several of the imprac'
teal radicals who had been prominent
in the revolution. and seems to have
