How comes It that during the re-
cent hurricane the wind blew. say, a
hundred miles an hour, and at the
same time the storm itself Travelled
only twenty miles an hour?
Likewise, how does it happen that
northeast storm passed off IN
north or northeasterly direction, and
not in a southwesterly direction7
These are questions propounded
yesterday to the local weather man.
To the popular mind, not versed IN
meteorology, the movements Of q
hurricane are an unsolvab1e riddle.
In the interest of accuracy, Mr.
Reed wrote the reply to the questions
asked him. and it is quoted in full
herewith.
Those questionns are quite simple.

GERMANY TOOK THE CUE


We can fancy the German imperial mind
working somewhat after this fashion with
relation to Italy.
Austria was a weak sister of the ALI
ance. The more pressure Italy brought
to bear upon her, the weaker she grew, both
in morale and loyalty to the German cause.
In other words, there was ample reason to
believe that if the Itaffan pressure con-
tinued, Austria, if not in position to make
a separate peace, would at least have ceased
to be an effective ally.
1t is entirely thinkable that Germany
undertook the offensive to affect Austrian
political opinion Now that the drive has
been SO effective, it is also thinkable that
she seeks to put Italy entirely out of the
struggle.
Thus events lead on to events.
With Russia out, Belgium stricken. Rou-
mania down. if Italy should be driven into
inefectiveness. what would be left? Amer
lea, France land England.
The answer is this. England and France
coud hold Germany. She will be beaten bv
America. And the decision, so far as human
events thus far make for decision, will be
handed down on the Western front at some
good day when this country shall have
played its part and made its sacrifice and
done its bit for mankind and its own soul

cpNsERyATIoN-OF ENERGY

The major portion Of these funds, of
eeuFse, Is supplied by the government. But
there are numbers OF agencies that are
operating that depend fer their support
ben popular subscriptions. Notably the
ID Cross and the Y: M. c. a.
II these subsidiary agencies are neces-
to the prosecution of the conflict.
Re Is no question of that fact. But 1t
Il open to Question, If the public Isn't being
dunned toe much for too great a variety
OF needs.
Why not pool the whole sum, raise the
loans to the government to take care of the
extra expenditures and conserve alike the
effort that ali these various campaigns de-
mand, and at the same time conserve the
public patience?
There are numbers of systems in vogue
now that will not endure throughout the
war period. We will learn as we fight, and
apply the lessons that experience teaches.
And it seems to be rather clear that this
plan of scattered effort in raising money
should come in for very early revision.
There are two aspects of the question.
The first is, the public grows so tired OF,
or perhaps to use better expression, so
used to these campaigns that the separate
appeals, no matter how worthy they may
be, lose their effect.
That's ordinary psychology of John
Smiths mind.
So that as time wears along, John Smith
becomes so case hardened to these appeals,
that when the time really comes to exert
his patriotic impulses to the fullest, the
edge of his enthusiasm for the helping the
cause has been worn down.
That's the first aspect.
The second is, the loss of energy and
powers that these separate campaigns en-
tail There is vest amount OF labor at
cached to every one of them, in which hun
dreds and thousands of men and women
are employed And this despite the fact
that man power is now, and is becoming
more and more so, one of the prime needs
of the critical situation.
In its practical aspect, the question re-
solves itself into this: that certain sums OF
money are necessary to prosecute the war
and they have got to be raised. In reality
it makes no difference to the public wheth-
err the money goes into machine guns
shrapne1, Y. NJ. c. A. work, Red Cross or
Soldiers and Sailors relief
So why discriminate in the raising of it
It may possibly be argued that man
will subscribe to relief fund who would
not buy Liberty Bond. And that another
man or woman would help the Red Cross
who does not take an interest in the
Y. M. c. A.
But it so happens that men who have
bought most bonds have likewise sub
scribed to most of the other funds
And it might be argued with good deal
of reason that the subscriptions to the re-
l;ef funds now fall upon certain class Of
citizens, whereas if they were inclusive
with the Liberty Bonds this benefience
would be more broadly dispersed Because
it is certainly true that more sorts and
conditions of people buy bonds than sub
scribe to the other funds
