WITH THE AMERICAN DE- STROYER FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, July IS, (By MaiD. - Take off the lid and show the peo- pie back home what fierce fight we're up against"
 Thus a highly-placed American naval officer, attached to the com mannd of this destroyer squadron, cndeavorcd to say something about grave situation, without being able to say anything definite. The of- ficers tell plenty-in confidence. The correspondents attached to the American destroyers know that ships have been destroyed by the U boats in far greater tonnage than at present they can be produced. They know also, something of the methods by which our dcstroyers ere fighting the unseen menace and of the handicaps which are hamper ing the fight-handicap which give the Germans the advantage and which the Americans back home could remove in q few months.
 But the naval officer couldn't tell what he knew, for publication. And tho correspondents are on their honor to submit all their work to the censorship.

But it is the explanation of these enormous profits in almost all lines. Moreover it explains how it is that during these times of great pros perity" and full blown patriotism, the workers are ,.ui'e ,inpat; ioIica1ly demanding higher pay and striking when refused The horror of MT. Rumble when the unfortunate Oliver Twist asked for more is nothing as compared to the openly expressed indignation of these privileged pa- triots and their prostitute press at the workers striking these times. But there is something akin in the tirades of the journalistic Bumbles denouncing the strikes and the I. w. W. and the gasping Beadle whose toadyism received such sev- ere shock.
 Excess profits will possibly be taxed, but the profits will still be great. No one will suggest conscrip- tion of profits.
