Pershing's Daring. (Hartford Post)

It is very interesting, and a bit thrilling, to read in the dispatches rom the seat of war that General Pershing went into the front line trenches with a French commander, insisted even on going into captured German trenches, and that his bravery ln 20 doing and his apparent indiffer- ence to shell fire increased the ad- m1rat1on in which the French already hold him.
 1t is, perhaps. desirable that the French and the American troops in France should have certain knowl- edge that they are led by a general who is willing to go wherever they are sent and who is not lacking in cour- age. A demonstration of that oual- tty may have the effect of increasing the esprit de corps of the men who fight under Pershing and it may in- crease the vigor and effectiveness with which Americans will fight.
 Americans in general, however, had no doubt of Pershing's personal bray cry and they will hope that he will not find it necessary or advisable to give frequent or even occasional dem onstrations of it. Pershing's services as a general are far too valuable to take any unnecessary risk of losing them and the American people are quite willing to take his fearlessness and bravery for granted if he will only refrain from needlessly exposing himself to German fire.

popular correspondence is greatly inn paired when the editor thinks 1t Is his duty, or when it is according to his taste, to let everybody have his say. A considerable part of this correspondence is rubbish. written in ignorance. or spite, or in garrulous love of talk. The privilege Is like that of free speech; one that is cas- fly abused, as an editor shirks his responsibility when he fails to dis criminate between a good letter and a worthless one.
 There is one other feature involved; that is. of an editors responsibility in a community for the temptation is what he prints. The temptation is to print anything that is lively and teresting, however untruthful or un- fair it may be, or how likely it is to do injury to private character and to public interest. To give such let ters space is frequently justified on the plea that everybody is entitled to his say; that it makes the paper interesting, and that if it does harm that is not very great; and that, at any rate, the newspaper is not to blame for what someone else says. The longer an editor lives and works in one place, and the more ties and connections he forms, the deeper re- sponsibility he is apt to feel for the consequence of what he prints.

THEY DID WELL.

l It will be several days before the xact figures which spell the success { the Second Liberty Loan are ob- binable. It is known at this mo- hent, however, that this loan has roken all previous records of sub briptions the world over. There is )o nation on the face of the earth nat ever scored such a financial tri- mph In point of money and in the tmber of subscribers the Second liberty Loan stands in a class by It. bli.
 The government asked the people
 America for minimum loan of 1000, oOo,ooo. The people went the bvernment one better and dropped lore than s5,ooo, 100000 in the na- |onal exchequer. That is more than ,0o0, 100000 over the amount asked br. and likewise two billion more than ke First Liberty Loan. Somewhere etween i0,0o0,0O0 and 12,000,000 lbscribers took part in the campaign.

an eye-opener to them and to their adherents in this country who have set up cries of Wolf The persistent coterie that has spread broadcast the fictitious sentiment that the American people are not united in this war should now see the handwriting on the wall.
 If the American people were asked to vote on the war question, and de- eide just now whether or not this war should continu, they could not voice @ more unanimous approval than by their actions in subscribing to the Second Liberty Loan. In the first instance they would merely cast a vote, a piece of paper that costs were asked to so a step further. They were asked for their money And when mans pocketbool1 is hit he thinks twice before leapirig. Yet the dollars and the tens and twenties and the tifties were forthcoming. There was no hesitation. The men and women of this nation saw to it that the Second Liberty Loan should go lover the top,"-and it did.
 There ir the answer for Berlin and all the sympathizers of the Kaiser. It is written high in the terms of dollars and cents. It means that the American people who have pledged their treasure stand behind the Amer ican government in this fight until the war is over. It means that the war can have but one outcome,- Victory. A complete defeat of Au- tocracy that the world may be safe for Democracy is the plan of this peo- pie. Any other terms will not be ac- cepted. There need be no further doubt about that, the which will be very unpleasant food for thought among certain disloyalists. They did well who called them Liberty Bonds.

had been an unnecessary imitation of
 prices. As a result of this letter, the distributors met to resent the sugges- tion of inflated prices, and they were able to show that nothing of the kind
 had taken place. They then decided to apply to the government and the Army Contracts department. who had taken entire control of suitable leather, to represent that the boots and shoes they had in stock were not suitable for autumn and winter wear and to urge that leather should be re- leased for the manufacture of servic- able boots for mbunition workers teachers and school children stantly out in all weathers. The Army Contracts department was anx- ious to meet the situation, and the standard boot was decided upon. A standard boot simply means a. boot for which specification of the material to be used and the form in are agreed upon. It must be of solid re greed upon. It must be of solid leather and not of fabric. The dis tributors are entirely in sympathy with the public on the matter The government do not propose to inter fere with the distribution, which will take the ordinary course of the trade. The manufacturers are arranging to devote one-third of Jheir output to standard boots. From the samples I nave seen of the highest grade of mems I should not mind wearing them myself"

STANDARD BOOTS.
No High Heels For Women in London.
 Fashion May Become Universal.

(London Times.)
 In two or three weeks time the
 public may expect to find standard boots exposed in the shop windows.
 If one may take the trade opinion as correct, these are likely to prove by no means objectionable in appear ance, and in wear far more practical than the footwear hitherto availa ble for civilians. The output is likely to
 be anything from a quarter of a. mill lion to 350,O00 pairs per week. They will be in all the usual sizes (though lit is not certain if half sizes will be provided) and fittings. There will also be a certain variety in the lasts on which they are made, but there will be no high heels for women, nothing more than an inch or an inch and a half in height at the outside It will probably not be possible to raise the heels for those who may want them higher, as the pitch of a last is made to carry the heel designed for it. It Is not probable that the standard boot will kill the high heel, but 1t is probable that those who adhere to it In boots of the summer variety, with fabric tops, will have the worst of it during the winter. The price of standard boots is not yet finally set tied. It will be marked on the soles of the boots, and not retailer will vary the marking. It is not likely that women's boots will cost more than 17s. or 1Ss. Mems will probably be more and children's less.
 MT. Craig, general secretary of the Boot and Shoe Manufacturers as- sociation and Leather Trades Pro- lection society Gncorporated), in formed a representative of the Times that the distributors were responsible for the suggestion of which the gov ernment scheme is the outcome. "A letter was published" he said, '1n the daily papers from MT. Owen Parker, president of the federated association of Boot and Shoe Manufacturers, and Mr. T. F. Richards, general president of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives calling attention to the fears of shortage of boots, and leading up to a suggestion that there

 (Waterbury American.)
 Most newspapers welcome cor respondence from their readers. Some of it is of very superior quality, from men and women who think, have ideas, with something to say and a. faculty of saying it we'll. Others are simply prolific writers, of common place stuff. Some newspapers give place to all, make 8 regular depart ment of 1t and practice no censorship whatever. Others discriminate and print only what seems worth while. There are objections to both ways. In the first, the correspondence is often liable to degenerate into word fight between bod-tempered people. Tn the other the censor is liable to judge things according to his own opinions and prejudices and to favor that correspondence which supports his own side.
 One subject all editors of experi ence are shy of, that Is religion. The Springfield Union has allowed cor respondents in discussing this sub ject to go on from one thing to an- other, until its patience, and prob ably the patience of its readers, is ex- hausted. It calls a halt. It tells how much it would like to extend its hospitality to those who have used 1t so generously. and wishes it could permit them Ito free their minds of whatever may be troubling them" but it pays them to give religion a rest and take up something else that may prove more productive of results'' We read, with some care, as an editorial duty, the correspondence in some of our exchanges which give space to everybody who writes. on whatever subject, and in whatever way.

STRUGGLING ITALY.

Such situation as that now exist ing in Italy is cause for serious re- fection on the part of those who have believed that the end of the war
 is in sight The utter defeat of the second army, admitted by Italian
 headquarters bodes nothing but i'll for Italy unless General Cadorna is able to stem the advancing tide of Austro- Germans. They have gained i a substantial victory. They have crossed the Isonzo and are now firmly ensoonced on Italian territory. The Italians have surrendered by the wholesale into the hands of the threatening hordes. Because of this action on the part of these troops it is feared the entire left wing of the Italian defenses may be encircled, crushed, and the last barrier knocked down. There remains a retrieve nent by the main Italian army. If that does not come woe thenato Italy.
 Military experts have given as their opinion that Gen. Cadorna will be able to hold the mountain passes and prevent the half million storming Huns from gaining a secure foot-hold in Italian territory, This would not be the first time the Italian army beat back the oncoming foe. AS a whole the Italian army cannot be judged by the actions of the second army. The men who deserted may have been led on to such inglorious steps by the knavery and trickery of the Germa warriors who advanced bearing ban ners on which were written the words, Pax" The strategy of the German leaders was also supreme. Making a feint at one portion of a battle-line extending over gtwenty-eight miles of Italian forces to that defense and then struck at weaker spot. For this the German leaders deserve all the credit due them.
 There are plenty of men at the command of the Italian officers. They are well-trained fighting men and may be expected to give a good &C., count of themselves under favorable conditions. The leaders, too, are of high caliber. This added to the fact that the very nation itself is in danger may put new life into the fighting and end in repulse for the Austro- Ger mans The situation. in all, is not too pleasant to contemplate; but while it has its backs it also has it's ad- vantages 4n that it will awaken a new feeling among the people of all the nations at war with Germany. It will show them that the Germans are not defeated by any means; that they are not beaten yet; that it may take two years more of rigid fighting to crush down the powerful military machine that has been in the building for the
 past forty years. These things all
 considered, struggling Italy may be the flicker that will eventually cause the flame to burst forth in all it's glory.
