U-Boats and Flanders Fighting.

In the course of Chancellor Michaelis'
speech to the reichstag committee it is
reported that he declared that the mill
tary situation on all fronts was excep-
tionally suspicious, and read a message
from great headquarters in which the
Uboat campaign was given liberal
credit for its effect in successfully ward
ing off the allied offensive in Flanders.
This is the first intimation that the
U-boats have had anything to do with
the military operations on the CONT
nent. The suggestion is that the sub
marines became especially active in the
channel and prevented transports or mu-
nitions ships from crossing. The trans
port idea, however, is hardly tenable,
as the offensive movements do not &C.
pend upon fresh troops from England.
All troops are kept in camps behind the
lines for several weeks before being put
into action. There remains, therefore,
only the suggestion that munitions ships
wsre sunk or kept in port BY submarine

Cuba's Gift to America.

Cuba's gift of 10000 tons of former
German shipping to the United States
= striking bit of International gener-
osity. These four vessels, seized by
Cuba on the day of the American deela-
ration of war against Germany, could
have been sold in the market at high
figures. The United States could not
commander them, as it can all ships in
American waters But Cuba preferred
to present them free of cost to the
United States. As President Menocal
mid In tho decree Of transfer, these yes
ssls ware prizes Of war, ito be used for
the common benefit in aiding to bring
the war against the government of Ger
many to a prompt and victorious end
Cuba Is . party to the war against Ger
many, but this fact does not lessen the
generosity Of the gift Of these ships,
which stands as a gracious act for which
the American people must be grateful,
and which must be remembered in the
future as an evidence of the cordial
sympathy prevailing between Cuba and
the United States.

An Unofficial Official Flag.

II flag propriety is observed anywhere
it should be by the United States itself,
and surely flags that are not official or
up-to-date should not be displayed on
public buildings here ut the capital Yet
the Post Office Department is hanging
forth in conspicuous position, par
ticular'y in honor of the Japanese mis-
sion's visit to Washington, flag that
dates back to the time when there were

cording to this flag, with its forty-six

force its position In Central and South
America, in the Pacific and the far east.
That is why Washington does not wish
to do anything about the Pope's peace
appeal"
Passing the strange logic Of the first
sentence, which assumes that the United
States had to 60 to war itself and spend
its own money and lives in order to
maintain q war munitions trade and to
insure purchases here after the war,
there is real information for the Ameri-
can people in the suggestion that the
real reason the United States went into
this war was to create large army for
uses elsewhere in possible-or impossi-
ble-troubles to come on this continent
or in the Pacific. In other words, ac-
cording to the Cologne Gazette-which
should surely have been much better in
formed by the special correspondent
who has just been requested to leave
Washington-there Is no real issue be-
tween the United States and Germany.
All the resentment over the sinking of
American ships and the destruction Of
American lives by submarines and other
attractions of international law by Ger
many was assumed, a pretense for q
purely commercial and political decla-
ration of war, sort of insurance for
the future security of the United States
from enemies N other quarters.
Whether there is any connection be-
tween the complete failure Of even the
Cologne Gazette, usually so well in
formed on American matters, to under
stand the motives for this governments
entry into the war and the deportation
of its correspondent from this capital
is not disclosed. IF this were the case
it would be not the first instance of in
ability on the part of this representa-
tive of German public opinion to gauge
correctly the sentiments and motives Of
the American people and government.

Platform Speaking.

Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends-Mr.
Bryan himself, indeed, joining mare
making merry in respectful way over
the appearance of Mr.. Taft on the chau-
tauqua platform. Why, they say, he has
exposed himself to the aspersions of
those who insist that the step is IN
digniied: that he may expect to be
yoked with jugglers and yodlers and
other entertainers of like grade in pub
lie comment, as Mr.. Bryan has been.
There is difference. Mr.. Taft is not
in Office. His time is at his own dis
posal. he may employ himself as he
sees fit and his talents justify. Lectur-
ing to law students or to chautauqua
audiences is within his right if invita-
tons reach him and the terms are ac-
ceptable. As he has no fortune, the
terms are a consideration.
The chautauqua platform is an excel
lent place from which to reach the peo-
pie. Great crowds gather to hear a man
with message worth while. And many
men with such messages are delivering
them. The popular taste is catholic
There is attention for a variety of

With the pulpits filed, Congress in

doubtecly, those requirements would

that after declaring war Congress would

about providing the means for its vigor-

But such knowledge was not in the

result the money problem has been much

And, to add to the difficulty, there is
. wide difference of opinion about how
much of the cost Of the war should be
borne by the present generation and
how much by posterity-how much of
the money should be raised by taxation
and how much by the sale Of bonds.
Two points are clear. The whole sum
could not be raised by taxation with

activity. Naturally the British govern
ment would not throw any Light ON tins
question in the course Of the weekly
admiralty reports on submarine activi-
ties. Up to this time the comparative fail
ure of the British offensive in Flanders

began to fail on the second day Of the
infantry attack after tremendous artil-
lery preparation. In that low country

German View of American Motives

A dispatch to The Star from Amster-
dam quotes the Cologne Gazette as the
hrst German paper to take seriously the
American war preparations, which it saws
are advancing steadily to the point of
real military efficiency. But the Gazette.
of course, cannot go to the point of ac-
crediting the United States sincere mo
fIves for entering and prosecuting the
war That would not be in accordance
with the general policy of the German
press. which is TO belittle everything
That this government does. From the
point of view of the German newspapers.
which are chiefly inspired by the gov
ernment, there can be no justice in the
American part of the war, because ali
the justice is on the German side
Nevertheless it would seem that the
Cologne Gazette, which has had the ad-
vantage of a special correspondent at
this capital fora long time past-indeed,
until last Monday-should be better in
Hofmed than it appears to be from the
following extract:
"We cannot doubt that the Americans
will fight, not only because the great
financial and industrial powers in that
country do not wish to drop the golden
fruit of war orders, but because they
look forward to the days of peace, when
battered Europe will have to be rebuilt

When war causes a scarcity in the
supply of any article, the civilian is not
expected to compete with the soldier for
its possession and use. The soldier has
the first call. The ordinary trade COM
petition ceases and the price must be
fixed in such way as to insure the
widest possible distribution of what is
available to non-combatants without in
ordinate profits to the manufacturer and
his agents and at the same time with
out destroying the reasonable induce
ments to investment necessary to keep
the supply going. But the soldier must
get his first.
