LA TOILETTE.

Senator La Toilette has offered
resolution in the senate demanding
that the government state the OBJ
jects for which it is carrying on the
war. If the senator do not know what
we are fighting for he probably is the
only man in the United States remain
ing in ignorance. The objects of the
war have been stated plainly by Pres
ident Wilson. No doubt La Follette's
friend, William Hohenzollern, is fully
informed on the matter and could en-
tighten him.
Why should not the senator from
Wisconsin define his object in fighting
the government of the United States :?
That is question on which the peo-
pie may really lack information.
What difference can it make to him
what we are fighting for? He is do
ing nothing to help and is not likely
to give any assistance. His demand
that the allies restate their aims is
too absurd to be taken seriously
The United States and the allies
will demand such terms of peace as
may be deemed necessary in order to
render impossible that German lust of
conquest shall again precipitate a
world war and that democratic gov
eminent may continue to exist. This
new effort to clog the machinery is
not likely to meet with any noticeable
success

Japan is making a fuss because the
United States government refuses to
Permit further shipment of iron and
steel to that country, pending the con-
clusion of the war. The Nipponese
had drawn up an extensive ship build
ing program and We're turning out
tonnage at a rapid rate in preparation
for grabbing the ocean carrying trade
of the world while other maritime ma
tons are busy with the war. Her
activities along this line have been
halted by the cutting off of her iron
and steel supply by the United
States. We need the products of our
mines. furnaces and mills for our
selves and our fighting allies. II
Japan wants a share in the supply
she would better get into the fight.
A simple declaration of war does not
put her on a eplane above that occu-
pied by neutrals. She must show her
faith by her works. Making hay
while the sun shines is all right but
it cannot be continued indefinitely

TRAVELETTE

By NIksAH

New York's subway is the most
characteristic institution in New York.
1t is democratic, Cosmopolitan, popu-
lar priced and fast. There are other
ways of moving from point to point
in New York, but your truest New
Yorker scorns them all.
A few elderly gentlemen stick to the
surface-cars, because the subway is a
child of the twentieth century. One
such man, who has been in business
at Second street for forty years, rides
down in a surface car from 125th
half. He has never been in the
subway in his life. But this is the last
generation, belonging to a New York
that is no more.
Numbers of people in New York
ride in automobiles. At times, you
are constrained to think thai every
body in town has a car. AS a matter
of fact, the motor caste is only a frac-
tional minority, merely an ornamental
adjunct to the body social of the me-
tropolis. Fifteen minutes Of the sub
way rush hour carries more people
past you than all the motors on Fifth
avenue.
A well-defined caste of rebels
against the thrall of the subway are
the patrons of the Fifth avenue buses.
These top-heavy green craft breathe
a certain atmosphere of luxury, for
-
top knows you have paid dime for
the privilege. The buses also let you
look into the worlds most fascinat-
ing shop windows and breathe the
evening air. These details mean moth
ing to the true New Yorker. He
wishes neither to see or breathe so
long as he moves fast enough; and
the subway will hurl him from 33d
street to Brooklyn Bridge while the
bus is rocking along huff dozen
crowded blocks.
So you find your real New Yorker
in the subway, three or four of him
damned into a space designed to hold
one. He hangs from a white celluloid
strap with an expression. o. infinite
boredom, reading his neighbours even
ing paper backwards and upside
down. Long years of subway travel
have made him expert a printer in
this difficult art. Withal he is not
proud. He is cloaked in a great in
difference. Only when his roaring ex-
press train crawls foot by foot past a
roaring local on the next track, an ex-
preston of subtle beatitude creeps
over his weary features. He is happy.
HIS is making speed.

1t appears that the Topeka Indus
trial council has discovered that retail
grocers are not the robbers they were
thought to be. An investigation seems
hardly to have been necessary. There
probably are more business failures

AN APPEAL FOR HELP.

The secretary of the State Editorial
association of Portland, Ore, vouches
for the information. that Oregon's eff
fort to do her part in the building of
steel and wooden ships for the war is
seriously crippled thru lack of labor
Latest authentic information gath
erred points to the necessity of employ
ing at once nearly 1900 men in the
shipbuilding business at Portland, and
the yards outside.
with contracts already let and cer-
tain to be placed in the near future
it is stated by the shipbuilders that
from 10000 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close of this year, or
/ early next year. The work is on hand
10 give this employment and the de-
mand for ships is growing greater
every day.
The development of an industry of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all of the
available men within immediate
reach, and already the shipbuilders of
the state are urging laborers from all
parts of the west to take positions in
their plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
! men of the east for all seaboard states
to concentrate their supreme energies
upon the program of building ships.
This is declared to be the greatest
duty confronting the nation today and
on every hand it is admitted frankly,
/ despite the optimistic statements
made of the position. of the allied
forces, that unless ships are built by
America at a pace absolutely beyond
the present program the effectiveness
of the United States In the European
/ war will be largely reduced. Germany
is counting implicitly upon destroying
more ships than are built to prevent
America from participating extern
sively in the war. The subma rine
program is making more rapid prog
ress than the shipbuilding program.
For these reasons the federal govern
ment is putting the building of ships
as the primary patriotic duty of the
people of the country. and urging
every person who can aid in the work
to take it up with as much reverence
and as much sense of duty as if they
were enlisting in the army.
Americas food. munitions, arms
and men cannot reach Europe without
an adequate supply of ships Best
authorities declare these should be
