The Subconscious Commuter

Our estimable Public Service Commits
sion has at last found problem fitted
to its talents. 1t is investigating, on the
word of its chairman, the individual
and collective consciousness" of the Jer-
sey commuter, with some passing atten-
ton to the genesis, powers and func-
tions" of his mind.
The point is, apparently, that the Jer-
sey commuter can be made to go home
early or late, as the influenza rules re-
quire; but he refuses to come to town in
the morning at any but his accustomed
hour. He often reaches Manhattan long
before it is time to go to work and loafs
about until the old shop opens for bust
ness. So overcrowding on the Hudson
tubes in the morning is just as bad as
ever, and the influenza germs thrive in
consequence.
We don't like to interfere with this
pleasant all-winter Job that the P. S. C.
has set its mighty minds against. The
commuter's mind deserves all the re-
search it is ever likely to get And, what
is an additional point worth considering,
when the P. S. c. is busy in Jersey it
cannot do any harm here
But the truth is the truth. There is
no such thing as a commuters conscious
ness. He is, in his committing capacity,
a sheer automaton. Let Health Commits
sioners and Public Service Commits
sioners and influenza germs rage as thew
uiJ1 hx b,,
ever. The business of rolling back the
bed-clothes as the last tinkle of the
alarm clock dies away, of shaving, of
reading the headlines over his cup of
coffee, of kissing wife (on the cheek
and baby ION the CROWN. of asking if
there are any errands (Which he will, of
course, at once forget). of going down
the front steps exactly as his minute
hand crosses 7:36--it is all as inescapa-
bic and established as the behavior Of
those marvellous spiders that Henri
Fabre wrote of with such enthusiasm.
We recall one spider that stung it's
prey in seven precise spots, the whole
most delicately devised to paralyze vet
not slay, whereby the victim would keep
fresh for daily eating. A most marvel
lously clever instinct. Yet if by any
chance there was an exceptional state of
affairs the spider had no ability what
ever to readjust himself. He could sting
only in the one way he knew. So with
the commuter. He knows only one way
to come TO town. The process has gone
far beyond mere habit. 1t has become a
final instinct, quite beyond his power to
control. By it the commuter must live
or die

gramme, and It is programme, should
be fully appreciated by the American
people. When he has completed his task
OF devastation the German expects to
make peace. He expects to be able to
explain that such ruin as has come to
France and Belgium is the natural, if
regrettable, consequence of war. He will
weep over this ruin, as the Kaiser wep-
for Louvain, for Rheims and for much
else, but he means to keep up his cam
paign Of arson to the very last moment
More than all this, the very best incen-
tive to the German industry in destruc
ton at the present hour is the ever in
slstent declaration in many quarters
that there must be no reprisal at the end
OF the war; no punishment which will
hurt German feelings and therefore
lessen the chance for an enduring LEAGUE
of nations to function. From the very
outset OF the struggle the German has
capitalized the humanity and the civil
lied instincts of his foes; he is making
full use of these sentiments now.
The simple truth is that the German
thinks he can lay waste Northern
france and Belgium and get away with
1T unscathed, even rewarded in his own
pocket, because he relies upon the ideal
Ism Of his foes, and particularly of
PRESIDENT Wilson, to protect him from
all the consequences Of his crimes and
enable him to make his calculated profit
out OF the elimination of the industrial
competition of the nations which he has
attacked.
There is not the smallest element of
accident IN what is now taking place in
Northern France and in Belgium. Cities
and towns are not being DESTROYED as ~
result Of battle. They are being svs-
tematlcally reduced to ashes in accord
ance with long prepared plan. German
retreat is being timed TO coincide with
the finishing touches of the torchbearer
and the minelayer.

VA 7E SHOULD be a very naive
wv people, indeed, quite as stupid
as Won Papen declared, if we
did not understand exactly what the
German campaign of fire aud explosion
in Northern France means. The Ger
man is getting ready to make peace and
this is his idea Of the fashion in whcn
to prepare for the end of hostiities
In German logic the situation is this:
At no distant time hostilities will be over
and then the business of manufacture
and trade will begin again When this
business begins the German will once
more have to compete with the res. of
the world Among his competitors are
the manufacturers of Northern France
and of Belgium. This being the case
it is his duty, while the power remains
In his hands, to abolish all chance Of
future competition.
Against such an evcntuality he began
his preparations long ago. In the winter
of 19l4-15 he removed all the machinery
from the great manufacturing centres of
Lille, RoubaiS and Tourcoing and trans
ported it back to Germany He has con-
tinued this systematic spoliation of the
industrial establishments of France and
Belgium ever since. Now he is going
one step further and destroying the
buildings in which the machinery was
originally installed and the cities in
which the industries were conducted.
The region through winch the German
is now retreating is one of the great
industrial districts of Europe Lille,
Tourcoing and Roubaix, practically con-
stltuting single city of over 400, 900
inhabitants, are the great industrial
towns OF France. Cambrai, Douai ana
score of smaller places now in the war
news are similarly busy centres of
French manufacture. Lens, whose COM
plete ruin has been reported, is the chief
coal mining town of France Scattered
about 1T are the smaller villages which.
with Lens, supply almost all Of the coal
essential to French industry. Between
these various cities and towns run MANY
canals, useful in the transportation of
material.
NOW the factories, the mines, the
canals, are all being systematically de-
stroyed, together with the cities in the
district. Everything of the smallest
value which could be moved has been
moved back to Germany; what could not
be moved is being ruined or DESTROYED
by fire and dynamite
1t is the Germans calculation that
when he has completed this work of sys~
tematic and deliberate destruction in
dustrial France and industrial Belgium
will be wiped off the map and that it
will be matter Of years before either
can be restored In these years German
manufactures will profit by the absence
of French and Belgian competition. and
IN this way the burden of the war will
be transferred from German to French
and Belgian backs.
