ANOTHER BIG SMASH

"HE Franco-American drive in
the Aisne valley, while not so
spectacular as the attack on St.
Mihiel, may have equally important
results. Indeed. with it's threat to
outfiank the ore district of Briey and
the Notifications of Metz. it is a di-
rect result of the st. Mihiel victory
and is a much better way of ad-
vancing than along the now more or
less well-defended st. Mihiel front.
A continuance of the plunge may
bring a general retirement of the
Germans all the way from Belgium
to the borders of Switzerland. Laon,
st. Quentins the Briey iron fields and
Metz itself may go down before con-
tinued progress of the Franco-Amer-
lean forces. The whole world will
watch with deepest interest this
latest development of General Foch's
great offensive. 1t is the most i'm
portant since the Germans were
thrown back at the Marne.

A SHORTER SALES DAY

Hr ERCHANTS generally are ac-
M cepting as gracefully as they

IIickok that they open their stores
at 9 o'clock and close them at $50.
during the cold months. For many
this change Of hours means nothing
more than little more concentra-
tion of sales during a shorter period.
With others readjustments must be
worked out to meet individual or
group conditions and a few dealers
may for a time suffer serious incon-
venience. no doubt, which under nor
NAL conditions they would not have
been asked to undergo.
But we are living in period when
thought of self must be submerged
in consideration of the greatest good
for the greatest number. Unques-
tionably much fuel will be saved by
the new regulations, and every pound
of coal that can hk saved is SO much
bins of private consumers. So pa
triotic merchants are signing the
shorter hours agreement and rear
ranging their business accordingly.
In a few weeks we shall have
grcwn used tc the o'clock opening
and $50 o'clock closing and the
change will be a matter to which
we shall give no more thought. Time
was when business people believed
it necessary to open their shops al
in the morning and to keep them
open until 10 at night. Strange to
say, there were clerks in those times
who endured these slavish fifteen
hour working days and stuck to their
job. Now we know that such hours
are unnecessary; indeed, that they
are bad for business as we'll as fol
working forces. We are selling more
goods in less time than ever we die
under the long hours system, and the
working day can be made ever
shorter without reducing the bust
ness of the average merchant.

five against which any objection
could be lodged. Nevertheless Creel
now asserts that in June he discov-
cred the suspicious fact that the
book, ostensibly a war 'catechism'
for the instruction of Americans,
gives no hint anywhere of the fun
damental truth that Germany was
responsible for the war; Examina-
ton shows that the blame is i'm
partially distributed by the writer of
the book among Germany, Britain
France, Russia, Servia and Italy.
MANY other extracts have been
cited to support the charge OF subtle
pro- German advocacy! For example,
German rule in Alsace-Lorraine is
defended, the political laws being
termed reasonable and liberal
There are intimations that poison
gas, Germany's own weapon, was
first used in this war by the French
in their turpenite shells. and that a
similar device was employed by the
British against the Beers. SerVla Is
represented as more guilty than Aus
tria- Hungary in respect to starting
the war. The Lusitania massacre Is
dismissed with two assertions-nrst'
that Germany warned Americans not
70 sail on the ship: and, second, that
she offered to pay indemnities Tor
the citizens of this country VINO
were slain. There is not word to
suggest that the sinking was an act
of criminal and murderous lawless-
ness"
The North American does not ac-
cuse Creel of disloyalty, but 1t sub
mits that a young man who dashes
off Endorsements" for patriotic
booklets, giving them the sanction
of government approval when, in
reality. they are merely so much
enemy propaganda, is no fit man for
the important place he holds. with
this opinion those who have observed
Creel and his obnoxious attempts to
reflect credit upon the national ad-
ministration at the expense OF truth
will agree.

called. So will his misstatements
regarding the progress of our aero
nlane program. And only recently
General March felt called upon to
deny a typical "Creelism" which the
every-ready typewriter of the pub
rcity man enclosed in quotation
marks and ascribed to the aforemen-
toned chief of staff. without the
formality of verifying the inter
view" General March wouldn't
stand for Creel and his taking, and
the President should not. The Amer

but the truth" and it will go hard
with any man or men who withhold
the truth, or color it, or garble it,
or juggle it, once the people whose
war this is are thoroughly convinced
that they are being deceived. If Creel
must be kept on the payroll why not
give us the truth about him? Why
not call him the chairman of public
misinformation?

PENNSYLVANIA IN WAR
tFrom the philadelphia Bulletinl

IFrom the Philadelphia Bulletinl
On Saturday Raymond Robbins,
of this state, made a speech in the
House of Representatives denounc-
ing the Administration for spending
so much money on environments. ETC.,
in the South and so little in the
North, where nearly all the taxes
are paid. 1t was speech made for
political effect, and has been so re-
ceived by Democratic members who
are said to be preparing answers.
AS to the partisan matter there is
no need for discussion here, but Mi.
Robbins did give some figures about
this state in the war which are worth
lifting out of the Congressional
Record morgue and being given the
light of publicity.
The man-power of Pennsylvania
in the war is given as follows:
Keystone Division Given
ty-eighth) .... E. -. 27,5OO
Machine Gun Battalion
(Rainbow) .......... 700
Regular Army ......... SO,OO0
Navy and Marines ...... 10000
Drafted men .19S,245
Total ........... .5Zl,fSo
So far as the regular army, navy
and marines are concerned, the fig
ures seem modest and perhaps there
are some units from this state which
may not be accounted for. In any
event the number is probably below
the truth.
This year Pennsylvania paid just
a trifie less than S500,000,000 in
Federal taxes and the sum will be
much larger when adjustments now
in progress are completed. Mr..
Robbins complains that this state got
less than nine millions for encamp-
ments. He offers two tables, show
ing distribution of encampment
costs:
Fifteen Southern
States received
over S4SU,UUU,UUU
Fourteen Northern
States received. 200,000,000
The fifteen South
ern States paid in
taxes ........ 1000, 900,
The fourteen
Northern -. .$2,1oo,o 600, 900
Certainly Pennsylvania can claim
that in man-power and in taxes It
has done its share and its glory
is that so far it has suffered far
more casualties than any other
state, both actually and relatively
to enlistments. Pennsylvania is
making no bargains over Its patriot-
ism. It Is doing its full duty. II all
do e. we'll there will be no complaint.
