Credit for this showing is given by the
association to the new state police. Since
the existence Of the troopers is the only
new element in the situation, it seems
pretty clear that the credit belongs where
it has been placed. Enforcement of the
automobile laws is only one phase of the
work of the state police, but this duty
has been done SO we'll that the Secretary
Of State has commended the police for
the way in which they have gone after
speeders, drunken drivers and other law
breakers.
The upstate problem is not so diff
cult in any one place as that presented
to New York City's traffic police but
neither are the state police so numerous
as the men of the force here who attend
to automobile law violations. This splcn-
did showing ought to arouse the emula-
ton of the bluecoats of the metropolis,
where, unfortunately, the automobile &C.
cidents still grow in number each month.

A Dishonor List

All that the food authorities have done
to restaurants that violate the food laws
is deserved and right But is it suffi-
cient? Does it measure out adequate
punishment?
We say not. We think every loyal
American will say not. To close for
week. or pay a 81 900 fine to the Red
Cross is tolerably rigorous punish
ment for any ordinary violation Of an
ordinary law. But this is something
more, something far more There is
according to the food authorities, per-
sistent and continued violation of the
food regulations; and, the important
point, upon these regulations hangs the
fate of the nation,
We are saving food to win the war.
Anybody who wilfully disobeys the food
regulations is working against his coun-
try.
There should be ample investigation
and abundant room for proof and dis
proof. But when q restaurant has been
proved wilful offender it should suffer
punishment far more severe than any
fine or brief closing.
We suggest list of dishonor.
Upon it should be written, as a per-
manent record, the names of all who are
convicted during the war of profteering
and wilful Stacking.
We suggest also that moral indig-
nation be visited upon the offenders by
their patrons.

Cheaper Than Blood
By Theodore M. Knappen

NETROIT, June 10.--"We ought to
build 10000 of them at once" said
Henry Ford, referring to the two
man tanks, as we sat in the private Ford
theatre at Detroit watching one of the
tanks perform through the medium Of a
motion picture ilm
The tank looks like a cross between an
elephant and a mule The Germans are
welcome to any information this connari
son may give them. When it runs it is as
comical as bear. Its antics are convuls-
ing. 1t is little, but strong. It tears up
wire fences as if they were straw. It can
stand on its nose its tail. It can roll
over backward and get up again and ske-
daddle away at fifteen miles an hour r.
can turn SO quickly that it keeps lively
man very active lodging it, It can lean
bitches, climb slippery surface at an
angle Of 70 degrees, butt trees and stone
walls, roll over sidewise and land on its
feet without injury. 1t is so light that
II 1t gets snagged a dozen soldiers can
set it right
lhlnXlng OF the open fighting now going
on IN france with the heavy German ar
tlllery lar IN the rear, 1 couldn't help won
der'ng what chance infantrymen scattered
or IN mass would have with some thousands
OF these mechanical pachyderms CHARGING
down on them, splitting bullets from ma
cnlne guns We might have had lot of
tnem' too, by this time if snap decision
nad been taken last winter Ford could
build $4,000 of them in a year.
YES we ought to have 10000 of them
right now" continued Mr. Ford between
chuckles over the comic antics of the steel
monster This war is war of Industrial
production. The armies at the front on,v
register, the results of activities in the fac
tories. 1t is the kind of war in which
we excel. My idea is to make unlimited
quan'itles OF every kind of machine and
implement OF warfare. We ought not to
put limit on anything. We can build a
Thousand aircraft to the Germans one. and
we ought to do it. So with evervth;no
else. The more we prepare the less wa
shail require. 1t costs money, but it is
cheaper than blood. The Germans know
this is really war Of economic efficiency
When they perceive that they are beaten
in mechanics they will quit tactics The
German people want peace Overwhelm
them with physical preparations for war
and they will take our peace. I'm build

the land with tanks. Double bank tho

tration is thus concealed under the
guise of religious determination. This
insidious propaganda is the hardest of
Of the Turk.
The consolidation Of German influence
in Persia is grave peril to Great Brit
ain, to China and to Japan. 1t will
upset the present equilibrium in Asia.
With German bases on the Black and
Caspian seas and in Northern Persia and
Turkestan, Western Siberia will lie open
to Teuton penetration. So will Eastern
Siberia. So will AfghSnistan and West
ern China. The foundation will soon be
securely laid for German Middle Asia.
This prospect also concerns the
serve an "open door" in Eastern Asia
as far as possible. Our Washington dis
patches say that the Administration has
just sanctioned the visit Of non-ofiicial
American commission to Persia. This
body will investigate the progress made
by the Teuton-Turkish propagandists.
It is hoped that the elements in Per-
sla which want to preserve the cOun-
try's political independence may turn to
the United States as disinterested
friend, whose good will has been demon
strated in the past. But the visit Of an
unofficial commission Of this sort is
meagre offset to the violent efforts now
on foot to swing Persia over to the side
of the Central Powers. Events are NOV
ing rapidly in Western Asia. The full
effects of the Russian debacle are just
being felt there. German intrigue,
backed by military force, is in full
swing. And not only is Persia involved,
but all Of Siberia. We cannot awake
too quickly to this critical situation. It
is one which requires clear and vigorous
counter action on the part of the Allied
powers.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-11

the government are mounting with ex-
traordinary rapidity. Wherefore" ne
says,
there is grave danger Of further ana
more rapid imitation than we have as yet
experienced. 1t can be escaped only by
the adoption of measures which will in
ducc drastic economy in consumption on
the part Of every member of the COM
munity"
Why excessive credit expansion acts
like double-edged sword, increasing the
cost of living and at the same time
seriously hindering adequate war pro-
duction, is set forth in these lucid terms:
Imitation enhances the money cost OF
the war, and consequently the burden
of taxation after the war, when prices
will presumably fall to lower level. But
there is far moro immediate and vitally
serious consequence of inadequate saving.
The continuance of the civilian demand
for commodities seriously retards mob
ilization of the labor and capital of the
country for war uses. If drastic economy
were universally practised, both labor and
the owners of factories would be far more
eager to transfer their services to war
work."
AS possible alternative to the drastic
taxation that might be necessary ade-
quately to curtail the undue expansion of
credits, Professor Sprague sets forth
suggestion on the lines of the plan in
New Zealand. There income tax payers
arc required to subscribe a certain per-
centage of their income to government
bonds. But more elastic arrangement
might be made, Professor Sprague sug-
gests, by imposing further tax of, say,
10 per cent in addition to whatever reg
ular rates may be established, but allow
ing taxpayers the option Of paying this
additional tax or of buying three or four
times the amount of the tax in govern
ment bonds. He suggests that these lat
ter be called Economy bonds" for they
would be in many respects quite unlike
Liberty bonds. They would be nom
transferable until, say, one year after
the close of the war.
The large problem, however, is how
to reach the great masses Of the people
who are not now touched by the income
tax, and very little by any tax, except
what Professor Sprague cleverly calls
the "sharp tax imposed by infation";
i.e., in the high cost of living. Excellent
suggestions along this line were con-
tanned in the Harvard professors ad-
mirable paper.

kultslr Betrayed

(Fvom The Netr Yorker VoEtssettuso ysstsr dng)
The National German-American Alliance,
which recently died Of spinal tuberculosis
after long sickness, was recently, after It's
death, accorded kick by the semi-ofhcial
Berlin "Lokal-Anzeiger," according to
which the German-Americans never have
achieved the expected furtherance Of kul-
tur In the new fatherland. How unjust
such reproach is, since so manv Of our
dear landsleute attended to arson, bomb.
planting, ship destruction, espionags and
whatever other demands of kultur!
There Is only one explanation" the 10
kal-Anzeiger" continues, namely, that the
majority Of the Gerraan immigrants is ur-
sufficiently trained in this regard. Our
optimism concerning the part which the
German-Americans were to play was bassd
on truly German sentimental and ingenu-
Gus ideas Of foreign policy"
The responsibility for the fact that these
"truly German sentiment and ingenious
ideas" were not consistently upheld by the
members Of the German-American Alliance
must not be placed at the door of Weismann,
Rebhan, viereck, Ridder, Hexsmer, Abeles
or the "Staats-Zeitung" or the little Ger.
man Herold," but at the door Of certain
authorities who have unusually little SYM
pathy with "the furtherance Of kultuf
in compliance with a truly German sent'-
mental and ingenious idea"

The Nelu Offensive

only one of series Of operations which
are preparatory to the final episode.
Therefore it is unwise to be either un-
duly elated or unduly depressed by the
result of any single engagement con-
corning which we can at best know very
little, since the true measure must be
the comparative casualties.
AS for the present attack, we must
recognize that although the advance has
been by comparison much less than in
the three previous attacks, the Germans
are pushing the French off the last nat
ural obstacle on the roads to Paris north
of the Disc River; that the ground which
they have taken is important, and that
it is far too early to dismiss the present
attack as failure. On the other hand,
all evidence points to the exaction by
the Allies Of heavy casualties, and this
is the most hopeful sign of all.
