WILL GERMANY'S ALLIES DESERT HER?

Austria Hungary appears to be unwilling to take part III
the destruction of Russia. Her people are sick OF war ana see
nothing to gain by further fighting. We shall now see whe'h-
pr her government or the German empire rules at VIENNA
Germany forced the Dual empire into the struggle by oe-
claring war on Russia and refusing Sir Edward Greys plea vi
an international conference to settle the Serbian question:.
When italy threatened trouble the German government again
tried to sacrifice Austria Hungary by forcing her to o1fer 10
cede important territory to Italy as a bride for remaining neu-
tral. 1t was Austria that was to pay for this, ana ltalys e
fusal to accept the offer does not alter the sacrifice Germany
was ready to force her ally to make. If Germany WINS the war
the Dual empire will remain her vassal along with Bulgaria
and Turkey, and the Austro-Hungarians now see the hght.
Austria Hungary will be surrounded by states under German
control on every side except Italy and Switzerland and Will
gain nothing if Germany takes half of European Russia.
If Austria Hungary should refuse to continue the war Bull
garia and Turkey would follow her because they could not risk
severance of their communications with Germany. In that
event Germany would try to hold what she has won in Russia
by bargaining with her other foes. She could concentrate
more men on the western front, but so could the entente allies.
If Austria Hungary refuses to go on she will come to terms
from Greece and probably from Palestine, and Italy could also
add to the numbers in France. This would nulify Germany5
concentration on the west and cause her to make attractive Of
fers at the expense of Russia. We shall soon see whether
Germany's allies dare to break with her and make peace on
their own account. The diplomatic situation is at present more
important than the operations Of troops in the field. Elk
change.

OUR FUTURE IN COMMERCE

Every little while certain newspapers that have tempered
their prO-Germanism but stick to their old Anglophobia, warn
JUS of dangers to our trade interests and even to our liberty from
the extension and consolidation of the British empire at the end
of this war. 1t is true that England and her most progressive
overseas dominiOns are looking ahead, and we should do like
wise, but we have nothing to fear except our own supineness.
We sell far more to Canada than England does, and we could
do equally well in other British possessions if we went after
their business. We have our chance in the Americas and
China, and we are building merchant vessels that will carry
our trade if we reform our navigation laws.
Prosperity in all the lands where English is spoken will
help us. We have always profited by the increased wealth of
our customers and this rule will hold good in the future as it
has in the past. W. shall not lose our dominance in the cot
ton trade as long as we can produce and sell raw cotton at a
fair price. England has tried to stimulate the production of
cotton in her possessions, but has never been able to secure
enough in that way to affect our sales to her mills, and she is
unlikely to do so in the future, though thrty-cent cotton is a
pow erful incentive.-New York Commercial.

USELESS TO TEMPORIZE

Talking has done no good since President Wilson closed
the debate with the Huns by defining the American position.
AT that time he was in close accord with the British premier.
He left nothing unsaid that was worth saying before Germany
should state her terms of peace. The German chancellor has
split hairs with Mr.. Wilson, but has not changed the situation
by so doing. The German government has out-talked it's op-
ponent and has out-maneuvered the Bolsheviki in the game of
making a paper peace when there is no peace. Behind the
kaiser stand the German people flushed with victory over Rus
STA and hopeful of food from the Ukraine. Somewhere, some
how, the military outlook, as the Germans see it, must be
changed. 1t is idle to talk of peace, unless we are willing to
accept a German peace, before the German people realize that
they cannot win. The parade of the German Uhlans ON the
road to Petrograd is strengthening the Germans confidence in
themselves as supermen divinely appointed to rule the world
under the direction of a kaiser who occupies a throne by divine
right. Talk will not change that. Nothing but blows will
count now.-Exchange.

A TREASURY ESTIMATE NOT A BUDGET

Americans pay little attention 10 natlOna finances. oHe
prominent speakers and writer's have said that the president
should present to the house of representatives "a definite and
well analysed estimate of proposed expenditures which the
administration wishes to support and make it's own" The
man who put the case in these words holds a high position and
should be well informed; yet he neither knows what is now
done or what a budget should be.
Congress is surfeited with estimates. If it treated the an
nual report of the secretary of the treasury as a budget, that
carefully prepared document would serve the purpose very
well. If congress wishes to use it as a budget it should be
submitted to a single committee. The committee on apprOpria-
:ions is well fitted for the task. Accepting this report as a
budget, congress might cut down appropriations, but could
neither add to the appropriations recommended nor reduce the
taxes asked for by the government This would debar the in
PRODUCTION of private pension bills and special appropriations
of The pork barrel" order. We can have a budget system if
congress chooses to abolish the lOng-standing abuses connected
with appropriation bills.
This annual report of the secretary of the treasury does
not function as a budget because it is torn to pieces at the start
and referred to about ten separate standing committees in
shape. This annual report is compiled in accordance with a
long series Of acts of congress, the first of which was passed
in September, 1850. 1t is as explicit as the budget of the Brit
ish government, but it is not a budget because congress does
not treat it as such.
1t is not necessary that congress should adopt this or any
other executive report as a budget. The committee on appro-
priations, or some real budget committee, could prepare its
own budget after receiving this and other department reports
and the recommendations of other committees. The main
thing is to prevent the addition of special appropriations after
the budget is prepared and submitted to the house of represen-
tatives. The great weakness of our system is the way in
which special appropriation bills are introduced and passed in
the closing days of a session without due consideration or pub
licity. Congressional courtesy" covers inroads on the federal
treasury which astound foreign legislators and political
economists.
Congress would surrender none of its authority and priv
leges by adopting a budget system. A scientific budget re-
sembles the statement which a big merchant or manufacturer
put our national finances on a business basis and check no.
torious abuses and waste of money-New York Commercial.

Germanys plan of dividing Russia into small states to re-
move all danger of attack hereafter from the east might be ap-
piled to herself. One of the possible results of this war is the
splitting up of Germany and Austria-Hungary into their con-
stituent elements along racial lines. Germany is showing the
world how to do it by treating Russia in that way-Exchange.

Things Religious.

At the Methodist church Sunday
morning there was very enthusiastic
bunch at the Sunday School and the re-
ports showed an increase in attendance
over the previous Sunday. The Ep-
worth League was largely attended,
there being several visitors present
At the union services held at the
Presbyterian church there was large
congregation and the singing was en-
cellent and greatly inspiring. The next
union service will be held at the Meth
odist church next Sunday night and Rev.
w. A. Role will preach the sermon. 1t
is hoped that a full house will greet
the pastor next Sunday night.
We urge everyone who may read this
notice to act as q committee to invite
their friends and neighbors to this
union service.
We urge all singers both young and
old to be present and take their place
in the choir. Our young people ought
to attend both the morning and night
services better than they have been
doing The church is the best place on
earth for every one and we cannot
grow spiritually and neglect our duties
a. to church attendance. To forsake
the assembling of ourselves together or
to become slackers in the kingdom of
God is to seal our own destiny and be
classed with the foolish virgins against
whom the door into the wedding feast
was shut, never to be opened again.
Come thou with US and we will do thee
good and thou shalt be unto US instead
of eyes.

No Cause for Hysteria.

every one will get enough of these two
