EFFICIENCY VERSUS FREEDOM

Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, says that socialism in this country is noth- ing but branch of German socialism and that 1t should be cIassed with other Hun propaganda. He warns workingmen not to take up this. poli- tical theory and attempt to imrose a socialistic form of government OF themselves.
 In Germany the government gov erns as much as possible, and the socialists there would extend its func- tions indefinitely In a democracy the government governs as little as possible.
 The people of this country will nev- CT place over themselves a form of government that overshadows them. We are not seeking to mould every man in this nation by hard laws and to set al our institutions in adamant. We are too great respectors of free dom.
 Before this war there was a great deal written about German efficiency. It was pointed out that German cities were the best governed on earth. that German workmen were the most painstaking workers, and German ad- ministrators the best trained.
 What does all this matter?
 Who wants to live in the best and most governed city in the world if he thereby loses his freedom and be- comes less of a man?
 After the war is over there will be much less talk by college professors and others lauding German efficiency. That efficiency is being seen close up, and the more we see of it the more desirous all of us are that we keep away from anything resembling 1t.

GOLD STARS FOR THE FALLEN
 HEROES.

A mother wrote to a New York newspaper and asked if star should be taken off the service flag when the young man it represents is lost at the front.
 The newspaper answered that no rule or custom has been formulated covering the matter, but that in such a case the star representing the boy who gave his life for his country should not be removed, but should be changed in color from blue to gold.
 A noble conception and fit to be put into general practice.
 Every home in the nation should be proud of its service flags. These flags will be more highly prized after the war than today. They will be the silent recital of the work of that fam fly to win the war.
 There will be on the flag a star for each member of the family who went into the army or navy. These stars will shine for years from the flag over the mantle piece, and the family will talk about them and reverence them and the brave men they stand for
 But the stars that should shine brightest, those that should shed the purest light of hope, those that should most deeply inspire to worthy things and noble sacrifices, should be the golden stars on the service flag that stand for the young men who lost their lives in freedoms cause.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT "eRokE'

Few pictures of free Russia come to this country. Those that do get through depict conditions dark1y and give an idea of the ruin that the Reds have brought to that rich land.
 The Russian minister of finance re. gently told of the distress of the gov ernment through the inability to raise money. The minister has plenty of time to reflect on the situation, as in the last six months but three and a third billion rubles have passed through his hands while the ex- penses of the Russian state, if it can be called state, were 40 billions of rubles
 Russia is in such an uproar that ii it almost impossible to levy taxes fol the national treasury. Local taxing units refuse to collect money for what remains of the central govern Hent.
 Doubtless the Russians figure that they are paying enough for their mis- erable central government when they pay nothing. Anarchy probably looks good to any Russian who can under stand what his government has done for his country since the czar was dethroned.

ten find this such an easy mode of existence that they never turn their hands to honest toll. Tn ordinary times it is difficult to pick out the dishonest. Many men who are tenn porarily out of work are mixed in with those who will not work.
 Now the chances are that every person who is not working for his lNirfg is either too rich to work or is a criminal Whichever is true the whole aggregation of loafers should be rounded up every place. It is a crime in these times for a man to he idle.
 The country cannot afford to har. bor those who toll not nor spin,
 It should be strong presumption in any court that a man is guilty of some crime if he cannot show that he has a job. His least offonse will be that he is loafer, and as such he should be put to work under the su- pervision of the state.
 New Jersey has law against loaf CTS. It is a good law for the present emergency. It should be made so hot for loafers in every section that they will get to work to keep from going to jail and to still harder work,

AIR RAID ON GERMANY
British Bombing Planes Attack
City in Rhenish Prussia.
Twenty-four Bombs Are Dropped on
Railway Station and Factories
at Saarbrueck.

LONDON, May 17.-Saarbruecken,
(Saarbrueck) Rhenish Prussia, has
been bombed by a squadron of Brit
ish bombing planes. Saarbrueck Is
over 200 miles from the British air
bases in Belgium and more than thir-
ty miles inside the Franco-German
border.
Every mile of the way the British
raiders fought running battle with
German battle planes trying desper-
ately to bag" or rout them. AS the
battle line was crossed 10 German
machines took up the pursuit. BY
the time Saarbruecken was reached
there were 25.
The British planes not only got
unframed to their destination, but
having got there calmly carried out
their scheduled work of destruction,
dropping "a big bombs on the rail-
way station and factories.
Their task done, they turned upon
the German machines and sent five
of them crashing earthward. They
returned to their base, minus only
one machine, which was shot down
over Saarbruecken. 1t was the most
effective and most spectacular raid
ing expedition carried out by the
British fliers in this war. In all, 43
German planes were shot down dur
ing the day.

HUGHES WILL ASSIST
New Yorker Agrees to Take Part

President Asks Former Supreme
Court Justice to Aid the A.
torney General.

Washington, May 17.-Charles E.
Hughes has been asked by President
Wilson to assist Attorney General
Gregory in investigating the aircraft
situation. Mr.. Hughes has replied
that he will be glad to aid.
In asking Tar. Hughes to help IN
the investigation the President said:
"You have doubtless noticed that
very serious charges of dishonesty
have been made, in connection with
the production of aircraft.
Because Of the capital importance
of this branch of the military serv'
ice l feel that these charges should
be thoroughly investigated and with
as little delay as possible in order
that the guilty, if there be anya such
may be promtly and vigorously pro
secuted and that the regulations OF
those whose actions have been at
tackled may be protected in case the
charges are groundless.
II requested the Department OF
Justice to use every fundamentally
at its disposal to investigate these
charges, and, with tho approval of the
attorney general, am writing to beg
that you will act with him in making
this investigation. feel that this Is
a matter of the very greatest i'm
portance and I sincerely hope that
you will feel that it is possible to
contribute your very valuable service
in studying and passing upon the
questions involved"
Mr.. Hughes replied that he would
arrange his affairs to enter upon the
inquiry with as little delay as pos;
sible.

London, May 1.-THE Italian front
has again famed into violent action.
Fighting RACES among the rugged
peaks of the Asiago plateau, east of
the Brenta river.
The aggressive has been taken by
the Italians, however, and the Austro
German forces, instead of launching
their long expected assault on the 1tal-
ian lines have been compelled to fight
hard to maintain the positions they
have held since last November.
The fighting seems to have conferred
on. the comparatively short section Of
the battle line beween Monte Asolene
and Monte Pertica. These two heights,
about three miles apart, rise to an al
titude of about 5000 feet, while be-
tween them there is a sort OF saddle"
on which the Teutonic forces have
taken up strong positions.
Fighting Described as Bitter.
Both the Vienna and Rome official
statements tell of bitter fighting on
this particular front, the latter stating
that the Italian soldiers have entered
Austrian trenches on Mont Asolene in
two places.
The fact that the Italian armies
have taken the initiative in the fight
ing would seem to indicate they have
sought to carry the fight to the enemy
in such a way as to break up any ar
rangement for the launching of a
strong Teutonic assault. This has
many precedents in the present war,
q strong offensive at a threatened
point being considered at best defense
under certain circumstances.
$751;. Italian Lines Nowhere Reached
While the fighting has been very
fierce east of the Brenta, the whole
Italian line from Lake Garda to the
Pave. and thus to the sea has been
marked by patrol engagements, which
appear to be isolated actions, but
which. may be component parts OF
q plan of campaign in that theater of
the war. Nowhere have the Italian
lines been reached by attacking par
ties Of Austrians.
In Flanders and Picardy only heavy
artillery fire has marked the lighting
during the last day. American gun
ners have been at work in the gen.
,eral bombardment that has been going
on and again have set buildings In
Montdidier in flames. Here and there
there have been patrol engagements,
but these fights have not approached
the magnitude of battle at any
point.

Crews Destroy Seven British and
Four Russian Submarines in
Finnish Waters.
LONDON GIVES DETAILS
Admiralty Says Undersea Boats and
Number of Merchant Vessels Were
Sunk to Prevent Them Falling
Into German Hands.

London, May 1.-THE admiralty an
nounces that four Russian submarines
built in the United States and seven
British submarines were blown up in
Finnish waters to prevent their fall.
ing into the hands of the Germans.
The submarines. were destroyed at
Hango, in southwestern Finland, when
German naval forces approached that
port.
The seven British submarines were
destroyed during the five days from
April 3 to April 8. The admiralty says
the project of blocking the marlboro by
sinking ships in it had been rejected
by the Russian commander-in-chief.
Other Ships Are Destroyed.
The effect of the destruction of the
British submarines upon the crews of
merchant vessels was excellent, how
ever, the statement says, and induced
the destruction of many ships which
would otherwise have fallen into the
hands of the enemy.
"The guns at and near Hango," the
admiralty announcement adds, had
already been dismantled and upon the
appearance of the German forces the
Russians retreated from the va:inity
after blowing up their four American
submarines.
Four British submarines of Glass E
were taken outside the harbor of Hell
singfors on April and blown up and
sunk. Three c boats were demolished
between that day and April S. Their
crews were removed to Petcograd."
All British submarines in the har-
Dor of Helsingfors also were destroyed
when the German naval forces ap-
preached the city, because it was inn
possible to get them away, owing to
the fact that they were frjzen fast.
according to an admiralty statement
this evening.
The submarines, which had been cp-
Grating in the Baltic since the early
part of the war, were blown up, to-
gether with their stocks of torpedoes,
ammunition and other materials.
Their crews have arrived in England.
having travelled by way of Mourmansk.

HEAVY LOSSES FOR BRITISH
Past Week Brings More Casualties
Than ANY Of War,

lows: Killed or died of wounds: Or
ficers Sol, men 5,O65. Wounded or
missing: Officers 2,123, men 1898.
Reports of British casualties usually
are not available for some time after
the actions in which they are sus-
tanned. The large total in the last
week evidently represents losses SUI
fered when the fighting in Flanders
and Picardy was at it's height. Com
plete records have not been given out,
but it is probable that the casualties
reported in the last week are the heav-
lest British losses of any week of the
war. The total for the previous week
was 1851.
