DIsCOURAGINC FACTS THAT POINT
THE WAY TO VICTORY

MO CONTEST was ever won by over
" estimating ones own strength and
Understanding the strength of ones op-
ponent
We cannot win this war by shutting our
eyes to the strength q Germany and by
concluding that we have an easy task.
The assertion Of General Stein to the
Reichstag that the Germans outnumbered
the enemy in the recent battles is now
virtually admitted in France. England and
the United States. We are beginning to
believe with General Maurice that General
Fochs reserves existed chiefly on paper.
The gravity of the situation Is admitted
by President Wilson, by Mr.. Asquith and
by the correspondents at the front The
fact that the correspondents are allowed
to write about it proves that the war board
has decided that it is useless longer to
attempt to keep the truth from the public.
The inability of the Germans to break
through does not mean that we are win
ming the war, nor do the reports Of starva-
ton in Germany which have lately been
sent out-of course, with the knowledge
of the German censors-indicate that Ger.
many is really starving. If the Germans
can persuade us to believe that they are
on the verge of "a breakdown at home they
think they can induce us to slow up in our
war work and in sending troops to France.
Germany is suffering from lack of certain
kinds of food, but she has enough to keep
her people alive and in fighting condition.
We must act as though this were abso-

MODELLING LABOR

THE necessity of securing labor for all
u the war industries is admitted. 1t is
up to the Government to secure ii. Every
time 1t has suggested conscrpting labor
there has been strenuous objection from
the labor organizations
The Government has evolved a new plan
to go into effect on July 49, which it hopes
will accomplish the desired end without
stirring up any hostility. In brief 1t is
that all unskilled labor needed by war in
dustries which employ more than 100 men
shall be obtained through central bureaus
in each State and that there shall be no
bidding Of one industry against another
This much has been decided. The War
Policies Board of the Department of Labor
is considering the Standardization Of wages
Whether it will agree on a fixed wage be-
fore July IS is not known. The board also
Is considering the extension of the plan
to skilled as we'll as to unskilled labor.
II the war industries are short of help
the non-war industries are to be asked
to give up their laborers that the dema nds
Of the shipbuilders, the munition factories
and the rest may be supplied. And all labor
is to be obtained through the Government
employment bureau in which the men are
to be registered. 1t Is assumed that the
men will willingly go where they are sent
and will continue to work at the job found
for them by the bureau.
The object is to mobilize labor so that
it can be sent where 1t is needed The
plan cannot succeed without the hearty
cooperation of both employers and en-
ployes in non-war industry. If 1t does sue
ceed, according to Louis F. Post. the So
cialist Assistant Secretary of Labor, "by
the time the peace treaty is signed the old
division between employers and employees
as distinct classes will have passed away"

THE BRITISH.AME DRAFT PART.
NERSHIP

THE most significant and substantial evil
I dence Of the complete cooperation and
confdence existing between this country
and Great Britain is the new draft treaty.
It is certainly one of the most remarkable
instances of international governmental
partnership that has ever been planned.
BY this treaty the United States will be
empowered to draft into our own army
British and Canadian subjects in this coun.
try within the British draft age, twenty
Americans in Canada and Great Britain
within American draft age-twenty-one to
thirty-one-will be subject to draft for the
British army. Americans in Canada or
this country may leave to serve in their
own armies sixty days after the treaty
shall be ratified. Exemption may be granted
by certificate issued by the diplomatic rep
resentatives of each Government in un-
usual cases. Irish Subjects Of Great Britain
are exempt until British conscription is
applied in Ireland
This is one more step in the complete
military union of this country and Great
Britain for the purposes of this war. 1t is
the logical sequence of the brigading of
English and American troops in the same
units in France. 1t may be in order to
suggest that Berlin papers copy. but we
Doubt whether they will care to.
