Government control of railroads has not so far proved an unmixed blessing to the general public, nor has it brought about that Utopian dream of a perfect existence gre dicted by the government ownership ora tors of past and present years. In fact the much muligned rule of the railroad manag- CTS has been vindicated, in sense, so far as the public dealings with railroads are con
 cerned. Freight rates have been advanced under government control and so have passenger fares and Pullman rates All trains have been taken off that were run for the convenience and comfort of the travelling public, by the railroad managers, rather than for profit. These rigid econo- mics are all explained and excused by the assertion that they are war measures. And no one IS making complaint. Everything to win the war goes. The greatest troop movement ever known in the new world is under way now and will doubtless continue all summer. Freight and mail and passen- ger deliveries are slow, uncertain and hard to be pleased with But the war comes first. However, there has been nothing so far developed by government control of railroads that would justify 1t or vindicate 1t for a moment except stern war neces- sity.

THE LOYAL RED MAN.

From the Celeveland Plain Dealer: Many criticisms have been made of the Indian romances written by James Feni- more Cooper His pet red men, like Uncas and Chingachgook, were derided be- cause of their alleged heroism, their fidelity and their sentimental acts. They were called stage Indians and in every way un- true to nature. In England the Cooper TO- mances were accepted without serious question. The Cooper Indians were looked upon as the genuine article. Perhaps, in measure, our English cousins were wiser than we were.
 Anyway, there seems to be no question of the Indians loyalty and fidelity and usefulness today. In every reservation the first families of America are flying the service flags. The red men have bought liberally of Liberty bonds, they have given freely to the Red Cross. There are ln- dians in the National Army-some of them are in the trenches on the western front. One of the reservation tribes offered its famous peace pipe, a tribal heirloom, to be sold to the highest bidder for the benefit of the Red Cross.
 That great awakening of loyalty and service that is sweeping over the country hash t missed the red men.

The passing of Charles w. Fairbanks
 former vice president of the United States, last week, attracted but little notice in the press beyond the bare telegraphic an nouncement of his fatal sickness and his end. Yet Fairbanks was entitled to more space than this For fifteen or twenty years he was power in the republican party and leader of Indiana politics. Twice he sought his party's nomination for the presidency, and, holding always the delegation from his own state, a pivotal state, his candidacy was seriously consid- cred. But Roosevelt's influence the last time gave the prize to William Howard Taft. Fairbanks was not a popular or mag netic leader. He was a conservative. He was often referred to as the human ice berg. But he was man of parts. Sane, silent, substantial His acts spoke louder than his words. He had keen and we'll balanced mind and a capacity for hard work. He sat always in high councils, but was not an orator, hence lack of standing in the popular mind outside of Indiana, where his attainments were better known. But for the fact that this nation is engaged in life and death struggle the passing of Fairbanks would have engaged more at tention from the country at large.

It is, beginning to be more and more ap- parent, even to a landlubber in the noun tain-bound, desert-locked fastnesses of Ari- zona, that the Germans have a submarine base somewhere on or just off the Atlantic coast of the North American continent. Else their submarines could not operate for more than day or two in these waters. Of course the coast line of this continent em- braces several thousand miles, and to find this base is not an easy task. But 1t will and must be found and destroyed. This submarine dash to America is only flash in the pan. It burned us, it is true, but it accomplished no vital purpose in the Great War.

THE TERRIBLE DEPTH BOMB.

Herman Whitaker in the Independen New York Of all the enginery of de struction produced in the war, there is no weapon more terrible than the depth bomb. The explosion of one lifts col umn of water thirty yards wide fifty feet above the sea. One that was discharged
 nearly two hundred yards away from 30,O00-ton ocean liner heaved her up six inches in the water So terrible are they that destroyers only drop them when run ming at high speed to insure getaway, and even then the iron floor plates of the boiler room are often lifted by the concus- sion.

Two significant headlines appeared in the papers recently that will have a direct bearing upon the war. One was the an nouncement of billion bushel wheat crop and the other was the declaration that, revision of the draft lists has been ordered by the provost marshal Wheat is an ally of the allies. Germany must fight practi- cally without wheat In short dash this might well not have much effect, but in long race 1t is bound to play vital part. So billion bushels of wheat go into the scale against Germany this year from the United States alone. The revision of the draft lists means that thousands of exemp- tions and deferred classifications will be recalled. Uncle Sam wants men by the hundreds of thousands and he wants them right away. These two answers to the suc- cess of the last German offensive serve notice on the rest of the world as to just where this government stands at this phase of the war and as to just what part it will play later in this mighty game It Is in June of next year that the effect of these answers will be really felt

Some of the best known and most au- thoritative of the Paris military experts are calling for a counter offensive. They argue that the defensive style of fighting for the past ten weeks has been a losing game and that mighty counter stroke is all that can hold the allied lines with three deep salicnts extending into them at vital points.

"The kaiser" Senator Sherman
said lin making acknowledgment
referred feelingly to the intimate
relationship between Senor Car
rama and his own helmeted self.
Just how intimately this friend
ship may be arouses more than
idle curiosity, if we remember
that the allies bought 100000 900
barrels Of oil from Mexico last
year.
How his prosperity may be
promoted by our winning the war
is a pertinent inquiry, especially
when the kaiser fervently asks
that the intimate relationship
between them shall be so deep
ened and strengthened that it
may result in a victorious peace.
Such a peace is full OF sinister
menace for this country"

UKRAINE TREATY
"SCRAP OF PAPER"
PEACE DEAL BETWEEN GERMANY

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE peace treaty be.

S not taken seriously in French official

Elective or not, the people Of Ukraine
ave not been able under the present
circumstances to have their say.
The treaty, however, is regarded as

leace may mean, and in this connec-
ion it may be pointed out that the
loople of neither contracting party
las been consulted; that the dam

NEW TYPE OF DIPLOMACY BORN
AND Is ADOPTED BY ALL

DAYLIGHT ON ALL PLANS
Radical Departure From Ancient and
Accepted Intrigue, Lying and Deceit
America Has Forced German to
Come Publicly Before All Peoples

Washington, Feb. l2.-Ac-
tual peace negotiations Of
new type ard on a far greater
scale than heretofore known
are seen by old school diplo-
mats in the recent series of ad-
dresses by spokesmen of the
warning nations outlining
terms.
Although President Wilson's
latest address to congress is re-
garded as a clear reiteration
of Americas determination to
continue to fight until the mill
tary masters of Germany are
ready to consider peace on the
principles of justice, it was
pointed out negotiations on
vast scale really are going on.
These extra official nego-
tiations," as they are called by
diplomats, depart radically
from the ancient and accepted
practices of diplomacy. In
stead of being conducted in the
secrecy of round table confer
ences, which was the aim of
the central powers in the early
stages of the war, the great is
sues are now being expounded
and critically analysed in the
light of publicity and the
worlds forum.
