What The Kaiser Forgot.
(Rutland Herald


1t would take columns to tell what
the Kaiser remembered in getting
ready for this war-alI the items Of
military equipment, storerooms Of
information collected by his spies,
order forms in blank for the destruc-
ton of Belgian cities, etc.-but there
is one thing that the Kaiser forgot.
He thought it was perfectly safe to
risk the coming of the United States
into the war because he believed we
could not raise an effective army in
time.
He knew we had the men and that
we could make the munitions but
he knew further that men and NUM-
tions without competent trained Off
GERS are not an army but a mob, and
the Kaiser was sure we did not have
the officers and could not get them.
What the Kaiser forgot vas the
American college boy. Probably he
did not know much about them. He
had seen. the American postgraduate
in his German universities, the book
worm the scientist, the artist, the
writer, the jurist, the scholar type,
but the American undergraduate that
goes to football matches, baseball
games, athletic events of all kinds,
who lives largely in the outdoors and
vet keeps up his studies-this type
the Kaiser knew nothing about

Fuel Shortage Feared.
New York Herald.)

In the various government depart

next winter is creating solicitude.
Anthracite is arriving here on q
somewhat larger scale than a year
ago. The State of New York has
been granted an increase Of ten per
cent. in it's allotment of domestic an
thracite this year, and this should
result in an increase to each COM
n1unity.
The output of bituminous coal Is
somewhat greater than a year ago, but
scarcely enough to keep pace with
the demand Secretary Redfeld calls
the possibility of a shortage and urges
every possible economy in the use Of
coal. Restrictions on electric advere
Using illumination are being con.
sidered by the Fuel administration.
From some of the bituminous fields

ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS.

Lord Robert Cecil, British Under
Secretary of State for Foreign At
fairs and Minister of Blockade, has
issued q statement declaring that
there exists now an Association Of
twenty-four nations, comprising the
Entente Allies. It is significant that,
in outlining the policies which the
Association will pursue, Lord Cecil
quotes freely from the recent
speeches of President Wilson.
The British statesman asserts that
England gives warmest assent to the
declaration of the President who
said that the main principle of the
Association is 1.-The removal so far as
possible, of all economic barriers and
the establishment of an equality of
trade among all the nations consent
ing to peace and associating them
selves for it's maintenance. And
also that should the German people,
after the war, continue to be obliged
to live under ambitious and intrigu-
peace of the world, they might find
it impossible to be admitted "etther
to the partnership of nations which
must henceforth guarantee the
nomic lnterc curse which must newt
ably spring out of the partnerships
of real peace. Lord Cecil adds
that Germany must release her VIC
TINS from the economic slavery that
she has imposed uon them and while
the war continues we must take as
measures of war all the steps required
to destroy the economic basis of her
military effort"

Rates On The Wires.
(ROSfOn Herald.N

The overwhelming vote in the
national House of Representative on
the question of authorizing the Presi-
telephone systems of the country in
dictates that Government operations
Will eventually extend into the field.
The problem Of successfully con-
Quoting a public utility under private
management has become immeasur-
ably more difficult than ever before.
Employees everywhere are asking
more pay backed by official pressure.
Revenues the other hand are held
in leash by the requirement that all
increases in rates must have the ap-
prevail of some public authority.
With Postmaster General Burleson
in charge Of the wires, ali the diff
cult problems of Management will
quickly disappear. He will resort to
the simple expedient of curtailing
service and raising rates. A year ago
no railroad would have had the
courage to ask the privilege of selling
mileage books on a three-Cent basis.
Nor would the telegraph and tele-
phone companies today find public
opinion in a tolerant attitude if they
should propose to abolish reduced
rates for night messa ges and raise
their scale of charges by so per
cent at one stroke. But it is a fair
hazard that Government operation of
the wires would bring both of these
things to pass.

Super-Tanks Needed.
Electrical Experimental }

Ever since the tank made its
first appearance we have pointed out
that Oh account of its ridiculously
slow speed the machine as now built
could never be a factor IL modern
warfare. In other words the large
and speedy machine obviously is the
thing in this war. Ore such mon
ster repaces several thousand men.
The nation that can build the largest
buildings on earth that has the
greatest mechanical resources Of the
Allies, san easily build these oompa-
ratively simple machines. They are
feasible from an engineering stand
point. Most important Of all such
machines can be readily sent to
France knocked down. Five hundred
Of them could be sent to France with
the same amount of tonnage it takes
to send over 25, 900 Of our boys. Five
hundred big monsters might decide
the war for us quickly: $4,000 men
a. mere trif1e in this war-they do
not begin to make an impression. A
few weeks ago, if We had proposed a
gun that could shoot seventy-fOur
miles we would have been laughed
at scornfully. 1t would have boon
one of our pipe dreams" The
trouble with lis Americans is that we
do not dream" enough, while the
Germans out dream us. And if we
do not get the big machines over to
France soon. the Germans will surely
beat us to it. Let us wake up.

SibCTia'S told.
{ A STA Ma gazine. J

The worlds greatest unexpected
gold fields are in that section Of Asia
on which the German hand is clos
ing. Siberia is full of gold reefs. In
Turkestan | have seen graVels 500
feet thick which We're being mined
for gold at the top and at the bot
tom. Not much gold is won, but
that is not strange when the miners
merely pan the gravel by hand. I
have actually seen them panning the
gravel dry with their hands. and
then winnoWing it like chaff. When
all this gold is developed what is
likely to happen? No one knows
what the German plans may be, but
this is what they might do. Suppose
they have Russia, and much of Asia
at their mercy, and have perhaps
fifteen years in which to prepare for
the next war. II the goVernme
sets to work to develop the many
gold mines Of northern and central
Asia, there is no knowing how much
sold may be produced.
Germany, using methods that are
now her habit, would not hesitate to
appropriate or in one way or another
control the bulk of the product Of
the mines. Thus she might pay a
large part Oh the vast OGDt winch she
has incurred. At the same time she
could throw so much gold on the
market that its value would rapidly
decline, and prices in general would
go up. Such a course would make it
easier for all countries to pay their
debts but it would be ruinOus to the
people who have lent money to the
governments by buying bonds. 1t
would create no end of trouble also
between capital and labor for rising
prices always lead to strikes.
Tho only way to defend ourselves
would be to adopt a dollar based on
some broader and less calculating
standard than gold--a commodity
dollar whose real value would always
be the same. Such q course would
require time, however. and before it
could be carried out Germany would
have paid much of her debt; she
would have developed vast resources
in Asia; she would have at her dis
pOsal plenty Of food, cotton, rubber,
petroleum, copper, and many other
material resources She would be
ready for another struggle, while we
should still be plunged in debt, still
wondering how to prepare. We cam
not let this happen. We must hasten
, the war and end 1t.

A ROYAL Marriage.
CTOrOnto Mail and Empire.

(Toronto Mail and Empire)
If needed no more than the sugges-
| ton that the prince of Wales ought to
pay visit to the United States to
| inspire certain romantic Americans
with the idea that the prince will
come out to choose an American bride.
A rev years ago a proposal that the
future King of England should choose
an American to share his throne
would have produced either ridicule
or wrath. Today it does not seem alb
Surd. If the prince of Wales desired
TO marry an American girl or a Cana
dian girl it is unli5ly that King George
would object or that the kings adj
Vlsers would veto the proposal. In
! fact, this war has produced such a
tremendous growth of democratic
sentiment in the world that in the
future English kings and queens
probably will be permitted to marry
whom they please. SO long as they do
not pick out somebody with a German
name, as has been too often the GUS
tom in the past.
It can be taken for granted that the
prince Of Wales will not marry a Ger
man or an Austrian princess, nor one
of the daughters of the former Car.
There is no French princess to marry.
and no available Bol~ian or Italian
princess. His wife must he a profess
tant, and this restricts the field TO
Sweden and Denmark The fact that
Sweden is and has been DrO-Gorman
makes it impossible that the British
heir-apparent should marry a Swede.
and it is felt that Denmark has done
her bit in supplying royal brides His
Royal Highness is "a years old, and
there can be little doubt that had it
not been for the war he would have
made a true love match with some
princess before this, since early mar
riages were considered most import
ant and necessary in the world that
came to an end in August, 1914. How
they will be regarded in the new
world that is trying to be born we
cannot say.
There would be no prejudice
against him choosing an American
bride, or a Canadian bride. or an Aus
tralian bride, the only difficulty being
that as far as Canadian girls are con-
cerned most Of them have somebody
in love with them already, and loyal
as they are to the throne, people who
are in love with Canadian girls would
not give them up even to a king that
is to be. There are many available
Americans, all of them charming and
very, very rich and willing. Tt is by
no means improbable that if Prince
Edward is to marry in response to
suggestions from kings advisers. he
will choose one Of Uncle Sans daugh-
tiers. Such q match would undoubted-
ly contribute to q closer union of the
two great Eng1ish-spe races. It
would be a guarantee of the essen
tial democracy of the British form Of
government, In these circumstances
who will rise and declare, Il forbid
the banns?"

THE NEW OFFENSIVE

Early this morning word was
flashed across the Atlantic that the
German hosts have launched a new
offensive, attacking the Americans in
the vicinity OF Naux, and the French
between rheims and the Argonne. A
British communication adds that the
enemy succeeded in crossing the
Marine ri several points. while =
French statement informs us that de-
spite terrible gas attacks the Aneri-
cans and their Allies are holding the
Hun in check. It is too earlv as vet ~
estimate the scope Of this "drive' or
to forecast it's result. We are sure
however, that the Germans will find
it even more difficult to advance than
last March, when they sacrificed
thousands Of men to gain a. few
square miles of devastated territory
The American people await the out
come of the gigantic conflict with
supreme confidence.

Faxes and Proftee1ing.
tSt, Louis Republic

President Wilson'S suggestion that
the profteering that cannot be got
at by the restraints of conscience and
love of country can be got at by tax
alton" is supplemented by the report
of the Federal Trade commission,
which shows pretty clearly who has
been doing the prohteering
A system Of taxation which would
deprive the prof1teers of every cent
wrongfully gouged from the public
would raise enough money to carry
on the war for months, but it is Ioubt-
fun whether it would cure the evil
complained of. The public knows too
we'll by experience that such extra
charges are merely passed on" with
interest. to the consumer, who is now,
as ever, the goat"
In order to I've effective. therefore,
the system to control profiteering
should not only tax the excess profits
in every line of business due to the
