Peace Gas
We are using two weapons against

We are using two weapons against Ger
many.
One is the sword.
One is a very dangerous instrument
called political propaganda.
BY the sword alone nation may either
live or die, as it's destiny provides. At
worst it's death will be clean and restful.
But political propaganda hath treach-
crous vapors. 1t is like an experimental
gas set free upon the air. If it reaches the
enemy as intended it may cool his passion
and uhtwine his fingers from the sword.
But it NAV be turned back, as by an un-
toward wind, and fall upon those whose
passion is righteous and ought not to be
cooled. and produce its effect upon them
instead. That seems an uncomfortable
peril.
Consider what has begun to happen.

The arguments with which we seek to
procure revolt of the German people
against their military caste at the Same
time give aid and comfort to all the
Bosheviki on the Allied side.

CRYING of peace. Peace." as an echo to
our political propaganda abroad causes
people in spite of themselves to relax

Well. perhaps there will be peace shortly
and then our blundering will not have mat

1t will not be missed. Anyhow, there is the
possibility of peace before Mr.. Hurley has
ships enough to send away our surplus

That is how the poison works.

The March TO Petrograd

Germany seems definitely to have com
mitted herself to an ''nvasion" Of Great
Russia The only material difficulties in
the way on the march on Pctrograd arc
the walking which is slushy at this sea
son Of the year, and the perversencss of
the Maximalist troops who Communicated
all the rolling stock for Old Home Week
At first glimpse the distances involved
seem somewhat forbidding. 1t is a little
less than 800 miles from Riga to Petro-
grad, and about double that distance from
Petrograd to Brest- -Ltovsk, the late home
of ''peace" and the great fortress which
will undoubtedly be used for concentra-
tions cooperating with the Ukrainans
who are to be "protectcd' From her
naval bases already established on Dago.
Oesel and Moon islands, at the mouth OF
the Gulf of Riga, Germany has another
clear roaGstcad to Kronstadt and Pctro-
grad.
On the sea the Bolsheviki possess the
defensive inheritance of few scattered
mine fields and modern battle fleet in
capable of fighting. On land their sure
shield is an aggregation of guerilla bands
accustomed now to scampcr at the first
spiked helmet on the horizon, and
Trotzky's slippery tongue, which Kuehl-
mann seems to have feared more than
General Hoffman,. The German prob
lem, then, is not one of conquest but
merely one of occupation
1t would be absurd to dignity such an
excursion as q campaign. The march 20
Peking during the Boxer uprising pre-
sented greater obstacles. No strategic
man9uvres are in order, no vast masses
Of artillery or munitions are needed. The
essential requirement, as in any foray,
IS to possess and police the chief centres
Of population.
SO far as the Allied fronts are con-
cerncd these movements will have no I'M
mediate military significance They will
not in the least delay such Withdrawals
of troops for service in the Western thea
ire as Germany is already making. The
twenty odd divisions which Hindenbure
in any event intended to leave in the
East will be sufficient for all purposes

Constructive and Practical

At st. Louis last Saturday Mr. Nicholas
Murray Butler discussed a number of gov
ernmental reforms whose urgency has
been emphasized by our war experience.
Two Of them (and they really merge into
one) are the introduction of a budget svs-
tenn and participation in debate in the
House and Senate by members of the
Cabinet.
Our system of rigdly separating the
executive and legislative functions has
worked badly. 1t has prevented co0rdina-
tion between the Executive department
and Congress by minimizing the points of
contact between the bodies which vote the
appropriations and make the laws and the
agencies which execute the laws and snend
the money. 1t has also transposed the
proper roles Of the legislative and the OK
ecutlVe branches in the matter Of prepar
ing supply bills and controlling expendi
turc. so that Congress does what the En-
ccutivc ought to do in preparing and as
sumng responsibility for the budget. and
the Executive does what Congress ought
10 do in auditing, controlling and scruti
nlzlng expenditure of the money granted.
There would be real incentive to
economy if the Administration were com
PEELED to accept entire responsibility for
national expenditure. AS it is, the depart
ments and bureaus flood the appropria-
tions committees of the House and Senate

Captain Wilding, of New Zealand

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sr: In your editorial of yesterday morn
ing on the death of Captain Vernon Castle
you have referred with great perception and
beauty to the sense Of personal loss all Of
us have when lives like Castles and An
thony Wlding's, Of such vivid illumination,
go suddenly out
May |, however. correct your facts in re-
gard to Captain Widing? He was born and
lived near Christchurch. New Zealand, and
was in no way an Australian, and never at
tached to the Anzac forces. lie gave his life
very recklessly and gaanuy in the trenches
at Neuvc Chapele in France
To those of your readers who share your
admiration of the man, and perhaps your
pardonable msnformaton. | venture to
recommend the book, "Captain Anthony
Wilding." by A. Wallis Myers.

Care Makes Bees Efficient.

Because OF lack OF attention fully
half the bees nov kept in the United
states are virtually useless TO their
owners and consequently Bookkeeping is
often condemned us Improbable. Prob
ably In an average season for the
United States as n whole the surplus
honey obtained by good beekeepers
scarcely VIII exceed so pounds 10 the
colony. Assuming that 400 pounds Is
the average needed by a hive to main
tain Its existence during the year, this
oO-pound surplus represents then only
one-ninth OF the nectar gathered by the
bees. In such nm average season an
apiary Of 100 colonies may gather nee.
tar equivalent 10 22Ih tons OF honey
where the honey crop" or surplus
honey will be only 2h tons. That 100

amount doubtless Is much below the
actual sugar at hand, for when nectar
Is flowing freely bees do not get It all.

and often more than 100 colonies can
be Kept %proftnbly In one place.
In the face OF these facts II II regret.

fall to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are pnrts OF the United Stntes where
0O per cent Of all colonies OF bees are
In hollow logs or plain square boxes
In which combs Of bees cannot be-
handled. There are few parts OF the
country where the box hive is not
found md probably one-thlrd OF all the
bees In the country are so housed. In
this case both equipment and manage

Or these shipments only three showed
any material loss OF contents because

to Unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types Of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments OF sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro.
vided with outer cartons OF corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces Of cork that cover
the opening In the cans when the screw

OF the cans beside the screw caps.
