COST OF THE WAR

(From the Philadelphia Evening
At a time when we are raising the
largest loan In the history of the
world, it is interesting to get Off
ciat figures as to what the war has
cost us so far. In eighteen months
we have paid out a little less than
$1S, 900, 100000, of which trifie
more than one-third has been in
loans to our Allies. For our own
purposes we have expended slightly
over 12,000,00O,000. and our fund
ed debt, plus certificates of the
Treasury and Thrift Stamps. out
standing, amounts to almost exactly
1000, 100000. Deducting the
amount of loans to the Allies, we
have increased our debt by only
$500, 900, 900, and that is less than
the favorable balance of trade since
the great war began. 49,.
In other words, we have paid out
for the war only what we have made
out of it, not counting an increase of
domestic wealth. The latter has
been very great. Time and again
in the Senate, in the last few days,
it has been stated that the increase
in wealth of the country is now at
the rate of forty billions a year. We
are richer than when the war be-
gan, and we shall be richer when it
closes, no matter how much we shall
spend, for we cannot catch up with
our income.
These figures are impressive, and
indicate clearly that every person
can subscribe to the loon with conn
ence that there is to be no loss IN
his investment.

THE HUNS CHALLENGE

TT seems to be generally accepted
L as fact that Immediately
on the conclusion of the war Ger
many will endeavor to flood the
markets of the world with prod~
ucts of the cheap labor of her people
in the hope Of rehabilitating her
enormous losses and her greatly
demoralized markets One of our
leading financial experts says Ger
many must pay her debts and she
will not be able to pay them with
indemnities eXtorted from conquered
nations She will try to pay them
by exporting goods, and while Ger
many is preparing for the after-war
period, we of the United States have
done practically nothing.
Are we again to be the victims of
unpreparedness? AS the world ac-
cepted Germany's challenge to arms,
the United States must accept the
Huns challenge to industry and
commerce

THE ACCURSED
By BRIGGS

From the earth, and sky, and sea,
Blood cries out on Germany.
There's no way to silence when
Once the blood-cry is on men.
High, or deep or far, or wide,
There's no place where they may
hide.
Now where shall they look for
mercy,
And what shall they say to pride
When they stand to face the muir
dered slaves,
And the children who have died,
And women come from the sea to
say
The tale of their guilt on the judg-
ment day?
The boys who died before Liege fell,
The girls in the Market Place
Will they forget in eternity
The mark on the Prussian face?
And is there a spot where they may
hide
From the eyes of the boys they
crucified?
Are there any tears that can wash
them clean?
Is there any word that can heal?
Where shall the weight of their lies
be laid?
To whom shall they appeal,
When babies cry from the bayonet
At the face where the brand of Cain
is set:
They shall read their broken treat
les then
To the God who has cursed a lie.
They shall look at the unblessed
mothers when
Their sorrows are carried by.
The pain, and the fear, and the mad
ness stand
Like a wall to encircle the Father
land.
Youth grown old in an hour or two!
Hope that crumbled from blow!
He'll turned loose in the village street
Wherever their armies go!
Fire dropped down from the sky!
The sea
Red like ambles!-Germany.
In all blue heaven there is no
star,
There is no refuge, near nor far,
There is not any mercy, when
Once the blood-cry is on men.
Four winds carry the long curse,
Searching through the universe;
There's no way to escape 1T, when
Once the blood-cry is on men.
LOUISE DRISCOLD.

REPRISALS
kansas City Star ]

lthdiiSdo Si'S OloA
In every retreat the German armies
always have methodically devastated
the country. 1t has teen their cal
culated purpose to use frightfulness
as a weapon against their enemies,
They have destroyed furniture, razed
houses and public buildings, cut
down orchards.
1t would not be strange if the Ger
man government should now try to
take advantage of this system to bar
gain for peace. do you wish peace ?"
it might say, "or will you see North
ern France and Belgium made into
desert?"
There is only one way to meet
such a proposal. That is the way the
Allies have proposed to Washington.
Frightfulness must be fought with
frightfulness. There must be re-
prisals. There is only one language
the German understands, and that
is force.
Germany should receive a solemn
warning that a strict account will
be kept. For every town, for every
building, wantonly destroyed, there
should be exacted a double toll.
The German government should be
formally notified of the sort of
retribution it will bring upon itself.
1t will have an enormous bill to
pay for the destructive work al
ready done in Belgium and France.
1t can invite absolute financial ruin
| If it chooses. 1t can insure the lay
ing waste of Cologne, of Frankfort,
of Munich, of Dresden, even of Ber-
lin itself, if it continues the course
| it seems to haye adopted.
Such reprisals would be fearful.
! But they might be necessary if the
world is to be protected from repe-
| tition of Germanys present crimes.

ingsby Dawson says concerning them
in the preface of his latest book
Out to Win" He discusses the
various kinds of fools who are max
ing the war harder for those who
are really doing the fighting at the
front and back of the lines, and re-
sarding the particular group to
which we have referred, he says;
AT the end of the war the men

call of duty and to have played

There is one type OF fool. exclu-
sively American, whose stupidity
arises from love and tenderness,
Very often she is woman, She
has been responsible for the ar
rival in France of a number of
narrow minded and well-inten-
toned persons; their errand is to
investigate vice conditions in the

cion of the women at home con-

phatically that cleaner, more

Both in Great Britain and on the
Continent, their puritanism has
created deep impression. By
their power felt: they are men
with vision in their eyes, who
have travelled three thousand
miles to keep a rendezvous with
death. That those for whom they
are prepared to die should suspect
them is a degrading disloyalty.
That trackers should be sent

clues to their unworthiness is .
clearly damnable, To disparage
the heroism of other nations Is
bad enough; to distrust the heroes
If your own flesh and blood, at

guilty of the meanest treachery

When our soldiers come back
after the winning of the greatest
war in the history of the world they

PLAN OF A STATESMAN

TTTHAT this country needs and
w desires is the leadership of
men who possess the qualities
of true craftsmanship - foresight,
sound judgment, and readiness to
act promptly and courageously. We
have had too much of waiting for
public opinion to lead. We have
had too much of preparedness after
the emergency is upon us. We have
had too much of type of states
manship that shouts righteous prin-
ciples only after the mass of the
people will tolerate delay no longer.
We have had too much of states
manship that follows instead of lead
ing. 1t is a relief to the country,
therefore, to read the plan of Sem
ator JOHN w. Weeks, of Massacbu-
sets, for the creation of a joint Con-
gressional committee on reconstruc-
tion-a committee to be composed
of an equal number of members of
each of the political parties, and an
equal number of members of each
house, of Congress. There is need
for immediate and thorough study
of problems of reconstruction. The
war has brought unusual conditions
into every phase of industrial or
ganization and enterprise. Labor,
manufactures, agriculture, banking,
transportation, communication by
wire, shipping, foreign trade, hous-
ing-in fact, every form of activ-
ity is under abnormal conditions
Adjustment of all these component
parts of our industrial system to
the conditions of peace is vitality

you TICKLE ME, ETC"

A THE Telegraph has frequently
n indicated in the discussion Of
the commission form of munich
pal government, one of its funda-
mental weaknesses is the tendency
of officials to shift responsibility by
the old system of log rolling and
exchange of alleged courtesies in
matters of legislation. Instead of a
highly developed sense of RESPONSE
bility there is a constant breaking
down of efficiency through one COM
missioner doing for another COM
missioner what he ought not to do
on the basis of you tickle me and
Ill tickle you"
Harrisburg is suffering to-day from
Just this sort of administration,
When failures are brought to the at
tention ofI this or that official the
almost invariable answer is: That
isn't my department; you'll have TO
see Commissioner -"
although the matter in question is
of such character as to invite and
require the serious attention of the
entire membership of the City Coun-
Gil.
Reading is having a fine illustra-
ton of how the commission form of
government does not work. At a
special session a day or two ago of
the council of that city a water
loan bill was killed, after a wordy
war, in which the head of the water
department was attacked by all the
other members. We quote from a
news dispatch:
You're a dirty liar" shouted Coun-
Gilman Ruth at his colleague, Mr..
Stauffer and brandished his fist un-
der the latter's nose.
Call the Chief of Police" ordered
If you can't conduct the Bureau OF
Water, one of the other three Coun-
cilmen can, and we will see to it that
you are changed" said Mayor Filbert
to Mr.. Stauffer.
All this was brought about by a
statement which Mr.. Staufrer made
Thursday, in which he declared that
he fathered the bill not because he
wanted it passed, but to be courteous
to his colleagues, and that to propose
big loan to the voters at this time
was unpatriotic.
So there you are. What is hap
pening in Reading and other cities
has happened here in a less violent
form. We are not making the head
way in Harrisburg that we should,
simply because of this disposition
to shift responsibility instead of as
suming the manifest obligations that
