IN THE MELTING POT.

The melting down of German statu-
ary for munitions of war continues.
Already the bronze effigy of FTeder-
lex |. in Berlin has gone into the
caldron, and the statues of William l.
and of Frederick III. are to go next.
In Bervaria 300 statues, including fifty
in Munich alone, are doomed, besides
a score in Leipzig.
First the church bells, then the
door-knobs and copper roofs, and now
the memorials of the great. The pres
ent sacrifice gives increasing evidence
Of the acute shortage of metal for
war uses in Germany. The empire is
thicklv strewn with bronze statuary,
and from this source, no doubt,

memorials of the kind, including a
colossal figure of Bismarck. Will this
eventually go? If the doomed statue
Of William I. is the one surmounting
the imposing monument to the first
German Kaiser by the royal palace,
the fact bears witness to the heroic
nature O fthe sacrifice.
But the remarkable thing is the
equal fate of the emblems and images
of autocracy and absolutism and OF
the statues of poets and thinkers. Here
is a democracy of the melting pot, so
to say. of curious and suggestive in

THE JOY-RIDER NEXT.

The motorless Sundays, besides the
gasoline they save, are notable for
the light they throw on American
character. They reveal the existence
of something about which many peo-
pie have long been skeptical-an au-
tomobile conscience.
Owners of motor-cars are not or
dered to give up pleasure-r riding for
the day; they are merely asked by
the Fuel Administrator to make the
sacrifice to aid the Government in
conserving fuel for war uses, and
the cheerfulness and practical unani-
nifty with which the request is heed
ed is a remarkable testimony to
American patriotism. When men ga
Their in the streets, as happens in
some localities, to shame the few
evaders of what was, after all, only
an ethical obligation, the spirit of
American support of the Administra-
TONS war policies must be regarded
as pretty near par.
If moral persuasion can do all this,
if it can make millions of people give
up as a patriotic duty one of their
keenest pleasures, why can it not be
applied to the correction of some of
the serious abuses of automobiling?
Perhaps if the Federal Government
would only appeal to motorists to
abandon reckless driving and noe
turnal joy-riding, it could end the
apeed-law violations and the street
slaughter which local and State Leg
islation has been powerless to curb.
Why not try persuasion where COM
pulsion mas wholly failed? The sud
den discovery that the automobile
conscience is really an Inward mont
tor of the good old Puritan kind may
suggest the advantage of tackling
the problem along this line and eff
fccting a conservation of human life
for the period of the war by request
from Washington.

TIE LANGUAGE OF OUR FRIENDS.

One of the most interesting results
of the war educationally will be a
greater interest in Great Britain and
America in the study of the French
language, and, reciprocally, in France
in the study of English. Many Amer
lean newspapers have been giving
easy lessons in French phrases such
as American soldiers may need, and
several Paris papers are performing
like service for French readers. The
Matin and OEuvre are printing les
sons in English for French people
who would like to talk with English
and American soldiers The simpler
rules in English grammar are some
times printed on the top of the first
page Of French newspapers, and in
Paris two great classes of English,
named the King George and the
President Wilson, have been formed
The French Government is not leav-
ing instruction in English wholly to
private initiative. 1t proposes to Of
fer facilities to troops of the Allied
ar mics to learn French.
To know a peoples language is the
first and best step toward an under
standing of their character and
ideals, and as France, England, Italy
and the United States will hereafter
be bound by strong ties of friendship
cemented on the battlefield, it would
seem that these people ought to know
the language of their friends.

DOUGHNUTS AND DOUGHBOYS

New testimony comes to the great
popularity of the dOugnnut in the
American Army abroad. Thanks to
the initiative of Salvation Army cooks,
supplemented by the activities Of Red
Cross caterers, the doughnut is said
now to be in enormous demand ana to
rank next only to apple pie as
delicacy of war diet.
Doughnuts for "doughboys!" If
fighting efficiency bears the relation TO
food claimed for it, why seek a fur
Their explanation of the powess OF
Pershing's men in the trenches?
Doughnuts have animated whole lot
of yalor at home and helped make
history, and it is satisfactory to see
that they have not lost tehir potency.
But the point OF interest TO Amer
leans is the revival of army cooks of
what had weIl-nigh become a lost
culinary art here. In the days fol-
lowing rehabilitation, when the troops
return to their native heaths, the
fact that they will bring with them
knowledge of what a doughnut is
and should be is the excellent au-
curry for the rest of us. They will
restore a delicacy of bygone days
! while Incidentally Teintroducing II
Europe a dainty brought by the frs
Americans from their ancestral
homes.

THE PEACE SITUATION.

THE government asks the
American people to withhold
their judgment on Germany's
note until President Wilson has
received the official communica-
ton and has had opportunity to
study it."
1t would be difficult. if not alto
gether impossible, to accurately sum
Marie the consensus Of American
opinion on the present war situation.
Opinion is not only divided but is
uncertain. Undoubtedly there are
many able thinkers and well-inform-
ed men, some of them real statesmen,
who adhere to the policy of forcing
Germany to an absolute and uncon-
ditional surrender before any mea-
sure of peace terms is discussed.
There are others, equally well-posted
and Just as sincere, who think that
a compliance with the president
evacuation requirements, with suffi-
cient guarantees, affords an adequate
basis for negotiations that will ter
inmate the bloodiest of all wars.
Generally, however, there is an I'M
Willingness to trust Germany in any
thing, and that is the reason chiefly
why sentiment is now conflicting
But this much is uncertain-no one
will be satisfied with any arrange
ment that approaches a draw.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

Among the outcroppings of the
war which have prophetic bear
ing on times of peace none is more
interested and promising than the
formal recommendation by the IN
ternational Parliamentary Conference
at London of the construction of al
tunnel under the English Channel
This project is now nearly one hun
dred and twenty years old, having
been first suggested to Napoleon in
1902 by an engineer named Matthew
1t appealed strongly to the magma
ton of the great Corsican. In Eng
land, through all the years, there
have been opposed to it the preju-
dices of conservative masses and the
fears of foolish people with night
mare visions of invasions before
them.
Gen. Francis Vinton Greene of New
York has written for the current is
sue of the Yale Review a compre
hensive history Of the tunnel pro-
ject, showing how it was neglected
by the dull minds of Napoleon's i'm
mediate successors in France, how
the Franco German War of 1870 con-
firmed the British in hesitation and
how, with the Rothschilds among
the French hackers of the scheme, q
convention was actually signed in
January, 1875, defining the rights of
the two nations principally concern
ed, naming terms of duration and
concession and fixing agreements on
other fundamentals. Shafts were
sunk at this time and bores driven
out under the sea to lengths of 5000
feet or more Then came the clash
between Sir Edward Watkins, active
in construction on the British side,
and Joseph Chamberlain, Home Sec
rotary, and jealous of his authority,
and in 1882 the work on the tunnel
stopped. Wolseley, hero of Alexan-
dria, came back to England and pro-
claimed the Channel plan thing lit
tie short of midsummer madness. He
saw the beginning of Great Britain's
downfall in the undermining of the
gray silver streak around the tight
little island. And the Duke of Cam
bridge solemnly agreed.
The present plan is to build two
tunnels for freight and passenger
transportation under the Channel
They would be perhaps thirty-seven
miles in length. in land approaches
and under the Straits Of Dover.
Electric power is to be used. There
may be as many as 200 trains per
day. 1t is estimated that a pas
senger trafice of 100000 persons
annually will result. The time re-
ouired for building is estimated at
four years, the cost at something like
$SO,OOOOOO.
Gen. Greene not only urges the
Immediate building of the tunnel, but
that America shall build it. French
and English man-power is fully
taken up. In America there are
capable engineers above the draft
age. Labor can be got by selection
from among German prisoners or
from China, India or Spain, The
limited States can furnish the ma
chinery. 1t is a splendid dream OF
America expanding its new Internal,
Sonal energy.

day in her efforts to win q decision is
using lads so young as to cause revui-
sion. Ever is it forgotten that Ger
many today is using in her front lines
men who during the first three years
Of the war were considered absolutely
unfit for the rigors Of the battle.
Always is it forgotten that some day,
and that not far distant, man power
will be a desperate problem for the
kaiser, all the result of that which IS
in the battles below Noyon
and Montdidier.
And when the German armies by
sheer weight of their mighty coneen-
trations gain ground, either swiftly or
slowly, it must be remembered that
the allies are achieving one OF their
chief purposes-the riddling of Teu-
tonic ranks in anticipation of the day
when their own armies become so su-
perior that the great drive, the de-
cisire one, can be begun by the armies
of democracy and the enemy's mill
tary power irreparably crushed.

ropean battlefelds. Germany strikes
at us as at her other foes. Hence, she
approaches us in this way with a def
mite purpose, and a plan she has
thought out. Troop ships and ships
with troop supplies are her aim. She
sends smaller and less important craft
to the bottom as evidence of her vigi-
lance.
The Navy Department is on the alert.
1t is not undertaking the enemy. 1t
is not treating this invasion as di-
version, but as policy which requires
and will continue to require close and
constant study and provisions against.
The U-boats, few or many, have ar
rived. Their number, their construc-
ton, their plans of operation are as
yet Germany's secret. That she ex-
poets profit from the invasion is to be
assumed. That she will employ every
available means to accomplish her pur-
pose is equally assumable.
The main question for the moment
relates to how these U-boats are sup
ported. Be they few or many, they
cannot support themselves. Food and
fuel must be supplied from the out
side, and the source of the supply is
Of paramount Importance to us.

Our Mexican Friends.

The visiting Mexican journalists ex-
press much appreciation Of the atten-
tions being shown them. Cordial re-
ceptions are marking their way; and
they may be sure that the interest
manifested is entirely sincere. They
are, indeed, very welcome.
Years ago, it is pleasant now to re-
call, one of the most prominent, use
full and popular diplomats stationed
in Washington was the Mexican min
lister. Senior Romero served his coun-
try very faithfully at his post, and re-
manned some time.
A little earlier one Of the most
prominent, useful and popular diplo-
mats stationed at Mexico City was the
American minister. John W. Foster,
who subsequently achieved great dis
tinction in the diplomatic world, took
his first lessons in his Mexican post.
He first displayed there the aptitude
for affairs which, in the end, and after
two important assignments in Europe
to SPAN and to Russia-led to the Sec
retaryship of State, and, later, to val
liable treaty-uaking for the govern
ment.
For years the relations between Mex
ico and America were mutually help
full. The one country afforded oppor-
tunities for large money investments,
and the other possessed capital seek
ing investments. Much of Mexieo's de-
velopment for long period was pro-
NOTED by American business activity
and capacity.
The estrangement-for there was an
estrangement-we may all deplore.
Turbulence in Mexico was bound to in
iure American interests. 1t did injure
them deeply. Much American property
was destroyed, and many American
lives were taken. War between the two
countries was imminent several times,
and narrowly averted.
It would be useless to deny that the
situation in Mexico is still somewhat
disquieting in this country. A certain
nervousness still exists, on the border.
Villa in jaii, or snugly tucked away in
his shroud, would improve matters con-
siderably. But that matters are look
ing up we may all believe; and that
representative men of both countries
should join hands to still furtherrim-
prove them is plain duty. Let us all
hope it may be faithfully performed.
Mexican visitors to America, and
American visitors to Mexico again, as
they once did, assist in making and
keeping the feelings of the two peo-
pies warm and friendly toward each
other.

The German U-Boats.

These are questions current in tho
discussion of the U-boat invasion:
How many boats are operating in or
near American waters7 Are they of
usual or special plans What is the
probable length of their stays What
in particular is the object Of the ma
neuver2 How are they supported
by the mother ship arrangement, or by
secret land bases?
Says an old war adjuration: Never
underrate the enemy. Germany un-
derstands war. To use the popular
phrase, she has reduced war to a
science. It is safe to assume that the
present maneuver is not bravado, after
the fashion Of the visit of that sub
marine few years ago on a CONNER
cial errand, or Of the visit later of that
submarine which rose to the top at
Newport, delivered package of let
ters for the German ambassador, and
then, after sinking a few ships out
side the three-mile limit, returned
home. =
At that time America had not en-
tered>the war. Germany. could afford
as diversions maneuvers Of that kind
for the purpose Of impressing us and
her European antagonists with the far
reaching power Of the new weapon she
was employing.

The American Purpose.

Secretary Bakers statement to the
visiting French "Blue Devils" yester-
day that the United States has more
than 100000 men now in France or on
their way there is designed to satisfy
public curiosity in the matter of our
fighting force abroad. It does not dis
close the full strength of the American
Army in the war zone, however, for of
the 100000 doubtless many are Of a
non -combatant character, whereas on
the other hand there is no indication
of the rate at which men are going
from the training grounds in France
into the front lines.
The reassuring feature of the Sec
retary's statement is that this country
is now pouring its men into France in
such numbers as Germany has not be-
isved possible. Dependence upon the
submarines to prevent the transport of
our Army has proved futile. The dis
patch of 100000 men in May is in
itself complete refutation of the Ger
man claims that the United States
could never prove material factor in
the war because Of the U-boats.
In one respect Mr.. Bakers statement
to the French troops is highly signif-
can't "Halv the Huns" is not the
American slogan. That would merely
mean to check the Germanic forces
where they are. Our purpose is to halt
and then drive back the German
armies, until they have been vanquish-
ed and peace can be restored upon the
basis of performance, with Germany
beaten into a position from which she
cannot hereafter menace the world
with militaristic power.
This will be severe task, imposing
upon this country great sacrifices. But
now that we have undertaken it, we
will go through with it. There will be
no faltering, no stopping to reckon the
losses, but steady, increasing, deter
mined push with all the resources of
this vast country, its momentum gain
ing constantly rntil the balance of
man power and reserves has been def
nitely established on the .-de Of the
allies and against Germany.
Speculation on how long the war
will last on this basis of determi-
nation to force Germany to her knees
is idle. No man can tell how much
longer Germany can stand the strain
OF losses and privations. Whether the
victory will come through the smash
ing of the military power in the field
or through the sudden development IF
domestic reaction is also beyond i'm
mediate foresight. Our purpose is
plain, our provisions are ample, our
spirit is unquenchable.
