According to information which has come into the possession of the Pfovi : dsnee Journal that paper. indicates that there Is something in llls resisna- ton outside of the desire of Secretary A;cAdeo to get back to public life for q rest and t5 rebuild his private fortune, and 1t attributes it to hs disappfoval Of the policy of govern ment ownership which appears to be taking shape in Washington, the cli- max of which came with the taking ever of the cable lines.
 Secretary McAdoo is dsslafed to be strong opponent of Government ownership. whether it concerns the railroads of which he is the directing head under the present federal con- tfoi, or the telegraph, telephone and cable lines. and that he is unwilling to risk his reputation by femaif1ina in office while things of which he does not approve are being carried on. Ii the secretary of the treasury is unal- 1 terably opposed to government owner | ship of such utilities there car be lit | tie question but what he has had op- l portunity in cabinet meetings to show his attitude. and 1t is likewise evident I if he has manifested his llshpprova it does not appear to have had any sppreciable effect, for from the prog ress of events the tide aphears to bt running strong against hin. ana as claimed. some. other cabinet members
 Naturally the secretary would mol care to make any anheuncement al this time which would seriously er1 bdrfass the adftiniFtfation, but if h, could not tolerate the trend of eventi il would be quite natural for him tt remove any embarrassment whiel might be caused by remaining as { cabinet member.

out interfering with, the ccnssruction of steel ships and inasmuch as sue h vessels could be made to replace steel vessels engaged in the coastwise trade it could not be. regarded otherwise tiian sensible move to build them. Z
 That they have not proved as great a success as the steel ships will cause rio great surprise as 1t was realized from the start that they wefe an emergency product. but one of the bits of evidence that they have not is furnished by the refusal of Australian shippers to send grain in them be- cause of the large percentage which detefiorAtes because they are moi tight. This Is likely to mean that they will have to be employed in diff fcrerit service and possibly be con verted into sailing vessels, SO that it is quite proper there should be a de- niand for a cutting of of the con tracts for such vessels, especially when they are to be built for the gov erhmsnt and many already contracted for have not been started. There is apparently going to De plenty of use for sailing vessels but the situation is such that the government shipbuild ing should be confined to the steei vessels. The situation has changed relative to wooden ships even as il has regarding other war contracts.

NOT INCLINED TO LENlENcY.

The appeal which was made by the women of Germany to the women of this country to give them assistance and to make the conditions of the fu- tUre as toiersble as possible was like wise sent 10 the women Of other coun- tries which had been engaged in ac- tive warfare with Germany.
 Germany is likely 70 be treated as Christian and civilized nations should treat it regardless of the appeals. but there appears to be no good req . sens why 1t should expect to escape the penalty for which it has been Leading for the past four years.
 The idea that it can arouse a large nart of the people of the entente countries to start a campaign for Tightening the terms of the armistice E out of the question as it must have known. although Germany was unwilling to let the chance go by for applying for such help without dolna it's utmost to arouse sympathy.
 ft IS a pointed reply which has been made by Madame Jules Sigfried, pres- ideHt of the National Council of French Women, when she declares ''No! We win not intercede with oul s0vernment to mitigate the conditions Of. the armistice which are only toe Justified by the manner in which Ger many has wased war" and she takes occasion to point out that "the Ger. man women. believing that victofJ vas certain. remained silent at the crimes of their government, their arm, and their navy"
 No one calls attention to the endeavor. which were made from within Ger many to prevent the continuance O such acts as the sinking of the Lusi tania. the murder of defenseless wo men and children and the deportation uf women and girls, and certainly the, cannot expect that any intercessiof will be made for such people oths than what could be expected from na tions which uphold interna tional lay and believe in the exaction of justice

further use in manufacturing import ed in the nine months ending with
 September 1918, are stated at $4T1,t
 900 0e0, aga inst $21S DOC 900 in the cor
 responding months of 1914. Thus the stated value of all material imported for manufacturing in the nine menths ending with September, 1918, is S1 415,000 0ets against S76p 900 0e0 in the
 same months of 1914. having thus doubled in value during the war period.
 Whether this increase in the value of manufacturing material imported l really represents increase in quantity of material imported IS q problem which the manufacturers of the United 1 States are now desiring to solve. l This cannot be determined with ex- l tren1e accuracy owing to the very large number of articles forming the list of natria1s imported for fnahufaetdfins, and especially as these are stated in 1 great variety of units or weights ot l Tnea surennehts. It is apparent how ever from q compilation just made
 by The National City Bank of New York that in many of the more ifn- portant articles used in fflanufaotuf- i ing, the prices at which they are now | being imported are double, CT more 1 than double those existing al the be- ginning Of the war This compilation l shows for example, that the. average 1 price Of raw cotton imported in the month of August 1918 the elatest period for which figures are available was 47 cents per pound against 11.4 cents per pound in the same period in 1914, and that the ss 00A,0o0 lbs, oi cotton imported in the eight months irr ct = 000,60o while the 122,006 GOO pounds imported in the same months of 1s14 cost only S1s0o0 GOO. Thus the Ss,- 900 900 pounds. imported in 1913 cost nearly double that of the Il 000,00
 pounds imported in 1914.
 Sisa1, which is becoming a more and more important article of our in dustries, and comes from our nex
 door neighbor Mexico, shows fol
 August 1918, an average import prfet
 of $399 per ton in August 1914. Tht
 SS.600 tons of sisal imported in tht
 eight months ending with August | 1918. cost s33 100000 while the 15e
 900 tons imported in the eight month
