WHAT NEXT:

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 The land tanks of England have quickly undergone the strange evoiu- tions which we usually associate with nature. The slow processes by which during intermnable ages the things which crawl, fly or swim adapt them selves to change, have by the aid or ingenious man quickly entered into such inanimate materials as steel and iron The spawn of the tank has pro- duced new and queer shapes. Recently we read of the "flying tank" which. 1t is claimed came out of Germany supposedly to terrorize the defenders of freedom Today we read of the "sea tank" born on the shores of an cient Italy, an amphibious monster which wsllows through the deep and hips with giant pincers the barriers which protect the fleets of the enemy.
 It was only year or two ago that men who believed themselves wise set 1t down that the limits of human in- genuity in war inventions had been reached. But there seems to be noth- ing sure in this age of monstrous and unbelievable creations of the human , mind Fiction has been so often out done and made sickly by comparison with fact, that to predict has become the pastimc of fools,

Italy's Victory

"1taly's defeat of Austria means more than merely raising the morale of the al lies and lowering that of the enemy, said Henry Clews of New York. By driving the Austrians back across the Piave, the chance of Austro-German domination of the plains of northern Italy almost disappears, This section of the country is the great industrial portion of Italy. Two-thirds of that country s horse power and industrial population are tin this region, the domination of which by the enemy would greatly imperil the future of Italy, both during and after the war
 Had the enemy forces been success ful Italy would have been more depend- ent upon the allies for food and ship ping than ever, thus agravating the scarcity against which France and Britain are now contending Italy has not only retrieved the disaster of last October. which hastened unity of the all lies but the blow thus administered may materially aid in forcing Austria out of the war;

'. E ]. New York Puts Ban On Soap-Box Orators

ID Y ridding New York of soap lO box orators Mayor Hylan won the plaudits even of his political enc mics
 Before America got into the war against Germany crank could mount a soap-box, an automobile or the tail end of cart and say almost anything he wanted to, because freedom of speech was ingrained with us and we knew it was not incumbent on us to listen, if we did not feel so disposed.
 As our largest center of population, New York was naturally headquarters for the soap-box orators, with Chicago close second. During the first years of the war they flourished like the green bay tree and even after Amer ica had cast in her lot with the allies to battle for democracy, the loud mouthed, long-haired, unwashed ora tors of the street were numerous and vociferous The newly enacted laws against seditious utterances and espionage caused some of them to draw in their horns, but speech-mak- ing is a habit that dies hard, and at corsiderable risk the soap-box orators su,l lived.
 Aayor Hylan has suppressed them infNew York. They should be taken 1T hand everywhere else. They have done an incalculable amount of harm among idlers and half baked people the sort who have nothing better to do than to stop and listen to an anarchist delivering an harangue. We may still have freedom of speech, but there is a great difference between liberty and license, in words as well as deeds.

x x < Farms for Soldiers After the War Is Over

TIT HE timely discussion of Secretary G of the Interior Franklin K. Lane concerning provision that the government should make for Ameri- can soldiers returning from Europe after the war, ought to receive the prompt and favorable attention of Congress.
 Mir Lanes suggestions were em- bodied in a letter to the President, and included the utilization of large areas of arid land in the northwest that could be made highly productive by irrigation, and great stretches of cut-over land in various sections, mainly in the south.
 As most of the available land is held under private ownership some s.r- engagement would have to be made for the government to acquire the title by purchase and sell off farms to the war veterans for low price and on easy terms of payment.
 Secretary Lane, in his letter, pre- sented mass of valuable informa- tion and outlined a practical plan for proceeding, namely, for Congress to make an appropriation sufficient to meet the cost of a comprehensive sur vey of conditions regarding idle lands and ascertain the best terms upon which the government might purchase them.
 If Congress waits until the war is ended it will be too late to make preparations for looking out for the interests of the men who did the 1 fighting. Now is the time to begin the survey.

sf T Fourth of July to Be Well Spent

1E1 EVERYBODY will celebrate the A Fourth of July. In Alabama it will be variously observed but there will be an all-pervading patriotism with note from the reaches of the soul
 In other years, while Independence Day had a patriotic ring, the festive features usually predominated. It will be different in this weeks celebration.
 Thousands of wage-earners in the Birmingham district will give a demonstration of their patriotism by working on the Fourth in order to speed up war demands. Many work men will contribute all or part of their wages to the Red Cross or other ap- pealing causes, or invest the money in War Savings Stamps.
 In the rural districts programmes will be arranged in keeping with the wartime spirit, Even those citizens who elect to work on the Fourth should participate in an evening meet ing where short but stirring ad- dresses will be made, the flag saluted and the national anthem sung.
 We cannot have too much "win-tha- war" oratory. But whatever is done in observance of the great holiday will be done soberly and with feeling that will make lasting impression on our American manhood and womanhood Let's make 1t the most memorable of Iall Fourths.
