OUR American soldiers are now right
up on the firing line in France and are
facing the Huns in the sectors where
there is active fighting. They have been
doing particularly good work with their
artillery, and there is no doubt that they
will give good account OF themselves.
Indeed. il is believed that the American
soldiers will introduce an element OF
daring and efficiency that will have a
very important effect on the situation.
In statement issued the first OF the
week Secretary OF War Baker says that
the Allies have preponderance OF men
and guns on the western front and are
awaiting the expected German onslaught
with calmneSs and confidence.
President Wilson has expressed the
belief that the coming summer will bring
decision that will forecastthe end OF the
war, and leaves it TO be inferred that vie
tory will be with the Allies.

THE RIGHT SENTIMENT.

A decidedly interesting development relative to the iynching evil in this country and especially in the south is that which is disclosed by the an- nouncement by the San Antonio Elk press to the effect that the pu uolishers of that paper have set aside a fund If s100.0e0 for the purpose of combat ing the crime of lynching in this country. It is the purpose to main tain the fund for a period of five years and to employ 1t in paying rewards to those who are directly responsible for the arrest with subsequent pun ishmene of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching or in putting through the lynching whether the in- diyidual was 8 Negro or white per son. The reward is twice as large in the case where the victim is a Negro as it is where a white person is in TelTed, for the reason that Negroes ire invariably the ones who are lynch ed and there is greater need for tack 'iEg that pnase of the problem
 There can be no question but what there is need of doing something in the very direction which this news paper has acted. It means that q deeper interest in the maintenance of law and order is going to be aroused It Is in keeping with other rewards which are paid for the running down of criminals and it certainly should result in arousing a deeper concern regarding such matters among the authorities as well as among the gene tel public for one who can legal iy accept a reward is exempted.
 This is certainly most commend able undertaking. That it has beer done shove that there is need for soms action along this very line and i spe1ik be an excellent thing if the samt Eeattment could be found in othel S.Btes than Texas.

That being the case 1t must be ap- preeizted that while much attention has been devnted to the building of coal cars in the past seven months 1t has not met the requirements and that there is opportunity for increased efforts in that direction. While the report is made to the effect the. rail- roads have received i0.est coal cars since the first of January, and have put them into active service. the shortage has not been overcome. This amounts to more than hak of all kinGs of ears delivered to the railroads under gov ernrrent control this year and more than fifth of all produced in the country. We are of course filling large orders for rolling stock in France, the need of which is urgent for the suc- cess of the allied cause vet 1t is per- feetly evident that there cannot be any let up in the building of cars for dcrnesttc needs but that thera should be increased efforts put forward in order to distribute the fuel for ali our great industrial efforts in every dl- rection.

SENATOR eALL.NGER.

Death has been making inrcads in the United States senate within the past year which has resulted in the taking away of several of the long time and well known members. The latest Of these is Senator Jacob H. Gailin- ger Of New Hampshire, who for 27 years has been closely identified with congressional activities. In years of service he was the cIdes3 member of the senate and had been keeniy alive 70 his responsibilities right up to the time of hiss death. so much so that but for the fact that the senate had recessed his end would have unaues- tioHahiy occurred in Washington in stead of at his home.
 Senator Gallinger was a power not only in New Hampshire but in Wash ington. He was 8 member of the old school of politicians who showed from time to time the difficulties which he experienced in graspins changed con- ditions. There were times however when this operated to his credit. as much as it may have been to his dis credit on other occasions. There cap be no question however but what he was sincere in whatever stand he took His motives were always henora bIe He was the ardent packer of much ralua ble legislation which was enact ed into law and the enthusiastic ad- vocate of some. which failed to pass, including the well known ship sub sidy bill which was approved by the senate but killed by the ioS~er house He had always been a strong party man whose loss will be severely felt Tn New Hampshire as well as III the halls of congress where his service brought him into a position of nation al prominence

THE KAlsER's SYMPATHY.

Of course. Emperor Wilhelm deeply sympathizes in the misfortune which aas befailen the open town of Frank fort as the result of an enemy attack which was contrary to the international aw and claimed many victims" as the telegram to the burgoma ster of that .ity declares. That is because it is a German city and German people have felt the effects of the air raids referred to but 1t is no worse for the German people to suffer such Sh at tack than it is for the French or British, and no one knows better than he does how unjustly the same sort of raids have been carried out by Germany against equally open towns of the allies.
 If the emperor was so much op- posed to the violation of international law, as he indicates. he would have taken steps at the very beginning of the German attacks tn check them The fact is that he doesn't give a hcot for international understanding except when the violation of them concerns Germany. Whatever his air men do in that respect is of course for the benefit of the kaiser and any thing done for the kaiser is entirely justified.
 Had the emperor desired to have avoided the very thing which has been inflicted upon his own people he would have proceeded to have made it un- necessary for the allies to resort tc the policy of retaliation for the at- tack upon Frankfort or any other towr has been adopted simply to bring home to the German people the kind of tao ties which the imperial Germany gov. srnrnent has engaged in and continues to encourage Tine sympathy of thu all highest 10 the people of Frank fort at this time is pure camouiage It amounts to less than the regret oi a murderer for his deed.

dure the strain longer but added that she was glad to sacrifice herself if the nation wanted freedom for women gained that way
 It will be of interest to those who wear service stars for soldiers now German prisoners to know that at the midweek conference between Gen. March, chief of staff, U. s. A., and newspaper correspondents. it was en- phatically stated by Gen. March that there was no foundation for the re- ports now being circulated that American prisoners are subjected to unpleasant discrimination and other hardships on account of nationality. He stated that the war department kept in close touch with German pri- son conditions, through the Spanish embassy. which made almost daily in- spections. Representatives of that neutral country drop down unan-
 nounced on German detention camps and prisons and examine the food served to the prisoners and other con ditions. "All fare alike. There is no discrimination" said Gen. March.
 The interview between the Chief of Staff of the great army and the mem bers of the Press gallery, which he ac- cords twice each week is of marked interest. The men gather in one of the big rooms in the War Department the walls of which are lined with war maps on which the Allies lines
 are marked by red ribbon and the enemy by a blue ribbon, with little
 white headed pins marking specific 1 points. Somewhere along the French 1 line little American flag about tive
 inches long futters on a miniaturs staff. No other colors are shown or
 the map But the whereabouts of tho | American troops at the front is showr
 by the little bit of Old Glory The
 men seat themselves facing the wal maps and then the General comes 1T
 and after simple greeting, explains the situation as cables of the day show l it to be, and answered a hailstorm ot questions. Gen. March read cable i from Gen. Pershing in which he refer
 red to the high praise won by the American regiments for their grea bravery and the fine qualities they i have displayed. This referred to botl [ infantry and artillery. At the end O the interview, which lasted twenty mi nutes, the General turned quickly ant
