SHlPBUlLDlNG IN UNITED STATES

If the total of 1.s11,ooo deadweisht tons Of new
shipping thus far built this year falls somewhat short
of anticipation, it is nevertheless a good record. and the
case is considerably better than would appear from the
ships actually completed and delivered. The inability
to keep up equipment to the pace set in the fabrication
Of new hulls, which began to appear in July, has evil
IDENTIFY increased. for the launchings of the year now
come to 2,50s,O00 tons, while keels have been laid for
over 100000 tons. While these unfinished ships give
us no present relief, they suggest that before long, and
possibly before the end Of tho year. there may be a graft
tying squirt in the completion Of vessels already launched.
It is clear that the total of 1000. 900 deadweight tons
which was rather too enthusiastically set as the mark for
1918 will not be realized, but the work is running well
ahead Of what seemed. probable in the spring. For
the first five months Of the year the average monthly
output was but $4,000 tons. as against over $50. 900
since then. II the present rate is maintained, the total
for the year will be nearly 100000 tons, and it is not
unlikely to run well over that fisure-srr!ngfie.d. Mass,

The conclusions Of the writer are presented in the
closing paragraphs as follows:
mo ono can foresee with certainty the future Of the
league movement in the United States. The war has
brought to the farmer a period OF prosperous prices.
The war has also cast some shadow Of suspicion on the
patriotism Of the leaders of the league. In the June
primaries the Minnesota voters overwhelmingly defeated
voters gave the league only a partial victory. The zoo
operative store movement walks on the edge Of the
abyss Of failure. The bankruptcy proceedings Of the or
ganizer and president Of the league is bound to tarnish
his name among thousands Of his soberer followers. The
yoking up Of an economic movement with a political
party is likely to do in this instance what 1t has done
in the past-wreck the movement. Since the passing Of
Feed D wheat the league lacks any central unifying prin-
ciple. The huge funds collected by the league-and thus
far unaccounted for-together with ito political power,
will inevitably bring to it new adherents who are merely
seeking the loaves and fishes. 1t is therefore likely to
go the way Of the Farmers Alliance.
80 far as the leagues past is concerned, to the ex-
tent that it is better to have the farmer awake than
movement has been a social benefit. To the extent that
the movement has kindled class hatred. blind suspicion
of commercial honor, prejudice against all so-called big
business and unreasoned animosity towards all middle
men, to the extent that 1t has promoted demogoguery
and insincere leadership, and has set back the cause Of
self-help among the farmers. to that extent 1t has hurt
the country q. . a. @ .

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND

In the death of Archbishop Ireland there has been
removed from the scene of his earthly activities a great
churchman. a great American. and a great man. John
Ireland was all Of these. He was born to be a leader
of men, and during his long life his influence was a
power for good in the church Of which he was so long
an honored prelate. in the nation of which he was such
a worthy citizen, and in the lives Of the thousands of men
and women whom he cheered and inspired.
Archbishop Ireland was. distinctively a statesman.
His was a mind that grasped human affairs in their
larger aspects, and to which the great work of social
service made a powerful appeal. Chosen to a position
Of leadership in a religious body noted the world over
for its conservatism, he was broad and liberal In his ap-
plication of its doctrines, and. with a spirit ever youth
full, he Kept pace with the march Of events. and both
welcomed and aided in the work Of progress. No man
was more worthy Of the honors which came to him,
and Of the respect and affection in which he was held
than Archbishop ireland.

H VITAL FRONT

Where is the vital front in this war, and where is
the ultimate decision to be rendered.? Hindenburg is
credited with the belief that the Russian front was the
allimportant one, and that it was there that a German
victory must be won. But Russia was eliminated from
the contest, and there is no prospect that she will re-
turn as a great power. Yet the war goes, on, and the
German legions that were withdrawn from the east are
being pushed back, and moved down, and taken pris-
oner by the advancing tide Of Allied strength.
In the eastern newspapers letters frequently ap-
pear urging that the major effort of the Allies be put
forth on this or that front in order to reach the deci-
sion that is sought; And in these communications con-
sideration is asked for each one Of the fronts where bat
ties are being fought. There are advocates Of the Rus
sian, the italian, the Macedonian and the Mesopotamian
fronts, each setting forth the claims of the locality of
which he writes. and explaining why a victory there
will settle the business once for all. An inspection of
the names attached to these various letters dscloses the
fact that the importance Of the Russian front is set
forth by a Russian, of the Italian by an Italian, of each
front by a native of that locality, and it appears that a
curious. though not unnatural rivalry has sprung up
among residents of various sections. each anxious that
the country with which he is familiar be recognized as
the keynote of the arch of military strategy.
With those who have no local preferences in the
matter. and who are as familiar. or as unfamiliar, with
one locality as with another. the conviction persists
that. after all. it is on the west front that the decisive
battles are to be fought. and that there will the great
decision be rendered. That the movements on each
Of the other fronts are Of great Importance is undoubted.
The enemy must be hacked and harried. front and rear.
But. however. much successes on other fronts may con-
tribute to the result, Germany must be whipped by the
crushing of her great armies. and those armies are TO
be found ON the west front

Experience has taught us that in in
terviewng celebrities, with one ac
cord the world and his wife wishes to
know only what actors and actresses
look like and only what playwrights
think. Therefore we much prefer in
terviewing the play actors, because it
is easier to find out how people look
than to find out what they think and
it is far easier to gwrite about ones
physiognomy than ones psychology
And, lately, we have fallen into evil
ways and have been choosing the line
of least resistance. All the recipients
of our attentions have been beautiful
leading persons of great fame whose
attributes just naturally found their
way into print
SO we determined to mortify the
and all that sort of thing and go next
time and lind out what playwright
thinks. And then we did 90 and we
! found out that what a playwright
, thinks can, if presented in the proper
manner interest even a person of
small attainments quite as much as
what an actor looks like.
