THE PRICE OF DEMAGoGUERY.

Events of the last few weeks have prov
en- very clearly that the breakdown Of
Russia cost the Allies certain victory this
year.
Germany has hurled all her forces at
the western front in desperate attempt
to gain decision and has failed.
Austria has hurled all her men at the
Italian and has failed ANONYMOUSLY.
What would have been the result if
Russia with an army Of several million
men had been fighting on the eastern
front.
If the Allies alone are able to hold and
defeat the entire German forces, what
could they have done if Germany had been
deprived of a million or more effectives?
If Italy alone is able to defeat the en-
tire Austrian forces, what could the Ital-
ians have done if Austria had been COM
PEELED to use a million men to hold back
the Russians and Rumanians?
Had Russia been kept in the war an
other year, the Allies would now be at the
Rhine.at least, and the Italians might have
reached Vienna.
Because few agitators were able to de-
lude the great Russian nation with the
false hope Of an immediate peace, the war
has been prolonged many months and
hundreds Of thousands of lives have been
sacrificed.
That is the price Of demagoguery in
Europe.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum
The Chicago Tribune:

The French are making elaborate preparations
to celebrate the coming Fourth Of July. In call
ing upon all Frenchmen to join in the celebration,
O. member Of the chamber Of deputies writes that
the Fourth lis much French holiday as Am
erican 1t is a world holiday" And he suggests
that in all the schools the teachers should ex-
plain the meaning Of the celebration ana the
reasons why France and America should Temaln
united forever"
Less than two weeks later Americans will nave
the opportunity to give reciprocal expression or
friendship for France. The French national
holiday occurs July II and will be celebrated
the following day, Monday, July IS.
To reverse the words Of the French man, the
celebration should be much an American holi-
allied with the republic Of France, but because
it commentaries the beginning Of the greatest
movement for democracy in Europe. The spirit
of that movement spread into Germany where
1t was crushed with iron hand, but 1t gave
an immense impetus to the Of freedom in
other European nations.
Our own democracy with French aid, had only
recently been established. Our country was new
and comparatively weak; it was prize that was
sure to tantalize the eye Of greedy autocTacy: II
1t had not been for the French revolution it is
not unlikely that sooner or later some hereditary
monarch Of Europe would have sought to add the
United States to his dominion.
In celebrating the Fourteenth Of July we shall
pay a tribute to the cause Of world democracy,
the cause for which are fighting today. Ar
rangements are being made for observance Of the
holiday throughout the United States. Here in
Chicago should not let the occasion pass with
merely formal or casual recognition Of it's sig
nifiCance Let show the fervOr of our patrl-
otism by celebrating the Independence day Of
France in the spirit is which we celebrate
own independence day.

AN AUDIT IS THE FIRST STEP.

Increased prices for gas and electric
light came as a very unwelcome surprise
for Fargo customers of the Union Light,
Heat & Power company.
The increases are not political ques-
tion-they are a bookkeeping question
only.
There is just one test to apply to them
and that is: care they justified by the
increased cost of manufacture
This should not be difficult to deter
mine. The company claims, for example,
that it uses 10000 tons Of coal, and that
the price of it's coal has been increased an
average of SO per ton by the new coal price
and the higher freight rates. That means
$4,000 year additional cost on the coal
item alone. Maybe those figures justify
an increase and maybe they do not. The
Forum wants to be fair to the Union Light,
Heat & Power company, but it is even
more eager to be fair to the consumers Of
Fargo.
It is impossible to discuss the increased
rates without correct figures. The Forum
would suggest that the city commission
Immediately ask permission to examine
the company's books for the purpose Of
ascertaining if the increase is justified.
If this permission is not granted or if
on investigation, it is believed that the in
crease is not justified a petition should be
filed at once with the state railroad and
warehouse commission for hearing on
the new rates.
There is no need to drag either Presi-
dent Wilson's speeches or municipal own
ership discussion into the incident yet. It
isn't a question of either politics or pa
triotism. It is matter of everyday ac-
counting and fair play to both company
and consumer and we can't have fair play
until we know the facts.

HOW TO REACH PROFITEERs.

The report Of the Federal Trade COM
mission made to the United States senate
opens the way for congress to proceed
with it's tax on war profits.
President Wilson told congress that
certain profiteers were well known to the
government, and that it had been found
impossible to reach them through moral
suasion or patriotic appeal.
The senate called on the treasury de-
partment for any information it had re-
garding profiteers and the report of the
Federal Trade commission published in
The Forum Saturday, was the answer.
Congress is now considering new reve-
nue. act, and this revenue act should be so
constructed that it will search out the war
profits Ordinary normal profits should
bear uniform and just rate. Profits are
necessary if business is to continue, and
business must continue at greatly in
creased speed if the war is to be won. But
ordinary business profits should be care
fully distinguished from war profits. A
tax up to so per cent on war profits is not
too high, provided it is confined to war
profits. All excess profits are not war
profits Provision must be made for the
extra hazard and sudden expansion needed
in many lines. Capital cannot be found for
extraordinary expansion unless it is as
sured a profit. Wartime enterprises are
hazardous and may be Of brief duration
In drafting the new revenue law, the
aim should be that no man should make
any profit out of the war over and above
what he would have made in times Of
peace, and that all peace profits should
bear an equitable tax graduated according
to their size That would be the ideal
which probably is impossible of attain
ment, but congress should try to come as
near to it as is possible for mere human
beings.

Began Flying at 16.
Lieutenant Fonck began flying year and
half before the war, at the mature age Of Is.
When the began he was able to start as a
pilot observer, although he did not become a
chaser until 1916 He brought down his first
enemy airplane August 6, 1915, since having &C
counted for fonty-one other planes, reckoning
only those credited under the strict standard
followed by the French.
His wonderful success and skill are counted
not only by the number Of machines he has
smashed, but by the still more extraordinary fact
that his own machine never has been hit by
bullet. vi
That means that besides the cIeverness with
which he maneuvers to get at the man he is
attacking he has a positive genius for deciding
when to strike and when not to strike, using
battles of flying to choose the right moment for
assaning his quarry or retiring.
A Remarkable Mari<sman.
He is wonderful shot, and in his last affair
he made six direct hits out of fifty shots.

good deal with the British, for whom he has

tions in addition to the Crox de Guerre and the
Cross Of the Legion of Honor. He is described as

GERMAN FINANCES.

s. German financiers are in the position of
bank cashier, who has embezzled far
more than he can ever pay out of his earn
ings, and who continues stealing more and
more hoping to recoup his losses.
Germany has piled up a total indebted
ness of more than so billions Of dollars,
including national and state debts, and has
flooded Central Europe with more than
Is billions of paper money which cannot
be redeemed.
Nearly five billions yearly will be needed
to pay the interest on Germany's obliga-
tons.
Her present tax levies from all sources
are insufficient by hundreds Of millions of
marks to pay even the interest on her
present Indebtedness.
The whole German plan Of financing the
war has been based on indemnities. Ger
many planned to pay the cost Of her great
war by levying on conquered nations.
The gambler who steals to play the
market, never expects to make good his
shortage from his own earnings. He keeps
hoping for the big killing. When the
killing" doesn't come, the reckoning
does.
Germany's change for killing is be-
coming more and more remote every day

oyster Fishing by Submarine.

Mr.. Simon Lake, the father of the
modern submarine, has suggested the
use Of the submarine for polar explora-
ton, for ferrying supplies across ice
bound rivers, for seeking sunken treas
ure, and for dredging oysters.
Experiments have demonstrated to
Mr.. Lakes satisfaction that when the
submarine is at the bottom of the
ocean, the oysters can be sucked up
into it on the vacuum cleaner prin-
ciple. When traversing good ground,
the submarine will suck up 5000 BUSH
els of oysters in an hour. This means
that in one hour a mass of oysters
will be collected which, If compactly
piled, would require cylinder one and
three-quarters mile long to hold it.
The idea should be particularly useful
to the pearl-oyster fishers, as of Cey-
Ion, for instance.
