ABSURD PEACE TALK.

Nothing could be more dangerous to the success of America and her AL lies than the popular belief which is fast worming it's way into the Amer ican mind that the war will be over by Christmas. Of course this is possibility, but it is a most absurd deduction, nevertheless, and should be given a moments consideration.
 Frequently soldiers who are unin- formed on the general military situa- tion write that they will eat their Christmas dinners at the family fes- tive board. But the leaders, the men who know, declare that a hard fight is still ahead and that the spirit of the German forces, while slightly damDened by recent reverses, is still far from discouro cement Indeed. the cable dispatches from the battle fronts indicate that the enemy is making stiff resistance at most points even though he be retiring.

Rising Railroad MnocS.

(New York Journal of Commerce)
 Should wages continue to rise in railroad employ. the natural conse- quence would be a still further in- crease of fares and freights. n0twith- standing that these have already reached record figures. Tho general public engaged in private occupatlons would, in other words, be asked to foot the bill resulting from the pol icy of maintaining the pre-war status of labor. A c0rollary to the an- nounced Government policy would thus be that the public at large must bear the expense of maintaioiny the standard of living required by labor and naturally will do so by reducing it's own standard of liVirg.,

necessary. Children do not seem to be effected by the prevalent affiction in the degree that adults have been, and then there is the considrati0n that if the schools are shut down, young people will mingle at play without any supervision and thus be as prone to the disease as they would be in the schoolroom. However, we prefer to abide by the judgment of the school board members for the present, which we trust may be vindi- cated by the turn of events.
 There should be, however, some control exercised over the holding of unnecessary meetings, and it may even become necessary to close the theaters for a few days. While this would mean a financial loss to the arrangements, we are sure that they are public-spirited enough to CO., operate cheerfuIly with the health authorities should the contingency arise. The various theater owners have the interests of their patrons at heart and if the epidemic does not show signs of ahating within few days, it would not be surprising to see these gencltmen voluntarily close their houses temporarily. Logically, their receipts would be more if the theaters were closed for only a few days than if a general spread of the disease should make it necessary to order a longer cessation of business.
 Again, there are society meetings, dances, entertainments and the like which could. be postponed with The principal thing is. for us to real ize the danger that confronts us, and to take steps to meet it before it be- comes acute.
 We believe there are many more cases of sickness than have been re- ported to the authorities. The drug gists are overworked. At one apothe- cary shop over two hundred pre- scriptions were compounded in single day this week. The doctors have had scarcely a moments rest since the disease took hold here. Some of them, although i'll them selves, have been compelled to make as many as fifty calls a day and to abandon their offices practically all the time.
 The situation must be viewed calm ly without nystelia, and we must be ready to sacrifice personal interests to the public welfare
 As we write these lines. the wire flashes a despatch from Washington containing the following opinion on the subject from Surgeon-Gen Blue, of the public health service:
 The only way to stop the
 spread of Spanish influenza is to
 close churches, schools, theaters
 and public institutions in every
 community where the epidemic
 has developed.
 An official warning of this nature cannot be disregarded. No more need be said.

Construction of Barrage Against

THE people of the. United States"
said Assistant secretary.Roosevelt of
the Navy Department, who has just
returned from a visit to France and
England, seem. to have an imperfect
idea Of United States naval activities
abroad.
THE tendency is to think merely of
the conveying and patrol work our de-
stroyers and other vessels are doing
and the presence of our battle ships
with the British feet. But important
as that is it is only a part of our &C.
tivities and there are dozens Of other
things of Importance Of which little
has been said" =
Other notable performances en-.
phasized by Mr.. Roosevelt were the
construction of the North sea mine
barrage against submarines. laying Of
an oil pipe line across Scotland, es-
Enlistment of naval aviation stations
from the Spanish border to the Eng
1ish channel and the construction of
naval hospitals.
Conditions have vastly improved
from what they were last year" said
the assistant secretary, in referring
to the submarine menace. But we
cannot afford to let up in our activi-
ties for one single second.
"In regard to the respect which u
boats have shown for international
law, you have but to ask any officer or
man in our own or in the British or
and prove to you. great numbers OF
actual cases where the Hun has vio-
lated every rule and every principle
