PRESS COMMENT.
AUSTRIA'S PLIGHT.

The situation in Austria is worse
than that in Germany, for reasons
which do not appear on the lace oi the
figures German industry was oi sort
and in condition to grow under war
demands. The conditions are not stable
or enduring in Germany, but the accounts
do reflect n certain sort of fevcrish pros
perity Austria financed itself, not by
stimulation of production, but by pledge
of property in exchange for currency.
Austrian banks accordingly hold iiliqud
assets, which arc mortgaged for more Than
they will sell for. That is triic even oil the
existing conditions, and is still more true
of the conditions If the currency were to
be valued Mt anything like It's norlihal
worth by currency reform
Accordingly the Austrian banks arc
more concerned in maintaining the bai-
ancc of their accounts IN deprecated
currency than IN putting conditions on a
more solid basis, with the result ot col
lapse in the market price Of their assets.
German banks hold the State securities
which they took more or less willingly,
but the Austrian banks to "A considerable
extent preferred ovcrvalued properties to
deprecated State obligations and cur
rency Their deposits are great. and then
accounts nornlnally balance, but the civil
servants even are pctltioning Tor shoes
clothing, food. soap, and other ncccssaues
without which they told the Emperor
they could not find strength 10 do their
work. These are the reasons why Austria
wants "A democratic" peace, meaning a
peace which will give Austria access to
resources available here IN particular. .~~

A Needed Accommodation.

The intersection of Fourth and Market
streets is a busy centre of the city More
people, in all probability, assemble there
during the day than at any other point,
They come from the west side and the
cast side, from north and south, and
especially from the trolley lines running
south Of this city There they dehark
on their arrival. and there they assemble
TO take cars for tho homcward journey.
Ono thing needed at that intersection
has been provided for a traffic police
supervision But there is another nc
ccssity-a public comfort station.
Such a public convenience should he
provided by the City Council The
cost would not be great but tho accommo-
dation would be enormous L would
he a great benefit TO hundreds of persons
every day.
Such a station could he constructed.
and maintained al a reasonable expense
compared with general conditions At this
time. At any rate il j. necessity,
regardless Of the cost The City Council
should give consideration 70 this matter.

that only recently increased their price
is altogether probable.
Ii is not in accord with sound policy
to deliberately conduct any department
OF a business at loss, but many news
papers of this country were dong tins,
in respect of circulation, for several years
The radI=A increase in the cost OF print
paper, tho ABuease in postal rates, the
incrc: in transportation rates, and
numerous other items, all tended to make
the daily circulation OF one-cent news
paper a burden of loss The publishers
finally decided they could no longer
endure this situation, and so they decided
TO increase from one cent to two cents
| the copy. The increase is radical, pro-
portionatcly considered 100 per cent
but IL is small in actual extent. In aii
instances, the patrons of the papers stood
the raise with cheerful cquanimity,
because they appreciated the situation,
and also realized that even at two cents
copy they were getting the fuli worth
of their money when they purchased a
good daily newspaper, morning or alter
noon.
And this is the reason why so many
newspapers, recently, have advanced
in price from ono cent to two cents pei

THERE'S A LETTER
FROM YOUR MOTHER

(An incident of the signal corps related to
US
He was on the line IN Flanders, dong
service with flag.
He was telephone and wireless with that
little bit Of rag.
At the farthest point from safety he was
standing mt his post,
Picking up the information that hls cap
tain needed most,
When flash behind the trenches caught
his ever-watchful eye
And he stood and read the message that
was dancing through the sky.
He wondered what was coming from his
fellow signal man,
Wondered what would be the ofdef, as
the lettering began.
He had done his trick OF duty, nc had
been there through the day,
He was tired and he was hungry, and he
wished to gel away,
But he read the rapid waving; twas the
news he'd wanted most
There s letter from your mother waiting
for YOU at the post
Over miles of dreary trenches, over
friendly gun and foe
Came each cheerful, flashing letter OF the
news he wished to know.
Through the heat and hate oi battle and
the smolc-filled atmosphere
Came this little touch of kindness and
this simple note Of cheer.
Not stern command Of duty, but n
word of which to boast

DIVIDENDS OF FRIENDSHIP.

When Cuba made her declaration
of war against Germany one day after
our own, she did ~ aS an expression Of
her close friendship for the United States.
There have been many other expressions
OF that-fricndshIp since. of which the lat
est is her proposal to build steel freight
crs for our merchant marine. And,
month after month and year after year,
that friendship IS vocal in the cold,
statistical pages which record foreign
trade
The trade between Cuba and the
uucd states last year amounted to
$3.50 600 600 Granting that scarcity
oi transatlantic shipping made Cuba
more dependent on our markets, and
that the high level Of prices gave every
shipment a money value greater than IN
previous years, that figure Is none the less
astounding
The total imports and exports OF all
Germany ; colonies. built up With in-
finite pains, amounted to much less than
100000 900 IN any year before the war.
The normal yearly trade between Great
Britain and India the level OF empire,
is only about $3.50, 100000 Even China,
for whose markets all the nations of the
world are competing, rarely has exports
and imports of more than 5000, 900, 600
Terrible and costly wars have been
waged for colonies and spheres Of IN
fuence because nations believed that
trade followed the flag The American
idea was that trade followed liberty, fail
dealing and friendship. Twenty yearS
ago our troops went INTO Cuba TO give her
liberty When she was free and inde
pendent, We hauled down our flag and
went awav From the beginning We re
nounced thought OF making Cuba oul
