cause OF the consciousness that food
would be more plentiful if only bit
of that democracy which we are fight
ing to fasten on the world would set
tie itself down on these realms. The
matter is covered in the Catholic
Times. Quoting the London Daily
News, the Times says:
When Bernadotte became king of
Norway and Sweden in 1914, 80 noble
men owned agricultural Norway and
1900 gentlemen owned Sweden, with
10000 tenants in the two countries cul-
tivating 100000 acres. BY the year
1910 the peasantry of Norway and
Sweden had purchased 100000
acres, and the area under tillage had
risen to 100000 acres, that is, nearly
quadrupled. In 1900 Denmark be-
longed to GA noblemen. In 1903 a law
was passed compelling them to sell
their lands to their tenants at Sc an
acre, and by 1910 the tenants had
bought UP half the kingdom. In 1918
the valuation of the agricultural land
of Denmark amounted to G15,00O,O0O
only, but in 1886 it had risen to G2O5,-
100000, or IA times as much. Prussia,
under the Stein law, completely
changed her internal condition. Pre-
vious to that law the land was in the
possession of 10000 landowners,
whereas at present the number ap.
proaches two millions The land was
not confiscated the landowners were
allowed to retain one-half of their es-
tates, while the other half went to
the tenants. The landowners received
Prussian Consols equivalent to 1S
years purchase of the rent of the
land"
Continuing on it's own accord, the
Catholic Times says:
when will any attempt be made to
change our absurd and antiquated
land laws? Here we are in the fourth
year of the greatest war in history
and the question of providing food for
the masses of the British people is
growing daily more troublesome. The
vast bulk of our food has to be borne
to us by sea. And shipping is short
And enemy submarines are not short
Our ports are infested. with these
sharks, so destructive of our COM
merce. Everybody, except Mr.. Lloyd
George, is seriously troubled over the
submarine menace. But not every
body troubles himself about the ques-
ton why the land of this country has
been allowed to lie so unproductive, or
why our rulers have permitted us, as
a nation, to become so dependent on
supplies of sea-borne food. Why was
not the soil Of Great Britain cultivat-
ed? Great estates, had they been
broken up, as they should have been
long ago, and turned over to cultiva-
ton, would have been made by now
productive of food for the people, not
perhaps fully sufficient, but enough to
render us more Indifferent to the raw
ages on our commerce committed by
the German submarines. Here again
we pay the penalty of having handed
over our government to the political
parties, who, however much they
seemed to differ, always managed to
agree to protect the land system. Only
a change of politics which will bring
poor men into power will avail to
break down the evil of the system of
territorial wealth which keeps the land
for pleasure and locks it up against
use."

Submarine Stupidity.

German frightfulness is mixeea with
German stupidity in. the. latest subma-
rine outrage eff the American coast. If
there is any advantage in the sinking
by sshellire of a tug and forr barges,
one of the latter laden with stone, it
Is not apparent to the American mind.
Three torpedees and an unknown num-
ber of-shells were used to accomplish
this result. The cost Of the torpedoes
aione is estimated at e45,o0o. Pos
sibly the whole affak REPRESENTED an
expenditure of $4,000. The loss Of
American property is about $3.50, 900, or
roughly, four times the cost. But that
docs not include the cost of sending
the U-boat here and maintaining it.
As demonstration Of German terror
ism it may have been rated as a sue
cess. But how lamentably it fails as
a deterrentl The attitude Of the
cleven-year-o1d lad who waved an
American flag at the rail Of one of the
barges in defiance Of the submarine
bespeaks the effect Of the shameless as
sault upon unimportant and unarmed
barges upon the people of this coun-
try. It is always thus with the Ger
man military mind. 1t cannot con-
cetye anything but its own point Of
view. It has defeated itself sby its
abysmal inability to comprehend the
spirit of the attacked.

Ludendorft and Hindsnburg.

Gen. Ludendorff, it is reported, has
been given the title Of chief Of the
general staff Of. the German army, .
title which heretofore has been borne
by Gen. Hindenburg. Does this mean
that Hindenburg Is deads Or has he
merely been dropped for some reason
which is not apparents It does not mat
ter particularly, save a. regards the
future. If Hindenburg is dead or per.
manently shelved Germany loses the
services of master nailitarist. He was,
or is, veritable genius. There is NO
belittling Hindenburg's ability or his
achievements. II the present series Of
German offensives in the west are the
work of Ludendorf they indicate .
lessening Of the German capacity for
management, and the passing Of the
former chief Of command may be
rated as one of the severest losses Ger
many has suffered. Ludendorff may
have been great quartermastsr gen.
eral, but he is evidently, judging from
his recent works, by no means the
strategist that Germauy's desperately
difficult position requires.

"A Week of German Failure.

One week ago this morning Germany
began her fifth offensive Of 1918, CEN
tering on Rheims. It was proclaimed
as a peace drive. Today the German
forces have been hurled back almost
to their original positions at all points
covered by the advance and have at
the same time lost large area to the
west Of their initial situation. They
have lost enormously in men and guns.
Territorially they are worse off than
they were when the "peace drive"
started; numerically they are danger
ously weakened. Furthermore, the ini-
tiative has for the present passed from
them to the allies. Morally they have
suffered severe defeat that cannot
fail to have q bad reaction in Ger
many. Taken altogether, it has been
most unsatisfactory week from a
German point of view.
Every element in the weeks develop
ments has been encouraging to the al
lies. In the first place Gen. Foch
proved his ability to outguess the en-
emy by being prepared for his advance
in the very sector chosen for the Of
fensive. Again, he was able to hold
his lines practically intact, yielding
only slightly under the impetus Of the
first blows, without calling upon his
reserves. Finally he demonstrated the
possession Of sufficient reserve force in
the immediate neighborhood Of the Sec
tor of attack available for and capable
of a successful counter offensive. The
significance Of this is that in at least
the center of the grand battle line in
western Europe the balance of man
power has passed from the German to
the allied side, and that in consequence
ofsthe American reinforcements the al
lied commander-in-ehief is able
through resources and mobility not
only to protect his. lines from assault,
nut to attack at will.
Already the failure Of the German
drire begun last Monday is being rec
egnized in Germany. One paper that
has been quoted declares that this was
due to information given to the allies
byscaptured German soldiers. It mat
ters little how it happened. The point
Of chief interest is that it has hap
pened and that the German people are
beginning to understand that the
mighty armies Of the kaiser, for the
maintenance of which they are sacri-
ficing everything and are suffering in
toisrably, are at last faced by an un-
conquerable force. The hope Of vic
tory fades with each successive, fruit

action approaches.

That business, while waiting for the
verdict, is much perturbed stands to
reason. It is e1pecting substautial al
sessments, but wants them to be just
and fair.
If they ars not just and fair, the
government as well as business will
suffer. In order to pay its share Of
the wars cost, business must continue
to prosper. i must earn profits in or
der to pay taxes. The government
could not hope to find money in empty
tills, and tills which legislation had
emptied.
The situation is different from that
Of last year in several important par
ticulars. At that time the country's
war obligations did not stand fully re-
vealed. The why's and means commit
tee prepared its bill hastily, and with
out consultation with the interests in
volved. As result, assessments were
faulty made, and much confusion re-
suited.
Today the country appreciates the
fact that taxation must be heavy, and
may continue so for some time. The
ways and means committee has con-
suited many interests, and has a large
amount of information drawn from re-
liable sources bearing upon the reve-
nue. question in all Of its aspects. The
country, therefore, has the right to ex-
pect, and does expect, bill raising the
money the government needs without

The German Retreat.

Not in any reEtricted-area battles
during the war, save possibly those Of
the British in their heroic struggles at
Mons and Ypres during the first year,
have losses approximated those Of the
Germans in the conflict raging below
scissors and Rheims. German ranks
are being riddled by French, Ameri-
can and British artillery. Infantry
men are assisting in the task. The
Germans definitely :. are on the run.
Where they will stop or can stop re-
mains decidedly matter Of conjec-
ture.
Should the allies continue their pres
ent progress and hammer the enemy
as they have hammered him In the past
five days there is sufficient reason for
believing that the enemy faces a de-
bacle. The total of -Tepton losses is
certain to be CHASTITY. The Germans
tarried too long on the southern bank
of the Marne after the Franco-Ameri-
can offensive got under way between
the Aisne and the Marine. With al
lied artillery dominating the Chateau
Thierry-Soissons railroad and the
Americans astride the Scissors -Villers
Cotterets railroad, the Germans have
but one other main line Of railway
communication to their present posi-
tions. Their munitions supplies and
their food must go forward slowly.
They are being given no. time to
make a stand Their counter attacks
have proved futile, as evidenced by Sum
days counter attacks in the region Of
the ourcq. Each hour brings allied
forces closer together from all sides Of
the salient. By virtue Of their offen-
sive attacks to the east as well as to
the west the walls Of the ealient are
being slowly bent in to positions
where allied artillery and infantry can
work the greatest possible losses on
the foe. Already in places the French
and Americans have made their ad.
vance over piles Of enemy dead. Hun
dreds Of guns have been captured, q
loss grievous to the enemy by virtue
of the metal shortage within Germany.
With the allies pressing forward with
courage and zeal there Is every reason
to believe the Tentons may be forced
completely out Of the salient below the
Aisne. Under such circumstances the
results attained in three Of the Ger
mans major offensive will have been
nulled by single major counter ac-
ton by the allies.
