"Signifying Nothing"

A stupid Prussian political trick has been mag
nhed into international incident by various
supcrheated imaginations.
Just because Won Kuehlmann was used as a
decoy by the Potsdam ring-a buffer by which the
real facts Of the military situation might be broken
to civilian Germany-all sorts of tomtoms have
been beaten about peace offensive by Germany
Yesterday we had the monumentally shallow
statement that the Kaiser was on the edge of con-
Tossing that Germany's was a lost cause or words
to that general effect and that the hapess Ger
man foreign minister being used to drive in
a wedge by which peace negotiations could be
neutrality-suspicious. which would leave the Prus-
sian autocracy still in the saddle in its own bai-
wick although defeated in its main war objectives
Nothing is more futile than that sort of specu-
laton at present, because the fact is that the
greatest military blow that the world has ever
seen is about to be struck the Western 'front.'
and supreme confidence is held by the German
high command that it will be successful That does
not necessarily mean, of course that either Paris or
the Channel ports will fall that the allied armies
will be broken destroyed; but it does mean that
tremendous gains will be registered, if the Ger
man plan is partially carried out
The next two months are going to be anxious
months for London, Paris and Washington. There
IS not going to be any real peace offer from Ger
many now, for the pan-Germanists and the Junkers
were more set upon their rule or ruin"
policy than they are today. The peace talk does
not come from them. They were never more
firmly convinced than today that victory is theirs
They blind their eyes to the economic condition of
Germany. That is of their concern 1t is
their business to win victories on the battlefield
They are doing this, according to their own point
OF view, and they believe the end of the summer
will their enemy out and ready to talk
German peace"

Brewing at Home.

Sumptuary laws sometimes have queer results.
A few years ago Oregon decided to quit drink
ing and it enacted set of bone-dry laws that made
it penal ofense to even possess pint of beer for
your own use
The laws were, and are yet, enforced, and Illegal
dstilling and illicit peddng of booze attained
much popularity in Oregon.
But the result has been the opening up, in tens
OF thousands of homes. of the family brew vat
Righteous folks who would never have banged
open the swinging door of a saloon folks who re-
garded wine as a mocker, persons who just oeca-
sionaly partook of a dinner glass just to be socia-
Bile have discovered how easy it is to brew your
own ale and heavy beers and the home production
of alcoholic beverages has attained general popu-
larity.
The proof is that the sale of brewers malt,
which is the foundation of the home brew, has in
creased greatly that often the market is bare and
bakers cannot obtain supplies.
Drug stores, grocery stores. confectionery shops,
bakeries, everywhere the few simple ingredients for
home grown" ale and 'arf and 'arf to be found
the demand for them is increasing.
The beer produced is said to be of good flavor,
is without aduteraton or headache and has made
no black marks on the police court records.

win They Stand forIIt!

Read what Food Director Hoover says, and
then to it that your wife reads it
During February and March our allies in Eu-
rope were starving to the point of licking the plat
ter. In London, in March, there were always
100000 or more people in line waiting for chance
to get food supplies. In April the foods saved by
Americans began reaching Europe in quantity.
Says Mr.. Hoover:
"The fortunate thing is our food got over there
just when the great spring offensive of the Ger
mans got under way, and just when the morale Of
the allied peoples was going down very fast.
Our food saved the day and we never could have
shipped the amounts did if it had not been
for the enormous savings voluntarily effected by
the American people
"The American housewife is holding the line
by feeding our allies until we get an American
army over there in force. If it had not been
for her the war would have been over"
OF course this authoritative information is
startling and, of course, we've got to go right
on conserving food but the. point we want to
make in respect this matter is that it Is authori
tative information to what the peoples savings
and sacrifices have actually accomplished 1t is
information pound of which weighs more than a
ton of programs, plans, specifications and promises,
and giving such information should in much
larger degree enter into the war managemenfs
policy. .'
The old claim that informing the American peo-
pie to what they've done is informing the enemy
is pretty much worn-out gag, which in the case
of arpanes, for instance, is taken excuse for
concealing what hasn't been accomplished with sew
eral hundreds of millions Of dollars. Germany
knows resources, knows that we're in it for all
worth and very likely knows what we've
accomplished better than does the American pub
lie. Men and women but grown-up children.
Show child that it has done big things. and. in
nine cases out of ten, it will at once 60 at doing
bigger things. Mr. Hoover declares that saved
Europe from collapse last spring. Very good.
Wen put her beyond reach of collapse so long as
this war lasts

Mr.. Borland's 8 End.

President Wilson has vetoed the Borland S-hour
amendment and thereby has again proved his high
principles of justice which enemies and politicians
have repeatedly assailed but found answering.
We expected nothing else but veto from the
President. During the early portion of the war
it was the President who gave his approval to the
view OF the Council of National Defense that dur
ing the war the hours of labor should not be in
creased and that there should be no other disturb
ance of existing standards of labor until after full
investigation and recommendation by the Council of
National Defense.
Last week The Washington Herald questioned
Mr.. Borland's motives in fighting for an 8-hour
day, and pointed out that it is unfortunate that
many OF our Senators and Representatives are
yelling themselves in the guise of patriotism for
political aggrandizement. .
We said that if politics is Mr.. Borland's idea
he will some day be sadly disappointed man.
And the beginning of this disappointment prob
ably dates from the vetoing of his pet measure
What will be Mr.. Borlands end politically?
1t is not necessary to forecast-but we might
add that it is poor politics in this day when labor
is coming into its to be an enemy of labor
Mr.. Borland doubt overlooked the fact that
labor has common cause, and that by incurring
the enmity of labor in the District of Columbia
he incurring the enmity of labor in his home
State, Missouri.
The memory of labor in its fight for justice is
as long as time and broad as the world

Fourth of July in the Shipyards.

The United States Shipping Boards latest
figures OF the launchings in American yards on
July shows that ninety-four mercantile vessels
Will take the water that day, with a tonnage
well over 47o,SS6. What this means in ships may
be better understood when it is recalled that in
1914 the total tonnage of ships of United States
registry of all classes employed in foreign service
was I,o66,3oI. this including steam and sailing
ships, canal boats and barges The tremendous
expansion OF building facilities necessary to pro-
duce these ships is disclosed by the records of
construction for previous years
The tonnage launched on July 4 will exceed the
total construction in any of the four years ending
with 1914, and will be more than double that of
1912
Or the vessels to be launched on this anniyer-
sary It IS announced that thirty-seven will be of
steel and hfty-three of wood The material of the
others is not recorded The steel shipbuilders will
contribute 2S2,I86 tons, against 1890 sent down
the ways by the builders of wooden ships The
number OF launchings and the tonnage might have
been considerably increased by Withholding buIIs
from the water for the sake of making a more
impressive record, but the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration specifically requested that no such DELAYS
be tolerated The sentimental value of a stupen-
dous total of ships launched on the nations birth
day IS not undervalued, but the necessity of get
ting cargo carriers into service at the earliest pos
sble moment oyerrules all other considerations
Ships which might have been held back were
launched every day last week and will be this
week Even under these circumstances the show
ing is amazing.
When the character of the ships to be launched
Is examined, says the New York Sun, il will he
seen that there are hulls to meet every possible
requirement of military transport and of commerce
The dead-weight Tonnage of the wooden ships is
distributed as follows: OF them one is of 4. zoo

tons, useful size Tor general purposes

Freedom for Slavs Forever.
r all, forever!''

Freedom, tor all, torever!
That slogan means what it says.
1t means freedom for Belgians, for Poles, for
Russians, for Germans for French, for British
for Americans.
Now Secretary Lansing has made it unmistak-
ably plain to the Potsdam(ned) gang that it also
means freedom for the Slavs.
Bohemia, Moravia, Istria, Csrniola. Carinthia
Bosnia, Serbia, Sovenia, Podolia-a the little ma
tons of Central Europe of which we seldom read
but which are suffering under the heel of Austrian
and German militarism-all must be freed forever!
America has thrown down the gauntlet, definite
ly and finally. There can be no recession.
The Slavs cannot be freed until Germany is
crushed just definitely and finally.
That is the task before US. 1t must be accom-
plished not by German-made peace, but BY

has not been indulged in accord
ing to members of the railroad ad-
ministration and by railroad men
themselves. Complaints have reach
ed Congress on this score and an
investigation was made which show
ed them to be unfounded.
The matter indicates. however.
that the actions OF the government
in handling the carriers are being
carefully watched by the rank and
file. 1t will be impossible with this
strict guardianship. for any con-

MAMAUX CASE Up
To NATIONAL BOARD
Status Of Former Pirate Hurler to
Be Decided Shortly

New York, Feb. 8.-While the con-
new Brooklyn pitcher, and President
Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates is
getting hotter each day Charley Eb-
bets, president of the Brooklyn club,
is taking the part Of the innocent
bystander, though Charley has signi-
fled his intention to do the right
thing. Ebbets wrote to MamauN q
few days ago, informing him to stand
by the ruling of the National Com
mission in his case against Dreyfuss
and assured Mamaux that his rights
would be protected by the Brooklyn
club
, The case is an interesting one for
it seems to indicate that the spirit
of vindictiveness, which Dreyfuss felt
for his former pitching star last
summer has not been quenched. Last
summer, it will be recalled, Dreyfuss
threatened to have Mamaux blacklist
ed from organized baseball because
he played semi-pro ball during his
indefinite suspension. This state
ment got quite a rise out of Presi-
dent Tener at the time, who said he
did not like to hear talk of black
listing ball players in these days when
America is fighting for pure democ~
racy.
From the evidence of the case, the
Brooklyn club was not Informed by
Pittsburgh that Mamaux was under
contract when the trade which
brought him to Brooklyn was made.
At least Charles Ebbets, Jr, secre-
ta1y of the Brooklyn club, made such
a staten ent last night.
Ebbets Acted in Good Faith.
''Mamaux and Dreyfuss seem to be
in quite a muddie out in Pittsburgh,
said young Ebbets, ''but the Brook
Ign club has no part in it. We made
the Mamaux trade in perfect good
faith, but had received no word from
the Pittsburgh club, MamauX or from
any one else that he was under con-
tract for 1918. Under the rules of
organized baseball, MamauX was sent
a. contract by the Brooklyn club.
IF the National Commission now
decides that Mamaux has a legiti-
mate contract with the Pittsburgh
club for 1913 we, of course, are per-
fectly willing to assume it The
Brooklyn club is interested only in
doing the right thing, and no matter
how the controversy is settled it can
not affect our title to the player"
The case has attracted quite some
attention in baseball circles and the
decision of the National Commission
will set a precedent for the new con-
tracts. So far as can be ascertaine1
It is the first time a club owner has
taken the stand that suspension of q
player for the season automatically
abrogates his contract
