Too Late, Hindenburg. Too Late,

7 was Germanys fixed purpose TO deliver q
blow al the allied forces n France that
would crush them. arnihilate them, grind
them TO dust and permit Berlin 10 dictate
triumphant peace upon the ruins, before
American help could reach Europe Little
concealment was made OF this fact by Ger
man statesmen. They ntimated as much
time and again in the Reichstag. The GEN
eral headquarters permitted correspondents
at the front to explain this to the readers at
home. The secret was covertly condded TO
the world in general.
The miscalcua tors reckoned badly They
should have begun their crushing, smashing,
annihilating campaign about q year ago
They should not have waited for Russia TO
tall and for Roumania TO collapse They
should not have trusted too subliInely TO
the piracies OF their submarines. They
should not have listened with such blind faith
to the Ludendorffs and the Won Tirpitzes ana
other mlitarists who confidently assured the
German people that America could not put
her resources into the war short OF two or
three years.
All this advice is gratuitous now The
general staff now knows how sadly il
Numbered 1t knows that it falsely figured
regarding American strength, and that il de-
lberate!y lied regarding the lighting qualities
OF the American soldier. They pictured him
first as tenderfoot a reluctant military
servitor, who had been bodily dragged from
his home and forced into the field Of battle
NOW they picture him as a barbarian as
murderous savage fighting with "sawed-o off
sho'guns" and carrying tomahawks and
scaiping knives. a little later they will
again revise their reports. They will find It
necessary to explain to the German people
how it happened and they will confess that
America did il.
Nothing has been more bewildering in this
war than German psychology. The mental
processes OF the men. assumed 10 be the
most resourceful military leaders in the
world, absolutely pass Understandings They
rave done more utterly stupid things than
any nation. pretending 70 have brains in

Certainly the German soldiers who turned

In notifying the striking British ,nunition

the outgrowth of pacifst agitation and at
tempt to apply Bolshevik teachings TO
weaken England's war effort. No trade dis
pute is involved; rather, it is an attempt to
force the government to change the national
policy OF prosecuting the war to victory and
to enter into negotiations with the enemy for
a premature peace. 1t is worse than
slackerism; it is near-treason. and the proper
remedy Lloyd George has indicated will be

Good heed should be taken ot the warning
issued by the State Board OF Health against
typhoid fever. With thousands OF the States
physicians in the government service and
with the ranks Of the trained nurses depleted
almost to the point of extinction, it is doubly
urgent that the need OF precaution and the
use of simple sanitary measures be impressed
on the mind of every person in Virginia. To
be careless now is to be criminal, for one
bit OF negligence may cndanger the health
OF an entire community. Guarding agans
sickness is much a service as if one
were fighting in the trenches.

Organized baseball has received brief

OF the diamond and betake itself off to es-

lenient, and for this attitude he will not be
censured because Of the millions OF dollars

Ordinarily the passing of organized baseball

With more leather in the country than ever
before, many persons have wondered why
they have to pay such outrageous prices for
shoes. The report OF the Federal Trade Com
mission on the business of the FIVE big pack
ing concerns shows that their profits for the
first three years of the war were sl2l 600
600 in excess Of their total profits for the
preceding three years The packers prac-
ihcally control the leather market. In 1916,
the commission reports, the profits In leather
were in several instances two, three, four
and even five times as large as in 1915
Since then prices for shoes have continued
to advance, and it may not be doubted that
the profits of the packers On leather have
grown. Congress must find
a way to check this outrageous prohteerine
upon the necessities of the people.
