felt in the remotest parts of the central empires Out
long before the advance was begun from Chateau Thier
~, a transatlantic drive. quieter. but OF far greater mo.
ment, had been in progress.
If Won Tirpitz had been able TO make good his threat
to destroy food supply ships from America, not only
would all the allied nations have been subjected to I'M
bearable privation. but the maintenance on the CONT
nent of an American expeditionary force of any strength
would have been rendered impossible.
When. in less distracting times. the history OF this
great struggle shall be truthfuly written, the part taken
by the merchant vessel in bringing about the overthro"
of Prussianism will receive adequate recognition. The
supply ships. often unarmed and alone. went noiselessly
to sea. laden with commodities of vital necessity not
only to the people Of the unconquered but Of the con
quered nations. For long months neither guns nor con.
voys could be given them.
All danger of a food famine in the allied countries
was averted long ago. No anxiety is likely to arise again
respecting the ability of the British and American mer-
chantmen to keep the civil and military populations OF
those nations fully supplied. There are many other as
surances of victory at hand, but among them there is
none greater than this. in the opinion of the Christian
Science Monitor.

he SAM OLD STORY.

Once again is the wretched mail service 10 and from
our soldiers in France up for criticism and complaint,
says the New York Tribune. Mr.. Otto Kahn, returning
from abroad. rated it as one of the serious failures of our
overseas venture. The wife OF a colonel whose first
fifteen letters never reached her husband at all and out
Of whose total OF thirty letters six arrived may have
Jared worse than the average. But the uniform record
is disgracefully bad. The complaints are constant
There seems to be no question that the military ~postoffce
has proved inadequate to meet its task.
That task is a gigantic one and the difficulties bot@
OF transport across and Of delivery in France are clearly
great. But surely American genius can cope with the
problem if sufficient brains and energy are applied.
The complaint has been a continuing one. From ali
reports results, so far from improving, have grown
worse. Where is the trouble? Is there an unwillingness
on the part of the military machine to concede the i'm
portance of overseas mail? We are loath to believe
short sightedness exists. Surely every one with half an
eye for the morale of any army knows the vital impor.
lance of swift, certain communication between trench
and home.
We can endure the awful mail service now being
given by the government in this country, but our soldier
boys must get their mail from home. Great God. but
these boys are entitled to that for their sacrifices!

AFTER Al AGAIN.
as his CUR

Some light on the mail service to our boys in France
is expected to be shed under the terms of a resolution
introduced by Senator Howard Sutherland of West Vir-
ginia, and Immediately adopted by the senate. Under
its terms the secretary of war and the postmaster gen
eral are directed to make separate reports to the sen
ate at the earliest practicable moment" on the move
ment OF mails to and from our troops abroad. and what
steps are being taken to improve the service.
Although the matter has been agitated from time
to time in the past few months. very little improvement
IN conditions has been made. and Senator Sutherland
thinks it Is about time for congress TO take a decided
stan don the question.
From the repeated complaints that come to this Of
fee about the soldiers mail between here and France
'e think it is high time to do something and do it quickly.

coBB's PEAcE FORMULA.

Irwin Cobb says that America has three tasks to
perform in this war. They are:
First, to make the world a decent place for human
beings to live in:
Second, to cure the only spot on earth where a gang
of autocratic degenerates still believes it has a divine
right to rule over its fellow-men:
Third, to knock the mania out of Germania."
1t is a pretty good statement of the situation. On
careful analysis. however, the three really boil down to
one. If We succeed in knocking the mania out of Ger
mania" the other two items will take care of themselves
Nj. Cobb deserves the thanks of the nation for fur
nishing this lucid Cobbian peace formula

IT'S UP TO EACH OF US.

The word now on everyone's lips is morale" Our
morale demands that we send this food. their morale
depends on our sending it. The message is valueless
without the resultant action. Each one must act as if
the freedom of the world depended on his individual
action. After all. one man pressed the button that
launched this war and one may press the button that
will end it; and furthermore, his name nav never be
known. 1t is the job of each citizen of these United
States TO act as if the very freedom of the nations de
pended on his individual thought, on his individual act.
This is democracy. Are We ready for IL

1t makes a great deal Of difference
to the kaiser whose bull is gored.
Recently the German city of Frank
fort was bombed by allied aeroplanes,
and regrettable to say a number of
civilians were killed or wounded. The
kaiser sent telegram to the burgo-
master Of Frankfort, expressing his
sympathy and declared the enemy's
attack was contrary to international
law" That is the limit of mendacity.
The kaiser would make his people
believe that the rape of Belgium, the
bombing of London, Paris and other
allied cities, the sinking of hospital
ships, the bombing Of Red Cross hos
pitfalls, the torturing of prisoners, and
the thousand other atrocities COM
mitted by his armies, and for which
he has been in the habit of rewarding
the perpetrators with iron crosses,
were not contrary to international
law" Throughot the war the kaiser
and his myrmidons have treated in
ternational law as scrap of paper.
They have known no law of God or
man, divine or human, and squeel
like ours they are when compelled to
submit to some of the frightfulness
they invented and practice.

The War Industries Board demands
that country printers shall reduce the
quantity of white paper used Is per
cent. In cases where newspapers
have subscription lists closely paid
up this order is going to work con-
siderable Of hardship. One way
print paper could be very materially
saved Is to demand that the Sunday
issues Of daily papers be curtailed In
size. The present practice is to issue
Sunday editions containing a vast
mass of reading matter that interests
few people. In fact few who take a
Sunday paper ever think of wading
through all the many sections. indeed
they have not the time to read all
the slush that is used as filler for
these mammoth sheets. Cut down
the Sunday issues OF the daily paper
half and there would be an enormous
saving made in white paper and II
would work no hardship on the read
! ing public. Another source of waste
is the innumerable circulars that are
printed and sent broadcast over the
land. Then II the government Is
really in earnest in the effort to save
| white paper it could make an enor-
nous saving by curtailing the tons
of printed matter turned out from the
government printing office at Wash.
ington, which is sent over the country
through the congressional Thanking
privilege, cluttering up the mail and
finally finding way to the waste
basket.
