CHILDREN IN AUTOS

One of the most dangerous prac.
tees, a growing danger, is that of
permitting Children to drive automo-
bilos. This is custom that is gain
ing in the face of the fact that il is
violation of the law. No boy, no
girl under sixteen years can drive a
car and not be subj9ct to arrest and

A FAILURE

U-boat depredations for the last
couple Of weeks have dropped to about
OLE third of their average for recent
months. At the same time it is an.
nounced that our transfer Of Ameri-
can troops to France is proceeding
three times as rapidly as before
The two facts may not have any
thing to do with each other. II may
wen be true that the lessened degtruc-
ton of merchant ships is due to mob
ilization of German submarines for
concerted drive against our army trans
ports, and that they may actually sue
coed in sinking transport or two at
any time despite our navy's utmost
precautions.
But such a disaster, if it comes,
VIII De casual, not interfering with
the general trend of events The big
outstanding fact is that in spite of all
that Germany has been able to do in
more than a year of utter ruthlessness
and lawlessness, we are able to get
our men and supplies across the sea
almost at will and shall continue to
do 80 with an increasing margin of
safety.
We are doing what the Prussian
government considered impossible
when it forced us into the conflict
carrying the war to Europe on a scale
commensurate with the size of the
task, fighting already in force to stop
the German drive and preparing calm
ly to face the battered Huns with
great, fresh, perfectly equipped army

RUsso-eERMAN TARIFF DISPUTES


The strained tariff relations that ex-
listed between Russia mad Germany
much of the time between 1890 and
the outbreak of the war are describ-
ed in report made public today by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce.
The predominance of agriculture IN
Russia and the advanced state of the
manufacturing interests and banking
and carrying facilities of Germany,
coupled with geographical proximity,
furnished solid basis for close com
mercial relations, BIT the industrial as
perations of Russia. resulting in decid-
ed protectionism, and the strong and
aggressive Influence of the German
Agrarians introduced an element of
economic conflict that at one time at
tanned the proportions of tariff war
The author of the report, Mr.. Do
meratky, tariff of the Bureau, gives
IT as his opinion that, aside from poll
teal contingencies, which are not with
out influence on the tariff relations of
the two countries, Russia has been at
disadvantage in negotiating com
meroial treaties with Germany. This
was due primarily to the fact that
Germany was the chief market for
Russia's agricultural and forest pro
ducts and to Russia's need as a deb
jor nation, of favorable balance of
trade The author considers it ex-
tremely hazardous to make any fo1s-
cast as to the future tariff relations
between the two countries but dis
-cusses at some length the situation
as it existed a few months before the
war started

rate of loss, If carried through all Gle.

of wages somewhere Between SIS 000,-

of war material amounting TO 500 0O0-

INDUSTRIAL SLACKERS

The governor of Ohio finds the la
Dor situation so serious in his state
that he calls attention to it in pub
lie proclamation. The problem with
which he is concerned is not the much
discussed sortaEa of workmen. II is
the failure of workmen to work stead
lily at their Jobs.
In a survey of many representative
industries throughout the state. says
Governor Cox. it has been found that
the number of men absenting them
selves from their regular work on any
given day is nearly 10 per cent That
is TO say, the productive efficiency of
the states working force is only about
80 percent of what it would be if the
men worked steadily.
An investigation in Cleveland show
ed that condition prevails where no
American interested in the success of
the war would expect to find tin

PEKING, Mar about 1900 Chi

City Rotten With Spies
Twelve hundred non-naturalized
Germans have just been expelled from
Washington We feel safer in their
absence. But the city is rotten with
spies, many of whom doubtless are
regularly employed in the govern
ment departments. Some OF these
spies presumably have been on the
kaiser's payroll for many years: they
are his slaves. and dare not quit his
service for fear of exposure of past
activities in his behalf. In the war
and navy departments are many Ger
