Camp Good. Will.

Only a small amount of money is
needed to carry on the work at Camp
Good Will for the remainder of the
summer. The Rotary Club has offered
to give half of this sum if tho other
portion is raised by subscription.
There should be no doubt of the CIV
ing Of the full amount. No more help
full charity is maintained in Washing
TON than this camp. where mothers and
children are taken for a respite from,
the city's heat. 1t is no exaggeration
TO say that scores of lives have been
saved by means Of these summer out
ings during the years Of the estab-
iishment of Camp Good Will. The cost
Of maintaining the camp has increased
with the cost Of living everywhere,
and consequently more money is need
ed to care for the same number as
have been heretofore accommodated
at the camp. Every person with COM
Portable home should be disposed to
donate a part of this requisite sum
for the succor of the women and chill
dren who live in quarters of intense
discomfort during the heated season.

Russia in COLLAPSE,

Conditions in Russia are evidently be-
coming chaotic. Premier Lenine and
Trotzky. it is now reported, have fled
fron, Moscow to Kronstadt, and the
German embassy is about to or has al
ready left Moscow for Pskov. A sig
nifcant fact IN connection with the de-
parture of the Germans is that they
are to go TO Pskov. which is about 400
miles west of Moscow, by way of Petro-
grad, Helsingfors in Finland and Re-
al, thus travelling by most round
about route, owing, it is stated, "to
traffic conditions"
Complete breakup of the bolshevik
authority is indicated by these develop
ments. Germany cannot profit from
the disruption. On the contrary,
the more Gisintegrated becomes the
provisional government of Russia the
more necessary it is for Germany to
maintain a large force there. The
bolshevik government had manifested
SO pronounced a pro-German DISPOSE
tion that its maintenance was an OBJ
vious part of the German campaign.
But the bclsheviki have been unable to
force the acceptance by the Russian
people of the German terms of peace.
Revolution has been steadily develop
ing in various parts of the former en-
pire. The Russians realize that they
have been betrayed by their self-con-
stituted leaders into the hands of an
enemy bent upon their exploitation.
German cruelties have been practiced
in the Ukraine and elsewhere until the
old methods of terrorism have been
revived. Assassination has occurred.
The fight of Lenine and eTrotzky
may bring matters to a crisis. There
is nothing to indicate the prob
able immediate developments. If the
kolskevik leaders call upon their Ger
man friends for assistance it will
probably be rendered. But a German
sustained bolshevik government sim
ply means civil war in Russia, and
civil war means that Germany must
maintain a large army in that section.
Thus what appeared few months ago
to be a German asset in the Russian
change is likely now to become q iabil
ity unless Germany decides to cut her
losses in that direction and leave Rus
sia to her own fate. in order to con-
centrate all available man power in
the defense of the western line.

Subs OF Our Coast.

German submarines operating of
this coast are taking toll chiefly Of
small vessels, nine schooners having
lately beer sunk, with a steamer Just
reported as victim to bring mp the
average Of destroyed tonnage. These
iosses are inconsiderable and cannot
possibly be of any material advantage
to the enemy. Perhaps there is some
satisfaction in Berlin in the fact that
the U-boats are maintaining them
selves in American waters. But there
is an almost mathematical certainty
that some of these raiders will be sunk.
it is assured that they are being hunt
cd and the pursuit will probably be
marked by every known method OF
detection. Such losses as the enemy is
able to indict over here cannot be com
mensurate with the cost.

Foch's Power of Initiative.

: Marshal Foch's success last week in
his second offensive has proved not
only that he now possesses the initia-
tive, but that he is able to strike in
practically any point on the line from
the sea to the Alps. With almost
startling rapidity the campaign has
changed in aspect The Germans are
now fighting a strictly defensive bat
tie, whereas only few weeks ago
they were the aggressive force.
Foch's plan of campaign becomes
more obvious with each move, though
not sufficiently so to enable the enemy
to discount his strategy. 1t is evil
dent that he proposes to strike at one
point and another and force success
sive retirements, keeping the Ger,
mans on the run here and there and
giving them no time to reorganize. II
he can continue this process during
tho next two and half months Of
temperate weather he will have gone
far toward freeing France from the
foe.
When the enemy's front line can be
not only bent, but actually broken,
with immense captures of prisoners
and materials, it is plain that his pow
or or resistance has been weakened
to the point of actual danger. Since
the 18th of July the Germans have
lost approximately $4,000 men in cap
fives and more than thousand guns,
not to mention enormous stores of
materials, transport vehicles, food and
ammunition. Such loss is in itself
great defeat, not to speak of the de-
rletion through killed and wounded
men, reckoned at from 100000 to $780,
600.
establishment of the German
Forces along the 'Hindenburg line
from which the offensive in March
was launched, is now expected to re-
suit from the withdrawal from the
Montdidier salient, perhaps not i'm
mediateiy, but soon. Publication in
Germany of true map of the military
situation in the west could not fail to
cause a general disheartening. II
would ne more discouraging to the
German people than was the German
advance of last spring to the allies.
For the allies knew that help was at
hand in the American forces, coming
, rapidly and increasingly, while today
tbs Germans can look for no aid from
any source, and every depletion of
I man power is an irreplaceable loss.
, The relinquishment of adj the terri
tory taken at terrible cost would neces-
! tarily stand in the eyes of the German
people as an irretrievable defeat and
could not but have a marked effect
upon their spirit.

Taxes and Business.

Recently an unnamed member Of
the ways and means committee was
quoted in these terms:
Excess profits taxes will not be
made so high as to drive any corpora
tion ont of business-even though its
product be looked upon As absolutely
non essential at this time. American
business must be left in a healthy
state to be able to maintain its place
at the close Of the war"
Business should be considered - re-
spects both the present and the future.
While the war is in progress and taxes
necessarily are high, business, in order
to pay its share-and its share will be
1arge-must prosper. The proposition
is self-evident. No prosperity. no div
idends; no dividends, no taxes. In
considering the interests Of business,
therefore, Congress will be consider
ing the governments interests. They
are intertwined. They cannot be sep
arated without injury to both.
A very large order will begin At the
close Of the war. Every manner Of
business should be in good shape then.
Trade will be the wntchword. The pur-
pose will be to advance America to a
place among the leading trade nations
of the world We shall seek trade
wherever obtainablc. We shall want

accomplish our purpose we must be in

Names Water Supply

The State Fuel Administrator on
Thursday called upon the Public
Utilities Commission for q statement
as to the amount of water in the
Maine storage basins or reservoirs at
the present time, with n view of as
certaining how many of the indus
trial plants which are run by water
through the spring could depend on
the water to run through the season
The Public Utilities Commission
did not have that information at
hand as to the present situation, hut
Immediately began using the tele-
phone, with the result that in TWO
hours the commissions officials were
able to report to the fuel admins
tor that with one exception and with
normal rainfall during the coming
summer, there is enough water in
the reservoirs to run the various
plants depending on water for power
for the rest of the year.
The exception, where the present
supply does not indicate enough
water for that purpose is the Sebago
lake and section.
The report was no doubt a welcome
one to the fuel administrator, who
has been and is yet having his
troubles with the coal question.
