THE NEW OFFENSIVE

The belief ofSthe nenfin: charge Of affairs appears
to be that the present activity Of the Germans is in reality
the beginning Of the new offensive which has Been expect
ed for some time, and which was bound to come sooner
or later. The Germans had to move. The question was
when and where. r -,
They have chosen as the main part Of their prelimi.
drove into the Allied positions in their ambitious effort
which began on March 81. Most Of those Of US whose
military activities are confined to studying marks on a
map have been impressed with the apparent fact that this
was the weakest portion Of the German lines, and at times
some curiosity has been felt as to why General Foch did
not use his reserves in an effort to smash in the side OF
that salient. ~ n
We have been satisfied. however, to assume that
General Futh understood the conditions in that sector,
and knew better than the rest Of us what was useful to do
with his reserves. It appears. however, that the notion
relative weakness Of this German position has been in
accord With the actual facts as recognized by the Allied
command. and one of the possibilities discussed 10 that the
selection Of the Germans Of this position as the locale
for heir present effort is due to that weakness, and is
intended to forestall the Allied attack in that quarter
which they had reason to expect in due time. y
OF course the launching Of a. attack between Rheinas
and scissors IL no indication that the major effort Of the
Germans will be made there. 1t will be quite possible for
there deliver their main blow. We have the assurance.
prepared for all eventualities, and while the Germans may
gain some ground. It win be by means Of tremendous loss
|es, and the Allied lines will remain intact a. before.

RAILROAD RATE INCREASES

Following, or rather accompanying the announcement
of wage Increases which will alnont to some $500, 900. 900
a year, comes the announcement from washington Of
freight rate increases Of abot as per cent ana an increase
Of passenger rates tos cents q mile. It is.stated that these
advances will increase railway earnings by from $780,
900, 900 to $500, 900. 900 q year.
There has been general approval OF the recomrnen-
dation Of the commission on wages for tho proposed in
creases, and this approval was based on the fact that by
far the greater part Of the advance would go to those who
have not benefited from other recent advances. and who
are among the most poorly paid people in the railway SER
vice. When increases Of pay were made over a year ago
the advances went to men in those classes Of employment
which were organized. and which, by reason Of their or
ganization. had been able to make an effective presenta-
ton Of their case. Members of, the other groups. not be-
ing organized, did not benefit. One Of the purposes Of
the present increase is to correct this. and to bring more
nearly in accord with modern standards the pay Of the
men in the less well paid branches Of railway work. The
Justice Of this is almost universally recognized.
Rate increases are never desired by the public. But
the present increases will be accepted with philosophy
because their necessity is generally recognized. Tho as
sumption Of the government Of responsibility for railroad
earnings and Its complete control Of railway operation
has, in a rather curious manner, tended to simplify mat
ters. 1t is likely that il any individual had been asked
point blank from what source the railroads derived their
income he would, after a little thought, have given the
correct answer. But that answer has not always been
present in his mind. There has been a vague impression
that it was possible for the railroads to improve service
increase operating costs and build extensions indefinitely
without advancing rates, and even to do these things and
lower rates. We have acted as If we believed that there
was-for the railroads a mysterious source Of revenue on
which they could draw at will. and that no particular re-
lation need be maintained between operating costs and re-
ceipts from the public. We appear in many cases to- have
assumed that the railroads could pick money out Of the
air with which to pay the expenses Of their business. ana
the railriad being regarded in some quarters as the enemy
Of humanity, the need for dividends was not recognized,
anyway. -
But the government having taken over the business,
we appear suddenly to have reached an understanding Of
thesfact that whatever it costs to run a railroad. the mon
ey can be obtained only from the payments made by the
general public for service. Accordingly. when the cost Of
operation is increased, we agree that the rates must be
advanced in order to produce the needed revenues.
