Seven Ratifcations.

The Montana legislature yesterday
ratified the national prohibition amend
ment, making seven states that have
now approved it of the necessary thirty
SIX, the other states being Mississippi,
Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina,
North Dakota and Maryland. Other leg
islatures now in session are those of
Georgia, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New
York, Massachusetts and Louisiana, and
Wisconsin in special session. Of these
only Georgia is dry. OF the seven that
have ratified it five are already dry,
Kentucky and Maryland being the only
wet states that have given their assent.
The campaign for ratification is now in
progress in New York and. Massachu-
setts. In the former state the legislative
managers have offered compromise to
the prohibitionists whereby the legisla-
ture will adopt an amendment to the
state constitution for absolute prohibi-
tion and turn it over to the new legis-
lature Of 1919 for its approval, the
voters to express themselves later ON
the proposition. meanwhile sidetracking
the proposal to ratify the federal amend
ment and to pass war emergency bill
prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants in the state except light
wines and beer for the period of the war
and six months thereafter. The Anti
Saloon League does not agree to this
proposal and plans to continue the fight.
In Massachusetts, hearings have been
started before a legislative committee,
opponents of ratification urging refer
endum at the next election on the ques-
tion, which plan is opposed by the pro-
hibitionists> In these two states-New
York and Massachusetts-the full force
of the prohibition campaign is now be-
ing exerted, for victory there will have
a large influence for the final success
of the amendment.

Spring has come. The light shines
from the aluminium tip on the Monument
in the morning. This is a sure sign.
When the uptarnished surface of the
metal cap at the peak Of the great shaft
catches the rays o the sun, no matter
how cold the westher may be, it is a
token that winter is past. This
phenomenon of the cleaning cap Of the
Monument is a semi-annual occurrence,
in early spring and early autumn. The
aluminium never sloses its luster and
catches the morning rays like a mirror

Awaiting the Attack:

Secretary Baker, in his weekly "war
review" says that both sides are ready
for the German offensive on the west
front. There has been ample time
for preparation. The Germans have
been relieved in large part Of the ne
cessity of maintaining heavy force in
the east for some time, and have been
enabled by the failure Of the Russian
campaign to shift large bodies of troops
and to reorganize and consolidate units,
selecting the most dependable forces for
the attack upon which so much is staked.
On their side the allies have been kept
aware Of the German movements By
various means, ascertaining from time
to time the preparations behind the
lines by means Of aerial observation and
detecting the character Of the troops on
the front line by raids.

year suffered from a street car strike

nunity. There is abundant ground for
adjustment. The machinery for settle
ment is available. If the company and
the men cannot agree upon a wage scale
that is satisfactory to both sides the
difference may be submitted to arbitra-
tion on terms which will insure con-
dnued operation of the lines.
A street ear strike is one of the most
d9pgerous of disturbances. It almost
Invariably leads to disorder, and it al

part the present poor service on that
system Is the result of the quarrel be-
tween the company and the men. mas
much As the public is the chief sufferer
from such deadlock it is incumbent
upon both sides to settle the difference
peaceab1y. The present demands by the
mss Of the Capital Traction Company
are preferred in spirit of recognition
OF the right Of the community to enjoy
tEensit facilities, and the operatives do
not lose any advantage in their declara-
stion that they will continue to work

should aid him to regain his footing.
For when prohibition becomes an estab-
ished national policy, the men most
prominently associated with the achieve
ment will be in much favor. And he
will appear as q member Of that band.
One may look about him and discover
q number Of men experienced in poll
ties who are now in private life, and yet
stiH young enough for office. Some are
democrats, some republicans. They are
men of very decided ability. It is loss
to the country that they are neither in
action, nor the counselors Of those who
are. It is easily assumed that they are
not Indifferent to the country's present
troubled condition. AL are stanch and
true Americans.
But it happens that, for one reason or
another, they are not at this critical time
in official commission. They are in large
measure merely observers of events; or,
if participating, are engaged with duties
which do not bring into play their full
equipment. With larger opportunities,
they could do ten times more.
1t may be that, before the war is over
it is certain to be if the war settles into
a protraeted tug-these men will be
placed appropriately for the exercise of
their talents. When every man and
every dollar are pledged to the cause,
the meaning is, or should be, every man
in his proper place, and encouraged by
his place to give the country the benefit
of the best that is in him. In order
that every man shall be able to do his
full duty. it will be necessary to make
the way clear for that purpose.

Skip-Stops and the Public.

A week from next Tuesday the Pub
He Utilities Commission will grant q
hearing on the question of skip-stops,
to which the public is invited. 1t is
suggested that street car patrons will on
that occasion have an opportunity to
declare themselves on whether or not
the proposed plan Of lessening the num-
her of car stops should be adopted. AS
&ff as the public is concerned the an
swer to this question can be anticipated.
Tap people want service. They want
e6ts enough run on the lines to carry
them in the morning and evening with
oot great delay. They want relief from
the present conditions, which are in
tolerable. The average ear during the
rush hours is filed to suffocation with
In few blocks from its starting point.
If skip-stops will improve the service
there will be no dissent from the pro-
p6sal The average street car patron
would prefer to walk short distance
to point at which car will stop to
which he can gain entrance than to
stand at his nearest corner for many
minutes waiting for chance to get the
barest standing room. But skip-stops
alone will not grant the full measure Of
relief required. They will merely en-
able the cars that are in service to run
more rapidly over the lines They viii
conserve fuel to some extent. But un-
less they enable the cars in service to
make more trips during the rush hours
they will not afford any more accom-
mediation to the public. By lessening
the number Of stops more cars can be
operated. Skip-stops, plus more cars,
w5H remedy the evil. The public will
approve that formula heartily. It will
not approve skip-stops alone as a meas
ure OF rapid transit betterment.

Shipbuilding Army.
|. New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Let us have a shipbuilders' army.
When the shipbuilding battalions go
marching home at night why should
they not feel the thrill of fife and drum
feel that they are doing something for
their country, their fellow men. perhaps
for history and mankind? This is the
stun the human mind feeds upon and
must have. 1t is the failure to recog-
nize 1t that makes men rebel at the
steady grind of the days toll. It Is re-
bellion at the failure to achieve, to gain
recognition: to feel that they are doing
something worth while. We need a

German onset ia expressed by All the
representatives Of the allied forces.
There Is no disclosure Of the numbers
Of men and guns, but it is indicated
that in both respects there 10 prepou-
derance west Of no mans land. Recent
ly the wires have brought information
to the effect that the Germans plan to
use q new form Of tank and showers
of gas shells in advance Of the infantry
attack, and expect to crush their way
through by weight of numbers follow
ing these preparations. Just what
methols have been provided to meet
this drive is, of course, undiscIosed.
Surprise is expressed here and there
that the allies do not anticipate the Ger
man offensive by themselves assuming
the aggressive and striking before the
Germans are fully prepared. High
strategy, however, dictates delay, in the
Light Of past experiences. IF the Ger
man thrust can be thwarted it is bet
ter to permit it to be made with the
consequent losses the assailants will
suffer. Psychologically it is much more
desirable that the Germans should un-
dertake an offensive and fail than that
the allies should strike and merely re-
peat the proceedings at the Somme and
at Cambria with gain of territory.
The German public has been led to
expect big results from the spring Of
fensive. If they are not achieved there
will be reaction at home much more
demoralizing to the German military
organization than would the repetition
Of the Somme or Cambria offensive or
the Ypres OF Arras attacks. Should our
forces advance and score a territorial
gain of few miles the German people
would merely be told that the allies had
failed again to break the German line
and that the kaiser's forces had with
drawn for strategic reasons and were
more securely aligned than before.
