French mutiles (wounded soldiers

seeking assistance in securing artI'
hcial arms or legs. The ones supplied
by the Red Cross are the most nrac-

So great has been the demand for

important in surgical operations.

The Congestion of Industry.


from the National CITY sank Bulletin
The testimony before the Senate committee shows that the delay
in securing clothing for the army has been due to difficulty in obtain
ing materials. and the consumptive demands of the public have been
the enormous business the country is doing. The country is literally
gathered d crop estimated by the department of agriculture to be
raised prior to the war. Disbursements for wages arc far above those
the time more nearly full and the wages higher. The expenditure of
these widely distributed sums creates a vast volume of trade and trail.
fic, and has put a burden upon the railways which in connection with
the war business has been more than they could bear. An attempt
has been made to give the government certain prior rights, but it is
impracticahlc to shut off private business generally and the activity
Of trade everywhere shows that it has not been shut Off. 1t has been
going on, it has been taking up room on the railways, and played a
part in cutting down the production of iron and steel to about Is pc,
cent of the capacity OF the works. This is direct interference with the
work OF preparing the country for war.
The demands created by the war plus ordinary consumption IRE
far beyond the industrial capacity OF the country. but owing to the
unlsua! flow OF money in circulation. passing through many hands,
private consumption in many lines is probably greater than ever
before. 1t would be so naturally. and will be ST unless restricted
either arbitrarily or voluntarily. But if it is greater than usual how
is the government to get it's work done? The appropriations author
ICED for expenditure this year foot up $l9OOOOO0O00, which. "A we
have previously pointed out, compares with S24OOOOOOO00 as the
total value of the output of all manufacturing establishments i'm this
country. according to census figures, for the year 1914. These figures
are more significant when it is known that they include the products
of the great meat packing industry, and other establishments where
the manufacturing process is comparatively slight. All inclusive the
value of the total product in 1914 was $24,OO0OO0O00. This sheds
some light upon the industrial significance of the governments plans
to expend $4,000, 100000 in one year. Allowance must be made for
higher prices. and for expansion i'm capacity since 1914, but i'm any
event the comparison is startling.

GERMANY HAD PREPARED
ITS EASTERN US
From tho New York Times.

The motive and mystery Of Gcr,nany's campaign against Riga In
October are out now. Theories varied all the way from intended

RUSSIA and Germany over the peace terms explains everything.
Germany made the Riga campaign i'm anticipation of the peace
aegotmtons that have followed, and for the purpose of the demand

she intended 10 claim, The famous Article II of the German terms,

tie sending OF an army to Riga. Only now, however, mas it been
offered to The light.
BY this military promenade Germany placed herself in readiness
for the position she now takes, that of blandly informing Russia mat

Germany has the incredible cynicis" to add and that she must retain
for the present her garnsons in Riga and Iibau. The country around
Riga was the only part OF the chain which Germany had not taken up
last October. Ihc invasion OF Riga was for the purpose OF taking it
up, OF extending the chain all the way from Poland to Finland, and
shutting Russia forever from every drop of blue water between the
Mediterranean SCI and the Arctic ocean.
