ITALIAN EXCHANGE

Italian interests complain. and apparently with Justice
that the present rate of exchange is not only decidedly
to the disadvantage of italy. but is an injustice to her
people. A few days ago it took nine Italian lire to pur-
chase an American dollar, whereas normally it takes but
five. If the northwestern farmer received the price of
his crop in silver dollars, but had to pay the interest on
his mortgage in gold, and the silver dollar were worth
but SIS cents in gold, the problem of the farmer would
be somewhat similar TO that Of the Italian merchant or
citizen.
Italy is buying heavily Of goods from the United States.
She pays for them in American dollars. She uses nearly
double the quantity of her own money in order to equal
lie the exchange that she would be required to use in
normal times. The consequence is that her people are
actually paying nearly twice as much for our products
as they should pay. Somebody gets the difference. It
is not the American farmer, or laborer, or manufacturer,
or producer in any other line. The cream is skinned
off somewhere between the American producer and the
Italian consumer, and it is rough on the italian.
There is a movement on for the regulation of this
exchange by our government, to the end that unneces-
sary burdens may not be imposed on these, our friends
and %neighbors. That movement will have the sympathy
OF all who believe in Justice and fair play.

PUBLIC SERVICE AND POLITICS

The recent order Of Director General McAdoo pro-
hibi1ns railroad men from engaging in political activ-
tiles Is intended to keep the railroads on a business
rather than a political basis. It is sweeping in its pro-
visions. for it not only prohibits, on the part Of rail-
road employees, those political activities which have
sometimes been described as pernicious, but it taboos
even membership in. political parties.
The railroads were taken over by the government
because Of the war. Thousands OF people who are op-
posed to government ownership Of railroads as q s.n-
eral principle acquiesced IN the action taken because
OF the war necessity. and others who might be inclined

REGISTRATION

Thursday, September ~. will be registration under
the amended man power law. It is important that al,
men between the prescribed ages present themselves at
their voting precincts on that day, as failure to comply
the law, if inadverteht, will certainly entail great
inconvenience. and If wilful will subject the offender to
heavy penalties. -
Every male person, who has attained his 18th birth
Of physical fitness, of occupation and Of dependents
have no bearing on the registration. The individual
must register. and his status as to service will be fixed
after that.
The questions which must be answered at the regis
tration are few and simple. They relate chiefly to age.
occupation and domestic status. 1t is to be remembered
that the coming registration includes persons within the
former registration ages. 81 to 81, as we'll as to the added
cases. Is to Fl and 81 to As. Hence any man who has
passed his 21st birthday since the last registration must
register with the others.

THE PASTORS SALARY

The Literary Digest, in its issue of August 81, pre-
sented a stirring appeal for justice to the pastors of the
country in the matter Of salary. In an impressive article
occupying afful page, it set forth thesqualifcations that
are demanded OF the minister. pastor, priest, rabbi, or by
whatever name the religious leader may be called, and
called attention to the fact that while the compensation
OF these public servants is ~pitifully small, the average in
eight denominations being but 1898 a year, these men,
almost alone in the United States, have neither organi-
alton nor spokesman, whereby their right to a living
wage may be presented and enforced. Almost every one
OF the more numerous bodies Of workers has its organi.
zation which seeks, among other things. to see that the
compensation Of it's members keeps pace reasonably with
their legitimate needs. and most of those who are not
organized IN this manner have at least the advantage
Of the recognized expedients Of the business world, which
permit one If not to sell his services to the highest bid
der, at least to engage frankly in the search for positions
where the pay is best.
Custom and sentiment debar the pastor from thi,
course. He cannot strike for more pay or shorter hours
And because Of a-false estimate Of his position in 20.
ciety, even the request for more money is quite apt to
be regarded as evidence Of a mercenary spirit. The pas
tor is more than a preacher. He is the counsellor and
friend of his people. He is their comforter in sorrow
their companion in Joy, their means of inspiration in ali
that makes human life worth living. The conmunit,
looks to him for leadership. The government expec,
him to stimulate the patriotic spirit of his people. Il
he y fitted for his work, and lives up to his opportuni
ties. money cannot measure the value of the servtc,
which he gives. But, because his service cannot b,
measured in money. he ought not therefore to be lef
to starve. The Digest has performed a worthy and
timely act in calling the attention Of its readers to til.
facts, and in inviting them to place the pastors salar,
more nearly where # ought to be-,

won a marked superiority oyer the
Germans.
The training OF ground flying
pilots is particularly thorough. and
includes much necessary practice in
leaping hills, trees and telegraph
etc.-in a manner which
promptly leads the uninformed spec
tator to condemn the airman as a
reckless fool.
But failing this practice the pilot
would eve acquire the skill and
confidence necessary for this highly
specialized type Of work. The, ma

sion or hesitating then he has in-ac-

In ground flying tactics the pilot
acts mainly on his own personal In
itiative, and he must be prepared to
attack the enemy whenever he may
be found, either with bombs. gren-
AIDES. darts, or machine gun fire. Thus

E0PE AND PREPARE

In one of his recent war letters Sir F. B: Maurice,
of the British army, rejoices over recent Allied victor
les, but points out that the successes that have been
stimulate to still further effort. And he warns strongly
against over confidence. He recalls the old adage,
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst as one
which fits the present situation accurately. The dan
gerous policy, he says, is to hope for the best and do
nothing. .. ~
not be questioned. The Allied armies are giving the
Hun a tremendous drubbing. They have been at It con-
tinuously for nearly two months, and instead Of there
being any sign of their exhausting themselves. their
blows are daily becoming heavier and the injury in
flicted on the enemy greater, The Germans are today
have retreated at any previous period of the war. The
German people cannot forever be deceived. The news
of disaster upon disaster to the German arms cannot
always be suppressed. And there are constantly in
creasing indications that in addition to the embattied
hosts Of civilization on the one side, they will have to

to IS very clear that the break that is inevitable can
not be ave::eo for very long.
The way to hasten the end is to keep up the fight
and not only to keep it up. but to go at it still more
But let us prepare for delays, for reverses, for positive
disasters, and in that way we will be able, to accomplish
the work which must be done. @

THE HERALD SERVICE FLAG.
POOR "SPORTSMANSHIP

1t is an abuse Of the word "sportmanship' to use It
in connection with anything that the Germans have
done in this war. Instances multiply themselves to show
that the Hun does not know the meaning of the word.
One Of these instances is found in the concerted action Of
Rhine cities calling upon their government to take steps
to bring to an end the bombing Of cities, and demanding
from the nation compensation for the injuries which
they have sustained in the raids by Allied airmen.
We have seen no account Of the people Of London
OF Paris calling upon their respective governments for
compensation for the injuries which they have sustained
at the hands of German raiders. There has been plenty
a form Of warfare, in which the weight of suffering
must, in the very nature Of things, fall upon the de-
fenseless. But, while they recognized the atrocity of
the acts to which they were being subjected. the people
Of the English and French raided towns, filed no claim
for damages against their respective nations. In each
copied what the fates and and the Germans thrust upon
them, and did the best they could.
Neither does it appear that the residents of the
Rhine towns found anything inhumane or immoral in
seems to make some difference who commits the atroci-
ties.
In the protest of the Rhine towns we have an ink
ling of the effect of carrying the enemy's style of war
fare into the enemy's own country. The way to make
air raiding unpopular in Germany is to raid Germany.
And that principle applies pretty much all through the
war;.

thought leaps quite easily and naturally from the pres
ent to the future, and inquiries. What then?"
Public ownership and operation Of railroads has
long been advocated by many persons. Many have urged
that the plan be extended to other lines OF activity and
still others have adopted the Socialist theory that the
government should run everything. Is there any good
reason why, II participation in the political activities OF
the day-in which all citizens are supposed to be inter-
the efficiency of a railroad man while we
are at war, similar activities will not equally initiate
in time OF peace? If that principle is to govern, If we
adopt public ownership Of the railroads as a permanent
policy, the railroad man Of the future will, perhaps. con-
tinue to have the right to vote, but he will have no voice
in shaping the issues upon which the voting is done.
Carry the idea a little farther, and suppose that we
add to the activities of the government the operation
Of the mills and factories. Naturally the employees OF
these institutions should also be debarred from political
parties. nor serve on. party committees, nor act as dele
gates to political gatherings. They could merely vote.
If, indeed. that privilege were left to them. Extend the
principle still farther. and adopt the complete Social
from farm to factory. Political activity, therefore.
would be denied to the entire popula,lon, for all would
be employees of the government. There would then be
no starting point for the government .tself, for without
