INDUSTRIAL AND FINANCIAL
 TOTALS THAT ARE ASTOUNDING

A New York financial authority makes the following statement of the present in- dustrial and financial side of the war:
 Tremendous activity exists in every line of industry connected with the war. prov ing the energy and determination in which this country is conducting the struggle Steel of course leads in importance, because 1t Is the most essential material in war, The government is steadily expanding its quota of the output; and only small per centage IS granted for other purposes. The largest tonnage at present Is for ship steel but the orders fer all war materials are upon a growing scale. The Steel Corporations earnings for the last quarter were simply phenomenal, amounting to 53,0000 900, of which over S90,000000 will go to the government in taxes Steel wages have again been increased, and are now double what they were in 1915. Textile industries are correspondingly busy, and though not making such extraordinary profits are still enjoying much prosperity. For all raw materials there IS an excellent demand; and while scarcity Is often less pronounced than during the early stage of the war, prices are maintained at high record. Wages are generally advancing; costs of production rise in consequence; then the demand for still more wages Is repeated, and so the serious practice runs on. Apparently noth- ing can stop this rising tendency of prices except exhausted buying power and imper- alive economy. The latter IS already ap- bearing, sometimes as a patriotic neces- sity, but chiefly because in many families buying power IS on the decline, luxuries are entirely omitted, and in many instances the consumption of essentials Is materially cur tailed Economy, however, IS not popular either with those enjoying war profits or war wages; and war industries will certain ly be active for months to come. It should be remembered that the bulk of the SEA- 000, 900, 900 which this government ex- poets to raise by loans and taxation during the present fiscal year will be almost en- tirely spent in this country. The tide of war imitation is still running strong, in spite of more frequent reactions.
 The Ways and Means committee at Washington Is actively at work drafting a new tax bill Almost daily statements as to what Is proposed are given out for the evident purpose of inviting criticism and testing public opinion. Not less than $8000, 100000 of revenue is claimed to be
 wanted for the fiscal year. It IS hoped to raise about $3,O0O,OOOOOO of this sum from excess profits taxes; but that source of revenue has already been largely util- ized. Hence many new taxes seem likely to be applied and others heavily increased; but the schedules are far from decided upon and discussion will probably scale down some of the most radical proposals so that there is good reason to hope for simpler and more rational bill than the one existing The public, however, may as well be pre-

Trotsky, the little rat faced bolshevik minister of war, Is reported to have issued an edict declaring France and Eng land his enemies. Our allies can well be proud of their enemies.

Bending over the cots of the wounded American soldiers in the field hospitals be- hind the lines,- the attendants heard cons tantly repeated this one refrain: We can lick 'em; those Dutch are no fighters when you get up to em; man for man and gun for gun we can beat 'em every day. In delirium and pain; in anguish, speaking with twisted lips; slightly wounded and speaking with grim smile, the doughboys, over and over again, kept saying, We can lick 'em. The ruling passion, strong in death and strong in life, possessed them. They had met the Prussian in full force, hand to hand, at odds and ovens, up hill and down, in wood and on open plain, and had fought him to standstill and finally drove him back, had these new and untried troops from the states and the fact blessed them. The thought of it predominated all fear and pain and fatigue. It was their glory song after the fight was done. A wonderful song It thrills from French battle plains to every city spire and country lane in America.
