Something

"Tests which have recently been ap-
piled in France and England to the lat
est American engine" reads an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from London,
"have justified the prediction that it
would prove a most valuable contribu-
tion to the Allied resources, and the
United States can go ahead and push
its production with every confidence"
The engine referred to is the Liberty
motor, the most maligned war product
of this country's industrial genius. Will
Gutzon Borglum please attend? Only
year ago it was the opinion of many
foreign experts that the Americans
could not make airplane motors at all
for lack of high mechanical skill. And
the fact that American manufacturers
talked of producing airplane motors in
quantity, like automobile engines, by
automatic machinery, only proved how
little they knew about it. Now the for
eign word is that the United States can,
go ahead and push production with con-
fidence. The engine serves. 1t is some
thing-nothing for us to boast Of, but
still something.

The French Flag

Every American has his Star-Spangled
Banner by this time and has flown it.
We shall all wish to fly it on the Fourth
of July. We shall all wish to unite in
making Independence Day great cele-
bration, of cheers for our men in uni
form, of fresh dedication to the great
cause for which our country fights.
But do not forget that the 1ndepen-
dence Day of France is coming on July
Ia and that it is to be celebrated from
one end of our country to the other.
Our oldest friend and ally is France. We
long ago learned to love her. 1t is
veneration that we have come to feel in
these dark days Of her trial, of her
stanchness, of her indomitable courage.
We shall all need Tricolor to float
from our fag-poles on the 14th of July.
No formal celebration will be complete
without this general decoration. Its
colors are the same as our own banner.
1t symbolizes the same aims, the same
cause in this world war for civilization.
1t will be an honor to fly it on that
great day Of our ally as token of our
affection and in prophecy of her great
victory to come.

The Best War Pictures

Do you read the "citations of the gen.
eral commanding troops on the French
front to which Americans are attached?
If not you are missing the best and most
vivid accounts Of the war that come un-
der the sea. We say this with due re-
gard and appreciation Of those some
what more detailed chroniclers, Philip
Gibbs, of "The New York Times; !;
George Patullo, of 1.-THE Saturday Even
ing Post" and our own Wilbur Forrest.
Words are scarce article with this
distinguished author. The general COM
manding" has the barest, stiffest facts
before him, sets them down and let's it
go at that. You have to use your imagi-
nation for the rest, exactly as before a
vigorous sketch that omits all detail but
hits you in the eye with the few essen
tial strokes. AS a matter of personal
taste, we think the best of Mondays
batch was the following:
Sergeant R. R. Observation-Disclosures
before fight, insisted on going forward
with his section; buried by she'll, re-
mained at work until the end.'
Maupassant seldom did better, and we
feel inclined to back it against all the
pages that Henri Barbusse ever wrote.
A little more extravagant in the num-
Der of words, but almost as effective, is
this:
"Private Axel Jermason-W Wounded
but refused to quit; acted as loader for
automatic rifle until too weak to con-
tinue; ordered to the rear, picked up the
rifle of wounded man and fought in the
trenches until the enemy was repulsed"
Or, if you want the more sensational
achievement, the kind of thing that con-
servative souls feel "only happens in the
movies," there is this:
"Private William R. Cox-For captur-
ing seven German prisoners single hand
ed after advancing 800 yards into the
woods ahead of his comrades"
And the coldly literary point of view
is very difficult to maintain toward such
an item as this:
"Private Franklin P West-Carried a
message through violent bombardment;
told when he volunteered that he prob
ably never would get through alive"
1t may be guessed from the citation
that Private West did get through alive,
and we are thankful accordingly. Could
any writer, living or dead, add anything
to this sufficient statement? We run over
the list from Arthur Guy Empey back to
Julius Caesar and think not.

Peace Shock

A soldier who leaves the uproar of
the front-line trenches for q rest far
behind the line is glad enough to get
there for many excellent reasons. But
sleep is not the first blessing that comes
to him. That is the testimony Of many
observers, latest among them the re-
Gently returned wife of an American
correspondent quoted in "The Evening
SUM-" She found the blazing street
lights and unshuttered houses and a
moon all resplendent. with no sirens
wailing, real shock to her nervous sys-
TEN. She understood the point Of view
of the war correspondent who was kept
awake by the crickets and nightingales
at the chateau where he lived and who
had to get back to the front amid the
boom Of guns to enjoy good nights
rest.
Exaggeration? Not essentially, it
would seem. Whatever the weaknesses Of
the human system, its power Of adjust
ncnt to the most extraordinary and
abnormal conditions is marvellous. The

Saving at Both Ends

Discussing with the Merchants Asso-
clatlon its endeavor to prevent pollution
of the Hudson River by trade wastes
from mills along it's banks, Conservation
Commissioner Pratt has revealed a Gu
rious condition. The pollution of the
river has cost the state much wealth
through the loss of an important fishing
industry. The sturgeon is gone: the
striped bass and the shad are almost
gone. Yet the trade wastes which have
caused this loss to the state may them
selves in many cases be made sources of
profit to the manufacturers who now per-
NIT them to continue to kill off valuable
fish life.
This is not theoretical observation on
the part of the Commissioner. In his
endeavors to prevent stream pollution he
has found many mill owners willing to CO.
operate with him. In two of these cases
engineers and chemists devised means of
handling the waste matter formerly dis
charged into the states waters with a
resultant profit. One company has man.
aged to extract oil from the waste and To
bake the solids into coke for it's furnaces.
so that although the investment was
heavy 10 per cent return is paid on it.
What these manufacturers have been
able to do others equally farsighted and
puollc spirited might we'll do. They
should have double incentive. for if
tney succeed they will make money for
themselves and save for the state one of
Its valuable natural resources, now en-
oangered-a resource especially irnpor-
tant now, when fish is being relied on to
take the place Of meats in the wartime
diet.

Canal Rates and Canal Use

Since the taking over of the barge
canal system by the Federal government
there has been much to-do over the CUES
tion of rates and alleged exclusive oper-
alton which seems by no means warrant
ed. A group of hippers-commercia
bodies and individuals-is agitating for
reduction of rates to make the differ
entail between rail rates and water rates
equal to what it was before the canal was
taken over. The canal rates, recently
announced by Mr.. Smith, regional di-
rector of Eastern railroads, are now
lower than the railroad rates. But the
rates for water-borne freight do not in
clude terminal charges, whereas the rail
rates do, so the former are not so low as
they seem.
The real point involved, it seems to us,
is not the question of cost, important as
that may be to shippers and the general
public, but the question Of use Of the
canal. The Federal government is build
ing fleet of barges. The State of New
York, which had the opportunity to make
an appropriation for state fleet, and
was urged to do so by Senator Sage, did
nothing. Private interests which ordl-
narily would have built barges have been
unable to do so because of high labor
costs, inability to get material and the
like. The net result is that the Federal
government will have boats on the canal.
hauling freight, where otherwise this tre-
mendously expensive and important wa
terway would be used only scantily, and
so would fail of. its worth as an aid to
the overburdened railroads of the coun-
try.
General Wotherspoon, State Superin-
tendent of Public Works, recently point
ed out that Federal operation of tho
canal system was undertaken at the ur-
gent request Of the canal officials and
commercial bodies Of the state Mr.. Tom
linson, general manager of the New
York canal section of the railroad admin
istration, declares that the Federal gov
ernment is not only not opposed to pri-
vate operation of barges, but encourages
1T, in couple of instances having sublet
government barges to private operators.
Moreover, it appears that while the rates
fixed by the government are maximum.
there is nothing to prevent private oper-
ators from making lower rates if they
choose, though the Administration ex-
presses the hope that so far as possible
private rates will be the same as those
for government barges. Thus there is
not, as yet, anything like stoppage of
real and genuine competition in canal
operation or Competition with the rail-
roads.
1t is essential that the canal be used
to the full extent Of it's carrying ca
pacity. Every ton Of water-borne freight
relieves to just that extent the over
taxed railroad facilities Of the country,
which must be relied on for transport Of
troops, munitions and the like. The gov
ernment. by building barges which could
not otherwise be put on the canals, has
given to shippers the opportunity to CO.

stabilizing itself on approximately the
lines of the two armies before the Aus
trians launched their attack. If this con-
dition prevails then our estimate of the
Italian victory at the Piave will have to
be that it was a magnificent defensive
battle, followed by a prudent refraining
from any dangerous offensive until the
inevitable second enemy blow had been
parried. This does not diminish the brill
lance Of the Italian achievement; this
does not lessen it's value at this time,
but it should lead to caution in predict
ing an immediate collapse of Austrian
armies.
The Piave was defensive victory of
proportions vastly greater than First
Ypres. 1t saved Venice and Venetia
and it gave new hope and confidence to
all the Allied publics. But it was not,
so far as one can now see, decisive
battle in the sense of destroying the
defeated army or driving it out of the
ground it occupied before the battle be-
gan, and in this it suggests an obvious
comparison with our own Gettysburg.
We have had to wait a week to be sure
Of this, but all indications now at hand
point to a resumption by the Italians
OF the defensive for the time being, and
there are many signs pointing to a new
enemy assault, this time furnished with
German spearhead, as in the Caporet-
