SEEDS FOR FUTURE WARS.

In every announced arrangement for
separate peace between the Germans
and the countries on their eastern front
may be discerned the promise of future
war. Peace with Russia, with the Baltic
provinces left in German possession !:
with Ukraine, looking to a further parti-
tIon OF Poland with Rumania at the
price OF Russian territory; all these moves
are announced, and none of them but
promises trouble 10 come In. each the
imposition OF the power Of the conqueror
on the will of the conquered is the basis
on which order is to be restored, on all
terms finally of advantage TO Germany
In the struggles between the smaller
peoples, sure to follow such a settlement,
the German would have little or no
interest, save TO renew the profitable
practice OF selling arms 10 both sides
Those provinces left under German dom
nation may find in the past a promise
of their future This is why the German
plan for peace Is impossible. America is
concerned in the map of Europe only
70 the extent that it's arrangement will
affect the stability of whatever ADJUST
Inent OF world relations follows this war.
German plans as at present outlined do
not forecast such stability, and very likely
will be so regarded when the time for
settlement comes Omaha Bee

THE BOLSHEVIk REQUEST.

Dispatches that tell Of the request
Of the Bolshcviki leader Trotzky for
american aid in building up an army
and for American engineers TO develop
the transportation that is in bad condI-
ton, state that the offer was made for
Americans and Allies to investigate for
themselves the stores Of arming Tcuton
prisoners This the Bolshevik leaders
denounce as a story Of German circulation
10 encourage The entrance of Japanese
and To discrcdit the Soviets
Just where the logic hes in this is
bard To discover, unless the Germans
are indulging in fantastic nightmare
tactics IL would seem more responsible
10 assume that the tardv ovcrtures of the
Bolsheviki 10 the Allies Is an effort To keep
out the Japanese in the interest Of Ger
many But without going that far the
question of the sincerity of the Bolsheviki,
the naming of ten Americans To inspect
the creation of new army would not
create considerable force or afford
very definite field Of usefulness The
American engineers nigho very well do
work to which the Germans would pro-
fitahly enter But as there have been a
couple Of agents of this country and Eng
land dispatched 10 investigate as sug-
gested bv Trotzky 1t is preslunable they
will receive clear views and be prepared
to make recommendations upon their
return. In the mean while the Germans

BRITAIN AND BUSINESS.

England is saving rs never before.
LUXURY buying has almost disappeared.
Business has been completely readjusi ed
to the situation created by the war.
And yet business Is still good In Great
Britain, according TO II. Gordon Self
ridge one of London's big merchants,
The readiustment has meant the
shifting of labor and business activity
from the less essential 10 the more essential
industries. The more essential ones are
naturally those that produce the necessi-
ties of war But thi does not mean that
the less essential industries and other
organizations and investments have gone
by the board They have simply turned
TO more essential forms of production.
For instance, "phonograph factories
are now turning out delicate shell parts,
Jewelry manufacturers are making perl-
scopes. watchmakcrs are adjusting fuses, a
baking machinery plant is now man,ifac-
turing high explosive shells" and So on
through a long list In brief, every
body ls at work, producing more and
earning more than ever before, but the
output is war necessities
After nearly four years Of war II Is
changed industrial and commercial
Britain that we see, but ono that Is
still prosperous according To accepted
ST tandards The nation is saving and the
great majority are better able 10 save -

More Than a Pity BIunder.

The Morning News considers II ''great
pity" the extraordinary session Of the
Legislature was ever called 1t is more
than pity-it has proved a great blunder
No doubt our neighbor knows why the
special session was called It was to oblige
interests that would rather see the country
suffer reverses in war than give up their
own pet desire IN legislation. The ses-
sion was called mainly for the purpose
of ratifying the Prohibition Amendment
10 the Federal Constitution, a question
that should have gone before the people
before being acted upon by the Legs
lature
But ID order to make IL appear this
was not the sole purpose OF the special
session, the so-called war measure was
brought forward and rushed through
the House. II has struck snag in the
Senate, and today is a dead measure
Also, its introduction has set the two
factions of the Republican party by the
ears, and they are now snarling at each
other in the halls Of legislation
This is where the blunder comes in,
and il is proving serious one Ii is
altogether probable Governor Townsend
is sorry today for having called this spe-
cial session.

THE MAKING OF A FRIEND.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

We nodded as we passed each day,
And smiled and went along otir way
! knew his name, and he knew mine
Bnt neither Of us made q sign
! Int we possessed n common tie.
VIC barely spoke rs we passed by.
How fine he was ! never guessed
The splendid soul within his breast
! never saw From me was hid
The many kindly deeds he did.
His gentle ways | didn't know
Or ID have claimed him long ago
Then trouble came TO me one day
And he was first To come and say
he cheering words ] longed to hear.
lie offered help, and standing near
felt our lives in sorrow blend,
My neighbor had become my friend.
How many smiles from day TO day
! We missed along my narrow way;
How many kindly words I've lost,
What JOY has my Indifference cost
This glorious friend that now ! know
Would have been friendly years ago.
! he bud but very little shows
10 tell the beauty of the rose,
And HIM We greet i'll passing by
With scarce n nod, the day we Sigh
May blossom, rs the storms descend
With all the beauty of friend.

PRESS COMMENT.
PROGRESS IN WAR FINANCE.

As almost unanimously passed by the
House, the bill to create q War Hnnnco
Corporation differs in certain important
respects from the bill Us adopted by the
Senate.
The proposed corporation is still to
have a capital Of $5O00O0,0OO but its
total allowable credit issue has been cut
by the House from $4,000, 100000 TO
81, ,OOO, ,OO0, 900. This, however, is Of less
consequence than the changes which limit
the corporations paper To short-term
maturities like commercialpaperin instead
of to terms rs long as FIVE years, and which
give a preference to commercial paper
in discounts at the Federal Reserve
Banks over the paper offered for discount
on the security Of the corporations
issues.
What the corporation aims TO do
chiefly is to broaden the availability Of
long-term securities like railroad aud
industrial bonds in obtaining cash for
current uses. As an example, the savings
banks, whose deposit funds are locked up
In bonds and real-esiate mortgages and
which may face large Withdrawals Of
deposits to invest in Liberty loans, cannot
realize on these assets in the present
market save at heavy losses. But with
the War Finance Corporation in existence,
the savings banks can get the corporations s
notes on such assets, and with the notes can
obtain from the Federal Reserve Banks
money with which TO meet deposit with
drawals.
So far, at least, there is general agree
ment in favor of the pending bill. Its
essential purposes have not been amended
out of the measure by the House, and an
early agreement in conference Is TO be
expected. New York World.

The Governors Defiance.

Legislature, now in progress AT Dover.
lie claimed be was acting in conjunction
with the national authorities al Wash
ington, and aiding them in their CAM
paign for national defence.
But Governor Townsend must now
realize that he made q great mistake in
calling a special session Of the Delaware
Legislature for any purpose. lie had
merely TO refer To the joint resolution
adopted by the regular session Of 1917,
and therein he would have found ample
authority to cooperate with the national
administration TO the limit in All measures
for national and State defence, and 70 do
all things that might be necessary for
effective and cordial operation.
Governor Townsend cannot Justly
find fault with the State Senate for re-
fusing 20 consent TO the outragcously
auocratic and impolitic measure which
the House Of Representatives passed
with so little consideration at his bidding
He cannot blame the State Senate for
refusing TO impose such an astounding
inflction upon the people Of Delaware.
lie has his hands free in cooperating
with the Federal government in all mea-
surcs for State and national defence
under the joint resolution adopted by
the General Assembly Of 1917. Let
him now ask this useless special session
TO adjourn sine die.
Those who 50 insistently importuned
Governor Townsend TO call special scs-
sion of the Legislature for the purpose
OF ratifying the Prohibition Amendment
to the Federal Constitution care nothing
for the difficult and disturbing position
in which the governor now finds himself
They have got all they asked for. 10 far
as they are concerned, the governor may
damn himself, personally and politically,
and they Will not have the slightest con-
Germ. He has served their selfish pur-
poses. and that is all they asked of him.
But as to future considerations,
that is something else. The
governor clearly has got himself into a
hole. II Is up to him to cxtricate bim-
self as best he may. His prohibition

JAPANESE IN SIBERIA.

A plausible though unofficial report
has il that the Japanese are about TO
intervene in Siberia TO save that remote
part OF the Russian Empire from the
horror Of Bolshevik anarchy. Japan s
allies should raise no objection to such
course. 1t would be dictated by hl-
manity, for already the chaos in Siberia
has brought terrible suffering TO the peo-
Pile An army under Cossack general
declines 10 accept Bolshevik authority
while the Rcd" forces, quite unrestrained
by the lax control which the feminist
leaders exercise over their mlnions in
Europe, spread terror and devastation
wheverever they gain an ascendancy.
Hitherto Japan has been chary OF TAX
ing any action which might be construed
as interfering with the plans Of her
European Allies. Even when 1t was neces-
sary to intervene at Nladivostok to pro-
tect japanese and American shipments the
Japanese did not act till Great 1rtain
sent warship to participate in the dem
onstration. In Siberia it is needful TO
use land forces, and neither Great Britain
nor any other Allied nation has land forces
available in the far east. If the Siberian
horror is TO be brought TO an end, Japan

The commissioner invokes the aiC

received yesterday by Deputy Collector
SCHNEIDER follows:
Through its educational campaign
the bureau of internal revenue has en-
dea vofed to cover the field so thoroughly
that ignorance of the Law cannot be con-
sIstently offered as an excuse, said
Commissioner Roper. The press, the
four-minute men, the State and county
councils OF national defense, the field
forces OF the department Of agriculture

postofiices and hundreds of volunteer
agencies have oooperated in bringing home
TO the taxpayer his duty.
The man who failed to register under
the selective service act was regarded by
the War Department as a Stacker anu
prosecuted as such The man who fails
to file his income tax will be regarded as
money Stacker, and, when discoy cred,
as he will he. will be made to suffer full
penalties of the law.

Justly and equitably. The rate is fixed
so that the rich man and the man OF
moderate means are assessed, each accord

excuse that his neighbor escapes what he
Is made to pay. Therefore, 1t is incumbent
upon all good citizens 10 aid in carrying
