Evolution in Fighting.
(BOstOn Globe.

Napoleon was wont to say that tac-
 tics changed every 10 years. The evo-
 lution in ways of fighting has so
 speeded up that in the greatest of all
 wars the transformation comes at least every 10 months.
 German tactical contributions have been in chemistry and cannon fodder.
 The French have led in the surpass- ing use of high powered and accurate machines. Their 75's are the best guns in Europe and in the hands of their masters have produced a cur tain of shells, a barrage, which may be dropped over a detachment Ot the foe to cut him off till the pOilus mop up the position, or thrown in front Of an advance to keep it safe until 1t reaches it's objective. American gun ! crews have proved such apt pupils 1 of their French instructors that word l comes of crack Yankee batterles l which can serve the 75's so fast that 1 captured German officers ask for a l look at the big new machine gun. The British have produced char1ots ] of fire Where the lay of the land 1 favors their use, tanks are the night 1 mare of the Germans opposite. For
 a brief space on the Somme in 1916 l crawling out of holes, knocking down trees and crushing machine guns, l thrilled the world. Last Autumn at 1 Cambrai they had better test. Just 1 at dawn, without artillery preparation l a line of monsters tlopped over the l top toward the enemy positions. It | was no fault of the tanks that the 1 promising Cambrai salient was later
 narrowed until 1t could no longer be l held.
 The glory in the tanks is in the l future. Thoy are multiplying fast. The offensive of 1919 will see ! American-made and AmeriCan-man- ned tanks swarming toward the Rhine as f1ivers swarm toward the beaches 1 on a 30th of May.

THE LUSITANIA.

Judge Julius Mayer, of the federal district court of New York, has ruled khat the Cunard company is blameless For the loss of the Lusitania, declar- ,ne that the Imperial German govern sment alone can be held responsible for the crime which shocked humanity. Judge Mayer finds that the Lusi- tania was well equipped to cope with the usual contingencies which may arise at sea and terms her a ship of unimpaired and unmistakable chara2- acter." Furthermore she carried no explosives. This official denial of Ger many's perennial claim to the con- trary is worthy of special note.
 The Hun press was instructed at the time of the disaster to lay special em- phasis upon the fact that, inasmuch the Lusitania was armed and car ried explosives, passengers who sailed upon her did so at their own risk and that the German government could not be held responsible if she were
 
 gone"
 One German agent who swore sol smnly that the ill-fated ship was armed has long since been indicted and sentenced to prison for perjury. The charge that explosives were aboard has also been refuted beyond the shadow of a doubt by the publica- ton of a copy of the ships manifest.
 It will be remembered that Ger many also tried to justify the sinking of the Lusitania on the grounds that a
 warning had been published in news pnpers, prior to her date of sailing eurd contention is dismissed by the

President and Senator.
Springfield Republican)

Senator Vardaman's opponent in the Mississippi primaries is Represen- tative Harrison and MT. Harrison's S chances of success were excellent a week ago, according to our corre- spondent at Greenwood, MT. George. Since his letter was written the Pres Senator Vardaman'S reelection, with the very stiff pronunciamentO that he would consider the Senator's indOrse- ment at the polls as a condemnation of my Administration" If the Dem ocrats of Mississippi return MT Vard- aman to Washington after such an explicit statement by the President, there will be no escape from the in terpretation already prepared in ad- vance by MT. Wilson himself. And why isn't that the truth of the mat ter? Mississippi could not have re- elected Vardaman in any event with out expressing disapproval of the sali- ent policies of the Administration. Vardaman has been oftener in oppo- sition to this Administration than MT. Foraker was to the Roosevelt Admin istratiOn and when President Roose- welt exerted all his influence in Ohio to have MT. Foraker defeated for re- election to the Senate in the fall of 1908 and the winter of 1908-1909, he was fighting of course for a vindica- tion of himself and his policies.

der p years of age. A majority of them come from the smaller cities and towns, and from the rural dis tf1ctS. Just as their physical and moral health and strength while at nome was due in large measure to their training and environment, so now their efficiency as soldiers must continue to depend not alone uDOn. themselves but on the care and at- tention of others. This care and at- tention cannot now be given bv thei,, own home folks. TLe home folks must pass along their activities, but not their responsibility, to the Army and Navy Commissions on Training Camp Activities.
 Tn order that the home influence. the home atmosphere, may be present in war camp communities, the Gov ernment has called to its as- sstance War Camp Community Service. The business Of this Sery ice is to furnish an environment that is good; one that is normal, whole some and healthy. Without such q, force bringing this influence to bear directly in every community near which our boys are camped CT to which they come, there would spring up and flourish to the utmost all around them all of the traditional community evils. Saloons, gambling houses, dives, redHght districts, prof. teers and eXploiters would most cer- tainly flourish, Every description of iackall and camp-fOlloWer that has been the bane of the soldiers life in the past would find that they could operate without any organized OppO- sition, were no such agency as War Camp Community Service in the field.
 Do the people Of this country real ize that practically every one of these evils-as baneful in a way to the sol- dier's life as the enemy himself have already been conquered here at home, and that in this work there is no more effective force than War Camp Community Service? It's value to the community. can never be esti- mated in dollars and cents. It is one grand magnificent invitation to every Fne quality, to every fine instinct in

The Power of the Future.
= (New York HeraldO

The suggestion of MT. McAdoo to replace electricity for locomotives on all the railways is probably prema- ture. When the great war power of the country is developed and every stream and waterfall contributes to the mighty force this dream of today will possibly become a practicality
 Scarcity of coal was what prompted the original suggestion, and that scarcely will increase while untold wa ter power is going to waste all over the country. The success that has attended the electri1ication of hun dreds of miles of the St. Paul has strikingly demonstrated the greater efficiency and economy of the electric locomotive, particularly in mountain Ous regions.
 With the return of peace and res toration of the labor supply the work of harnessing the vast water powers of the country will be pushed to com pIetion. The force to drive railway trains and factories will be taken from the surface of the earth and the delvine for fuel will be reduced to a minimum.

 There are signs of unusual perturha- ton in Bulgaria. Anxiety has been evident for some time and it's origin has been traceable to doubt of the ui- innate success of German arms This seems now to have grown to dread If Germany is about to fall, how shall Bulgaria escape involvement in the ruin? Car Ferdinand wishes to get out of the way when his war lords ponder ous military machine is being smashed lie does not feel well. Mental strain' cOmpels his retirement for a time from the cares of the throne So runs the announcement made by his command And the weary monarch adds that his place of rest and recuperation will be Nauheim, the German village of saline springs and baths It may all be true. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" But the opinion of diplomats whom he has outwtted seems to be that Ferdinand lies with ease. When the Fox of the Balkans retires from the public exercise of his mOnarchial functions, beware. He Is never more active than then.

A Place For Strikers.
Boston Evening Transcrfpt)

(Boston Evening Transcript
 The temper of some of the men who are striking is illustrated by an incident at Bridgewater. The cutters in certain factory, who thought they were not getting enough wages were offered by the company for whom they worked a weekly wage of $3O.50. This offer the men rejected and thereupon packed their kits and left the factory. Was the offer fair or not? No impartial authority answers this question. The men answer 1t themselves, as they might in time of peace, by quitting their work and en- dangering the supply of shoes to our army in France. If this is not wrOn Q and disloyal, we do not know what could be. Let the men who thus take matters into their own hands do so if they will, but let the next thing for them be a little experience of soldier ing in Picardy, possibly with a broken pair of shoes.

#d by military reverses which de- ch coal fields, fertile agricultural #stricts, and splendid manufa curing 8nters have all suffered untold losses trough the war, and yet it requires snly little ray of hope to buoy up
 gain the spirit of France.
 < Premier CIemenceau has given ex-
 ression to this hope burning now ore brightly than ever in the hearts
 his countrymen. For the first
 me since the outbreak of war so
 lr as we can recall, the spokesman
 France has declared victory to be \ Sithin the grasp of the Allies. Here
 bfore France has been satisfied to .eep on fighting and hoping, without lying to keep up her peoples morale |v pointing out the goal in the near |uture She knew too well that, until numerical superiority and a united ommand were on the side of the En- lante, any goal of victory which might Ippear momentarily on the horizon, would prove to be but a mirage, which would so disappoint her peo- ble. when it failed to accomplish a (ealization of their hopes, that they |vound be plunged into fatal dispair. Now, however, Premier Clemenceau bsserts positively, enthusiastically, hnd withal calmly, that the tide has turned and that henceforth the march bf Allied troops will be in one direc- lion only-Onward! And the people Df France are already beginning to -ae the rainbow which means that the worst part of the storm is past

The Woodford Sun, one OF the lead
ing newspapers of Versailles, KY, has
this to say of DR.. Harry p. Taylor:
High among the citizens of Wood
ford county who have distinguished
themselves in war work, ranks the
name of DR.. H. PR Taylor, coIored
physician of Versailles. The splendid
patriotism shown by the colored peo-
pie of Woodford and their very hand,
some contributions to the Red Cross
and other war work, have been in
spired as much or more by the fine
spirit of DR.. Taylor than by that of
any other one leader among them.
The people of Maysville are proud,
but not surprised to hear this said of
her honored son. DR.. Taylor was
born and reared in this city. He grad
uated from the Colored High School
of thit city, attended Booker Wash
ington's school at Tuckegee, Alabama,
and graduated from Meharry Medical
College at Nashville, tennessee. He
was educated in these later colleges
by the late DR.. Pickett of this city.
