The latest development along this line to come out of Washington is the un- derstanding that licensing system modled after the English plan and covering business not concerned with War has been agreed upon by joint committee of iron and steel producers and war industries board. This proposal soon will come before the war indus tries board for adoption.

A quoted statement this week attrib uted to prominent mem Der of war industries board that 20 per cent of capacity will be left for nonwar demands accents the fact that such view is entertained in authori- tative circles. This estimate would mean probably 100000 tons of finished product annually.

Red Cross Workers Follow Wake of German Drive, Helping Noncombatants to Reach Safety Zones

A famous journalist of the preceding generation once defined his profes- sion as Knowing where -- is going to break loose next and having some one there to report it." It is breaking loose everywhere and almost all the time in western Europe these day. And the American Red Cross would excite the admiration of the noted editor, were he alvie today, if not by it's an- ticipation of new frightfulness cer- tainly by it's quickness in gettitng on the scene with it's relief workers
 That rescue work coincident with the start of the German grand drive III March, the evacuation of towns ana Villages in the midst of the drum fire bombardment. was a striking example Of the manner in which the American Red Cross takes hold of things that are outside the more or less beaten path of relief work. It is in the emer- gencies that the greater tests of ef- tleleney are presented, and it is meet ing emergencies that the marvels of Red Cross efficiency stand out In this case the beginning of the new offensive had been sensed: the ques- tion was where the bolt would strike.

STEEL SHORTAGE IS NATION. IS
 REPLOGLE OPINION
Thinks Demands of Govern ment and Allies Will Cut Off Nonessential h.
 dustries

Washington, June 5.-Data indicating that steel shortage exists and that the government and allied requirements will necessitate the virtual cutting off of nonwar industries from their steel supply, will be given the war indus tries board tomorrow by J. Leonard Re- plogle, director of steel supply of the board
 MT. Replogle will report the result oe a series of conferences he held last week with the joint steel committee of the American Iron and Steel Institute and the war industries board appointed to lied needs.
 It was said tonight that one of the chief factors in the situation is the vast extension of the American military pro- gramme. In addition the allies are ask ing for increasing quantities of steel plates and ordnance material. The steel mills already have on their books un- filled orders for steel approximating IT, 100000 tons, which is little more than half of the entire output for last year.
 Figures MT. Replogle will give the board tomorrow. however, do not include many anticipated requirements of the | ried out, it is said, but are confined to the orders already booked and the esti- mates made up to date.
 Opposition to any further curtailment of so-called nonessential industries has reached such proportions both from with in the government and the industries themselves. that doubt is expressed i'll some quarters that an immediate cur tailment will follow this reports
 Opinion among the members of the war industries board differs. Some profess to believe there will be sufficient steel to meet commercial requirements at least in part Others. particularly MT. Re- plogie, insist the government and the allies are going to take all the steei produced next year.
 In other branches of the government a like difference of opinion exists. One element holds that no radical curtail- ment should be made, chiefly on the ground that it will take from two to four years to get to Europe material now manufactured, ordered or in process of manufacture.

Increased Cost of Living

Increased Cost of Living Men are never so likely to settle question rightly as when they discuss it freely.
 Lord MacauIay. Practically everything has advanced in price on account of the war. Women have reconciled themselves to paying more for everything they wear The stores frankly state that their prices are higher than they were before the war.
 And what is true of wearing apparel holds good for the industrial world
 Today iron and steel and everything else that goes into the making of cars is greatly increased But MT. McAdoo knows that, even with the in- creased cost, transportation must go on and not long since he placed a gigantic order for freight cars.
 It's the same way in the trolley world Not only do cars cost ore but it costs much more to repair them than formerly
 It costs more for the upkeep of trackage
 And besides all this, just because living ex- penses are higher, street railways are paying their employees more wages. Practically every thing in the country has advanced in prices ex- cept street car fares and it is only question of time when the present 5c fare must be advanced Macaulay is right the way to settle question rightly is to discuss it freely, and from time to time we will place before your consideration facts that make necessary Sc car fare
