Beginning to Whimper

Chancellor Won Hertling's speech to
the Main Committee of the Rechstag
was full Of self f-pitying and self-eXcul-
patory phrases. 1t was a long lament
woven about the theme that Germany's
attitude and intentions since 1914 have
been cruelty and fatally misunderstood.
Hertling, the austere Bavarian philos-
opher, mingling his own oily pictism with
the brutal blood and iron cynicism of
Bismarck, keeps telling the world that
Germany's heart has always been in the
right place. Only untoward incidents
like the violation Of Belgian neutrality
and the spohation of Russia have created
the unhappy impression that Germany
drew the sword for other purposes than
those of righteous. self-defence Ger
many, SO the Chancellor has the elfron-
terry to assert, is a victim of persecution
and maign Misrepresentation. And
when she seeks peace of reason and
justice, he says, the Allied powers un-
generously treat her as if she were
proposing star chamber dicker on the
basis of the war map, out of which she
might hope to save some of her present
territorial spois.
1t IS a painful thing for a righteous"
German statesman to be snubbed when.
his pockets bulging with booty. he steps
forward and offers to enter a ''blind
pool peace conference German psv-
chology is peculiar. The Germans NAV
understand themselves. But their own
mental and moral limitations are such
that they can never enter inteliyentlv
into the thought of the rest of the world.
When Won Hertling says he is ready to
conclude peace without anneXations or
indemnities he thinks that the nations
at war with Germany ought to take him
at his word He thinks so even in the
face of the mournful experience of Rus
sia, which accepted the Reichstag no
anneXatlons, no indemnities resolution
at face value and then was ruthlesslv
dismembered and forced to pay a eigan-
tic war tribute.
The German never distrusts himself.

Subway Profits: 2O.3%o

TO the Interborough's stockholders and
to its president, Mr.. Shonts, we offer our
undivided compliments Where many
we'll managed traction companies are
threatened with great loss, in this period
of rising costs and deprecated dollar,
and where many other companies face,
or are now in, bankruptcy, the subway
last fiscal year with a comfortable 20.3
per cent earned clear on it's $35, 100000
of capital stock and 17la per cent paid
to the shareholders. We have General
Manager Hedley's public word for it
that the Interborough's service to the
more daily users of the subway will
agree. But the shareholders do not suf-
fer In a year of almost uneXampled
operating difficulties the company's net
earnings for the stock decline only from
26 per cent to 20.3 per cent. This is
sure that every straphanger will be
deeply joyed to know that his straphang-
ing privilege will not be cut off
There is only one fly in the oirtment
Federal excess taxes will this year be
very heavy. They may cut into next
years dividends rather seriously Where
fore we have a suggestion. If the share
holders are not going to have for the cur
rent year more than, say, II per cent or
Is per cent, owing to taxes, why should
not the company use some Of this money
it will otherwise pay in taxes to try to
provide service that is not precisely,
we use Mr.. Hedleys vivid language
"rotten"?
The company complains it cannot get
men or women to run its trains. Hence
the "rotten' service. Well, suppose it
paid little higher wages Even 25 per
cent higher would mean only about dol
lar a day, and that for 5000 employees
would mean only about $2,500,COO, or
about per cent, on the capital stock.
That, at the present basis, would still
leave II per cent for the shareholders.
We ask Mr. Shonts to think it over. A
six-cent fare, such as his company now
asks, would mean an additional S7.7OO,-
900, or nearly p per cent more on it's
stock. That on top Of this years pale
results would mean 42 per cent in all.
How much does Mr.. Shonts ask for CAPT
tai in these troubled times?

Our City Gardeners

When it comes to war gardens the
Borough of Manhattan has made fine
record. Last year there were 900 lot
gardens. This year the total is 1850
lot gardens and 600 backyard gardens.
The work was conducted under the aus
pces of the War Garden Committee Of
the Department of Parks, and was care
fully carried out under a chief super
visor and his assistants The value of
the produce raised was $22,385.
But no one can appraise merely in
dollars and cents the value of this war
garden movement. The motive of the
lot owners who permitted their lots to
be used, of the gardeners who cultivated
plots, of the committee and supervisors
who instructed the willing learners, was
patriotic desire to increase food pro-
duction. The greatest good Of all came
to those who worked in the open air and
had the pleasure of watching green
things grow, humbly assisting Mother
Nature

Brisbane and Others
IF'rom The Troy Record)


The Presidents secretary. Joseph P.
Tumulty, has been an ardent defender of
both Hearst and Brisbane and his cor
respondence with the latter is matter of
public record. Through his support of such
men Mr.. 1umuty has lost much of the
confidence in which he once was held. II
does not please a patriotic nation to find
close to the President maintaining
pleasant relations and showering -compli-
ments upon such marplotters as Hearst;
and Brisbane IS part OF the Hearst ma
chine.
1t is a mark of political progress when
such revelations as those Of A. Mitchell
Palmer and The New York Tribune bring
an instant response throughout the country.
The more sensitive the public conscience
the more ready will it be to assume new
and higher ideals Of service
Mr.. Brisbane, in accepting a partnership
in the Prussian scheme of "accelerating
opinion has sacrificed much of the respect
that he had won through twenty years Of
hard newspaper work in the metropolis.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-27

He knows that he can break his word
whenever it seems convenient to do so.
With him Il lie is an act of virtue if it
serves the state. But the rest Of the
world has found all that out. The
Allied powers have merely treated Won
Hertiing's assurances for exactly what
they were worth Never again, after
Brcst-Litovsk and Bucharest, will any
other government, dealing with the pres
ent German government. pay the slight
est attention to a German promise with
which ample security for faithful per-
formance is not offered in advance.
Won Hertling made pretence of re-
nouncing conquests-vaguely, of course,
and in words that carried no conviction.
But on the day after he had spoken to
the Rechstag Main Committee Vice
Chancellor Payer, addressing that same
body, bluntly declared that the Brest-
Litovsk and bucharest treaties must
stand. They must stand for the war, he
said. and must not be submitted for
revision to any general peace conference.
Certainly they will never be submitted
to peace conference if Germany can
prevent it. The Germans have no am
bition at present to secure peace through
reparation. Their only idea of peace is
a compromise through which they will
be able to retain the largest possible
percentage Of their ill-gotten booty.
Chancellor Won Hertling's whimper-
ing over the bad manners and heart
lessness of Germany's enemies would be
ludicrous if it were not tragic. The
tragedy of it lies in the impermcabilty
Of the German mind to the utter dis
appearance in the outside world of any
belief in German honesty, integrity or
moral selfrespect. The German recog-
nizes no law but compulsion. no arbiter
but the sword. He will submit to
peace of reason and justice and pay the
penalties for his crimes only when he
succumbs to that application of 'force
to the utmost to which the Allied ma
tions are now inexorably pledged.

The BreUers

fFrom The Christian Science Monttor)
The great majority Of American brewers
have been, and are to-day, men of Ger
man birth or cf immediate German an
cestry. completely out of sympathy with
American social ideals and political as
piratons They have meddled in and cor
rupted local and state politics; they have
interfered in legislation; they have ar
rayed themselves and their followers in
the liquor trade, and eXerted all the in
fuence they could purchase, or control
through intimidation, against the known
and pronounced wishes of the people
among whom they have sought residence,
hospitality and opportunity.
More than this, they have given sup
port to a propaganda and a conspiracy
intended eventually to overthrow the civil
ization which the great mass of Ameri-
cans, at the foundation of their nation.
elected to preserve and pcrpetuate, and to
substitute for it a civilization alien 70

1t is no surprise to people whose ewes

Keeping Your Food Bills Down
also an altar.

Labor shortage on the farm was al
ready acute before the war. Since Amer
ica's entry into the battle men have been
drawn away from the farm into the
army, into munition plants and other war
industries The burden Of producing
more food has been laid on the farmer
and he is left without help. The new
draft will still further compiicate mat
ters.
Who is going to take the place of the
men on the farm? The women of the
country. They have proven themselves
able and willing. This year there were
forty camps of the Woman's Land Army
in New York State, with. about two
thousand women workers. Next year
there must be two hundred camps, with
ten thousand women.
In order to establish these money is
needed. The camps are essential. They
safeguard the girl, give her proper care
and surroundings and insure her the
eight hour day. Girls will not go to
farms and live there alone. The farmers
do not want them in their homes. Their
wives do not want to have the bother of
caring and cooking for them. The camp
is the one ideal solution. The money is
needed to establish these camps in sani-
tary dwellings, give the girls proper food
and care and transport them in auto
trucks to and from their work
The farmers who have employed wom-
en- want them back-they are capable, in
telligent, skilful and willing, much better
than the old-time grade of unskilled farm
labor. There is a cry for them now
throughout the state. The reason the
Land Army cannot supply them is that it
cannot open, equip and maintain camps

been prominently loyal and patriotic, even
when other, newspapers OF the metropolis

practically alone in their battle in New

On This Altar

Back Of the army, back of the daring
and the dying is the nation. The nation,
the one hundred odd million people who
stay behind, is what the army is for It
is that for which the army fights and
dies. The army is deep in the crash and
smoke of battle because three thousand
miles away from it is nation of kim
dred people who hold precious the prin-
ciples of human freedom. The people
are a mind; the army a hand. The na-
ton is a belief, faith, a devotion to
fundamental things; the army is the in
strument to make them real, even in the
face of outrageous fortune and blasting
death.
1t is not enough to acquiesce, to give
consent for the battle and to let the
army go. The responsibility, the test and
assay of beliefs that have been so long
taken for granted, is only beginning. AS
the army fights tiercely and breathlessly
so will the nation have to give itself
flercely and breathlessly. Alone an army
Is only some men, armed but unpurposed.
With its own people behind it the army
lives, has a pulse and flaming spirit
and an ardor that will not fail or bend
before any bar to victory.
Out of this the Liberty Loan becomes
a symbol. 1t is the reflected image of
the peoples belief in human freedom, the
measure of nations faith. If it is a
tepid faith, cooled by many reservations,
the giving will be one of many rescrva-
tions- If it is a casual faith, d faith of
half acceptances, a faith put on and off
paltry giving. Only by prodigious sac
rifce, a giving until the body aches and
the soul is strained-even as the army
may be strained to the cracking point
only by utter surrender to the unstained
purpose can the peoples will to freedom
be made moving and portentous.
To the millions who fight the great
fight in France the Liberty Loan will be
a ringing word across the intervening
leagues. The Liberty bond is a bond in
more than one sense. 1t is the peoples

The plight in which Arthur Brisbane is
left must mean his exit from American
journalism. How it will be with William
Randolph Hearst, Brisbanes long time
employer, whose name is brought into this
matter, it may remain for the Senate in
vostigation to disclose. The policies of
the Hearst papers in dealing with the war
have been much criticised. He has been
charged with consorting with pro-Gcrmans
and his papers with being pro- German.
That might have been the work of mali
cious rivals But this would not explain
the presence of one of his attorneys on
the directorate Of Mr.. Brisbane's dis
credited corporation. Hearst is put under
new embarrassment by the exposure of
