 But however nicely the balance 1 may he held between these opposing views, the fact now is that the States
 right view is sustained by the majority
 of the United States Supreme Court. and the child labor law is therefore
 declared unconstitutional and ren-
 dered null and of no effect. It is an
 unfortunate decision and sets the
 wheels of legislation backward It is
 tnimical to public health, morality
 and safety. Not only does it en-
 trench safely behind their constitu-
 t1onal privileges the States which will
 not for q motive of special and
 wrongful advantage, afford to their
 children the protection from explOi-
 tation which the majority of the oth-
 CT States have granted. but it opens
 to the employers of children in dan
 eerous and hurtful ways the use of
 the facilities of interstate transpora-
 ton. It bestows upon the employers

 employers in other Sta tes. It is a na-

ever We will have the grea test fleet of merchantmen in the world and we will then take the place which right fully belongs to us, at the head of the list of sea-trading countries. The United States leads all other lands in general production, and it is only proper that we should have our own merchant marine to convey our goods to foreign shores and exploit markets for these goods in every quarter of the globe.
 At the same time. this new policy will deal another staggering blow to Germany. We commented recently on the importance of the gigantic strides made in this country during 1917 in the manufacture of coal-tar dyes. which we have always been compelled to procure from the Ger mans. Now we will not only be able to supply ourselves, but many other nations as well. and with a mammoth mercantile fleet ready to invade ter ritories hitherto monopolized exclu- sively by Germany, the United States will be dependent upon no foreign country in its international trade re- lations.

One method of getting around this child labor decision, it is suggested, will be to procure State legislation prohibiting the importation and use of products of child and prison labor so as to put them on the same basis as liquor in Southern prohibition States.
 Any attempt to amend the Consti- tuition of the United States so as to subordinate the Supreme Court to Congress will arouse a sectional quar- rel. It would clothe Congress with powers similar to those possessed by the British Parliam ent, which can override the judgment of the House of Lords, the Privy Council of the House of Lords, and all other courts within the Empire. Such a change in our Constitution would destroy the equilibrium of the executive, legisla- tive and judicial branches of our C4overnm ent and confer on Congress,
 in fact if not in name, power to change the Constitution by statute. Congress might welcome it's elevation to the commanding position occu- pied by the British Parliament which legislates without any check whatso- ever other than the will of the peo- plo.

FOCH'S COUNTER BLOW.

While giving ground on the right wing of his line, General Foch sur prised the Germans yesterday by de- livering a smashing counter blow on the left wing and at the center, re- capturing several towns as well as 1000 of the enemys troops. For every foot of ground given up, the Allied force exacted 8 terrible toll the front states in a, despatch that the Germans marched to the attack over a field which was literally car peted with their own dead. Their sacrifice of men is said to be the greatest in history, and General Foch can well afford to yield ground on such terms, inasmuch as what Is lost at one point is regained at another. There is no doubt now that Ger many's goal Is Paris, but there is also no doubt that before Hindenburg can attain his objective there will be suf- ficient Americans in action to stem the tide. An expert ventures the pre- diction that General Foch can hold out three to four months with the the expiration of that period of time. there will be 1.25O,000 American troops ready to spring into the breech. .
