would stain its waves with such
toulness.
On the same day with the
news of the Ticonderoga we get
news of the Leinster, 408 lost
out Of $50, and the Hirana Maru,
300 missing. Along with the
drive new ferocity is injected in
to the war. on land and sea. In
time of peace, what a thrill of
horror would have run through
the world to hear Of the de
s|truction of a city like Cambria
nv fire or earthquake or flood !
It passes now as merely one of
the brutal gesticulations of the
German to emphasize his plea
for peace. The German Army
and Navy show us, as clearly as
they can, that in their minds
the peace plea is merely an at
tempt to gain time, TO deude
us into relaxing our efforts; as
for its ending the war in any
other way than by a German
victory, military or diplomatic
the slaughterers of the Ticon-
deroga have no idea for a mo.
ment.
This devilishness, now surely
without the ~pretense Of an eX.
cuse even from the German
standpoint, since nothing can bc
gained by it, raises seriously {
new question about the peac,
terms to be imposed. ThesI
crimes are no longer militar,
crimes, or in any real sense, in
cidents of war. They are mer
murders murders cOmmitte
I, for the love of murder; murder
such as have been committed j
time of wal by bushwhacker.
. and for which the bushwhacker
have been hanged. And it is
serious question whether peaC
+ should be made, on any term
. without provision being mac

FerOcitv Asks For Peace

At the moment when the Ger
man Government, DESTROYS Of
finding some way of extricating
its hard-pressed armies, pre-
tends to consider favorably the
Allies terms of peace, the Ger
/, man Army and Navy redouble
their trocities, out do all that
they did when the war was be-
ginning. Evidently they have
no belief in their Governments
pretenses, or Ney would draw
in their horn instead of goring
everybody in sight.
While the German press is
pretending to consider, in the
hearing of the Allies, whether
Germany was mistaken or not
IN launching unrestricted sub
marine warfare, the submarine
es themselves are so well salts
fled with it that they burst
forth with a new set of sea hor-
rors that rank with the worst
vi~llainies of 1915 and 1917. In
deed, for pure, ineXplicable di-
abolish, there is nothing that
overtops the sinking Of the I'll
conderoga. We know what
"spurlos versenkt' means, but
our imagination has had to fill
out the details in the cases of
ships that were sunk without
trace, and our imagination was
not equal to the task, Nov we
have the details, in the case of
a ship which the Germans tried
to sink "spurlos,' and from them
we can construct what has hap
pened in the cases of those
ships where every mar persisted
and there were no details.
Seventeen men escaped thu
otherwise "spurlos" sinking
While the ship was going dow
and the crew launching a boa
and raft, the submarine, whicl
had destroyed all the othe
boats, came up close, within

We read that British labor Is In an.
other OF its tantrums. We read also
that the Ministry Of Munitions, which
has jurisdiction in the case is resolved
this time to stand flrIn and see What
at the worst Will happen. None of
which Is new. II has been going on
for four years.
By British labor" is meant not all in
Great Britain who work with their
hands for the war and to sustain ex--
istence through the struggle OF what
Mr.. Balfour calls the forces OF heaven
against the forces Of hell. What is
meant Is that radical minority element
OF Englands industrial population
which thinks, and has been encouraged
to believe, that 1t deeply obllges Its
country by working for II. There IS
this element in the industrial popula-
tlon of every country. IL has been
more considered in England than else
where. The British government began
with the idea that although you may
command a citizen to give his life for
his country, you can only persuade him
to work That creates false values to
start with. We remember that in the
first year Of the war Arnold Bennett,
among others, wrote that II the work
ers threatened to "down tools there
was nothing for 1t but to yield to their
demands, because. Of course, you
couldn't shoot them.
From that counsel OF helpless ex-
pedlency II came at length to be ar
gued that labor had the right to Inn
prove its situation by exploiting the
country's dependence upon 1t for the
means to war-or that II II had not
that absolute right 1t would neverthe-
less assert II and nothing could be
done about It. And the rise in the po-
litical power OF the element that has
asserted the right has been very rapid.
The case Is intrlnsically absurd. In
The first year Of the war two million
British citizens volunteered TO give their
ives. In four years England, Wales.
Scotland and Ireland have raised for
service five and one-half mil
ions Of men. Out OF all the males In

Bond Subscriptions Must be
Influenced by Special War Taxes
lFrom the New York sum. ]

pect all of them or any of them 10 be
drained their incomes, their resources
and their credit to pitch in and buy
Liberty Bonds by the bale.
The New York district, truth TO tell
was hard put to 1t last fall to take the
bonds allotted TO It, because the New
York district was digging It's way
through mountains OF taxes specially
devised by Mr.. Kitchin to bury the New
York district. Pile more and more
taxes upon the New York dlstrict-snd
this Is the devoted aim OF Mr.. Kltchln
and the bond subscriptions In the
New York district Will come harder
and harder. There VIII be no help for
It because a more drastic and still more
drastic taxation drains the New York
districts sources OF revenue drler and
drier, there must be fewer drops to
trlckle for bonds or for anything else.
And yet the Treasury announcement
has come that the government Is going
TO ask bond subscriptions In October
much higher than ever before, perhaps
twice as high All the while every
bOdy's tax liabilities to the government
are running on and on and up and up.
Men don't know yet whether they will
take all the surplus that the taxpayers
have or only nearly all But they do
know that, whatever those taxes are to
be, whatever damage they are to do to
industry and business, however strap
ped they may leave the taxpayer, those
taxes Will date back to the first day
Of the year. They VIII have been run
ming for ten months when the bond
subscriptions close. They will have
run the full year when the payments
of the bond subscriptions are being
cleaned up. Those taxes then Will be
facing the industries, the businesses and
the men for whom Mr. Kitchin is now
arranging them.
Bond subscriptions in October next
must be influenced for better or for
worse by the tax laws now brewing In
the Ways and Means Committee. Il
Mr.. Kitchin and his committee want to
do the greatest possible harm they can
do to the nations glorious campaign In
France, they need only to make tax
laws that viii cripple the capacity OF
the country to take Liberty bonds.

PACIFIST LABOR
(From the New York Tribune.)

four has been flghting Germans on lana
or sea Yet. because the Ministry ol
Munitions. TO equalize the distrlDutlon
of skilled labor, forbids its going 10 ana
fro. from one district TO another ana
bsck again. az wages rise more IN one
Mace than another 100000 workers
threaten TO stop work and let the war
take care of itself. That Is not oil.
Thev hold meetings to denounce the
war and talk OF stopping the supply
OF munitions so that the government
will be obliged to make peace WIN '"o
enemy.
The Illumination Is at that point.
This recalcltrant element OF British laD-
or is AT heart against the war, or, rain
er. like the Russian Bolsheyiki, II Is
much more anti-capital than antl-Ger-
man. and much more interested IN us
selfish prosperity than In victory. IL
has kent an open asylum for pacinsts'
slackers and Bolshevlsts. Underlying its
present sense OF outrage at what Is
called the governments embargo on
skilled labor Is the fear that II the DIS
tribution OF labor is more economically
controlled many who have been NTH
tTlO lsIluuut Will UO tNhN~ -
and made TO fight.
What the British government has TO
deal with, therefore, is not serious
disaffectlon OF labor, as such, but the
wilful opposition OF a very radical
pacinst element that has become In
trenched in essential industries as In
labor.
In England, as elsewhere, labor 10
overw helmingly loyal and patriotic. II
this were not so England would have
failed In the war long ago. II II were
not so France could not have saved
the world for democracy. II 1t were
not so in this country we should not
be now in the thick Of the work az
Armageddon. England's rebellious lab
or minority Is more articulate and po-
lltlcal and troublesome than the CORE
spending element In this country. That
Is owing partly TO circumstances, part
ly to the fact that volunteering IN the
beginning diluted the spirit, and larses'
besides, TO the fact that in Great Brit
ain there was no Samuel Gompers.
