LARGER USE OF WATER POWER.

Tn recent address before the Georgia
Bankers association, Francis M. Sisson, vice
president of the Guaranty Trust company, OF
New York City, predicted a larger use OF wa
ter power in this country and abroad. tie an
ticipated a labor shortage after the war, ana
said that one direct result of it will be the los
tering of inventions, particularly in labor-sav-
ing devices. Not less important in its bear
ing upon industrial development will be the
search for new and undeveloped sources OF en-
ergy Hydro-electric power will be used on a
greater scale than ever before. In fact this
movement has already begun in this and IN
other countries, and Mr. Sisson points out that
Norway and Sweden are converting water
power into the equivalent of four hundred
thousand horsepower. In this connection at
tention is called to striking Illustration OF the
German habit of making the most Of natural
resources. Germany has been using practical
" all her water power since the war began
thus saving an enormous quantity of coal. In
Russia. on the other hand, tremendous re-
sources remain undeyeloped, and the country
has, it is estimated, thirteen million unused
horsepower in the rapids and waterfalls OF I'M
portant industrial and metallurgical districts
Our own government has shown signs OF APP
probation of the Importance of developing wa
ter power It has appropriated twenty million
dollars to utilize power in the Tennessee river
to obtain nitrogen from the air. But we nave
made little more than a beginning IN tins dlrec-
ton and, as Mr.. Sisson says, hundreds Oh
thousands of horsepower await governmental
consent and investment impulse in this country
and its possessions There should be no
more delay on the part of the government,
which has no right to check the investment I'M
pulse'' by refusal to cooperate with business
interests.

him and others before many days.
Mr.. Ford adjourned his politics
and pacifiism some time ago. Per-
haps he will be more useful in the
senate than in industry, where great
things have been accomplished by
him. Perhaps no straightout republi-
can candidate can hope to defeat
him at the polls Perhaps also the re-
publicans of Michigan will kindly let
democrats in Lansing and Washing
ton pick their candidates for them
and make no opposition.
But il there should be resentment
in Michigan, as well as in many 9TH
er states, over what in the mildest
terms must be characterized as an
exceedingly irregular proceeding, we
shall have more fights than fusions.
and the unity so ardently sought will
be dangerously menaced. In all
cases of proposed fusion our domestic
peace will be promoted il the major
ity party will be given first of all an
opportunity to prove its mettle. Only
whore there has been outrageous
failure of duty can minority dictation
be justified, and as for intrusion
from Washington, the less we have
of it the better for all concerned.

The reports of food shortage, star
walton among the people and hunger
in the army appear circumstantial
enough to have been inspired in Con-
stantinople. How can Turkey relieve
the food stinggency in Germany when
she has no food for her own army?

CoNCEALMENT is THE RULE.

The presidents opposition to the attempt
that was made in the senate to bring the process
of treaty making out into public view is ac-
cepted as wholly natural The one thing which
he has constantly done has been to conceal
from the people the negotiations which his adj
ministration has conducted with foreign ma
tons Mr. Roots reports from Russia, for in
stance, though made nearly a year ago, have
never been published. 1t has been only
through the exigencies of defending change
Of front regarding the war that Mr.. Lansing
has been permitted to make his occasional and
limited revelations of German intri que as
known to the archivists at the state depart
ment. And even SO simple international

can editors who are now visiting us not
given out for American publication at the time
of it's utterance; and American newspapers re-
ceived it from Havana where the press had

the president desired the Mexican people to

!, Turkey Tired of Her Contract

, only worry for Turkey. The BRUSH
are fortifying their hold in Palestine
as they are in Mesopotamia. Inc
Arabs are growing stronger each
day by accessions from trtbesmen

until they feel reasonably secure IN
their new kingdom OF HedJaz. Inc
| Turks could make resistance 10
these forces in the south If they mad
an army upon which they could de
pend. Early in the year an authorl-
tative report from Constantlnople
said that 100000 men deserted from
the army that General Mackensen
was endeavoring to collect at Aleppo.
Another despatch a few days ago an
nounced a revolt among the troops
for the suppression of which large
force was sent from northern ASIA
Minor. The evident fear was that the
power of Djemal Pasha and the
whole pro-German clique" according
to his oyn declaration was increasing,
and that an overthrow of the corrupt
and subsequently pro-Teuton1c gov
eminent at Constantinople was imml-
nent.
1t was the Turks of like mind with
Diemal that caused the trouble which
Emperor Charles went to CONSTANT
nople to settle. They claimed that
Bulgaria is getting all the prizes in
southeastern Europe, and there is no
use for Turkey to go on fighting in
the interest of the central powers.
Victory would bring them no advan-
tages, they declare, and at the best
Turkey would be only a subservient
German dependence. With hunger
and starvation among the people, re-
volt in the army and strongly ag-
gressive faction of discomfort, Tur-
key has reason to rule her compact
in hopeless warfare. If peace does
not come soon the whole wretched
Ottoman ruin will crash of its own
weight.

FUSioNs OR FIGHTS.

New Yor World: When the pres
ident said to congress the other day
that politics is adjourned it must
have been with some mental reser-
vations. The attempt, with his APP
prevail, by the democrats of Michigan
to force Henry Ford upon the repub-
licans as fusion candidate for Unit
ed States senator may not be party
politics exactly, for Mr.. Ford is re-
publican, but it bears a strong re-
Isemblance to political strategy.
Party fusions for patriotic purposes
have been suggested in states and
districts where there is prospect
that, with loyal vote divided, can
didates opposed to the war or other
wise in sympathy with the enemy
may be elected. Michigan is not such
a state. It's normal republican major.
Iity is large and the senatorial can.
didates thus far suggested by that
party answer every test of Amer
icanism.
Although a republican, Mr.. Ford is
known as an ardent supporter of the
president and his war policies. BY
making such man their candidate
in a state where one of their own
number has no shance of election the
democrats show an agreeable willing.
ness to support a republican, provided
they have the privilege of naming
! him.
It is possible. however, that this
clever performance may not promote

desired at Washington. Mr.. Ford's

Three steps there are our human life must climb.
The first is Force.
The savage struggled to it from the slime
And still it is last ashamed recourse.
Above that jagged stretch of red-vened stone
Is marble Law.
Carven with long endeavor, monotone
OF patient hammers, not yet free from flaw.
Three steps there our human lir- must climb
The last is Love,

AS touches the White Rose and Mystic Dove.

A child that clngs

Cuickens in hayward feet the dream of wings

strate to such Americans as did not realize it
earlier that the allies are fighting for us not
less than for themselves. But for the British
fleet German shells might long ere this have
filled the streets of New York and other sea-
board cities with the debris and wrecked and
battered buildings. Were England out Of the
war, can there be any question that German
raiders would swarm across the seas, destroy
our commerce and ruin our seacoast towns ?
Can any sane man doubt that if England we're
defeated we should have to pay Germany's war
cost or fight her singlehanded with no effec-
tive help from any other nation on earth with
the possible exception of Japan2 Presumably
one of Germany's hopes was to intimidate
America and throw us into panic which
should call our war craft home The German
