While engaged in the war Germany
is carrying on battle sideline Of her
own in the matter of initiating Arieri-
can safety razor blades and selling
them to Scandinavia. The u. S. Vice
Consul at Christiana reports that
"some of the counterfeited razors and
razor blades have been exported to
Scandinavia and are to be purchased
in many Of the stores which before
had sold American razors only" That
is a little sample of what Germany
can do with the advantage which she
holds in the matter of low wages to
her workmen, even in war time. Some
time ago it was discovered that a firm
in New Britain, Conn, engaged in the
manufacture of safety razor blades
and handles, had found it more profit
able to buy blades made in japan and
shipped to them under the democratic
tariff law, putting the blades in do.
mestic made handles, and offering
them to the market. Naturally, the
fellows formerly employed to make
those blades were relieved of their
work by the Connecticut conpany.
Yet we have been told by democratic
tariff experts" that wages have lit
tie or nothing to do with the cost Of
production.

something unpleasant in that Isolation,

heard was the roar of the motor and
the swish of the wind through wires

Titled Lady as Shoemaker.

It Is an interesting fact that, al
though the women OF the United King
dom have invaded most employments
that formerly were followed chiefly by
men. the shoemaking trade has not ex-
perienced much change In this respect.
Yet, something over IA hundred years
ago, shoemaking was one Of the sem
ployments of high society" in London.

brother. written about the year 1908,

Determining Age Of PIansts.

A novel idea In estimating the physi-
cal condition Of planets was put forth
by N. veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting In
Paris. He based 1t upon a calculation
of the quantity Of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus Is still surrounded by thick
layer Of vapor. while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface Of Mer-
curry. this planet being still In con-
dition In which Its geological life has
not begun. and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on Its surface.
NJ. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks of our earth now contain abb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The rumor that Pershing is respon-
sible for keeping Gen. Wood away
from France was put in circulation
by idolators of the administration, and
is only measurably serving its purpose
But in any event it was not Pershing
who was responsible for taking Gen.
Wood away from Governors Island
and sending him down to Charleston,
South Carolina.
The new railroad rate schedules,
with their horizontal increases at a
uniform percentage, are critised Sc
verely before they are put into opera
ton; and many inequities have been
discovered which will doubtless be re-
medied by further revision. The rule
Of thumb method which has prevailed
only too widely in many of the new
governmental agencies will some day
give way to more thoughtful pro-
cedure.
The German drive having been halt
ed at the Marne once more, reviving
the tragic memories of French hero
ism in 1914, some pacifist souls in
this country are taking on a false
courage and are beginning cautiously
to preach again the doctrine of Ger
man deterioration in man-power and
war material. OF course, the war may

more likely to end through Allied
force. The thing for Americans to
think of is not how much nor how
soon will the Germans be worn down.
but how soon and how powerfully
shall we be able to crush them.

The reported counter-revolt against
the Soviet government in Russia is
probably like the repeatedly reported
uprisings in Germany and Austria
the child of the wish. 1t is altogether
unlikely that the Soviet government
in its present form and with its pre-
sent aims can maintain itself; but we
need not look for its speedy downfall.
The Russian situation is one which
cannot be healed by international oste-
opathy. That is to say, the forces
within Russia itself are not of them
selves sufficiently powerful to accomp-
lish the desired result. There must be
some sort of outward application. The
remedy which we suggest in united
Allied effort, in propaganda, in diplo-
macy, in arms.
