Governmental Enterprise
Tends to- Inefficiency, He
Declares in New York.
NOTORIOUS DURING WAR

NEW YORK, November 30.-Charles
E. Hughes. speaking tonight before
the Institute of Arts and Sciences at
Columbia University, asserted that
Governmental enterprise tends con-
stantly to ineficiency." He cnarac-
terized as enemies Of liberty" all
those whose interests lie simply in
extending the activities of govern
ment so as to embrace all industry"
Discussing conditions following the
war he declared that readjustment
should be brought about as soon as
practicable and that war powers
should not be used to control peace
conditions. Such a control, he said.
would constitute a most serious OF
fense against American institutions.
1.-The question of government own
ership and operation is; s,u after M,ahaa AL
.of course, there are those whose
interests lie simply in extending
the activities of government so as
to embrace all industry and who are
endeavoring to proceed along What
they conceive to be the line Of least
resistance in trying to keep in gov
ernment hands in time of peace what
has been taken temporarily by reason
of the exigencies of war.
Trusts to Instinct.
1.-THE instinct of the American people,
1 believe, can be trusted to thWart the
insidious plans .of these enemies OF
liberty, who, if given their way, would
not stop short of a tyranny which,
whatever name it might bear, would
leave little room for preference as
compared to Prussianism.
1T is regrettable, but it is true, that
governmental enterprise tends con-
stantly to inef6ciency. 1t can
not fail to be observed that even in
connection with the war, despite the
endeavor and patriotic impulse of
countless workers, inefficiency in i'm
portant fields of activity has been
notorious: The notion that the con-
duct of business by government tends
to be efficient is a superstition cher
ished by those who either know moth
ing of government or who know moth
ing of business The tendency is
ST StronP1V the other Way.

W0RL D's FOOD PROBLEMS
WILL BREAK BARRIERS
Jane Addams Says They VIII Be
Potent Factor at reace
Table.

NEW YORK, November 3o.-Opinion
that the worlds common food prob
lem has had the effect Of establishing
a new order Of International relation
ship and thus may prove a potent
factor at the peace conference, was
expressed today by Miss Jane Adams
Of Chicago, in lecture here before
the League Of Political Education. AS
an illustration Of her idea, she said:
when the delegates sit around the
peace table and the question comes
up What is to be done with Serbia? :?
the hunger sufferings Of that country
and the efforts Of the allies to sup
ply her with food will be in the minds
Of the representatives. and we may be
sure that some plan will be- formu-
lated whereby that practically land
locked country will be given an ac-
cess to the sea and be assured OF an
adequate food supply.
'It Is in this way that the worlds
food problem is linked with future
world politics. It will supply mo-
tive for humanitarian and the break
ing down Of the barriers between ma
tons"
At other peace conferences. she said
''the best intentions of the nations
have been defeated, because they
could not get a motive large enough
to carry them forward and above the
intrigues of national competition"

Dangers of Political Control.

"Along with this is the grave ques-
ton of putting the direct operation
of these great activities unnecessarily
under political control. That is the
most serious question. The dove
failing of government with business
is apt to injure both.
1T is undoubtedly true" he con-
tinued, that whenever, during the
war, extraordinary powers were fit
tingly exercised and governmental con-
troll was assumed for war purposes,
the readjustment to conditions of
peace must be effected gradually and
with the circumspection essential to
the protection of all the public and
private interests involved. But the
imm ediate purpose should be to re-
adjust as soon as may be, not to use
war powers to control peace condi-
tionS, a proceeding essentially vicious
and constituting the most serious Of
fense against our institutions"
Warns Of Undue Decentralization
Mr.. Hughes added. however, that un-
due decentralization would be. as
dangerous to national prosperity as
Decentralization.
Congress, he said, should provide a
sensible plan for railroad regulation,
permitting sound credit and growth,
stabilizing securities and insuring
adequate service at reasonable rates.
He also declared cooperation in. in
dustry to be just as essential in peace
time as during the exigencies of war
and that big business was needed, if
soundly organized and properly SUI
pervised. One great lesson to be de-
rived from the war, he said, was the
need for expert knowledge in super
vising industry and commerce.
| He further declared that serious
| labor conditions were looming on the
! horizon, and suggested that, In order
, to take up the labor slack, an effort
should be made to start Immediately
all important public work throughout
| the country which has been held up
during the war.

Lest We Forget

He who can forget the little ones
that lie mangled 80 fathoms under
the shattered hulk of the Lusitania;
who has no reverence for the dead
and their devotion. no prayer for the
dying and their anguish, no pity for
the bereaved and the broken; whose
blood Is not quickened by our perils,
whose heart Is not sOftened by our
pains; who reads unmoved of blasted
homes and wasted countrysides, of
desOlated cities, and desecrated
shrines, of heroic Belgium, overrun
but not conquered; of epic France and
the noble dead that lie buried there
the great dead that fought and the
innocent dead that merely wept and
waited. He who can forget these
things, or be Indifferent to the sacri
fees and the sorrows, the bereave-
lnents, and the burdens of Freedoms
Gethsamanes-that man is n Hun at
heart, for the crimes that none but a
Hun can commit, none but Il Hun
can forget!

Nearing the End Of Their Rope

A Paris dispatch of the 18th re-
ports:
Our booty in prisoners and guns,
which now is officially reported at
10000 men and LOO cannon since
July Is, is recognized as the biggest
haul the Allies have made since the
war began. and there Is every reason
to, suppose that the toll of captures is
by no means ended.
The German losses since Foch
launched his blow on July Is are es-
timated here at $500 men killed,
wounded and prisoners.
The belief Is growing here that the
Germans are much nearer the end of
their tether than the rest of the world
has been allowed to guess. 1t Is now
known that to make up for the awful
wastage on'the Aisne- Msrne salient
and on the Somme the Germans have
had practically to empty their depots.
[These facts may account for the
fact that so many of the American
boys are writing that they do not ex-
pect a long stay in Europe.l

STAND By THIS EMBLEM
Britain will Stick to Last Man

A London dispatch says:
Lord Miner, in an Interview, has
expressed to an American cores
pondent favorable views on the war
position. but called attention to some
Of the problems now confronting the
Allies.
II feel that Great Britain may be
OVERRIDING military effort. having re-
gard to all our other efforts" said
the minister for war.
''The last comb-out hit us and the
Allies very hard In some ways. by
diminishing our industrial produc-
ton for the purposes of the war.
need not say anything to you about
the coal situation which, rs you know,
Ia very serious for us and the Allies.
Italy particularly being entirely de-
pendent on Great Britain for coal, and
France largely dependent, while our
own enormous output of war mater
ial depends upon coal. There are
other cases in which the latest comb
out checked the production for war
purpOses-for instance, tanks. am
at the present time compelled most
reluctantly to bring back some hun
dreds OF men, recently recruited, in
order to keep up the production of
tanks, which began to fall oil owing
to the loss of these mems services.
"What is evident, is that the de-
mand on British man power for war
purposes-thatis is, for the ma intenancc
of the navy and mercantile marine
for coal production, for the output of
every kind of engine Of war, especial
ly nirplanes and tanks and guns re-

Britain's contribution to the ranks of
the allied land forces is bound to suf-
fer certain diminution.
THE Allies must understand it, and
understand the reason. There is great
danger OF some misunderstanding.
Whht want to emphasize n 't''nt'
going in any way todiminish. In fact,
it is constantly increasing. am very
much afraid it may he thought that
we are inclined to relax our effort be-
cause we now rely on the help of
America. That is entirely unfounded.
IL may be best to devote more of
Great Britains man power to those
objects which she is in the best posi-
ton to fulfill orperhaps can alone full
fill and rather less of it to actual
soldiers.
1T Is idle to ignore that Great Brit
ain and France, too, for that matter,
who have lost literally millions OF
their physically fit young men, are
not in 80 good u position for supply
ing soldiers as America with her al
most untouched millions OF young
men whose magnificent fighting quail
have now been shown to the world
in most unmistakable fashion.
"lknOw this may be misinterpreted.
Somebody is certain to say, ON, yes,
that's very well; you just want the
Americans to be killed rather than

tinue to put into the fighting line

THE WAR

During the past week daily record
of French and British victories took
place.
Latest dispatches report that the
tide OF defeat still surges heavily
against the Germans. and OIL four i'm
portant sectors the French and Brit
ish were victorious. The entire Ger
man front, from Ypres in Belgium to
Scissors, OH the Aisne river, Is more
seriously threatened now than ever
before by the continued and we'll sus-
tained Allied pressure.
Between Albert and Arras, Haig
followed up his late success by new
offensive over,a front of 10 miles. He
made splendid gains along the entire
line, capturing number of villages
and inflicting heavy losses on the
enemy.
On the front held by the Americans
comparative quiet has prevailed dur
ing the past two weeks, but in minor
engagements Uncle SANS boys made
their usual good showing.
Ultimate victory now rests with
the Allies.

Ridiculous Actions May Bar Hand Shaking With
 Soldiers.

Khaki-crazed girls again interfer- ed with the work of the Canteen Service last evening when two troop trains went through. One of the of ficers in charge said he would have to prohibit handshaking and would have to order the windows of the coaches closed if he passed through another town in which the girls acted as foolishly as did the girls of Pine Bluff
 The girls permitted themselves to be pulled to the window of the train and one girl nearly fell under the train.
 The two trains from Camp McAr- thur, Texas carried nearly 1000 troopers. The soldiers of the first train marched to the high school athletic field and took their "setting up exercise." When they came back to the shop yards they were served ice tea and cookies and given maga- zines by the canteen workers.
 The second train load of husky fel- lows marched through the city, ac-- companied by their band. When they reached the shops they were given smokes, post cards, magazines and served stick candy by the ladies. They in turn gave concert to the ladies.

GROWN PRINCES
 DRIVE ON MARINE
 ENDS IN DISASTER
Retreating Army May Try to Make a Stand on the
 Vesle River.

With the French Army in France, Aug. 2-(By the Associated Press.)-- The Germans are in retreat on all sides of the salient between the Aisne and the Marne.
 On the west the French and British troops, continuing their push of Thursday, have reached the valley of the Crise, little river which joins the Aisne at Soissons.
 The Germans therefore have a'ban- doned the whole of the Chaudun pla- teau between the Coeuvers and Crisc valley.
 This ground has been desperately disputed fattle field for weeks. It had been swept by the German heavy guns from the nodrth of the line and from the east and probably was tho hottest sector of the whole battle front.
 In the center the French cavalry are in the big woods called the Fort des Nesles, mile northeast of Fere- en-Tardenois.
 On the allied left the troops are in. touch with the forests of the Am dre, two miles north of Villers AgrOn.
 The Germans, disregarding the mill itary considerations which counsell-, ed frank acceptance of defeat and rapid retreat many days ago in or- der to spare their men for a new at- tempt, have been obliged to accept the inevitable and are falling back. probably to the Vesle river.
 The German crown princes pf- fensive on the Marne has failed aa signally as that of von Kluck in 1914 and the last word Is with the allies.
