 SINCE EARLY 1917
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, April 10.-The sinking of British merchantmen by mines or sub marines last week reached the next lowestlevel ofany week since Germany began her intensive submarine cam paign early in 1917. Four vessels of more than 1,600 tons. two of less than 1900 tons and two fishing boats were sent to the bottom.
 The admiralty statement adds:
 Vessels unsuccessfully attacked, II, including two previously.
 Arrivals 2,534, sailings, 2,495.
 Both fishermen reported today were sunk during the week ending March 30."
 The low record in sinkings for any week since Germany began her inten- sive submarine campaign was, in the weight of tonnage sunk, the week of November II. last. Then only one vessel of over 1,600 tons and five vessels of less than 1,600 tons were destroyed.
 Last weeks admiralty statement an- nounced the sinking of six merchant- men of more than 1,600 tons, seven of less than 1.600 tons and five fishing vessels. The previous week 2S mer- chantmen were sunk, 16 being of more than 1,600 tons burden.

Destroy Settlement Chance

After Sir Charles Hobhouse. the for mer postmaster general, and Donald MacLean had criticized the bill, ex- pressing the opinion that the number of men over 40 years who were fit for service did not justify raising the age limit John Dillon, the nationalist lead CT, said that apart altogether from Ireland, no case has been made out for the bill itself As to the Irish pro- posals, they would destroy the hope of an Irish settlement during the war
 He challenged the government to make a plebiscite in Ireland and de- clared that Antrim would vote with Clare against conscription. The farm CTS of Ulster, he said, were against conscription.
 No More Than GngIishmen
 Sir Edward Carson, interrupting, said: No more than the farmers of England"
 The estimate of 100000 men from Ireland, continued MT. Dillon, was non sense. Two years ago the figure was put at 10000 and since then 10000 had volunteered. He believed that no more than S0,000 could be obtained without doing infinitely more injury by de- stroying the food supply.
 Another War Front in Ireland
 The real purpose of the bill was to divert public attention and inquiry from the true causes of the failure on the western front. The attempt to ex- tend the bill to Ireland would open up another war front in Ireland, all the

Let Up on War Taxes.

Secretary McAdoo has addressed to Senator
Simmons, chairman of the senates finance COM
mittee, communication setting out what he
conceives to be needs to be provided for by tax
ation The secretary suggests that the bill in
tended to produce eight billions in revenue be
cut to six, as the war program reasonably can
be reduced from $24,O00,00O,00O to $1S,OOO,0OO,-
000 Careful observers are inclined to the opn-
ion that expenditures may be reduced even more
than outlined by the secretary with no danger
to our future plans. With hostilities definitely
suspended, the most important item Of military
expense is automatically removed Termina-
ton of government contracts will dispose of
others This work already is progressing. In
the month Of our greatest endeavor in connec-
ton with the war the total expenditure was but
little more than $l,S00,0O0,000, or we'll below
the two-billion monthly charge anticipated. As
only little more than four months of the cur
rent fiscal year had passed and in none of them
did the expenditures reach the estimate, it is
quite possible that the bills may be brought
down to a point we'll below that accepted by
Mr.. McAdoo as the maximum requirement.
Heavy taxes and aonther big loan are to be ex-
pected but the people are entitled to have the
pressure made as light as safety will admit.

W1lllaam Must Be Tried

The conduct of William Hohenzolern, after
his abdicaton as king of Prussia and German
kaiser. was surprising even to his worst en-
.mies He said. 1T may be for the good of
Germany" But his actions showed that his
sole concern was to save his own skin. Even
the pitiably weak Nicholas Romanoff showed
less of craven spirit than William. Instead of
staying to try to help Germany in its hour of
internal conflict, at risk of his life, he sneaked
out Of the land he had ruled for over 80 years,
fugitive from popular wrath But he cannot
escape. No nation will dare give him permanent
asylum He may not be turned over to the
new government of Germany, but demand
from the allies for his surrender will be needed.
William must be tried for high crimes
against civilization. There are two reasons for
this. One is firmly to establish the doctrine Of
personal responsibility of rulers; the other is to
settle, once for all, in high tribunal, on full
hearing of all the evidence, all the disputed
questions as to responsibility for this war, and
Tor the barbarous practices that have dis
tingushed it from other modern wars. This
will be the only certain way, while witnesses are
yet living, and documents are available, for as
certaining the historical facts. We owe it to the
future to uncover all things that are hidden, to
winnow official statements of their half truths
and falsehoods and get at the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth In this man
ser we shall render 1t impossible for special
pleaders to present their conflicting theories to
confuse the tuturss=St Louis Globe Democrat

Stick for the Big Show"

Workmen on government job in Brooklyn,
who struck because their hours of labor, and
consequently wages, had been reduced, typify
spirit that is showing itself in many places
throughout the country. 1t is the spirit of self
and not of service; had it prevailed before the
war America would not have entered the con-
fiict and the victory might have gone the other
way. If it prevails now, we are going to lose
much of the fruits of that victory. Most of the
grumbling at home has been against the YIN
Justifiable prohteering, and against the contin-
uation OF high prices protest is now vigorously
made All this was to have been expected, and
rests on reason, but the impossibility Of getting
back at once topeace conditions must be ap-
parent to all. Therefore, all must exercise pa
thence now as never before. The natural opera
ton of trade laws will bring about the change
sooner, perhaps, than is anticipated. Greed
should have no place in our program and indi-
vlduals seeking undue gains from trade will soon
realize this. Public opinion still is mighty
compelling force in America and now as ever
it will be directed against those who seek un-
fair advantage. Its effect will be the more man
ifest If it is sobery applied.

Lloyd George and the Election.

Some democratic editors are trying to draw
parallel between Lloyd George and President
Wilson in the matter of appeals to the elector-
close resemblance they would have us admit
Lloyd George has asked that he be continued
in Office with parliamentary majority suffi
cient to enable him to carry out plans for peace
already formed. But he has not made support
of his plans test of loyalty.
Party lines long ago all but disappeared in
the United Kingdom, the several groups dis
solving and different combinations now land
then appearing, only to be dissipated as they
accomplished 4 minor purpose or failed to i'm
press the country with their plans. All through
the turmoil, however, the insistent purpose of
the government to win the war had the unques-
tioning supported all the people, even that rem
nant Of the Tory party which chung to the van
ishins status of hereditary class privilege.
Lloyd George overturned Asquith and came
into power himself as head Of coalition gov
ernment in which responsibility was shared by
all the political groups, even the socialists hav-
ing member Of the cabinet. This is directly
opposite to the course pursued by our president,
who insisted on partisan cabinet, and on re-
tanning men in his cabinet who were objections
able to considerable number of his own party.
He did not reappoint any member of his cabi-
net until after Senator Hardwick of Georgia
had introduced a resolution inquiring by what
show of right the ncumbents pretended to dis
charge the functions of the positions they fill

sent to the senate as reappointment and con-
hrned All other members Of the group are
holdovers.

Lloyd George and President Wilson, and they

Lo, the Poor Cotton Gru,uer!

The south appears to be getting disturbed
over the decline in the price of cotton. Cover
nor Manning Of Georgia recently called con-
ference to discuss means of holding cotton off
the market until the price reaches point that
will at least cover the cost of production" This
talk about the cost of production" has ia
miliar ring, but it will not arouse much SYM
pathy among northern farmers, the price of
whose products has been fixed, while cotton has
gone up to unheard of prices without the slight
est interference from the government One de-
fender of the south wrote recently: 1T is true
that the present price of cotton seems trihe
high, but it is to be remembered that cotton
sold for little over cents pound four years
ago. Then, too, an unduly low price tends to
stimulate and benefit the Internal industry Of
munition making, which must have cotton if it
is to go on manufacturing explosives" O., they
are public benefactors. those cotton growersl
But we can imagine what shout of protest
would go up if northern farmers should get to-
gether to hold their wheat from the market to
force higher prices. We suppose the case is
necessarily different in the north.-Chicago

Prices on Eoodstuffs.

Omaha. Nov. 15.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: The federal food ad-
ministration is constantly abating
the restrictions on the use Of food
stuffs on the ground that the cessa-
ton of hostilities will lessen the Eu-
ropcan demand, while at the same
time the enormous crops in this
country have produced vast surplus
stores.
Nobody need be told that the
urgent European demand will de-
cline from month to month, and this
fact, coupled with the enormous
stores held, ought to be enough to
induce federal and state food admin
istrators to compel the profiteers in
foodstuffs to reduce their prices. No
longer can they say to the consumer
the European demand compels the
sky-rocketing OF these prices. The
prevailing prices of the necessaries
OF life in Omaha are shamelessly
high.
The situation Is one calling for
drastic action, not only by the food
administrators, hut by the state and
county councils Of defense, the city
council and every other organized
body of citizens If profiteering in
the necessaries of life cannot be
stopped in any other way, few
prison sentences such az those i'm
posed by England should be resorted
to. 1t seems to me that this issue
is paramount to all others since the
announcement Of the cessation of
hostiAties
In mentioning organized efforts to
suppress the proflteers let me ven-
ture the suggestion that the blatant
suffragists might get busy along this
line with some chance Of being Of
real service to the consumers Of this
city and state. The Improvement
clubs Of this city are in a position to
take this subject up and advocate
the enforcing of drastic action at the
hands of law officers whose duty It
is to protect the people from these
conscienceless profiteers Let us
not forget that profiteering is by no
means confined to foodstuffs. We
are living amid plentiful supplies of
the necessaries of life, yet we are
compelled to pay famine prices. The
people have power to break up all
combinations in restraint of trade,
but 1t can't be done with feather
busters. J. B. H.

Ths democratic Brooklyn Eagle demands
that republicans choose an eastern man to be
speaker of the next house because "the interests
Of the east, the wealthiest states Of the union,
need protection more than any other section in

old Eagle, in its traditional bourbonism, over
looks the fact that the republican victory was
largely secured as rebuke to sectionalism. The
next house will stand for America and not for
any favored region.
