AUGUST i, 1914,

Four years ago today Germany de- clared war on Russia and precipitated the world conflict which resulted. Tb- day Russia is hors de combat while Germany finds the rest of the civilized world arrayed against her. Besides the millions of lives which the world war exaoted as toll for Germany's mad act, her aircraft have killed thousands of innocent women and children and her submarines have sent many more non-c n-combatants to death at sea. Four years after the crime was perpetrated we find Ger many and her Kaiser and her states. men just as naughty and insolent, just as determined on world domination as in 1914. Their chronic stupidity closes their eyes to the fact that France and England are much stronger in the field today than when the war began, and to the millions of men America is sending over to join them in the battle for freedom. No one knows when the war will end, but every true patriot in this country is determined that peace shall not be declared until Germany is complete lv defeated. On this fourth anniver- sary of the great catastrophe all Am ericans will heartily subscribe to the pledge of President Wilson that the world must be made safe for rdemoc- racy." When that is accomplished. we can have peace,-not before.

Tho Railroad Problem,

(New York Journal of Commerce.
 The conference at Washington be- tween representative of the railroad administration, who include q num- her of prominent railroad OficiaIs Of -undoubted ability and practical eX~ perience, and the finance committee of the National association of Wners of Railroad Securities, gave evidence of the portentouS financial problem with which that administration. with the secretary of the treasury as it's director general, has to deal. There is q vast volume of railroad securities in the form of stock and bonds dis Seninated over the country, the value of which will inevitably be af- fected by the results of the admin istration, which subjects the railroad service prima rily to the government, with effects difficult to calculate upon the expenditures and receipts. To have these so adjusted as to assure the rights of security holders is a matter of great uncertainty under the form of contract that has been de signed.
 Few realize how widespread would be the effect of a serious deprecia- ton of these railroad securities, es- pecalIy the bond issues. They are held in large amount by life insurance companies and savings banks, and the financial com mittee at the con- ference was made up largely of their offices. It is said to have been estimated that the committee directly represented between six and seven bill lion dollars worth of these securities at present market prices; but what was really represented was the value of life insurance policies and savings deposits belonging to or affecting the pecuniary condition of about half the population of the country, including widows and children of small or mod crate means Banking and exchange operations deal more or less with railroad securities, with gains or losses. but these investments con- cern those who do their investing only in payment of premiums and making deposits of savings without realizing what is done with the money to make it safe and to yield the promised return
 The hearing or the subject was be- fore the Interstate Commerce Con- mission, which has rs serious task on it's hands in making report as to what ought to be done in modifying the form or contract. No doubt if is the desire of the administration to secure all financial rights in the railroad property and have them maintained when it fS restored to the real owners, but it is not an easy matter to make sure of.

0V7R MANUFACTURERS

It has been alleged that manufac- turers in this city are obstructing war work by refusing to engage skilled workmen, formerly in their employ, who gave Up their positions on &C., count of some grievance, real or imagined. It is charged in other words, that manufacturers resort to the so-called black list" method, and discriminate against certain apph- cants seeking work in their factories.
 In our humble opinion there is nothing in this point over which any one should become unduly excited. A manufactures has a perfect right to engage whomsoever he pleases, and to reject applicants for employment ss he sees fit. It is no light matter to charge local manufacturers with obstFucting war work. We think that the heads of New Britain concerns have made a record in Government contracts which is second to that of no other community. If the Govern ment were dissatisfied with results, or

Positive proof of the failure of Ger. man submarine warfare has been fur

 in importance is the fact that well

 the presence Of our mon on the west

 to the effect that hundreds of thou

 in the Marnc battle call for an ex-
 planattoH from those who have stead
 festIy maintaiucd that no such uulu-
 bers of Americans lad reached F@4Hca.
 This by no means tells the whole story of allied transports during the past four months. There is some truth ia tie German reports that great masac9 of "Nacll" men have been used in me present allied otfen- SiVe. Franc" has brought in largo numbers Of coloniaI3 sIrce March, la- tives of the French colonies Both France and Britain. v'e inagine. haze brought back many divisions from other fields. such as Macedonia and Syria. In addition, new forces have been brought to France from the British colonies. Canada has recent ly sent some 50,000 new men. and tho taking of Meteren by tho British a few days ago was by new troops who have journeyeG from Cape Town since March.
 These men hve carGied with them a large part of their cnuipmont and oil of their supplies have been shipped in defiance of submarines. Until now we have assumed that this great achievement had been at the expense of the civilian populations of our al- ties. It hardly seemed possible to turn so much tonnage over to tho car- ryine of troops without greatly re- Stricting the shipments of food to IGng- land and France. MT. Hoover has just assured us and our allies that we have turned the corner in this respect: that food reserves are being built up i1 England and France, and that hence forth we will have more ships for soldiers after all civilian needs are met.
 Now comes the report on marine losses for Juno. The ngureS for all losses to allied shipping due to enemy action or ordinary risk are 27S.b39 tons This is the lowest total since Sep tember, 1916, six months before uu- restricted underseas warfare began. New construction is now forging ahead of the losses. 1t will be s0!u1 time. of course, before the ships lost can be replaced, but that is not the main thing. If we could turn tine scale in the matter of transporting men and supplies to Europe during a period when the balance was running tDa other way, it is clear that the subma- rine no longer counts as a determining factor in the outcome of the war. These fundamental considerations should be kept in mind when we read of such losses as the Justicia and are inclined to take a serious view of the submarine operations off the Ameri- can coast. The use of eight subma rines in attacking the Justicia and the raiding on this side of the Atlantic . show the growing impotency of the U-boat The one big complishment of this sharp weapon" has been to bring the United States into the war to decide the issue on land against tha enemy.
