care of in case the government were definitely to acquire the railroads
 Nor do I speak as one who believes that the railroad situation can be re- stored just as 1t was before the war. The function, responsibility and obil- gation of the railroads as a whole are primarily to serve the interests and economic requirements of the nation. The disjointed operation of the rail roads, each one considering merely it's own system and being under the law practically prevented from doing oth. erwise), will, l am sure. not be per mitted again.

Freight rates were raised 25 per cent, passen- ger rates 50 per cent, many wasteful and needless practices heretofore com pulsory imposed were done away with. The whole theory under which intellt gent. effective and systematic coop eration between the different railways had been made impossible formerly, was thrown into the scrap heap.
 The question of the disposition to be made of the railroads after the war is one of tue most important and far reaching of the post-bellum questions which will confront us.

Civilization In The Scale.

The great battle in Northern France
and Western Flanders continues to
rage with varying fortunes for the
Germans and allies and with but little
absolute certainty as to the final out
come.
Adequate conception Of the extent
OF this battle or its Importance is diff
ficult, il not impossible. AS to how
many men are engaged is not known
not exactly: but both sides have
thrown all they have in the scale, and
there is no question of the fact that
it is the most terrific conflict that has
ever occurred in the history Of the
world.
The battle lines. roughly speaking
extend over a distance Of about one
hundred miles from Paris, north
through France and Belgium to the
coast Of the North Sea- The most ac-
tive parts OF the lines are from Arras
to Amiens, about thirty miles south
and from Bethune, France, north to
Langemarck in Belgium. another
thirty miles.
The southern part Of the line up to
near Ypres in Belgium extends
through a hilly country. and from
Ypres to the sea the country Is low.
fiat and swampy.
All along the line the allies have
been and still are on the defensive
and the Germans who are on the Of
fensive have been hurting themselves

Americans in France

How many American troops there
are i'm France we do not know: but 1t
is reasonably certain that there are
lots of them and it is absolutely ccr-
tain that lots more are on the way.
That there are as many as half n
million Americans now on the firing
lines, we do not think would bc n
wild guess. We hardly think the
is less than that. because
both the British and French are
counting the Americans as an i'm
portant element of strength and un-
less there were at least half million
of them they would not he consider
cd as counting for great deal-not
as numbers go in the British, French
and German armies.
AS has been stated previously. the
are not fighting on the fir
ing lines as separate units. They are
with the Rritish and
French, and for this there is good rea-
son. Also this good reason is without
reflection on the Americans.
The American soldier has got al
the courage and go that any soldier
has any business with. In these quail
itics he is not inferior to either the
British or fre-"h. but he has not
had q great deal OF experience yet
and il will bc bit dangerous to risk
him too far as to the quality of stcadi-
ness. At least that is sound military
opinion. and whether this opinion Is
correct or not. it is just as well to en-
ercise due caution. especially where
caution will do good rather than
harm.
That is why the Americans are be-
ing brigaded with the British and
French.
But this brigading with the British
and French does not mean that the
Americans are under command of for
cign otficers-not bit of it.
The American regiment consists OF
three battalions of l.200 rifles each or
$500 rifles.
The British battalion is the same
and the French battalion is virtually
the same.
Now, what has been done Is TO put
a full American battalion between two
British or French battalions. making
the British or French regiments each
two thirds British or French and one
third American.
That is the way the British man.
aged with their Canadians and other
colonial troops. and that is the way
the French have been managing with
their colonials.
The idea is that the unseasoned
Americans sandwiched in between
seasoned British and French will.
through the example furnished by the
seasoned troops, stand as steadily as
any of them.
And the Americans are going to do
lust that. They have been doing 1t.
But that Is not all. After two or
three battles, the Americans will be-
come as thoroughly seasoned as the
troops with which they are brigad-
ed. and they will need no more
steadying.
Given such a matter as year OF
campaigning II the war lasts that
long. British and French will profit
by being brigaded with Americans.
And if the Germans last until our
full army arrives they will not last
for long time afterward.

HERE AND 1hERE

The promoters OF the jitney line
between Yorkville and Chester have
given up the undertaking. The rea-
son, OF course. is that il did not pay.
There was not enough travel, and i,
did not look like il was going TO be
worth while to try to develop the
business This development will prove
II source Of regret 10 a great many
people; but OF course the regret Is
not extensive enough. Otherwise II
would not exist at all.
MIR. J. Frank Moore. the Yorkville
harness maker, gave Here and There
an interesting talk on leather day or
two ago. Mr.. Moore has been in the
business for many years. and what he
does not know about leather is torn
out OF the book. He has u pretty
good stock OF leather on hand. enough
for immediate need. and il includes
various qualities and kinds. The old.
vat tanned leather. he explained. is
still 10 be had: but II Is very scarce.
Modern chemically tanned leather
does not touch II in quality or dura-
bility. Very good harness leather may
be had at 4 dollar pound whole
sale: but calf skin, buck skin and the
like run up to something like a dol
lar a square foot. and more. Buck
skin, used by harness makers princi-
pally for whangs. is now exceedingly
scarce. and difficult to secure at any
price. Mr.. Moore has no trouble in
selling all the harness he is able TO
make.
The thief who stole that money
from the ticket case at the Southern
railway station In Yorkville. has not
yet been caught up with and there
is very little ground for suspicion as 10
his identity. II appears that on 60
ing TO dinner between IL and II
o'clock. Mr.. NcCurry took his money
out of the cash drawer placed II in
small canvas bag and locked II in
the ticket case instead of putting II in
the safe. There IS evidence that the
thief got q piece Of iron Off an eN-
press truck that was standing outside.
and entering the ticket office through
the ticket window. priced the ticket
case open with the iron. All the cir
cumstances indicate that the thief was
not only familiar with the surround
ings: but also with the custom Of Mr..
McCurry in sometimes leaving the
money in the ticket case instead OF
taking 1t over to the freight office and
putting 1t the safe. The theft was
committed at a time when there is
rarely anyone about the passenger
station.

in the conScription system as against

conscription system furnishes oppor-

the lot Of a newspaper man to go to
the war, he should go. There are
very few Of them who would want TO
do anything else.
But II there is any one industry that
Is more important than the newspaper
III the conduct Of the war We would
lake to know what it is, purely as a
matter Of information.
BY the help Of the newspaper. the
government secured the registration Of
all the young men in America between
the ages Of y and 81 in a single day,
and without the help Of the newspa-
pcrs. they would not be registered
until now.
BY the help vf the newspapers the
government secured the inauguration
oil its hcatlcss days III less than IS
hours notice. and without the help of
the newspapers the heatless days
could not have been inaugurated at
all.
BY the help Of the newspapers the
government has tioated three Liberty
loans and without that help the first
Liberty loan would not yet have been
tloated.
II the registration was not neces-
sary to the conduct of the war. nor the
hcatlcss days, nor the Liberty loans,
then the newspapers are not neces-
sary: but otherwise it would seem
that the contrary is the case.
We venture that Gen. Crowder
reads the newspapers every morning
before he drinks his coffee. and every
evening before he takes his tea, and
we venture also that If he was asked
as To why he does this he would give
as reason that he might be better
fitted for the conduct Of the war.
BY each mail, we are receiving pub
licity matter from some one Of n
dozen different governmental depart
mcnts-army, navy. treasury, post
office. regional reserve banks. ETC., all
claiming as their object the conduct
Of the war. and how all or any Of this
stuff would bc of any use unless it is
published We fail to see, and II there
is any other way to secure publicity
for it than through the newspapers,
we are at our rows end TO know how.
According to our view, we have
not the slightest objection to Gen.
Crowder or anybody else saying that
there is as much reason why news
paper workers should 60 to the war
as anybody else. We believe just that;
hut as we have said, when Gen. Crow
der or anybody else says that news
papers are not necessary in the con-
duct of the war. lit gets our goat"
