TEUToN MACHINE IN THE DITCH

From the Mobile Register.
 When the business goes wrong, the partners fall out and quarrel. We do not need to know that things are going badly for the Germans. All we have to do is to listen to what one German says of the others-Deputy Braun, for example, who tells tho Reichstag:
 We are face to face with terrible condition of public morality. We hear of numberless cases of thefts on rail- roads and alarming juvenile criminality {. Profiteering exceeds all bounds and usury is rampant among all classes. /. q. Official bodies attempt to extort illegal profits. Everybody cheats, steals, grabs, from jail bird to court chamberlain, who cheats the needy home worker out of his scanty earnings, and pockets millions. And the longer the war lasts the worse it becomes"
 There is every reason to believe that this description fits the case, and that the civil government in Germany has broken down almost completely; also, that the people have lost their confidence in themselves and are ripe for desperate actions. The efficient machine fails to work under conditions unfavorable to 1t; and very probably it will be swept away in the torrent of public discontent tha. is now threatening the bureaucracy of Germany.

A HUsBAND,s TRTBUTE

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 The late Charles Warren Fairbanks in his will left s50000 to the city of In- dianapoiis and number of bequests to charitable institutions Among the lat ter he named one which he wished to make a memorial to his wife, whom he names in the following tribute:
 ''The said sum with the interest there- on shall be known as The Cornelia Cole Fairbanks Memorabilia commemorate the life and virtues of a great woman, who was an inspiration to better livins and doing and whose holy influence gratefully acknowledge. She was an ideal Christian wife and mother, making home an altar of love and devotion; patriot who inculcated love of country and it's institutions; a. lover of Indianap- olis, who sought to advance US intellec- tual, moral and physical well being; friend Of the poor, counting no service of sympathy in their behalf too great. She was democratic in manner and thought scholar and a speaker of at tractive and persuasive power; friend and wise counselor of the young and passionate lover of her own sex, which she was eager to exalt."
 MT. Fairbanks was known as a cold man in public life and undoubtedly he belonged to strain in our American blood which is not given to demonstra- ton and spontaneous expression, bus there is nothing cold about the simple. sincere ords in which he voices hEs- bands devotion and appreciation of q good wife. They were an ideal American married couple, founding their happiness and prosperity on Christian faith, pa- triotism, public spirit, and mutual love and loyalty. It is well to pause mo- ment amid the rush of great events to give thought to these things which have meant so much in our life and to emphasize their importance in keeping among our institutions what seem to be disintegrating to some extent-the mar. riage tie and the home.

MIssING-A SUBMARINE BASE

From the New Ork WOrlu.
 The reward of s1o0o offered by Rear Adimral Usher for authentic informa tion of any actual submarine base" i'll Amrican waters is not excessive. As much may often be earned by restoring lost pearl necklace, and to locate the missing U-hoat haven ought to be worth $l 100000 at least to the government. But the offer should stimulate some of the many persons who know positively of it's existence to go in search of it. No doubt the navy will cooperate if neces- safy by lending coast patrol vessel for the quest.
 The whole trouble, of course. is with the authentic information" There was authentic information of the presence of a submarine base on the coast of Maine sometime ago, but it went the way oi the other authentic information about the million enemy rifles in New York Yet the Atlantic coast is long, apart from the Mexican shore line, and Prussian U-boat warfare is devilish sly.
 So the opportunity is an exceptional one for amateur sea strategists, and what the reward lacks in size will pe offset by the fame of the discovery. if 1t is made. So far the navy has been un. able to find clue to any scubmarine base, and the best official opinion dis credits its existence. But the question is still open to proof, and the searchers might also keep an eye out for. the air plane base from which New York is to be raided.

 The reason why man gets so mad when he is stung in get-something- for-nothing transaction is because he expected to sting the other fellow.

RUSSIAN TRAVEL IN WARTIME

Volga river journey. It never loses it's human interest.
 ''The peasant women and children arc patient, pleasant and shrewd merchants Neither they nor their customers are bothered by such trifles as dust or germs; for the only booths of this bazaar are baskets and a few feet of earth along the dusty dock or it's approaches Here round loaves of dusky bread, IS to A
 Inches in diamter, are displayed, that they may later be gathered to the bosoms of hungry passengers and borne to their cabins. Lucky IS the soldier who can pillow his head upon one of these loaves by night and munch upon it by day.
 The idea of Russia's plenty is visual ized along the river. Upstream ships are laden within and without with great cloht covers. At some small ports there are literally thousands of watermelons on display. Small fruits are abundant Scme things are even cheap at places, as watermelon for 10 or 15 cents and loaf of bread for about the same.
 Much of the fresh produce must go to waste. The passengers on the boats do their utmost to prevent that undesir- able fate for edibles, for they seem to be always eating, eating. eating. I can not recall a single stroll around the deck, at any hour of day or night, when did not see somebdy eating and drink
 ing. The overcrowded peasants on the deck below and the saloon passengers above are alike in this, that they are continually producing from their stores some sort of food to be eaten with the ever-present tea.
 ''Stil1, one need not always study his fellow passenger. There is the scenery of the shore, which, further down, in- c1udes the villages of the various Tartar tribes, with their round houses that look like haystacks; and far reaches of roll-
 ing meadow land and wheat fields, and hills and forests, and sand dunes and towns and cities, with the wild ducks and geese flying between.
 'eThen there is the incessant procession of boat life; 2o00 steamships regularly ply upon the Volga. Big barges, in groups of five or six, with half a dozen small boats clustered like barnacles be- hind, are lowed by sidewheel tugs. Fish ing craft, manned by Karmacks and other natives, glide by or are passed at anchor. From the shore comes the sound of church bells, made musical by travelling over the water"

IT'S A LONG, LONG ROAD

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 60uE late Charles w. Fairbanks evil
 dcntly was believer in the per
 S raanency of contemporary insti- tutions He at least entrusted them with $50, ,oOO, the income to be distributed every 50 years for the benefit of social welfare work, and .the trust to be terminated at the end of 500 years. that is, Anno Do- mini 24lS.
 Patrick Henry, a well-known Virgin- ian, who had way of saying things which have been declaimed by school clared that the only way to judge the future is by the past" Let us apply Pat rick iIenry's test to this Fairbanks trust. Let us imagine trust terminat- ing in 1918, and conjure up before us the conditions under which it began to roll down. through it's five centuries. Whas was going on in AIS, and thereabouts? John Russ and Jerome of Prague had been incinerated but three years before by the order of the Council of Constance. lellSlOiS LlSSQOul was Juot WIS ihiAAAAS eO break through the bigotry of the medie- val age.

Italy's Soldiers on
 Their Mettle Again

1PHE splendid achievement of the
 4 Italians, who hurled the Aus trians back across the Piave, with a loss to the dual monarchy of nearly 100000 men, shows there is nothing wrong with Italy's morale. The Aus trians have not only been repulsed in an ambitious attempt to advance, but they have suffered what amounts to a sharp defeat
 The glory of Italian arras is greatly enhanced The bitter memory of those 'days when Cadorna's troops let the Teuton hosts come through is being obliterated. If the Austrian leaders, las reported, actually believed the Italians would not fight, they miscal- culated woefully and paid a heavy price for their blunder.
 It is true that French and British troops came to the assistance of Italy and have not been inactive, playing Ia heroic part in keeping the foe at bay, but there is no desire anywhere to make light of Italy's rejuvenated army. Her troops must be given the major credit for what has been done, even though their fighting spirit was heightened by the presence of veteran troops from the western front, long used to the wiles of the Hun.
 The end is not yet, of course. Another offensive will be launched against Italy, but confidence in the allied line to hold back the hordes of Wilhelm and Charles is supreme.
