long time. There are a few secrets which the military
authorities of the several nations viii keep sealed up
tn casa they may boone useful again. But a good many
things which were kept under cover during the war are
now being made known. and among them are a good
many facts relating to the war against the submarines.
The fact that stands out most conspicupusly in this
connection is that, while the resources Of science we're
the submarines were checked and beaten by hard work
and close observation rather than by the employment Of
any OF the miraculous devices by means Of which en-
thusiasts supposed that the subnaerstbles were to be put
out of business.
The submarine telephone was one of the most eff
fective devices used for locatink submarines. II WAS
not new, but for the purpose OF the war it was brought
to a degree of perfection never before approached. There
were improvements in various forms Of explosives. and IN
mechanical devices such as steel nets. But. of all the
mysterious devices which were at different times hailed
as complete solutions Of the problem, not one was used.
Many thousands Of suggestions were received and
considered by the authorities. The naval men did not
take kindly to these proposed new-tangled contraptione.
This may have been due in part to the conservation of
men trained along a certain line. and who were suspicious
OF any departure from the regular course. But it was
DUE also, to certain very practical considerations. When
II Germans launched their unrestricted submarine cam
pa1sn a situation was created which had to be met on
the instant. The submarines were there, and they were
engaged in their work of murder day after day. Assuming
that any Of the plans suggested had given promise of
good results, it was not enough that these should be
invented and adopted. They must be manufactured. and
after their manufacture ships must be equipped with
them. All Of this would have taken SO much time that
before it could be done effectively the need would have
disappeared. for the Germans would have destroyed an
the commerce anoat.
Accordingly, utilizing from time to time such i'm
proved devices as seemed useful, and which could he
installed, the naval men placed their main reliance on
the methods which have characterized tn sea service from
time inansmorial. They sailed out into the deep, taking
their lives In their hands, and hunted the enemy through
the seven ss. Thy relied on the staunchnss and swift
ness Of their ships and tho indomitable spirit OF their
men. And, whether the Stars and Stripes or the Union
Jack flew over them, those men responded and the en-.
cny was foiled.

MIGRATION THE REMEDY

Among the many methods which have been sues
gested for lodging the high cost of living, we have seen
no mention made Of the possibilities that lie in migration
to the far north. Yet why does not the solution lie in
tnat direction? stefansson, the Arctic explorer. has shed
a great light on that hitherto little known region. Tha,
the far north is a region of ice and snow we have all
understood, and this is not disputed. But the north has
more than ice and snow. Although not literally f1owins
with milk and honey, it has an abundance Of the ma
terial for food, fuel, clothing and shelter. Carbon and
musk oxen abound and grow fat on the nutritious grasses
which cover vast areas OF what we have called barren
lands. And the great ocean itself teens with seal, which
can be applied to many uses.
On his last tap stefansson kept careful account Of
the ammunition used and Of the meat which this am.
nnunidon provided. He reports that for every pound OF
ammunition used his party secured something over a
ton OF meat part OF which was used for food and the
rest for fuel. Just think Of it. A ton Of meat for 3
dollars worth of bullets! Where, lin the lands that ve
call~ctvihzed. can a ton of meat be procured at any such
price? Here the ratio Of value would come nearer pound
for pound. @
Asoe 1rom the a*tractiveness which the cheapness
of food gives to life in the far north. the same bullets
which provide tho food supply the fued at the same
operation; and a blubber fire will keep a house wa no
and supply heat for cooking. That is all that anv o,he,
fuel does.
In the matter Of clothing and shelter, one NAV dress
all the time in furs that would cost a mint of money
here, and do it without spending a cent. Rui,d;r. -.
terial is abundant-in fact, tnezhausttble. Nature, with
a lavish hand, supplies the snow from which comfortable
houses arc built. and the supply is renewed faster Than
it can possibly DO used up.

LET GERMANY STAY. AT HOME

II there is any good basis for the report that Ger
many has an army Of 10000 men which she proposes to
send into Russia, ostensibly to the support of Admiral
Kolchak, the situation DIS one which demands and which
probably will receive. very prompt attention from the
Allies. 1t certainly has not been intended that, with
the ink not yet dry on her signature to the peace treaty;
Germany should send armed expeditions abroad to redress
grievances and settle the affairs of other people. It was
decreed that the German army should be limited n a
mere police force for the specific purpose Of making It
impossible for her to NEEDLE in other peoples affairs.
ana she should be held very rtgidly to both the letter and
the spirit OF that compact. II there is any way Of getting
an idea into their heads, the men who are managing
German affairs should be made to understand tha, q

PROFIT SHARING

Profit sharing has been opposed by many prominent
Representatives of, organized labor on the ground that the
system would be used by employers to force from their
employees the maximum amount of work for the mini
mum wage. The same objection has been urged against
piece work. And the facts Of the situation gave these OBJ
jections a good deal of force. We have had less expert
ence with profit sharing, but piece work is an old story.
That a man should be paid according to the work
that ne does is reasonable and logical. And it is on this
basis that the piece work plan has been advocated. But
1t is a fact Of record that in many cases the stimulus
given to individual, production by the use of the piece
work system was used in such a manner that. the output
OF the fast worker, operating under high tension, became
the standard on which the wage of the normal worker
was based. The normal worker presently found himself
unable to earn a normal wage except by means of abnor-
NAL exertion.
The same sort of result has been feared. and doubt
less in some cases it has been realized. but from the
adoption Of profit sharing plans. The division of profits
has often been made in the form Of a gift, or bonus, and
the average man does not like the idea Of a bonus, If
no earns money he likes to get it in the regular way,
and to feel all the time that it is his. And, as in the
case of piece work. there was the tendency to keep reg
ular wages at a low level In order to realize profits out
OF which these bonuses might be paid.
But. Notwithstanding these objections, all Of which
have force, settlement in favor of profit sharing seems
to be growing. and efforts are made to devise plans which
will preserve the beneficial features and avoid the dis
advantages Of the system.
The ideal system would appear to be one which
would provide first for a certain fixed and reasonable
wage for the employe and a similar fixed and reasonable
return on the capital necessarily used in the business, and
in the division OF all further profits in proportion to the
contribution in labor or capital of each individual. Such
q system would make every individual engaged in a bust
ness a direct partner in it. 1t would stimulate the spirit
OF cooperation, and would afford a proper incentive to
individual effort.

THE BRITISH N A

The arguments of the representatives of various or
sanizations Of persons of Irish origin who appeared be-
fore the senate committee on foreign relations to plead
the cause of Irish political independence would have
been more convincing to a good many people IL the at
tempt had not been made to strengthen them by dras-
9tns in the DOGGY OF the menace to the United States OF
British navalisln. The committee urged the rejection of
the League Of Nations plan because, as was asserted, that
plan was calculated to strengthen the British naval power
and thus to endanser the United States
There may be some good arguments in favor Of Irish
Independence. but that is not one of them The United
States has nothing to fear from Great Britain, on land
or on sea, beyond the same sort of commercial and in
dustrial rivalry that exists between cities and sections
Of the same country. and if the people of the United
States cannot take care of themselves in a contest Of that
character a good many of US have a mistaken estimate
DfS their character. a
War, or the threat of war, between these two great
Saxon is resented when applied to the United States.
and it is pointed out that our population is of such a cos
1nopolnan character that no racial name can properly be
applied to 1t. Nevertheless. regardless of the racial origin
OF millions OF our people, in sentiment, in ideals in in
stituions and in traditions, this nation is fully as Anglo
Saxon as is the British empire, and that term more ac-
curately describes it than any other that could be used.
There Is a close kinship between the two nations in all
the things that go to make up national life, and within
the bonds Of that knship there has grown up an under
standing that will never be interrupted by war.
For more than a hundred years the two nations have
been at peace, and that peace has been maintained, not
by a show of force and a balancing of strength, but by
considerations that have grown out Of a common inheri-
lance and the pursuit of the same great ideals. There
have been Misunderstanding between the two peoples,
Friction has developed. But in every case. as a matter Of
course. whatever adjustments have been deemed neces-
sary have been reached nationally and quietly without
even a gesture which would imply an intent to appeal to
force. r
