Among those who come under the chas-
tising feruIe of Prof. Broun for writing
too little is Mr. Max Beerbohm. We wish
had saved Max's valedictory in the
Saturday Review, for which he had
written weekly article for fourteen
years. Only a person who has a daily
or weekly -yawning chasm to plug up
can appreciate how Max felt; how every
Thursday he awoke with feeling of
terror; how, if anybody haf told him, four
teen years before, that he would have to
turn out one piece every single week for
fourteen years, he would have suicided
And now that he doesn't have to turn it
out any more we, for one, sympathize
with him. To man who has seen that
blank column, or page, to be filled every
day or every week, writing is no treat
whatsoever.

writes conspicuously too little is Mr.

H0nd-tp-Nouth London

Like New York almost any other large
centre of population London lives from
hand to mouth. Any stoppage of the
transportation lines means an immediate
dislocaton in the system of food collec-
ton and distribution. In normal times
milk, vegetables, fruit, fish and meat ar
rive each morning in large quantities and
are distributed to the consumers in the
forenoon. Consequently, block of forty
eight hours on the lines of communication
is bound to produce a serious economic
situation. Not only is this true of Lon
don, but also of south, southeast and cast
England, which draw most of their sup
plies from the great Covcnt Garden fruit
and vegetable market, Bilingsgate fish
market and Spitalieds, the meat depot
The resident population of London is
much larger than that of New York City.
but nevertheless the suburban passenger
traffic in and around London does not fall
far short of the immense throngs which
move in and out of this city daily. From
every point of the compass suburban
railways radiate from London, and now
that this service is at a standstin the
problem Of transporting London's workers
is impossible of satisfactory solution. But
the government is unlikely to worry about
the fate OF commuters; the greater their
trials and tribulations the less sympathetic
they will be toward the striking railway
men. What has been written about Lon
don is true of Liverpool, Manchester,
Birmingham, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh

No Bolshcrist Rising

have been asked what connection
there is between the labor disturbances in
the sUnitcd States and Great Britain,
whether the unrest in the two countries is
simply natural aftermath OF the great
est war in history, whether there is an
understanding between the American and
British labor leaders, In the last four
years | have seen much Of English labor
leaders, and know many Of them person
ally. From my knowledge of European la
Dor affairs, | doubt that there is any
agreement between leaders Of the two con-
tlncnts to wage united war on capital,
but on the other hand know that they
have discussed a working arrangement for
bcttcrng the conditions Of the laboring
classes. A gigantic conflict between CAPT
tai and labor may be starting, but it is
not timed as to coincide in the two
countries; British labor leaders are fight
ing Independently. The struggle in Eng
land is not a Boshcvst rising; it is not
fight to overthrow capital and establish
communist government. There is no
danger of London becoming another Petro-

May B Ships
 for Foreign Account
Orders for 3,0OO,OOO Gross Tons May Be Placed if It Does Not Interfere With Home Demands.

Washington, May 13.-Orders for possibly three million gross tons of shipping to be built for foreign ac- count in American shipyards may be placed as the result of an order by President Wilson permitting the
 building of such ships provided 1t
 could be done without interfering
 with the construction of the American
 merchant marine. The presidents s
 action was announced in a statement
 issued today at the White House. Officials of the shipping board to- day would not venture more than a guess as to the tonnage American shipbuilders might expect as the re- suit of the order, which it was said had been issued at the suggestion of Chairman Hurley of the shipping board.
 Norway is expected to place large l orders, possibly 100000 tons, and
 France and Italy probably will let contracts for considerable tonnage officials said. France already has al l ready has placed orders for 300 000 l tons in England and may give Amer ican yards a good share of the 1000 900 additional tons which that coun-
 try is expected to require. Italy, ii was said. probably will be in the
 market for approximately 500,00t tons, part of which may be built ir | the United States, but England is no expected to place any orders il | American yards.

Philipp Scheidemann, the German chancellor, has followed the lead taken by President Ebert. In a statement to the national assembly in Berlin, couched in language more forcible than that of Ebert. Scheidemann de- clared that the peace terms are not acceptable to Germany.
 Cheering from all the factions in the chamber, excepting from the benches of the independent socialists, even from the press gallery. greeted the chancellor as he characterized the treaty as a dreadful and murderous" document which would make an enor- nous jail of Germany in which sixty million persons would have to labor or the victors in tho war. The speak CT several times charged deception on Inc part of President Wilson and the sbrogation of his promised fourteen points for peace.
 It is reported that Scheidemann has been informed by the leaders of the two democratic parties and of the rartics of the center that these fac lions will withdraw their representa- lives from the government if the peace treaty is signed.
 Meantime. however. the German ueluipotentiaries al Versailles are con ;inGing their work of assimilating the terms Of the treaty and formulating such protests as they desire to make. while others of the delegation are in Berlin discussing the prospects with the government. Still another German -ote-tho tifth-is to be delivered at the French foreign office Wednesday.

FOR MARCH RAILROADS
 SHOW S5e,952,ooo LOSS

Washington, May E. - Railroad earnings for March as tabulated by the railroad administrat tion show d net income for the federally controlled railroads for the month of March Of $14,095,000, although the average monthly compensation amounts to ap- pro1imately s74.047 .00o. making the net loss to the government for the month about $59, 1852. .000
 Operating revenues for the month of March are estimated at $3I1.520-0OO. Operating expenses last March were s342,152 GOO The net operating reye- nues thus are shown to be S29,36I 900, a decrease of s52,639,000 from March of q year ago.
 The railroad administration explain ed that as present rates are about 25 per cent. higher than a year ago, the increase in operating revenues shows that the total traffic has fallen oil ap- proximately IS per cent. in compari- son with a year ago. Freight traffic has decreased more than IS per cent. from year ago. but due 10 demo1iE ization of troops the railroad adminis- tration estimates that passenger reVe- nues have increased slightly.

 It will be unknown here until the planes start, where they actually will take the air. If the water is rough in the outer bay they will take off in the hafbor as the waves outside might stave in their hulIs.

 Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel for tho defendant, and Attorneys Alfred J. Murphy and Alfred Lucking, for MT. Ford, were in many clashes during the day over the lines of examination. MT. Luclling accused Mr. Stevenson of seeking to get before the talesmen ar guments for military preparedness which MT. Lucking said. MT. Steven- son knew could not be brought in as evidence later.

EllHu ROOTS VIEWS ON
 OPERATION OF RAILROADS

St Louis, Mo, May 13.-Compulsory federal incorporation of railroads, gov ernment guarantees of income and the removal of the roads from the juris- diction of the present state commis- sions, as steps proposed prior to the return of the railroads to private own ership were condemned by Eiihu Root in & letter read today before the Missouri Bankers convention in ses- sion here. Mr. Roots letter was read by S. Davies Warfeld, president of the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, who had request ed an opinion from MT. Root as ad- visory counsel to the association.
 As an alternative MT. Root unqual- ifiedly endorsed the plan put forward by the security owners association under which congress would fix a fair rate of return for the railroads of each rate making district as a whole and require the rate-making authorities to fix rates which would presumtively yield that return. In the event of any road making any more the prescribed turn the excess would be taken by the government and used to promote public interest in transportation.
 A general rate fixed by the govern ment for all railroads. MT. Root con- tends, has this defect: if the rate is fixed so as to give a fair return to weak roads it will give an excessive return to the strong roads while if the rate is fixed on the basis of an equit- able return to the strong roads it , would drive out of bushes their weaker competitors.
 In regard to federal incorporation Mir Root says There is only one [ avoHed purpose which could be ob-
 tained by this plan and that is te
 withdraw the railroads entirely from i the jurisdiction of the state commis- sions. This is unnecessary because
 congress has power to authorize the federal rate making authorities tt
 overrule the state commissons."
 The proposal for a government
 guaranty is objected to by MT. Roo
 on the ground that as the governmen must make the guaranty there would
 be neither opportunity nor incentive for private enterprise in the manage
 ment of development of railroads.
