The Tribe isn't losing when 1t comes
to the game a day affairs, but in the
battle down the stretch for the flag
the chances are small. very. very
small. The White Sox need win only
two more tits to clinch the pcnnant.
but the Indians are remaining in the
fight to the last stand. They have
copped eight of their last nine games.

old fight when they're losing.

the tourney all her own way. but the
grandoldopc was knocked to the gulley
and the crstwhilc champ will seat her
self on the green sward and regard the
others today.
The match today will he n great test
of tennis. Miss Walsh, who wears a
Croix dc Gucrrc for wheeling an ambu-
lance in France. is welt a-top her game,
and the lanky young lady is going to be
hard to topple. Miss Thayer. how
over, has been playing some of the best
tennis of the tourney.
She has figured where the going hos
been bitter and has come down to the
scmifnals by some bally fine stroking
and passion for splashing the chalk
on the boundary lines.

BLOW TO FEDERAL. OWNERSHIP.

W hen prota conist of great theory confesses publicly that he has revised his views, it follows that the theory is radically wrong. In the past, Postmaster General BurIcson. who is director of telephones, telc- graphs and cables, has been an ex- pressed advocate of federal ownership Of those utilities and has recommend ed that they be ta ken oVer permanent ly at the conclusion of peace. His an- nouncement yesterday that he favors the return of the systems to their pri- vate owners is a mortal blow to the champions of government ownership.
 Since MT. Burleson assumed control of electric communica ton ia cilitics he has been roundly criticized. Some Of this adverse opinion may have been inspired by personal dislike of Mir. lBurleson on the part of the critics. But much of it has been founded on a decline in the quality of the service and an incline in the cost. Mr. Burle- son has been between two fires-he has been attacked by those who work under his authority and by the peo- pie whose money contributes iowa rd the continuation of the service,' by his employees and his. employers. Consc- quently there was no alternative other than his suggestion that the Prcsid cnt proclaim the return of the cables and { Congress proclaim the return Of the land wires to their private owners.
 There is more involved than a sur render of MT. Burleson. Tho princi- pie of government ownership is big
 ger than the man or his record. Fed cral control has been exercised under the most favorable conditions which would have been impossible except for the war. The wires have been in the hands of one man armed with Sll- prene authority. And the theory that they could give better service at less cost-the true object in govern m ent ownership-has proved to be a myth.
 Mir Burl2sons change in heart weakens the cause of those who are still clam bring for the government to own and conduct the; railroads.

From being a leader of a progress stve. though grasping, people to the prisoners pen where he will stand charged with being a public criminal guilty of heinous acts against society such is the descent of William Germany, whom the Allies have de- cided to prosecute for "a supreme of- fcnse against international morality and the sanctity of treaties." This, in f squea rnishncss, which has resulted in 2. partial victory for the moderates in n.s much as the former royal head will probably remain attached to its shouI- ders.
 Since 1914 the world has indicted -Hohenzollern for crimes almost sur passing the ima gina ton. The murder of women and children on tho high to the utmost under the spell of wrath and hate, the starva ton and slavery of non com batants in occu- pied districts-thesc are facts. com pletely established, and it is not nec- essary to believe the stories concern Ing the maiming Of babies, the ravish- ing of women and tho brutal treat ment of old men. Sufficient evidence is at hand to indict this modern Attila without taking into account the un- verified tales hat surscd about our ears like a tidal wave while the tenn porariIy victorious army of this once proud monarch was putting the sword and the torch to Belgium, Ser bia. Northern France and other areas.
 From a cold. legal standpoint per haps MT. Lansing was right when he contcndod that no law existed for the trial Of Hohcnzolern. But only an exaggerated idea Of ethics could pre- vent him from being dra ageed before he bar to answer to the outra ges per petrated- on mankind.N The war woulh have been fought in vain unless warn ing were given for all time to other ambltious princes that they would Dc punished for their misdeeds.

Cats and Game.
tNcw Haven Register. )

lJ
 Comm enting on the action of the house in the manner in which the quietus was put on tho bill to license cats, a man familiar with the game situation in tho state and with the habits of the cat pointed out the fallacy in Inc argument that cats kept down the mice and rats in the barns of the farmers:
 "once let 2 cat get a taste of quail or partridge, once let 1t catch even a single bird, and it's appetite for mic goes, never to return. The vermin may run free from molestation. for the cat will pay no attention to them. It has found a new field for it's ac- tivities.''
 This phenomenon is reported bs all observers of the habits of the cat in localities where there is oppor- tunity for it to hunt in the fields. Its effect upon tho game supply. it's in jury to the sincere anC earnest cf- forts made by sportsm to afford opportunity for wild game to propa- gate and in crease in tho state is self evident. The sportsmer of the state united with the bird lovers in fa- voring the bill. not because they de-
  interests Of agriculture, knowing that unless every help be given to game propagation and protection, the quail. partridge and pheasant will not only become rarer than they now are. put will disappear entirely. The va grant cal raises havoc with the young or wild birds especially of the quail which builds it's nest and raises its Nonng on the ground. The Vagra nj eat destroys birds whicE help to save the crops of the farmer from injury. The facts in the matter are of record and easily ascertainable.

were profitecrs and that they hoped ducing less
 Now we have the other side or the case from the pen of Richard II. Ed monds, editor of tho Manufa acturers' Record. who conveys the startling in formation, in a letter to tho New York Herald. that "Cotton growing has been@a curse 10 the South from the day it was introduced into that sec ton" The word startling is used ad Nisedly because in the North the pop uar picture Of the cotton grower is a. a high power motor car. \ further inspection of Mi. Edmonds' letter dis closes bis reasons for believing the truth of his opening sentence. He says. that By virtue of conditions that have existed since the Civil War; forced upon the South as the result Of that disastrous struggle. the South has simply been the newer of wood anu me drawer Ol water 6utl 'iI profits have been swallowed up by New England mills which produce the finished cotton goods ready for the counters and shelves of the retail stores.
 In the eyes of Mr. Edmonds. the South has not progressed because of cotton. Poverty has bighted the land and as d consequence "womcn who should have been in their homes and children who should have been in school have been forced to labor on the cotton plantations.' He also de- clares' that Any man, whether he lives in New England or in the South or in Great Britain, who socks to break down the price of cotton is seeking to hold the cotton farm la borers, black and white. in the South in economic slavery and iliiteracN. This is a phase that has not been gen orally understood. We want to pu\ cotton as cheap as possible. but not at the expense of the South's popu'a- ton.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH.

.'When will prices come down:'' is a question asked probably more than any other. The answer of the manu- facturcr is contained in a letter writ ten by the progressive Trumbull Elec trfc Manufacturing Company, located in the iGhboring town of Piainville. sent to a customer and reprinted in the April issue of ''rrumbull Cheer a monthly bulletin published by the concern and distributed among it's customers and employees.
 Under present day circumstances, 1t is obvious. considering the facts in down at once. ''Thc only thing that should regulate the price situa ion is cost of production" is tho sound busi- ness philosophy with which the letter opens Just as soon as a manufactur- CT can get his cost down so that he can sell at a normal profit and still reduce his discount. then is the time to reduce prices," it continues.
 
 that: Wages will not be cut-they must not be cut-it would be the worst thing in the world that could happen :" One of the req sons for high prices is the tremendous overturn in labor, which has been an elusive comm oditS during the war. Labor has been fluid and itinerant seeking fields where efforts would be rewarded with the highest wages. This has been an important factor in the situation, but with labor becoming moro steady and dependable the cost of production should be reduced ma tcriallN.
 1. The letter urges faith in the coun- try. Normal conditions arc returnin g [ slowly and this is not tho hour for pcssimi,m Prices will hold up for some time-if anything drops it is be- cause someone gets panicky ,' is one of the Trumbull observations. i If there is such a thing as industrial psychology. the Trumbull concern may be listed under the heading i "chccrful and smiling" It is to the i credit of he men in charge of the | factory that their faces are toward i the East. expressing expectancy that 1 the sun of prosperity will rise in the { near future.
