This was the first Positive reminder of what war is; it { the Herald.) The first real 9.— it will strengthen the to crush immensely pation in its determination such ruthless militarism. America | has been the least bitter of all of Germany’s enemies, and might have been ustful to Germany at the peace table; but Germany's ruthlessness has foolishly destroyed any spirit of con- sideration that once might have been of advantage to her, and has accom- plished nothing but solidifying the | bonds between us and our Allies and confirming the resolution for victory. Aside from this event there has been a subsidence of peace rumors sm. That distress nal discontent are widespread in | Germany, hastening the termination of the war, is well known over here; but it is unwise to underrate the en- | durance of Germany's military ma- chine, which has a firm grip upon the home situation and will suppress all uprisings with a relentless hand. gov- hand, and the ubmission of the authority and | and inter- ernment on the one characteristic ready German people to rystem at all times, the immediate | outlook for any internal uprising that | would quickly terminate the war, is not overencouraging. It is true that political dissensions in Germany are growing very rapidly, and that con- | ditions in Russia and Austria are { highly confusing; but it must be re- | membered that in German people have no means of expr | their will, such as exists in United States, France or England. JPor all practical purposes the political power of Germany is entirely in the hands of the emperor and his military advisers, who have nothing to gain | by peace, unless on their own terms, ! which as every nation but Germany knows are impossible. The war must, therefore, be one of exhaustion or at- trition; victory coming only to the side which can do the t kill- ing. Such is the hornible, vet per- fectly logical, outcome of the crime of militarism. Initiative of all kinds is almost en- tirely concentrated at Washington, whither it has drifted from nearly all {the great industrial and financial centers. Whether it is a question of fuel, food, clothing, transportation, fi- nance or manufacture, all these gre divisions of business endeavor have fallen more or less completely under the spell of Government control; and the process is still going on. At first our business leaders were summoned to Washington for advice; then they volunteered for service; then for vari- ous reasons many rcturned, and final- Iy the Administration umed closer :nd closer control over various indus- tries; until in some ca notably in transportation, it has gone about as far as possible without actnal Gov- ernment ownership; and in the case of ships in foreign trade ownership already an actual fact. Of cours these revolutionary steps were oro- posed and accepted as purely war measures, because the necessary con- centration and co-operation on a vast and intensive scale could be accowm- plished in no other fashion. Such a wholesale readjustment of our busi- ness machinery at a time when indus- tries most aftected by were under intense pressure, meant a large degree of confusion and demorali tion. The sweeping chang thus made necessary seriously imps the morale of large industries in rank file and among the higher officials, riously delaying production and teris counteracting the effo speeding up. Full efficiency, ther has too often been more a matter of talk than accomplishment, and ths Administration has had to face some hostile criticism, which had the de- sired effect of stimulating effort, and it is to be hopc ill result in elimin- ation of any inefliciency. As a matter of justice it must be said: that the Administration has on i hands a herculean job; that its short comings, if any, were no worse than might have been expected; that after all great things had been accomplished, and that when the new administrators have become accustomed to the new order of things, the working .of the Government and the industries under its control would hecome more factory. One of the most the nd se- ma- for fore, i5- important propos- als from Washington for the crea- tion of a $500,000,000 financial insti- tution to aid and finance the essen- tial war industries and regulate new security issues.

Progre is being made in the new railroad bill now before Congress, the and neces ment take over control for a period of eighteen months after the establish- ment of peace. As some months must elapse before the war ends, an peace discussions will probably occu- by a year more or less, it will easily be three years or more before 1ihe roads will be returned to their own- ers. The bill cdntains various provi- sions for compensation to the rail- roads, for the self-control of their fi- nances, for the rights of employes, ete. which will relieve the railroads from serious uncertainties for the duration of the war and the eighteen months subsequent. This should help restore the credit of the roads, and serve to remove one of the most serious =le- ments of distrust in the security mar- ket. Stock market operations are beinz conducted upon conservative lines. Liguidation has been unusually thor- ough; few stocks are for sale, and there is good buying on every import- ant decline. Values seem to fluctuate freely within certain limits, proving a healthy degree of elasticity. Of course the controlling factor is the war, peace rumors having a stimulating of- fect and prolongation of the war the reverse. Money is likely to continue firm in view of Government require- ments, and the granting of credit may be confined as much as possible to necessary demands. The Tuscania incident exercised n decidedly sobering effect and natural. ly tended to depression. We are now approaching a critical period. Prep- arations are undoubtedly being made by ever belligerent for energetic prosecution of the war with the open- ing of spring which is drawing near. Present inactivity at the front is not without its significance. Germany appreciates that she is perhaps facing the final decision. This ds certainly the hope of the Allies. HENRY CLEWS.
