TRUTH FROM GERMANY. Strange as it may seem, we are at ast really beginning to hear truth- ul statements from Germany. Not hat her statesmen have ceased en- irely to fal ntrigue—that would be too much,— yut we see in von Hertling's latest kpeech delivered before the Reich- sag a few utterances which are truth- ful, whether he meant them to be so, br not. And that is what makes reading his address worth while. The first instance wherein the Ger- man chancellor furnished us with such a pleasant surprise is the state- ment that Germany committed wrong in violating Belgium’'s neu- tr Von Hertling is not the first hancellor to make such an admission, Bethmann-Hollweg, who was premi- sr when the Huns invaded the realms of Albert shocked his hearers King Junkers by August 4, 1914, that on did wrong in violating Bel- gium’s neutrality”. For this unpar- lonable admission of guilt, the Pan- jermanists never forgave him; they 50 harassed and attacked him in open iebate, in the subsidized press and at public meetings, that he was finally forced to resign in favor of the no- torious Zimmermann. In view of the >pposition to Bethmann-Hollweg on account of this admission, sould fr »ffice should repeat his statement and never be revoked, we are nkly astonished that a sucessor in a storm arouse of protest similar to former out of that if hat which forced the office.

Timiting Train Travel. (The Springfield The last The zilian liguidation Republican.) pronouncement of Theo- dore H. Price, Actuary of the United States Railroad Administration, 1is based on the text, “Stay at home un- less travel is unavoidable.” The pur- pose of this request is to relleve the railroads nger congestion. Mr. Price “The passenger equipment of the railroads when they were taken' over by the Government was barely equal to the demands then made upon it. It cannot be enlarged the present without restricting some necessary war activity.” He therefore concludes that “everyone who feels disposed to take a trip these days ought to seriously ask him- self whether it is necessary or can- not be postponed before he buys his ticket Such a rule, applied earlier in the summer and applies strictly, might have ruled out all vacation trip. the Railroad Administration the public that facilities for travel would be available. probably does not mean that cial visits shonld be eliminated, that work and business should be the only missions of those who travel. The girl who is employed in a city or village distant from her home will probably think that she has the right to visit her parents occasionally. And the man whose work requires him to be separated from his family will feel that his occasional week-end visit home is but a proper and well- earned furlough. With industry run- ning at top pitch, the workers require occasionally change and relaxation, and this may now and then involve travel by train, It would be interesting to know just how much passenger business is de- sired by the railroads. Some people have doubtless been annoyed crowded cars, and Mr. Price’s state- ment may be indirectly a reply to complaints. On Sunday and Monday of this week trains were running with “standing room only.” But, under the circumstances, it was to be expected, and few secemed disposed to grumble. With the passing of the vacation season and the closing of the shore places, there will invariably be travel for pleasure. But one does not know whether Railroad Ad- ministration wants to be filled merely to their capacity, whether it desires a diminished a va Mr. Price all so- and is by less the trains or amount | earning of | travel, so that trains can be dispatch- d with fewer cars. Some passenger trains that in New England on Saturday, y and Monday were $20 and $30 a mile. Locomotives were taxed up to their capacity, but not above it. This, in a word, was “good business," s has been said, Mr. Price has a remedy for the situation, namely, that people shall stay at home. FHe ob- serves truly that “there are lots of journeys that are a waste of both and time, and that * ‘home, home’' is a pratty good and place after all.” But he does stop there, He suggests that hose who feel a desire to roam hould read—he tactfully says ‘‘re- read,” assuming that all have read the book once—George William Cur- tis's story, “Prue and L,” in which are described the imaginary journeys of an old bookkeeper and his wife, who, “being unable to afford that cost of travel, found exquisite pleasure in imagining that they were visiting the places described in the books of travellers.” So it is, after all, a liter- ary remedy that is proposed. And, of course, Mr. Price need not have stopped with this one instance of vic tory of imagination over circum- stances. ran Sunds between money sweet stful ot Corn Storm Missing. (New London Day.) August, and thus far September has passed without the -proverbial “corn storm.” We have escaped the gales that so frequently smite the shore and countryside in late summer or early autumn. The corn storm is not really a nor- mal thing. It doesn't come every year, by any means, but just often enough to make a tradition. But it comes, on the long average of lifetimes a great deal more often than the experience of late years would seem to give us reason to ex- pect. . There’s an interesting old book called “Historic Storms of New Eng- land,” which tells all about the more striking weather events which have taken place here since the first settle- ments and the very first hurricane, when that weird old man of Ipswich went out to sea in his skiff, with dog. “that he had taught to steer,” declaring in spite of warnings, “T will go to sea if the devil himself were there”—and evidently encountered the demon, for he never came hack. From that time down until the present generation, at intervals more or less long or short, according to the run of luck, tropical storms have swung in upon the coast from the At- lantic about this time of year and worked sad havoc with wind, rain and tide. The longest interval in all these centuries is the interval now surely drawing to a close. We're due and over-due for one of these twisters that will rip trees if they were bushes and push the seas up upon the lower shores in mighty damaging floods. The last visitation of the sort worth mentioning was in 1893, and the two storms of August in that year were weak imitators of such tempests as came in 1857, 1815 and 1804 There’s nothing in the current son to indicate the likelihood of severe gales for 1918. Except that blamed “low of averages.” But it's a good idea to “watch out” all the same. The Maine Election. (New York Tribune.) Maine’s verdlct, therefore presages the election of a republican house of representatives. And for this reason: In 1916 the republicans lost many seats In the states west of the Missi sippi because of the eagerness of that ection to re-elect Mr. Wilson on the “he Kkept us out of war” issue. That issue is dead. The far west is as unit- ed for the war now as the rest of the country Normal political condi- tions are returning. There doesn’t seem to be any democratic party left in California, for instance. Mayor Rolph of San Francisco recently cap- tured the nomination for governor in the democratic primary. And now the election laws will not let him run be- cause he was defeated as a candidate in the republican primary. There are a dozen to 15 seats in the house, lost west of the Mississippi in 1916, which the republicans ought to regain. They are also due for a larger representation from Ohio. These changes would make the house safely republican. The republicans ought also to gain enough seats in the senate to wipe out the present democratic majority in that body. That is what the election in means. The republican party is still normally the majority party in the country. And the voters would be only following a natural impulse in turning to it as an organization en- titled to larger power and responsi- bility in carrying the war to a succe: ful concusion. (Portland Press.) It is true that the republican candi- date for governor, Carl E. Milliken, who was the target for abuse, misrep- resentation and attack, was cut verely in some sections of the state, but when it is considered that Gov- ernor Milliken practically made no campaign and did attempt until the last week to answer the attacks which had been made upoa him, his clection should be regarded as a great personal victory and a powerful com- mendation for the kind of administra- tion he has been giving the state dur- ing his two v in office. Moreover, the word has been sent throughout the country that Maine stands staunchly by the republican principles; that it stands for lovalty to the government and for the vigor- ous prosecution of the war and that it Zoes on record as indorsing the kind of a representation it has been afford- ed by its senators and representatives in congress, who have all along stood with the government and supported every administration measure which had for its purpose the winning of the war. (Philadelphia Bulletia.) Maine politics lacks the national in- terest that attached When the names of its men, like Blaine and Dingley, Hale, Reed, Boutelle and Maaley, were familiar the country over, but the s*ate is none the les typical, and its quiet performances of its electoral functions, undisturbed, if not entirely unaffected, by war, is indicative of the even bal- \ce of the national mind at this time as sea- Maine not and its ability to distinguish between its respective duties to war and poli- tics. (New York Times.) In 1916, when Mr. Hughes carried Maine by only a little more than 5,000 votes, Mr. Hale, the republican can- didate for scnator, beat the democrat- is nominee by more than 10,000 votes. There was a bitter and personal cam- paign against Mr. Hale, and in his own party considerable -opposition. Mr. Fernald, republican candidate for the short term in the senate, defeated his democratic competitor by more than 13,000 votes. This year Mr. Fernald, candidate for the long term, wins by something over 12,000 votes. Compar- ing a dull with a *presidential” year, Mr. Fernald's and the republican vie- tory seems indisputable. (Boston Herald.) Maine voters thus indicate to in our poitical battles in thi state we must meet more or less nor- mal and expected conditions. Demo- cratic districts will go democratic, re- publican districts will go Very few people are foolish to believe it nece The us that enough sary to vote for a democratic candidate in order to in- dorse the war policies. (Springfield Republican.) A pleasing feature of the election was the absence of any “loyalty” issue, There was talk, to be sure, about vot- ing for the ts and thus sup- porting the war, but the talk was, to use the evitable word, mere ‘“‘camou- flage.” Maine's republican congress- men and Senator Fernald have never failed to support the administration in prosecuting the war, and Malne voters were aware of the fact. (Boston Eveaing Transcript.) The results of the Maine elections are full of light and leading for thoughtful people who take the trou- ble to analyze the returns. The demo- crats were on the offensive. Their o b- jectives were the defeat of one re- publican United States senator, four republican congressmen, a republican governor, a republican legislature and other republican state and county of- ficers. The that only 1 to both houses of congres: state was it possible to “support the president in the war.” The republican defensive on the stump was that ret- erence to the record revealed that war legislation at Washington recommend- ed by the president had repeatedly been saved from failure in both houses by republican votes, with the Maine delegates well in the lead. They charged the democrats with “patri- oteering” and contended that personal loyalty to America did not depend up- on political allegiance to any president or party. They pointed to thousands of republicans among the men of Maine with the colors as proof that in the winning of the war the presi- dent could count upon the support of republican senators and congressmen at Washington as surely as he could upon the support of republican sol- dlers and sailors with the colors. Ap- pareatly the people of Maine are of the republican opinion. s the election of democrats and in the Man-Power Committees, (Detroit The new Government proposal to set up man-power committees in the draft districts throughout the country, accountable to a certain military and industrial man-power organization at Washington, would seem to be an ex- cellent one. By such means it is hoped to co-ordinate the work of conserving the essential labor of the country and &t the same time provide in the fullest degree for the needs of the military services. Similar organizations are in existence in the belligerent countries abroad and have reduced to a mini- mum the friction hetween the combs tant and non-combatant branches of war work despite the fact that there has come to he very real shortage of available man-power for both In this country where, in numbers at least, there is no present day sign of man-power shortage, it would seem possible for the two branches to work in entire harmony and with full jus tice to each. It is apparently only a matter, at least, largely, of organization and forethought. Regarding the working of the draft, heretofore and especially in its early days, although the Government issued very full instructions designed to re- lease from combatant service the skilled labor that was to be necessary to keep our industrial effort at 100 per cent. efficiency, unfortunately a number of conditions conspired to defeat the complete success of the plans, with the result that many of those who should now be in essential occupations are instead in camp or in France. One of the most important of these conditions and one that the draft offi- cials have found very hard to combat is the apparent lack of interest of the average manufacturer in co-operating in this work of exempting the veally skilled and necessary labor from the call to arms. It is safe to say that had there been proper team work by the employers from the start, much of the present tight conditions in the matter of labor man-power through- out the country would never have arisen, We take it that the new commit- tees, which wiil represent the Provost Marshal General's office, the War Policies Board and the War Industries Board, will do much to make the de- cisions of the local draft boards more scientific in the matter of labor ex emptions. But despite this new factor in the situation it still will be impos. sible to get the best results unles: there is an awakening of the employ- ers to their duty in the matter. It is obviously to their interests as much as to the Government's to see that the needs of industry are met now and in the uncertain future out of the more than sufficient man-power of the country Horses At Newport.

Paris, Sept. 26, (Havas)—Pieter J. Troelstra, the Dutch socialist leader, has failed in his effort to create an international socialist bureau, with headquarters at Berne, it is reported here. He has conferred with Swiss socialists and it is said that soclalists from several Entente countries, not- ably Italy, went there to confer with him. It is understood that the bu- reau, if created, would have had a de- featist tendency and that efforts were to have been made to spread the movement through all countries at war with Germany. Pro-Germans in the United States were to have been approached by agents of the bureau, it is said. WILL AID LOCAL CAMPAIGN. Manager L. M.
