Forty million is the lowest estimate made of the Uni- ted States treasury deficit for the year ending June 30 and it 1is Possible that it will run much higher, even to twice that amount all of Which reflects no credit upon the democratic administration. Contributing to this large deficit is the democratic tariff bill which ma-~ terially reduced its revenue- by the deep cuts which were made. Thus foreign business was relieved of much of the contribution which it had been giving previously. To make up for that loss a bigger burden has been placed upon the people of this coun- try by the laying of an income tax end the collection of a war tax. In spite of this Insufficient amount of revenue and, as has now been dis- closed, & too small tax the fact is to be realized that the full effect of the tariff cut has not as yet been felt. ‘There is still a greater decrease to come when the free sugar provision Eoes into full effect. _Blame for the condition is being placed upon the war but it is to be remembered that thers is no telling what condition this country would be in today but for the boost which it has brought to business in many lines. It is the war which has done what the tariff for revenue only was promised to do, and nothing shows the wrong basis upon which such a policy is founded better than the condition of the United States treasury today, ONLY ONE DRAFT NEEDED. “' The report comes from Berlin to the #ffect that the forelsn office Is at orkc upon four drafts and trying to gelect one_that will reconcile the viewpoints of Germany and the Uni- ted States. : Such a waste of time would appear % bo entirely unwaranted.

By their very work of aiding in bringing up uflfi"’&:’ the British army they < selves outside the classification of non-combatants. Just how many of those Americans realized the position in which they were is impossible to tell and this is a matter which needs to be included in the investigation. If they engaged in that work without the knowledge that they were employed on a vessel of the British admiralty they were done a rank injustice. It is a possi- bility which must and undoubtedly will be sifted to the bottom for there cannot be tolerated the pressing into service of Americans even under those conditions. The crew may have been fully informed of 2l the dangers but it is well to know the conditions under which they were engaged to work on the Armenian. MERCHANT MARINE SENTIMENT ‘When it comes td taking the pulse of the country relative to the ques- tion of o merchant marine, it must De realized that the organizations of business men throughout the many states are representative of the feel- ing which exists and when they by an overwhelming majority support the idea of government support, though this does not mean govern- ment ownership, it is time to place some welght upon that declaration. It is of the vital importance that proper consideration be given to bus- iness and one of the opportunities lles in the adequate development of foreign trade. Under normal condi- tions the forelgn trade of this coun- try is handled in ships which fly the flags of other countries. For this very reason this country has failed to get into many of the foreign flelds in a manner which it should. It is a handicap which ought not to exist if there was a proper stimulation for American shipping and a disposition to encourage it along lines which are found advantageous by other coun- tries and which makes it impossible for this country’s capital to enter in- to_successful competition therewith, dollars!” announced the small boy sit- ting on the corner of the curbing, bare “Pooh!” countered the ‘him, in trousers too big uflbafidmv face. “What 'f he has?

See The End of The Rifle. Military experts here are of the opinion that it is highly probable the present war will see the end of the rifle as the principal weapon of infan- ry. According to German agents in Hol- land the German army is rapidly sub- stituting men armed with machine guns in place of rifies. Men 60 armed and protected by concrete works and wire entanglements, can hold off a long line of the enemy. The tendency, it is said,"is to bring up main forces of infantry only in emergencies. At the beginning of the war, Ger- many was credited with having’ 50,000 machine guns. Notwithstanding some heavy losses of these weapons, the factories have been working day and STORIES OF THE WAR Havoe In Poland.

The humid dog days have come at last. Bven when applled to a steamship the name Armenian appears to be only the incentive for an attack on,| humanity. Many of the school and college graduates are already bumping up against the stern realities of the bus- iness world. New York's mystery of Oliver Os- borne is due to rank second with that unsolved question as to who hit Billy Paterson. 3 The man on the corner says: One of the worst things that can happen to youth 13 to become afflicted with chronic vacation. “I did not want this war’ may have been included in the kaisers prayer but he appears to have pre- pared pretty well for it. The certainty in some quarters that Mr. Bryan will be a candidate for president simply makes it so much easier for the opposing candidate, Regardless of what Europe is doing this country cannot afford to do oth- erwise than stick close to the safe and sane celebration of the Fourth. Whatever the appearance may be it is impossible as vet to accept the sinking of the Armenian as-the Ger- man reply to the note on the Lus- itania. There 1s nothing astonishing inthe fact that Uncle Sam insists upon a sensible and harmless celebration of than any other country to recover from the effects of the war. The case of the Belgians, which aroused world-wide sympathy and un- paralleled generosity, for their as- sistance, is plainly not so bad as the case of the Polanders, which as yet has not been so thoroughly understood by the outside world -and which, by reason of this lack of information, or ather causes, has not attracted the in- 4terest that was aroused by the plight of Belgium. In comparison, however, the Belgians had an_easy time in es- caping the horrors of war by flight to England and France, but with the Po- landers it has been a case of facing a gun, no matter in which direction its distressed might turn. In the case of Belgium the sweep of war was swift and final, while with the Polanders it bas been, and still is, a matter of being swept in_one direction and then the other. The area and population af- fected in Poland is also more than ten times that of Belgium, considering both the kingdom of Poland in Russia, and Galicia, Austrian Poland, equally de- vastated by the war. While at least three large com- mittees are at work in the relief of the conditions in Poland, they have, un. like the Belgian committees, been handicapped by the fact that the war has been waged actively there ever since the European conflict began, and that it is even more fierce today. In attempting a summary of the sit- uation, The Associated Press has been given access to some of the reports made by the Central Citizens' Com- mittee in Warsaw, the Committee for the relief of the kingdom of Poland, ang the General Relief Committee for Poland in Geneva, Switzerland, and a maes of private correspondence, cov- ering mainly the period between the first of January and the fifteenth of April. It appears from these that out of the eleven provinces or governments of the kingdom of Poland, only one, the province of Siedice, has accepted in- vasion. The devastated territory of the kingdom amounts to more than forty thousand square miles, in which two hundred cities and_towns and nine thousand villages havé been partially or entirely destroyed. Five thousand his birthday instead of conducting a Tough house. With more imports and less reve- nue under the democratic tariff about all that was claimed is secured there- from except prosperity and a lowered cost of living. It doesn't make much difference ‘Whether the girls adopted it or had it forced upon them if the wearing of furs during the summer is the style it must be obeyed. The only way in which the Mexi- cans can show that they are sincer: in talking about getting together on & platform of peace is by puruing the idea to a conclusion. The Stanford crew attributes no help to the fact that it has to train in a mudhole, but the Yale crew is of- fering no excuses because of its epi- demic of ptomaine poisoning. The inclination on the part of the Mexican factions to get together and talk peace shows that the American villages have becn razed to the ground. Railroad tracks for e distance of one thousand miles have been torn up. Even the plain soil rendered unfit for agricultural purposes by innumerable trenches and big holes bored into it by the projectiles of beavy artillery. The agricultural production of this part of Poland, representing e value of $500,- 000,000 per annum, has been stopped in its entirety for lack of funds, seeds, farmhands and cattle. An agricultural population of seven million people are starving. They hide themselves in forests or under the ruins of their former dwellings having as food only roots, bark, rind and decay- ing carcasees of horses killed on the battleflelds. ‘The fate of citles and regions is no better. Some of them suffered depopulation, some were flooded by a tremendous wave of ref- ugees. who had deserted the fighting zone. Eighty per cent. of this class of refugees are Jews. The city of Kalisz, capital of the province of the eame name. which efors the war had a populetion of nearly 80,000, numbers now 10,000 in- habitants.

Important industrial cen- ters like Chenstohova, Sosnoviec and the coal-basin of Dombrova, have shared the same fate. The industrial output of the kingdom of Poland, val- ued at $400,000,000 per annum, has been annihilated. Three millions. of people earning their dally bread in factories and mines, are starving. The coal mines, though not in the fighting zone, have been flooded by the Germans for strategical reasons and all the costly machinery destroyed. The kingdom that used all of its output of 30,000 carloads receives now less than 100 50,000 miners in Dombrova and the ad- joining mines have lost their work “for Strategical reasons.” All commerce of the kingdom with the Russian Empire has been practically stopped as well on account of a lack of transportation facilities as because of the interrupted international relations. These com- mercial transactions between the Kingdom and the Empire amounted for the year preceding the war to one bilion roubles or $500,000,000. The same conditions prevail in the banking business. The transactions of the big corporations, of Mutual Credit Associations” and of Savings Banks have been limited to the paying out of deposits. The notes portefeuil of local banks, representing a neminal value of many hundreds of millions roubles, bear no interest whatever, having, temporarily at least the mere value of millions of “scraps of paper.” The toal of material losses in mov- able and immovable properties is val- ued at $700,000,000. On all sides there is hunger, disease and ruin. Out of a total of 1,500,000 horses in this part of Poland 800,000 have been requisitioned by both fight- ing armies. Not less than 2,000,000 cattle have been confiscated for the same purpose. Milk is rare and th mortality among infants shows a ter- rific increase. Sanitarv conditions are worse than deplorable. - Insufficient nourishment, a fatal congestion of population in certain cities reputed to be safe from immediate war dangers— (in some temporary asylums in War- saw sixty people sleep in rooms of 40x30)—and a lack of medical help aggravate daily the evil conditions. In the country they are still worse, the proximity of shallow graves infecting the air and the water of wells with poisonous germs. Especially in the provinces of Lublin and Suvalki the |graves of fallen soldiers have very frequently been dug in the immediate neighborhood of human dwellings. The conditions in Galicia (Austrian Poland) may be still worse. Embracing 82 counties, Galicia has an area of 32,000 square miles and a population of over 000,000 All of her territory, excepted Cracow and its im- mediate * vicinity, has suffered. The country extending fro mthe Russian frontier, from Podvolocziska up West to Bochnia, for a distance of 40 miles has been destroyed by fire and cannon. The wave came from the East, was Te- pulsed and returned again. Many places were subjected to these in- vasions as many as seven times. A hundred cities and towns and 6,000 vil- lages suffered cruelly; 2,500 villages have virtually disappeared from sight. Eight hundred thousand horses and 1,500.000 cattle have been taken away by the armies, as well as almost all provisions like corn, potatoes and fod- er. ‘The total agricultural production of Galicia valued at $200,000,000 yearly apd the industrial output of some $100,000,000 per annum have been destroyed. The loss will be greatly in- creased if the reports that the with- drawing Russian army has set fire to the Carpathian oil wells prove true. Citles like Tarmopol, Tarnow, Brody, Nisko, Stryj, Kolomea, Stanislavov and Przemysl are but heaps of ruins. Gloomy looking smokestacks rising out of piles of bricks are the only wit- nesses of the fact that human beings had once resided there. Cracow, the ancient capital of the Polish_kings (200,000 inhabitants) and an architectural jewel among the cities of mediaeval Europe, was not immedi- ately touched by the war, but its in- habitants were ordered to leave and had to fly to Austrian Silesia, Vienna or Bohemia.

A German agent in Rotterdam states Germany's case as follows “Military science develops so rapid- ly in times of actual war that the weapon of today soon is discarded and something better taken up. The greatest asset Germany possesses is her ability to see and make today the weapon of tomorrow. “With the enemy, the rifie is a sort of fetish. The English are highly elated because the war has shown that their men can shoot straighter and quicker than the Germans. There is little cause for trlumph, A large part of the time spent in training their troops is spent in teaching them the construction and use of the rifle, while our men are being taught how, to handle and serve the machine gun. “The present war will see the end of many things as it has seen the birth of many things, and although the rifie may not disappear before peace is signed, its doom as the prin- cipal arm of infantry is sounded. “Where is there any sound argu- ment against the gradual substitution of the light machine gun for the rifie? After all, a Maxim is merely an im- proved automatic rifie with a water jacket. A man who could fire a kick- ing gun of the period of 1815 could fire and carry a Mexim with less effort. Are we not told that in the old days the concentrated fire on one side of an English_square emptied less than a score of French saddles at effective range? One modern machine-gun would have wiped out the whole squadron. “In modern warfare and particularly in trench warfare, the soldier who can fire a hundred shots to his opponent’s five has ninety-five chances of coming out unscathed. The German soldier prefers the machine-gun to the rifie; it _enables him to sit down comfort- ably and squirt death at the foe as water is squirted through a hose, and it gives him that sense of superiority and security which the possession of a superior weapon always brings to the fighting man.” | OTHER VIEW POINTS The “How to Cross a Street” cam- paign in New York is a timely re- minder that in the event of accident the pedestrian is too often guilty of contributory negligence—New Haven Union. s Co-operative marketing is an im- portant feature of the work in which the farm bureau can be of great as- sistance to both farmer and consumer.
