Indications point to his having been on the left hand side of the road, but with the electric car track on the other, he was to all ap- pearances in a position which should have insured him perfect safety and from the time that the accident oc- curred it could not have been so dark that he was not visible to a careful @river. Perhaps one of the worst features of the case is the manner in which he was abandoned by the side of the road to die, after .being struck. It seems impossible for any vehicle to have struck a person such a blow as he must have recefved and not have known it, allowing for the slight pos- sibility that the man was not seen. It is = most unfortunate fact that no clue is possessed by the authorities as to whom was responsible for his death. To have deliberately run away from such a scene indicates an act of cowardice which in itself indicates a serious disregard for humanity and furnishes ground for the belief that the responsibility rested with the driver of the vehicle. * It is only one of many instances ‘where an improper regard for others on highways have been exhibited and ‘unless it can be proved that it was an unavoidable accident, the guilty per- son should recelve due punishment. MUNITIONS AND THE LOAN. In the preliminary considerations surrounding the loan of a billion or less to Fngland and France for the purpose of establishing credit in this country, there appear to be strong indications that there will be a gen- eral participation in the loan by the leading bankers of the country regard- less of what their sympathy in the war may be. This is because they rec- ognize that it is as important to this country as #t is to those seeking the loan that the arrangement contem- plated shonld be made. It vitally con- cerns the agricultural, manufacturing and mining interests ‘of the United States. The important point over which there is any. possibility of a hitch is that which concerns munitions of war. The foreign finance commission desires that the loan should be used for the payment of such orders as it may place in this country for munitions, but bankers who are pro-German and who hold an influential place in the financial market are opposed to it and their participation may depend upon the exclusioh of such a provision. This question is likely to be adjusted, how- ever, to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. It is impossible of course to lose sight of the fact that this country has declared the manufacture and sale of munitions of war in this country for any of the belligerents is perfectly proper, but from this loan only the al- lies could benefit and when it comes to the German sympathizers using their money to help out the manufacture of munitions to be used against their friends it is readily understood that they have the right to balk and de- mand that if they participate muni- tions must be paid for in another way. AIRSHIP RAIDS. Nothing has stood out more glar- Ingly to the discredit of the German airship raids than the large loss of life of non-combatants, largely womepn and children, that has resulted. There has been no military advantage gained through such operations and in only ne or two’ instances have they num- bered soldlers among the slain. In an sffort to justify the air attacks and to eontrevert the clatmiof Lord Bal- four of the British admiralty that London is not'a fortified city, an offi- sial Berlin statement asserts that Lon- lon is fortified by a great number of permanent fortifications, which tbnfimmpummuu.. them, but be forgotten that with German; aggressor in this kind of warfare it has no reason to expect represen lowing consideration of the < situation, that the time has come the extension of formal rec a government in Mexico, there good reasons for Carranza Yo belfeve that he will be the oneto get that recognition. Having wisely determined that there shall be no intervention by force of arms on the part of the Americans, and being umnable to get the factional leaders together for.a conference which might assist or actu- ally result in the establishment of peace it is apparent that if anything is golng to be dome to ‘help Mexico it must ‘through a recognition of one ‘which has beeri sel up. Carranza may tale the credit for forciig this decision through his res fusal to join with the other factional leaders for a peace conference, and he has ground for believing that he |Ing in=trer 1 the . provisional governments | njege, ter, carry- arms a tiny white dog with will be the choice of the governments | ¥ouy_ for recognition because of the strength and control that he possesses, but it is nevertheless a fact that he must show that he has the “material and moral capacity necessary to protect the lives and property of nationals and foreign- ers.” This means that he must show that he is stronger and better equip- ped than Villa to carry out these re- quirements, a fact which ought not to be difficult under. the existing clreum- stances. This country has only the ‘best interests of Mexico at heart, bu 1t does not intend to lend its influence in support of a new 'government there until it is satisfied that it is deserv- ing. CHANGING STEAMSHIP ROUTES. As an explanation of a slight delay experienced by the Baltic in reaching this country, it is claimed that it was part of a_plan for the avoldance of any German submarines which might be waiting for it had it taken fits regular course, Instead of following its usual route and going to the south of Ireland it is sald that after it had started on such a course and gotten as far as Queenstown it turned and went to the north of Ireland. This daid not take it through waters which cannot be reached by the underwater boats, for they can operata there as easily as in St George's channel, but it meant a change from tie beaten track and by keeping the information away from the submarines as to the locality where they can be expected, it fur- nishes added protection, although it may result in time in the employment of_a greater number of submersibles for the watching of such maneuvers. As far as the safety of the lves of passengers and crew are concerned, or where neutral vessels which are not engaged in carrying contraband are involved, there should be no need of any such efforts to get past the vig- | Lotr ilant German submarines, but the pol- icy whichithey have carried out‘in the past and the protection of vessels which are the legitimate prey of en- emy ships:make it edvisable and it is surprising that it had not been adopt- ed before. It certainly forces the sub- marines to guess at the locality of ships instead of having the assist- ance of a regular schedule. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The fall of Warsaw and the failure of the Russian defensive campaign to prevent the German invasion of Po- land have had a much more profound effect upon Russlan natiopal feeling than is admitted in despatches from ograd, says a Stockholm despatch. The feeling which has shaken the con- stitutionally stolid and unemational country from one end to the other is not one of discouragement or submis- sion. It has not moved any one to talk of ultimate defeat or the possi- bility of Russia’s undertaking peace negotiations with' Germany. Russia’s reaction is one of intense indignation at the government officlals who have been fresponsible for her tragic short- age of ammunition. ‘The full tragedy of this shortage has been observed only by the men at the front who, with empty gun cai: sons, have helplessly faced the co; centrated artillery attacks of the ene- my and have watched the assured progress of, the German and Austrian trench builders under their very po- sitions without the possibility of stopping them.. These soldiers were determined, experienced fighters, Rus- sia’s best troops, acquitting them- selves in unusual bravery In every bayonet action, but crippled and final- ly demoralized by insufficient ammu- nition and the knowledge that it was is lack of ammunition that ordered eir continued retreat from one posi- tion to another. ‘The most rigidly censored press in the worid and a national and inherent inhibition of free comment has failed to check the avalanche of criticism and the accusations which have been made against the government officials expressed lutionary inclination§ or opposition tendencies, nor is it uttered in hushed voices or secret places, but is loudly and ly currént everywhefe among men of all parties and classes.

This revalution will come as soon as the war is over." In this protest, which is being ®0 bitterly expressed in Russia, there is not an atom of disloyalty. It is, in fact, a very high expression of a loy- alty which is resentful that the pur- pose of the nation is being frustrated and the chances of victory weakened by some of its own officials. A com- view is that the evil is account- ed for by the residue of German influ- ence which still exists in the various departments of the government. It was a spirit of revolt against this per- sistent German element in Russia thad caused the terrible Moscow riots of two months ago. Wher the order ex- pelling all Germans from the city was not enforced by the city authoritles, the mob decided to take the matter in its own hands and expel them forci- bly by destroying their homes, busi- ness and property. Evidence of the same spirit of pro- test has appeared in a milder form in Petrograd, where numerous imeetings denouncing corruption of government officials were broken up by the police.
