The law if passed would affect some sections and some states much more than others, but it is a change which would meet the approval of the auto- ists. The fact that certain states have recognized the advisability of drafting their own laws to meet such a demand is reason enough why others should 1o likewise and a federal law gowern- of in the Connec- require ing such interstate traffic would mirably cover the situation. THE LUSITANIA CASE. It is an entertaining statement which comes from Germany at this time to the effect that the Lusitania case was about to be settled with F lin agreeing to make full reparation to the satisfaction of this country, but it has now all been knocked in the head by the demand for the recall of Captains Boy-Ed and von Papen. Ger- man sentiment it appears had shown a decided pro-American leaning, it is learned, as the result of the note which this country sent to Great Bri- tain over the wav jn which that coun- try was interfering with the commerce of neutral nations. It apparently con- vinced Gern 1y that this country was not plaving favorites and that it was prepared to back up its rights which- ever one of the belligerents was -dis- posed to tr 1 upon them. has all heen discounted by that German repr proved themselves this country It must be a inz which thinks this naving its one of the other.

FORD'S PEACE PARTY. Though he may still be determined i his purpose Herry Ford must by this time have a different view of the task which he has undertaken to bring about peace in Europe. Not only has there been trouble among the members of his party, which indicates a lack of harmony in a bad location, but he has failed to receive any encourage- ment whatever among the neutral na- tions where he is making his appeal. The idea now of holding a peace con- ference at The Iazue with represen- tatives in attendance from a half dozen other countries which are not engaged in the war can unquestionably be carried out, but there promies to be no advantage gained from such action. It is perfectly evident that however much peace is needed among the na- tions at war the time is not ripe for it. The countries are fighting for what they believe a righteous cause, re- zardless of the side on which they are aligned and there must be something more decisive in the way of victory before they will be willing to listen to suggestions of peace. The manner 1 which such talk among the nations - involved has completely dled out is pretty conclusive evidence that Ford is conducting another forlorn hope party, while the preparations which are being made for much more exten- sive operations indicate that there will be much more blood shed before there is less. Mr. Ford ought to have been im- pressed with the opposition to his scheme among his own countrymen, not because they didn’t favor peace, but because the time was not consid- ered opportune. The Ford plan was poorly and weakly conceived and the prosress which he is making only goes to substantiate it every day. UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE BLUNDER. It was only a few days ago that it was urged in congress that an effort should be made to increase the rev- enue of the country through its cus- tom house receipts. There is no deny- ing the fact that the country needs more money to carry on the govern- ment’s bu , but the fact ought not to be overlooked that the existing state of affairs with a_depleted balance in the treasury is due to the fact that the nation’s revenue has been serious- After the sister from out of town. “Mame,” she said, shopping together early.

The only place where the Ford peace party can anticipate a unanimous and enthusiastic reception will be on No Man's Land. Any visitors are always welcomed there. It makes little difference whether Young America wants military toys, a drum or a five cent whistle at Christ- mas, it is evidence that many a house- hold is going to have a hard strug® gle for peace. An enthusiastic supporter of Col. Rooxevelt declares that he would never think of being a presidential candi- date again. Past experience shows that a bag of salt should go with that statement.
