Almost from the start of the pres- ent war this country has had it plain- iy pointed out.that it is none too well prepared to handle and punish those who make a determined stana to wio- late the neutrality of this country. There has been a steady disclosure of the unfortunate position in which this country has been placed. It has found itself in many /instances in a humiliating predicament because of the lack of laws, so that when Attor- ney Gemeral Gregory proposes that there be 18 amendments made to ex- isting federal laws for the purpose of covering the weak points whick have been disclosed it ought not to require much more than a second. sober thought to realize that the action re- quested is only such as ought to be taken. None is in & better position to oppre- clate the helplessness of this country urder such circumstances than the at- torney general. He has been obliged to deal with these matters for months and to aéarch iu vain for laws under which these who have deliberately taken ad- vantage of this country’s position could be properly punished. He has been shown the Tandicaps which exist and his purpose is to prevent them in the future and for the inter- ests of the country some action should be. taken. It is {ime to have it realized that the affairs of this nation are to be directed in this country and not by some other nation. It is. time to show that belligerent nations cannot inter- fere with our industrial activities, and particularly when they are being eon- ducted under the provisions of imter- national law. It is proper that there should be laws which will place a heavy penalty upon the threatening of exporters. It is surprising that con- gress has not taken steps to provid this legislation before this, but the nco'mmcnd_-ucm of the attorney gen. eral as now made.should nevertheless et respectful and- weighty considera~ tion mow.

Between the British and German modern machine warfare wherein, ev- C©ry man was supposed to have become a pawn without initiative of his own ces his cunning, his strength end his ekill in hand-to-hand fighting against tiose of his adversary. dly a day passes that there is mot a trench “raid” by one side or the other, and sometimes several such sallies. No subject is more tabooed in its detalls by the censor. Command- ers do not want to et the ememx know why their raids succeed or fail or why the ememy’s succeed or fail. Invention fights invention; secrecy fights secrecy. All the elements of boxirig, wrest- ling, fenc cing and mob tactics plus the stealth of the Indian who crept up on a camp on the plains and the team- work of a professional baseball nine are valuable to the player. The weapon that is least needed is a rifie. A club or a sandbag or a1 In- dian battle ave or spiked club is better. A good slugger without any weapon at all may take an adversary's loaded rific away from him and knock him down and then kick him to death. The monotony of trench existence these days is broken by preparing for raids and against them. Battalion commanders work out schemes of strategy which would have won them fame in smaller wars. Fifty men or a thousand may be engaged in a raid. It may be on a front of fifty yards or a tousand. Its object is to take s many prisoniers and kill and wound as many of the enemy as possible in a few minutes; and then to get back to their own trench. The assaulters to hold on to the piece of trench they have taken, the guns are turned on them, the bombers close up on either 1| side, and machine guns and rifies are prepared to sweep the zome of retire- ment. An uncanny curlosity gives the sol- diers incentlve for the raids. Ordin- arily they never see their enemy bid- den in his burrows across “No Man's Land” from their own burrows. Un- seen bullets from unseen snipers crack overhead. Unseen guns suddenly con- centrate in a deluge of shells. For mcnths this sort of thing goes on and the trenches of the adversaries Te- part | main always in the spme place, the u.lrfl.el and grim monotony of _casi continues. This arouses the to “get at” the enemy whidh the trench raid satisfles.

What War Has Cost. Wars cost Europe from the begin- ning of the ninsfeenth century wp to August, 1914, about 65 billion francs, or mot half of what the belligerent powers have already expended during the present conflict, according to sta- tistics compiled by Edmond Thery, the French economist, and published in an article written to indicate the pro- gression of the cost of war. T waged by Napoleon increased the public debt of France by 588,000,000 francs, while the Crimean war alone cost the Republic 1,660,000,000, according to Thery. Great Britain ‘spent 1,560,000,000 million in the Crimean, while that war cost Aus- tria. 343,000,000 and Turkey and Sar- ‘together 642,000,000 3 France spent 650,000,000 francs on the Mexican war, he says, and 853,000,000 in the conflict against Austria for the Iliberation of Italy.

British Equipment at Front. A correspondent who has been ab- sent for six months from the British front is amazed upon his return at the increase in numbers of men, guns and equipment. The numerous bat- talions of the new army which have arrived have engulfed the old regular army. Not one officer in ten that are met have had any military service be- fore the war. ; It now requires a ride of a hundred miles to compass the British front. Khaki is thick in the villages of the Somme country as well as in_those of Northern Belgium. The British hold the famous “Labyrinth” as well as Ypres and Loos. In the course of the taking over of a long section of the French line which freed French troops for service hundreds of miles of wire had to be laid, transport organ- ized, headquarters moved, new corps and’divisions created and ders appointed. In the last few months new men have come into positions of 1Y | responsibility. Men who entered the army as second lieutenamts have be- come captains without vet being old enough to vote. Majors have become colonels and generals. “We do not know when the war will be over but we do know .that spring is here,” say the soldiers. The second winter in the trenches is finished.
