THE TARIFF ISSUE IMPORTANT. ‘While the many issues of the cam- paign are undér consideration, it is not possible to overlook the import- ance of the tariff. This may be an old story but it is nevertheless a vital one when the existing conditions in country and abroad are consid- ered, and it is realized that this na- tion must do its utmost for industrial preparedness in anticipation of the time when the war is flnished and the competition of the foreign manu- facturers is encountered. Myron T. Herrick, former amba: lor to France, does not exaggerate the situation a bit when he saj the tariff is one of the greatest iss of the campaign and this is supported by his further statement when he de- clares that “In all the manufacturing states employers and employes are ask- inz the same question: What will hap- pen to us if the war ends before the Underwood bill is revised?

N is much stirred up ion and it has reason to be for with the trouble between the o producers and the milk distri- the of this article of d is seriously affected. The trouble Betw: the people who have so much to do with getting the milk from the farm to the consumer is over the amount which the farmer considers he should get for his'product, his con- on being he is not getting of t the con- pays for the milk. On other hand the distributors main- 1 that | thei profit is small and tk afford to pay more to the farmer without rais- ing the price to the consumer, and owing to the health regulations it is dmpossible . for the producers to do their own distributing in the big city since it is required that all milk must © pasteurized, and the plants for do- ing such work on a sufficient scale to meet the needs of the city are owned by the distributors. Those in the ands of the Dairymen’s league, the organization of farmers, are sufficient to supply only a small part of the de- mands for milk. In the meantime the public is foreed to get along with a greatly reduced milk supply. It must take what it can get ahd be satisfied until those involved in the dispute come to.some understanding. Such is a gross in- Jjustice to_the innocent party 4nd the effect which the fight is having upon them 1s sufficient reason for arbitrat- ing the differences betwecen the pro- ducers and distributors. Let each side produce its facts and abide by the decision of an impartial board. GERMANY AND ITS SUBMARINES It is to be hoped that it is a fact, as claimed,y one authority, that the party in Gelmany which is clamoring for a resumption of the submarine warfare similar to, if not worse than, that which was conducted under von Tirpitz direction, is rapidly waning. That party ds fayorable not gnly to the pnmu”a:‘. that ‘were formerly car- ried out but it is anxious that the submarine attacks should be directed against neutral shipping as well as that of the belligerent countries. Germany has suffered enough from the disrespect which it showed to the laws of nations in regard to the at- tacks which were made upon mer- chant ships without warning and without resard to the ‘safety of the Iltves of those aboard. It has prom- ised to refrain from such activity in the future and it is to be hoped that whatever influence is at work in be- half of the Tesumption of such ruth- less disregard for the rights of others represents the sentiment of only a neslizible part of the people of that country. While it may be claimed by the British that the Germans are using their maximum submarine strensth at the present time in their attacks upon shipping and that they could do little ore if they should let nothing stand the way of Germany winning the and go the limit with their un- derwater boats, the horror of such a ghought is enough to call for the exer- cise of better judgment. Germany has irritated the neutrals enough already withou¢ going any further and break- ing more_ pledges, ARMENIA NEEDS HELP. From the. stories which are coming trom Turkey about the condition of the people in Syria and Armenia it i apparent that the world does not know half the facts relating to those di: tressed people and it is perhaps well that it does not but it is certain that it knows enough to have its heart and purse strings touched by the frightful conditions which exist there today. xtensive have been the sympathy and the contributions which have been made by the people of this country for the relief of the sufferers In the war stricken nations of Eyrope. There has en,_a steady flow of money, dnd the necessities of . life these shores to Turope. There 0 been given tié services of who have ministered to - the of the sick, the aged and the orphans, which work has even result- the sacrifice of their health and ives hysa number of such helpers, but there still remains much to be done, and the stories which are told about conditions in Armenia make it evident that there is no greater field for op- erations thaneright there. . The effort which 1s being made for the purpose of obtaining further relief for 'the = oppressed human beings of that section, which relief will. be distributed through the American Red Cross and the Turkish Red Crescent, is a most worthy one. The appeals should meet with a generéus response and there are reasons for believing, in view of past experiences, that they will. SR e STEALING AUTOMOBILES In many of the large cities the au- thoritles are given constant trouble by the large number of automobile thieves. Somebody’s car is reported as stolen daily and the number ig in- creasing at an alarming rate. There are those who have a mania for run- ning off with a good looking car and there is the added incentive that they can dispose of such at good profit, so at the business - of stealing cars which are”allowed'’to 'Stand ‘in’‘the street is attractive for those who havé no respect for another’s property. And the trouble is not confined to the big citles either, for the smaller ones are not immune, and so determined are the thieves that they even call doc- tors by telephone on the plea of at- tending patients and then hustle aw: with the car as soon as the physici steps out of it and enters a bulldi The practice is being resorted to so extensively, and the recoveries are so few, that it is being Tecognized that it is time to insist that auto owner: ke steps to protect their propert against just such loss: Many own- ers have found it advisable to lock onto their cars the extra tires whi v carry at the side or the rear, and in Philadelphia it is being urged that lezislation be passed which would make it a misdemeanor to leave mo- tor cars on the highway unless they gre eduipped with an effective safety locking device, Whether this fs the best solution of the trouble remains to be seen but it is apparent that such action by auto owners would prevent the theft of many machines which now stand ready for anyone to step into and drive away.

If the price of esgs continues to go up, the Iote Lady Eglantine is doomed to lose her reputation as the highest p‘icsd hen in the world. Manager McGraw has relieved his mind regarding his players. Row it would be interesting to know what the players think of their manager. In the opinion of the Boston Tran- seript Richard Olney has been get- ting credit for a lot of backbone that really belonged to Grover Cleveland. That Brooklyn chauffeur who was sentenced to prison for three years for taking an auto from a garage without the owner's permission, even though he returned it, will have more respect for another’s property li the future. While some doubt is being expressed about that discovery of a large .pot- ash deposit in Cubda, it is to be hoped that the reported find of a de- posit in Utah which will supply the country for a hundred years is not all talk. The perils of highway traffic are in- creased by the automobile driver who refuses to remain on the right side of the road when he happens fo be behind a horse drawn vehicle, but in- sists upon dodging out in front of the fellow coming in the opposite direc- tion and taking a chance of a collis: jon, just to save a few seconds s It was one of those crises which oc- cur in the best managed families be: tween mother and son, and Ross found himself in bed two hours before the usual time. » “It has been a hot, tiring day,” said his mother as she moved about in straightening the room. “Youll feel better in the morning and not so cross.” She came over to the bed to kiss her recalcitrant son good- night. Ross lay glowering. “I've been thinking,” he annnunc_ed suddenly. “We don't seem to be h“.- ting it off very well lately. We don’t seem t6 agree at all.

Maybe she’d be sorry when he was hauled up in courts for being sent in through windows by a burglar and condemned to jail for life! Fer awful, gnawing remorse would serve her right! Also starvation and germs. Things off cheap fruit stands were full of germs and that's all he would be able to afford to eat. Maybe he could run errands for a bakery and get stale bread to eat—unléss he got sunstroke doing the errands. He'd have to sleep down on the lake front, too. Some tra@p might kidnap him.

The tariff issue is coming more and more to the front in the presidential mpaign. The Herald has contributed share to bringing forward the im- rative meeds of the country for a re- sion which will not leave the coun- dependent on the present tariff hedules. Ail references to the tariff made by editors or speakers now find cager readers. The situation is so plain. The Underw@pd tariff during ten months of fair trial proved suffi- ciently low to cause much business de- pression in this country and great manufacturing revival abroad. The war intervened, and under the stimu- lus of wholly unprecedented demands from Furope for American products, coupled with the practical wiping out of European competition in the Am- erican market, prosperity in the Unit- ed States swelled like a balloon. The democratic party is contenting itself with saying that the country is prosperous, and that in case anything should be found wrong with the Un- derwood tariff it has a tariff commis- sion and a_trade commission to make changes. But it defends the Under- Jood schedules as.very nearly per- ect. The republican party, leadership of Mr. Hughes, Is taking more aggressive ground.

STORIES OF THE WAR | General Neville’s Headquarters. The headquarters of General Neville, in command of the operation at Ver- dun, are quite a way outside the city, at a little cross-road hamlet, which cannot be named for military reasons. The general's offices are in the town a two-story stone struc- It was in this same building General Petain, who preceded lle, and feneral de Castelhan, quickly made the plans on the first onrush of the Germans which held them until reinforcements could be brought up. Genceral Neviile goes to Verdun and along the trench front frequently. But most of his time is at headquarters, in telegraph and _telephone with the whole circle of defenses, and in touch, too, with other army corps and ma es of supplies ready to be moved for- ward to fill afty gap the Germans may make. sitor in telling of his experience avs: “As we were at General Neville's eadquarter: of Ge: n marched tv uniform and round cap contra 2 with the French blue and casque.

On seeking pthe mules, one of the officers said: “The demcbilization of the Greek army had one very important result for the Alljes—-it released 10,000 mules which the Greeks had been using, and now these mules are proving invalu- able to the Allies.” Wtile the fields back of Verdun are rich with yellow grain, yet there is one melancholy evidence of the war in the burning of manure, usually the very life-blood of the sofl. The grain can be gathered by the soldiers and the women who remain, but there is no time to distribute the manure over the land, and so it is burred. The last glimpse of Verdun came as the party passed a detachment of French soldiers, just out of the trench- es and golng to the rear for rest. They were tired and heavily laden, but happly and cheerful as they swung along in {rregular ranks, laughing and smoking as though they came from some agreeable occupation. They were all fine-looking young fellows, and they typified that calm and invincible spirit which the young French sol- diers are putting into their service. , and n eme highr sees a the bi sign In the Trenches Near Verdun. Just west of Verdun. in the forest of Argonne, there is a remarkable mil- itary tunnel 45 feet underground, run- ning right up to within 300 yards of the German trenches. It is one of the most bard-pressed points around Ver- dun, but through this tunnel rein- forcements move forward without nger, relieviag every two hours the men on the firing line. There was a very American atmos- phere about this tunnél when The As- sociated Press correspondent visited it for the curious fact developed that the two officers in command were Ameri- can resident, 1 a stock-raiser in Alber- ta, Canada, and the otheg a bank offic- ial of the Franco-American Bank at Los Angeles, Cal. Both were born in France and when the war broke out left their American business to come home and fizht. And now they are in full charge of this underground high- way, leading up to one of the most desperate positions along the front. They are so American that they speak English instcad of French, .and _the Commandant’s headquarters—a y—has a big plcture of cle Sam hanging on the wall.
