The announcement has gone forth from Washington to the cffect that there will be no change in the foreign wolicles of the president durlng his second term in office. He apparently looks upon his reelection as an en- dorsement of those which he has put into effect and for that reason feels Justified in their retention. That belng the case in regard to his foreign policies it will be Lgsting tosee what gtand he takes in &ard_to domestic policies. During @ campaign both the president and {Mr. Hughes were asked by the tional Civic Service Reform tion as to thelr attitude question of including the postmasters ©f the first, second and third class of- fices under ctvil service. Mr. Hughes wvas the first to renly a that he favored it.

Conditions in that republic have con- tinued to demonstrate that he dld not posses the control in hisown country which he clalmed to have had when he was recognized. Either he under- cstimated or misrepresented his strength at that time, but whatever that was he has not succeeded in changing the situation in his favor. Rather has it gone the other way un- 1l today he is being actively opposed by three ieaders Instead of one. There was a time soon after the punitive expedition was sent across the line when Carranza by showing the proper cooperation conld have put an end to Villa. He fafled to take ad- vantage of it and even threw obstacles in the way, with the result that Villa has steadily been growing stronger, the punitive expedition has ceased its ef- forts to get him and is now acting as a guard against further depredations by the bandit gangs along the border. In the meantime Zapata is on the rampage again and is carrying out a policy of pillaze and massacre as bad as. If not worse than, Villa, and Felix Diaz appears to be getting a strong backing in opposition to Carranza. Mexico therefore upder Carranza has done nothing to encourage the with- drawal of the troops. He has glven added strength to the bandits by his policies, regardless of his promises, his strensth is waning instead of srowing. . THE WHITE SLAVE LAW. After a long wait and the develop- ment of 2 number of other cases, to- sether with a large amount of black- ng which was encouraged by the legislation. the Mann white slave law has at last reached the United States supreme court, through the appeal of the famous Diegs-Caminetti case in California. This case was brought and conviction obtained in the fede court under the Mann act. Tt was bne of the first, if not the first, to be brought under that federal law for the blocking ' of commercialized vice be- tween states. since when other fed- eral courts have taken the same view and others have held that the law was not infended to cover suci escapades as that involved in the fa case where the women were not s'aves and were nct bought and sold. Because of the opportunity which has been disclosed to those who are al- ways seeking get rich quick schemes. regardless of what Is favolsed, many have taken advantage of the chance to inveigle people of money into com- promising positions and then force It is not to be supposed that he se- cured his reelection on the strength of the (hs position which he took on maner but that must be looked inevertheless as one of the campaign {promises regarding which he ought to 'be held to strict accountability, but | he plans to continue his forelgn lpolicles because he thinks they have 'been endcrsed it is entirely possible for him to look upon his it con- duct relative to civil service as being ‘approved and therefore calling for no ichange. For that reason it will be dnteresting to note what attitude he takes upon this important question, CAR SHORTAGE. That the situation has gotten back to where it was some months ago, when it was impossible to get suffi- clent cars to handle the transporta- ton demands because so many of them Wwere tled up in freight yards or held on sldings by manufacturers who were using them for storage purposes fnstead of hasteninz to unload them, Is indicated by the proposal that the ear shortage problem be solved by revising the schedule of, demurrage rates This has already been tried on one or more occasions and it has borne ®ood frult, so that it is entirely pos- sible that resort will have to be made %o it again, especially when It s clafmed that there are many specu- 2ators in coal who having no place to store it are holding it in cars until they are ready to dispose of it. Such = situation Is grossly unfair to trans- portation lines, to those who are being denied transportation facilities and to the consumer who is being forced to foot the bill for all this stagnation. Increased demurrage might seem to be & money making plan of the rail- roads but when it is considered how ey ere being hampered by the in- &1 ity to secure the use of the rolling , 4t can be appreciated that they would much prefer the use of the pars to the demurrage. The car short- is as detrimental to them by the of business as it s to others and stiffer demurrage Tates would force unloading quicker, they would ap- to. be entirely justified. The roblem, however, deserves to be ilved whether that is the most ad- le method of doing it or not, :a the sooner it can be done the bet- ' PROBLEMS FOR RUSSIA. | Now that the Russian duma has res, its session after.a. four months" . it _can be expected that a T of important questions will be for consideration and they are of vital' importance that it must of be welghty. e question of £00d ‘supply will un- y take precedence owing to fact that the transportation fa- have not been such as to over- the prevailing conditions, of the handicap which is en- by the closing of the Arctic them, regardless of the fact that there had been no violation of the act a: it was intended and no commisslon of the crime which it was desired to stop, to hand over a large sum to avoid a threatened prosecution under that law.

EDITORIAL NOTES. It doesn’t appear to be a good Hughes year. Charles E. has lost out in this country and Sam in Canada. For some reason or other nothing is being said at the present time as to just what army the erown prince is now leading.

Five years later, by the famous victory of Admiral Cog- rington, in corrmand cf a united Brit- ish, Frenck and Russian fleet, over the Turkish fleet at Navarino, Nau- plia was relieved at a critical moment in a stege. “The tragic death of the first presi- dent, Capo oTstria, by gunshot and dager, at the portal cf the Church of St. Spiridion, on October 9th, 1831, has been mentioned previously. With the removal of the seat of government to Athers the year following the crowning of King Otho in 1833, end the success of the military plot hatch- ed here against this monarch 29 years later, Nauplia once again disappeared as a date line for historic events until a few days ago when the king’s party made an armed demcnstration against former Premler Venizelos' adherents. “Nauplia is often visited by tou ists not only for its own sake hut because it affords an excellent start- ing point for excursion to the ruins of Mycenae, -which legend tells us was founded by Perseus; whose walls were built by "lhe Lyclan Cyclopes, and which was the hom= of Agamemnon, famous leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War. From Nauplia also it is only a short drive to Tiryns, reported to be the birthplace of Hercules, son of Zeus and Alomene. Heraeon, the place at which the leaders of the Greeks swore thelr allegiance to Agamemvon, and where Klecbis and Biton lay down to their eternal sleep after having taken the places of tardy horses to draw the chariot of their priestess mother, is equally accessi- ble. Only a short distance from here, too, is the famous Herion of Fpidau- ros, celebrated as the seat of the cult of Aesculapius, the god of healing, who mythology says was born to Kor- onis and Apollo on a nearby mountain, To the temple of Herion was attach- ed a great hospltal in which the priests were physicians and which was supoorted by the lavish gifts of patients who had been cured.

President Wilson needs all the confi- dence he has acquired during his term in office and all that he can acquire in order to enjoy the support he must have during the years immediately ahead of him. If conditions remain as they are, he will have four more vears of perplexity to contend with. If they change, as we may well cxpect they will, he will have new and prob- ably even more perplexing problems to deal with. The country will be very much cheered, its confidence will be enormously reinforced, if he surrounds himself with cabinet advisers whose fitness is bevond question. This view makes the subject one that calls for something larger than a personal re- sponsibility. To do his work effective- 1y, he will have to appeal more and more to popular support. It is now possible to build that up in advance.— New Haven Journal-Courier. / STORIES OF THE WAR | Making an Assault. Tense excitement, but no _flurry, reigns along any sector of the French front just before an assault is to be delivered. The men stand to arms as coolly as though they were going on to the parade ground. They look to the breeches of their rifles, load their magazines, loosen their bayonets in their scabbards, fix the straps of their steel heimets, or tighten their belts. Some of them sit down with thelr backs supported by the side of the trench writing what may be their last messages to their relatives while wait- ing for tne word to “go over.” There is 10 hesitation when this comes.

The Assoclated Pross correspondent had an opportunity. to be in the midst ] of one of these movements of prepara- tion at a_certain point of the French line south of the Somme at a time when the allied offensive was pushing forward with great vigor. In the sector he visited the French and German first-line trenches are separated by a distance of from 200 to 300 yards. Between are barbed wire entanglements, erected at night-time atter the French had driven the Ger- mans from a village ard a wood by surprise. The French excavated with great rapidity approach trenches zig- zagging forward from fifty to eighty yards, where they were joined up by a parallc] trench known as the “taking off parallel.” From this, running still further out, saps were cut leading to- ward the German lines and these were | occupied by listening patrols and armored machine-gun _emplacements. From the bottom of the taking off parallel steps cut in the earth led up to the level ground. Up these the companles chosen for thg assault were to spring on the signal for the depar- {ture and spread out in open formation, dashing works, previously almost bat- tered out of existence by.the French artillery. Shells fell 1intermittently as correspondents _started for the front line. They walked in a wellekept, wide, and deep communication trench, with' a floor of earth, in most places trodden hard by thousands of feet. To go_through its Intricate twistings and twinings to their destination, 4,000 vards away meant a march of ‘ten iles. In this way the front line was reached.
