There is a strong demand for the ending of the war coming from Aus- tria ‘and there are reasons for be- lleving that Germany is to a large extent inclined in the same direction with those who are referring to insisting that it must be, however, a peace which they can conclude with honor. From the ent are spea g for nations z it plain that 7 be no peace talx and no nezotiations en- tered into under the pr 'nt state affairs. Germany as the leader of the central powers has shown its hand in such a manner that there can be thought of endi present of the 1 g o the status which the wa: Such it is re; 1ld mean it would be onlv befere another be openeq, kind from ever oceurring ag: There can b it is the de. that the and the foture peace ment of mankind demands esianism be crushed, menace to humanit re- he which has that rig.

Peace come when right is victoriou GERMAN INSURANCE COMPANIES It was not long age that the presi- dent cons it necessary to pass an order preventing German insur- ance companies from engaging in mfrine business either through new those which had companies. This step was of course confined to the and resulted from period of the the fact that the agents of such com- war paries wer: in a position to uable information relat movements of ships from the this country which would he of much assistance if communicated to the In order to prevent any ty of such information re enemy through such a sour vital that the source showld get val- to the ports of was be eliminated. Now an effort through an amendment to the trade- with-the-enemy bill to give the Ger- man fire insurance companies the unrestricted right to carry on their business as in the past. There has been a feeling that these German owned or controlled companies should be prevented from doing business which would give them the opportun- ity to send their inspectors into the shipyards of the country, for the as- certainment of facts which would be vainable to any agents who, as in the past, might be bent upon causing des- truction and it must be realized that safety dictated the feeling. Ascasdine to the amendment. how- is being made )| made to overcome the l ever, the would be Iét down. The good work which was done regarding the shutting off of any information concerning shipping would be nullified regarding the industrial plants of the country abeut which the Inspectors of German companies couid learn to the minutest detail what this coumtry is doing in the way of getting out sup- plies and where it is being dome. It is not helieved that such would be permitted in any other of the allied nations and there doesn’t appear to be sufficient reason back of the de- mand that it should be permitted here, OCEAN FREIGHT RATES. In eonnection with the big jump in prices which took place as the result of the war, which has stood out mcre promiently than the ocean freight rates. Great demands have been made upon ship- ping in all countries and the supply cf freight carriers capable of operat- ing between this country and Eurepe, and Europe and other countries has never been sufficient to meet the re- quirements. The result has 'been that many stranded vessels, ships which were not considered worth repairing and old Steamers have been put into service- able condition, at no slight expense, to relieve the situation. Shipbuilding has likewise shown a great revival and in spite of the efforts which have been shortage in <hips it has not been accomplished. The submarine warfare has been a telling factor in making the situation worse and while small fortunes have been paid for aimost anything that would float there has been a corre- sponding increass in rates both be- cause of the demand for ships and the danger that is involved in the trans- oceanic service. But in spite of the .losses which have been inflicted by the U-boats some of the steamship lines have be- gun to pay dividends when they never Aid anything of the kind before, and those which have been accustomed to show good profits have been paying great fat' extras, in spite of war taxes. T'nder such conditions it is not sur- prising that this country and Great Pritain have come to the conclusion that there is need of regulating these ocean rates. It is necessary to set ships which are available in the first place, since owners are demanding almost the price of a ship for a single trip, and in the second place it j time to knack out this unjust advan- tage which is being taken on account of the war. It lies within the power of these governments to bring about this reform and there can be no ques- tion but what it is needed and needed at once. BE CONSIDERATE TO ANIMALS. Even during an ordinary summsr season, when the hot weather is not characterized by periods of extreme heat, the advice which is put forth by the societies which are constantly at work to see that the dumb animals are given proper and humane atten- tion should receive due consideration and be closely followed, not only that they may be kept in condition to do their best work but that they may escape abusive and unfair treatment, but this is imperative when abnormal heat conditions prevail. It is necessary that the horse shou'd be driven slowly, that it should be given the benefit of a shady spot whenever such is possible, that it should be allowed frequent oppor- tunities to rest, that it should not be overburdened and that as comfort- able stabl conditions should be arranzed as possible. It shouid also be remembered that thc horse requires- 2 cool draught as much and as often as human beings during tor- rid weather, to see that it is not overheared and then given all the eold water it can drink, for animals are as susceptible to such lack of consideration as peo- ple are, while a bath and a rub down at night is as refreshing to beast as to man. Great responsibility rests upon drivers durinz the summer season Tt cannot be expected that horses can be used like a piece of machinery or that they can be driven iike an auto- mobile and not suffer from the effec thePeof. The horse is a faithful ani- mal. It is willing and responsi when given the right attention and it is as important if good results are going to be obtained that such should be realized by those who have them In that other their it is necessary animals should come in for share of attention on hot days. They are subject to prostration the same as people and an important contri! can be mads towards their relief well as minimizing the danger of their going mad with the heat if the proper amount of thought is given to their care EDITORIAL NOTES. These are the days when precious little satisfaction is obtained by con- sulting the thermometers. From the way in which the selec- tive draft is working out it appears to be another case of the surviva! of the fittest. The man on the corner says: Am- bition these days is confined to feel- ing just a bit cooler than the other fellow admits. When the kaiser refers to the y of German deeds” he unques- tionably has in mind the bath of blood which he has given to Europe. A Harvard professor declares that ten cents'a day for food is pienty. but it isn't belleved that he would get far in an argument with a restaurant proprietor. If American food Is vital to Italy and all that FEuropean neutrals nesd it for is to help out Germany. it ought not to require long to decide where the supplies should go. There are those of course who while they kick, forget that it was only a short time ago that they de- clared they would have nathing to say if it would only warm up. Such an attack as the British apd French are making upon the German air raids which might be made upon defenseless men, women and children.

What caused her_ displeasure?” “Please dom’t be frivolou: You know Miss Sarah is often kind, even if she is rather set and peculiar.” “Yes, 1 know shes been kind to us more than once ,especially in the mat- ter of supervision. I remember that when you first engaged Katie three years ago she came. up here and told you you mustn't hire her-because ail of Katie’s family were shiftless.

I do not pretend to know how Herr Lehmadnn arrives at his figures dealing with tonnage, but as his Pan-German admirers have hailed them both as war and magnificent, they must represent to some extent what is wanted. Here they are: Before the war The Central Powers had 6,800,000 tons, and The kntente Powers (excluding U. S. A) had 28,400,000 tons. Afterdga Scheidemaun Peace” The_ Central Powers would have 4,700,000 tons, and The Entente Powers 24,000,000. But_after “a German Peace” The Central Powers would have 17,800,600 tons, and The Entente Powers 10,900,000 tons. Then comes the question of an in- demnity.

Every fighting maa will feel added confidence and willingness to do pay—at present-dav figures, which are naturally constantly increasing— a sum of £10,000,000,000 to Germany.

Patriotism means a lot to most of us when it is accompanied by a sort of grandstand play. We ean all feel | thrills and chokings in out threat at the sight of Old Glory borne up the street ahead of a brass band playing patriotic airs. The time when we get over that and feel the hadships of a patriot are when we go homie and plan for meals or count up change left after doing the day’s marketing. or debate upon what we can afford to have for dinner. Then we shed our trailing robes of glory and begin to grumble like any unin- spired creatures who have never cheered a flag or kept step to martial music. ‘Why were we ever drawn into this wretched war?” we cry. “Look at the price of meat and vegetables! Do you know what 1 had to pay for my last bag of flour? It's a shame that the necessities of life should be tax ed like this! No children!
