AUTO ACCIDENTS.. THeré can be mo questidn but what the state motor vehicle department is right when it declares from a review of its records that the most com- mon causes of automobile ¢ollistons are cutting corners, attempts of one car to pass another from the rear in an unsuitable place and. cutting in ahead. These are all practices which are resorted t6 by auto drivers and the fact that they cause sceident after accident, and not a few fatalities, does not appear to result in any let up. The underlying cause of the whole trouble is carelessness and a rckless disregard for the rights of others. The grestest danger to the automohbile driver who observes thé law and who respects the regulations is caused by the fellow. who fs not only willing but seemingly anxious to take chances, the fellow who will force his car through tight places for the purpose of showing off and the one who will not hesitate to encroach upon the right of way of another driver in or- 2er to a slowing down or to pre- vent the possibility of a moment’s de- iay ‘even though he is on a pleasure trip and has plenty of time at his command. For the most part such operators are experienced drivers, and it is /probable that they avoid collisions in fhe great majority..of ecases, but there are too many instances where they do not, as the records show, but when it is realized that the accidents witich do occur are fon the most part needless, or could be avoided by the use of better judgment. it is not sur- prising that-there is a widespread de- #and for the impositicn of stiff pen- alties in such cases that greater safe- fy in the highways may be assured. THE REDUCED SUBMARINE TOLL Every decrease which takés place in the number of vessels suuk by the submarines is cause for congratula- tion. It indicates that greafer effect- iveness is following the efforts put forth by the allies to combat ‘the men- - ace, or else it means 2 slackening in the -programme of Germany. It is to be appreciated. however, re- wardless of which Is the real cause of the decline, that it means the over- coming of the loss of just so much <hipping and that the transportation problem is being ajded just that much. The handicaps which are being placed in the wav of ship construction are Deing offset every time the subma- rine toll is cut down. But that fact, or the fact that the past week has shown the smallest lcss in ships since the ruthiess war- fare started, cannot be allowed irnfany way to slacken the efforts which are being put forth in behalf of a greater nrerchant marine. This country, and ifs allies, need ships as they were never needed before. France has war supplies which have been waiting on the docks of this ‘countfy for a year or more, but which it cannot zet trans- ported because it has not the ships 2nd it cannot get any. Australia has zrain, two or more crops, which ean be, and will be, sent to the allies @3 soon as the necessary ships can be secured. This country likewise Is In need of more ships as fast as it can can get them. Thev are neceéssary for the domestie and foreign tradei and they are needed for the proper con- duct of the war. We must be thank- ful for every dacrease in ‘the losse# bfit we canrot allow such to in any way interfere with our. ship production. WATERWAY [MPROVIEMENTS, In calling attention to the letting up in the improvement of inland wa- terways, because the money which would be deveted to such a purpose can be put to much better use other ways, onme critle thinks that; it this work had been carried out 8o that the profects could have been pleted by this time the country wo be able to get some benefits in t:fi- portation which are missing now. That of course seems quite logicd] becayse if we happen to have at We need, ar what we have been clam- oring for, it would seem as if .we could get the advantage which wotld g0 Wwith it. It is a question, however, whether such wodld result in this case even though the millions wiich would have had to be spént had been iaid out. There is ne cuuml but what we would Have the warerways insofar as - the lmwru matter of improvements does not se- riousiy interfere with their water wafie and it fs impossible to seécure ;‘;:h tra; -pamnon“n:h hllll”neplla l“lld requirements e e de- The facflfties are fot avail- able. This is not however because the water routés are not open, for they are. It would be the sime way With these inland watérway improve. ments. We might hivé them at the cost of millions but if there ars no vessels to .use them they might as \well: not be had. The plan of letting ‘those things wait which can wait without serious results is unquestion- ably a wise one. NOT IN THAT BUSINESS. ‘ The judge in a Vermont court who gave twe automobile thieves a sus- pended sentence, provided they would cnlist in the navy, is due not only for a reprimand from the navy officials but for an expression of their opinion | rom the parents of sons who are al- réady in that branch of the naticn’s defense. It is a curious idea which come people have that thie navy s a réformatory. Nothing is farther from the fact and no one should understand this better than the judges of the eourts. It is unquestionably true that the navy doessmuch for the younz men who eniist’ therein by teaching them discipline and by curbing wild in- clinations in some imstances, but the navy is not on-institution for dealing Wwith the criminal or the nedr crimi- nal class. This ha# beén pointed out so many times that it i3 astonishing that a dge in Vermont, or in fact in any ate, would tmpese any such alter- Antive in giving a suspended sentence. No one looks apon & Sérntence to & re- formatory as anything ereditable to the one sentenced. 1t 18 not a place ‘whers one is sent bécause be is in- clined to obey the laws and do what is richt. Ne one wowld wiant to be gent there unless he deserved it, be- cause of the associations. But a judge might as well expect that he could send the non-criminal to & reforma- tory to uplift those there as t> sénd those guilty of breaking the ldw to fhe navy for thé purpose of curing hem of their tendeneies. How many yeung men would be anxious to en- 1ist in the navy, or the army for that matter, If 1t was known -to be the practice of those departments to ac- cept as associates for them the wrong- doers of the nation? The navy might prove beéneficlal to auto thieves but it is Wot in that business. STOPPING GERMANY’S SUPPLIES In keeping with the determination of this country to préveat supplies from reaching thé enemy, the action which has been taken by Great Brit- ain in placing a similar embargo upon its exports, whereby licenses will henceforth be requifed for ali goods going to the neutral nations con- tiguous to y, i a 8tép which promises much needéd and powerful results. Such a decision is bound to bring a certain amount of reaction, for the neutrals aré going to stop sending zoods to Great Britain and this coun- try if they cannot get what goods they seek froft those nations, but the ef- fect has been carefully considered. It iz action which has mot been hastily taken. E It has been determined that goeds which were going from Great Britain were finding their way to Germany, ‘even as were those which were fm- ported frorp this country. Goods which were sent to Great Britain have been transshipped from that counmtry ‘o the neutrals and them used for ren- dering the much needed aseistance which Germany had come to deépend upon. Such being the case theére was nothing to do but to stop it and to stop it in 4 marnmer that would be effective and produce thé desired re- sults. - Germany has proved an iron mas- ter with the neutrals in getting what it wante@ and in permitting such supplies as it sends to zo to the neu- trals. Tts one purpose has been to elp Germany and Germany has prof- itéd. The neutrals have gone short on necessities to get the benefit of the prices paid by Germany, but henceforth they must look out for themselves. It was a hard step for this country and Great Britain to take but the blame for it can be charged right up by the neytrals to them- zelves. The alltes have been supply- ing Germany, through the neutrals, too long already. EDITDRIAL NOTES.
