Perhaps it is o natural that Holland should .blame the allied belligerents for tak- ing ‘the step which they have, but certainly Holland and the other neu- trals bordering the cenfral powers had as great reason for looking out for themselves as. they did for the weifare of Germany. Blinded, how- ever, by the alluring eoffers of _its neighbor Holland has been sending its gocds into Germany and it has been allowing Germany to send ma- terial through Holland into Belgium for war purposes with the result that it is so invoived that it cannot get out of the met and in spite of the way in which it has been turning goods imported from this country and Eng- land to the advantage of. Germany It is now provoked because the entente nations will permit it ¢0 go on no ‘onger. Relying upon its ability to continue to hocdwink this country znd Eng- land, Holland has made no provision for the future. It has gone the limit with its resources in caterin% to the wants of Germany. and that of course it had a perfect right to do if it want- «d to for neutrals have a right ts trade withy belligerents if they ecan, but in such a case Holland should either have reserved enough to take care of itself so as not to bo obliged to look to the belligerents that are fighting Germany for the means of carrying on this trade as well as look- ing aiter its own - wan That is where Holland made its mistake and that is what has brought it to its present’ predicament. It has no one to blame but jtself and Germany. But what eise could it have expected of Germany and what cther course could it expect the allies to follow now? USE MORE WATER POWER. It wasn't long ago that an appeal ‘was made throughout the country for the practice of economy in the use of gasolene. It was made because it was realized that the consumpticn was vlnnrefls:ng at a rapid rate and that ihere was danger of a shortage if ‘some effort was not made to curtail it. It is extensively used in connec- lion with the war and it was fel that many joy rides and pleasure trips gmight well be sacrificed for this Fause. * It has not been apparent that there has been any change.. There are as many autos in use and for as many purposes as ever. if not more, and in %his connection it is interesting to note that the United States Geological Eurvey, in statistics covering the out- put and sale of crude petroleum for the nineteen months ending with July, thows that while there has bteen a speeding up in production there has been a stiil greater increase in con- “sumption. Where the stock of crude il was increasing last year it is de- creasing twice as fast this vear as it as stored last year. This directs at tention to the necessity of making the best use of what we have and ef- fecting a saving wherever possibla whether it be in the use of tlhie auto cr other cases where the internal combustion engine is used. But at the same time trouble is be- ing experienced getting coal. It is high in price and unsatisfactorily dis- tributed,” which makes it hard to un- derstand why greater attention is not being turned towards the development of the vast amount of waterpower which is going to waste every day. It is well enough to economize, It is desirable to develop any other possi ble substitute for gasolene and it is well toe make steam plants as effi- cient as possible bu: there doesn't appear to be any good reason why the water privileges should not be utilized more extensively. Conserva- tion cannot be practiced any more wisely than In that direction. AN IMPORTANT OPINION. ‘We have received many reporis re- garding the attitude of the pe ple in ‘he central powers concerning it 1 con- [ing ,out- their aims with little handi- ha; renson for fearing the results of the “pheaval which tock place in Russia. coming in mean that the people of this country do mnot yet redlize that we are at wat? According to the plan of those em- ployed upon the vessels at that point it is jntended to go.out on a strike the thirds day of November if the de- mands of the men have not béeen com- plied with. The members of the va- ricus unions are seeking an increase in pay, making the pléa that it is necessary that they get it in order to meet the® cost of living. What such a s‘ep would mean to New York, or to any big port for that matter, rushed as it is at the present time with war business can be readily imagined in view of the large num- bers_involved and the fact that they would have the moral and financial support of the longshoremen who number upwards of 59,000. A strike is the last thing t'at should occéur. There is enough irouble experienced in get- ting the transportation needs of the country met at the present time with- out having anything like this take place, and it is obligatory mpon the part of the governmeént to do its ut- most to avert the matter. - There is no reason why such a de- mand. and the refusal of the employes to meet it, cannot be adjusted in a sensible manmer. There is no rcason why the government or the public should be made to suffer the detri- menta] eéffects of a strike at any time but mere sespecially just now. What is needed is to get down to the actual facts in the matter. put them on -the table and settle the matter according to the facts. All this can be done by arbitration and in the mean- time, until the adjustmsnt has been made. business can go a'ong as usual without loss to ths natien or to the public eor to tko: immediately in- volved. It is the only thing to do and it is to be hoped that the shipping board will be able to accomplish it. AUTO THIEVES. From one end of the eountry to the other those who are malking a prac- tice of stealing automobiles. autom bile parts or in fact anything which can be catried off about a car, ar~ getting rich at the business. Coutd it be totaled up, it is belleved that the loss which is thus experienced every vear wowld mount up well into the millions. But in spite of ail that is being ddne the thieves are carry cap. When owners cannot put their, machines in theif garage, leave them a moment by the curb or park thim in the city without standing a go'd chance of losing them, or of haviug an extra tire stoléen, or in fact tig car jacked um in the street and ond of the tires removed while the owner. is not 50 feet distant, it is time tbat greater attention was given to run- ning down such gangs. Regardless of all that is being done to place a check upon this business the number of stolen cars does not show any decrease. There is need for the authorities to exércise greater at- tention in this direction, but at the same time there is also as great need for running down those who deal in such stolen property, for unless cars and accessories can be disposed of they are of nd value in a majority of the cases to the robbers. Something of this same trouble used < experienced by the owners of hotses until severe penalties were ap- plied to those who engaged in such business and it looks as if the same methods would have to be adopted re- garding automobiles. When an auto thief gets no more consideration than a horse thief does'in some localities there will be a prompt and effectual stop put to such thievery. EDITORIAL NOTES. The map on the cornmer says: Many are finding out that prejudice is noth- ing to depend upon to win a ball game, or a world's serfes. When Brazil decides to use the seized German vessels for trade with the allies, it is a wise ‘recognition of shipping needs. Those who have been having s5 much to say in support of <Count Bernstorfft must be doing a lot of hemming and hawing these days. It is fortunate that evervbody is not constituted like thay Chicago, man who dropped dead after being charged ten cents for a glass of beer. e LS S Now that the German sailors are throwing their captains overboard, possibly the German people will fol- low the same course with the kaiser. | The revolt of the crews at Wilhems- shows that Berlin had every Can the slowness with which the subscriptions to the Liberty loan are Regardless of the assurances that to her. instead of vours I ean tell stantly 1 wm{ldn‘:t stand it for one single min- ute!
