There cannot help h isfaction over the show ade by the ships in getting through the war zones during the The reason for the large the number of vessej ned and ther: is Lether it was due to increased uc tivity on the part of the vessels of the allies which are hunting them, whether there was a slackening in the efforts of the submarines or whether | because of the losses which have been sustained It was finpossibie for the underwater boats to keep up their pace of the previous week. Whatever the wause of it was the news of the re- duction is gratefully received. Indications point very strongly to the fact that a drive was made on the high seas at the same time that the great drive was taking place on land. There was a combined effort to break down the allies in every way. The undertaking was certainly ambi- tious and the sinking of the 28 vessels in the week previous was a feather in the cap of Germany. That such was not likely to be continued 'was be- lieved at that time and it has been borne out by the decided slump which has taken place during the past week during which for the first time in many weeks the number of large Yoats torpedoed was less than the small ones. It may be that the re- duction in the loss is only due to the uncertainties of the submarine war- fare, although it is to be hoped that it will be continued but it is nevertheless a reduction which serves to decrease the average and a saving in ships which is certainly welcomed. CZERNIN'S PEACE TALK, By his address to the municipal council in Vienna this week Count Czernin revived again the talk which has been going on in the dual monar-, chy about a negotiated peace. But at that same time he likewise showed that whatever the aims of his previ- cue statements and whatever the de- sire of the people of that country for peace then and row, there was nevet eny serious prospect that it could te negotiated. When Count Czernin clsimed tbat he had deen sounded by Premier Clemer- cean in an exdeavor t: £nd out what| Acstro-Hungary's terms of peace were and that he had told the head of the French government that there was nothing in the way of openinz such negotiations except the aquestion of Alsace-Lorraine in which matter Ger- many was supported, whereupon Pre- mier Clemenceau refused to proceed further, he either made his statement up out of whole cloth ¢r else he dis- torted the real situation. This Is evi- Senced by the declaration of Premier Clemenceau to the effect that Coumt Ceernin had told an untruth. But the count nevertheless by his wesertion makes It plain that as far as bs government is concerned there is a. full understanding with Germany and that the duai monarchy is going to, in- vst with Germany that Alsace-Lor- raine remain German property. Rnowing how the allies stand upon this point that makes it evident that there was never any chance of the peace talk which has come from Aus- ria amounting to anything and That it was as suspected simply a nove for the purpose of misleading the mtents nations. . GAMBLERS AND GUNMEN. If it was thought that the manner n which the Rosenthal murder case n New York was disposed of would rut an end to gunmen in the big city t is quite evidemt that such an idea acked good foundation. There can le no question but what the- convic- fon and. execution of those involved aust have had some good effect but it s quite evident that there is an ele- sent in that city which is encourag- ng the gunmen for such help as they an get from them. This is brought to increased atten- ion by the recent murder of a ambler who had decided to turn up- n the leaders of the gambling ring nd give information to the district ttorney which would result in the ar- est and prosecution of the much ought head and brains of the gang thich had been fleecing people right nd jett in that city. The man who s killad in tha aof hix owa B e e PR SR ce is made evi- nt by the drastic punishment in- flicted, but his death simply increases responsibilities of the New York ‘t not only/ punish the but to push all the harder crusade which is béing conducted D SR STANDING BACK OF THE NATION » In the battle of ballots the loyal people of Wisconsin have gained a de- cisive vietory. Inasmuch as both the republican and democratic candidates pledging loyalty candidate, which reflects no credit up- on the state, must be regarded as the manifestation of those who are against not only the government but the coun- try and willing to do whatever they can to give comfort and encourage- ment to the ¢nemy. It is gratifying to learn, however, that e decidedly different situation prevailed in the city of Chicago where many pacifists have been persistently putting forth their‘propaganda. There the socialist candidates were com- pletely snowed under, which might i have been no different than what i would have occurred at other times except that they have been Iaying much “ stress upon the war situation 2nd as the resuit.the democratic can- } didates were chosen by greater plurali- | ties than ever.

Fifty-three persons were killed by automwobiles in New York city during ¢ month of M 2. That lacks but little of being at the rate of two a day aud certainiy it represents a | condition which ne city could be proud of. it is therefore only what ought to be expected when Mayor Hylan sends a protest to his police com- missicner against the reckless driving of light cars and trucks in the thor- fares of that city. There may be, and probably are, in- stances, where the persons killed were somewhat to blame for not taking the proper precautions to save themselves, but when the mayor writes “If chauf- feurs would drive their cars at a slower rate of speed there would be a chance to stop if a person careless- iy ran in front of the machine” it is quite evident that he regards the recklessness and the disregard of the traffic laws as the chief causes of this high and uncalled for death rate. Such being the ecase there is every reason why he should look upon the speed of such vehicles in violation of the or- dinances as criminal negligence and carelessness and why he should in- sist upon the giving of increased at-| tention to the enforcement of the laws. 2 It must be realized that speed reg- ulations amount to nothing unless they are respected and there are those who do not intend to respect them unless they are'made to do so and the com- bined negligence upon the part of the drivers and the authorities is bouma to result in a steady increase in the number who are killed. 1 EDITORIAL NOTES. From the delightful opening of April it was to be expected there would be a setback. As yet the promised taking of Pe- trograd has not materiaiized. Lenine is probably greatly disappoi/nted. The Liverty loan drive should start off with a hum and be continued in the same manner taroughout the des- ignated periog. This country has confidence in Gen- eras Foch when he guarantees that the much coveted 4mizns will not be taken by the Germans.

It is to bé found in the pages of a’curious and entertaining little volume pub- lished in Edinburgh in the year 1720, entitled “The Rules of Good Deport- ment.” One of the profouhd utter- ances of the author of this work runs as follows: *“A high brow or proud behaviour, whether in gesture or speech, is insupportable clownish- ness.” Mr. Benjamin Dale, one of our most brilliant young composers, who has had the misfortune to be interned at Ruhleben—he was visiting Bayreuth when war broke out—is busy writing a symphony. Mr. Dale was, before the war, looked’ upon as the most promising of our younger generation of musicians. The fine piano sonata with which at the age of 19 he won the Hambourg prize a few years ago is considered by many judZes to be the most remarkable work of its kind produced at a Philharmonic Concert vourable motice on the Continent, where it has beep performed in sev- eral big towns. | noticed a pretty incident in the Tube, writes 'a correspondent, that well illustrates the excellent feeling that exists between ou: officers and men, Two “Tommies” laden with their “pots and pans” occupied seats in a crowded compartment, and al- though clearly mud-stained and weary, rose to allow two women to have their seats. A staff-colonel and major were in the same compart- ment. Sceing what hadl happened, simultaneously rose and insisted on the “Tommies” taking their seats. Noblesse oblige, indeed! The pranks, writes a correspondent, of the disputed consonant in the “household word” are many. The French will tell you that their own soft “g” is exclusively theirs. But it is good English property; only we call it “s” in “pleasure” and “z” in “seizure.” It may be hunted up in Portuguese also, and it abounds in that delightful local language, Genoese, though good Italian knows it not. The ‘“u,” by the way, that the Frenchman thinks all his own is right Genoese also. And has not our Devonshire something like it?—London Chronicle.

They lost no time in getting their artillery into action, and the way they peppered the vicin- ity was a shame. Their firing was absolutely rotten. They must have been nervous. Hundreds of shells were fired. Finally a direct hit was registered and the dummy “tank” went up in smoke. The day before this performanoce they had encountered, or escaped with their lives only, from three of the real ones. It was in the village of Thiep- val where all our efforts to take the place had been futile. Every cellar was a fort and every ruined wall' a machine gun emplace- ment. Underground passageways and tunnels connected the fortifled posi- tions with the rear support qf the Germans. Fritz feit perfectly safe. Imagine his surprise at daybreak one morning at seeing three monsters coming toward them, through shell craters, over parapets and dugouts at a slow methodical gait. It was the first appearance of the tanks. Their two six-pounders and four machine guns spread terror and death as they approached, Fritz didn't stop to in- vestigate. There was a wild scramble for safety in the rear, rifles and equip- ment being discarded on the way. Few of the defenders escaped and a large number of prisoners were taken. Unfortunately two of the tanks were put out of commission, but the third more than made up for them. That tank wen clear through the heavy barrage of shells and paraded up and down the ruined streets of the town until every cellar and dugout that of fourteen who had stolen some lab- oratory apparatus committed suicide, leaving a letier in which he spoke of “chemistry, which I love and die for.” I was glad to see that in the case of another boy of fourteen, charged at Cambridge with “having stolen over 160 maps from boks in the Public Li- brary,” the end of the adventure was the less tragic one of being bound over. Theft of maps is, of course, wrong, especially from books in pub- lic libraries; but a boy must be pretty fond of maps to take the rick, and geographical enthusiasm is not such a notable feature -of English youth that it should be discouraged by tco pedantic an adherence to the moral law.
