This has been decided and it has come as the result of _the disclosures which have been made regarding the failure of the present method of producing airplanes in this country.

The “Faith,” recently built and launched at San Francisco, has been carefully inspected by experts employed by the government and her construction has been heartily approved.

On just what part of the western line the Teutonic forces are getting ready to renew their offensive has mot been amnounced from the German headquarte: From the activity in which they are engaged, however, it §s possible from the observations of along the same lines a change is to be made, with the possibility that there will be a single directing head who will be directly responsible to the war department rather than t6 soms other branch which is controlled by the war department. In recognition of the need of air- planes and more airplanes, it cannot help being realized that this branch be placed on the most efficient basis. We cannot afford to follow failure with failure. One lesson is sufficient and action cannot be taken too quick- 1y to bring about the benefits of the remedy properly anplied. Once such a step is taken the aircraft produc- tion ought to proceed as effectively and satisfactorily as the meeds of the nation demand. MEAT ANIMALS.

As it is, the great vessel of 19, 000 tons with her crew and passen- gers, nearly three hundred in all, has utterly disappeared, nor has a trace of her been found by any of the many navy craft that have been sent in search of her. The Germans got a footing on Mes- sines Ridge last week and were able to drive their way a little further up the -valley of the Lys, but desperate efforts did not avail to widen their field of operations. -Any advance westward up the river would be unjus- tified from a military point of view, as long as the shoulders of their deeply driven wedge are flanked by the strong British positions of Messines Ridge on the north and the heights of Givenchy on the south.

It Bes been used to advantage on the sastern front, and the bending back of the allied line on the south part of the western front, followed by the drive into the line at the north leaves the enemy in a position to get around ' the rear of Vimy ridge and the other strons defenses where the Ca- nadian and other troops have refused to budge. This means that the allies, being forewarned, are going to be properly prepared to meet such operations. E ery day is putting them in a better position to block such an effort and there is no reason to believe but what General Foch is thoroughly capable of handiing his troops to the best ad- vantdge. whether a new formation or the old massed formation is pre- sented. HIGHWAY SAFETY. The record of automobile accidents and fatalities which is given out by the motor vehicles department of the state for the month of Murch shows that thers were 86 accidents reported during the 31 days, which is at the rats of almost three a day, and as the resmlt of these accidents there were nine fatalities, or more than two » week This report of course covers only the reported accidents, but there are rea- sons to believe that there were others of which the department has mo in-| formation, although such in all prob- bility did not cause any serious re- lts. With the record before it, however, the motor vehicles department cer- lainly finds sufficient reason for fn- wWsting upon a better observance of the automobile laws even if it s re- quired to devote greater attemtion to the enforcement. In such a record, and unless there is a better observ- ance it can be expected that it will ®row greater in the succeeding months when a larger use is being made of the highways by such vehicles, there unquestionably lies the reason for the poliey recently adopted of placing rep- resentatives of the department on the highways of the state for the purpose of seeing that the requirements of the law are ftved up to. 1t is certainly proper that those who are not disposed to obey the law amd #ee that the rights of others to the use of the highwaye are respected must be made fo. Such a move is highly commendable and it is to be hoped that the efforts to overcome the conditions will result in the improve- ment that is so greatly needed. IN THE EARTHQUAKE BELT. ‘While it is fully understood in Cali- formia that earthquakes are things which cammot be disregarded, it has been shown from time to time that there is Mttle or nothing that can be done in the way of anticipating them. The effects have got to be accepted whenever and wherever they occur. It is well known ‘that that is a re- glon where such disturbances can be expected =t most any time. For a number of months there have been simflar quakes to the south in Central Mmerica. That did not of necessity mean that the towns in southern Cal- Sfornia were scheduled for similar vis- itations at this time, and the fact that they have just now gone through an undesirable experience does not mean that there will not be more earth- quakes and possilbiy worse ones right wn top of what has happened, This but it must be realized that imasmuch as food is going to be a prime factor in the prosecution of the war the fact that the letting up in the restrictions on meat, with the resulting increase in price is going to call for as much at- tention in the keeping up of the meat supply as in the increased production of wheat ‘and jother grains. The increase in meat animals during the past year and the increase in the amount of meat In storage will not be sufficient to take care of the growing demands in this country and those from abroad. Many who have found that they can get along with less meat will undoubtedly continue to do so es- pecially since the price gives an added reason, but there is as urgent need that there should be an increase in meat animals during this year as there was in the vear 1917. We must not wait until it is found that we can- ot take care of the requirements or until the price makes it ahsolutely prohibitive. The good work which has Bbeen done must be continued if we are £0ing to experience the realization of the experts who belleve that there will be no serfous meat shortage. EDITORIAL NOTES. Ireland should remember in these days that it is its duty to fight the Germans as much as it is England’s. Putting Count Czernin into the ar-| my may not have a very good result unless he proves to be a better soidier than a diplomat. The idea of putting the Liberty bona over the top this week is a grand one. With everyone doing his part it can be accomplished. Talk as he will Admiral Von Ca- pelle cannot convince all the Germans that the U-boats are proving the suc- cess that he claims, ‘When it is announced that German troops cross a canal simply to surren- der it doesn’t help the Teutonic for- ward movement very much.

It is all right for Admiral Von Ca- pelle to claim, that the United States bas failed in its war against the sub- marine, but it is noticed that Germany is crying loudly for more U-boats. Much difficulty is experienced in try- ing to explain the reason for the de- struction of the city of Rheims. The fact that they didn’t like the name ‘would be sufficient for the Germans. Does the landing of British and French marines in northern Russia mean that the allies and bolsheviki are go- ing to oppose the Germans and Finns, ot Is it another case like the landing of the Japanese at Viadivostok? Although the bolsheviki signed a peace agreement with Germany, the latter is now making demands of all kinds upon the Russian people and burning villages and killing people ‘when the demands are not fulfilled. machine guns by, constant firing into the advancing rank The same story was repeated on the southern side of the wedge, except that here®hardly a foot of ground was ained to compensate for frightful losses. Here the Germans put forth » supreme effort after a furious five- hour bombardment with hign explo- sives and gas. But the British held firm through all these hours of horror, and when the waves of infantry came cn they were met with rifle, machine gun and trench mortar fi The fight went on over a ten mile front. At one point where the Germans wera trving to force a crossing of La Bas- see canal, more of them were killed 1an ‘on any other day of the fighting In this region. It was hére after the climax of the struggle had passed, that 150 Germans hoisted a white handker- chief and surrendered in a body, some even swimming the canal to reach the British lines. Other prisoners tell with horror of the frichtful havoc wrought by the British artillery on the German reserves and transport behind the fighting line. Before the great attack began the Tritish forces had been holding the whole of the Passchendaesl ridge tha extends ten miles east and northeast of the cily of Ypres. This ground had been won at great cost during the op- erations of last fall, yet the position was considered well worth the price paid for it, inasmuch as it was the only high ground on the west and looked eastward without obstruction over the great plain of Ffanders. The rossession of this Tidge not only Ten- dered the position at Ypres secure, but it afforded a point of departure for an anticipated spring drive across Bel- glum. When, however, the Germans ucceeded in driving their wedge so deep into the Eritish lines south of Ypres, it was not deemed safe to re- tain ground lying so far to the east, 4nd the hard-won Passchendaelé ridzs was evacuated, the British lines fall- fng back five miles to the westward. The British public did not conceal their disappeintment a this voluntary retirement, yet it was accepted with- out undue grumbling as part of the Dla nof campaigh. The execution of Bolo Pasha the past weelk brings to a close the gareer of one who might well have brought about the defeat of France despite the utmost efforts of her heroic_soldiers. A Frenchman by birth, Bolo had pur- sued the life of a financial adventurer in both hemispheres, until early in the war he had found himself in Switzerland, out of a job and_bank- rupt. Here he met with German agents and with money secured in New York through the personal efforfs of Bernstorff, he proceeded to buy up certain influential papers in France fn order to control their columns in ths Interest of Germany. Thus the spirit of dlecouragement and “defeatism” was spreading throughout France and it bade fair to undermine all the ef- forts of the French armies, until Bolo was arrested. Evidence was submit- ted to the court-martial that not only convicted Bolo himself but also un- covered the trail of other traitors to France, among them the great ex-pre- mier, Joseph Caillaux, who is now him- self ‘awaiting trial. = As the day for Eolo's execution drew near, he obtain- ed a short reprieve in order that he might furnish_testimony_against his accomplices. Day after day he man- aged to put off his fate until at length the authorities, feeling that he had told all he knew, Sent the wretch- ed man to face the firing squad at Vincennes, Time for Action.

When they smell powder and see blood there is no stopping them. The Germans hate them. They love France and are glad to fight for her. They never sur- vender nor do they give quarter.

WHO SAYS AMERICANS CAN'T By Harrison Rhodes of The Vigilantes. Many Americans, pessimistically inclined, say that our national habit {of wastefulness is so deeply ingrained that even the war cannot breay us of it. But we have only begun to learn what war con do in transforming countries, and what miracles patriot- ism and an aroused national conscious- ness can work. Again, we can learn from England, from which now comes the news of complete food rationing. Our pessimistic critics seem to take a kind of bitter pride in our peing the most wasteful of nations, especially as regards food. They cannot have known England in the days that pre- ceded the war! England was very rich (we were not even the only rich country), and she was above all a prodigal with food. She admitted that she did not know how to cook, but the war proved that she used good materials and plenty of them. Wastefulness was a_quality which seemed peculiarly to appeal to the snobbishness of English servants, and since the number of servants in homes in England was, from our American _point of view, enormous; they set the tone. An English family position was Judged, in the kitchen at least, by the quantity of “butcher’s meat” that came daily. English tables and sideboards literally groaned under the weizht off joints.” You threw what was left of a Yoint away—soups were un-English and minces and hashes and stews had meat stuck on woden skewers.

Airplane Production in England. London, March —Production of mirplanes has been given first place over all other war work in England, announces the British War Cabinet, in its annual report. This priority ap- plies to both labor and the use of ma- terials. The technical difficulties of keeping up-to-date in airplane construction are emphasized. ‘“The science of aeronautics is in a state of constant and rapid_dévelopment” says the cabinet;, “Improvements in engines, airplanes and thelr numerous access- ories are constantly being worked out.” OTHER VIEW POINTS It is sad to think that Bolo Pasha is to lie in a nameless grave in a foi eign land_where it will not be po: ble for Von Bernstorff, Von Tirpi Von Zimmerman, Wilhelm and his other friends to gather and i tributes to hi® services with fower: Waterbury Republican.
