We have a big force of ocean scouts running about, the enemy is sly and crawis about n a careful and desisning way of hts. Doubtless he navy department is summoning all the force it has at its command, and will put more motor boats in commission to make the foe more cautious and less active. The fact that a million and a half of men to France with Foety Joss ¢ 200 a lives speaks to protect our men ARMY SUSTAINERS. It is claimed that it takes five busy men at home to properly support one coldier at the t To assemble and train our great army required the government in 1817-'18 to excead in expenditure the building operations of any one year's work in America before the war. For every five torpedo hdat. destray- the coasts of England and France in search of the U-boats, onme tank ship must be kept constantly ers scouring in transatlantic service to carry to them their supnly of fuel oil For every thousand airplanes eir- cling like avenging eagles above the ranks of the unspeakable Hun, the oil- flelds of the United States must daily supply between 2,000 and 3000 barrels of gasoline. A single order from the navy for 50,000,000 feet of wire rope is matched by one from the army for 10,000,080 pairs of shoes:®from. the shipping board for 1,200 ships; and from the food administration for meat products to the value of $200,000,000 per month to feed ‘the armies and navies of America and the allies. We are all sustaining the army by eur work and our means, and when the drive begins next month we should all be ready to Tift! WHY THIS CHANGE OF CONDUCT? Thesconduct:of the U-boat comman- ders in American waters is not as merefless and” piratieal: as’il has been in the war zone over seas. They are more closely observing intermational law. The law declares i? the-captor can- mot take his prize into his ports ow- ing to their great.distance, the dan- gerous nearness of the enemy’s naval forces, the unseaworthy character of the captured vessel, or the impossibil- ity to spare a prize crew, he may sink the prize, but only after mak- ing proper provision for the safety of the passengers and crew, the shipis vapers, and the innocent cargo on railroad magnates for without to be sold for America over yoard. 1t he canpot make this pro vision, he must release the ves [ Phus, it follows necessarily that a sub-, marine may not be mnloy‘?d‘ against any maritime craft other than fighting ships or commissioned a1 illaries of the enemy; for, obwiously, a submarine cannot fulfi the indis- pensable condition of making ade- quate provision for the safety of the passengers and crew. 1t is clear, therefore, that, "apart from considerations of fairness and Mumanity, the sinkimg of merchant- men without ‘witheut exam- ination, and without prowiding means on board, is in law a gross ertme. As such, it is punishabie. Abroad the crew of neutral boats have been mercilessly murdered, but in American waters at presemt they are permitted to eseape in their boats. The Entente natidhs expeet to eom- pel the recognition of these violations of maratime Iaw as a crime, and to demand reparation for all losses and ccmppensation for owners and those dependent upon seamen criminally slaim, Tt is to be hoped our govermment will be staunch in its' demands when the day for reparation arrives. THE CROP OUTLOOK. The crop reports in the Entente countries are good. The Amerlean swheat vield will be two hundred mil Tion hushels more than it was last vear, the French crop 130 million bushels more than last vear and the British 30 million bushels greater, a total of 360 millions in excess for the thiee nations. Two million more acres of land were planted with wheat and potatoes! than Jast year in Great Britain; and as the kitchen gardens in America were doubled there is no fear that we shall be shart of the leading, life-sustain- ing_erops. So far as Russia and the Ukraine are concerned, the Central Empire has little to hove from them. In Austria the crops are reported to be a failure and Germany with its weakened people will not be able to raise an average crop of anything. In fact, it could not begin to feed itseif in times of peace. The Huns will have whatever surplus they can se- cure from Rumania, Poland and other conquered provinces. 3 From the crop point of view the| Entente appear to be much more ‘se- cure than the foe. WHAT 18 IN DEMAND. In Carry On, the New Soldiers’ Wel- fare Magazine, Charles M. Schwab writes of “lainching men anew.” that is requiring of them the best that in them is, which is a way of awaking them to their real worth and bringing up their seif-reliance to 100 per cent. This is his first sentence in an ar- ticle every patrietic American will en- joy: “If ihere is one thing today that American industry is searching for than anvthing else, it Is There is no lack of brains in Amer- ica, and it was braims_which epabled the American soldier to bayonet seven Germans to save his own lite, - al- though he was wounded twice, as well as brains that developed the clampion riveter wiio drives more riv- ets in a day than any two men ever did_before the war. The nafion needs brains in every department of industry to sustain the army at the front, to repair the in- jured and to instruct the blind and crippled in new self supperting jines of industry after the war. _ ° The habit of Wping things intelli- nstead of in a perfunctory way man-power, and the quality of -output in any business anywhere, at any time.

The way to beat the Huns is to keep them moving so they cannot grow their own lettuces and beans. The Kaiser's sword only drips in pictures. In real purpose it amounts 1 no more than a cheese-knife. The map of Europe Wilhelm has dreamed about is net goinz to be the standard map of the future.

For a filmy lle can this be beaten? ¢ The reason the Germans do not be- lieve they are a menace to civilization is because they have beén taught they represent the only civilization therg is. Lenine and Trotsky were pacifibts, but they seem to feel perfectly at home with the German belligerents. . The Man on the Cornér says: Nor- wich streets are in an awful condi- tion, but Norwich polities are werse. The police chief who sees stvle in a shirt waist for the guardians of the peace in dog-days has a clear vision for both style and eomfort. The German navy will make a rep- utation for having been rocked to sleep if it doesn’t do something ex- cjting seon. Do not think the Kaiser got noth- ing for the 30 million he spent in propoganda in America. It cost Uncle Sam twice this sum to look after his spies, apd_they did that much dam- age bombing and setting fire to ships and industries. In two wars, with Austria in 1865 and France in 1870, Germany lost less than 35,000 men. In. this war she has lost more than that number in a day. Germany allowed 20000 Serbian maids to be sold to the Turks.at four dellars apiece. She should be obliged to pay $25,000 for every maid ravish- ed or enslaved by her. 5 It took 64 million pounds of sugar last year for the liquor makers, and we are pushing sweethearts down to a one-pound box ef eandy.

The Dutch ne- Zotiators strongly oppesed these con- ditions, so that it is improbable that many of them will be agreed to, but the Germans particularly insist on 60,000 cattle, and a certain man has begun buying up cows. In his last article, Herr Feiler deals with “the seriousness of the future.” Always assuming that Germany tan get peace and escape the terrors of the economic compulsion which she fears, he is pot particularly pessimistic. He assumes that Germany will at least be compelled to face the problem of tax- ation and to pursué a real social pol- iey; the main drawbacks are that tax- ation reform and social reform will come. so late, after the destruction of 50 much life ard eo much capital. He writes. 2 It helps us little now to reflect what a Paradise on earth we could have con. structed with the same expenditure in time of peace. The milliards have gone, and the magic wand which would bring them back, painlessly will not be found, although so many people are seeking it. There is only one way —~to work and to save. <5 The restoraticn will take a much longer time than the. destruction. Shortaze of capital, accentuated by the gigantic credit recuirements of the States, will put its stamp upon all economics for years, perhaps for decades to come. Times of scaseity will come upon mankind. But there js ome good way to bear them—no Tonger ‘to desire lux urious living. Want will force us to practise renuneiation. and we hope that higher things and purer joys than in the past will be sought and found. Life will he hard and serious. But the German people will have the courage and the strength to bear this also. Having held out through this war, we shall be. able to stand fer peac This is all very interesting and in- spiring, but the trouble is that Herr Feiler has to end his dissertations with the plaintive question:— But when will peace come? As long as. that question is not answered, all preliminary thinking about the future remains. untimely and out ef place. . Hague correspandent reports:—At Cogne, Dusseldorf, and towns near the Dutch frontier rigorous search is being instituted for defeatist literature, and also for spreaders of “bad reports” in regard to conditions on the Western front. On Saturday, throughout this district,. very alarming reports were current as to “a German Sedan” but the police and sendarmes had instruc- tions to circulate the statement that these reports were brought across by agents of the Entente. Some arrests have taken place. including several at the frontier town of Cleves, but the persons arrested have been released again. 5 Extremely sharp measures are being taken to preyent deserters from cr ing the frontier, the ordinary eentries being doubled and patrols established with doge. Special precautions are also being taken to prevent Dutch workmen from conveving information in regard to the state of public opinion or, more probably, from spreading in formation from the outside. The workmen are practically isolated from the ordinary German population and in places where they still go daily from Dutch frontier towns or villages to work in German factories close by they are hustied to and from the tram- ways at top speed. The report of Hindenburg's death obtained currency some days ago, and the police are stiil seeking for the peo- ple who circulated the report in Ger- many.

The Pester Lloyd of July 7, in a re- port from Vienna on the Austrian har- vest-and crop conditions, saysi— The cold spell at the beginning of June only slightly affected the north- ern districts of Austria, so that south and east of the Alps an early and good harvest was counted on. June, however, was very cool, and the grain ripened 'tardily. Nevertheless it was hoped to begin cutting on Peter and Paul's Day (June 29), but just when the harvest should have begun heavy rains set in and continued without in- termission up to the time when this report was dispatched, and there is little prospect of a speedy improve- ment. The situation is very critical. The grain is soaked through and needs considerable time to dry and be cut; but even then it will hardly acquire the dryness necessary for early mill- ing. The quality has already suffered greatly, and if the weather does not change very quickly great deficiencies in quantity anc quality will result, for the ripe grain has in many places been cuitural and front line by theif officers, Who threatened them withr revolvers.
