THE AMERICAN WAY. HE nation is willing to trust the President's judgment as to bow | much time and patience shail precede and follow the trans- ‘mission of his latest note to Germany. | The American mind, however, yearns for clean-cut methods of | Giscussion. It likes frank questions. It relishes prompt, etraight- forward answers, It is not averse to the language of diplomacy. But ft likes to see plain, honest meanings showing through. Just now Americans are keenly anxious for an official reply of thie sort from Berlin. They hope the President has taken their state ef mind into account. Courtesy, by all means—but not patience that meekly awaits Ger- many’s convenience. It is not the American way deliberately te drag @ut cortroversies—nor to permit them to be so treated. re BALKED AGAIN. OINCIDENT with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's an-| nouncement that it can book freight only from one voyage to| A the next, come complaints from Japan of a shortage of British | ships in Japanese ports. | The Japan Weekly Chronicle reports ‘Thousands of tons of cargo awaiting transport owing to so many vessels being taken off the Japan run. American ships ought to move these goods, but how are American | thips to do it? ‘The first effect of Senator Le Follette’s seaman’s law enacted by Congress in the interest of American seamen is to cripple the only American steamship line carrying freight on the Pacific. An extraordinary opportunity for United States shipping—and, @ wsngl, we find ourselves balked by half-baked legislation which euddles American trade so zealously that it kills it. NO WASTE! MONG other reports of German efficiency in the field come _ descriptions of the busy supply and repair centres just back of the German lines. Besides keeping the fighters supplied with ammunition and food, end wounded. The methodical Germans sort these things and take ‘them back to the workshops at the centre. There shattered rifles ata made as good as new, broken wheels restored, uniforms and out- cleaned and repaired. Even worn-out automobile tires are col- d and put through « process that renders the rubber of use in 4 ‘making new tubes. And all this is done in shops not in Germany, but _ Gnly a few miles from the battle front in Northern France. ' War in its most up-to-date, expert form. But as compared with and uninspiring. In place of heroic achievement, efficiency; instead of shining deeds of men, the perfect turnings of military machinery; instead of quick movements and decisive results, an endless stationary | 66 _+ gtinding—obsoure, monotonous, counting its gains in death. FOR HONEST MEASURE. f EW YORK’S campaign for Moncst weights and measures * “mentary history and science of scales and measuring stand- ards. The Bureau of Weights and Measures promises an exhibit of 4 Measure to customers, The Housewives’ League assures us that the use of false weights and measures cost the households of Greater New York $36,000,000 fn the past twelve months. , Th ancient times, in Egypt, Athens and Rome, the standard units of weight and measure were carefully guarded in temples. Conven- _ dent copies were kept in various places in every city. To-day the Jaw does what it can. But the best protection against _ false measure is in the alertness and intelligence of housewives and all who buy.
