DMIRAL FISKE goes a bit far in assuming that few people will dispute his statements that “the ‘Teutons seem to be| ahead” and that “the chances are at least even that when a treaty of peace is signed Germany will be better situated relatively to the rest of Europe than she was before the war.” Plenty of opinion quite as expert as that of Admiral Fiske holds it self-evident that Germany is already defeated by what its mighty, and supposedly irresistible war machine has failed utterly to accoin-| plish. With German strength on the decline and the strength of tho} Allies not yet at its maximum, it is hard to figure wherein Germany's situation shows such definite promise for the day of peace. | Nevertheless, in a corrective way, views like those of Admiral Fiske may be far from hurtful to this nation. If the United States is to make war to any purpose it must be with no idea that Germany is an exhausted foe and that peace is due at any minute. There is still force enough left in Prussianism to do incalculable damage, necessitate the sacrifice of many more millions of human beings and put off indefinitely the possibility of peace. All depenrs upon the rapidity and thoroughness with which Germany can be con vinced that the Prussian game is up. If the United States is to take a hand in the task it must be prepared to work with every ounce of its weight and strength. There could be no greater, no more unpardonable wrong than to wasto American lives and American resources in only half-hearted participation in the conflict, on the theory that the outcome is certain, | no matter how long the slaughter goes on. + If the British nation agrees with Mr. Asquith, woman suf. frage has silently worked out {ts own salvation during the war.

EW YORKERS will not long remain patient under hints that work on the new subways may be held up unless contractors see their way, under changed labor conditions, to assure themselves the profits they expected. A conference of city officials and Public Service Commissioners yesterday was followed by a statement from the Mayor declaring that “there is no question of letting the subway contractors out of their contracts.” Granted the contractors can be compelled, by more or less timo- consuming processes, to finish their work, there seems, nevertheless, reason for the prompt passage of the Lockwood Dill already introduced at Albany which gives the Public Service Commission the right, in case of emergency, itself to proceed with subway construction in such manner as shal] insure its completion, According to the Commission’s own figures, only one-third of the total mileage of the dual subway system is now in operation, By the end of the year, with steady work, nearly three-quarters of the mileage should be in use, he people of New York badly need their new subwa tience under present intolerable conditions of overc rowding is due to assurance that the additional subway facilities are being pushed to completion as fast as is humanly possible. | As long as subway construction remains under the supervision of} the Public Service Commission the public must hold the Commission accountable for the speed and continuity of the work.

NO. 19—JOHN BUNYAN, the “ Jailbird”” Who Won im- mortality. 18 name was John Bunyan, By trade he was a tinker, He had No education, except such as he could pick up in his few spare minutes of idieness. Some people thought him an idiot. Others sneered at him as a faker and mock-religious charlatan, He spent twelve years, off and on, in jail, This was during the seventeenth century, when the inside of a jail was perhaps the most horrible place om earth. Here {s Bunyan’s story: As a young man he fought In the English army during the civil war between King Charles I. and Parliament. At this time and for a long while afterward Bunyan was the victim of a queer form of mania, Though he had always led a saintly life ho was possessed of a dread lest he had committed some mysterious unpardonable sin, whose nature he himself did not know, He feared this sin had condemned him to everlasting punishment. He sald he could see and hear devils swarming all around bis work- bench, tempting him to blasphemy. Even when he began to preach im public he had an almost frresistible temptation to break into profanity tm the midst of his sermon. All this would now be recognized as a form of Insanity, but in those day things were not well understood, After a few yeare Bunyan outgrew it and became a normal, if inspired, man once more. He joined the Baptists, and was so brilliant an@ eloquent that he was soon promoted to the position of lay-preacher. Then his real troubles began, In England at that timo the Episcopal Church (the “Church of Ban land") provided the only form of public worship that was allowed. The members of all other denominations, whether Catholic or Protestant, werg called “nonconformists” and were forbidden by law to hold religio servic Bunyan went on record as saying that most nonconformists were to found In jail and most Church of England folk In saloons, He disregard the law as to nonconformists and he bravely preached the Gospel of Chri to every one who would listen to him. Crowds flocked to hear the great orator who, on week days, was a tinker, Then the police interfered, and John Buigyan was thrown int prison as punishment for his sin in daring to preach when the law forbade, A travelling tinker In seventeenth century England seldom had mu cash lald by, Bunyan had nono at all, and he had a wife and four Hit children, One of these children—his best loved—was blind and an invall Because the family wage-earner was !n jail the wife and bables must thelr bread Imprisoned, penniless, his dear ones reduced to beggary, John Bun: at that time was probably one of the most complete failures in all England. The law offered him liberty if he would promise not to preach again, Hi felt it would be a mortal sin to yield. He refused the offer, declaring: “I have my life work to do.” “Your life work is to mend broken kettles and pans,” he was told, “If you let me out to-day,” retorted Bunyan, “I shall preach to. morrow.” So In Jatt he stayed. He was kept there most of the time for the nex twelve years, for every time they Corr sonce proached his way back agai { The Story i t And it was those immortal, for he twelve prison years that made }, of One Book. whiled away the dreary hours in his cell by scribbling: Crmrrrrry ft religious allegory, At first he did this for amuses | ment, but little by little the idea of the story | him until at last he poured his whole heart and sou ite the take The allewory was all but illiterate, It was misspelled and badly constructed, An editor later had to go over the whole thing and w shape, But its «pirit was sublime, mS Ne eae A change of Government polic finished his allegory and (against laughed at ft or were scandalized) Pilgrim's Progres At once the great book leaped into fame forever hold.
