SAILING TRUE.

President Wilson, despite the stress of the past two weeks, has let it be known that he still stands for peace and that he considers his greatest duty to his people Just now is to keep them out of war. The president can feel that this sentiment is nearly unanimous, aside from a few political meddlers who are seeking to embarrass him by demanding American sympathy for this side or that. Every Incident that has evoked diplomatic notes, it seems now, will be adjusted without menace to the national peace. The safeguarding of Arrierican property is, of course, the duty of the American government, and the people approve the stand of President Wilson against the British assumption of high sea dictatorship and against the German claim of justification in the destruction of the Frye. But the nation is much imore deeply interested in the protection of American lives and the curbing of new and unusual methods of warfare which imperil the peaceful citizens of neutral nations.

In the Frye matter the only difference is as to method of procedure. The United States demands payment for the ship, and Germany cheerfully assents to the American demand. But Germany claims that while the PrussoAmerlcan treaty binds here to pay damages it does not indicate that the destruction of a vessel carrying a contraband cargo was unjustifiable. Germany therefore insists on making payment through prize court methods. The United States, on the other hand, holds that the sinking was unjustifiable under the treaty, and demands payment through direct diplomatic negotiation.

As far as the owners of the Frye are concerned it may be assumed that they take little interest in the controversy.

Meanwhile Germany, while not receding from her forfner position, volunteers to leave the adjudication of damages to a Joint commission. The suggestion seems to be altogether fair, y^ith so many more important matters for diplomatic discussion the United States government would be glad to get the Frye case out of the way, and it is likely that a compromise will soon be reached.

WHY MILKMEN GO MAD.

In a letter to the Tribune, signed "Milkman," a protest Is made against the wholesale raids made on milk bottles along about this time of year to augment the housewives' array of catsup and jam jars. "Milkman" adds "of ccfarse we can't prosecute them. I wish to appeal to them through the Tribune."

The matter is one which has recently received the attention of Uncle Sam's experts, and they are seeking to induce people and milk dealers to readjust notions prevailing in the milk business.

In surveys made by the department of agriculture figures were obtained on the relative number of quart and pint 'milk bottles handled by dealers in five cities. It takes considerably longer to wash and fill two pint bottles than one quart bottle, and it costs nearly as jpuch to deliver a pint as a quart. Many dealers say they are making no money son milk handled in pints, and some oven claim that they are handling it at a loss. One dealer, who handles quarts only, says: "It would take the profit from one quart of milk to make up for the loss on one pint," therefore he does not see where handling it in pints would increase his sales. Yet the figures obtained as a result of the survey show that a surprisingly large number of pints are handled by some dealers.

Besides the extra cost of handling the milk in pint bottles is the extra expense of replacing lost bottles. The life of a pint bottle is generally given as somewhat shorter than that of a

quart bottle. This is no doubt owing to the fact that a large number of pints are handled by stores. On account of its convenient size there is also more temptation for customers to appropriate a pint bottle for preserving vegetables or fruits, or for any other purpose. Although in most places this is contrary to law, yet it is often done without any feeling of guilt on the part of the housewife.

CALL IT A DRAW?

One of the magazines this month contains an article from the pen of "An American Military Expert" whoso identity is withheld for the reason that such discussion of the war is not encouraged by the war department, and for very good reason. He sets out that the war will end in a "draw" and gives his reasons. To the rear of both lines along the French and Belgian battle fronts are defenses and battlements presenting what military ox perts are beginning to regard as in surmountable defenses to an attacking force. Very largely these defenses consist of concrete and steel subterranean works, heavily armored and casemated. Woven back and forth are thousands of miles of heavy barbed wire, some of which, at least, is electrified. Flanking the defenses, barring the path of advancing troops, are thou sands of high powered guns, rapid flrers and mortars. The infantry, sta tioned in the trenches, abundantly provided with rifles and hand grenades 1b further protected by heavy firing masked batteries. Military experts agree also that any advance must be made by a frontal attack.

With a detailed knowledge of these conditions at hand the experts have arrived at what they believe to be an accurate estimate of the cost entailed by any concerted and sustained drive along the western front. While admitting the possibility of Important advances it can only be done at a cost to the attacking foroe of 25 to Truly staggering when it is remembered that these are figures covering the cost In human lives. It means that for every 100,000 men behind the defenses who are killed, or withdrawn from the conflict because of injuries, the attacking force muBt be prepared to lost 2,500,000 man in killed and wounded.

Hence his conviction that the struggle along the western front may end in a deadlock. Time, however, may demonstrate that one or the other of the contending forces cannot stand the enormous strain in resources of all kinds involved in maintaining present positions. "Victory may comfe through a tedious process of wearing down resources to the breaking point.-

In that event the world will be well spared the sickening spectacle of human slaughter on an unprecedented scale.

Ralston Names October 1

Disease Prevention Day

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 7.—Governor Samuel M. Ralston has issued a proclamation designating Friday, Oct. 1, as disease prevention day. The governor says: "The unanimity with which the first official proclamation for disease prevention day, that of last year, was received by the general public, the public schools, the medical profession and the sanitary scientists and ^ilanthropists, is of itself a sufficient warrant for issuing a second one in 1&15. "The time was ripe for such an appeal on behalf of the public health. The work of voicing and giving practical direction to an already aroused public opinion, so auspiciously started and so greatly stimulated by that movement, was too valuable to be lost or neutralized by any neglect or relaxation of interest and effort at this time. Good health is always a paramount issue. It means sane mindsi, as well as sound bodies Self poise to the individual and safety to the state. In its last analysis it is the sheet anchor of a true and normal civilization. "I respectfully urge that such exercises be given in the public schools and such action be taken by the various municipalities and civic and other organizations in Indiana, as will emphasize the importance of public health and the importance of public healthand the Joint responsibility of all citizens therefor, and will inspire in every on© a desire to meet that responsibility by an active co-operation In all sane efforts for the prevention of physical disease."
