The European war has destroyed bo much of the steel products that It is certain the demand for it will keep up for years. Europe will need more steel than this country will supply for years. It Is the one product that It cannot easily restore. This fact, tfae financial prophets say, furnishes the hope of this country's prosperity for years to come. This is one of the bright sides to be observed. Ohio State Journal.

NEEDS OF THE POLICE. The establishing of the identity of Frank Burns in Syracuse, X. Y-, as fffce man of that name who escaped prosecution in Lake county after betas oatisht in the act of picking a citizen's pockets, has shown, the need in Hammond of having the police department associated with the International Ptireau of Identification and . equipped to take Bertillon measurements and tfinger print proofs. , .It was through the courtesy of Chief Forbis of Gary, that Chief Austen of Hammond, traced Frank Burns and exploded the official report of tne

latter's death. Insofar as the Gary polioe department is a member of the

International Bureau of Identification and keeips and exchange Bertillon descriptions and records is that force better able to serve the public Chief of Police Austgen is entitled to the same machinery as Chief Forbis

and other beads of metropolitan police departments. Chief Austgen has iemonstrated his enterprise in running to earth the report concerning Frank Bums;.; and whether the case against the latter is ever prosecuted ain or notls an" "unimportant detail a3 the fugitive is safe in another jail. But in making it a poin-t for state officials to exercise greater care before they dismdss cases' out of hand, the Burns story should serve its purpose. Passing the buck to the attorney for the defense will 'hardly suffice for the prosecuting attorney. If the attorney for the defense is not employed to free the what, then, is his function? Patterson should Siave found ou whether Burns' alleged wife was telling the truth. Though reported officially dead Burns was not forgotten by Chief of Police Austgen, who has not been at all satisfied with the prosecution of criminal cases. Peter Austgen is not given to ranting or muck-raking. When conditions are such that he exposes them they are worthy of investigation if aly for ' the ake of the public good. Chief Austgen believes the work of the police is of no avail without the co-operation of the prosecutors office. Only by convictions and sentences can the organized band of pickpockets " that fleeces the public of Lake county spring, summer and fall be driven away. Thanks to Officer Piatt and other Crown Point officials the Burke case accomplished a great deal of good in implanting a wholesome respect in the hearts of the Chicago dips for Lake county law enforcement. But a ft-w more instances of the Frank Burns order will offset that one. The citizens of Hammond can thank Chief Austgen for his vigilance.

LANSING'S FAUX PAS. " President Wilson throughout his administration seems to have been rather unfortunate In having cabinet' officers who say the wrong thing, at the wrong time." Different members of the cabinet have bobbed ttp now and anon with remarks that appear to be hasty and ill-advised. Even so well-balanced an aide as Lansing yesterday opened his mouth and put his foot in it when he commented on the Wilson peace message. As Mr. Lanng very seldom talks for publication it was natually concluded that his lemarks were to the point and official. As his statement that the United states was brought to the "verge of. war-' seemed pregnant with meaning, stocks began to take a rapid tumble and millions of dollars in values were wiped out. It was the worst panic for the United States .in fifteen years. To thre (amazement of the people Lansing late in the afternoon issued a supplementary statement. The official copy of Secretary Lansing's second statement said: "I have learned from several quarters that a wrong impression was conveyed by the statement which I made this morning and I wish to correct that impression." This second statement was made, Lansing said, because his first had been subjected to various constructions "he had not meant to convey." Then the secretary f state goes on to say further that he regrets ma words were open to any other construction. He admits they were. . He issued ki3 supplementary statement after a visit to President Wilson at the White House, where we can imagine Lansing had a very unpleasant hour with his superior officer, or boss, which ever way you want to put it. Reporters, who know how hesitant big men of affairs are in commenting on any m-atter fraught with vital bearing on any public question, stand aghast at Mr. Lansing's faux pas. It doesn't seem necessary for him to have ypoken in the first place. and that he should have spoken hastily and without solemn pause as to what he really did intejid to say is remarkably unfortunate. Indeed, the gifted premier seems to have been almost as indiscreet as it is possible for him to have been. W. J. Bryan never made a bigger blunder. ' , , Poor Mr. Wilson. He is in almost as bad a predicament with hat-talker3 as a dog is with fleas, and he simply has to. turn around and scratch himself just so often.
