The army arjd navy ha had several pay days. Shiny American gold pieces have rapidly found their way into bairn tills in exchange for French coin of the realm and the latter has been lavishly distributed in typical American fashion. The French poilu looks with envy on his American fellow-fig hter. The pollu receive four cents a day for being: a poilu. The British Tommy gets 24 cems a day. The American soldier gets about 70 cents a day. And he spends It. Farla newspapers never cease to wonder at the spending American fiphters. One told how common ordinary stokers off one of Uncle Sam's battleships came to Paris and cashed big letters of credit at Paris banks. Another detailed how

Theatre ticket offices sell hlrh priced seats to American fighters without a murmur. Restaurant waiters are not surprised when they are told "just keep the change." So marked has been the American monoy spending menace that the army and navy T. M. C. A. which is a self-appointed guardian over our fighters" pocketbook and morals, has placarded the

RESPONSIBILITY OF AUTOMOBILE PASSENGERS. Tragedy as far as deaths of persons in motor vehicles caught on railroad crossings has become commonplace in the columns of THE TIMES On Monday so many lines of type recorded the grinding out of four more lives of those in a machine that sought to occupy the Pennsylvania railroad crossing at Dyer the same time an express train did and Chicago automobiles and their passengers figure so often and so prominently in the records of the coroner of thi county. The slaughter of seven in an automobile on the B. & O. crossing at Miller, the killing of four on the crossing of the same railroad at Roby, the death of two Gary firemen on the Michigan Central crossing, or the shocking killing last month of a Chicago girl en route with her intended bridegroom to be married another case of tha railroad and the automobilesseem to teach no lessons. Perhaps the subjoined editorial from the Railway Age Gazette along this line i3 about as applicable here as it Is anywhere in America: "The automobilist who risks his life on a railroad crossing without looking out for trains- like the tramp who steals a rida on the 'blind baggage' and is crushed between the cars when a wreck occurs forfeits everybody's sympathy by the veny patent recklessness of his course. To avoid the danger is so obvipusly thepimple and rational course thit there are no two ways of looking at the question though cunning lawyers do contrive to get it before the courts frequently. But the reckless automobilist often, perhaps usually, risks others' lives besides his own; so that the problem of preventing the horrible crossing slaughters, which are now so frequently reported, Is far from simple. The Nebraska Supreme court, In a decision reported in the Railway Age Gazette, August 31, page 40. declares that persons riding in an automobile and knowing of t?ie existence of danger on approaching a railroad, have a duty to warn the driver; or, at least, to do whatever is possible to save themselves. Neglecting this, they have no claim on the railroad. And no one, thinking what he himself would do. in such a situation If he realized Its true gravity, will dispute the logic of the court. This is a phase of the matter on which railroad safety specialists, in the very commendable missionary circulars and lectures by which they endeavor to recall highway travelers to their senses, may well lay emphasis. This ignorance or thoughtlessness is particularly pathetic when all or most of the victims of their own unwise trust in a driver are young and innocent children, as was the case at Saybrook Junction, Conn. August 20. And the lesson har . a wide application. Near Perryman, Md., August SO, seven farm laborers, riding to their work on a wagon drawn by mules were killed on a crossing. The party approached the railroad through a cut five feet deep with tali corn growing in the adjacent field, so that, in the words of the dispatch, 'their vision was obscured." Like

JUST as Abe Martin says, more dogs than widows have died of grief. IT appears that this week is one of the seven-day periods that the Gary Tribune is with Mr. Gleason.

THIS is a great neighborhood. If a man speeds he is likely to get $lu and costs; if his speeding auto kills some one he doesn't get fined at all.

NO, thank you, Wall street's political halter is not around our neck and we are not feeding from its contracting trough. We don't belong to the hypocritical "committee of fifteen."

AS far as sinking Mr. Gleason on the park presidency was concerned, the opposite faction seemed to have had the Gary Tribune fire one of those torpedoes of the "spurlos versenkt" order.

OH, dear! News is so quiet in Englaud that the Saturday Westmin-1 ister Gazette is running a contest and printing essays demonstrating "the ' alleged impossibility of being in two places at once." I

SWITZERLAND suppresses newspaper that insults the president of the United States. It seems that it is only in this country that the Zeitungs, Elatts and Abend Posts can do this thing and get by with it.
