PLAYING THE BABY ACT. The Hun if joinc to play the baby net. Watch cm.', for him aa-.l watch out for those around here who are point: to phy the baby act for him. Favorable as the war news is, we do not incline to the belief of a 5 pee iy ending or a sudden coila; so. On the other hand, we think the pessimistic new. from German prisoners, even officers, in the hands o:

the allies saying the war is lost, and Btarvins populace about to uprise, are

like runrnrs of , all stories mad'

In Germany wiih intent to deceive. It is belie able that the army fully realizes that i". cannot win, but we must not be misled by stories thr.' Germany is starving or Is yet at 'he e-r.d of her mar. power. Germany tnd.tr is tryinsr to okr- out wi'lehe fox' skin her lack of The lion's hide. Having lest her war. she is trying to stve hr fact'. She dreads invasion of German soil. The prisoners said Germany would be defended tc the last man. If that did not suffice, an immediate peace must avert an invasion. The Entente Allies would never be able to enter Germany, because the Germans had seen too much of the destruction in France to permit of Germany suffering in a similar manner. Beaten at every point, the kaiser throush purchas able agen's in every allied country will now play 1 hebaby -act try the sympathy game. Caie must be taken to squelch this at the start.

NO CHECK ON SQUANDERERS. "Paying directly from their pockets for the war, individuals may be expected to see that every cent of The money is accounted for,"' writes the Washington correspondent of the Ney York Journal of Commerce in an article stating that the greater rait of the cost of the war is to be raised by taxation. How pray? There isn't any agency of the government which is charred wi'h rbecking up on the vast expenditures of the administration in the conduct of this war. Th ii hriinist ration brought all its power to bear to prevent the creation by congress of a joint commi'tee on the conduct of th-. war, one of the prospective eiu'ies of which was to ebr-f!. ip ar expenditures. The administration has refused to nform congress, and through cor. cress the people, how 'he money squeezed out of them was beine spent. There is no way, under present conditions, to secure this information, and the most powerful po!iical machine ever known in this republic is beinc built tip by the rv-m craMc party under cover of the war. Agencies innumerable are being; established and financed ostensibly to carry out th" war proertm. In many iristances their utility in that direction is questionable, but there is no question of th--dr por-ncy in holding the voters in line for 1920 and tho third term.

THE WAR AND PUBLIC UTILITIES. Public ss r ice corporations, caught in r-.c talc- of : 1.-. lift cc.-;.- o:' labor and maieiiuls, are lacing he-jvy prviih :;. Those in Fori Wayne are no exci-.pt ion, says :he NVw s of that city. The same e-b'ains he-re likewise Ti.e gas company and the street car lines nmst have more revenue from their operations if they are to render the service their charters from the state and their eon tracts vith the city require them to give and ".he- public to expect. Their services to the public must be kept 30. r.g and to do so their e-f 1 iciencles must be maintained, Th-? cost rf ve-rythinc that enters into creation of thr service tin y give has risen enormously. This specially is the fact in resae-et of labor. These tiiiiii'.cs are in competition for labor with industries in many instances created and in other cases prodi.-iou.-ly i'.r.r.'.ated by the war and wage level? have gone- to h U-i.-s wholh without pre-cedi nt in any land in any tiaie. It cannot be a reasonable expectation that r.uV-Iic service concerns shall be in ev.-ry respect under compulsion to meet higher costs of operation end 5-c ie-r.i-.--d all access 10 the offset of groatc-r revenues. The nat-i:al tendency of condi lions that rule and sentiment that prevail is to diminish their normal revenues and hat doubtless is an actual anil demonstrable fact. If some t-ompensat iens for the untoward conditions that so closely r.r.d inexorably hedge them ab ti' are not permit. d they cannot a grea' while surv ive the com-tanrly -.vid'-ninc- discrepancies bet ween income and f.xed charge.-. and oiera'inc coss. The public ought to view this situation with reason and forcsigh'. The utili'ifs that serve them in necessities vittl to the life, trade, industry and advancement ol the cetnnnini'y ar.d are indispensable to domestic com 1 niir.ee and comfort must he considered in respect of he future r.s well as the present. Their s-.tbility must -sstired; their efficiencies k pt unimpaired. These eond-tions can take hostage only from their earnir.es. 1' is not a problem of dividends, but of survival. Cpics must deal fairly by th'-ir uti''ies. We do r."t wan them to go down or even to seffer a serious de-"--riorr.tie-.n. That 'i:i-y cannot remier the service re1 ulred of them upon rates and revenues which sufficed in normal times there needs no a rru men t to show. The sr.uaf ion is one th.if appeals to common sense and to common sense reveals itself readily and clearly.

FULL OF SOUND SENSE. Every day's dispatches bring s'or"s of the -collapse" of German morale, and speculations as to when Gc-rmanv will quit. Pinee our attitude toward these stories and speculations will determine, in considerable measure, our efforts in the war, it will pay to examine thorn in some detail. The first, thing to be noted is that the official bulletins from Paris and London do not bear out the collapse theory at all. On the contrary, those bulletins show the Germans making a very hard fight. The Teutonic resistance lacks the selfish devotion of the French at Verdun and the grim, unreckoning, cornered wolf effectiveness of the old eon'emptiblrs at Ypres or the Canadians

JUGGLING BELCIUM. Chancellor Von Hc-rOmc says now that h" hts been misunderstood, and Germany "does not intend to keen Beu ium in any form whatever." It is natural. 1 erhaps. to misunderstand a man who contradicts himself as often as Vrn Ilertling (i"fs If we assume, however, that his latest out divine was sincere, and thai he win nnt revoke or amend i' before this comme-n r -t? into print, the German nVitude rr-rardm:: Ihh;u:a is plain ep."U::h. b"-rniany is weakf nins in her determination to hold :'.r?iur.i. because she b.-gins 'o joe 'hit rb.o eanno- get away with that particular piece of plunder.
