TRUSTING THE PEOPLE. There were plenty of persons who said, last year, that the American "people would not limit their food consumption voluntarily, and would not increase food production except for big profit. The food administration took a different view. Its efforts were based on faith in the average American. Present facts show how that faith was merited. Without rationing, and virtually without compulsion, as a result of appeals to their patriotism and humanity, the American people have saved enough wheat to supply our hungry allies with 140,000,000 bushels out of a crop that barely sufflced for our normal needs. They have likewise economized on pork until our' European friends have what they need, and we have a billion-pound surplus accumulated. They have economized on beef until they mads it possible to send the allies from 50 to 75 times as much as we used to Bend them. They have economized on sugar so faithfully that they are saving 400,000ton3 a year for expert. The farmers, instead of refusing to grow wheat without a government bonus in the form of higher prices, and in spite of discouraging labor conditions, have raised a crop bigger than any in our history except one. It should be noted, too, that they have increased oar stock of cattle, sheep and hogs, despite the abnormal demand. Food consumers and food producers alike have acted in the same spirit that animates the 4,000 representatives of the food administration who are giving their services for nothing and. paying their own ex penses. It is always safe to trust the American people. In fact, that is the only safe way of dealing with them. "We are succeeding better with voluntary food regulation than Germany Is with her compulsory rationing.
WE would like to suggest a punishment for Bill Hohenzollern and at least submit it for the approval of the world: Dress him in nothing but a pair of war paper pants and make him count ties on the Berlin-to-Bagdad railroad and back, begging handouts along tha W3y.
OUR VIEW IS SECONDED. The Chicago Evening Post'is also inclined to the belief of this newspaper that the news from Germany is disturbingly plentiful According to the Leipziger Volks Zeitung the socalled German revolution was "manufactured to obtain better peace term3." We have entertained that notion for a long time and voiced the suspicions again last night. The indications are plentiful that the new German government is not what it professes to be. The Post thinks that there are the informality of the kaiser's abdication; the presence of men like Solf and Ebert in the leadership of the government; the influential place held by Matthias Erzberger, a clerical reactionary; the love and admiration expressed for von Hindenburg, who continues in charge of the army; the docility of the workmen's and soldiers'-councils all signs that the people are etill obedient to authority of a type not far removed from that which txisted before the armistice was signed, and that the policies of the alleged republic are being directed by men who have not mer
ited the confidence of the world.
While; it is undoubtedly true that the old Prussian' won the war, declares Mr. Sinionds
INADVISABLE TO SAY THE LEAST. ,7he New York Times had heard last Monday that Mr. Wilson was considering the trip to Paris, and in this strain commented on the venture: "Great a3 the occasion will be, it does not seem to us that the peace conference will call for tho attend ance of the president of the United States. He is exnpptPd tn KPnd rlfleeates. not to co himself. However
frequently it may be pointed out, here and abroad, that ; he is our prime minister, he is much more than that. In ; fact and in title he is the actual bead of the state. There j
will be no member of that conference whom, in lormai communications of amity and Rood will, he would address as 'great and good friend.' The people of the United States wfll not be able to dismiss from their minds the feeling that there would be something of unseemliness in his taking part in a council where questions will be argued, positions be attacked and defended, differences of view 'thrashed out,' as the saying goes. That is the function of delegates speaking as representatives of their governments. We are accustomed to feel that when the president speaks he speaks with authority. It is not quite the thing that he should engage in argument, much less in such controversies as will naturally arise in the discussion by the conference of the multitude of questions it must decide. If the president is not to take rart in the deliberations, but is to attend as a distinguished visitor, the country wou!d feel that it is not worth w hile. It is probable that the .president will incline to that view." We wonder what the Times willvsay now that Mr Wilson has announced his going? THE EVENT THAT WHIPPED GERMANY. Amazing revelations about the Great War will continue to crop out for years and there could be none more amazing than the confession by Captain Persius, the noted German naval critic, that the British won the battle of Jutland in the Skagerak. Outside of the German empire the world knew that Britannia had won the colossal victory. Germany denied it. Now she admits that she lied. Frank H. Simonds, the war expert in the New York Tribune, says that it is to the wars of Rome and Carthage that one must turn for a parallel for the gigantic surrenders which today destroy German hopes of wresting the control of the seas from Great Britain. After Zama the Carthagenian state accepted a peace by which all its battle fleet, save ten galleys, was surrendered to the Romans. So perished the last serious challenge by any organized 6tate to Roman world supremacy for many centuries. It is much less than a generation since the kaiser Issued his challenge to the British In that historic speech in which he declared that the future of Germany was upon the seas. And from that hour almost to the present German naval officers have drunk to "the day" when British mastery of the ocean should be destroyed, and it is less than two years and a half ago that the kaiser, visiting his battle fleet after Jutland, arrogantly and mendaciously proclaimed that the goal hd been attained; the decision of Trafalgar wiped out. We see now how foolish was that claim. Ignorant still of the comparative losses of the battle of Jutland, we know that from that hour onward the German fleet never again risked battle with the great enemy. More than thi3, when all was lost on land, we are informed that the sailors of the battle fleet mutinied rather than obey orders to follow the example of Ceryera at Santiago and go out to certain destruction rather than surrender ignominously. When, on August 1. 13t4, the British battle fleet, already mobilized, moved to its battle station the war at sea was lost to Germany. 'Within a few months the last of the German ships at sea had been sunk or forced to intern. The German flag had disapepared from the ocean. The British navy had taken Germany by he throat and would hold her until allied armies could be organized and could perform their task. Here is an ultimate demonstration of the real power of Britain. Her fleet has saved thfe war, her fleet has
