The present Austro-German "peace offensive" i3 naturally assumed, despite all hypocritical professions, to be meant as the preliminary to that "next war" by whfch the imperial conspirators hope to accomplish what they have failed to accomplish In this one.

These chumpions of a conquered nation .advanced mile after mile, steadily and irresistibly. They smashed the. strongest German defens-s. They beat Germany' bet.

THE KEROSENE SUPPLY. More surprising than the discovery of a gasoline shortage is the announcement of a threatenrT famino in kerosene. Nearly everybody has suppose thaj there was plenty of kerosene In the country, and would continue to be plenty. It is not very lonn :-ince kerosene was reunrded as a drug on the market, a mere byproduct in the production of gasoline, subject to a waning demand. Conditions .com to haves changed. Production ha. lallen off, and at the same timo consumption has iniTe.irod. There aro far more gas engines burning the be i vier oil now instead of gasoline. There is a rapidly growing demand for kerosene ns fuel to save coal and gas. More people than ever before are counting on kvriono stoves for emergency heating this winter. I-,. st as summer is the time of greatest gasoline consumption, winter Is the ?e,ison for kerosene. There will not be nearly enough for our wants the coming winter, says Mark I. Requa, feiern I oil director, unless vtep are taken immediately to provide a greatly inreased supply. It may b necessary, before we get through, to economize in kerosene consumption, too.

CRADLES AND TRENCHES. When'Pr. Josephine Haker, in the course of her propaganda work for tho niing of liO.UuO American babies this year, declare! that "there is thVee times .as much d inger in being a baby in a crowded city aa in being a soldier in France," her statement was challenged. She seems to have proved her point. lier conclusion, she says, was based on otücial figures for French military mortality in the second half of irl". and on New York City's infant mortality reports for 1317. In the half-year of fighting referred to, the total los.-cs of the French army, including missing and priseners as well as killed, wa only a little more than one percent of the men engaged. That period included the great Somme drie, the fall drive of the Germans ! gainst Verdun and other big military operations. The following year the death rate of children under one year of ng In New York ity was s per 1.0 '""; of children between ore and two years, 24. per thousand; two to three year-. Ie.."is x,f.r l.niju; three to four, .6 per 1,00; and four to live, ."."I per 1 . 0 0 The death rate of all children under i';c years of age was nearly SO per 1,0er, rr three percent. This is surely a hvimiiiating comparison so far as our civilian record is concerned. The smaller cities make a so mew-hit better showing, but with rare exceptions their results in t a b y -c o n s e r v a ? b n are as j et nothing to bran about.

cinnr or Tin: oimin of thi: pi:hl Gitin ass. (Fort Wayne Jcumal-Gazette.) Whenever the public wantg to know what John Pierpont Morgan thinks it reads what George Harvey, his vassal, writes in the North American Review and then it knows. Fvery enemy of the profiteer in the realms of Big Business has beep constantly maligned and lied about by this supercilious intellectual snob. Every single one of the great war leaders who have made possible the miracle of our achievements has been persecuted by his poisoned pen. Because Pres't Wilson had too much respect for public opinion to place him in the cabinet, he has assailed the president, directly and indirectly when he was not damning with faint praise.
He it was who first discovered that Daniels is a "nincapoop," a "country editor," and incompetent, a sissy, and the shameful fusillade of misrepresentath es and falsehoods which for a time colored public opinion were of his make. Mr. Daniels was net popular with the element on which the colonel thrives. Mr. Daniels scoHrged the big grafters from his department, saved to the people millions of dollars that were thereby lost to the crooks, and that was In bad taste. Now the public knows and concedes that everything that Harvey wrote about Daniels was a lie. A year and more ago Harvey beean his silly attacks
on Sec'y Baker, following the line laid down in his
assaults on Daniels, and inspired by the same sinister
motives. When Baker promised 500,000 men in France before the year was out, the colonel ridiculed, lambasted, and denounced. Now we have almost 2.000,000 men in
France with the practical certainty that before the year is out we shall have live times the number of soldiers across that Baker promised. Mr. Harvey was as poor a prophet as patriot. When Baker went to Fra nce the first time the colonel wrote that he had served his country by going away. It has since developed that the colonel sometimes writes words of wisdom by mistake. For Baker arranged for the brigading of our troops with those of our allies, and Baker submitted on behalf of the unification of command the document pronounced by Lloyd George the most "remarkable military document of the war." And on the strength of that document we have a unified command. Now Baker is again in France. In his so-called "war weekly," Harvey has something characteristically inane to say upon the subject. Take this; "An unconfirmed rumor comes by grapevine telegraph (probably Mr. Morgan's private wire) that when he was witnessing the beginning of the great American drive at St. Mihiel, one of the very ablest public olficials that the president has ever known began to realize that the war is not r.,0 00 miles away." And in another place: "We must not forget that the great victory at St. Mihiel was won in spite of tho fact that the secretary of war was present. Had he not been there, there is no telling what might have happened." And in another place: "Thank goodness the pacifist secretary of war was three thousand mil's away. We do not say that if he had been here the president would not
have taken the stand he did against the Bridgeport strikers." Such twaddle might have been expected half a century a:ro from some coarse, ignorant editor of the forest, but in the North American Review it is a revelation. Such trashy contributions to the literature of the war are beneath reply. They can only make an impression upon the man who is as great an ass as the. colonel. Ar.d now we have an indication of how the colonel's fuiminations against the war administration of the president is received in army circles in the following letter: "Sir: Sor.ie time ago I wrote asking you for a nmiVt r of copies of the War Weekly to be used on reading tables of our Y. M. C A. buildings at the r.axal training station. You very kindly replied offering to send r.s 11 copies each week and during all these weeks they have been coming regularly. I war.? to thank you for your courtesy and generosity in sending these copies. "At the same time, however. I nm going to ask ycu to discontinue them. My reason I may state (,uite frankly. We have no objection to any paper that dif:ers with the administration politically, but when a paper assumes the attitude toward our government policy that the War Weekly is assuming, especially in a critical time like the present, it seems to me very ui wise for us to put that pal r into the hards of the sailors in Fncle Sam's service; and. therefore, while we appreciate your kmdness we shall not be able to use this paper on our reading tables any longer. Very truly your.-, "J. LF.SLIi: 1jBINGLKR, Educational Secretary."

OF PRESIDENTS UTTERANCE 1
Editor The News-Times: Your editorial anent the latest presidential message to the world was. indeed, timely. It emphatically called attention both to the publicity and the thought that Pres't Wilson's utterances merited, the publicity and thought, or rather the lack of these, that they actually received. Like yourself I deeply deplore that partisanship and indifference should prevent great masses of the American people from becoming intimate
with the workings of the president's J conscience. j
I deplore this all the more in vie?; of the fact that the blessing of Wilson's leadership that otherwise might accrue to the American people are through sheer indifference, sloth, and wilfulness lost. .In the heat of the fight and in our eagerness to win we often appeal to hatred, prejudice, falsehood and ignorance. These dim our visions, dwarf our souls, and becloud the sacred aims for which the blood of thousands of Americans will make the fields of France fertile. Thus blinded we often speak most glibly of revenge ami extermination, and thoughtlessly condone cruelty and inhumanity. Needles to say that thereby we ourselves become Prussianized and Inflict lasting harm upon our nation. But if the American people would commune more frequently and more earnestly with their peerless leader they would never he in danger of wallowing in the gutter of Prussian-

ism. For the president is above the vulgar, the low passions, and the ultimately-self-degrading. Hene)ver appeals to the primitive in us in order to render us fit and willing to make sacrifices. . With firm faith in the power of the noble and the ideal to stir the American people to heroism and self-immolation, he ever
imparts to our purpose a sublime and humanitarian content. For he knows that it is "Righteousness that exalts a nation." And he wishes us to be exalted and not dwarfed. Our president has emphasized this in nearly all of his unexcelled messages. An appreciative nation would have long ago committed thes- to memory and daily recited their quintessence ns a religious creed. They would have done this particularly with his last public utterance. In it our president attains a loftiness of expression, the like of which no other statesman has ever reached. He spurns the old manner in which congrsres of nations made treaties. No professional diplomats says he what the revolutionary thought! but the various peoples through their democratically elected representatives should make their will articulate; not self interest, but impartial justice must permeate international contracts; not retaliation, hut reconciliation with the erstwhile foe. and honest reconstruction for the renefit of nil, should be tho only price of peace. Such thoughts, when carried out, must inevitably usher In a millenial era. The American people will be called upon, nay, is being called upon, to usher hi that era. Why" then should it be held, through indifference and wilfullne, lr ignorance of these epoch making thoughts? In order that all of us here might he intelligently informed with regard to the advanced thoughts of our chosen leader I would suggest that the following steps be taken: 1. Mass meeting should be arranged, at which the president's ideas and Ideals should be classified commented on, and discussed. 2. The last as well as the preeeding and following messages jf our president should be brought before the attention of high school and college students in a manner that will elicit general interest. 3. Ali ministers should be asked to discuss, with deference and re-
cpect, the president's messages from their pulpit. The public in particular should make the spreading of the presieient's visions its sacred task. From it the voice of truth and progress has ever rung out most clearly, and Pres't Wilson's voice is, as the whole globe knows, the peculiar Instrument of truth ami progress. From it the accents of the justice-Intoxicated prophets have ever been reechoed and Pres't Wilson in his passion for justice and humanity deserves a prominent place among the greatest cf prophets. Ar.d witft the public forum, school and pulrit ail united to carry aloft the torch of progress kindled by our president, the light of his new visions will fill the whole earth, bringing good cheer, warmth, and strengt'-, to the people of the new and the old world.
