Denaocratic tariff law. That year also witnessed the beginning of the Eu¬ ropean war, with the unexampled buslneaa tnrbich it brought ua. Tbe war has continued a controlling force in American commercial development. The Demtxrratlc tariff, perforce, tias been set aside But it Is still on the statute books, ahd when the war Is over there will be more years for the Steel Corporation like 191-1 unless tbe law Is changed. And not for the Steel Corporation only, but for all American Industries.
The ovei-subscription of the great Liberty loan is gratifying but not un¬ expected. The greatest cause for grat¬ ification lies not so much in the amount by which it was over-sub¬ scribed as in the number of people of modest means, people not in the habit of buying bonds, who respond¬ ed to the call of their country by Bub- scribing ?')(• to |100. 'The Liberty loan is a popular loan in the fullest .^ense of the word.

The registration of Jiiftv iiOft ,,shows a total of 11.2.50,000 hion, a number somewhat below tho census estimate. The registra¬ tion ,of Now York ^State is llCfi of the oimsiis estimate.

It certainly looks as though the I'nit¬ ed Stales is at war with Germany, the Kaiser to tho contrary notwithstand¬ ing.

Maybe the Kaiser's remark that he is not at war with the United States is based upon the fact that he has not yet dropped any Zeppelin bombs in the crowded districts on New York Citv. Bomb droiiping in tho streets of peaceful cilies appears to figure large¬ ly in his ideas of war

Few nobler tributes to gallantry have boon paid than that contained in George Clenienceau's open letter I/O , President Wilson, appearing J|n L'Homme Fnchaine, asking Mr. Wil¬ son to send Roosevelt and his com¬ rades to Franofc'. "Allovr lue to say," writes M. Cl^meiicoaii, "in all candor that at the present moment there is in Franci! one name which enlninces the beauty of American intervention- It is the name of Roosevelt, your pre¬ decessor, even your rival, but with whom there can now be no other ri¬ valry than that of heartening suc¬ cess."
The writer' of this letter declares that he met Roosevelt only once In his life; that the former President is an idealist, "imbued witli simple, vital idealism. Hence his influence on a crowd; his prestige, to use the right expression. * * * If the law has charged you, the President, with all the practical issues of the undertak¬ ing, it i.s no less true that Roosevelt represents a vast potential factor which no .statesman is able to over¬ look. ¦* * I only claim for Roosevoll what ho claims for himself —the right to appear on the battle¬ field surroiiiulod by his comrades."
Clemencoau writes that tho arrival of tho first American unit on the French front was hailed with delight, hut thai many of the poilus asked. "But where is Roosevelt? I don't see him, " Roo.sevelt, Monsior. is marking time waiting for his country's call. Apparently he is the victim of the

The tremendous recent earnings of the Steel Corporation and Its present well nigh imprognablo financial posi¬ tion should not be permitted to wink out of sight the fact that the Corpora¬ tion's poorest year was 1914—when it failed to earn even a full dividend for its preferred slock, with nothing at all for the common. That year, it will be remembered, witnessed the c.impletion of a twelve-month of the
ed at Washingion as attesting the ef¬ ficiency of the electric drive. .Now if the electric drive could only bo suc¬ cessfully applied to some of the hu¬ man units in war and naval circles al Washington!

I Considerable opposition is being 1 mot with in Congress lo the appoitit- ' ment of army oflicors with tho ranks of general and lieutenant general. It is high time such picayune ideas were brushed aside.
