AUSTRIA -
The action of congress In declar
ing that state of war exils be
tween this country and Anuria,
which is expected within the n'e.a
few days. Is simply p"tilng into the
realm of acknowledged fact itiintf
which is a reality. Presider.l Wil
son's recommendation to this effe'l
was merely the giving voice to a
pretty Insistent demand that has
arisen during the past few months.
Especially has this demand come
from officials in the department of
justice where their work of trying
to round up enemies within our own
borders has been seriously hamper
ed by the fact that we could not treat
Austrian as enemies.
To be fighting Germany and tech
nically at peace with Austria has
been an anomalous position which
even the laymen of the country hare
recognized.
But aside from the Justice of rucu
declaration, on the ground that
Aostrlans were helping the Germans
In their scheme of world domination
to the limit- of their ability. Is the
fact that It was Austria' who started
all the trouble. The greed of the
louse of Hapsbnrg, urged on, It Is
true, by Germany, led the to
undertake to dominate the Balkans
even to the extent of looking for an
excuse to invade Cervia and wreck
that inoffensive people. The spirit
of the Austria natloi In that course
was none the less damnable than
the spirit which has characterized
the rulers of Germany. That spirit
must be crushed before democracies
are safe In this world. And it is to
sake those Diinciples safe that Am
ericans are making war.
ECONOMY
When we put a million or more
soldiers in the field, we decrease the
ordinary productiveness of the coun-1
tryto a decidedly appreciable extent.
While In the army or in training,
theee men do not produce. On the
contrary, an army consumes an im
mense amount of produce, especially
when on the fighting line. There Is
hardly a more expensive organlza
nf earth thsn n army In the
field.
America Is the one remaining
great storehouse of supplies; and the
one country where the possibilities
of increasing output Is very large.
It has become a most important pa
triotic duty to draw as little on these
wtores for domestic consumption as
we possibly can. The more we les-

HALIFAX LOSS GROWS HER
(Continued from page 1.)
The disaster which has pinned
the dominion into mourning probab
ly will rank as the most fearful that
ever occurred on the American con
tinent.
Residents of Halifax and thous
ands of volunteer relief workers who
have come into the city have been
almost dazed at the extent of the,
horror.
Temporary morgues have been es
tablished in many buildings to which
a steady procession of vehicles of all
kinds have been carrying 'tr hours
the bodies of men, women and chil
dren. .Most of them were so charred
that they were unrecognizable.
The,flameiswept area covers two
and one half square miles. It 'hIiih
at what la known as the North street
bridge, extending. north to Pier 8 rn
the Richmond water front and back
to a point running parallel with Got-
tinner street. Nothing has been left
standing In this section of the city
Only a pile of smouldering ruins
marks the spot where the great
building of the American Sugar Re
fining company stood. The dry dock
and all the buildings around it were
destroyed. The Richmond school
that housed hundreds of children
was demolished and it is reported
only three escaped.
Canadian officers who have seen
long service In France characterize
the catastrophe as "the most fearful
which has befallen any city in the
world."
