the detention of the men in transit for
seven days on end. There is hardly any
journey in the country which needs so
mucth time even for trains of moderate
speed. The failure either to have trans
ports ready or to make arrangements
for camping at the terminal point is up
to the war department. Some failure
in co-ordinatipn is clearly indicated.
We urge a rigid inquiry not in any
captious spirit of fault finding, but with
a view to instant and radical reform.

Hardship to Troops on the RaiL
Currency is beinar iriven to a story
that troops being moved from the in
terior to the seaboard en route for Eu
rope are subjected to considerable hard
ship through negligence or bad manage
ment on the part of the war department
or the railroads, or both. According to
published version the men have been
cooped up on trains, bound for some un
specified coast city, as long as seven days
without opportunity for exercise or re
laxation. Only day coaches and tourist
cars have been provided, so that they
have been deprived of refreshing sleep;
their food has been limited to travel ra
tions, against which the stomach revolts
after a week or so; ice water has not
been supplied. Upon arrival at their
destination there was some hitch, so
that the men were held in the cars on a
siding for three days more without re
lief from the unhealthy and wearing con
ditions of their journey.
If all the things alleged are literally
true they would seem like a bad be
ginning in the departmental handling of
the soldiers. 1'erhans there is some ex
aggeration in detail, but it is to be
feared that there is considerable founda
tion for the complaints made. Perhaps
the degree of hardship was not specially
great; but the public will not easily see
the need for any hardship at all when
the number of men under arms and in
motion is relatively trifling and the
problem of their transportation ought
not to be supremely difficult. The ques
tion naturally suggests itself as to what
will happen when a million or so of men
are mobilized.
The incident calls for searching in
vestigation and radical cure of whatever
has gone wrong. The railroads will no
doubt plead shortage of rolling stock due
to lack of money. Very likely the de
fense is jfood, but it does not explain the

Hindenburg's Answer.
Of course Hindenburga answer to ths
British victory at Messines ridge might
have been foreseen. He sent fifteen air
planes over the tenement district of
London to kill and wound more than 500
non-combatants. One of them bombard
ed a schoolhouse and struck down sixty
children. Hindenburg had announced to
the kaiser that "the great British and
French .spring offenfiive has come to a
certain conclusion," and five days later
the British captured Messines ridge. It
was urgentlyVnecessary to win a great
counter-victory to restore the credit of
Hindenburfr's word and of the German
arms, so the great battle of the tenement
district schoolhouse was ordered and
fought.
The kaiser was misled by Hindenburg
into premature rejoicings over the Brit
ish defeat. The words he used were'
inapplicable to the situation on the
western frout, made inapplicable by Mes
sines ridge. Now, however, Hindenburg
has supplied the kaiser with a situation
to which they are applicable. New York
