In the first place tho Allies have never had any considerable superiority In the field. From first to last they have mobilized far more men, but they never had their full strength in tho war at a given time. The Central Powers have had almost their whole tight Ing strength mobilized since tho war began. Germany had a clear superiority in tho west tho first year of the war. Until Italy came In Austria-Hungary helped greatly in overcoming tho Russian superiority In the east.

By the time Italy entered the field Russia had been practically beaten. This automatically released both Germans and Austrians in the oast. The defeat of Serbia and the entrance of Bulgaria further redressed the balance during the period when tho British forces were being gathered together. It was not until 1017 that the Allies were on an equal footing with tho Teutons in the west, but when that time arrived Russia, Serbia and Rumania were out of tho war. British numbers, while they increased steadily, were reduced at a rapid rate because of the way in which they were thrown into the struggle as fast as assembled.

Britain had lost approximately a million men before her armies in the field totaled 2,000,000, and by then Germany had disposed of Russia and the Balkan Allies. The Teutons had a clear superiority money plenty or money ior youri Christmas dinner, better part of valor Discretion is the No genuine pan-German wants to jump into the tire of anarchy. Ho would far rather play the waiting game till he is done to a turn. I It Isn't a bit wonderful that Taft is satisfied to have Wilson go out of the country. Perhaps he wouldn't be sud If TJnnsnvelt should po also.

His mem- ories of 1012 are somewhat mixed. Washington correspondents are already nominating Lodge for Republican candidate in 1D20. Nothing more serious than ability, dignity and conservatism prohibits consideration of his name. INDEMNITIES AND PUNISHMENT. In his Newcastle speech Mr.

Lloyd-George once more lays down the principle that the German people must be made to pay for the damage done to Europe by the Government that represented thorn during the war. Also, he insists that the Kaiser and those high In authority in Germany must be tried before an international court and punished for their crimes. "The price of victory," he says, "ls not vengeance nor retribution. It ls prevention." When the German people are compelled to pay for the damage done by German armies, when they are compelled to re turn the fines levied upon Belgian and French cities, they are treated In a spirit of justice and not in a spirit of hatred or vindictiveness. The German people cheered and encouraged Kaiserism and militarism in all of their ruffianly and tyrannous manifestations.

So long as German arms won victories on land, so long as German underseas assassins sank ships and murdered helpless human beings the German people were content with tho Hohenzollern system and all that it had begotten in the form and semblance of government. They eagerly held out their hands for the fruits of its triumphs. They must now accept the consequences of its defeat and overthrow. They cannot leave Belgium and France to pay the bill for the destruction accomplished in their name. As for the trial and punishment of Individual criminals from the Kaiser down, that is something with which the Peace Conference will be compelled to deal." The demand for justice in these cases is universal and insistent.

But if justice is to be done upon those who were in high places, It should also reach out for those in lesser station. It should make an example of some of the minor officers who on land and sea were guilty of atrocities blacker than any that ever before disgraced a belligerent nation. The French, the British and the Belgians know the names of many of these scoundrels. Their surrender by Germany can be obtained at the Peace Conference. Their trial and punishment would greatly contribute toward securing that prevention which tho British Premier declares to be the price of victory.

WHY A CURFEW LAW? Aren't we going just a little bit too far in the matter of paternal government? The other day our Aldermen adopted, by a vote of fifty-seven to seven, a "curfew" ordinance, under which anv child under sixteen, found on the street without adult guardianship after 9 o'clock in the winter and 10 o'clock in summer, is liable to bo arrested and taken to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, to be detained until tbe parents call for their child. The significant thing about the ordinance is that it was voted by the Aldermen, who are supposed to guard the rights of the plain people with acute jealousy. It is the plain people whom this ordinance will hit hardest. Some of the children of the poor go to night school. Some of them are out after o'clock on errands which their parents need to have done and for which the children are the only available agents.

At 10 o'clock on many summer nights the sleeping quarters of many poor are unbearable from the heat. Is it possible that the Aldermen wish to subject to arrest children out after their prescribed hours for any of these good reasons? vDo they believe that in this town vice recruits so voraciously from among children under sixteen that such an ordinance ls needed for their safety? We suspect that they do not believe anything of the kind, but that they wished to provide some sort of a remedy fur occasional ami exceptional cases, and that a general curfew law was the only thing that they could think of. Probably almost every Alderman who voted for the ordinance experts policemen to enforce it "with to leave alone those chil- dreii who have legitimate reason for bring out and lo take into custodv the I boys or girls whom they suspect of I looking for evil company. Even grant-I ing that the policemen apply the law in 1 i SUNDAY MORNING, PEC. 1.

COMMUTATION FOR CHAPMAN. Governor Whitman lias used a wise discretion in commuting the sentence of Taul Chapman to imprisonment for Hf There Ls a considerable sentiment against the death penalty and a still wider feeling against taking the life of a youth like Chapman.

Tho sentiment of both classes of objectors ls met by the Governor's action and yet an adequate punishment has been found for a boy duly convicted of murder after a full and fair trial. The only objection to the action will come from sentimentalists who wanted Chapman sent to a reformatory until he should reach twenty-one and then released. The danger from such a course would have been great, both to Chapman and to the community, through the weakening of the belief in the certainty of punishment which Is the chief restraint upon crime. That danger has been avoided and the law will now mete out the punishment to an offender whose guilt has been clearly established. The ends of justice have been met and that should make an end of a case In which inhered considerable possibilities of mischief through appeals to sympathy based upon the youth of the criminal.

THE CIRL WITH A PAINTED FACE. One of the perplexing minor problems, of taste If not of morals, In these perplexing days is the girl who goes upon the street with her face painted. Tho problem is rather new. A few years ago the woman with an obviously artificial complexion was a problem to nobody and the only person who had any occasion to deal with her in the name of society was tho policeman. But the electric lighting of public places, combined with a growing freedom from restraint among women, has extended the habit of painting their faces to thousands of women who are virtuous, self-respecting, hard-working and self-supporting.

It has got so that a painted face among our women is no more a badge of professional immorality than it was among our American Indians. But as the old sign also persists for the old, old trade, mistakes arise which are often unfortunate. In some communities they are so unfortunate as to be thought to justify official interference, although few cities have gone so far as has Newark in this direction. In Newark a police inspector has ordered the policewomen under hira to arm themselves with washcloths, to frequent the most crowded section of the city and when they see girls with painted faces to scrub them clean. That remedy is altogether too drastic and if the policewomen obey orders there will be something like a feminine riot in Newark inside of a week.

But if the threat should make the girls of Newark nnd those of New York as well think what they are doing when they adorn themselves with face paint it will have a good effect. A girl's complexion is as much her own business as her hat, but many a girl who would not be caught wearing "a fright of a hat" puts a fright of a face according to the standards of half the people she will meet under a becoming hat, and sallies forth, believing that she is well dressed. It is a question of taste rather than a question of morals in most cases, but girls should realize that in this matter discretion is the better part of valor. A good complexion is a very great beauty, but anybody can buy a good complexion who lias the price, so the complexion which is obviously purchased does not count. The girl who is not content to rely on nature should at least learn to imitate her with some show of skill.

THE COST OF THE WAR IN MEN. Before long it. should be possible to get a fair estimate of the actual losses 1-y all belligerents in the war. No of-ticial figures are available in many countries, but those being given out closely approximate the estimates that have been made from time to time by students of the war. Vorwaerts of Berlin stated on November 20 that the total German losses were (J.r,.'!0.0O0.

Austria-Hungary's losses have recently been placed at 4.000.000. Bulgaria's lo-scs have been given as 200.000. What the war lias cost Turkey may never be known, but a million men is not ii excessive estimate, considering I lie ravages of disease that did so much lo weaken the Turkish forces. Against this estimated total of in killed, wounded and prisoners for the Central League, we have oMieial announcements that British lo ses have been 3.010.001 from uli causes, including disease, and that the American total has been 2H2.72". Franco has made no official report on isualtics during the war, but her matcly lll.OOO.OOO.

It. cannot be claimed that these figures are accurate, hut they do represent roughly the total cost of the war in blood. They show that, the Allies have home much the heavier losses In their struggle against barbarism. On their face they indicate that the Allies, with an enormous superiority in manpower, actually lost n.OOO.OOO more men than the Central Powers In winning their victory. There are many things Pin effectives because of the fact that the Allies fought in relays.

The Central Empires enjoyed all the advantages of position, which made it possible to make better use of their armies, and by defeating Russia, Serbia, Montenegro and Rumania in sequence they kept their superiority until America entered the war. By that time Teutonic man power had passed its zenith, for Its losses could no longer be made good, while tho Allies were able for the first time since Russia left the field to replace their own losses. ARE WE BECOMING THRIFTY? This for the information of those who have supposed that the cost of living has lyen winning the race with the rise in rates of pay: Since October, 1014, there has been an average increase of 81 per cent, in weekly wages. In this period there has been an in crease of but 71 per cent, in the retail prices of food. The results thus recorded are for this Commonwealth, but the factors operating here are not confined to (he State of New York.

Being official, the computations are reliable and suggestive, correcting as they do some erroneous impressions as to how the race referred (o was progressing. Fen-would have been surprised to learn that the cost of living had outstripped the increase of the average weekly wage. What has not been and cannot be computed is the arithmetic relating to the "rainy day." As to that, the savings banks seem to have little to complain about, despite generous responses to Liberty Loan appeals. It has been said that extravagance is our national disease, but some sort of an answer to the charge has been furnished. Not only did each Loan go triumphantly over the top, hut it was accelerated by subscribers in constantly increasing numbers.

Irrespective of the cause they promoted, the loans would have almost been worth while as a cure for the national disease, so called. There was much room for improvement. PLAYING THE ENEMY'S CAME. Lafayette Young, editor of the Dos Moines Capital, was a member of the same party of American newspaper men with which Mr. Kent of the Baltimore Sun journeyed through the war zone.

He was in Paris when Mr. Kent was there and he did not find the French capital "seething with international jealousies, friction and feeling," as Mr. Kent described it. He did find that "the best people of Europe, of Britain and France are working for American good will and not for friction." Every word of his statement, as published Saturday morning, is a direct, unqualified, emphatic contradiction of the sensational material thrust upon public attention by Mr. Kent.

We do not believe for one instant that there is a grain of truth in Mr. Kent's story of a more or less violent collision between Foch and Pershing, regarding the plans of the Allied forces. Events have proved Foch to be the master strategist of the age, capable of conceiving and executing the most intricate of military projects. General Pershing would, we think, be the first to acknowledge this and the last to relish the ascription to himself of a dictatorial and overhearing role. He Is not well served, the American people are not well served, by attempts to seize for him a distinction, to which he does not aspire.

The easiest thing in the world for a newspaper writer to do at this time Is to arouse ill-feeling among nations who have been friends and allies. The retailing of cheap and malicious gossip accentuating superficial differences and the failure to emphasize (lie broader aspects of international good feeling, such aspects as Mr. Young refers to In his statement, constitute a brand of mischief which every German sympathizer and propagandist will welcome wilh lll-eoncealrd delight. The people who in this country were driven under cover by our entry Into the war do not dare to play this game themselves. Hut they nre naturally elated when it Is played for them by some one whose motives are, perhaps, unquestionable, hut whose Judgment nnd sense of proportion nre obviously at fault.

History relates that once when he was abroad Benjamin Franklin was at dinner where he was to speak, and England having been toasted as the sun, and France as the moon, every listener said to himself, "Now, Frank 1 room only; scats only in the second' I balcony." I Even when we offer to pay 25 or 60 I cents, We are told, "Only box seats or (orchestra seats at from 50 cents up." FAIR l'LAY. Brooklyn, November 21, 1018.

Shepherd is especially qualified to speak on the subject, in that he was a signal boy on a ship connected with Admiral Farragut's fleet, and has therefore first-hand knowledge of Navy conditions in tho Clvii War period.

Mustering out of men in service can be best conducted through the medium of the local boards throughout the country.

These boards, some 4,500 number, are civil organizations, although under tho authority of tho War Department. Boards composed of civilians will handle this huge procedure with far more consideration of each individual case, and with a far greater degree of human Interest than will be possible if the work is confined to any military tribunal, i Then, too, it is essential that the soldiers bo kept under military re-j straint until they are discharged near as possible to their homes. This can be better accomplished by the local boards than by any other instrumentalities. Tako as an illustration our own city. If tho New York troops are brought back to Camp Upton or Camp Mills and aro paid off and discharged at camp there will be inevitable scenes of extravagance and excess.

The unfortunate incidents connected with the mustering out of troops after the Civil War will bo largely repeated. On the other hand, if the men are brought under military escort to their respective local boards, which are almost always in the immediate vicinity of their homes, and they are then registered and discharged there will be no such temptation or opportunity. The number of men discharged at one time will be small, $nd they will be practically at home when discharged. Also, the local boards have In their possession, in affidavits, questionnaires, 1 ports of medical examinations and other papers connected with each case, very complete data as to each individual soldier. If such data is supplemented by a copy of tho report of tho Army surgeon as to tho physical examination of the soldior, made at tho time tho soldier leaves camp, and by a further short questioning of the soldier at the board at th time of his discharge, the result will be a very comploto dossier, giving much detailed statistical information as t3 the pre-war conditions of tho soldier, his war record and his condition when discharged.

This information would, of course, bn of inestlmablo historical and other wJuo. The expense of maintaining tho boards for this purpose would be considerable, but In a matter so important any distinct advantage to tho country as well as to tho Soldiers will Justify a heavy outlay. As a member of Local Board ro. IG9 from the Institution of tho board down to the present time I have had considerable experience, and my opinion la based on my personal observations. GKO.

GORDON BATTLE. New York, November 28, 1918. FKEE SEATS ALL GONE. Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: The Brooklyn Institute is not playing fair with its members. Members aro entitled to reserved seats for Forum lectures, as bulletined from time to time.

This is our right. Within a very few hours after the opening of the box ofllco for tho presentation of members' tickets, wo aro told, "All seats aro gono; standing- 4 11 lin has only the stars, or else ho must break the sequence." He rose and drank to "America, the Joshua who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still and they obeyed him." The wit was a prophet. Uncle Sam this year is making good his prophecy. Mayor Hylan's views on the muzzling of dogs are academic. His views on the gagging of garbage nuisances are most unaccountably withheld from a wailing public.

At Arion, Belgium, five carloads of sauerkraut were first converted into "Liberty cabbage" and then converted Vnto Liberty brawn and muscle without delay. Prejudices of the palate arc easily overcome. Bazaine was convicted of treason. His grandson wins the Croix de Guerre. Aiitoine, great-grandson of Louis Philippe, dies for France as an aviator.

Animosities and class lines disappear when that great republic has a war for its life. Australia offers the world 1,000,000 tons of good wheat at the rate of $1.18 a bushel. Uncle Sam pays $2.20 at the farm. Where does the extra dollar go? To a favored class. Who pays It? A class that Is discriminated against.

Primary lessons in political economy are often enlightening. Colleges are quitting war work as fast as they can, demobilizing, trying to get back to the ideals of culture and scholastic discipline. The heads of colleges are wise men who know thai navy-surrendering armistice ends real hostilities, despite all legal or semilegal fictions. Advices from the Capital Indicate the horrible possibility that because of a hitch in Congress the Government will only bo able to collect $10 in a year instead of $S0 from every man, woman and child under our flag.
