More important than nm news of 'orman 17-inch Kims or British super drcadnauglits is the announcement that the Greal Northern lallroad has f nullica pulling a mile ol loaded irolght cars. These hugo locomotives ??re In use in tho slate of Washington hotween Spokane and Leavenworth. They are desrrlhed sa having seven teen driving wheels apiece, and two separate hollers. Two years ago James J. Hill sug gested, as Ilia ideal of power and transportation efficiency, a locomotive cnpahle of hauling 100 loaded cnri. These are hauling K14 cs rs apiece ..re equivalent of about 500 cars of the ordinary European type. Their ^cry power has proved to he a sourer of trouble There are no side tracks long enough to accommodate their tra?na, and there ure few caris strong enough to endure the strain of the cnorinouo pull, so that the tra?na an constantly breaking In two.

No matter what Mr. Bryan may. nay. tho bald and ugly fart will remain that he. who should have been the strong arm o? the administration, he upon who above ell others thc president should have been able to lean, nt hast for moral support, has deserted his chief and hin government in the midst of an International crisis the gravity o? which can not bc over stated, and he has done this, moreover, with th full understanding of the consequences which his action may precipitate. That these may be serious will have to be admitted. If they do not prove so In the event Ute virtue of such fortunate escape can not be accredited to Mr Bryan. True, he has parted company with President'Wilson with mutual expressions of esteem, .md this may be all well enough. But the world will const rue the situation broadly; and BO construing it. the enemies of tho United Staten will loug extrait comfort from the fnct that at thc critical moment the policy of the American government was not able to command tho npproval of UK own secretary of state. It Is not slmpiy that Mt. Bryan has repudiated Woodrow Wilson. He han repudiated also '?he president of tho United Statof., the spokesman of the American people, and repudiated him. not on a matter of iuternal policy, but before the world on a matter involving the relation*- to be maintained between this country und other civilized nations. The import of such conduct In not to be disguised by soft phrases. It is impossible that any excuses which Mr. Bryan may have to offer will cover his offense. But lt is inconceivable that lila course should succeed in robbing President Wilson of that public confidence and Biipport which he so vitally needs. And if Germany still retained any doubts an to Mr. Wilson's absolute firmness, his d- termination to stand to the position which the American rovernment has taken regardless of consequences, those doubts should now ho dissolved once and for all. The fact that rather than weaken In this matter the president has boen ready to part company with his chief cabinet officer, the man who had more to do than any other with hiB nomination for the presidency, 1B conclusive^ In this there ls hope. From the moment that Germany initiated her submarine campaign to the present hour there has been hut one possibility of avoiding a clash between Germany and the United States as a result of acts growing out of that campaign. All depended upon whether or not Ger many bhoiid realize that tq Maintain friendly relations with this country she must respect our rights upon the ness. If Germany should be Indifferent abort incurring our enmity, or if Germany were persuaded that the United States would manifest no resentment except In words, whatever she might do. it lian b'?en certain from tho first that sooner or later something would be done which would inflame the wrnth of the American people beyond control. President Wilson han neon this clearly and has spoken and acted accord ingly. Mr. Bryan han failed to nee lt. The utter futility of the position which he has assumed in consequence I3 pitiful. Mr. Bryan in not thc only lover of peace in America. The president in not less devoted to ita ideals. Mr. Bryan is not alone In his desire to avoid war. What man in lils nennen wishes otherwise? But war la not to be encaped through tame submission to unwarranted acts of aggrennion. Peace is not to be purchased through sur render. By no possibility could such a policy relieve the people of tho United Staten from the humiliating nnd dangerous position which they now occupy. Ita effects, ?ndcru?. would unquestionably be just the reverse. Let no one be misled, then, into thinking that Mr. Wilaon ntanda for war while Mr. Bryan atandn for peace. The country may bo thoroughly assured that If war can bo avoided in honor Mr. Wllson'n course is being directed to that end. Mr. Bryan, silent when the policy of this government waa enunci ated, months ago. now moven In a manner calculated to tho extent of his influence to Invite distrust of the wisdom of the president's efforts. It 1B an act which the American people must find lt difficult to forgive. It ought to strengthen the support which the president IB receiving. The public will now soo against what Influences he had to contend In the maintenance of the principles of Bound Americanism. It will be brought to a fuller appreciation c f the difficulties or the position which he occupies. It should rslly about him accordingly that he may be troubled by no doubts as to the loyalty and the unanimity of the American people. Division now means dlaaater. It can mean nothing el?e. Upon Woodrow Wilson, as Mr. Bryan himself pointed out. devolves the duty ol' enunciating the American policy. Tho cons?quences of his utterances must be accepted by every American, whether public officer or private citizen. When Presi dent Wilson speaks In the note to be sent to Germany today he speaks not lor himself alone, but for the whole American people. Thoa? who retune to stand with him thereby take their stand against the government of the United States. .*.*+**+++++?*++.>*?++ + ** ? +. ? FUNNYGRAPHS ? ? ? ++++?.!.+*+*?+?++++*+ + + + Why Open 'Em.

(New York World.) ** The two American citizens now in Germany whose passports have been revoked hv order of tho state depart ment had published a letter Baying that they were ashamed of their citi zenship. If they continue In the same frame of mind, they will 'have an op portunity, very soon, no doubt, to demonstrate their affection for Ger many in a more manly way. Having nothing to 3how that they are not subject, to military service, they may not Rot out of Germany except as they put on its uniform and go forth au soldiers.- i ...Much of thc ill-feeling against the United States in Germany has been instigated by American citizens or German birth who have violently mis represented this country and slavish ly sought the approval of the war party abroad.' Some of tbese worth ies have not taken the trouble to cross the ocean. Others, like the men who fo rthe moment are without a coun try, I m vp acted as agents of a vicious* propaganda and have taken ?heir pay In flattery and otherwise. Wien Vallandlgham became too sympathetic with the South during our Civil War. President Lincoln had him quietly deposited within the Con federate lined, where he would be among friends.

It is usually admitted by teachers in their more confidential moments that the results of examina tions aro little informative and less trustworthy, and it is also admitted that they do more than anything else to perpetuate in youthful minds the idea that education is a sort of gamo or contest, with the st inion ts on one side and tho instructors on the oth er, opposed in e sort of war. A.* al ways, war leads to strategy, and strat egy in tho last analysis is deception. Probably the only way to stop cheat ing at examinations is to stop 'having examinations. Peace ls Still the Goal. (Columbia State.) Secretary Bryan's resignation, while unexpected, will cause no profound surprise. In their motives the presi dent and Mr. Bryan are much alike. Both are sincere men, both ar- lovers of peace. Mentally they are widely unlike. One may not thinks of them working in the same way on a prob lem of delicacy and intricacy, and that ls the character of the questions pend ing between Germany and the United States. Secretary Bryan's great services in behalf of the peace of Cae world ia Btantly come to mind at the moment and the first-blush Interference ia that his resignation points away from ami cable solution of the German enten dement. That is a superficial view. Mr. Wilson ls not less a friend of peace than is Mr. Bryan. Which of the two is the more effective worker for lt? The time for preachments has passed. The task ls to find a way out of a situation already serious. Tfte goal is peace with honor. Mr. Bryan's retirement does not diminish the zeal with which the president strives to reach it and. without disparagement ot MK.
