An appeal for the conservation of coal has been sent, through the press, to the citizens of New England by the Federal Coal Committee. Calling attention to the fact that| coal is essential to the successful| prosecution of the war; that every available pound can be put to good use; and’ that it is the patriotic duty | of every citizen to avoid waste and to consider how coal requirements oan be reduced, the committee points out some salient features of present- day conditions. New England in panticular is con- fronted by a very critical situation. Two-thirds of our coal supply nor- mally comes by water. Many vessels engaged in carrying coal to New Eng- land ports have, however, already heen taken by the Government, and more will have to be surrendered for Government service as the war goes on. Our railroads are now burdened | to the limit of their capacity and can- | not take care of the extra load thus thrown upon them. With these limi- tations upon our transportation fa the ties come greatest demand coal ever known in New England. Under these circumstances every New England coal user must help. How can this help be best expend- ed? The committee, in a special ap- peal to housewives, ways, asking all: a. Not to use coal for heating be- fore the first of November, the first of May, temperature is for points out five or after the house below 60 degrees. b. To burn wood wherever possi- ble. c. unless To use small oil heaters when it is necessary to keep certain parts of the house at a special temperature. d. Te reduce the coal used in the | stoyes.

Turn off house | lights when not needed, if only for a few moments. So much for what can be done in the home. The Committee then directs its attention to those who con- trol office buildings, hotels and apart- | ment houses, asking them, along with the foregoing requests, “to bank fires at all possible times, and when build- ing is to be only partially used to | turn off heat wherever feasible. Business buildings not used after six o'clock in the evening should have | fires banked } These suggestions are to the point. | The times call for skill and care in putting coal into stoves and furnaces.

(Don Marquis in New York Evening Sun.) Bverything camouflage these days, isn't it? remarked Hermione, the modern young woman. One of the lovellest men told us all about it the other evening—my little group of serious thinkers, you know. It's like caterplllars, if vou get what T mean.

Yes, I think it was Origen—Origen on Spe- cles, you know. It's like camelopards. you know— or is it salamanders? No, it can’t be salamanders. Anyhow. they are the little things that change to any num- ber of different colors, just as they please, according to what .they are sitting on. There's a story about one of them that sat on a Scotch plaid, and tried to turn all the different col- ors at once. and it made him nearly crazy. Chameleons? chameleons.

Yes, it must me is what the word no doubt— what he really I don't know meant. And he never would explain it. All he would say was that all the different causes and things I take up kept me busy as a chameleon. “But papa,” I sald, “I don’t sit on them!"” He wouldn’t explain at all. He just went through the motion of picking his teeth and looked knowing and said nothing else. Great Days for the Crack-Brains, (Ohio State Journal).

(Interview in the Chicago News.) “I had no desire to go to war,” he said. “I do not suppose I would have Joined the regular army or the guard if the war had lasted another ten years. I had a good posltion, making good money; why should I? Then along came the draft. Just like thou- sands of other fellows, I did not like the idea and hoped I would be down | In the Ust. But I was not. I was called, passed, waived exemption, and sent here. ‘““The first thing that happened when I got off the train at camp, and in the rain at that, was the presentation to me of a waterproof poncho. I did not have a raincoat. Neither did any- body else. There was not an armed guard in sight and I did not see one was not there to see that none of us escaped, either. He was on sentry post. Then I was taken to supper, as good as I cver ate in a restaurant in Chicago. 1 was issued my bedding and I had a fine sleep. Then I re- ceived a uniform and, if I do say it myself, I look more like a man in that than I ever did in anything. ) “Now, I'm a person who looks at things rather ecritically. I reason things out for myself. I have come to this conclusion: I like this thing. I like it better than I would if T had | volunteered for it. T think I am in a good company; I'm strong for my captain and the lieutenants. They are regular fellows. I went to college with one of them, ate his snacks from home, and wore his clothes when I needed them. J “I think we are going to have one of the finest armies in this little old TUnited States that any nation at any time of the worlds history ever put to- gether, bar none. When this national army goes to France it is going to get more action to the square inch than old Bill Hohenzollern ever dreamed of getting out of soldiers. The boys, officers, and men, that I have seen so far are ‘go-getters’ right off the jump. “As I said before, I'm for them. want to see this thing through now that T am in it. and T wouldn't miss it for the best job in Chicago.” Enriching Our Vocabulary. (Philadelphia Public Ledger). ‘When Senator J. Ham Lewis of Tlinols alluded to Senator Johnson of California as ‘“the fiery Rienzi of the Pacific” and to Senator LaFol- lette as ‘“‘the avenging Gracchus of the west,” in the senate the other day he did something more than to add to the gayety of nations. He riched our vocabulary of -familiar names. They used to do this sort of thing in Congress a great deal more than they have lately. Perhaps the repre- sentatives of the people are becoming less literary in their forensic efforts. There was a time when Hayes' sec- retary of the navy, Richard W. Thompson, was alluded to as “the An- cient Mariner of the Wabash,” and Senator Danjel W. Voorhees, also of Indiana, was the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash.” When president, Van Buren was the “Wizard of Kinderhook,” and Presi- dent William Henry Harrison the “Cincinnatus of the West.” Jefferson was the ‘“‘Sage of Monti- cello,” and Samuel J. Tilden, in imi- tatlon of the great democratic leader, was the “Sage of Greystdne.” Henry Clay was the ‘“Millboy of the Slashes.” Gen. John Logan was “the grand old Black Eagle of TIlli- nol; Cleveland “the Man of Destin Blaine, *“the Plumed Knight,” and Allen G. Thurman, who never reached the vice presidency, was called the “Noblest Roman of them all.” Even Washington did not escape popular designation, for he was al- luded to as the “American Fabius.” Perhaps Senator Lewis will awaken- interest in this eminent habit of label- ing the country’s eminent sons. en- was WILL NOT ABATE TAXES.

Various descriptions of jazz music have from time to time appeared, but none¢ seemed to hit the mark exactly, says au#connoisseur of this art. The common impression is that it consists of a lot of peculiar and noisy sounds without rhyme or reason. This is ot the case, however. It consists chiefly of syncopation, peculiarly ac- centuated; variations by some of the struments; improvisations by oth- 3 mingled with odd sound effects. Through all this the melody of the ions rendered must be distin- guishable at all times—tin-can noises, beating the life out of the drums, blasting by the brass instruments is entirely unnecessary Contrasts be- tween pianissimo and fortissimo pas- sages should be shown just as much in jazz music as in the classics. Another wrong impression is that jazz orchestras must consist of a certain instrumentation. This also is not the case. The violin, ’cello, cor- net, piamo, or, in fact, any legitimate As jazz mu- sic is originally Ethioplan, the banjo and saxophone are used merely to lend negro character to it. The number of musicians that can jazz properly is said to be small, be- sause It really requires good musi- cians, who must also be endowed with the swing or knack of performing it. Although many of the (.'e and the- ater orchestras are composed of good musicians, those who can jazz are scarze. On the other hand, many of the self-styled jazz orchestras are misrepresentations, and cannot play the semi-classics or classics adequate- 1y Some cannot perform it prop- erly, and to offset this, resort to noise and discord in imitation thereof. The percentage of musiclans who can do justice to the classics and also play Jazz is consequently even smaller. This kind of orchestra is exceedingly scarce. Jazz music is rhythmical and in- spiring. It is declared the best anti- dote for the blues.\ The Heart of thie Union. (Philadelphia Record). Of the 206,549 recruits who had en- listed in the regular army from April 1 up to Friday evening last, 103,235, or almost exactly one-half, came from the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island,, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. With the exception of Rhode Island, all of these common- wealths have largely exceeded their quotas, and the surplus of their en- listments, with that of some smaller states, has served to make up the de- ficiency reported from other parts of the country. o This splendid block of sovereign commonwealths, stretching from the Atlantic ocean to the Mississippi river and including six of the thirteen orig- inal colonies, embraces no small part of the wealth of the United States. It is pre-eminent in manufactures, and the three western members pos- sess great agricultural wealth. In all nine states the proportion of foreign- horn residents is high. It is extreme- ly gratifving, therefore to find that the spirit of patriotism blazes no less brightly among those who have come here from other lands and among ftheir children than among the native ‘American element. Indeed, the com- parison is by no means favorable to the older stock. Making proper al- lowances for the difference in popula- tion, Vermont's contribution of 135 soldiers to the army contrasts very unfavorably with Connecticut's 2,510, and Pennsylvania’s 22,978 recrults dwarf into insignificance Virginia’s 1,662 and North Carolina’s 1,636. Yet these two last states are supposed to be largely composed of Americans whose families have been long resl- dents in this country. Such figures show that the heart of the United States i{s sound and loyal, notwithstanding the noisy outcries made by a very trifling percentage of the population. The states that fur- nish the bulk of the troops for the Revolution are no less patriotic in 1917 than _ in 1775, and the tradition is nobly carried on by their western sisters. America is all right, as the German kaiser wil] learn in due time. What We Are Going to Get. (Norwich Record) Every traitor and every near trai- tor in the United States is inquiring, “What are we going to get out.of this war?" Well, among other things, we are going to get a better grade of pa- triotism than we have been having. We are going to put an end to build- ing up foreign colonies in the United States as breeding places of treason. We are going to quit making the for- eigner believe he is the only creature on earth worth while. We are going to love every foreigner who really be- comes an American and all others we are going to stop hiring men in banks ahd public offices simply because they speak foreign languages. In this way we expect to encourage the speaking of the Enlish language. We are going to have consultations with the I. W. W.'s to ascertain whether or not they have a real grievance or any just cause for their treasonable mouthings and threats. If they have any just cause, we are going to remove it; then we are going (o shut their mouths for good and all. We are not going to let men come into the United States without some kind of a bond, guaran- teeing that they are not going to en- gage in burning property or in carry- ing on secret work on behalf of the country they came from. Out of this war, we are going to get a new United States. We are going to hate nobody: but we are going to be prepared to fight whenever nccessary. We are going to have the freest country in the world, but we are not going to allow any traitorous highbrows to set their own standards of freedom by which to convert freedom into treason. There are a good many other things “we are going to get out of this war.” When the soldier boys come home, we are going to have two millions of patriots who,” having fought for the flag, will make good citizens and thorough pa- triots. The people of the TUnited States are going to get more out of this war than will be returned to any oth- er country in the world. GERMANY THE OUTCAST. Her War Attitude Has Oreated Hatred and Suspicion Which Will Redound in Years to Come. (New York Tribune.) The real meaning jto Germany of the Argentine episode must not be overlooked in the midst of all the discussion of Swedish neutrality and German diplomacy. The fact i that Germany has lost one more open market after the war and created one more center of hatred and sus- piclon for herself now and hereafter. Some time in the future the his- torlans who make up the record of the past three years will have to wrestle with the problem of how Germany was able to rally the whole world against her; by what method did German statesmanship and Ger- man policy mobilize not merely the neighboring countries with whom she had ancient or contemporary Qque&.- rels, but the people of Asia, of Afri- ca and of the two Americas against her? What was the German system by which those who sought only neutrality in a world war were, one by one, against their will, compelled either to enter the war directly or indirectly to serve the cause of the enemies of Germany by destroying German influence and interests with- in their own frontiers? One can imagine the historian puzzling with this question. By what form of insanity was the whole Ger- man people afflicted when, after it had purposefully involved itself in a quarrel with three great powers in Europe, it should have so conducted its policies beyond the seas that the United States, Brazil, Argentina, China, remote Siam, unimportant Li- beria, should have felt moved to strike at the Fatherland either through domestic disorder? Russians, Frenchmen, Britons, Canadians, Aus- trallans, New Zealanders, Chinese, Portuguese, Americans, Brazilians, Italians, Cubans—who can now give the census of the nations and the peoples either at war with Germany or on the point of taking up arms? The serious aspect of the thing to the German cannot be overlooked. ‘When this war is over—and, after all, it will be over some day—Germany, a great manufacturing nation, whose prosperity at home depends upon the business it can obtain abroad, will have once more to go out into the world looking for orders. Her agents. will have to invite purchasers for German wares. Her shipping men will have to ask for passengers for German ships. Her bankers will have to seek asylum once more in foreign countries for their branch agencles. How will these advance agents of German business be received? What welcome will there be in America for German ships whose very officers per- haps participated in the Lusitania Massacre” Will “Made in Germany" suggest anything but “Spurlos Ver- senkt” in Buenos Ayres? What wel- come will there be for the German agent who travels after the German aeroplane and the German invader through France r after the Zep- pelin in Englan How Canada will greet Germans while the memory of what was done to the Canadians at Ypres survives! One can fancy the Canadian business man inquiring of the German agent whether he hap- pened by chance to be among those who ‘‘gassed” the Canadians in the Ypres salient. Never since history began has any people sown such seeds of hatred, of passion, of enduring rancor as have the Germans in the last three years, There is not a continent amongst them all a portion of whose popula- tion is not at war with Germany. Asia is closed, Australia is olosed, Africa is closed. Until recently there remained the two Americas, and German industry and German effi- ciency never rested until that time when they were able to bring the United States to war; and, after Bra- zil, Argentina is now enlisting in the anti-Teutonic crusade. Germany's present and her past have already been sacrificed in the war. She is using up her future now. The few remaining markets that she might have held, the few neutrals with whom she might have done bus- iness on the old basis, one by one are changing their character and thelr at- titude toward her. The destroyed German business offices in Buenos Alres are something of a counterpoise to the ruins that Germany has strewn over Europe. If Germany has burned French villages and Belglan cities, the world has paid the debt by extirpating every German root outside the Cen- tral Powers. When the war is over England and France and Russia and Italy can begin where they left off in their commercial relations with the world. They have made, not lost, friends since the war began. They have as allles now nations which were only remote friends four years ago. American credit will follow American/soldiers to France. Ameri- can capifal will rebuild Belgium and the ruined districts of France. But where will Germany find friends when the war is over? Wherever she turns there is only to be found the harvest sown by her submarines, her areo- planes, her devastating armies and her plundering civil governments. The full burden of German defeat in this war is not yet appreclated either in Germany or elsewhere. It will not be appreciated until the end of the war. What Germany has lost is not shown on the map, which elo- DESAULLES BOY GUARDIANSHIP FUED Brother of Murdered Man Wishes to Have Nephew New York, Sept. 19—The likelihood that the guardianship of John L. de Saulles, Jr., the infant son of Mrs» Bianca Errazuriz de Saulles, will be taken from her before she has been indicted for killing her husband was indicated yesterday in the course of an argument before Surrogate Fowler in the application of Charles A. H. de Saulles, uncle of the boy, to be named as his guardian. Henry A. Uterhart, counsel for Mrs. de Saulles, questioned the jurisdiction of Surro- gate Fowler to hear the case on the " ground that the decedent was a resi- dent of Nassau County, but the sur- rogate ruled that he had jurisdiction. Acting Surrogate Smith of Nassau County, who has been retained to aid in Mrs, de Saulle’s defense, was also in court in her behalf. Ex-Senator James A. O’Gorman uyp- peared for the petitioner and com- tended that the mother had “inca-g pacitate herself from acting as her son's guardian. He said that since her relatives are aliens the boy's uncle on his father's side should be appointed since the other paternal relatives have consented to his ap- pointment. Mr. Uterhart replied that Mrs. de Saulles must be deemed in- nocent until she has been declared guilty of killing her husband and, when Surrogate Fowler interrupted to¢ ask if the attorney didn’t believe the surrogate had power to use his dis- cretion in the case, Mr. Uterhart said: “I do not think the case of Mrs. de Saulles should be prejudiced in the eyes of the community and of persons likely to be called on the jury through having newspaper head- lines state that the surrogate has taken this mother's boy away from* her. At any rate I do not believe it fair for the court to exercise discre- tion by appointing as guardian the bitterest enemy of the mother. If the court insists on appointing a guardian we would not object to Mrs. G. Maur- ice Hecksher, with whom the boy has been staying since the death of his father.” O’Gorman Objects to Woman. 3 As to the appointment of Mrs. Hecle scher, who is the wife of the deced- ent’s cousin and business partner, Sen- ator O’Gorman made objection and in- sisted that his client should be named as a matter of right, although counsel for Mrs. De Saulles said that the boy should be upder a woman'’s care. Ha stated that it Mrs. De Saulles is ac- quitted she might have trouble getting* her boy back. The argument also revealed differ- ences between Mrs. De Saulles and the relatives of her husband as to her son’s visits at the Mineola jail, as the result of which she hasn’t seen her son since Aug. 28. George Gordon Battle, counsel for the De Saulles family, wrote Mrs. De Saulles’s attorney on. Aug. 15 that her son would visit her at reasonable times if twenty-four hours’ notice of the mother's desire to see her son were given. Mrs. Do Baulles replied on) the following day that she wanted to see her son every day from 10 to 12 A. M., but on Aug. 17 Mr. Battle replied that he didn’t bellieve daily visits were ‘‘reasonable’ and said the family considered that - twice a week would be reasonable. The attorneys met at the Bar As- sociation to discuss the boy’s visits and Mr. Battle suggested that the mother send word to Charles A. H. de Saulles direct when she wanted the boy to visit her. Mr. Uterhart would not consider the suggestion and the boy went to see his mother on Aug. 24, and for the third and last time on* quently testifies to what she has temporarily gained. The true fallacy and futility of the German method we see only in detail now. We shall see them clearly later. The real Ger- man defeat has been the destruction of German credit and German repu- tation and German commercial es- tablishments over the whole world. Even if Germany were to retain her road to the Near East, from Berlin to Bagdad, it would be no counter- welght to what she has lost beyond the seas. Another year of war, and the whole world will count for Ger- many no friends beyond the reach of her owneartillery. And there will be another year of war. Speaking of the eternal fitness of things, we note that the man who was in charge of the Government's food canning propaganda is Mr. Pack. —Boston Evening Transcript. Aug. 28. Subsequently Mr. Battle in- sisted that notice of the desired visit be sent to Charles A. H. De Saulles and because of Mrs. De Saulles ‘re- fusal to do so she has not seen her son for three weeks.

The directors of the club for this year are Misses I. Har- vey and M. Macauley. Abel Gross has been selected to act as head cheer leader for the coming football season. As the freshman as« sembly Friday, Gross will lead the schoo] yells and will sing the class songs for the benefit of the freshmen. The orchestra rehearsed after the last period today in the auditorium. At 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon the debating club will meet in Room 18 under the direction of Professor ‘W. Fay. As one more director will * be needed this year it is probable that Professor Dillingham, instructor in English in the Vocational school, will be selected.
