From an understanding of the con- ditions which exist in this country today. it must be apparent that the appeal which has been made to his fellow citizens by Prosident Wilson must receive more than careful read- ing for it calls in addition for.a hear- ty response from every line of ind: try and every individual. There are problems which this country faces which must be met and such cannot be done unless the industrial forces of the country will organize themselves into a -great International service army. These problems may be no different than have already existed since the outbreak of the war and the tremen- dous demands which have been made upon this country, but they are mani- festly greater. Where other coun- tries have depended upon the United States for foodstuffs and for manu- tured articles, in the past, they are going to continue to do so to a larger degree, and in addition thereto this country has got to look out for itself for having entered the watr the drain upon the resources is bound to be greatly increased. It is perfectly apparent thexefore that everyone must put his shoulder to the wheel and do his part in con- tributing to the national requirements. Great sesponsibilities fall upon the United Statés even though it does not land an army immediately upon Bu- ropean seil. It is even possible to rénder service of highest charac- prosecution of 90% AVErage.....sesee April 14, 1917.. 1o whether the Vlights at the' 2 York must be shul off at alsht during the coming seasom, it is svident that the proprietors at such resvrts are a bit weorried as io their business this year. These shure resorts are points to which ~hundreds of thousands of people flock for relief during the hot weather and they find rechreation there from the opening to the clese of the season. The shutting oft of the ghts would therefore seriously in- terfere with business. In case It was necessary business would have to receive secondary eon- sideration, Protection must come first and if the lights were'a menace to the safety the lichts wouM have to go, bt there is muth ground for bellef that nothing of the Kind will be nec- cssary. The government has informed such inquirers that no plans have heen made as yet for shutting off the lights and none are contemplated un- less the enemy becomes more menac- ing than is indicated at the preseat time, or more dangerous than it ia be- lieved it Wil be possible for him to be. And of course what applies to the resorts in and about New York Wwill have the same application along the entire coast. That there will be a curtailment ot the shore resort business this sum- mer is not improbable. Many who have made it a practice of spending the scason at the shore are likely to be ®0 engaged that they will not find the time, dut the one big troudle that is sure to confront the summer hotels and and resorts is that.of the high cost of living. Rates are likely to by =0 high under existing conditions that the people cannot meet them. QUALIFICATION SHOULD GOVERN In connection with the regulation of any great problem it is always im- portant that those who are selected for responsible p.ll:lo:n;' should Dbe men of experience, bu W generally or overiooked is aiding in the fight for St. Quentin for with the British astride the Hinden- burg line pushing east and south, the French are being materially aided in their struggle for the city to the*south about which their troops and artillery have been thrown and from which the Germans are evidently retiring if the fires which are reported from there can bé taken as evidence. Both these efforts with the advance of the Bel- gians at Dixmude make it evident that the Germans must woon take up a new line, and if the present one has not been completed there is little rea- son to believe that they have had an opportunity to properly prepare a new one. The stratégic retreat therefore may soon become & rout. ——e STOP THE WASTE. ‘There can be no question but what millions upon millions of dollars could be saved every year If there was the proper effort put forward to overcome waste. There is of course a certain amount which must be classed as ir- retreivable waste, and there is still more from which there might be ob- tained a certain amount of value if properly used, but because we have been accustomed to plenty the people of this country have gotten into the habi¢ of throwing away odds and ends, left overs and scraps without any regard whatever to the uses to which they might be put. This applies to house- holds as well as industries. It ap- plies to individuals as well as large organizations. In this connection the secretary of agriculture estimates that there is wasted In food several hundred mil- " i L ifi { il 388 i it e Ll i Hy §§§s§ i i EiiE 18} s o LPor Eaig al g L T . e piaf i g i i ] iig- s Blitor: The binl increasing the r of officers for our eity court passed the sennte TR as_the daily press nothing to siy against its passage.

This bill is needed .about as much a8 & cat needs two tails. How differ- ent from the old way of running the court: formerly the udge had to pay the deputy judge out of his own sal- ary and now he is paid $ by the city. The clerk formerly received and satisfi of $300 lions of dollars each year, amounting . as he figures it to about seven dollars for each man, woman and child in the country, and to a great degree this is| by preventable. It has not been stopped in the past because the effort was con- sidered greater than the result. The habit of waste has been cultivated in- stead of fought with the result that there are a great many who know no better because they have failed to stop and consider just what they are doing. But with the country In war, and brought to the realization of the fact that it must put forward every ener- £y In order to produce such a food supply as it needs for itself and at the same time take care of those who are to it for assistance, it 18 high time that al with the n- creased production there should be more attention paid to the elimination | ... of this waste. A little thoughtful at- tention given to this matier ocught to accomplish appreciable resulta. We must make the full and best dse of what we have.
