ON FIRM GROUND. Standing on perfectly firm ground. the president voices his disapproval of the effort that is being made to -curtail his responsibilities and ham- per his autherity in the conduct of the war. The effort is beinzg made through an amendment to the food control bill to have a committee named from the house and the :enate to su- pervise the war work. It is the constitutional right of the president, who is conmander in chief f the army and navy, to eonduct the war. That duty, which is a large one, is clear! set forth and there ought to no step taken in conaress which would in any wav interfere there- with. It Is a tremendous task and congress should do its utmost to lend its assistance instead, of tryinz to embarrass and that is what the presi- ent has let it be known that he con- iders the naming of any such com- mittee wouid result in. There is al- ready ample opportunity for the pres- ident to met such advice and assist- ance as he may need in carrving out 2is task, and if congress wants to do part it should speed up its action along constructive instead of destruc- ive lines. It should rea splay its sposition to help bd taking such mat '® as are expected to come sefore it. It should get down to the >usiness at hand, The detrimental effects of placing 2 committee over a job which should e administered by a single head has >een I displaved in the trouble hat has been experienced in gettin he ship construction programme un- derway. The president well under- stands that the same sdrt of a fol de rol would develop thronzh him with this adv posed by the Owen amendmer work of the executive department government ought not to be croached upon especially at this crit cal time What is needed in congress to stop plaving into Germany's ands and get down to sound and sen- ble business. MUST UPHOLD THE LAW. It was not long ago that Massachu- setts was referred to as a common- wealth where the right steps had been taken to overcome the dazzlinz headlights on motor vehicles, through early recosnition of the danzer which existed to all users of the hizhways, nd the adoption of legislation to rem- edy the situation. In keeping with its deavors to bring about respect for law, it was supposed that the au- s of the Bay state entrusted the obedience of the auto owners, but there has been evidence presented of recent date which iIndicates that the =nforcement is not being givenas much attention as It deserves. Whether thi: refers to isolated cases or whether it ns the general condition through- out the state is not disclosed, but it must be apparent that a law of that kind is as useless if it is not lived up as the non existence of the law. Where laws are not enforced their dis- obedience is encouraged rather than discouraged. Connecticut has recently placed in effect a law to overcome the dazzling headlights and the department has notified auto owners that they can use one of several kinds of lenses which will be accepted as compliance with the law. There has been, from all observations, an effort on the part of motor drivers to see that their cars are so equipped as to overcome this highway danger which goes with the powerful headlights, but it must be malized that this is a matter where & care of such duties were fnsisting upon, +id of their surplus crops be. individuals cannot be aliowed as they please. should be made to respect the provis- ions of the law. The authorities should be active in looking into this requirement for as soon as it is real- ized that one driver is allowed to do as he pleases others are going to look upon it as a letting down of the bars and it will not be lonz before every- body will' be doing the same. A law to amount to anvthing needs to be enforced and it is only just to those who are doing their utmost to obey that those who are inclined to take changes or to evade the law should be called to account. WARNING TO HARD COAL MEN. At the time when the arransement was made with the producers of bitu- minous coal to dispose of their product at a fair figure in order to prevent the taking over of that business by the government, it was announced that the matter of bringing about a better state of affairs concerning the an- thracite situation was to be taken up' by the federal trade commissior: in or- der that there might be proper treat- ment accordel the users of such fuel. From a statement which has just been made by Ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey, a member of that com- mission to the Pennsylvania associa- tion of retail coal merchants, such an investigation is underway and he gave them warning to the effect that if the coal men themselvés do mot agree on a fair and reasonable price for the consumer to pay the government would step in and fix the prices. Tha commissioner declared to those deal- ers that a profit of a dollar a ton was enough, that it was no time for ex- acting eorbitant profits and that it was not the intention of the commis- sion to treat the coal men any differ- ent than those In other lines of bus- iness. What is aimed at is a fair regu- lation and in connection with this he made it plain that there was no rea- son why it should not bhe brought about for he laid emphasis upon the fact that there is an abundance of coal, meaning that there is plenty to o around and that no one should either experienca a shortagse or be forced to pay unfair prices under the impression that the supply was short. This is evidently an effort on the part of the commissioner to bring the anthracite coal men into ine the same as the bituminous men, but there a parently needs to be some haste shown 'in this matter if provi ion is going to be made for a proper distribution throughout the country before cold weather sets in. MUST BE PRCOPER SAFEGUARDS. From Chicago comes word to the effect that a physicizn has permitted a child to die without performinz an operation which would have saved its life under the belief that he has done the best thing for the child, the par- ents and society in general. It was a case similar to one which secured widespread publicity not so long asgo. That called forth commendation and condemnation. Rut in both instanccs, and the doctor is free to declare that he has other cases of the same char- acter where the children are going to be allowed to die without putting them out of the way though mak them as comfortable as possibla w they live, the important question has been whether science should be ¢m- ployed to its limit to preserye the hi man life, where deformity which ean never be overcome and there is ever reason to believe that the child can never be anythinz but an imbectle, or whether the infant which is doomed to be a handicap to itself and others! which cannot te allowed to ex- because of cenditions corrected should be pire, As In the case of these children, who have agreed to the o e followed, no one can be desirous of bringing up monstrosities. They are a danger to the race and the fact that science is able ~to prolong their life and their sufferings is not sufficient reason for its employment. There is a crave responsibility, how- r, in arriving at a decision in such the parents of ev cases. Tt calls for the exercise of ex- treme care in determining the future capabilities of such babies. There danger that poor judgment may be used or that sufficient attention may not be directed to those cases. It is a matter which ought not to be left to the opinion of one physician or two. There should be the utmost care used to see that zreat mistakes are not made in matters of such vital import- ance. There must be adequate safe- guards. EDITORIAL NOTES.

The kaiser doesn't think the United States Is going to amount to much in the war, but he will have a chance to revise his views as Lloyd George savs he did in the case of Great Brit- ain. After seeing the trouble that is re- sulting from the attempt to have two heads in charge of the operations, it would seem that con- gress ought to see the advisability of one over three food admjnistrators. With Emperor Charles said to be at the front and Kaiser Wilhelm and Premier Kerensky hastening there, it isn’'t so much a question as to who gets there first, but who will have the sreatest influence upon the Russian army after their arrival Not a little time and attention has been given to making articles for the soldiers across the water. It ought to be realized that there is now a magnificent opportunity to do some- thing for those who are going into the service from our own eity. With all efforts that are being put forth in. behalf of conservation, the fruit raisers and gardeners are hav- ing as great a time as ever getting ause there is no satisfactory way for those who have too much and those who do not have enough to get together. ng shipbuflding | e 1] The man from Hyde Park sighed. “I never know nowadays,” he told his friend from Woodlawn, “whether I am woing home to a polka dotted or a striped domicile or whether it will be a sea green dinner or one done in pas- tel tints!” “What is your trouble?” the man from Woodlawn inquired with resign- €d_politeness. “Imogene has the renovating craze’ confessed the man from Hyde Park. “It is combined with a touch of fever concerning the influence of color upon the soul and disposition. It started with a black hat which became dingy in appearance. Somiebody, wishing revenge upon Imogene, advised her to buy a 10 cent bottle of fluid, so sim ple that a child could use it, and trans. form her hat. Imogene did it and her raptures over a glistening new straw hat has changed that woman com- rletely. “At once she began to dream of what a real clever person, such as her- self, might accomplish. It is a re- markable thing that no woman can iet well enough alone. “She painted all her blagk hats” continued the man from Hyde Park, “and she dved a white one pink and another lavender and there w=as hard feeling between us for one solid week because I snatched mv cherished pan- ama from her just as she was about to lay on a brush dripping with a pale blue tint. She said she had hought the blue with the other colors and. as she did not have enough hats of her own to go round, she thought of course I'd be willing to contribute one or two for the coloring bee—and now never, never. &o long as she lived, would she forzet my selfishnes “Then she decided to uplift the eook by white erameling the kitchen chair and table and first the ccok’s young man sat in the chair too previously and then I did, afier it had been re- painted and was supposed to be dry. Imogene wziled tragically over that chair seat and ran around getiing out prushes and enmamel and things and I could get her to pay absolutely no at- tention whatever to the damazed seat of mv trousers. She said, over her shoulder, as she repainted the chair, that mo doubt it wounid wear off my waited long enourh, and nt to sit do It was trousers if I what on earth did T w in the kitchen for anvhow? just like a man, she s: “1 suppose her periurbating over the enamel was responsible for the erratic way in which ehe accomplished the black enameling of the zas range. Yes, that followed the white.

When the paint was mixed. Imogene told me afterward between her regret- tul sobs, it was a lovely, mysterious shade of smoky gray—but after it got on the floors and dried out it seemed to shade from an orange to an angry purple. “And while I may have admired cublst art, 1 admire many things I wish to Xeep distinct from my own home. This I desire to be a place of peace and rest. I defy any one to be either peaceful or rested in a place that is orange in front and heliotrope in the back and the lodestone for the stares of a curious crowd of criticiz- ing acquaintances. Till we got those rorches painted .A=ain people in our region would say ‘Let's go and leok at those porches,” just the wav tour- ists murmur. ‘Come on, let's go look at_the falls or the Lover's Leap!' “When the stock of paint was ex- hausted Imogene hegan composing symphonic color schemes in dinners. She said a sea graen dinner was war- :anted to soothe the jangied nerves of any tired business man. It may have !elped my nerves. but I'd hate to tell you what it did to my digestion for three days and nights. “But when T came home and met a rink dinner face to face I rebelled. I told Tmogene that as far back in my family history as the stone age., pink had always transformed my male rei- atives into howling. savage mdniacs. and T couldn’t be responsible for what it would do to me: so she'd better get on her hat and come on ronrd the corner to the 30 cent table d'hotel. “It must have been the table d'hotel, but, anvhow, Imogene ignored me completelx for five days. last night she seemed more cheerful. but it was because she had been studving a paint catalogue all dav and I tel! you I'm discouraged! T'm scared to go home!” “Cheer up!” said the Woodlawn man. “She’s 2 woman, and no woman cver remembered to clean a paint brush after she uspl it. € by this ime hers are all dried up, petrified and 1sel P “Whoopee!” shouted the Hyde Park man joyously.—Chicago News GLEAMNED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES Scouts have calendar they mus:t mark this day (July 12th) in red letters—the cen- tenary of the birth of Thoreau.

It it be true that the “Gazette de France” has suspended publication, it Prings to an end a journal that has had exalted connections. It was found- ed in 1631 under the patronage of Cardinal Richelieu, who acted as for- eign correspondent, keeping it well supplied with “foreign intelligence,” as the term was then. And among its ~pecial parazraphists at one time was Louis VITI—who used to take round to the printing of- office and wait to see them set up in type. A lot of mystery has been spun about what s>me writers have called “The Hush Boat.” There is a class of them, but what is the part they are rlaying In the war? A comrespondent furnishes two little peaps at their doings: — It was a “Hush Boat” that carried Mr. Balfour acrose the Atlantic. She is the pride of the Navy. The greatest =hip of the Fleet, and out and home she did the (rip in something under six days—how much T wor't say. Here is another glimpse of her i prowess: 1 remember the afternoon that the word passed like lightninz through a Litle village that the Germans had by some miracle got something “big” through our blockade—one of the dead- ilest and most rapid and dramatic of peaceful commerce destroyers, a big raider Quickly most of the inhabitants were watching one of the “Hush Boats” that lay not far out. Soon she swung clear of her moorings, and, by heavens, she went on the browl at knots and knots more than any Clyde engineer believed a ship could thresh through water. 5 That she did her work all right we knew in time, for one morning, when the grey Scottish mists lifted, there She lav_again, silent. brooding, the secret of the deed sh> had done sit- ting lghtly on her massive size, but as impenetrable as the secrets she contains.

Hundreds of women fought in the Russian ranks in the Navoleonic War, and it Is said 7 today there is hardly a reziment in lan army without one or two women warriors. This is the first time, however, that Amazon units have been formed. Valorous deeds have been performed by the Russian emulators of Joan of Are during this war. There was Sis- ter Myra Ivanovnaz, who, when the reziment to which she was attached b outflanked, and the officers had all fallen, rallied the soldiers in a successful dash on the enemy trench and died in_the moment o fvictory. Many other Russian nurses have been kiiled or have died of wounds sus- tained in bravely succouring the sol- diers under fire. Marfe Smirnoff, a girl Cossack of 21 has won the medal of St. George and two St. George's Crosses for cour- age in action, after being prompted to non-commissioned rank for taking prisoner an _Austrian officer of the General Staff. Anna Zeppek enlisted as an “ambu- lance man “when the war begun: but it did not satisfy her, and she received permission to join the combatant forces. She was wounded and cap- tured in the great retreat. and while a prisoner was sentenced to death as a . but the sentence was not carried . and she was afterwards released. While in captivity she threw hot soup in the face of an Austrian officer who tried to make love to her. She was given the St. George's Cross for brav- ery in the capture of a machine-gun and five men. .The German aeroplanes that are now being used for long distance bombardments are of a new and pow- erful type, described as follows by a writer in the Swiss paper, “Gazette de Lausanne’ These are the flying machines that were put through numerous trials in January last at Doeberitz, when mem- bers of the Reichstag were among the spectators. These meachines are driven by twin motors and propeilers. They have a very high speed, and can moreover be made to mount with exceptional rap- idity, thanks to a special defice of the rudder. Thev conduct their bom- bardments at heights of 10,000 to 12,000 feet, and so are pretty well in- vulnerable to anti-aircraft guns. Their speed is so great that 20 min- utes after leaving Ostend they are over Margate and Ramsgate. Going and coming, the journey to London takes only an hour and a quarter. Not being meant for fighting, these ma- chines ares accompanied by water- planes for their defence. Europe has often carried war into China, and China has sent war _into ¥urope.

Schaefer, one of Germany's star aviators who had been credited with the destruction of thirty airplanes be- longing to the Allies, is the subject of a bulletin issued by the National Geo- graphic Society which say “Krefeld, the great silk and velvet manufacturing center of Rhenish Prussia. from _which America and England annually received $5.000,000 worth of these fabrics before the war, s one of the most progressive of mod- ern German municipalities Its pop- ulation at the outbreak of the war was 120,000, having increased fourfold dur- ing the iast hal? of the 19th century. “Unlike most cities dating from medieval times (the first mention of it the annals of the 12th cen- ), Krefeld s always an open town. The four great boulevards which enclose it form a great rectan- gle instead of a circle, such as the boulevards which have replaced the fortifications of walled cities “The city is situated three miles from the Rhine on the left bank and is 24 miles northwest of Cologne and 13 miles northwest of Dusseldorf. It water commerce passes through the large harbor of Linm. which it owns. “The prosperity of Krefeld is atiri- buted to the fact that it offered an asylum to Protestants and Mennon!tes in the 15th and 17th centuries. These peoples. fleeine from religious perse- cution, brought with velvet, iinen and stk weaving, the last named being introduced from Hol- land in the 18th century. Now or at least in the prosperous times just be- fore the outbreak of the war, there were more than 20,000 looms in opera- tion in the city. producing fabrics valued at $20.000,000 annually. Other industrial activities of the communi- ty included the manufacture of cellu- lose, chemicals, leather, dyes. carpcér, cravats, cotton goods and machinery. The Krefeld technical school for the ztudy of the textile industry is world- “amous and in times of peace enrolls students from many countries ‘Three miles to the south of the city is the Gradbach road, a memorial «f the battle of Krefeld in which Fred- erick the Great's general the Duke of Brunswick, defeated the French {curing the Seven Years' War. “From a sentimental standpoint Krefeld derives its chief importance to the people of Gérmany from the fact hat it was here that Karl Wilhelm, composer of the national air, “Die Wacht Am Rhein,” was living at the time that he gave that music to Prus- sia. Wilhelm was born at Schmalkal- dan in 1815 but for 25 vears (1840 to 1565) he was a music teacher and director at Krefell, where a monu- ment has been erccted to his memory.” Views of the Vigilantcs MIXING POLITICS AND RELIGION By Hermann Hagedorn of The Vigi- lante: “The Messenger of Peac (“Der Friedensbote’) is the dovelike title of a religious weekly published in Et. Louis by the German Evangelical Sy- rod of North Amerfca. It prints on its front page two biblical texts, a pious poem and two eermons, and contains in each issue, besides these, a number of religious articles, reports on domestic and foreign missions, and one or two pices of Sunday school fiction. At the énd of each issue it contains furthermore a department entitled “Aus Welt and Zeit.” In this department is given in brief words the week's news from the four corners of the earth. It is here that the Cloven Hoof appears. Here is a sample of the tone of the editorial notes printed in this sec- tion of a religious weekly: “Our yellow press has recently been epeaking with particular glee of “‘for- eign language papers.” Well, isn't English a foreign language? We hope that no one would assertethat it had &rown up on American sofl. It comes from anotker, from a foreign land. The fact that English is the language of the courts makes no difference. After ail, English is only a German dialect anyway. Where Aid the An- gles and the Saxons come from?" On the same page with this gem of erudition is an article quoted from Friedrich Naumann's__ “The rman Soul in the World War,” explaining and upholding German militariem. The following page is devoted to advertisements of four books, glorify- ing the heroic exploits of the “Em- den,” the “Ayesha,” the “Deutschland” and of -Zeppoling over England.” It is noteworthy that, whereas these ad- vertisements have nothing to do with religion, they do make excellent pro- paganda for Germany. The “Friedensbote”’ is not the first religious paper which the German Government_has used for its own sec- ular ends. In Strand House, London, there is a room devoted entirely to books, magazines and pamphlets pre- pared by Germany to be scattered over creation. Every language and many dialects are represented, and practi- cally every. religion of 'the world is there used as a medium of pro-Ger- man arguments. The German armies are no greater menace to the freedom of the world than this insidious invasion of news- papers and magazines by German pro- paganda.
