That such is the case, though it should not be, is no better demon- MORE DESTROYERS, As the resujt of the war activities the of the destroyers has been fully demonstrated. There are a most valuable part of a nation’s navy and the submarine menace has shown the mecessity of a jarge num- ber of these speedy and effective ves- sels for the special work of patroll- ing the shipping lames amd of con- voying the troop ships which are threatened by the underwater boats. Thus when the secretary of the navy comes forth with an appeal for a third of a billion dollars in order to provide for the construction of a greater number of these ships, even to the point of making this country the leader in this respect, it must be realized that the demand is a con- sistent ome. It is a move which is inspired not only by the present sit- uation in Europe but which is one of the sound steps in behalf of protec- tion. With the extensive coastline of this country it cannot have too many of these kind of warships. Our safe- ty lies in the utmost preparation along these lines and the quicker the work can be accomplished the quick- er can this country experience the sense of relief which goes with the securing of effective watchdosgs. The sum which is asked is not to be used solely in the construction of such_vessels, but in the provjding of the facilities tg such an end. The Tnited States needs more and better shipbuilding plants and engine fac- tories. Its handicap in- this respect has been displaved too frequently and the time is now ripe for overcoming it and eliminating this danger once and for all. THE RIGA DRIVE. It is only a few days since dis- tressing news was sent ‘out from Washington to the effect that advices had been received by this government, which caused increased anxiety to be felt over the Russian situation. This was accompanied by the report that the Germans had opened an offensive against the Russians with Riga as the immediate objective, but with Indi- cations that it would be pushed on to Petrograd Interest has therefore heen cen- tered upon developments in connec- tion therewith, for as might be ex- pected such caused no little concern, but as vet there has been little in the way of & disclosure as to what might be involved in the advices, and there has on the other hand been slightly more to throw light upon the claim that Germany is intending any such extensive operations as were in- dicated. It is possible that the Wash- ington report was put forth sim to pave the way for developments which are likely to take place in that eountry. but the drive in_the north- ern end of the line has evidently fallen through or else it was not seriousl undertaken. Germany eould strike and strike 1 hard towards Riga just now, it co unquestionably cause much trouble, but neither side in the reports give evidence that ‘such an offensive zotten heyond the stage of con- tempiation, for Germany at present is experiencing serfoys difficultics on stern front and azain in the dun region, but it has a way of & advantage of weak spots in an line and if Russia can such move and prevent ion as had developed i it must realize that this i the time to do it GIVE US SHIPS. It is of course recognized by this me that it is-easier to ask conzri for a billion, or even a2 m . tha t is to met the appropriation throush rezardiess of the urgency of the de- mand. But it must be appreciated that the country has been furnished with substantial evidence to the ef- fect that It cannot pnt forth foo much effort In behalf of more ships It is highly important that ther should be proper means of transport- tiously and safely as possible. It i equa \ccessary that there should be ships for carrying the necessary supplies to them after they are land- ed in France and throughout their star in that country. And it is vital that this country should have vessels ith which to carry supplies to iis allies and that it should do its ut- most to break down the submarine menace. We need more ships under normal conditions but with the U-hoats stead- i1y depleting those possessed, we must do our utmost to make good the losses. It ought not therefore to occasion any surprise when it is an- nounced that the shipping board has sent an estimate to the secretary of the treasury for 1270 more ships as a basis for an appropriation of a Bil- lion dollars. The vessels which are going to be secured under the e ing appropriation are going to be of sreat value in solving the shipping problem, but they will not be suffi- cient. More vessels will be required and it is not a bit too early to make the preliminary plans for obtaininz e necessary appropriations to meet such requirements. EDITORIAL NOTES. These are the days when it is well to ask the price of articles before making the purchase, if surprises are to be forestajled.

Each soldier in a modern army car- ries with him sufficient food, cloth- ing, shelter, fighting arms, and ammu- nition to take care of himself for a short period in case he should be sep- arated from his company. The total weight of his load, in addition to the clothes he wears, is 50 to 70 pounds. ‘The number of articles is surprisingly large. They are so devised, however, that by ingenious methods of packing 2nd adjusting they can all be carried with the least possible effort. You are personally responsible for ail the arms, . clothing and supplies is- sued to you. The trained soldier keeps track of them. He knows immediately at any time where every one of his be- longings is to be found. You are re- quired to keep them in good condition. In case you neej other articles, they may be issued to vou; but their value in that case will be deducted from your 1ext pay. You Will recefve on enlistment an a2mple supply of clothing, including not only your uniform, but extra shoes, shirts, underclothes, and socks. You may not be able alawss to keep vour clothing spotless clean. Rut When it becomes dirty or spoited take the first opportunity to clean it thoroughly. Your shoes must he cleaned and pol- ished frequently. Wet shoes should be carefully dried. Army men frequintly dry their shoes during the night by faling a few handfulsgof dry, eclean Vpebbles, heating them in a meat can or kettle until they are very hot, and then placing them in the shoes. So long as the pebbles are hot move them about onee in a while by shaking the shoes. Take care not to heat the pebbles so hot that the shoes will be scorched. In general, see to it that clothing is as neat and clean as pos sible at all times. Mend rips and se on buttops without delay. This will add to your comfort as well as ap- pearance. - Wear your hat straight. Don’t affect the “smart aleck” style of tiiting the hat. Keep all buttons fastened. Have ¥our trousers and lesgins properly jaced. Keep yourself ctean shaved. Carry yourself ‘like a soldier. Bear in mind that there is a tenden- cy in camp life for men to become careless and untidy. You must use every means to counteract this ten- denoy. For this purpose the customs and regulations of the army empha- size the necessity for personal neat- ness and cleanliness.

Besides his extra clothing a soldier carries u blanket, a rubber noncho, a canteen, a mess kit. inclnding meat can, knife, fork and spoon. a cup, toilet articles, a first aid packagze, and some minor belongings.
