There are five ;more days in which the remaining amount can be subscribed for and subscrip- tions ought to be flowing In so free- iy that there will be no question as to the outcome. The money is needed by the government. must be had for the purpose of siving the soldiers mnd sailors their proper support, for the- extension of aid to our allies who are now fighting for us and for the provision of the enormous amount of food and fighting material. The money will have to be obtained some- lhow. If it is not done throush a loan it will have to be secured through taxation. One ought not to be obiiged to figure on that problem very iong before he realizes that the loan, which means ‘the extension of the use of his money with interest to the gov- ernment, s preferable There is no beiter way in which we can show the strenzth of this coun- try and the manner in which it stands back of the government in the conduct of the war than by the successful floating of these bonds. There is a part which every one can play. It is not desired that the rich should pro- vide all the money. Each and every one can for the most part. help through the purchase of one bond, es- peclally under the easy ierms which are offered by banking institutions. Patriotism should be sufficient to ob- taln the desired amount without straining resources or seriously af- fecting earnings, but in addition there is the investment feature which can- not .be overlooked. After having a casualty .list of eight and a quarter million men, Germany has raised-over three billion on its seventh loan. This country certainly ought to do twice as well on its second. CHANGES IN DRAFT PROCEDURE Profiting from the experience which has been had in connection with the selective draft as applied thus far, it is not surprising that plans have al- Teady been made for correcting the errors and injustices. It was mot maintained that perfection had been secured at the start. It was realized that it was a new ster and therefore an experiment, so that the existence of inconsistencies was likely. Such is the usual course before a standard can be adopted. But having put the provisions of the law into practice it has been Dos- sible to determine where the trouble and misunderstanding lies and it is with the idea of correcting these and bringing the law up to the proper degree of efficiency that those in charze of its administration have been st work. As the law was enforced and differ- ent interpretations placed upon the multitude of rules, it became appar- ot that what was being done in one district was not being followed in an- other. Even added explanations of the rules were not sufficient to over- come the situation, but having ex- perienced and recorded these troubles and having gotten the machinery oil- €d up 30 that it can be told where it binds or works improperly it is time that the remedy was applied. It has. become apparent that the system can be much improved by a classification of the eligibles before the examinations are made, so that those who have grounds for exemp- tion Lecause of dependents or because of .industrial activities will be sorted out from thase who have not and be placed where they will be the last to o, if in fact they go at all. When a second call will be made has not been determined but i: is fair to presume that when it does take place many of the weak spots of the past will have been eliminated and all boards will have a better and a more uniform course to follow. RUSSIA’S TROUBLES. While Russia appears to be going backward in some directions Shere are others which offer much encour- agement. This is revealed by the re- port which comes from that country| ito the effect that new munition plants /have been established in the interior iof that country which possess the |most modern equipment and which ‘are highly efficient in the production {of goods.

NEW ENGLAND'S NERn. New England has ajways been look-| ed upon as one of the important man- ufacturing sections of the country. It holds that position today and it is extensively engaged in'the production of goods which are mecessary for the. equipment of the army asd navy. The industrial activity of the .New Eng- land states is so vijal. to the natipm and to its part in the war that no in. terruption thereof can be Dgrmitted. While thers is some water power used in that connection, it is te be realized that coal is required to Lkeep the factories golng. With the mills and factories running fuil time, with Iincreased help and in not a few cases on a 24 hour schedule ft must be realized that the cansymption . of coal is above normal, but without this fuel one of the worst handicaps that could be placed upen the industries would result. There {s no questiori but what there is coal enough to be had if the trans- portation facilities were able to meet the demands. The railroads are do- ing @ greater business in this direc- tion than ever before, but where the and’ what ‘is- going .to cause a shortage if oné actually foi- lows, is the lack of shipping. Vess which have been engaged in this bus- iness ‘have been withdrawn for other purposes. They are doubtipss needed in other ways but hew g the country going to get the benefit from these great manufacturing states if the fuel for running their plants is denfed them? This is a matter which ecan not be placed any too émphatically before the fuel adminisirator. It is o situation which calls’ for the most se- rious consideration and at once. . RAILROAD TROUSBLES. No sooner does one phase of the railroad troubles clear up than an- other is projected, so ‘mueh so that there appears to be Ho end to the day when the raiiroad. employes will be asking for increased wages or the railroads will stop asking for in- creased rates. The lafter does not always follow from the former alone but cvery time it costa the roads more for operation expenses it is io be realized that the roads must get the mcney with which to meet the added-sum from those who do busi- ness with them. gl It was not long ago that the rail- roads were denied the Yate increase which they sought, but were given a part of what they asked. Now they are again appealing to the inter- stale commerce commission for an- other raise, but right on the heels of that petition and hefore action has been taken on it one way or the other the representatives of the condme- tors’ and tralnmen’s organizations ilave voted to ask for an inerease of 20 per cent. in their wages at the coficlusion of their present iagree- ment -next June. - This of course it can be anticipated will be ratifed by the referendum,” but it only makes it apparent that_if the roads should get the relief which they are asking for now they will have the best of grounds for seekins * another boost next year, for while only part of their employes have as vet sighified their desire for more wages it be safe- ly expected that the others will do likewise. The present action is prob- ably only a forerunner of what is to come, for if part of them need it the Test do and there ought to'be mo ais- crimination if increases are to sTanted. And when it conies to fair- ness that is what ‘the rajfireads also have a right to expect. .

Mr. Editor: At the invitation of the directors of the British and Foreign Sailors’ Society I have undertaken to issue a special appeal on behalf of the great national work carried on by the soclety for our sailors and for those who are dear to them. FHer jesty, Queen Alexandra, has gracious Iy expressed her approval of the ap peal, and her earnest hope that it will receive the generous support of the British peopie. The British and Foreign Sail clety is about to complete its dredth year of service and a sum of not less than 250,000 pounds will be needed t5 ensure the continuance of its beneficent agencies. The success with which this work has been car Another Blast From T. D. and H. Mr. Editor: American Citizen and a few others of clymsy screed, no doubt would like to be lcoked upon as the final arbiter in everything that con- cerns the wellfare of Ireland. They are really what might be called a mosaic of medlocrity, and they are in the’ depths of disappointment be- cause they are balked in their desire to show me.. ,The principles pro- pounded in a burst of oratory show they see red and thirst for the blcod of al} who do not believe blindly as: they do. Let them know that if the war should end without giving Ire- !and freedom, the Irish question will remain to trouble England and d turb the world until it is aettled ac- cording to the wishes of the Irish people. The Irish cause has survived the .utmost efforts of England to stamp it our for more than seven centuries and it will go on with increasing and unflagging vigor untll victory finally perches on its banners. No matter what is said or dome, the American people sympathize with it yef.
