The sending out of the question- naires to those who have registered under the draft law, and who have not been called for service, means that those who recelve them must give their best thousht and attention to | filling them out and doing it prompt- iy within the time allotted. That it is Tecogmized that it is mo simpie task is evidenced by the state- ment of the provost marshal general when he declares that the application of ordinary intelligence to the business of understanding the questions and of giving correct answers to them will resolve nearly all difiulties for men of average experience and giental pen- stration, for they nearly all indicate that there are points where the ave- sage man may bé expected to fall Sown. But this possibility has been anticipated by securing the services of lawyers in cvery district, who have volunteered their help, and to whom the registrants are at liberty to ap- pea for advice. In view therefore of the large num- ber who must fill out these question- naires and get them back within the specified time it behooves all regls- trants to get busy on their work as soon as the guestionnaires are re- ceived. Those who delay and find that they dre goinz to need help in answer- ing the questions will simply be pil- ing up their troubles with a lot of thers and in the last few days will overwheim those who are willing to five their assistance but who canmot aBd ought not to be expected to ac- complish the impossible in a day of two, when prompt attention on the part of the registrants would pre- vent all such confusion. As in sther things it is a good idea to start early and avold the rush. NORTH SEA CONVOYS. Not a little criticism has been made 8¢ the British navy right at home over its inactivity. Whether this has mll ybeen justified is questionable, = but * there nly seems to be good rea- son for demanding an explanation as o why so many convoys of neutral ;hips are getting so little protection. | With the latest raid by German ge- istroyers which caused the destructign eleven vessels, including ome de. istroyer and several trawlers it was iclearly demonstrated that inadequite iprotection was provided for these eargo {earrying ships, and this in spite of the iprevious instances which showed this ‘very condition to exist. There can be mo doubt but what neutral vessels bound to or from British ports need 210 be safeguarded by warships but it ‘s been shown on three ofvasjons at it was as unwise to send them i orth under improper protection as it Mwould have been to have permitte; them to have sailed without an$ con- ‘voying vessels whatever. Last October a number of traders .was causht By a couple of raid: ‘German light craisers and the v the destrovers accompanying ftheri were destroyed. More recently “Dutch vessels were similarly treated the British coast and now the rick has again been repeated. ; Hestroyers against two made an ‘equal fight, but it is sifown that the ‘German vessels can get past the Urit- 3#h blockade fleet and when they do they are superior in numbers or size 20 the warships they encounter. This reveals a situation which calls for & remedy and at once. There is more to contend with than submarines as Geérmany has cleverly shown THE BOSTON ELECTION. Second only to the contest in New York was the mayoraity fight in the ity of Boston. Conditions in the two cities were not the same but theére were similar methods employed in bringing about the resulf, which in the case of Boston gives exceflent promise of overcoming the conditions which have been the cause of £o mifeh mn during the past few years. w J. Peters, running as a nom- number of voters from the Curley ranks which might not otherwiss have been obtained by the mayor-elect. A united opposition is usually re- garded as a winner but in this case the strength of the Curley forees was reduced by placing several candidutes in opposition, each one serving to draw upon those voters who might not have been willing to give their support to the other fellow, but the result was that of which it is believed Boston will have feason to be proud. 'They have unquestionably selécted the best man ana_ while the task which he faces is by no means an easy one it {can be anticipated that he will put forth his bést endeavors to give Bos- ton #he kind of an administration which it ought to have. USE THE WATER ROUTES. Repeated feference s made to the fact that the cause of the coal short- age is due to laék of transportation facilitfes. The railroads are rushed with businéss as never befors. They are confronted with other difficulties than simply hauling coal cars. There are demands for propsrily distributing food supplies, supplies for the sol- dters abfoad and oGf allies, raw ma- terial for the industries at work upon government orders. In each of these instances. the ery for increased rail- road facilities is as great as for the movement of more coal traims. Whether we will réceive any benme- At from the large orders which have been placed for railroad equipment in- tended for Russia femains to be scen. ‘The shipment of the cars and locomo- tives intended for that cotntry is for the time being halted and unless con- ditions ih that country change it is probable that this equipment will be diverted_to the improvement of our own railread faeilities which are being taxed as never before. But while there s need for bettering the railroad facillties, sight should not be lost of the fact that there is as big an opportunity for improving trans- portation by water, and this is particu- larly true when It comes to getting coal to the New England states. In- stead of placiig the whole burden up- on the roads the water routes should be utilized in every possible way. Fv- ery cargo of conl means the release of many more coal cars for service from the mines to the seaboard and rrom the tidewater points in New Eng- land to the interior cities. The water service should mever have been ne- zlecteq as it has been. FIXING SUGAR PRICES. One sugar refiner says we could get plenty of sugar if allowed to pay the price and there are those who claim that we can get plenty of coal if we will pay the price, but that is where the trouble lies In the unjustified jack- ing up of the price, which it is main- tained is unneécessary and the whole trouble Might just as well be fousght out on that basi: It comes a little hard on -the consumer but he should be the zainer in the end. The prac- tice of.profiteering might just as weil be ended now. Mr. Spreckels says that sugar we could have had has been going to Canada. Ve know that thousands of tons /of sugar w ‘h we had have been sent to Fronce. We permitted the shipments nroross the water to take eafe of the wants of those who tere far worse off than we were, or thah we were: likedy to be. What would have happened if the sugar refiners had been allowed to pay any price which they desired in order to get raw sugar? There would have been a grand scramble to tie up ail available supplies ‘by constantly increasing offers There aré thosé who would have done their utmost to have cornered the trade but even if that was not possible the consumer can see himself paving all sorts of fabulous prices for the swectening for his cof- fee. - He has had plenty of experience in this direction and sugar after the series of boosts would have been just as dificult to get as it Is now for the poor man. The price fixing shut off the profits as it was intended Not- withstanding Mr. Spreckels we cannot see but what Mr. Hoover was right. The consumer certainly hasn't been gouged and he hasn’t realiy suffered. He has had to meet an unusual situa- tion but he is better off for it. EDITORIAL NOTES. These are of course trying days, but evervbody is looking forth cheer- fully to an early spring. It begins to look as if we were get- ting to the point where Santa Claus would have to be relied uppn to bring us coal. Now dissase is speeding up in an endeavor to overtake the auto in driv- = the faithful horse off this mun- dane sphere. . Keep the promises, produce.the coal and then there will be plenty of time to determine where the trouble was and impose the penalty. From the way In which congress is launching out into investigations there is no telling when the session will be trought to an end if they are all fin- ishode > The. man an in the coldest who _insist hésiery that through. The suggestion that wood be used instead of coal will probably mean that that fuel will Zo out of sight in price unless the administtatoregets busy on the price fixing.

Pill boxes which dre not one in” by the big guns in the preliminary bémbardment are rushed by the infantry and a grenade is drop- ped through pne of the loop-holes. An attack"on a _little section of German line a few days ago illustrat- ed the anti-pill béx technique. The attack was made under deésperate weather ‘conditions. A cold wind cut through the ‘men’'s drenched clothing and heavy rain drops stung their numbed (aces.

Satterlee of The Vigi- tantes. One of the first lessons that we ing live mem- | Fave learned from the War with Ger- many is the necessity of adopting a national policy of universal military training and service under exclusive Jederal control. The facts connected with the Selective Draft prove this. The number of young men who Were found physically defective—that s, who lacked some of the physical re- Guirements of the modern soldler— fhowed that too lttie attention hgd been given to physical development, %r that defects of sight, hearing, posture, gte. had been neglected, in childhood ond had lessencd%the eciency of the men. Military training ould have prevented this 1n great part and would have made the boys not only better fitted for soldiering when the call came, but healthier and consequently more’ efficient in civil life. The Se- lective Draft also showed the necessi- ty for Universal Military Service. There Is now no objection or argu ment that this service should be un- der , exclusive Federal control, al- though the prévious training may be conducted by the States. Some states ke New York. have already provided by legiglation for phyeical training undér the public school system, and every state may well adopt such a samer ot 1 iy Sheniing senss e.” Nof any slig] sense or spirft of triviality, but because it certain characteristics that are the characteristics of a game.
