Storrow, the fuel dministrator for New England, tells jecretary Daker of the wur depart- nent that hundreds of millions of ollars’ worth of clothing and war aupitions cannot be carried to com- iletion at the present rate of ccai upply for this part of the country he ndulged in no exaggeration. New ingland has received many prom- ses but what it needs as Mr. Storrow is “immediate, real, practical re- lef” either by rall or water. It should be realized by this time hat inedequate attention has been iven to the New England states. Vben it was possible to move coal w water the tugs and coal carryving esseis were withdrawn for other ser. ice and the burden placed upon the vercrowded railroads. The wants € the northwes:i were suppiied when he weather conditions wero the most dvantageous. Thousht was given > the neceds there beiore the freeze- D came, but such has not been thc ase with New Enzland as has been vident for a number of weeks and ¢ strikingly shown by the flect of sal barges storm hound by an east- fly gale and zero temperature in ong Island sound and by the cloc- & of the inland waters to naviza- ©on. all of which mizht have heen volded by the shipment «f the fuel arlier in the season. The negleot f the water transportation has been serious handicap to the railroads nd to this part of the country. The me is apparently here ‘when great- reliance must be placed upon the ulroads and with them under the peration of the government whatever bstacles that have been in the way ! 3 better movement of coal to New ngland ought to be speedily over- sme. The people and the industries, teluding those cngzaged in war work, ‘e suffering from the lack of it. ENEMIES WITHIN. Fore many months this country has *en aware of the danger which ex- 2ed from the activities of the agents ! the enemy Ia this country. This as apparent before the United States atered the war, but it has been even| ore 50 since a state of war was de- ared with Germany. Efforts have 'm made to locate and intern those ho have been taking aa: antage. of teir positions to work for the benefit ! their native land and using it by ibotage, bomb and fire plots and ing to embarrass this country, and ) far as possible make useless its ar preparations. That the location of such individ- us cannot be too closely pursuea is - ade evident by the arrest of a prom- ent engineer in ome of the import- it aerc plants of the country and nce then the indictment of ennig, a German foreman in a tor- :do-making plant in Brookiyn, on © charge of making useless for any fensive operations the torpedoes for ® mavy and because of the tamper- & making them dangerous for the ips which fre them. Hennig held ' important job of keeing that the Meate parts of the missles were in wrfect condition which gave him the ance to make them defective. He is been in the country for a matter | ten years and was naturalized less an a year ago, which step appears | have been taken for the purpose ! removing suspicion. With such cases being brought to :ht, however, it is quite evident that ere cannot be too careful scrutiny ! all those residents of the country ho are in sympathy with the ene- v. The quicker such can be done e greater will be tho benefit to the tlon. We have zot to root out the ~mies within before we can effi- ntly fight those without. e st B i OLDING UP THEIR OWN RELIEF When complaints continve to come »m Norway and Sweden to the of- :t that the embargo on the exports this country are seriously affecting em, it would appear to De time for em to look at home and sce if they s doing everythinz possible to give is country the confidence that “is tufred in order te pernrit the good dich they néed to go to them. [t should be realized by those coun- s, 1t it has not been in the past, at the United States has decided o8 and for all that it is not going | permit its supplies, which can all ke utilized by itself and its allles, to Fo to the neutral nations which have been helping the ememy in the past and which will not give sufficient as- surance that the goods which would be released for their use, or their equivalent, will not be turned over to the enemy. That is what the whole cmbargo hinges on. There are countrles which have come to this understanding. They are getting ascertain amount of goods from this country even though they are contiguous to Germany, and they are receiving it because they ara in need of that help and are wiiling to give assurance that Germany will not profit therecby. From the way In which Norway and Sweden have suf- fered from the acts of Germany it would scem that they would be tco 5lad to meet such conditions and when they do the supplies whieh they seek in this country will go forward. The remedy lies in their own hands as they have been repeatedly told. MUST $HAVE DISCIPLINE. Much interest is bound to be mani- fested in the action whieh is taken the officials at Camp Devens re- zarding the cases of those members of the camp who left for their homes hout leave for Christmas. There e 200 or more who will be brought hefora a court martial for the deter- mination of the punishment which they shall receive for their action. ven thoush they had been given to understand that they would be per- mitted to zo home it is a fact never- theless that such a privileze was not obtained and passes were not issued. No one will cantgnd that they in- tendeqd to desert for most of them returned on their own initi some within a few hours after they ft, but the fact remains howaver defled the camp author as they pleased with a tanding that they would be subject to the penalty for such an sive. Mrjor Wainwright, chief of staff at Camp Devens, puts the matter plainiy when he savs “These men, and others in this camp, must be brought to a realization of the fact that they are soldiers, that being such is not boy’s play, and that the main- tenance of absolute discipline is the most important feature of army ser- vice. If we are to become victors over the German army ours must be at least as perfect an organization as theirs, and it never can become such unless there is a full appreclation of alue of discipline ana obedience he part of every irdividual sol- To most of the camp the import- ance of discipiine fs apparently well understood and to those who do not realize it or snap their fingers at it It must be taught ang the time to do it is in tha beginning. It eannot be expected that some will live up to the rules and others be aliowed to do as they please. TIME TO PREVENT FIRES. With the extreme cold weather ana the indication that it will continue for a day or two longer many housshold- ers are bound to have endless trou- ble with their water and sower pipes, 2nd in that connectlon it is bound to mean that many will be called upon to thaw out frozen pipes. When dona in the proper way, euch as with hot water, cloths wrung out in boiling water er by the plumber, there is mo danger, but there is an excellent ance of fire when the householders attempt to do the thawing by holding candles or lighting papers under wa- terpipes, especially when they are in close proximity to woodwork, and it hould be realized that there is no worse time for starting a fire or for fichting one than when tie mercury is hovering about the zere mark. At this son there is likewise rea- son for the use of ra precantion n preventing fires 1 stoves. The necd of sufficient fue] prompts the kee in doing so ercised so that the dznger of burn- Ing down the house, cr tae making of conditions much worse than they would be if proper attention was given to the matter, will be overcome. There can be little question but what if sufficient thought is given to such matters and the public does its part in fire prevention that serious fire losses and much increased suffer- ing can be averted. Safety first should be kept to the front at a time ke this. EDITORIAL NOTES.

With coa] supplies short this would appear to be a good time to give some aitention to the matter of utilizing the moonlight for saving fuel. We hear so little about Mexican af- fairs nowadays that one might sup- pose that that republic had been at peace with itself for years and years. It is predicted that a billion dollars will be saved by the government con- trol of railroads. Every bit of econ- omy of that kind is preferable to tax- ation.

There is no question but what Japan is able to do it.

Coal may be saved by keaping an oven fire 50 the rooms will not become overheated. At times when the rooms are not occupied, the heat should be shut off from them, in case you nse a furnace. Fires should ba carsfully banked at might. so that they will not allow the house to become chilled. Coal shoulM be rut in often and in not too large quantities at s time. Keep 2 full bed of live coals constantly, but be careful not to ovarload the fire with teo much coal. If the furnace has an open, coarse grate, use coarse coals. If it bas a fine grate, use fine ecal. It is wasteful to throw large, heavv chunks of ceal into the furnace. Thke Tumps should not he larger than three or four inches in dsimater. ANl large pieces shonld be broken. Frequent stirsing of the fire is wasteful, as pieces only par- Gally burned fall through the grate. PITCHER FOR BATTER. In filling gem” pans with Datter of any kind, Go not use a spoon, Mut the batter from a smaH pitcher. The work is more easily and quickly done, and neater, too, for with the spoon drops are quite apt to fail onto the ta- ble or side of pan. WHEN CHINA !S MOVED.

A great deal of narrow braid is seen on straight dresses. ‘Black velvet is the most fashion- able fabric for millinery. Backs of blouses nowadays are a interesting as the fronts. A practical navy serge dress is a necessity of every wardrobe. Many of the new skirts are trimmed with a wide band between the hips and the bottom of the hem. Reindeer is a popular shade.
