Like other parts of the country New York is suffering from a lack of coal. it isn't very far from the coal ficld vet it has not been and is not now re- ceiving all the fuel that it requires even under an economical use thercof. Different methods have been employed in order to tide over the situation, int viuding the ordlering of a curtailment of display lights six nights in the week, leaving one night when as much roal a8 is desiréed can be burned fo: the purpose of making the great white way blaze forth in all its dazzling brightness. This may mean that but one-seventh of the usual amount of fuel is beihg empioyed for such a pur- pose but it is quite evident that a waste is taking place which is not| i o. even justified under the existing state| .y of affairs. Whether New York saves 30 or more tons of coal a night i order there is no zood r when pcor familles are without com or heat, when it c2anot get sufficient toal to sdpply the necessary requirc- ments and when it is seizing barge- toads of coal which are destined to New England points, thero sheuid not b% a shutting of the m\ncnssarv lighting every night in the weels, is unjust that New York or any \fln for that matter should bs permitted to ‘ontinue to waste fuel when other: are actuaily suffering from the iack of it, #nd it would seem to be high time for tive authorities to come to a recorni- tion of this infustice. To think of coal being used in the metropolis ta oper- ite display signs when industries in|q New England engaged on war o¥d: aré foreed to curtail operations and homes are without coal is decidedly wrong. WATERPOWER LEGISLATION. A matter which calls for eonsiderate attention is that to which the presi- dent refers when he calls for the ear- ly adoption of a legislative policy for the development of the enormous wa- terpower resources of this country. While we are endeavoring to make the best use of other facilities and doing out utmost te overcome waste, it shonld be realized that there is no greater opportufrity before congress thar that offered to establish a policy to deal with this question promptiy and effectively. On previous occssions efforts have been made to enact a law which will encourage such development. Such attemapts have met with failure and today the streams which are capable of furnishing anywhere from 35,000,- 000 to 50,000,000 horsepower for indus- tries, public utilities and other uses are unharnessed. The country is in need of just such power as it never was before. It canmet get this help any teo soon and it is to be hoped that congress will glve more serious eon- sideration to the matter than it has ever dons befére. The situation is much ‘the same as If we knew that there were great resources of cosl which could be utilized but which were untapped and yet no effort was made to make them dvailagle for the needs of the nation. Even after con- gress establishes a definite policy in regard to the great waterpower privi- leges it will be some time before elec- trical energy is developed there, but It is neveftheless time to make a start 2nd if it was necestary to wait for the presient's advocacy that has now seen suppiied. THE LOSS OF THE LUCKENBACH. In conheéction with the mews of the sinking of another American steam- ship, the Harry Luckenbach, from which eight of the erew are missing no details are given as to the circum- stances or where the torpedoing toock place. The vessel was by no means a néw cne, having been built in 1881, but it was nevertheless serviceable afd represents a tonnage loss just as much as if it had been buiit 1ast year. That it was not & speedy vessel is con- clusively shown by the announcement that it made but ten knots an hour and right there is one of the greatest causes for surprise in conmection with its loss. Blow vessels are always the easiest prey of the underwater boats. It is possible for the submersible to ma- noeuver about them so as to make sure of getting their victim where they % it in order to send home the tor- fand they usually suceeed. That { handling of the freight problemy there 'I-condifion were called upon to porform 'in the fact that the bolsheviki have because of a dack of speed and yet gome of them might under proper con- ditions do as well as the Luckesbach #id, and whil¢ that vessel was running a greater rigk to itself becausg of its speed it was likewise endangering the other vessels in the convoy, ex that they were all of the same clasg This vesssl was the fourth of the same lin¢ t0 bé sk and there seems to be rea gon for the belef that their loss was largely attributable to the faet that they were toa slow for such work. INCREASE IN DEMURRAGE. ‘In order fo free more locometives and crews for the purpose of better | has been a 20 per cemt. reduetion in the passenger trains on the eastern roads, and the rumning time of the qther passenger traims will be so chaniged as to facilitate the movement of freight. This is tho most‘'drastic|P! mMovE of the Kind that Nas Béen rhade aithough there have been seversl in- stances where passenger trains whieh did not sePVe & large huifiber were iopped off for the same reason. Had the roads themselves attemipted amy such whalesale siashing of train ser- viee it ean be imagined what a howl wouid have gone up from all over tke affected country, but with the govern- ment in control hardly a whimper is heald. It is redlized beoause the govern- ment has @one it that it is necessary and it is accepted as vital to the nation’s requirements, which is well But in addition to this curtailment there is soon fo go into effect a big Inereass in demwrrage rdtes so that those who hold freight ears beyond fhe limit of the two free-days willje have gréater reason for realizing that they are not only cemtributing to the freight congestion but that it is eost- ing them something. / This move is en- tirely justified. The loading and un- loading of freight dars has been al- lowed to eccupy too much time simply because insufiicicnt attention has been given to it and the increase in the de- murrage rates has been forced by the inability to get shippers and receivers of freight to expedite their work. Big demurrage rates should cause’ the proper attention to be given this mat- ter. DRAFT LAW CONSTITUTIONAL. Nothinz but what was expected was contained in the decision of the Unit- ed States suprcme couré when it upheld the constitutionality of the draft law. The court of last resort was asked to hear and decide upon this matter as eariy as possible and it has dono fo. It was never seriously ‘believed that the result wowld be oth- erwise than what it is. Thore who attacked the Jaw’s constitutionality did so for the purposs of embarrassing the government and dodging if possible the rendition of serviea to their conntry which others of their age and physical and are now rendering. W there is a dteporiticn to Gpnozé a law there rush to att: its con~ but thare far less |chance of success in this ease than v others where such action has heen instituted. The early deciston of the court wiil likewise serve to frus- trate the purpose of those who had hop=d to escipe from the provisions of the draft law through tho delay which carr osdinarily be anticipated in bandling matters brought it when taken up in the order of their present- ment. Thus these who Bad hoped that the decision would not be forthcom- inz unti] after the war was over are naturally much disappointed. But it ie well to overcome any doubt which might be raised by the opponents and to have it eradicated at this early date. Congress, according to the constitu- n. as the court peints out, is given nffiority to ratee and suppert armies, That authority covery a wide field and armies for the most part are made up of men so that the contention that the draft is unconstitutional must be congldered as disposed of rar good and all. EDITORIAL NOTES. The faet that a fellow has his cegl- lar full of ceal does not justify wasting it just to humiliate his neigh- bor. et i i The man on the corner says: The best cherity is that which fills a hun- gry mouth without first analyzing thg| tamily tree. It begins to look frém a long dis- tance as if the belsheviki were plan- ning to show that they are not too proud to fight. It doeen’t do much goed to claim that quantities of coal are on the way. It simply 4dds to the indignation when it fails to arrive. There is a lot of heat in ali the talk that iz being engaged in regarding coal but it doesn't produce much household warmth. These are the days when everyone should be on the lookout for the har- bingers of spring. And what a wel- come that season will get. Thae entente nations are interested closed the peace door, but they would be more concerned if they had actusily nailed it up. [PeaE—— = It will be with surprise that most people learn that there are over 25,- 000 Americans fighting with the Ca- nadians and British who had enlisted before this country entered the war. A good many of the soldiers are disappointed at the seléctions for/the officers’ training camp, but that only means that the spirit of try, try again, ‘must aiways be kept to the front. The entente will do some thinking before it gives recognition to Lenine. There's no telling, even though the present peade negotiations fail, when he will be attempting a like move again. Some think that the imposing of an extra tax of $300 on cabaréts in Chi- cago will discourage that Kind of a restaurant. There's little chafice since it will simply be passed along to the consumer. Some of our high officials in the army and navy are being sent home, not because they are wholly inefi- clent but because they are not in full] * accord with their superiors. We have & perfect war inachine in branches of our war service. ¢ thust| FACTS AND COMMENT In géeking her “place in thé sun” Africa and South Amebica naturally seemed to the imperial German gov- ernment to offer the greatest oppor- tunities.

These facts also have also come out through Secretary Lansing’s publication of telegrams passing between Buenos Aires and Berlin. How the Department obtain- ed these mesgsages is as yet a state secret but their genuineness is un- guestioned. The first one to be made public was the now notorious recem- sendation by Count von Luxburg, the German charge at Buenos Aires that Argentine steamers then on their way to Eumrope be either spared or sunk without a trace—this at a time when Germany was negotiating with Argen- tine over submarine warfare! On the publication of this message feelings ran high in the capital, several blocks of .Geérman business houses were wrecked and burned by mobs, the Government dlsmissed von Luxburg and ordered the army and navy pre- pared for action. ‘The - German stranglehold on the very life of the country was at once felt in strikkes on eleven railrcads and a general paraly- sis of public utilities plants, but President Irigoyen alone prevented an immediate rupture of reiations wnh ‘Germany. with the United Statés or LETTERS TO THE EDITOR b f Why Not Use Samp or Hominy? Mr. Bditor: How many in the Nerth know that what is- termend here as samp is known to us as hominy. What bake-beans is te the Northerners, bominy is to the Southerners. It is used bpth by the rieh and poor alike, especially during the fall and winter months. Tt is served with turkdy, chicken, pork, buckwheat cakes and sausage. It seldom e served with milkz, as the latter destroys much of the hominy taste. Heminy is in a moré perfect condition there, owing, I think, to the sreater demand than thére is here, but that only calls for a more careful picking over, which takes but little time. It is both cheap and whalescme. Why not try it? SOUTHERNER. Norwich, January 7, 1918. A World's Welfare Where No Neu- " trality Is Violated. Mr. Editor: At the present time many of your news columns are devoted to the great war in Europe with its aw- ful tell of slain and wounded. This little article is also war mews, but of a vastly different character. I wish to bring before your dear readers that the great white plague, tuberculosis, has its large lists of deaths going on from year to year, whereas, the whelesale murder in the great fight for democracy will be wen some day and militarism will be put agide forevér. This country needs men who are in perfect health fo send abfoad to help fight this démocratic war and hundreds of young men upon examination have been rejected, ap- parently in good health, with tuber- culosis. How many more men could be put in the trenches and battléfields it this terrible disease was not sap- ping the life out of the nation. Our fathers and mothers mmust wake up and help our doctors and scientific men stop the disease’s ravages - first by shieldng their mouths when coughing, and expectorating in sputum flasks which one can buy at small cost.

A great German radio station was erected according to im- gtructions and inquiries were made as to the time and manner of messages be expected from Germany, also as to Germany’s part in financing the sup- posedly private ecnterprise. Through all the Von Luxburg correspondence tuns the German treachery and scorn for the inferior peoples whom they were exploiting. Now we hear of the Argentine Foreign Minister as “a no- toriods ass”—this because he was not as favorable to Germany as the pres- ident; again the people of Seuth America are spoken of as “Indians un- der a thin veneer,” yet another mes- Sage gives sailing datu and descrip- tions of vessels to be, “spurlos ver- senkt” Von Bernstorff; Von Luxburg, | Von Zimmerman—true exponents .of German honor and that kulture that is destined to be a blessing to all the | world!
