It shows that the nation is stand- ing together solidly and if such is possible its determination is growing greater every day. With such a sbowing results in keeping with the demands are bound to be secured. RAPID SHIPBUILDING. Government officials, and particu- Jariy rge of ship construc- tion, took occasion to imark the launching of the new cargo carrier Tuckahoe from the Camden, N. I, yards with a greater celebration than has attended other similar affairs in he past few months. It was a case hich called for more attention for while there has been a steady cutting down of the number of days required to complete steamships in this coun- try since government started to increase the merchant marine this was an Instance where a vessel of 5500 tons bad been made ready for the water in a period of 27 days, which means that before a similar period cxpires the ship will be ready for eervice. The speeding up process has been going on 1 the shipyards of the country in order to supply the needed shipping at the earliest possible mo- ment. It was only recently that the turning out of a vessel in about 79 fays was considered cause for ela. tion. This has been graduaily dimin- Ished and since then a ship cn the western coast has been launched in 55 days. To cut this feat in half, even though the size of the ves: be taken 1 needs to into consideration is cer- ‘ainly worthy of all the attention which has been given to it, for what bas been done once cam be repeated and it Is not improbable that this will not remain long as a record. This evidence that the shipbuilders are striking their stride is certainly most gratifyinz to the country and with like results shown in other ship- yards, which will of course be goad- ed on to their best efforts, it certain- ly assures the accomplishment of the shipbuilding prograrame. MUST OFFSET GERMAN PLAN. Germany is already looking for more man power. It has brought to the Polors the ol and the young, those 0 were not up to the standard on first test and those outside of the Jimits for getting the best results. By $he action of Russia in dropping out P the war it received large forces hich had been engaged on the east- front for service in the west, but has suffered large losses and it is reaching out to get more sol- It is matural therefore that it should to have the Germans who are d prisoners in Russia returned to fatherland. There are a million ho were captured by Russia and a on would come in handy most any All of these are of course not for service but a many of| 80 it ig armanging-with the ~of pris- How fair and generous Germany is disposed to be to Russia is indicated by the demand that omly the able bodied Germans be sent home, that the sick and helpless be still retained in Russia and that instead of Russia taking its healthy men who are now in Germany or Austria as prisoners it will receive its sick and wounded. The intent of this is of course plain. Germany intends to make Russia a hospital not only for the German sub- Jects but for the useless Russians who are in Germany's hands. For its own henefit it wants to retain all the able Russians for war work and to get back the capable Germans for war service. Russia is in no position to do anything except when it is com- manded but under such conditions it is evident that all the help which this country can give is demanded at the earliest possible moment. AMERICAN DYES. There has been a great hue and cry over the losses which haye been sus- tained in this country because .the supply of dyestuffs from Germany were cut off. It was a complaint which .simply spurred on American capital to- overeome the situation for it has been thoroughly' understood that it is possible to make as good and as fast dyes in this country as in Germany if the proper amount of attention is given to it. The trouble has been that there was never sufficient encouragement. It was useless to try to compete with the cheap ,product from across the water, but once that was denied to us and Americans began to look out for their own needs it quickly became evident that we had been neglecting an important indus- try and for a much greater period than was justified. How .well the dyemakers of the United States have settled down to their task ' is conyincingly demon- strated by the recent display which was made at a textile industry ex- hibition in New York where there was displayed goods which had been dyed with German color and the same goods which had been treated with American made dyestuffs. These goods had been subjected to weather conditions for three weeks day and night and it was convincingly shown that the American dyed goods were in every respect the equal of the Ger- man product. This disposes of the claim that we are dependent upon Germany, or that we are at a disad- vantage because trade with that coun- try is shut off. The facts are all to the contrary and now that it has been shown what American industry can do it is time to give it the right encour- agement and support.. We want and need no more of the German dyes. GUARDING PRISON CAMPS. Once again attention has bLeen| called to the fact that a wholesale escape of German prisomers was nar- rowly averted through the efforts which it was necessary to take in or- der to quell a disturbance among these aliens. According to the report a tunnel had been dug for a distance of 50 feet in the direction of the wire fence enclosing the camp at Fort McPherson in Georgia, starting, as was the case in a previous instance from one of the barracks. It may be learned in time what the rumpus was about and whether it had anything to do with the plan to escape, but the investigation which is bound to fol- low the disclosure ought to be thor- cugh enough to determine where the responsibility lies for giving euch prisoners the opportunity to tunncl r such a distance without the guard knowing anything about it. Prisoners have escaped from such camps in the south, including officers, | who havé never been captured. S was intended this time. A good start had been made on the undertaking and from all indications but for trouble amongst themselves it might have succeeded. This indicates that there was a laxmess on the part of the guarding system which calls for an immediate change. 1f the barracks where such underground work must be started are not as carefully and frequently inspected as they shouid| be sufficient warning has now been given to bring about needed reforms in this direction. We have enough representatives of the enemy at large in this country without adding to the number by such means. { EDITORIAL NOTES. | The man on the corner says: Some- how or other retribution never gets! astale from lack: of use, It isn't a bit too early to be getting some interesting reports on the prog- ress of the home gardens, Those who can be only good citi- zens of Germany have o rights to en- joy the freedom and privileges of this country.

The fact that the institution is a_ necessity and that it will bring benefit to hundreds of suff- erers does met seem to enter into the project. - The element of human char- ity fails to set in on the consideration. Personally we doubt very much if the location of the proposéd institution will in any noticeable manner affect the property in question.

The pilot sat up on the deck combing, and listening : for the slightest sign of ap- aching rescuers, while behind him down in the cockpit slept the boy dreaming of home. “With_the coming of the morning the fog lifted and the observer glanced eagerly over the shadowy waters.

About two hundred yards away the observer paused and looked back at the disabled plane.

JOHSTON + By Isobel Field of The Vigilantes The traditional Englishman, he of the eyeglass and the haw-haw man- ner, has been thrown into the discard. The last four years have changed our views on many things and today when we think of a Britisher it is not as we used to see him, in caricature, but as he is, a simple, likable, friendly chap, and “a first class fighting man.” Another figure has gont, never to return: the dancing, -bowing frog-eat- ing Alphonse, the vel opposite in every particular to the real Iren i man we have come to know, Who! v name is the personification of ! and al plate of mace: he near dis- | tance, is displa a bold Alpin fighting in the clouds, or a dashing, gallant Bersegliere defending 1 country to the last drop of his bibod. | There is a personage nearer homse that we must be prepared to los Mistah Johnston, the Darktown Coon He is no more.

The sight of the long, long line of khaki-clad figures rching like clock-work; the strange grim faces that might have been cast in_bronze—eyes straight ahead with not a side-glance or a gleam of white teeth; company after company led by smart, soldierly colored officers, all on their way to the battlefront, was too .awe-inspiring for noise. The crowds gave them the deeper homage of breathless surprised silence. They had come to applaud Mr. Johnston and beheld in his place a bold young warrior who commanded. their respect and admiration. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society. Marketing for* Our Men in France.— That thousands o' tons of supplies are being purchased in France and Great Britain for the American troops al- ready on the: firing line is the state- ment of Herbert Corey, war corre- spondent, in a communication to the National Geographic Soclety, a por- tion of which tht Society issues as the following geosraphy bulletin: “Four hundred shiploads of things the American Army needs in France have been purchased in Europe. “The American army is 3,600 miles away from its base home, a coun- try which is increasingly Teeling the strain of more than three years of war. The number of Americans is added to each week. With the growth of the army the daily needs for cioth- ing and food has grown in proportion. “Everything was-needed at once, Cloth for uniforms was bought in England, along with shoes and hats and blankets. France furnished cannon and tents, and ‘pots and pans, and food. The rooky army was billeted in peasants’ cottages until material” for huts could be found and the huts built. ‘“Paris was drained dry of all sorts of office material. 1 doubt if there is a good desk or filing cabinet ore re- volving chair to be found there today.

MEN WHO CAME BACK On Urging Patrol Duty—In No Man's Land. By Sergt. Fred Morgan. (Sergt. Morgan, on duty at the Min- neapolis Depot, of the B. C. R. M, modestly denies any claims to hero- ism, but he wears the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Military Med- al which were pinned on his coat at Buckingham Palace by King George. After the St. Leor experience Serst. Morgan distinguished himself at the Somme. He rallied the men under him, when all his officers, were killed, charged a German trench, captured seventy-five prisoners, brought back fourteen wounded Britishers and re- turned with his little band of thirty- four men under heavy fire. With the help of Capt. Drewry and Lieut. O'Grady, both of the Mission the following story was drawn from him.) For eight months at St. Leor I was Sergeant of the “night patrol' "which does silent ‘duty in No Man's Land. One night after we crawled close to the German trenches we saw sacks of sand piled around a guarded section Experience told me’ that the enemy were digging deep below the dugouts. For five nights we wiggled up and watched. Then I told the Colonel that the Germans were digging a mine. The Colonel thought. He knew what that meant Immediately back of our _nightly rendezvous the British were digging a “crater” which was to tunnel under the German lines and. explode. Stor- ed in the back of this crater were three hundred tons of British gun cotton. 1 got permission to “get” the Dutch | mine. Being an electrician by trade, I Knew how to go to it. That night, armed with copper wire fulminating | caps and carrying six pounds of gun- | cotton, I went back to the place where | the Huns were preparing to finish us. 1 snipped my way through thirty-five | feet of the enemy barbed wire .and | once inside the trenches I got to work. | After cutting the German contact | wires in a way that no alarm was| given and lowering the gun cotton, setting it, I touched off the spark. That ended the German mine that was intended to get in under the British magazine and explode it probably the Hung heard and got afier me. Three times I was shot /. the left shoulder by machine gun bullets. « But 1 managed to get back ts our lines; after killing three Boches and drag- | them if, in addressing the letters for ging a prisoner back with me.
