In connmection with the efforts which Bave been made In this country to overcome waste and conserve the large quantities of supplies which have been produced by the general partici- pation in the war garden movement, it Is not surprising that the United States department of agricuiture be- lieves that the home canning army will go way over the top and pass the goal of a biliion and a half quarts which was set as the Summers ob. jective. It would indeed be a cause for regret should there be a faflure m_this undertaking. The importancs of providing for the winter needs out of the abundance of summer supplies is so plain that it hag won general recognition and to -8, 85-2. very fact must be attributed the 'despread responké which %:h people interssted, but in pro- S e u'lll? mant of m han on, &f tment of t 3,000 home demonstation agents wnd leaders 0f boye' and gitls' clubs and the establishment of community can- ning kitchens ey Bas become enthused.

Norway has agaifi shown its anger the mahser in which its shipping 2y been @éstfoyed by the Gérman underwater boats. It is of course only onc of a series of protésts that Fas been made but a time goes on it shows gréater ressntment and grows bolder i telling Germany what it must get in the way 0f compensd- tom. As usnal Gérmany séeks to placate the Bcandinavian country and in re- ply to the latest protest relative to the sinking of Norivegian gevern- ment ships otitstde of the danger zone, it declares that it will compensate Norway should that nation prove that the ships were sunk withbut warn- inz. Threre is no question but what Norway his lost the ships. It will have fo difficulty In proving that they have been sunk and if they have Leen destroyed outside of the danmger zone fixed by Germany it can make little difference as far as compensa- tioh is concerned whether .the ships were warned or not. The giving of a warning to a ship does not give it.any rrotection for the warninz invariably meang that the vessel is about to be sunk and that those aboard should make haste to abandon ship. Qer- many spénds precious little time In making an investigation of a vessel's vargo or papers to see whether it is justified in destroying it. But whethet there was watrning or not Norway Is bound to insist upfn compensation and it is not surprising that it @émands recomipense in the form of ships rather than monev and it cannot at the same time afford to overlook the fact that damages must be paid for the iarze number of lives which have heen taken in the destruction of Norse ghips. THE FIGHT AT NOGALES.

The whole affair appears to have been the the outcome of ill feclingk whith has prevailed amoig the cus- toms guards at a point whete It does hot take much to fan a spark into a flame. It was not caused by an in- sjon of the other's territory by either side engagtd, but dus to the at- tempt which was apparently made by {he Mexican customis offisers to get a Mexican across into this country and insisting upon it withouit the sanc- tion and inquiry by similar officials en this side of the border. The stopping of the Mexican by t! American fuard Wwas by no meéans 2 cause for hostilities. It was simply in line with his duty but it brought forth shots from the Mesiean cide just as if the thing had beéen plotted with that idea in view. One shot led to more and it was not lohg before a pitched battle was undefway With re- sults that were serious. That Mexico | recognized that its représentatives were in the wrong is indicated by the despatch of an offieer with an apology and it not only points out, as former Minister of Finance Cabrera recently urged, the needs of a better under- tanding between neighbors and par- ticularly those who are &o near to- gether aiong the border but the ex.| croise of better control on the part of the Mexican govefnment, EDITORIAL NOTES.
