A NNOUNCEMENT was made yesterday from Washington that the 50,000,000 barrels of oil which Congress has said may be purchased for the use of the navy must be supplied by the coal and oil producers at prices which the President will fix later when the Federal Trade Commission has determined a fair rate. So far, good. But what about millions of consumers of coal and oil whoy though they do not serve on battleships, are still hard-work- ing, loyal citizens of the United States? Are they to be charged whatever the coal and oil producers figure out will keep war profits piling up despite regulated prices the Gov- erqment may set on what it buys for its own needs? to $8 a ton. But there are indi- eations that unless the Government puts a prompt quietus on the plots of the coal combination, next winter will find coal dealers trying Ao extort from $15 to $20 for every ton the private consumer orders. The President is determined there shall,be no collusion with the railroads to force up coal prices. The Priority Bill, which-gives him Coal is now selling at from $6 ficial shortages and exorbitantly high prices which now im an expense upon the people “as materially to impair their means of sustenance and their financial ability to assist in providing for the national defense.” ‘That is the great fact to be pounded into the heads of Congress- men who so far fail to grasp it. ‘The enduring power of the nation is going to depend every bit as much upon its workers as upon its fight- ers. Both must have food. Both are entitled to every safeguard and protection the Government can provide for them in the perform- ance of their respective functions, The Secretary of the Navy does not propose to have the Govern- ment bled by the coal barons. It is for Congress to go further and see to it that neither coal barons, food speculators nor any other horde of profiteers are permitted to prey at will upon American workers and wage-carners while those workers and wage-earners need every ounce of their’ strength and courage to back the exhausting business of war. te AT BEST A BUNGLE. HE police of New York City have reason to congratulate them- selves that their general etandards have come to be so high as to spare them much of the sharpness of criticism which such bungling as they were guilty of in the Ruth Oruger case fairly challenges. <wuthority to compel the railroads to give necessities the preference over all other kinds of freight, has already been passed by the Senate. It is s long step toward insuring the people of the United States con- stant and equitable distribution of the articles they need most. Senator Pomerene would give the President power to fix the price of coal, whether at the mine or in the hands of dealers; also power to regulate methods of sale, distribution, apportionment and storage with such completeness as utterly to do away with the arti- we such We fancy it will be a long time before detective officers here- about are content to dismiss mysterious and baffling disappearances of young girls with a cynical “What can we do when they'd rather go wrong than etay at home?” There remains and will remain, until thorough inquiry removes all doubt, a decidedly ugly look to the Prova hear thigh Ooochi’s character and record could hardly have been wholly unknown, the police and detectives detailed to handle the caso accepted his story practically without question and did not even watch him closely enough to prevent his getting away. Who advised Oocchi to clear out? Who supplied him with funds enough to permit his turning up in Bologna in better clothes and with more money than he ever had in New York? Who were his friends? Who were their friends? These questions, no less than and perfunctory police search of the Cocchi premises ?—we are the other one—why tha! t delayed sure the police themselves will be most insistent to have answered, The force has risen too high in the esteem and admiration of New Yorkers to permit its good name to suffer from even the smallest shadow of suspicion. Letters From the P Why One Man Doesn't EB To the Editor of The Brening World: Your editorials on the matter of food control are excellent, but I have yet to seo a single paper in this city touch on what, to my mind, is the most vital point in the entire matter, It is this: There are thousands of men who are working hard to make both ends meet and who would like to enlist, but do not dare do so under tue circumstances, By staying at our work and hustling every minute we| can still provide for our families in| spite of the prices charged by treason- able food sharks. What would >- come of our families if we enlisted | while these thieves kept shoving prices up? They would starve, It is this very thing that keeps thousands from enlisting.

Before the war, Germany held an average etock of 3,000 shells for each gun, while France had 700, When the war began France estimated a daily ex- penditure of 18,600 shells, but before @ year had elapsed she was firing 100,000 a day. According to an official report of the French Army Headquarters, the French artillery north of Arras fired, 300,¢°9 shots within twenty-four hours, the total weight of which would be 8,901,000 pounds, During the great French offensive of September, 1915, in thy Champagne, the French fired at the rate ~f 900,000 shots an hour— ‘a total of 50,000,000 shots in three days on a twenty-five-mile front. The cost of ammunition, considered in the light of its wastefulness, is appalling, says Popular Selence tfonthly. A year ago Canada had contributed —$350,000,000 worth of shells, Tho United States bad ex- ported ammunition, explosives and firearms worth a half-billion, It ts needless to state that the last year has been the most productive of all, not enly in the United States and Canada, but in European countries Qe well, Figures of shell production run into unthinkable billions. For this the tremendous capacity of the guns used is largely responsible. Cartoons for Women COREALK, INSTEAD.

HE business of making over ar wounded and incapacitated sol- diers is becoming one of the most important undertakings of science, Men who have lost one hand or both, men who are partially or totally blind, and men without legs, are being taught to do things that ordinarily would require hands, feet and eyesight. Many institutions in France and England are devoting all of their energies to remaking men who L.\e been shattered by the war. It is a comparatively simple thing to teach a blinded stenographer the touch system, even though he may not have known it before his afflic- tion, By the use of a commercial phonograph instead of stenography he can return to his old place and be worth just as much econom! ly as before, Numbers of bilnd men are being taught to operate the type- writer, and will take up life again tp this clerical capacity although for- merly they were engaged in some wholly different occupation. Soldiers who have lost one hand find it possible to do many kinds of work. A one-armed man may make a very good farmer, and there are numerous mec nical tasks in which his one hand will suffice.

There is a case on record of a French violinist who had both arms shot away in the early days of the war, When he had got well again thie musician was given a pair of artificial hends, The yearning to play his violin came upon him stronger than ever before. After patient prac- Uce he Is sald to play as well as a man with the hands that nature gave him, ‘The legless man finds it possible by means of artificial Iimbs to operate foot-power machinery, and thereby falls into a special kind of work that should become the particular province of legless men when the war ts over, The theory has become generally redited in scientific circles that the ause of mankind being right-handed is to be found tn the early custom of carrying a ehieid on the left arm, to protect the heart. And through all the ages that man fought with spear Latest Service of Science Reclaims Hosts of Wounded to Help Rebuild Eur ope. and javelin, he trained bis right hand to feats of skill. So the race became right-handed, The question is now asked if the teaching of men to use their remaining left hand instead of the missing right will have a ten- dency to increase the number of left- sanded men and women in the years to come, On the principle of like father like gon, it is possible that future generations will have a much larger proportion of left-handed persons. So skilfully are artificial limbs made in this day of progress What the maimed man need no longer rag out @ dreary life. He can be a.most his own self again by the help of science, and continue to do a good day's work, after having made the supreme sacri- fice for country. This 1s one of the most encouraging phases of the war. Where the cripp! tury—even a half century ago—was fated to a life of restricted activity, the victim of battle is now assured a happier lot. In times gone by it too often has been the destiny of the maimed goldier to become a public charge, a forlorn figure on the corner with outstretched palm.

This is needful and commendable, yet greater testimonial of doing something might better be followed in the expenditure of said sum to bring the greatest amount of good to those who need it at the crucial moment, Many a person thinks he has done his duty when he has given a sum of money to a certain cause. Very often such people only ease thelr com- ecience by the gift.
