The European allies are learning at
the point of the bayonet that if the
government wants any emergency
work done Oh time it must do it itself.
There are many cogs in private enter
prise which may slip at the vital mo-
ment. Time cannot be extended on a
contract to furnish supplies for de-
cisive battle which the enemy can
spring at will. Early in our civil war
Secretary Stanton ordered that all mil
itary supplies be homemade as far as
possible and exclusively 50 when pos
sible. He would take no chances on
uncertain supplies from abroad. That
was long step toward a certain meas
ure of government control, because the
government could speed up the home
producer. Lack of powder may turn a
battle, and if hired factory men strike
soldiers can fill their places.

The demand Of the hour for ef1cien-
~ is hopeful sign, efficiency in every
form Of activity. People in this ia
vored land have always been AS profit
gate Of time as of natures bounties,
and after generations of go-as-you-
please activity it was time to bark
back to the axioms "Don't scatter
your POWDER and Hit the nail on the
head" Efficiency looks continually to
the end sought and picks up dropped
stitches along the way. When tools
and implements are left where last
used at quitting time valuable mo-
ments are lost getting started right
next day. "a place for everything and
everything in its place" is a good rule
in shop. Office and store, as we'll as in
the thrifty housewives kitchen. Red
tape system may be carried to absurd
lengths, yet in the long ruin it pays to
clean things up as we go along.

When pressed for an explanation
Miss Bassett gave a dozen different
motives, saying with each, tell the
people that is why did it, All were
equally romantic and thrilling. That

Parkinson, colored, 2417 Fifth avenue

Parkinson turned their machine down
the East River drive and when Miss
Bassett came to shore, 500 feet below
the bridge, they picked her up and
took her to the City Hospital. She
was badly stunned, and had bad
wound on the jaw. She will be able
to leave the hospital shortly. In her
handbag was found ticket for New"

AN EVANGELIST WITH NERVE

Josephinum Weekly: 1t was at a
monday meeting of business men in
another city. The chairman had
brought a guest whom he introduced,
after the viands had been disposed of,
as an evangelist. The men gave him
a polite welcome, but wondered at the
taste Of the chairman in putting such
a speaker upon them. The guest arose
and began by disavowing any purpose
to bore them with sermon
"You have no time to listen to a
sermon,' he said. cit is your noon
hour in business day.. But then it
would be very much the same if it were
any other day. You are pursuing the
almighty doliar-doing it bv day and
dreaming Of it at night. You have no
time or thought for religion at any
time. Why, pray, do you spend your
time and effort in the accumulation of
things perishable? You may amass
wealth, but you cannot take it with
you when you die-and,' he added 'af.
ter pause, eff you could and did, it
would melt.''

CERMANY'S NOTE ON ARABIC
ASCRIBES SINKING TO ACT OF

Instructions to Commanders.

Berlin, via London, Sept. 9.-Ger-

corning the sinking of the White Star
line steamer Arabic by German SUBJ
marine, as communicated to James w.
Gerard, the American ambassador, as
cribes the destruction of the liner to
IN act of self-defense on the part of the
submarine, expresses the German gov
ernment's deep regret that American
lives were lost thereby, and offers to
refer the questions Of reparation and
compensation to The Hage for adjust
ment. 4.
Reveals Instructions to Captain.
The note reveals in detail the in
Structions to submarine commanders
concerning their treatment of liners.
They are ordered not to attack pas
senger steamer except in case of an
attempt to escape after it is ordered
to halt, or unless it's actions indicate
IN intention to attack the submarine.
The submarine commander, accord
ing to his report concerning the send
ing of the Arabic to the bottom, said
he believed the Arabic was about to
attack the submarine, and therefore
he acted within his instructions.
No Other Course Open.
German naval experts declare that
there is no other course open to sub
marines under the present conditions,
when they assert, every merchantmen
from liner down to fishing smack is
presumptive enemy and perhaps car
rying guns and ready to seize any or
portunity to attack the vulnerable sub
marine by gunfire or by ramming.
