KILLED IN ACTION.

Letters sent to at the front by American,
Canadian and British friends have begun to
come back TO senders with no comment save the
rubber stamp KILLED in Action" No other
comment is necessary. Such letters cannot be
forwarded they can do no good. neither can they
do harm. Just that mutely staring rubber
stamp. "John Jones' Killed in Action" carries
worlds Of meaning.
There are thousands OF such letters, no doubt.

the letters continue--not to addresses where that
stamp has once been seen. but to all the others
they win keep going until one comes back some
day marked Killed in Action" That ends It
all-for soldier and for writer.
Life must be built over again for the mother,
wife sister, sweetheart writer II 1t can be built
over. II it cannot, then grinds down one or
two. or a whole family more of noncombatants
With that Killed in Action" stamp there is
no argument. One may go at the end of the
war-God send the end soon-and search for
the body, the bones, the spot that saw the last
agony Of somebody's hero-for they are all heroes
to the writer's of those war letters. Tears will

WHAT WE SAVE.

The New York Times, in calculating the
sources to which America may reasonably look
for monetary profits from the war. mentions
first the SAVING made on pleasure trips to Europe
The Times points out that only thirty per cent
OF the usual number of European travellers have
booked for passage this season, thus showing
that only thirty per cent actually have to go
abroad The saving on estimated $4,000
tourists Is placed at from 500 900. 900 to $780,
10000 year. This amount will either be saved
or spent IN America this season.
In other lines there will be savings OF sub
stantial amounts on practically the same prin-
cpe. so that it is not hard to understand why
we may look for better business conditions in
this country, nor why the San Francisco Expo,

The Feds have a mightygood chance
this year to get a greater amount Of
publicity than the organized major
league clubs, and also they will be in
position to grab off the cream Of the
minor league talent that will be turned
back by the majors. These two chances
came because Of the two new rules
laid down a few weeks ago by the
magnates. One rule limits the organ
lied clubs to twenty-one players; the
other rule forbids their going into
training until March /.
II the Feds go into training early in
February they will be at it two or
three weeks before the organized
clubs. The Feds will be first in the
