Our MunitiOn Problem

From the Syracuse Post-Standard.
 The question of what the United States would do for munitions if com pelled to go to war is question of great importance not to be answered offhand in the usual easy going Amer ican way. All the machinery in this country which is capable of turning out munitions is now. or might be if its owners desired, producing them at an unprecedented rate. It has been suggested by bank president in Wheeling that every machine or de- vice in the hands of our manufacturers now engaged in the manufacture of ammunition or implements of war should when the present demand is past be stored in charge of the gov erEment tor instant use when our turn comes.
 This rather hysterical suggestion is adequately answered by a trade jour nal of the steel industry which briefly remarks that such machinery would immediately become antiquated and furthermore that the organization of men to operate the machinery must be built up and cannot be stored.
 A more practical and simple sugges- tion is offered, namely. that In every contract by an American manufacturer with foreign power there should be clause canceling the contract in case the plant is needed for War material s~. auraNzvA~

TO GIVE REMNANTS
PRIZES FOR SCHOOLS

Schools desiring to enter the com
 petition for the best essay on the
 Prevention of Tuberculosis" may ob
 tain information concerning conditions and prizes by writing the secretary of the Alabama Tuberculosis league, Birmingham.
 This year, as has been said, the league has set its goal for the sale of 2.500.000 seals; this will average 1 cent from every person in the state. These little seals are the hope of the asso- citation in Alabama, but it takes TOO of them to make $1. and many, many dollars are needed in the work. In many counties the school chill dren are leading the way, every pupil selling a few of the seals. In Bir- mingham last year the foundation of an open air school fund, for the serv- ice of children predisposed to con sumption, was laid by the sale of seals by all the public schools. Six hundred
 dollars net were thus available for To-
 cal work. This not only greatly helped
 in making the average purchase of
 seals in Birmingham more than three per capita of the population, but be-
 gan :. much needed movement toward
 an open air room for every school in
 the city
 On the other hand, many counties
 are doing nothing, though many of
 their people are dying of this prevent
 able and curable disease.

It Is not required that special sermons be preached on the subject of tubercu- losis, though this may often be desir- able.

be preached on the subject of tubercu- losis though this may often be desir- able. brief talk in connection with some service, a discussion before a young peoples society or some other special group, an oral or a printed an : nouncement is sufficient to answer the requirements.
 GENERAL SUGGESTION
 For other organizations, such as lodges, clubs, granges, civic and social bodies it is planned to interest them in considering the subject at some meet ing during Tuberculosis Week. The seven days from December to 12 should, in other words. be time when the subject of tuberculosis may be presented nationally with unusual force to the religious, civic and so- cial organizations of the country.
 AIM
 The fundamental aim of Tubercu- losis Week is educational. It Is not essentially for the purpose of secur- ing funds for antituberculosis work. although in some communities special collections may be taken. Emphasis is laid primarily on the great good which will come from an increased knowledge of the nature of the dis ease and the methods of prevention Last year over 100000 churches and
 
 the gospel of good health on Huber oulosis Sunday. The National Asso- citation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis believes that this year these churches and additional thou sands of organiZations-relig and social-will assume responsibility for helping to educate the public on the subject of tuberculosis.
 Tuberculosis Week will be inclusive of the days between December 6 and 12.
 Remember, although the new law is boon to all in the state, it Is with out appropriation, and to carry 1t through with any degree of perfec- tor and assistance to the cause. the seals must be sold. Money spent in this way on the seals Is a direct aid to your local sufferers
 TO GIVE REMNANTS
 The Alabama nti-Tuberculosis league announces competition in the sale of seals this year on a similar basis to that of last year conducted by the national association.
 l. Any county may compete.
 g. Award will be made according to the last United States census.
 8. The county purchasing the largest proportion of seals per capita of it's population will be the winner.
 4. A county pennant will be given the winner, and will be in charge of the person who individually sells the largest number of seals in that county.
 D. Accurate reports of all sales must be made to the league office not later than January 15.

CHILDREN'S HEALTH CRUSADE

Childrens health crusade day will be devoted to interesting children in schools and elsewhere in health plays, compositions, essays and orations on matters of public health, especially
 tuberculosis, and in the sale of Red Cross seals, the proceeds of which are used for anti-tuberculosis work. The importance of ifIstructing children in personal hygiene and in what they can do to raise the health standard of their community cannot be too

ploying submarines in the destruction

rules of fairness, reason, justice and
humanity" the established principles
of international law.
Chicago Stats Zeituug; The ad-
ministration cannot honestly dodge the
questions raised by Germany. The
German government does not deny re-
sponsibility for the sinking of the
Lusitanis but wishes TO determine
the status OF the ship whether or not
she was an auxiliary cruiser.
Chicago Journal: The claim that
the Lusitania was an armed vessel is
an unmixed insult to the United States
which cleared the ship as a merchant
man. but the request for an investiga-
ton of circumstances already known
TO the civilized world is as shifty as it
is insolent.
Springfield. III, May S1.-The MI
nois State Register: The note is all
that this government could have ex-
pected from a nation in the turmoil Of
war. although. of course, not all that
this government has wished for. so far
as the conciliatory attitude of the Ger
man government is concerned.
