MAKE THE LOAN A SUCCESS.

We are now in the final week of the period fixed for raising the second Liberty loan. There are five more days in which the remaining amount can be subscribed for and subscrip- tions ought to be flowing in so free iy that there will be no question as to the outcome. The money is needed by the government. It must be had for the purpose of giving the soldiers and sailors their proper support, for the" extension of aid to our allies who are now fighting for and for the provision of the enormous amount of food and fighting material. The
 money will have to be obtained some how If it is not done through a loan 1t will have to be secured through taxation One ought not to be obliged to figure on that problem very iong before he realizes that the loan, which means the extension of the use of his money with interest to the gov- ernment, is prefera bIe. - There is no better way in which we can show the strength of this coun- try and the manner in which it stands back of the government in the conduct of the war than by the successful floating of these bonds. There is a part which every one can play. It is not desired that the rich should pro- vide all the money. Each and every one can for the most part help through the purchase of one bond, es- pecia1ly under the easy terms which are offered by banking institutions. Patriotism should be sufficient to ob- tain the desired amount without straining resources or seriously af- fecting earnings, but in addition there is the investment feature which can not be overlooked. After having a casualty list of eight and a quarter million men, Germany has raised over three billion on it's seventh loan. This country certainly ought to do twice as we'll on it's second.

CHANGES IN DRAFT PROCEDURE

Profiting from the experience which has been had in connection with the selective draft as applied thus far, it is not surprising that plans have all ready been made for correcting the errors and injustices. It was not maintained that perfection had been secured at the start. It was realized that it was new ster. and therefore an experiment, so that the existence of inconsistencies was likely. Such is the usual course before a standard can be adopted
 But having put the provisions of the law into practice it has been pos sible to determine where the trouble and misunderstanding lies and it is with the idea of correcting these and bringing the law up to the proper degree of efficiency that those in charge of it's administration have been st work.
 As the law was enforced and differ ent interpretations placed upon the multitude of rules. it became appar- rnt that what was being done in one district was not being followed in an- other Even added explanations of the rules were not sufficient to over come the situation. but having ex- perienced and recorded these troubles and having gotten the machinery oil- ed up so that it can be told where it binds or works improperly it is time that the remedy was applied.
 It has become apparent that the system can be much improved by a classification of the eligibles before the examinations are made, so that those who have grounds for exemp- tion because of dependents or because of industrial activities will be sorted out from those who have not and be placed where they will be the last to go, if in fact they go at all. When a second call will be made has not been determined but it is fair to presume that when 1t does take place many of the weak spots of the past will have been eliminated and all boards will have a better and a more uniform course to follow.

NEW eNoLANpss Nrru.

New England has always been look
 ed upon as one of the important man .
 ufacturing sections of the country. It
 holds that position today and it is extensively engaged in the production of goods which are necssSAry tor Eaae equipment of the army and navy. Tho industrial activity of the New Eng land states is so vital to the nation and to it's part in the war that no in- terruption thereof can be pernfitted.
 While there is some water power used in that connection, it is to be realized that coal is required to keep the factories going. With the mills and factories running full time. with increased helrt and in not few cases on a 24 hour schedule 1t must be realized that the consumption of coal is above normal, but without this fuel one of the worst handicaps that could be placed uren the industries would result.
 There is no question but what there is coal enough to be had if the trans portation facilities were able to meet the demands. The railroads are do- ing a greater business in, this direc- tion than ever before, but where the trouble lies. and what is going to cause a shortage if one actually foiS> lows. is the lack Of shipping. Vessels which have been engaged in this bus mess have been withdrawn for other purposes. They are douhtIess needed in other ways but how is the country going to get the benefit from these great manufacturing states if the fuel for running their plants is denied them: This is a matter which can not be placed any too enphaticalIy before the fuel administration. It is a situation which calls for the most se- rious consideration and at once &

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
Another Blast From, r. Q. and H.


 Mir. Editor: American Citizen and a few others of clumsy screed, no doubt would like to be looked upon as the final arbiter in everything that con- cerns the welfare of Ireland. They are really what might be called mosaic of mediocrity. and they are in the depths of disappointment be- cause they are baked in their desire to show me-. The principles pro- pounded in a burst of eratory show they see red and thirst for the bIcod of all who do not believe blindIy as they do. Let them know that if the war should end without giving Ire land freedom, the Irish question will remain to trouble England and dis turb the world until it is settled ac- cording to the wishes of the Irish people. The Irish cause has survived the utmost efforts of England to stamp i- our for more than seven centuries and it will go on with increasing and unfiagging vigor until victory finally perches on it's banners. No matter what is said or done. the American people sympathize with it yet. No tcatter what politicians without statesmanship or vision may do, on the false pretenee that championship

The Play, Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop, Will be Given on October 18th.

The September number of the Thea Ire Magazine contains an illuminat- ing article by Dr. Crane in regard to the theatre in war time. According to the doctor. "Whatever keeps a ma tion strong and fit, full of vim and resiliency. contributes to it's striking power. The amusements of a people are an essential part of their eff1cien- ". In war time, therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the thea Ire should realize it's opportunity At a time like this we need the spiritual elixir of the theatre. we need the re- vivifying touch of the world of fan cy."
 In assembling the big cast for the musical comedy, F1-Ff of the Toy Shop, Mrs. Vaughn and her helpers have experienced very little difficuIty in filling the many groups It can be assumed that practically every one in the case is trying to do their "bit'' for the country but that does not pre- vent them from attending rehearsals regularly and enjoying them. More than likely the people of Norwich will welcome the opportunity of seeing an artistic and funny production of real worth staged with over three hundred local people taking part.
 In supporting the College Club in this big undertaking, both the cast and the audience will contribute to the Scholarship Fund and at the same time will enjoy a remarkably fine play. The date decided upon for the production of Ff-Ff of the Toy Shop is Friday. Oct. 26 at Davis theatre.
