BANNING BIG WAR PROFITS.

The national council of defense $ reported to be taking every necessary step to safeguard the United States in the purchase of munitions. Meas ures already planned will, it is stated, render impossible the making of ab- normal profits in the manufacture oi munitions and supplies.
 Indeed, many producers and manu- facturers have voluntarily undertak- en to "do their bit' in the matter of supplying the needful materials at reasonable figure, and to cooperate to the fullest extent with the national defense council in this regard.
 In this respect, the United States will have the advantage of the ex- periencc. of the countries which have been almost three years at war, and which have learned by this time how to wrestle efficiently with the mu- nitions problem.
 These countries have recognized that reasonable profits arc advisable on war transactions. It is only through such procedure that the ma chinery of production can be kept running smoothly Reasonable profits ensure the labor fair return for it's work, the producer of raw materi Il a decent interest on his investment, and the manufacturer fair return for directing the machinery of pro- duction along efficient lines.
 On the other hand, the piling up of exorbitant profits from the national necessities has been guarded against.
 It is this problem with which the defense council has to deal. It is realized on all sides that there is no advantage in forcing labor to work for half reasonable wage, or com polling the manufacturer to take chances on serious loss. America is able and willing to give every man engaged in the production of muni- tions his just due.
 Patriotic Americans will not seek to make financial advantage of the national necessities. Should there be any Americans unpatriotic enough to take the opposite course, they can be dealt with swiftly, summarily and effectively.

THE MILITARY UNFIT.

There is no denying or blinking the fact that the percentage of military unfit in this country is unusually high. Three out of every four men applying to the government enlist ment stations fail to pass the medical examinations; and this is conserv l. tive statement. The average of turn downs is more than in the neighbor- hood of five out of six.
 When the republic was young such thing was unknown. Nearly every man could pass the physical exami- nation. Not only that. nearly every man was conversant with the use of firearms, could shoot straight, and needed the minimum of military training to be of service to his coun- try. Some of the most glorious vic tories in the annals of the American republic were won by virtual raw I, Cruits.
 What has created the change? What has degenerated our manhood physically to the prest mt lamentable status?
 First of all is the change in living conditions. Where formerly the na- ton was largely rural, with young- sters brought up in the hard knocks factory on the farms, where they lived natural life and gave nature a chance to do it's best by their bodies, now tremendous percentaga live in the cities, at work in employ ment where nature doesn't get a chance. And it has only been in the last decade or so that the states be- gan to take notice of conditions an ] pass rigid rules of law that are de signed to safeguard the health of workers. These will accrue to tho benefit of the growing generation much more than to the benefit of ths present grown-ups, because the dam- age in their cases has been alrea ly done.
 This is only part of the reason however. Much of our military unfit ness lies at the doors of parents and the educational authorities-not in the present day, particularly, but these of the past two decades or tho last generation.
 The parent who merely tells a child to clean his teeth after meals, for in stance, is only doing half her duty she should see that the teeth are cleaned. If not, the child inevitabl, develops teeth trouble, and when 6 man of military years has half 8 mouthful of decayed, filled" ani false molars-a fruitful source military unfitness.

Second Regiment Companies
viii Remain Intact

Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 5.-The Sec
ond North Dakota infantry regiment
arrived at Camp Greene near here to
day, coming in four sections, and i'm
mediate1y upon arrival the regiment
as such, went out of existence, being
scattered to the four corners of the
great mobilization camp of the 41st
division by workings of the reorgani
cation plan approved by Major Gen
eral Light, commanding, before his
departure for France.
Amusement almost beyond bounds
was aroused among both officers and
men, who however, accepted the die
tates of the high military authority
but not without some grumbling and
complaint. Col. Frank White, who
came here as commander of the regi
ment and who ten minutes later was a
colonel without command, seemingly
was somewhat resentful over the fate
that befell hts regiment.

place without commands numbers OF
officers of the regiment, in addition to
Colonel White. This number includes
Lieutenant Colonel T. H. Tharalson
Major E. C. Gearey, commander OF
the second battalion and Major J. M
Hanley. commander of the third bat.
talon. These officers will be assigned
to other units, though the assignment
were not made yesterday.
The reorganization assessments of
units of former Second North Dakota
infantry were as follows:
Machine gun company, Lieut.. Tlory
commanding, was assigned to the
14Sth machine gun battalion; Com.
psny H, Captain Crawford, assigned
to 147th machine gun battalion.
Company E, Captain Ross, became
the 10th trench motor battery.
Company I, Captain Welsch, became
the first ambulance company Of the
41st division. Company K, Captain
Thomas, became second ambulance
company; Company L, Lieut.. Weston,
third ambulance company, and Com.
pany M, Captain Cook, fourth ambu-
lance company.
Company F, Lieut.. Hill, was con,
verified into the third field hospital of
the 41st division, and Company G.
Captain Grant, became the fourth field
hospital. s.
