No News from the Soldier Means That
He Is All Right.
Although the failure to receive let
tiers from men in the service is not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage "no news is good
news" never was more true than at
present. The report of every casual
ty at home or abroad is Immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there with
out loss of time to the emergency
address of the soldier or sailor at
fected. It is also at once released for
publication in the newspapers. No
news of casualties has or will be held
up.
No mar in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has
been urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and friends.

the railroads transported 100000
men to training camps and embarka-
ton points. To insure the safety of
the men in transit the railroads have
adopted an average speed of Is miles
an hour except when freight cars
needed for transportation of equip
ment are included in the trains. The
speed is then reduced to 20 miles.
The fuel administration is authori-
ty for the statement that, while the
annual output of coal has been in
creased approximately SO, 900 900 tons,
the increase in consumption caused by
the war is 100 ,0OO, 900 tons. An in
stance cited is that of the Bethlehem
Steel company, which demands an in
creased coal supply of approximately
100000 tons a year. The coal de-
mands of public utility plants particu-
larly in the industrial sections, have
increased a third.

In Wisconsin 100 hotels in one
month effected a saving of approxi-

Exports of Sugar to Nations Allies
Causes Scarcity Here.

Causes Scarcity Here.
Some sections of the United States
are temporarily short of sugar be
cause the nation is partially filling
the imperative needs of the allies and
is supplying sugar for it's troops in
France. In 1917 the United States has
exported over 18 times as much as it
had averaged in the three years pre-
ceding the war.
The worlds sugar crop for 1867
was nearly 1900, 900 tons less than
that of 1928. A greater shortage,
however, affects the European allies
because their own production has
been greatly cut, and prior to the war
Germany and Austria exported each
year approximately 1,722,00 tons. In
pre-war times England received So
per cent of her total sugar supply
from the central powers, which is now
supplied from the United States
sources.
While Europeon allies are being
materially aided with sugar from the
United States, they are far from get
ting more than their share at the
expense of the citizen who once in q
while may have to drink his coffee
u~nsweetened. The average consump-
ton of sugar per capita in England
before the war was more than 8;
pounls a year. Now the maximum
limit is 26 pounds, with some likell
hood of that being unobtainable. II
France the limit is IS pounds pei
capita; in Italy II pounds.
The average consumption of sugar
per capita in the United States is still
about 80 pounds.

Compressed Air Sends Missiles Into
German Trenches.

Many of the mortars employed to-
day on the allied fronts are of the
compressed air type, using a puff OF
air or gas instead of powder to throw
the shell into German trenches.
Present day trench warfare has
caused the pneumatic cannon idea to
be developed after it had been laid
aside for many years as impractical.
Aside from being silent and mex
pensive, the pneumatic mortar is read
lily manipulated. 1t is used at ranges
| of from $50 to 1000 feet, and is said
to be exceedingly accurate.

Since war was declared the naval
consulting board has received more
than 10000 suggestions, plans or mod
els of ingenious devices for use by
the navy observation-disclosures than two
thirds of them concerning the prob
lem Of combating the menace of the
enemy submarines. All suggestions
receive careful attention, those of mer-
it being brought to the attention of
the secretary of the navy.
While many proposals have been
found to be impractical, much valu-
able aid has been given to various
branches of the war service. The naval
consulting board and the navy de-
partment have prepared for free dis
tribution pamphlets giving general
information to inventors that they
may avoid misconceptions-one of the
most general being that some miracu-
lous machine may be conceived by the
used of which the seas may at once
