The Material Things America
L Has Already Contributed

A survey Of the last seven months will
probably show that Americas contribution
to the war has so far been primarily ma
terial; but from now on it Will also be po-
htical, and perhaps decisive in both fields.
For example, on the material side this
can now reckon its contribution to
the Allied cause somewhat as follows:
Men-More than 100000 now under
arms.
Money-Two Liberty Loans totalling
five billion dollars, combined loans to
the Allies of over three billion dollars,
and war budget for the first year Of
twenty billions.
Ships-6,O00,0 tons promised for
1918, besides large amounts of seized
and Communicated tonnage.
Airplanes-2O,OOO by next June.
Contracts for s250,00O,-
900 worth.

Coal Gas to Drive Motors
The World. Work"


MUCH has recently been written OF
wi the use of coal gas as a motor fuel
in England, but Frederick A. Talbot's
account of that subject in the November
issue of 1.-The Worlds Work" is unusually
complete. He says;
1.-THE fantastic reality Of yesterday is the
reality of to-day. Three years ago to have
suggested the possibility Of utilizing coal gas
commercially as a fuel for motor cars would
have provoked, IL not hilsrity. storm OF
antaconistic argument. Yet, at the moment,
coal gas is being increasingly utilized for this
nurpose. Moreover, owing TO the wonderful
stimulation which is being given to inventive
fort. there is every likelihood Of its perma-
nently usurping petroleum oil from its
n.cuIiarly exclusive field in connection with
matter, affecting highway transportation by
mechanically propelled vehicles depending
vnon the internal combustion engine"
The use of coal gas. Mr.. Talbot goes on

very appreciably. All that is required is

and the inlet of the engine. The car

tween two foreign policies, but between two
internal policies 1t has been contest be-
tween the moderate programme OF political
revolution preparing the way for the pro-
gressive realization of the Socialistic ideal
Kerensky-and the immediate realization OF
the Socialist commonwealth - Lenine. Inc
Bolshevik conception - Lenine has virtually
said it's as follows: We had one revolu-
ton when Czarism was overthrow We
have now put through second revolution
by deposing Kerensky and putting the powers
of government into the hands Of the people
When we have given the land TO the peasants
and the instruments of production to the
industrial workers. we shall have put through
the third, the final, revolution"

great part of the war"-a statement that
could be construed to indicate political con-
troll as well as control over military sup
plies While denying any such sweeping
intention, President Wilson shortly there
after instructed Colonel House, head OF
the American War Mission now in London,
to impress the English with this countrys
feeling that unity of plan and control
between all the Allies and the United
State, is essential to achieve a just and
permanent peace" This was deemed nee
cssary if the great resources of the United
States were to be used TO the best ad-
vantage.
At a meeting Of the American mission
with the British War Cabinet few days
later Lloyd George issued his statement
outlining the two great contributions OF
the United States as ships and men
5000 900 tons of ships and million men
if possible.
Other views Of what part this country
NAV take in the war are now to be found
in almost any paper that one picks up.
For example, dispatch to 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun" from Washington says that
questions directly affecting the United
States which are understood 70 have been
discussed at the first conference were
these:
Prospect for an attack in force on the
German submarine bases.
strength to be maintained for the Ameri-
can expedtionary force in France.
Rate at which troops should be sent in
proportion to the shipment Of supplies to
the Allies.
Extent to which American troops should
be used on the Italian front"
The same dispatch thinks the United
States would also be doing necessary act
by Immediately declaring war on Austria.
From another source it is suggested that
this country will ask all the Allied powers
TO clay all their cards on the table" at the
coming war council in Paris, reveal any

This observation probably marks the
dividing line between the days when this
country was undecided just what her part
in the war should be and those when it
will definitely know the job cut out for it.
Events in the last week have moved swift
" toward such decision. First Lord
Northcliffe landed in England and in a
letter to the Premier badly said that the
United States must rightly take into its
own hands the entire management OF

From the running point of view no diff

and is in sympathy with his engine, being
able TO feel it as an engineer should, the
