A WISE CHANGE OF MIND.

Sober second thought is very apt to correct the mistakes of an impulsive decision and this is apparently. what it has done fer Secretary of War Ba7 ker regarding the students of the sec ord training camps at Plattsburg who qualify for commissions
 These officers training camps have been maintained for the purpose of securing as quickly as possible the large number of officers that will be required to take charge of the ma tional army, fill vacanoies as they oc- cur and take part in the duties before going abroad. The army has not srown as fast as the number of off, cers up to the present time and it had been announced by the secretary of war that the graduates would be placed upon the reserve list until r.eeded without pay. This means that they would go back to civilian life. get in touch with other things and lose much of the benefits which they have obtained from the training re- ceived and which needs to be ccntin- ued and put into actual practice for still greater perfection.
 The fact that there are too many of icers soon to be made available, is a good thing. 1t was the lack of offic CTS that was being decried some time ago, but now that these officers are going to be available. even though they are training camp officers, it would be folly to put them on the shelf even where they would de- teriorate instead of improve. Thus the change of mind by the secretary is a wise one. It would have been an economical move to have put them on the reserve list but just now is the time when we should spare no ex- pense in making them better officers,

SOUND ADVICE.

On top of the disgusting speeta cle which certain women in Washington are making Of themselves in picketing the White House comes their state naents to tke court that they are fight = ing fer their rights and standing up for great principle. They give little thought to anything but themselves. They fail to recognize that their ac- tivities are accomplishing nothing, that they are only establishing great CT prejudice against the object for which they are working and that if they are anxious to do something nc- ble for their country and therefore for themselves there is a far greater op- portunity before them in deyotipg their services to the support of the government at the present time in aiding in the great volume of war work that is waiting to be dcne.
 :. As a rebuke to such efforts as are being put forth by certain, women from various sections of the country gathered at Washington. Mrs. Har- riet Stanton Blateh an ardent and consistent advocate of equal suffrag writes: 'Since last February I have taken little parti<in suffrage work and have been deFoting my time mainly to matters connected with war ser vice. To judge by the hue and cry that is going on about non essentials one might suppose that America is at peace. theF world at peace, starvation non existent and civilization progress ing normally" = . --
 As Mrs. Blatch indicates it is time for the women to realize their greater responsibilities, stop fighting over the things that can wait and devote their energies to helping the nation. and it is pretty sound advice..ta ~:-

 From this it is gathered that when the Germans started the war by in vading Belgium they launched 1190 battalions of infantry formed info 9s 1-2 divisions of four regiments each on to the Franco Belgian front, while the Russian front they em- ployed only 322 battalions formed into 2s 1-2 divisions of four regiments each. On September 1 this year. they had on the Franco Belgian British front. 1869 battalions formed into 147 divisions. some of which were of three and others of four regiments each, while on the Russo- Rumanian front 965~ battalions formed into -92 divisions were in line.

NEEDING THE APPEAL.

Since the presidents address to the American Federation of Labor at Buffalo there are several important instances which show that it went to the mark. that those it was intended to reach got 1t and that they have been persuaded that the president is right and they are wrong
 First of all the building trades see- .ion of the federation saw the point and made an immediate move whereby all strikes affecting government work Whethef in shipping, intuition or other industries involving production fer the conduct of the war were called 1G- This has resulted in the return to vark of carpenters at Newport News employed on government con- tracts, in the taking up of their activf- ties by the union men, at four ship wards at Newark. and in disclosing rood prospects of the ending of the reubie at Quincy where nearly 10 900 are involved or indirectly concerned by the trouhle. -----.... ..=.
 President Wilson in laying em- phasis upon the fact that all should stand together in support of the gov ersmert at this time declared that Nobody has a right to stop the pro- cesses of labor until all the methods ef ,eonciliatien and settlement have SeeH. e&Ha uSted ana the settlement fs neyer impossible when both sides want to do the square and right things" That these statements went home is shown by the calling off of the strikes.

that those who have temporarily set up a new government are unable to control and that riot, footing and ratir- der are prevailing everywhere.
 It can be appreciated that tie peo- pie of that city are anxious for the return of Kerensl<y but even more so should they be working for the, bring ing back of General KorniIoff and the putting into operation of the sugges- tions which he made for saving the country from the enemies within It was korniloff who pointed out as long ago as the Moscow conference that what has taken place could be ex- pected unless there was a reorganiza- tion of the army and the establish ment of a stronger government. Rus sia and Petrograd need the return of Kerenslxy but they also need kornilof to give him the proper backbone.

COAL BY WATER, CERTAINLY.

According to a Washington des- patch it is announced by the fuel ad ministration that an inyestiga ton by Major General William s. Black, chief of engineers of the United States army, shows that a large saving in railroad transportation Aean be eff fected with the terminal facilities and water transportation equipment now available, and the shipment of coal from eastern fields to New England was cited as one of the most striking instances Of opportunity for saving.
 After all the ciamoring for coal that has been done by New England. and after the shortage which exists here with industries closing because they cannot get the needed fuel, this would seem t1 be an eleventh hour decisipn regarding the getting of relief to this section nf the. country It is difficult 10 understand why there should not have been an early recognition of such facilities inasmuch as there are cer- tain sections of New England which depend almost entirely upon water transportation in getting their coal.
 We have been given to understand fin the past that the shutting off Of this means of getting coal was due to lack of vessels. Major Black says Shat the equipment is available now for greatly relieving the irailroads and that being the lease it's utilization can not be undertaken too quick. It is fcliy to suppose that coal for New England should be forced upon the railroads when it can be carried by water ard this applies to other sec tions as well as New England The fuel adnainistration should now. be- stir itself and make up as well as it can for lost time.

The Famine of Sweets.

Mir. Editor: For a change we may now devote a little worry to the sugar scarcity. The fall canning took an un- heard of proportion of that sweetly familiar commodity, and the visible supply is unequal to the demand, pending relief from the cane sugar producers of the south. and the beet sugar manufacturers of the west The result is a sort of sacchaFine embargo. Even the most -beneyolent grocer puts On a stony stare when you ask him for more than two pounds of sugar

OTHER VIEW POINTS

There is one unsuitable. constant demand from soldiers in trench and training camp-the demand for letters and more letters from home. Comfort kits and candy and tobacco are fine but only letters sootle that lonely ache that sometimes sneaks under the khaki. It is not soidierly loneif- ness--so there is never word of that in the letters from camp-out the longing is expressed in the plea over and oxer-"wrste often-letters are best of all" Mothers and sisters and friends of soldiers can perform as great service for them with the pen as with the knitting needle. Sweaters and socks at best mean but physical comfort - while letters strengthen the heart.
 If our soldiers are to fight their best we must keep them secure in their faith in our appreciation of their sac rifice. and aware Of the beauty and worth of the homes for whose free dom and happiness they go to battle. Letters to soldiers should be pictures of home, and letter writers should spare no effort to make them cheerful and inspiring. The veriest common places of family life are dear to these exiled lads-the news that mother IS making pickles, that father was ca the soliciting committee for the Lib erty Loan-that sister has joined the high school debating club.

Tfi his standard book on foods he advises us to guard against an ex- eessiyes indulgence in sweets. but he spells the effects of his own appeal when he adds this: ''Sug gar is a quick acting foo' and therefore is especially valEabie to relieve exhaustion" It is particularly useful for soldiers on forced march or for people engaged in any extraordinary effort It is good to know that sugar relieves ex- haustion: but where, oh where, is the ma gical rower that will relieve the present exhaustion of sugar.

l have been employed at various times. according to whether the principal effort of the Germans has been di- reeted toward the western or the east 1 ern front.
 l In August 1914 the attention of the German high command was absorbed by the attack on Belgium and France, while the Russian front was regarded ] time the infantry electives on the western front numbered 1,1e0 battal- ions in 96 12 divisions, each division consisting of four regiments. On the eastern front, the Germans then had 322 battalions comprising 26 1-2 di- visions
 When the battle of the Yser was fought in November, 1914, the Ger west and brought up their effcctsves to a higher figure and at the same time increased the number of battal- ions on the eastern front so that they then had 1293 battalions on the western. front and 399 on the eastern front
 Then came the Russian offensive in Galicia and to check the Russian ad- Germany was compelled to throw more troops on her eastern front, in- creasing the number of battalions there in September, 1915, to 7SS. To
 do this it was necessary to reduce the 1 number of German battalions on the western front from 1293 to 112o. Many divisions were transferred from the eastern to the western front when the Germans gathered their forces for the beginning of the great battle of Verdun with the result that ! in June, 1916, there were 1876 German battalions on the western front and those on the eastern front were re- duced from 7S0 to 514.
 The German drive against Rumania was made possible by adding more than 300 battalions to their eastern battleline,e bringing the total on the eastern front to S99. This was done without reducing the number of bat taHons on the western front below 1900.
 When the French and British began their great offensive operations in July 1917, the Germans were compell- Led to bring fresh forces to the west ern front, increasing their battalions there to 1456 but reducing the number on the eastern front only to 560. Sub seq uently the German battalions along the Russian battleline were increased by the addition of more than 100 bat talionS, bringing the total there to 965 on September 1 of this year These were divided into 92 divisions of three regiments each. During this
 movement the battalions on the west ern front were reduced to 1898, divid- ed. into 147 divisions, and that is be- lieved to have been the number on the-lGerman western front on Septem-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Hoover Pledge Cards.

Mir. Editor: It is well for the wo- men of our land to become members of the "U. s. Food Administration, ,' but what about. the signefs of the dows and publicly saying: T have made no change in my style of cook ing I havee always been economical Such remarks have been made in my hearing.
 Not only that but three cards are. on exhibition in their homes An one row and members of the family say, "HVe use meat, sugar and wheat just as before, but don't waste as much"
 know one family that exhibits no card in the window that has for two weeks gone strictly by rules laid down by the House Card" *.,1
 If any person thinks for moment that signing something and showing a paper to prove it is patriotic, there is another guess coming. This coun- try is at war-with-not Kaiser Will jam alone-every drop of blood in the German empire and good many thousand gallons in. the U. S.
 It is not now a question of what we thought when Germany and the allied nations of Europe were at war, but plainer and plainer each day the fact whip Germany or she never will be whipped. To do it a battle of Bull Run may be necessary, but like the war of the rebellion, when the Ameri- can nSt1On gets Iuily aroused 10 act ual conditions, the roar for war to in sure peace will be sos tremendous flat it will echo and re-echo all around the world. U. s. Of America can not only thrash Germany with all her boasted perfect fighting machine but will force the German army to come out and fight, not hide away like wood chue ks in the ground: Consequentiy to start the good work. going it is oot enough to stick card in your wind ow. but do a little self denial work as well. It is none of my: business who signs cards and about what they do after signing, and: right down at the bottom I don't believe any lady in tends to sign one thing and do another, but too many have been blinded by press dispatches, Made in Germany and do not realize just where we are at. A few ladies in each town to get out and see that every member of the Home Food Administration live right up to the requirements of that admin istraticn will be one move in the right direction.
 Signing and displaying cards and publicly saying, T shall do as I always nave," do not mix well. ..
