been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.

WHAT WERE
.ITS OBJECTS.l

Secretary Baker declares of Perish
ing's column that from its entrance
into Mexico its work has been char
acterized by efficiency in the pursuit
of its objects" Its pursuit of Villa,
however. was never undertaken. Ham
pered by the inef1ciency of the depart
ment at home. thwarted by C~arranza's
orders. deserted by the administra-
ton, Pershing and his men settled
down at Colonia Dubblan and gave
temporary security to the people of
that region who had suffered much
from the bandits and who feared more
from them. Maybe this was the OBJ
ject for which Pershing was sent
down there. If so, it does not COM
port with the orders that were at
first given to him nor with the false
impression which was proclaimed of
those orders.

A TIP FROM GERMANY

The most cutting comment upon
the military unpreparedness of the
United States does not come from the
lips of any partisan critic of the ad-
ministration in this country, but from
a high ranking official of the German
empire. He processes unconeern over
the entry of the United States into
the war because. as he puts it, the
war will be owe before the United
States is ready to begin hostilities.
Yet there has been warning enough.
Two years and a half have elapsed
since Belgium was invaded and Ar
mageddon began. More than a year
ago the President preached the doc
trine of falling sparks throughout the
West. Yet nothing has been done
except to try TO authorize the taking
over of munition plants, which are
doing something, to be operated un-
der the direction of administration
officials, who are doing nothing. The
sarcasm of the Germans is well
founded.

NEED FOR ADEQUATE


The National Association of Manu-
facturers has issued a special trade
bulletin scouting the probability Of
any disastrous effect on our trade be-
cause of German submarine activities.
The bulletin declares:
whether or not a state of war
develops between the United States
and the central powers, the area Of
submarine warfare is not likely 10
be greatly changed, as naval authori-
ties deem it imperative for those
powers to secure their aims that they
should concentrate their submarine
energies in the waters of the western
group of the entente powers as linn
tied by the declared boundaries of
the blockade war zone. This would
leave the waters of the great oceans
practically as safe as they are at pres
ent. Consequently, a possible
curtailment of trade with western
Europe by submarine warfare will
necessarily operate to open up addi-
tional opportunities for business in
the regions which cannot be materi-
ally affected by submarine operations
and which include the rich markets
of all Latin America, Asia, Australia
and Africa"
But, in the event of a state of war
developing between the United States
and the central powers, is there any
hypothesis on which to base the state
ment that those powers will concen
traits all their energies within the
boundaries of the war zone now de
clared to be in a state OF blockade?
The blockading in a limited war zone
of the products of a country, and con-
Quoting actual warfare against that
country, are two different matters.
In the former the blockading powers
seek to prevent the delivery to the
enemy of foodstuffs and equipment;
in the latter we have an enemy with
which to deal, bent on wholly destroy
ing our trade, no matter where bound.
Germany gave an exhibition of her
ability in that direction when she
sank about thirty vessels in the South
Atlantic some weeks ago.
In the event of our entering into
war with Germany, defended as we
are not by submarines that will do
everything but travel, a fleet of Ger
man subs" operating in the South
American lanes of trade could pick
off our ships as easily as a good
gunner smashes clay pigeons. Sena-
tor Miles Poindexter wants a hundred
submarines, eighty coast and twenty
feet, to be hustled to completion inn
mediately. He has introduced an
amendment to the naval bill provid-
ing for them. The amendment should
be accepted and construction started
at once, whatever the cost. Every
day of Democratic delay may bring
its long period of national r%etribution.

CARE Of CAR IN
FREEZING Weather
Do Not Wash Your Auto

Now that freezlng weather IS here

Now that freezing weather is here
again. the problem Of proper care Of
the automobile finish comes forward.
The old clay your car away for the
winter" idea has almost entirely passed
away and the percentage Of owners who
run cars all season Is increasing year
by year. Providing the car owner uses
little care during freezing and thaw-
ing weather. he need not have his car
finish married to any marked degree.
The paint OF a car is composed Of
three principal parts. First the foun-
dation or printing. coats, second, the
color and third, the protective coat.
The protective coat is a heavy, hard
coat Of transparent varnish which pro-
iecfs the softer coloring base from the
lnroads Of the weather. III this pro-
iective coat is kept firm, the color coats
vii hold their original brilliancy.
The following advice on the care Of
the automobile finish in winter has Just
been received by +. q. Taylor from G..
