The higher up man is In the af.

Canon City or In Washington you can
get a guess on the duration OF the
war. But as a rule the person guess.
ing. knows about as much about tho
situation az he knows about the In
sect life on the surface OF the moon.
OF course no one knows. But those
in closest contact with war matters
do not hope for peace before well into
1918. and then only after much hard
lighting. And perhaps. not for years.
Tbs uncertainty OF what Russia will
do OF course is determining factor.

men at the most. She still has 5,0o0.-
900 mon on the fighting lines. With

Estate Of Eccentric IrIshsxoman.

A very eccentric lady died In County
Meath, says a London correspondent.
After the lady's death no will could
be found, and II was thought she had
died interstate. The solicitor for the
person believed to be next Of kin spent
about 40 days In the house going
through the most extraordinary &C
emulation Of papers. documents and
valuable property that filled the room
In the house and even the hall. Not
only every room, but every corridor
was piled high with loose papers,
books and parcels Of ali sizes and de-
scriptions. and the litter on the stairs
was almost knee deep. Various sums
Of money were found In very peculiar
and unlikely places: In rubbish on the
floors. In band boxes. and in q purse.
and two bank notes for Fl we're actu-

lawyers recovered an immense amount
Of property, including 1900 In bank

WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED
There Has Been Very Little Direct
Management Of Business by Great
Britain and France, However.

Contrary to the common understand
ing In the United States there has
been very little direct management OF
business by the governments OF Great
Britain and France In those countries
since the war began, according to a
report on "the relation Of the govern
ment to war industry" made to the
National Civic federation by Prof. Jer-
emiah w. jerks.
There has been, however. Professor
jerks explains, a rather strict regula-
ton OF industries producing or hand
ling war supplies, but virtually no d.
rect management Of business outside
the regular government arsenals n
certain special factories, few In num-
Der, built by or for the British gov
eminent. The power given the Brit
ish government under the defense OF
the realm act Is outlined In the report
as follows:
ITO require any work In any factory
or workshop to be done In accordance
with the directions of the government
ITO regulate or restrict the carry
ing on of work In any factory or work
shop or to remove the plant.
ITO take possession OF any unoccu-
pied premises for war purposes.
"In actual practice, the government
gets Its work done:
"By paying liberal prices to estab-
lishments for all work done while
guarding against monopolistic or other
extortionate prices.
"By restricting or forbidding he
making of certain classes Of goods
not needed for war purposes.
by prescribing rigidly the order In
which the various classes Of work are
TO be finished and delivered.
"By regulating through various re-
strictions the distribution Of the sup
ply of labor and the conditions under
which work shall be done.
"While the government does not d.
manage establishments" Pro-
fessor jerks says, at does tell what to
do, determine the order of work, con-
troll transport Of goods and materials
In proper order. forbid workmen who
are needed for production Of muni-
to enlist and forbid trade except
under license.
These regulations" he says, "are
enforced by a committee Of subordi-
mates acting In a friendly way BY
unanimous agreement. Their deci-
sions are on disputed questions laid
before them, and are subject to an ap-
peal to their superior officers. Their
classifcadons may be put into effect
by employers or contractors subject
likewise TO an appeal. Disputes Of all
kinds regarding prices, wages and con-
ditions Of labor are settled by COM
mittees representing all parties"

THE "NEWSs AND ADS"
OUR READ

A facsimile issue OF one Of the first
journalistic enterprises on this CONT
nent containing the freshest adyices,
both foreign and domestic" usually
about two months "fresh") presents a
real conception of the preponderant
odds which confronted our forbears
in the first feeble tapping of the re-
sources of North America. The Mary
land Journal and the Baltimore Ad-
vertiser of the issue of August 20,
1873. represents the first small gun
of what is now the Baltimore Ameri-
can. The brave attempts to acquire
a circulation Of some few hundreds
by means Of the post roads exhibit the
enterprise, even at that early period,
of the keenest journalists in the world.
The title page contains a column
long explanation for the very consid-
cradle temerity Of producing a news
paper at all, free and of no party"
II shall always publish with pleasure
whatever is sent me in favor of Lib
erty and the Rights of Mankind"
There are two other columns on the
same page, both of which go at length,
in an editorial manner, into the dis
graceful practice of duelling. A finer
piece of writing no modern journal
could produce. Correct, sedate, and
yet with a punch" that probably left
no reader of that more or less cal
loused day of fighting in doubt for an
instant that duelling was unethical,
unmanly, and, in a final analysis, es-
sentially cowardly. In later days 1t
was through the fine influence of this
growing journal that the u~nlaudable
practice was finally made unpopular.
The last page contained an adyer-
tisement of land for sale by n
George Washington. Mr.. Washington
had for sale some virgin land on the
Ohio and Kanawah, Astounding in fish
and small game" After a careful pc
rusal of Georges "ad" we are of opin-
ion that he was some little real estate
agent.
And then there is Jacob Mohler and
David Evans advertising that they
live only to ply their trade of watch
making, and guarantee to give salts
faction. We wonder what the trade
would say nowadays if one of their
ingenious little lads" appeared in a
modern journal signed by their very
humble servant"
The paper had only one sheet and
IT was folded, making two pages on
the inside. When we disemboweled
the ancient sheet we stumbled upon
some gems of the spreading chestnut
tree-and we found some jokes that
have a suspiciously modern ring.
After immersing ourselves In the
laughs of 1873 we were unholy enough
to declare. resignedly, Nothing new
under the sun"
The little pioneer makes much OF
the astounding fact that, by a lucky
stroke, they have been able to print
the news from the old country as Of
early June-and the sheet was issued
on August 20i
Even in those days ii was an adven-
ture to get married" Right under
meath a choice lot of obituaries the
recent conquests of the god Hymen
are chronicled.

There are more ways than n OF

shires. We've planted some dafydils
in front of our trench"

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITS.
SION OF THE STATE OF
COLORADO

Denver, Colo, July 81, 1917.
To The Public:
Don't wait until snow flies before
storing your winter coal.
AS a precaution and as n patriotic
duty, do it now This applies to the
largest consumer down to the small
est-to the railroads and big manu-
featuring plants down 20 the humb-
lest householder
There is a big job ahead of this
country if it is 20 successfully prose-
cute the war, and Ole of tho prime
features of this job is the question of
transportation, a vital problem as it
relates to the distribution of food
supplies and the movement of men,
munitions and war materials.
Every coal bin filed now will re-
licve to just that deirce The enorm-
Gus demands upon railroad equip
ment which will be made when the
crops are being harvested during the
late summer and fall and when the
government begins the real move
ment of mon and war machinery 20
the European battle front.
Coal can be moved now. In & few
weeks much of it intended for do
mestic uses may have to give way
to the transportation of food pro-
ducts and war materials. That is
why every consumer should take the
precaution to obtain coal now By
doing so he will also perform a pat
riotic du'y by reducing the chances
of a congestion of transportation
ciities later on.
Coal companies can cooperate by
bringing production up to the high
est point. Railroads can do their
share by storing their own coal and
aifording every possible facility for
the quick handling of privately con-
signed shipments. The consumer
can "do his bit" by filing his bin
early.
