Views of the Vigilantes
Why Not a GAsoIinoiess Day
By Cleveland Mofrett of The Wig
 lantes,

why Not GAsoiInoleSS Day
 By Cleveland Mofrett of The Viei- lantes. Why should not men or women who are fortunate enough to own automo- biles deny themselves for one day in seven the pleasure and service of these vehicles and contribute the gas oline thus saved (the quantity could be easily averaged) for the needs of cur armies?
 Gasoline is an in1mer sely important necessity of war; the price is high, the supply is insufficient, and must become more and more insufficient with increasing war demands. Al ready experts tell us we are using three million barrels Of crude oil ev- cry month in excess of our produc- tion!
 And remember. it is gasoline that hurries amouances to the wounded It is gasoline that brings food to the soldiers, ammunition to the guns Without gasoline the French would have lost Nerdun. And we Americans are wasting Q million dollars worth of this precious stuff every day in joy ridinGl Why not cut out ioy-riding, vanity riding, all unnecessary riding? For cur country's sake?
 We could surely do this one day in seven. and that seventh day lat our chauffeurs do gardening or driii- ing. or other patriotic work Suppose 9 hundred thousand American chauf- feurs were loaned to the government by public spirited car4owners one day in seven for immediate work in might mean in these days of labor scarcity! It might mean a decisive victory in the airi It might end the war

MORE CARS AS WELL AS MORE
 SHIPS.

IL is gratifying to learn that re- suits are being obtained from the ef- forts which have been made to bring about better cooperation between +be shippers and the railroads of the country Car shortage has been one Of the great obstacles to speedy trans portation but when the recognftfon of the need of making full use of the rolling stock that Is available results in the saving of 10000 cars of space during the month of July. as report ed by Chairman Harrison of the rail- road war board. il shows what can be done when there is the wifi
 Railroad transportation is of the same degree of importance in ueefin Q the responsibilities of this country in the war as water transportation. There are supplies. raw and finished products. war materials and troops which have got to be moved from points in this country to the seaboard before they can be sent abroad. There must be cars in order to do this. Ev- cry bit of car space must be taken advantage of. Every bit of motive power must be utilized, for efficient service Is an important factor in at tainirS the success desired but it is highly important that every effort should be bent to turning out as much Eai41osu ro4AHS SHOCK 10 meet this need as can possibly be obtained The claim that we need cars as well as ships Is not an empty one. and the need exists among some of our allies even more so than it does in this country There Is no danger that too many locomotives and cars will be turned out through increased activi- nes in this line even though good re- Iults are being obtained from taking a1ll advantage of those which are at : awN nrwwr--~=Y= -sF n-r-T-~--~

Our censorship as now run is rid iculous. Solemn warnings come from somewhere that nothing must be said about train movements of troops, and then military authorities of high rank give it all out. Papers are warned rot to mention the proposed or actual merging of regiments to form new regiments under the new organization plan for the army. Then these mers- CTS are carried out with pomp, re- view by the governor and high army men, and the Information is handed cut for publication. Special warning letters come to the editors not 10 mention anything about a certain ma val movement. saying they must not even intimate that it is has taken rlace, and then thousands of people see it along hundred Of miles of coast line and thousands telephone the newspapers about it. Newspapers are informed that any intimation that troops are moving from enc camp to another, or are likely to go to Europe must not be published. Then soldiers newspapers for publication all about the plans for moving this and that unit from one place to another. Right on top of that comes a Washington
 Rainbow Division" to France as soon as it has been concentrated on Long Island and prepared Then it is an nounced a day later that a big divis- ion of New England troops will go to France as soon as possible. The cen sorship is a joke. One paper observes it as much as possible. Another next door observes no feature of it. The government at Washington breaks it's own alleged rules. The army breaks the rules every day. Either we should lave a censorship or we should not This child's play at suppression of military facts that may be Of use to the enemy is a farce. as now conduct ed.-New Haven Union.

Now we are searching for the truths of food values. and with seri- ous minds people are discovering that man can live by peanuts as well al by bread. For some time there have been peculiar people who ate peanuts as 2 part of their meals and found them good. Now there are those who for purpose of economy make meal largely of peanuts. The demand for peanuts increases corresponding1y And lest any should doubt that pea nuts are a serious articA of food, note ouSly included in the company of up higher-HartfoFd Times.
 Samuel Beardsley, the well known diculous and near seditious statement from his soap box on the Green Sat urday evening when he declared that the soldiers who are going to fslt in France to save democracy will have to fight when they return home to re- establish democracy. There can be hut one effect intended by such a statement for as philosophy or knowI- edge it is worthless. As a means of deterring young men from doing their duty it has merit. But how to keep MT. Beardsley from making near se- ditious statements and not restraining Senator Reed of Missouri and Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin is 9 large problem. Of the two. the latter are the greater evil-NeW Haven Jour- nal Courier.
