tion has changed it's mind and Gen
eral Wood will remain in command of
the most important division of the
army, and if moved therefrom it will
be to a place of even greater import

Insomuch as the determination to
give General Wood what is considered
the least important military command
in the country was based solely upon
political feeling the fact that the Gov
ernment has abandoned it's intention
indicates that political consideration

War and the Church Work.

Religious bodies and societies generally report
their work affected adversely by the presence Of
war. Money for carrying out plans already in
operation, to support missionary work and to
maintain established institutions Of the various de-
nominations is falling short of requirements. The
American Bible society reports not only de-
creased output, but considerable deficit in its
operating funds, and calls for greater support,
that its activities may not be hampered. Other
bodies engaged in advancing the Christian re-
ligion make similar reports and pleas This state
of affairs might have been anticipated. Millions
of dollars that have heretofore gone to church
work are now diverted to other uses; and activi-
ties just as essential in their way to the cause of
religion, the Red Cross and the Young Mems
Christian association the Belgian relief, and other
such imperative charities, have absorbed the gifts
that might have gone to defray the cost OF Bible
publication and distribution or the maintenance
of missionary effort at home and abroad The sit
uation Is not serious, but the churches must be
content to let great plans for extension work
stand in allegiance until the more pressing de-
rnands on generous givers have been satisfied. Re-
gion is not being forgotten. nor neglected; relief

Limitation of food exports from the United

Such action is based entirely upon war condi-
tions and as such is we'll warranted. 1t is not
only intended to prevent the possibility of sup
plies falling into the hands of the enemy, but will
aid in conserving stores of food and clothing
needed for our own use. This will not be done

out from tables of experience gathered since the
war began. The predcament of the neutral ma

Blowing Hot and Blowing Cold.

Our amiable hyphenated contemporary, the
World Herald, is evidently having a trying time
of it to keep on both sides Of every question and
at the same time maintain its seat on the fence
On Friday its omniscient editorial oracle deigned
to give congress this sage advice:
"The burden of the war taxes should be
placed upon luxuries and not on the necessities.
We spend annually for liquor, tobacco, jewelry,
motor cars, candy, chewing gum and ice cream
more than $5,000,000000. Such articles should
bear great part Of the cost of war. Even if
the tax were so heavy as to reduce the consump-
ton, the nation would not suffer greatly from
that"
Yes, there It Is in big type, in just those words
right on the editorial page of Fridays World
Herald But something unexpected evidently
happened over night, for Saturdays Word-Herald
in its regular editorial scream turns a complete
somersault The oracle seems suddenly to have
discovered that what on Friday were luxuries that
ought to be taxed out of existence, had on Satur-
day become the necessary comforts and con-
veniences which every well regulated household
should possess To quote again from the hy-
phenated:
at is strange notion of the national welfare
that discourages rational ure-seeking and
recreation. A phonograph II you can afford it,
is not waste. A motor car, if you have the
means, judiciously used, may be wise expendi-
ture President Wilson, himself, plays golf and
goes occasionally to the theater and ball game,
because he knows it makes him better man.
In war time it is more important than in peace
that the industrial and commercial activities of
a nation continue unimpeded."
Yes, that's the way it reads on Saturday after
the hyphenated editor had hunch that it would
be wise economy" for him to back-track from
some Of his foolish notions. But which did he
really meane What he said on Friday or what he
said on Saturday.
