 Grant the allies time and Germany is done for. Time will defeat or outwit
 the submarines it will reorganize tho fighting strength of Russia; 1t will bring the American millions into the l field; it will produce dissensions among Germanys allies and eventually lead to apostasies. And it is becoming increas- ingly certain that the allies will have
 the time they need. Russia might have been brought to terms in the late days of the autocracy or the early days of | the republic. but hardly now. A Ger man drive at the heart of Russia would | possible. during the spring months, that the submarine campaign would shake l the resolution of the allies. But all ready the submarine has been assim- Hated to the ordinary sea risks. It rep l resents merely new percentage of wastage and tare, to be compensated by
 the increased efforts of which the allied productive mechai ism is quite capable.
 There is no longer any fear anywhere
 that England can be starved. Nor is
 there a belief that submarine operations
 will seriously interfere with the trans I pert of American troops to France. If
 one of Pershing's troop ships had been
 lost the Germans might take heart. They all arrived in safety, and thou ' sands more will get through the block

Kaiser Attends
 Cathedral Services

M NOTABLY impressive church EA service was that held in the Orthodox Lutheran cathedral in Ber- lin few days ago. The Kaiser and other imperial personages including Dr. Michaelis, Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, General Won Luden- dorff and Count Von Dohna-Schlo- dien, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, were present. The Kaiser being the official head of the Prussian church has the right to preach, and on sev- eral occasions has done so. But since the war began one of his court chap lains has occupied the pulpit whenever his imperial majesty was to be among the worshippers.
 No matter who breaches, however, the King of Prussia is tacitly re- garded as sovereign by divine right. That, at any rate, is Wilhelm's dic- tum.
 The officiating court chaplain preached such a sermon, in the main, as the Kaiser might have preached in time of war. In invoking the divine blessing upon the Emperor and upon General Won Hinderburg, the minister was impassioned in his peti- tion for the field marshal, into whose hands the Lord has laid the German sword" It is presumed that the court chaplain's prayers and his discourse were censored before they reached the public ear, but it may be imagined that if the Kaiser had been officiat ing there would have been dramatic Adeliverance on the mailed fist of Ger many-"and Almighty God" It may be that the court chaplain gave too much honor to Won Hindenburg, es- pecially in recognizing him as the military representative on earth of the Almighty.
 The Kaiser has claimed that posi- ton and no Prussian belonging to court circles has questioned his right to it. It may be that the court preacher slipped cog. If so he will be called to account by the Emperor.

New York, July 22.-(Special)-No oth- CT inference can reasonably be araWh from the recent meeting of the govern ors of federal reserve banks and others who aided in selling the liberty loan bonds than that they gathered in this city in the middle of last week with
 fairly good information respecting the general purposes of the Secretary or the Treasury, MT. McAdoo, in relation 10 the next loan. The reasons are excel lent for inferring that MT. McAdoo has been either directly or indirectly in in- formal conferences with some of the men upon whom he must rely if ne is successfully to sell the bonds of the second loan If he was in conference with them he must have intimated to them that he would be glad to know what their views are respecting that loan As, for instance, he may have asked>the bankers to suggest to nm whether in their opinion the next loan should be for $300O, 100000 or for $2ooo,- l OO9 900 and, furthermore, whether the rate of interest should be fixed at 4 per cent or 31s per cent. He may have asked them if in their view the best time to offer the loan would be in the late
 autumn after the farmers have received their money for their crops.
 Whatever may have been the relation of the secretary with respect to the forthcoming loan maintained by him with the men upon whom he must rely for selling the bonds, these conferences if they may be so designated, have been in the nature of confidential exchange of views.
 Very likely Secretary McAdoo took heed of the example of some of his pre-
 decessors when important financing by the government was under considera- tion. When General Grant was President he was much concerned over the con templated legislation by Congress which the ablest bankers said would, if adopt ed, lead to dangerous imitation, and an overwhelming issue of irredeemable pa per money. President Grant therefore came to New York and met, in confer
 ence at the Union League club. almost all of the men who were influential and of authoritative experience in the bank ing world at that time. He asked many ques tions and obtained the answers which he sought. But not by any of his own or even by any expression of his countenance did he suggest to those who were with him at that time what his own opinion was. They discovered aft | erwards what that opinion was when he 1 formulated it in the form of a veto | of the so-called imitation bill. Some Of them were convinced that this opinion was based upon some. of the answers 1 to the questions President Grant put. 1 Many times Salmon P. Chase, when Secretary of the Treasury, was in con | ference with leading bankers, seeking to obtain their views and intimating in a I general way why he was anxious to ob- | tain these views upon important govern | ment financing, but he was not aecus- toned to impart detailed information | until he had made up his mind what he would do That also was the custom
 ! of John Sherman when he was Secretary
 | of the Treasury. And after he returned | to the United States Senate he confessed
 that these conferences were of the ut
 most value to him, although at them

Secretary Daniels
 As a ReG0rumer

THE United States navy depart U ment has usually had for it's head man of clean moral life, but no secretary has shown such solici- tude for the morals of the officers and men as Josephus Daniels.
 Time was when ration of grog was measured out to sailors every morning, but now only an older gen eration can recall the custom. For many years Uncle Sam's tars have been denied the use of liquor while on ship board. Total abstinence is de- manded.
 Secretary Daniels had not been long in office when he issued an or der prohibiting alcoholic beverages from all naval sideboards. He did not go so far as to say that an officer could never take a drink; but it was forbidden every one, from ensign up

South Best Adapted
 For T'raiming Camps

fNOLITICS and prejudice are 4 blamed by the New York Times for the criticism directed against the government for placing so many of the military training camps in the south. The Times comedies that the south is the best place for the camps for climatic reasons and offers ad- vantages which Plattsburg and other northern camps would not have dur ing the winter months.
 "The country will not be deceived by this political play" says the Times. "The south is the best part of the country for training camps. Moreover, it should silence all ob- iections to southern camps to know that the recruits sent to them will be in the command of Maj. .-Gen. Leonard Wood. He is pre-eminently the ablest general we have to superintend the mobilization and training of large bodies of inexperienced soldiers"
 Such men as Senator Lodge and other members of Congress who have tried to make it appear that the north has been discriminated against in favor of the south because the south

RATIONAL MEAT EATING

 best authorities insist that one-tenth of proteins is enough.
 l It has also been proved by Metchnik' off and others that an excess of pro- teins putrefes in the intestines, and as result toxins (poisons) from which l are absorbed and taken by the blood to the most remote parts of the body.
 The constant presence of these tox- lins. which are frritants, in the blood causes the delicate lining of the ar teries to degenerate, and 1t, with the muscular coats, is replaced by fbrous tissue. Thus the arteries harden and become less elastic before they nor mally should and as a result of ar lteric- sclerosis we see the clinical mani- festations of chronic Bright's disease, heart disease, apoplexy and other chronic degenerative diseases. Htgn blood pressure is one of the early evil dences of hardening of the arteries and many observers have noted that this condition is frequent among those who eat excessively of meats.
 The writer would not be understood as saying that eXCeSSlNe AIo@I O@sAiAo | is the only cause of hardening of the arteries, because focal infections from diseased teeth or tonsils, or rheuma- tism, syphilis, typhoid and other in- fections are also among the causes; but 1t is certainly true that excessive meat eating is one of the greatest causes of arterio- -sclerosis and the dis eases that are associated with or are part of that condition.
 | The men or women who eat meat three times a day should learn that they are surely shortening their lives by so doing; and that headaches, con- stipation and many other troubles that are so common among excessive meat eaters will often disappear when they cut down their meats to rational standard.
 The man who eats excessively of meats at this time is not only selfish and unpatriotic but he is a worse enemy to himself than foreign foes. The self-sacrifce of the meatless days i is splendid but it is finer to eat a small portion only once a day and learn the l iov of feeling fit and well, while do- ling ones bit to serve his country

Brothers in the Cause

"The conscripted army will not be composed of picked men," said Lige Loy. Those who drew the numbers were not selecting any special class of men because it is evident now that very representative crowd of men will be In the new army. I believe that the selection was done on as fair and on a democratic principle as was pos sible. Because of this I think the nien who go will realize that the drawin $ was not partial and will, therefore, go into the ranks cheerfully and willing ly. Professional men and day labor CTS, rich and poor ones all alike will be brothers in the cause"

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

It is hard for father to be patriotic
 when his toes are sticking out of his
 socks because mother spends her time
 at her club knitting socks for sol- diers.
 It is hard to please a woman. If he sticks around the house every night his wife has no use for him, and If he goes out every night she has TO use for him.
 The average mans ambition when he starts out is to have enough money l by the time he is 50 to retire and take | 1t easy. And by the time the average | man reaches the age of 50 his ambition l is to keep from borrowing money dur 1 ing the week so he will have a full
 weeks pay coming on Saturday.
 A man likes to be called "brothcr" | by member of his lodge. But ne hates to be called "brother' by a mein-
 Der of his church.
 | The reason why man wants you to | do all the listening while he does ali l the talking Is because he realizes that l he knows twice as much as you do. 1 The skeletons may occupy closets in winter But a lot of them occupy
 sleeping porches in summer.
 Many a married woman who doesn't l know what size collar her husband wears knows exactly the size collar l her poodle wears.
 I When mother complains that she | isn't getting the change of climate l that the doctor ordered for her, father | is so sympathetic that he hopes the 1 weather will get cooler
 /, It often makes a fool man snickei ] to see the "I'll-bet t-you-envy-me" ex- 1 pression on a boob's face when the l boob is riding Ford that is passing a street car.
 And when you don't get home untl morning you don't need to advertise i the fact. Your days work shows it. l One good thing about a man who 1 shutters is that he seldom tries t. speak unless he has something to say Father is happy when he is having l a good time. But mother is happJ ! when the children are having goct
