cient movements of coal will be start cd in order to take care of the legiti- mate requirements. This applies as well to anthracite as to bituminous coal. Encouragement that we can ex- pect early evidence of the intention to supply New England's needs is fur nished by the ending of the period in which shipments to the northwest get preference over those for other sec tiors. That should mean that from now on the requirements of this part of the country will come in for great CT consideration and from the need which exists for it and the depend- ence which is placed upon the rnanu- featuring establishments New Eng lands legitimate wants in the coal line ought to be fully met.

A PROTECTIVE POLICY.

Without Of course knowing when peac ce will be declared but realizing mat it is none too early tc anticipate the proper protection of the indus tries of the country following such a declaration. the Home Market club at Boston, an organization composed of the manufacturers of the New Eng land states hak taken the right Nacr- tioh through the adoption Of reso- lutiop urging upon the president ar d congress the restoration of a protec- tive policy as a preparedness meas lre to meet industrial conditions fol- lowing the war.
 The resolution we'll points cut the benefit which such a policy has been 10 the country in the past. and it might have gone further and shown that a number of new industries are being built up in this country as the result of the war and with the war serving as a protection against cheap foreign competition. These enterprises have not been started just for the pe- riod of the war. They have been es- tahlished with the hope that they will be permanent and there is every req son to believe from the results ti,a t arc being shown that such will be the case provided the proper sert of on couragen1ent is held out to them through national legislation. Other wise it can be anticipated that they will decline and disappear and the de- velepment which is needed in this country he discarded fer the European trade which is favored by the non- protective policy. And this policy Of protection needs also to be applied to the old as well as the new industries. All of them are vital to the further progress of the nation

 The allies have good cause to feel elated over the success of their latest drive into the territory occupied by the enemy between Arras and St. Quentin. It showed the resort to new methods and a successful application of the idea of a surprise attack where artillery gave way to the tanks in re- moving the barbed wire entangle- nents and overcoming other defenses of the Germans.
 Directed against the line which has been repeatedly referred to by the enemy as impregnable it required but |, few hours for the vigor and dash Of the British to demonstrate to the con- srary and to gain possession of a wide -ction along the western front which
 bound to be of material advantage
 securing certain vantage points for mich they have long been striving. Tut far more important than the vi1- ,ages taken or the prisoners and sup plies captured is the demonstration of the fact that the British possess the ability to 20 forward and that it is rot inproba ble that this success when it has been completed will result in a still greater falling back Of the Ger man forces from other points in the Hindenburg' line
 It is net to be supposei that this is the only assistance which the allies are going to render to Italy but it is bound nevertheless to give the Ger mans much concern for such sweep Ing away Of their defenses only shows what is likely to take placa most any time and they cannot neglect that por- ton of the battle front for the move against Italy. Germany of course will heFittle it. but the significance of the opening of the Hindenburg line cam not be disregarded.

SUGAR.

It is gratifying to learn that there are g carloads of sugar on the way from the west to New England points and there is interest in the fact that the federal sugar administrator has seized 10000 tons bought for the former Russian imperial government which will be. used for reducing the short age in this commodity in the east
 These amounts will mean that the sugar shortage will gradually disap- pear but the very fact that it is go- ing to be available should not cause people to begin to heard much great CT supplies than they are going to need The sugar in this shipment and seizure will unquestionably tide over the period until the new crop comes in when used in connection with that which is now available, but it will be well for buyers to consider the wis., dom of purchasing in small lots until the situation gets strengthened out again
 Much help has been contribute during the past few weeks to relieve the shortage by the decrease in con sumption No small contribution to- wards making the situation what it IS and worse than it otherwise would have been is the practice of hoa arding It is far better that everyone should have some than that a few should have all they want and the many left s1gariess or almost so. And what is true of sugar is likewise true of other things
 Contrary to the usual conditions at such time the price has not gone sky high It has been sold when it could be purchased at the price pre- vailing when the shortage started and for this we have the food administra- tor to thank.

NEW ENGLAND COAL.

From time to time word has been given out that immediate attention was going to be given to the coal sit uatien in New England The very fact that such a statement had to be repeated makes it evident that little success had attended the efforts or accompanied the promises. In spite of the report that there was the ne- cessary shipping available to send coal to New England by water no large coal fleets have been besieging the coast but on the contrary Coal Administrator Storrow found that vessels which were waiting for such cargoes. and had been waiting for some time, were unable to obtain them until he took up the matter per- sonally with the authorities in charge.

Why the .peeke Were Rod.

When the American dcstroyers ar rived at an Irish port the natives were puzzled by the appearance of their steel decks which were painted "a bright red. So when the first Amer ican came ashore, an Irfshman made bold to ask, what makes your decks SO red ?''
 Why they're red hot from the speed tve made coming over" was the quick reply The story has become one of the pet yarns of that port.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES

In my dispatch of October 2s spoke of the dashing and dramatic part taken in the fighting on that and and on the preceding day by Belgian troops upon the French left and al together in the last five days the Bel gians have done extremely well. On the night of the 26th-27th October they raided German trench just north of Dixmude. and after, a brush of hard hand to- hand fighting, they killed all the garrison Of the trench except 16. whom they brought away prisoners including the officer in com mand. On the 18th, small party of Belgians consisting ~of one sergeant and seven men, went out in daylight and raided & German strong po.nt. They attacked it with great dash, and making all the noise they could, with the result that the garrison. consist ing of one ieutenant two non-corn- missioned officers and 21 men, sur rendered to the force of eight.
 On the night of the 28th29th they made series of raids Two of these were into Dixmude itself, where they killed a lot of Germans and got back again One raid was directed against a trench which they found thinly held and only yielded them three prisoners, but another, against a fortified farm was richer and produced g. 4 fifth raid that same night towards strong position on the cross roads in the di- each case, with the prisoners who to- tai altogether no, the Beigians got few machine guns, and the whole Se- rieS of exploits was very dashing and smartiy conducted, and must help to make the Germans seriously uneasy about their coastwise f1ank-Corre- spondence of London Times.
