UNWARRANTED TALK.

Efforts which are made for the pur pose of bettering conditions in the immediate vicinity of training camps where such large numbers of young men are located are to be encouraged but there can be no Justification for making statements which are so exaggerated as to leave no semblance of truth Unless there is evidence with which to back them up those who attempt to set them forth in a public address are causing untold harm to the country because of the effect which such wild baseless stor- ies are bound to have upon those who have sons, brothers or other relatives in the cantonments and those whose kin are yet to be called for service in the national army.
 That Mrs. Grace Humistor knew little or nothing about what she was talking when she made grave charges about immortality at one war camp, and without specifying another told of what her hearers and the readers of the reported statement were expect cd to accept as facts regarding con ditions outside Of that training place, is shown by the manner in which she has hedged upon being call ed to account for her statements by Major General Bell concerning the designated camp and by the govern inent relative to the general condi- lions which she depicted. If she was looking for a job as camp inspector it can be understood that there was method in her wild assertions, but in asmuch as she has made them she should be forced to disclose the evil dence. and if that cannot be done she should be made to retract. If such conditions exist they should of course be stopped, but if they do not exist there can be no toleration of any such hystcrical talk It is a matter where 7nly actual facts should be dealt in

Mr. Ford would in other words build ships as he would automobiles. In that way the ships would be exactly alike. There would not he a lot of labor wasted in getting out special work on one only to have the plans en- tirely altered for the next and all the pattern and other work which was done in constructing one ship made useless as soon as that ship left the ways. Mir. F'ord's idea is to make every bit of labor count and there can be no question but what it is the right one regarding most indus tries. Whether it will be considered wise in connection. with ships is 8 matter to be detersnined but with such large number required it would seem to be just the thing that is needed to- get the best results in the quickest time.

RESTRICTING ENEMY ALIENS.

There are of course bound to be some who think that the restrictions which are being placed upon enemy aliens should include not only those who are subjects of the country with which the United States is at war but also its allies. If such an idea was followed it would mean that not sim ply the German aliens would be reg istered and kept from the barred zones,. but also the subjects of Aus tria, Bulgaria and Turkey would be prevented from doing as they pleased regardless of their sentiments as to the war or such sympathies as they might display.
 Inasmuch as all those counties Germany. Austria, Bulgaria and Tur- key are united in the conduct of the war it can be expected that their subjects will stand together and it is held to be folly to apply the restric- tions solely to the Germans when it is known that many Austrians have been equally active Tn carrying cn propaganda work throughout this country This was evident as long ago as when Dr. Dumba was given his passports and it is perfectly appar- ent that while this country is not at war with Austria that the repre- sentahves of that nation in the Uni ted States are in a favorable posi- ton to provide Germany with such information as :t may require.
 This country has been inclined to show too much leniency to those who are not in sympathy with it. It is time to look for our own protection and we are not doing it until we know where to put our finger on those who may be working against us and this should include the women as we'll as the men.

LETTERS ID THE EDIT01
The FataIisn of the Trenches.

Nr Editor: Renan, the French scholar, carried with him through life, against the influence of the Apostle Paul upon Christian history. Late in life Renan said that '.after having been for three hundred years the Christian Doctor. par excellence, Paul is now coming to an end of his reign' This prejudice of Renan was the result of his interpretation of Paul's conception of the Gospel as based upon the two doctrines Election" and "Justif1ca- tion." The substance of these doc elects, and justifies whom He justi- fies. according to His own holiness and wisdom. 9l order to understand why those doctrines have been so infuen- cial, we must go deeper. To many of us Calvanism appears as in religion what Darwinism is in science Let tus describe it as the philosophy Of necessity" or ''F,ataiisrn of nature What we call CaivanisTn is but one de/lition or interpretation of one of thought is Fatalisn. The spiritual philosophy of more than half the hu- man race is today vested in Fata1isn- inc his or her own deeper moods. Down there somewhere they will find the thought which has bred all the fatalistic phiiosophies of the universe. IS dUSoluItIy CeTpdln that ChiS thought will come to the surface in any profound crisis of life. This pre- pares us for the statement which is made by observers of European thought today, that the revival of re- liHion that is sweeping through the warning nations is really a revival of fataiism. One keen writer has de- clared that if it was not for . this thought the soldiers in the trenches could not live through the fearful strain. Very soon "the soldier" and his associates begin to say to than selves and to each other: We won't be killed till our time comes. And then we can't help it..' The purpose of what is here. written is not con troversiaj. It has nothing to do with the acceptance or denial of the theoio- gy of John Calvin. It is an effort to interpret one of our elemental experi- ences. It is fact of immense irn- portance in our understanding of men that in the pinch they instinctiveIy reach out for the support of the Eter- nal. Whatever our faith, or lack of faith, when face to face with a tragic crisis where our ordinary, superficial ways of thinking fail us entirely, we fall back upon tiie conviction that somewhere in the world there is a will which has arranged our destiny and set the appointed time for us. We are all fataiists in the last anaylisis,

AUXILIARY POWER

When this country started on it's shipbuilding campaign there was a decided. difference of opinion as to whether all steel ships or part stael and part wooden vessels should be cCnstructed. The result was that, in asmuch as it would be possible to secure a wooden fleet by the utiiiza ton of facilities which would Rot be brought into play in the construction of steel ships. both are being turned out.
 The wooden ships will not be as efficient for transoeeanic service as the steel ships hut they will be bet ter than none. In our coasting trade there is big service which can be performed by the wooden vessels if they are not speedy enough to ven ture into the danger zone and where wooden steamers are not available there are the sailing vessels which are much better than nothing at all.
 But while the stickers are slow a method of getting far more efficient service from them has been suggest cd by Thomas A Edison who adyo- cates the equippipg of them with auxiliary power. He would equip them with twin screws giving them more speed and insuring progress whether the wind blows or not. That of course is going to mean the saving of much time and time in the transportation business is certainly valuable. Such ships might not be speedy enough to send through the barred zone where subma rines are to be expected but they certainly could help mate rialiy in speeding up transportation on this side of the water. Edison's Ideas are usually worth needing and there is no doubt much benefit can be gained from this one.
