CARE OF AMERICAN PRISONERS.

Through negotiations which are to be carried on through Switzerland, the government of the United States will endeavor to reach an agreement with the German government regard ing the treatment of the Americans who are prisoners Of that country Even though some assistance is being furnished those captured by Germany from merchant ships. on French soil or otherwise. it is the aim of this government to see that Americans thus held In Germany are treated as well as the German prisoners which arc held by this country. There are in this country those who are held as prisohers of war OF detained as alien enemies who cannot be safely allowed their liberty about ten times as many as there are American prisoners in Germany. Regardless of the camp where they are located they are given excellent treatment, good food, fair consideration in regard to work as we'll as recreational opportunities.
 It is only right that American pris. oners should be shown similar con sideration. It is known. however how Germany has treated the prisoners of other countries. how it has entirely disregarded it's obligations in other di- rections and it is proper that this country should do its utmost to in sure for its subjects who have fallen into German hands as good care as -s being received by their subjects at the hands of Uncle Sam Even though there can be little faith pIaced in German promises should the agree ment be arranged, it is the least which this country can do.

Then. placing the point of the triangle under the needle, let the youngster guide the needle haphaz- ed it will be found that the square is filled with a beautiful. symmetrical design.

MORE SHIPS.

That there haps heen changes made fin the shipping board and new men called to look after different phases of the work is not surprising. It is a step in behalf of greater efficiency and there has been evidence for some time that this Bas needed.
 In entering upon it's ship building programme this country assumed a big task. There was no question about the need of ships. They were demanded in every direction and in spite of the progress that has been made in constructing new ones. the crying need still exists. Handicap ped seriously by the trouble which arose over the organizing of the board charged with the responsibility of meeting shipping requirements and the establishment Of a sound policy of procedure previous changes were board more harmony and better re- suits have been obtained, but there is need of more speed. There are diff faculties which still stand in the way of the desired production and these it is hoped to overcome by the select ing of c. A. Piez. a talented engineer, recently named as vice president of the fleet corporation. to have supreme a authority in directing the construc- tion of the vessels. and by naming other engineers to push along other features of the operations. both as to steel and wooden ships.
 We cannot allow any organization to stand in the way of better prog ress. If greater efficiency is needed, and there appears to be. the thing to do is to provide it and 1t is to be hoped that the changes made will re- suit in this accomplishment. The i'm portance O. more ships cannot be overlooked

BRIGHT SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES.

While the events in Italy and Rus sia are naturally holding the cepter of the war stage. because of the pos sibilitiep which are involved therein, Il is impossible to overlook the sit uation which prevails in other re- gions.
 While the same conditions appear to prevail on the Macedonian front, where the effect of .he entrance Of Greece into the war has not as yet manifested itself to any appfeeiable extent. the British and French are steadily forging ahead on ehe western front Going ahead a half mile at time may seem slew progress in conn parison with the way in which the Aust-o- Germans are running over northern Italy but it must be real ised that this advance is being made m the face of the sriffest resistance and against some of the hest troops of the enemy. In spite of all Germany can do the. allies are steadily forg- ing ahead, driving salients into terri tory held by the enemy which are bound to mean the accomplishment Of the great undertaking of driving the Germans back to their own soil
 But in addition to this the British ropces in Turkey are striking some hard blows. They are making such progress in the Mesopotanaia region as to cause Turkey much worry and just at present the Turks are on the backward path in Palestine which means that that country. which the central powers have relied upon for much help. is seriously menaced. Thus while there appears to be weak spots in the allied countries there are also those which the central powers pos- sess.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

We are approaching our annual sea- son of thanksgiving, a time of the year when we are accustomed to offer up thanks 10 Almighty God for the many blessings that have been be- slowed upon us.

 As far as signing my name is con- cerned could do so if necessary without fear or favor from any one, but I am not in the market for any lineiight. I would like to ask Mr. Hughes another question. Perhaps it is nobody's business, but 1t would per- haps create more confidence in his po- sition in regard to the increased fares for the common people if it was known how much money he has invested in public utilities for the benefit of those who would be obliged to walk if 1t were not for the railroads. =
 Consistency is a jewel. Come again MT. Hughes and tell. us the income derived from the increased rate of fares. what the expense Of running the railroad is, the amount of money invested by the stockholders and then we will know just how much the pub lie is being robbed. Then you will be talking about something worth the while.

And yet abdominal massage is recommended ss help or cure for various ills, es- rceially for constipation. A method which is so gentle that no baneful effects could possibly result employs systematic deep breathing as the agent.
