LONDON WANTS TO
 SEE U. $. TROOPS

London. Aug. 3-The Daily Mail makes a plea that American troops be given an opportunity to be seen in London before going to France. The paper says Londoners ought to have the chance of showing the Americans the feeling of enthusiasm their ar- rival -excites. It says:
 London needs a heartening scpec- tacle as well as an opportunity to ex- press it's enthusiasm"
 It declares that a column of Ameri- can regulars through the streets of the metropolis would have a rousing reception.

denied the privileges which other life prisoners have had. He saw no one
 but the prison officials and no one saw him. He was kept inside four walls with light from two holes in
 the roof save for a brief bit of exer- else each day. It doesn't mean now that he is going to be allowed to do as he pleases inside the prison walls. He must obey the rules of the prison and he will be given some light work to do which will be in decided contrast to what he has had to occupy his time with for the last four decades.
 It is not to be supposed that this is the first step towards his pardon for such would never be consented to. And while he is being allowed these additional privileges much care must be exercised to see that he does not take advantage of them to gain his freedom. for he has a record for such acts which makes it important that what is being done for him now should not be the means of, his gaining his freedom, since the safety of society re- quires that he should never again be at large.

THAT HADFIELDS BID,

It cannot help being bit discon- certing to Secretary Daniels after hav- ing awarded the contract for making a large quantity of big shells for the navy to Hadfelds of England to be informed that the work cannot be un- dertaken while the war is in progress.
 It was with surprise that the Brit ish concern should submit a bid in view of the conditions at home, and it was even more surprising when it was agreed to fill the order at much lower price and in a shorter time than cnuld be done by the American bid- ders. The explanation of this was that this particular concern was en- gagged in producing naval shells, that the demands of the British and allied navies had not been so large but what it had been possible to pile up large quantities of such ammunition and that in consequence thereof it would be possible and profitable to take on this contract if for no other purpose than to keep the organization intact and the plant in operation.
 That rosy picture of British pre- paredDess has now been destroyed by the declaration of the minister of mu- nitions to the effect that he has full charge of the steel output and such work is forbidden so long as the exi- gencies of war continue. This of course means that England has enough for its munitions workers to do and plenty of opportunity for utilizing it's steel supply for itself before paying attention to outsiders. all of which appears reasonable. but it is difficult to understand why it should have been Indicated in the first place that the delivery could be made in accordance with the bids regardless of the war.

THE BATTLE CRUISER PROBLEM

Just how the problem of construct ing the battle cruisers. which the United States navy needs so greatly, is to be solved has not been deter mined. An unusual demand is being made upon the shipbuilders. They are being asked to produce something which has never been done before in the way of speedy and powerful fighting ship.
 Other nations have battle cruisers but they are not the equal of what those desired for the American navy will be if they are constructed along the lines set forth in the specified tions. It Is because of this that the sfipyards are unwilling to bid upon the proposition. They are uncertain where the requirements will take them and for that reason they desire to let the government yards build these cruisers or they will undertake the job on per centage basis.
 In order to get the desired speed for these cruisers the government asks for the equipping of the ships with engines of 1S9,000 horse power. Just what that means can be best under stood by comparing it with the en- zines which are placed in some of the big liners and when it is found that the Mauretania for instance has en- zines of but 7S.O00 horse power it can be appreciated that to increase that by two and a half times in one leap means an engineering feat of no slight consequence. There is thus little wonder that they are unwilling to take the risk of constructing such a vessel for fixed sum and run the chances of experiencing loss. They consider it a move in the dark and they are unwilling to take the responsibility.

s.;auLp HAVE BEST MACHINES.

Tn view of the experiences of the twc army aviators who became lost in the wilds of northern Mexico in a light over that country from San Die Eo. there ought sto be a thorough in Festigation to determine whether they were handicapped by machines which were out of date or by lack of the proper equipment for making the, trip which they had undertaken.
 It fs recalled in this connection that much the same sort of experience was gone through by some of the aviators who were connected with the flying corps assigned to the punitive ex- petition when it moved into Mexico The old machines in use and the lack of high powered aeroplanes caused much embarrassment and prevented the expedition from receiving such as- sistance as it was entitled to. The Hviators were apparently doing the best that they could under the cir cumstances but they suffered from poor equipment They lacked an inn portant essential and 1t would be we'll to determine if that was the real cause of the recent case where avia- tors were stranded and nearly lost their lives from starvation.
 Congress has made an appropriation for new flying machines and 1t is highly important that every effort should be made to equip the aviation corps with the best machines obtainable, the same as is done in fitting out any other branch of the national defense. There are perils enough in flying without forcing the aviators to take unreason- able risks in low powered and poorly equipped aeropIanes.

MUST MEET COMPETITION:

Tn connection with the desire of this country to develop its trade with South America and to sell more goods In that market than it has in the past some good advice was offered last year by one acquainted with the South American market when he said that the trouble with the effort to increase our trade with the countries to the south is that we insist upon their talk Ing what we think they ought to have Instead of finding out what they want and producing it for them.
 This is borne out to a certain ex- tent by an Argentina importer of American specialties when he says that the chief objection to an in- creased trade with the United States Is the reluctance of the business men of this country to meet the conditions to which the Latin Americans are ac- customed, and in saying that he re- fers to the fact that where those coun- tries have been doing business on a credit basis with other countries, the United States insists upon cash, and apparently that sets up an obstacle which stands in the way of better trade relations.
 five are going to compete with Eu- ropean nations it is only reasonable to suppose that we must meet them on the question of credit as well as upon goods. otherwise it can be expected that their foreign purchases will be made in the channels where they can get the best accommodations, every thing considered. Inasmuch as this very point has been raised before, it must be apparent that we cannot ex- pect to make any very great inroads Into the foreign field until this, as well as the other wants. is catered to.

Hungarian soldier. It Is a fact that the civil population is more tired of the war than the man in the trench. Usually the soldier ras come to look upon miIffsry service as a duty that must be done. In many instances the psychological effect has been that the man has come to look upon military service as did the mercenary in cen turies gone by. Work at the front has become a profession with him. He has no other cares than those related to his own person, and death has lost it's terror by almost daily contact. A sad feature of this is that the man has been completely weaned away from his familp. It is nothing unus- ual to have soldiers on furlough return to the front before the time is up. At the front they are carefree and all worry belongs to the officer.

doesn't cost anything to try it, hence
 it is generally neglected.
 - A person who hasn't time to do things usually has plenty of time to waste. We all have time enough to make the most of: every opportunity;. but opportunity is sadly neglected by us all. There is no lack of time, the lack is wholly in us.. We are not dis posed to r.t ke the most of our mo- ments. Killing time is the way we have of 1essening our earthly prospects, chilling hope and making the eternal
 veritieS seem uncertain. There is bit of science in knowing how to use time. The quarter hour before din- ner is no time to pop the question: and it is no time to mow after dark No takes talent to discover the physiological moment, and so far as we are able to judge it is worth dis covering. Time has a way of disclos- ing secrets without being asked any questions. If we do not wrest from Time all he owes us he will be sure to get from us all we owe him. The golden moments lost pay no dividend. There is no use of pleading: "Back- ward, turn backward, O Time, in thy flight, make me a child again just for tonight" for he will not do it. Now was designed to fit time. Do 1t now and time will not. be wasted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Compensation.

MT. Editor: Since all corporations and employers are held to be respon- sible for the welfare of their work men and are compelled to compensate injured workmen why should not a medical association which compeis citizens to submit to inoculation which sometimes cripples or for life makes invalids of them, also be made to pay damages for injuries done.
 The Homeopathic Envoy makes this inquiry:
 A city must pay for accidents to citizens for which it can he made re- sponsibie. So with railroads and so on. This being the law why should not, the health boards, or their eTn- ployers, the city. county or states be held responsible for the injuries caused by their acts? They force va rious vaccinations and treatments on a community with the result that some are permanently injured and some die from the effects"
 If our children are para1yzed, or made blind. or their limbs rot off or have to be amputated because of this practice, why should not those who profit by the transaction, or the state
