Save Coal by Union Services
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the great need for the con-
servation of coal during the progress of our
war why would it not be good idea for the
village churches throughout the United
States land it might be practicable to a GER
tain extent in cities) to unite in holding union
preaching and prayer meeting services during
the coal burning months? The young peo-
pies meetings and Sunday school could be
held as at present.
Suppose half the towns in the United States
joined in this movement, and there was an
average saving of twenty tons in each town
(Which is very low estmate). one can very
readily get an idea of how great the net re-
suit would be, and this without the slightest
hardship 10 any one and without curtailing
in the least the church's power for good. In
fact, believe it would result in a stronger
fraternal feeling among its members. Ii it
should seem great sacrifice to some, IL must
be borne in mind that this is n time OF
sacrifice. d. Z. GILMORE.

War Relief Pime
A Bitter Arraignment Of Diversions
Which incidentally Raise Money

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I am very glad to note that there Is
general sitting on the activities OF those
"war reliefs" which are nothing but private
schemes with a war label. II seems TO me
that II is also opportune to sit on various
forms of piffle which receive encouragement
in the pictorial sections of the Sunday news
papers.
Try as | will, | cannot imagine what
patriotic golf match" can possibly be. 1t
NAV be said. | suppose, that the admissions
charged 10 see these matches are devoted TO
war relief work. Why not give this money
directly to accredited organizations? The
absurdity of these matches is only exceeded
by our tolerance of two pugilists mauling
each other three thousand miles behind the
firing line. Then we have patriotic dances"
in which youthful females and males have
the time Of their young lives while men are
being killed in the fight for liberty. The

These selfsame young fappers are gotten up
in chic uniforms, respondent in their imita-
tions of army officers. Having decided that
the fatigue caps and service coats Of our
allies show off their charms to the best ad-
vantage, they are showing their patriotism by
wearing them. One sees them in all the tea
rooms in this silly burlesque OF serious
business. What a contrast with the serious
workers. refer to the nurses in their SEN
sibe and serviceable uniforms and TO the

Another Milk Investigation

Whether any new light can be shed on
the much-discussed and much-investi-
gated question of milk production and
milk distribution costs by the Federal
Milk Commission for New York, which
will begin hearings next week, is to be
doubted. AT least this will have been
gained-this body has the power to make
recommendations which will be binding,
under the agreement between the Dairy
mems League and the food administra-
tion at Washington.
All parties in interest, including the
consumers, will have an opportunity to
present their side of the case to this COM
mission. 1t goes without saying that it
would be bad policy to drive the milk
producers out Of business by starvation
prices. The dairy business has always
been one of the chief agricultural inter
ests Of New York State, and it cannot
be allowed TO dwindle as the sheep-rais-
ing industry has done. On the other hand,
the constant fight for profits between the
dairymen and the distributors has got
nowhere, so far as the public is con-
cerned, save TO increase prices to con-
sUmers. This, in turn, has reacted on the
milk trade in general, causing lessening
Of milk consumption or substitution of
lower grades for the better ones previ-
ously used, with bad effect on the health
Of children, reflected in the infant NOR
tality tables compiled by the local Health
Department.
Any milk investigation must start with
two basic ideas-that the producers must
not be driven out Of business, and that the
price must not be raised to point where

American Hearts

The Tribune's telephone has been ringing
all day and its editorial mail has been
swamped by requests for the names and
addresses Of the two American soldiers of
a Canadian regiment in camp in England.
AS reward for promptness, The Trib-
une has given the names and addresses
to first corners.
Over hundred and fifty inquiries ar
rived by noon yesterday. From these good
friends we feel confident that this par
ticular corporal and lance corporal will
have a real Christmas-and more affec-
ton and interest than fall to most fight
ing men with or without families behind
them.
To those readers who have written since
and to those who contemplate writing, we
have this to say Don't stop with your
attempt. 1t is easy enough to find some
other soldier who needs you. We will
assume that you have attended to the
wants of your family. There is always
your neighborhood left. In city that
does not mean so much nearby houses or
flats or jewellers as the circles in which
you work and eat and play. This is no
time for standoffishness or stupid class
barriers. Anybody with a will to help
can find somebody who needs help. Speak
up! Ask your friends. Ask the elevator
man. Ask your grocer.
We wish we could help our readers to
other soldiers. But that would mean rear
ing another organization to receive and
transmit requests. And more organiza-
tons are not the need of the hour, good
ness knows. 1t is more friends that our
soldiers want, direct, interested, personal
friends. Get to work and become one.
We have been much moved by the
openheartedness which this small appeal
has revealed. 1t shows Americans stirred
and eager to help. If any one still thinks
that the war is unpopular or that we are
a cold, unresponsive people, we suggest
that they come down and read our batch
of letters. America is all right. We
haven't had many doubts on the subject.
But any that we might have had have
been buried beneath this avalanche of
good will.

number Of troops upon an unsuspecting
flank Of the Northern army, fell upon it,
almost destroyed it, and might have in
sured the destruction of Hooker's army
had he not been MORALLY wounded at the
critical moment. This was surprise
attack wholly comparable to Byng's
achievement at Cambria this week.
Let us not be deceived either by victory
or defeat. This war will not be won by
new devices or by single battles. The
greatest thing that can be said for the
British army in the present moment is that
it has been able to Outright the German
army, to surpass the Germans in the use OF
all weapons of contemporary warfare and,
in the case of General Byng at Cambria,
as of General Allenby at Arras this
spring, has been able to bring off sur
prise attack of great proportions and con-
siderable success. So far, General Byng's
achievement does not measure up to Cen
eral Allenby's either in the Importance OF
the ground taken or the number of pris-
oners and guns gathered in. At Arras
Allenby took Vimy Ridge, captured twenty
thousand prisoners and more than two
hundred and fifty guns. At Cambria
Byng has advanced perhaps mile fur
Their, but has not surmounted any obsta-
cles comparable with Vimy Ridge or made
any capture of prisoners comparing with
Allenby's.
Credit for the victory belongs with the
general; the character of the victory
holds out no promise that new and short
way of winning the war has been discov-
cred; but it is one more striking proof of
the superiority of British soldiers and
British generals over their enemy-a
proof at least as convincing as that given
by General Petain on the Chemin-des-
Danes a few weeks ago, where he took
eleven thousand prisoners and tremen-
dously strong works by using the old,
familiar artillery preparation.

Can Do Without Luxuries
But What of the People Who Live

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is impossible when reading the in
teresting letters to the editor for some read
ers not to differ in the opinions expressed.
In your issue OF yesterday there appears one
headed "Stop Cleaning Gloves" and as read
| sigh. Another industry which is considered
a luxury to be hampered.
Yes, it is true that people can do without
Injuries, but what about the people who deal
in them and have no other source of income?
1t is a difficult question staring them in the
face.
| have in mind woman who was making
fair living for herself and dependents in
line of goods which is luxury. Her stock
is now dormant and on the same a revenue
tax had 20 be paid. She has place of bust
ness the lease of which has some time to
run, and the rent must be paid But how to
pay money for living and rent when nothing is
coming in is question not easy TO solve. IL
can be answered only by capitalist.

papers few days since that Jacob Schih adj

Burying the Past

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: read in The Tribune of yesterday
what was evidently dispatch from Albany
telling of the death Of Malcolm Clifford, jr.,
in France / don't believe it is fair or right
to bring up what was charged against him
but never proved-after he had made the "su-
preme sacrifice" A man can't do more than
lay down his life, and when he has done that
the act ought to be considered as the greatest
thing he could do, and when the cause for
which he died is the greatest thing in the
world the glory of his death ought to cover
up any past, and the past should not be
brought to notice again.
am sorry you printed that notice, for |
believe that what Donald Hankey said is
true: "But If they lived amiss they died
cloriousy, with smile for the pain and the
dread of it. What else had they been born
for? It was their chance. With gay heart
they gave their greatest gift, and with smile
to think that after all they had anything to
give which was of value"

Causes Of Temperance

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your article entitled Manhattan on
the Water Wagon" seems to prove that in
creased temperance is due to increased work
and industry, and not TO increased agitation
or TO enacting more prohibtory laws.
This conclusion will not be palatable to
the members of that great army of profes-
sonal drink reformers who are going up and
down our land seeking to arouse their au-
diences to give more time, money and
attention to 1.-THE cause Nor will it be
desirable for these organizations. which now
collect annually millions of dollars, to admit
that, after all, industry is more potent
factor for temperance than selfish propa-
ganda which is conducted under the name
Of moral reform.
The Tribune is to be congratulated for
having furnished the facts which refute the
claims of those who, by using "the war; as
stalking house, proceed to exploit their
cuack remedies for prohibition.

Sc cents for a package Of six and a hall
pounds, to be sent to her soldier son abroad
In this letter she refers to the contents as

it can be delivered. Heavy fruit cake is ex-
pensive to make and to send. Candy, to-,

The Peanut to the Rescue
tFrom The Minneapolis JourndD

from The Minneapolis Journal
The American peanut, which till recent
years was held by those who consumed it at
Give bag" as confection and joke, has
risen to the dignity of a food, and a first
class food at that, taking a place in the pam
try alongside of corn and wheat. In the cot
ton belt it has filled the empty cottonseed oil
barrel. where the boil weevil has ravaged the
fields, and incidentally has turned the cotton
farmer from his destructive one crop system
Of tillagc to a sane diversified programme.
In Texas, where the boil weevil has done
its worst, they have planted this year 100000
acres of peanuts, or twice the acreage Of last
year Georgia planted this year 400 900 acres,
az against 10000 last year; and the entire
South planted this year more than 100000
acres, as against less than 100000 last
season.
The peanut produces not only food for man,
but grain and forage for stock. Peanut hay
is equal to clover and alfalfa as a forage;
While hogs are fattencd on the nuts, which
they harvest themselves, making as high rs
400 pounds Of meat to the acre.
As human food the roasted peanut is said
to be an almost complete ration, while pea
nut oil is now one of the dependable sources
for the vegetable oils that are compensating
for the growing shortage Of animal fats. Cot
tonseed oil has already become n favorite
shortening in the American kitchen. and
much Of the so-called olive Gil We use is
squeezed from the peanut.
The peanut in this year Of war Is bringing
up the fat reserves. and in no poor way
either, for it furnishes perfect substitute
for lard. As butter the ground peanut is
rapidly coming into popular favor and is
driving n considerable amount Of dairy butter
of the American sandwich.

Declare War Against All Our Enemies

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems TO me that it is your duty as
we'll as your privilege, as spokesman for a
great American newspaper, to create pub
LEFTY campaign urging that the United States
declare war against Austria-Hungary, Iur-
key and Bulgaria, and not to relinquish your
efforts till Congress has taken such action.
The Importance of this step has not been
sufficiently brought before the people.
The countless reasons for such a move
readily present themselves, especially at a
time when we are all hopefully watching
the efforts being made to establish centrali-
zation of control and complete military CO.
operation with our allies, and at time when
we are beginning TO appreciate the uncanny
notifications Of the spy system Of the Cen
trail Powers. ii. ii.
