Materials in Equipment

Raw materials of many kinds are
needed for the equipment of United
States troops. Jute, silk, fur and
linen all find their way into the uniform
of an infantryman, in addition to the
wool and cotton which are used in
greater quantities.
A half ounce of silk is used in the
standard yellow gloves and a slightly
larger quantity in the riding gloves.
Silk is also found in the service hat and
undershirt. Linen enters the equip
ment list in only one article. the shelf
err tent. Jute is used in breeches, coat
and overcoat; fur in the service hat.
Mussel pearl, ivory nut and bone
form the buttons on different articles
of the uniform. Aluminium is used in
the bayonet scabbard, canteen. cup,
knife and meat can. In the slicker are
nine and half ounces of rubber.
Horsehide and leather, wood, iron,
steel. bronze, brass, zinc. copper, tin
and lead are used in various articles.

Happiness and Efficiency

From the Spring field Republican.
A German American-and he was a
real one-was recently heard to say
that even if there was more efficiency
in Germany than in this country
which he doubted-there was vastly
less happiness. and that happiness was
greatly to be preferred to efficiency.
In that there is summing up of the
entire law and gospel. Men in this
world do not live that they may pro-
duce, but they produce that they may
be free and happy.
There is hardly German-American
who has lived in this country 10 years
who would not be miserable if he were
compelled to live in Germany even in
its most peaceful and prosperous times.
German Americans have said that, no
matter what happened, they would not
go back to the old country. Of course.
they would not. But why? Simply
because life in America is a free life,
Astounding in opportunity, and irradiat-
ed with that splendid freedom that
glows in the soul of the man who real
ICES that he can say of himself, as
Henley said: II am the master of my
fate; am the captain of my soul"
Our ideal-even if it be not realized
is that the citizen should be the mas
ter of the state. and not the state of
the citizen. The whole idea of super
states is abhorrent. For there is no
such thing as a super-state except as
it is supreme over the citizen or SUBJ
ject. Such a state is Germany under
the Hohenzollerns. Efficient? Of
course it is. but why should it not be-?
But is that the sort of life we want in
this country? In certain sense it is
humiliating to us that we should be
forced by Prussian crime and agrees
sion to approximate in the slightest
degree to the Prussian model. But
there is no escape. We must, for the
purposes of this war, strive for the
same efficiency as that which marks
the life of our enemy-the enemy of
mankind. But, after the victory is
won-as it will be-we shall recur to
the old standards. There is nothing of
the Prussian spirit in our nature, and
therefore we are in no danger. There
is no nation in the world in which the
common man is as happy as he is in
the United States of America. We do
not believe that there is one German
American citizen in the United States
who would barter his American citizen
ship for the subsection, which would be
his should he return to Germany, to
the general staff. the crown prince or
the military caste. Germany makes
no appeal to any man who has tasted
the sweets of liberty.

Freight Restrictions

Suffering throughout the state
through lack of coal has resulted in an
embargo on all classes of freight except
coal, which will be continued until the
fuel situation is improved. The p. M.
Ry. has also been compelled temporar-
lily to suspend the operation of the two
early morning passenger trains, south
bound at Ais and northbound at SOC.
As result of this embargo no merchan-
disc is being received over the p. M.
and the elevator is not able to ship a
pound of produce of any kind over that
line.

The drawing for exhibition space for
the New York automobile show took
place yesterday morning at the Auto
mobile Club OF America. The task of
allotting> floor space WAS a big one, for
the exposition, which is scheduled for
the period February | to Is, is to be
a big double affair, using both Madi-
son Square Garden and the Sixty-ninth
Regiment Armory. Both these build
ings will be taxed to their capacity
during the first week of the show,
which is for passenger cars and acces-
sories. The second week is for com
mcrcial vehicles, delivery wagons, trac-
tors, ETC., and accessories exclusively.
and for these the Garden only will
be used.
The spaces were drawn, all except
about four each in the two buildings.
The allotments follow:
