Foe Would Hail Failure.
A failure to put the loan over tpe

sign OF the weakening OF American
determination and would AFFORD Pots
dam ground for satisfaction in the
timing OF its peace offensive. On the
other hand, a generous oversubscrfp-
ton Of the loan could not fail to- I'M
press Germany with the fact that tho
United States Is more united than ever
in its determination to achieve victory
EVERYWHERE In Washington ono
hears the comment that the tremen-
dous military successes OF the aHies
have forced the cry for peace from tho
Inns of the Teutonic rulers and EN-
peror Williams proclamation to his
troops comes tonight as full con-
fession Of this fact. At the same time
1t is noted that the kaiser says ne
offers" peace, again speaking rs a
victor, and officials here see that little
is pacific In the tone of his address.
Attention is directed to the delusive
character Of the proposal to negotiate
peace on a basis OF the principles enun-
ciated by Presiwent Wilson. The cen.
trail empires it Is pointed out, merely
promise to seek an adjustment based
on these principles, which Is a long
way from accepting the specific terms
outlined by the president, and as
promise is worth no more than the
previous promises of the present Teu-
tonic governments.
Their Promises Worthless.
Mr.. Wilson has said repeatedly that
these promises of these rulers are
worthless and that he would not treat
with them in any way involving the
of their pledges.
Prince Macmillan. the new German
discioses conclusively that
he does not accept the presidents
terms, for instead OF restoring Alsace-
Lorraine to France he proposes to Pile
biscite in these provinces. from which
the majority OF the French population
has been driven. A plebiscite naturally
would result in adhesion to Germany.
Like wise, he does not accede to the
suggestion OF independence for the
and Jugo-Slavs, but
proposes a federated Austria
Call Move Insineere.N
The conclusion here, therefore, Is
that the Teptonic move is merely
scheme to lure the allies into peace
with these suggestions OF
acduiesence in the presidents views.

TO SAVE FUEL IN
HOT AIR FURNACE
Rules Given o., by =. S. Fuel
Administrator for Illinois.

Joseph Harrington, United States
fuel administrator for Illinois, has is
sued the following rules for handling
hot-air furnaces, steam and hot water
plants in the interest of fuel economy:
1. Check draft in stOvepipe near the
turn damper, as this controls largely
the rate at which the fire burns, de-
pending not at all upon the opening
and closing of the cOaling door.
2. The turn damper should fit loose
~ within the pipe, saElc to be kept
partly closed in all mild periods
opened wide in the cold.
3. Use slide damper in cOaling door
only for elimination of gases from soft
or bituminous coal after the addition
Of fresh fuel.
4. Turn extra air into pipe for
checking of general draft. same fur
nishing necessary oxygen for the con-
sumption of gases. Open only draft
in ashpit door for more rapid burning.
5. Heat pipes in cellar thoroughly
wrapped to prevent loss by radiation.
6. With CRATES flat short, quick
stroke of shaker for sitting of ashes,
with glow only to be shown in most
severe weather.
z. Avoid pOking of fire bed to save
the causing of draft holes.
s. Additional coal to low fire be-
fore shaking.
8. Storm windows and storm doors
for economy.
10. Temperature generally at 6S de-
greSs or less, except for invalids or
children. Unoccupied rooms cooler,
with use of thermometers recommend
ed.
IL. Wasteful to allow unusual drop
of temperature at night.
-. Bedrooms should carry lower
temperatures than ones used for gen.
eral living.
13. Two pans or jars of water at
registers or radiators for moisture in
home.

Germany And The Dye Problem

situation within the industry shows
that as good dyes are being produced
in sufficient quantities right now to
meet the demands, as are needed,
and that they are made in America.
The dye manufacturers have been
having considerable trouble with tex
tie manufacturers who have INSISTED
on using the dyes made for wool on
cotton, and dyes intended for silk on
wool. This sort of bJncling has re-
fected considerably upon american
dyes, and has been responsible for
most of the criticism that has been
so freely made. But the difficulty
has BEEN only temporary. and it has
9cen practically remedied.
: The great crowds that gathered To
witness the victories of the American
chemists had the satisfaction to b,-
hold the dye manufacturing process
es in operation; and color for color,
, it was demonstrated that the home
dyes exposed to sunlight and wea-
ther, are in every way equal to the
foreign equivalent. 1t is an interest
, ing co-incidcnt that the same great
firm of Du Pont that has shot cur
enemies full ofh Oles in wartime has
been the leader in perfecting on a
big scale the dye-making industry,
which is to continue to shoot disap-
| p2intment into Germany long years
after the struggles of battle are ov-
er. 1t has all along been claimed that
Cemany's dyostuff industry was to
be a thing to bargain with for inter-
national commercial advantages, and
it was to be an earnest that the
word once more at peace must ear
" resume business relations with her.
Further, it vas Il source of large IN
come and a source of still larger
prestige. Tho duplication of this in
dustry in America must prove very
disquieting to the people over the
Rhine.

manufacturers are winning big bat

trial independence has become assur-
cd for all time.

What 1t Costs Uncle Sam
to Draft Men Into Army

Figures compiled from the records
of the last draft show that it cost the
government almost exactly So for each
man drafted. All but seven cents of
this amount represents the expense of
the draft boards. In comparison with
this it is interesting to learn that the
volunteer system of recruiting cost
$24.4S per man in 1914; S19.14 in 1915,
and $685. between July, 1906, and
April, 1917. These latter figures, how
ever, included the recruits travelling
expenses and the cost of his subsist-
ence prior to acceptance.
