PROGRESS IN THE STOMACH WAR

THE Government announces that exports
- of foodstuffs increased from $9s 900, 900
in October to $780, 900 in November.
Exports OF foodstuffs for the first eleven
months Of 1917, however, were little greater
in value than for the corresponding period
of the preceding year, and imports were
valued at more than half the value OF
exports
Money values, it appears, are not ade-
Guately expressive of tonnage, owing to
the fuctuation Of prices. The gain in No
vember over october, nevertheless, is suffi-
ciently large to have meaning. particularly
as little change in prices took place. The
meaning is that the food conservation
campaign is beginning to produce results
and we are furnishing food in greater vol
ume to our allies than formerly. This is
highly satisfactory. for the fight IS rap
idly becoming a stomach war.

BEWARE PNEUMONIA.

A NUMBER OF persons have been killed
"A during the las, few months by noxious
gas escaping from automobiles which were
kept running in closed garages. The local
gas company continues daily to warn pa.
irons to use extreme care in turning off
the gas and watching jets. Statistics for
last week indicate that pneumonia IS more
dangerous than gas-poisoning. 1t can
probably be as easily avoided by proper
care. With the coal shortage acute and
many houses necessarily inadequately
heated, precaution is a good preventive Of
disease. Unnecessary exposure OF every
sort should be avoided. no cold should be
neglected and ventilation should be looked
to at all times. There is nothing more i'm
portant than the preservation Of the
health of the community.

BETTER TANKS NEEDED

In u number OF respects the tank promises
we'll In recent actual performance, for one
thing. the wholesale use of tanks obtained
the British the most brilliant success that
they have won against German troops But
theory goes in advance OF practice A car
capable OF going five miles an hour across
fairly level and dry country, Of crushing
walls. BARRIERS wire entanglements and pill
boxes, Of crossing shell holes and trenches
or resisting artillery shells would play the
same part on the battlefield that n mounted
knight In full armor played on n battlefield
OF Bouvines. 1t would dominate the field
only the heavier artillery could touch Il
The British tanks cannot go five miles an
hour nor fiatten all field obstacles nor with
stand explosive shells from field guns striking
in vital spots. But they can come near
enough doing so to be able TO pierce the
enemys line for five miles In one day. Yet
these monsters are small. no higher than n
mans head, no longer at the base than n
motortruck. Their design, with exposed run.
ming gear and thin steel plates is obviously
vulnerable.

phatically deserves that overworked term

WAR AND STAMPS

TNHIRTY- SEVEN new spaces In the stamp
l. albums of coming years already are as
sured as, a direct result Of the status OF the
United States as a belligerent Power. II Is
not customary for a nation to wage war
without providing something of interest to
philatellsts. The South and Central American
countries which have aligned themselves with
the Entente have not yet issued war stamps,
but It Is expected that some or all Of them
eventually will do so.
The contributions of the United States In
this respect are various Most Of them arise
out Of the war tax legislation enacted by
Congress. Twenty-one documentary revenue
labels soon made their appearance. ranging
In values from one cent to $1,000. for use on
Wills, Deeds conveyances and kindred legal
papers. This practice was adopted by the.
Government in Civil War days, and resump-
ton OF It now will turn millions of dollars
into the nations war Golfers. The tax on
playing cards was raised from two TO seven
cents, thus making seven-cent revenue 10
dsp ace the lower denomination.
The Postof1ce Department did not put out
a new three-cent adhesive to meet the In
creased letter rate, but when the extra neces-
sary millions Of the current three-cent value
were printed their color proved to be pale
violet, instead of the customary purple. These
pale violet specimens have appeared per-
forated on four sides. perforated only YER
tically. perforated only horizontally and with
no perforations at al. thus creating four
varieties. Then the Government introduced
the three-cent envelope. and this has appeared
thus far In purple on white. amber manila
and blue paper, II Is said the p,stal au-
thorities were not quite satisfied with the
fact that the color is so dark. and that the
next printing will show these envelope stamps
In lighter shade. which. of course. would pro-
duce another four varieties.
The foregoing chronicling accounts for
thirty different stamps In addition, the Gov
ernment Is planning thirteen-cent denomina-
tion. to meet the combined new letter rate
with the special delivery or registration fee.
Then there are the twenty-nve-cent war saw
ings and IS war thrift stamps, which are
CLASSIFIED In the philatelist's revenue division.
The standard American albums and cata-
logues are to provide spaces and quotations
for these. the assent Of the Government hav-
Ing been sought and obtained. Under this
plan collectors will put these in their boolss
and the dealers will lay in stocks Of ,thep,

and every man of them an example or

Some Popular Pieces of Verse
Cursed With Plurality of
Parents

COME time ago we brushed the dust
~ Of time from the rhyme of "IIoch der
Kaiser made famous by the late Admiral
Coghlan. and reprinted it in these columns,
ascribiEg its authorship to A, NJ. Il. Gordon
a Scotchman. then writing for the Montreal
Herald Now comes a correspondent to
question Gordons claim 10 it, giving the
credit TO another journalist. whose name, so
far as We know. was never before brought
forward in this connection
Gordon is dead and cannot now defend
his slender claim to fame. and the proponents
of his rival should produce something more
than clrcumstantlal evidence before they are
permitted to wrest from Gordon that which
seems to be his little all.
The objects of literary controversy are
usually orphans, or half orphans the ques-
tion Of paternity seldom arising until after
the death Of the real or supposed parent
and "Hoch der Kaiser is only one of many
bits OF verse or prose which have become
the bones OF such rosthumous contentious
There was published in this city in 1906
the first volume of verse Of a writer whose
name modesty forbds here to mention. In
his little book, "Canzoni," was included
bit Of negro dialect called THE Kettles Song
of Home" A week or so after the books

Cleveland wrote to him and pointed out that
the same poem word for word WAS among
the contents OF Ben Kings Verse" pub

writer knew very we'll that the child was
his own. but he made II his business to go
back over the files of the local paper in
which It was first printed. and after much
labor finally located it in an issue Of Sep
tenber, 1892. He then challenged the pub
fishers OF Ben Kings Verse" TO show an
earlier publication for King. They were
unable to do so. but stubbornly insisted
| upon Kings right to the thing. The credit

about in this fashion, Ben King who

signed, and these were gathered together

phian had run anonymously in the paper
for which he was then writing In this city.
