BUSINESS EFFICIENCY
LECTURE AT ELKS MONDAY

L. F. Zehring. expert lecturer of the
National Cash Register company, ad-
dressed the merchants and business
men of this city at meeting held
at the Elks Theatre Monday night.
The address was interesting and edu-
cational, dealing mainly with success
in business and how it can be as
sured and the difficult problems
mastered if the proper methods are
carried out.
The chief feature of the evening
was the three reel Essanay film.
entitled Troubles of Merchant and
How to Stop Them. Every one at
tending the lecture gained better
knowledge of modern business sys-
tens.

ENGINEER CHIEF is VICTIM
OF THE PROFITEERS
Providence JournaD

Promptly upon the departure of
Major General Black, chief OF engi-
neers, for France a few weeks ago
the owner OF the house occupied by
him in Washington is said to have
notified the family that the rent
would be two hundred and fifty dol
lars a month instead of one hundred
dollars, Upon learning of this, the
chairman OF the District of Column
bia committee in the House of Re-
representatives. INTRODUCED a resolution
authorizing The President to cor
mandeer" the property.
Few Lines Are Free
1t seems a pity that the magnitude
of profit-grabbing operations pre-
cludes the general application of this
remedy throughout the country. The
adoption OF piratical processes in us
! ing the exigencies Of the war for the
! e>actior of extortionate profits from
! helpless con. yn,ers is about the ug-
liest public spectacle at the present
time. There are very few lines OF
business that are free from it. and
] the prevalence OF the unscrupulous
greed is calamitous. 1t has been rt-
vcaled, perhaps, to a smaller extent in
( house rentals in general than in many
other lines OF revenue production but
! in some communities it has become
notorious and nowhere has it been
so bad as in Washington, where the
housing problem has become really
critical
Remedy In Resolution
The House resolution in the matter
of the Black residence provides for
the Generals occupancy OF the house.
If he so desires. until one year after
the conclusion of the war, the rent
meanwhile to be as heretofore, one
hundred dollars a month, with reduc-
tions for repairs and maintenance ex-
penses. In this and hundred other
directions the Government may have
to come to the relief of millions of
lis if the profiteers do not show
some disposition to be reasonable.

WAR Is MORAL ISSUE
FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT
(By Bishop c. B. Brews.er)

This war is supremely moral is
sue 1t is against the devilish doc
trine that might makes right. 1t
means honor against perfidy, freedom
against tyranny. humanity, against
brutality. Never was our country so
evidently in the right and on Gods
side. 1t is privilege to stand by
the country
Patriotism, however, demands more
than standing up when the band
starts "Thc Star Spangled Banner,
Devotion to country has made a big
difference to the young man in the
army or navy. 1t ought to make
some difference to the rest of us.
The least we can do is to back up
our fighting men, ourselves enlist,
each and every one, in some service
and lift our share Of the burden.
Patriotism must be personal, taking
hold of us. and also practical, TAX
ing shape in definite service,
Plenty For All To Do
There is one thing every one of
us can be doing Winning the war
requires vast sums of money. This
for democracy and demands the CO.
operation of everyone. II you can
not buy Liberty bond, you can in
War Savings stamps and certitlcates
make safe investment al compound
interest, which, moreover, Will be
really helping the country in this
time of need.
Work Is Democratic
1t is democratic plan. 1t makes
each person a stockholder in the
United States government, Boys and
girls can put their pennies into this
rather than the slot machine and
get others to do the same. Think
what it will mean to be able, years
from now, to tell how you bore your
part in the war!
Will any of us let Others spend
and be spent, do and dare and die for
us, while we do nothing? Let US get
into the War Savings Campaign and
every one help on the cause of right
and freedom and humanity-Con

EAT POTATOES WITH
MEAT: SAVE WHEAT

Eat all the potatoes you can. is
the urgent request of the Food Ad.
ministrattion. There is still a large
supply that must be eaten or go to
waste. Now that the meatless day
is suspended. eat potatoes with meat
and save the bread. A pound oi
baked potatoes is as nourishing a.
seven ounces of bread. We must
conserve the cereals whenever VIZ

better than 10000 acres will be sown,

KAISER SEEKS TO
SPLIT THROUGH
TURNING FLANKS

In the first phase Hindenburg has
won. The cost to the enemy is
yet unknown. The situation is critic
al.
Berlin's report of prisoners and
guns captured is not alarming. Pro-
portionate to the front involved and
the effort put forth, the number of
men and weight of metal wrested
from the British cannot be concciv-
ed as excessive. Indeed, the figures,
large as they look, may be construed
as reassuring, for they indicate that
at no point have the British forma-
tions been destroyed.
Field Marshal Haig's first report
of yesterday and the German night
communique indicate an extremely
serious situation. A break in the
British line at St. Quentin apparent
ly has caused a general retreat to
the line of the Somme. The aband-
onment of highly fortified territory
covers a great stretch at. least fif-
teen miles deep and seemingly was
made in great haste, though without
panic.
Germans On Higher Ground
Look at the map.
The Germans are debouching from
ground of an elevation running from
800 to 800 yards. This and the bat
tcries bristling upon it protect them
as they move forward, The British
line from ST. Quentin southwark to
La Ferc, where it joins the French
front, is only about fourteen miles
long, and the trenches have only re-
Gently been occupied by Haig's men
This line, giving way, would have
to stretch dangerously.
Yet it is impossible to strike the
Germans upon their left flank. They
are shielded by the great forest OF
St. Gobian and the almost impregn-
able plateau on which Laon stands
A retreat Of the British through Ham
to the old dcfences of the Somme
has taken place Apparently the
whole line from Roisel northward
which seemed to be holding, has been
made to conform.
Try Huge Flank Movement
But Hindenbcrg does not aim
merely to force British retreat to
the Sommc. He seeks to force a
breach through which he can pour
his hordes in the direction of Paris
thanking the whole French line clear
to Nancy. That is the German pur-
/ pose-to split through the Allied
front at the sharp angle closest tc
Paris and roll up the Allied armies
on the two flanks thus created,
Between that purpose and accom-
pliShmcnt there lies defensive field
which would have to be drenched il
! German blood. The next defence /,
the great "mass of mannuvres" OF
reserve army which stands to it,
arms somewhere in France against
the extremity.
Unless Haig can at once repair the
, immediate damage, it is as well to
prepare our minds for the gigantic
otcn warfare which marked the
struggle at the Marne
