That phase of bat is drawing to end and henceforth must prepare to accept the strain of in ordinary existence in the in which it has long been by every other European belligerent. We have to maintain front both in man-power and in muni- thrown against it. and that means that every consider aton which does not come within the strict definition of necessity must give way to the claims of national existence.

PHOENIX YOUTH
 TELLS OF WORK

A very interesting letter has been re- ceived by MT. and Mrs. w G. Hartranft from their son Billy Hartranft who is engaged in coast patrol duty along the Atlantic in the l.. s. s. a con- verted yacht, rated as a destroyer. It is a typical letter from a red blooded American boy whose blood is made a little redder by patriotism:
 In his letter. Mir. Hartranft says: Arrived at the island of -- off the coast of Virginia yesterday. This is the southern limit of our patrol. Left
 - navy yard on account of heavy
 ice forming in the river and thought we would be crushed before reaching the breakwater. We ran into a heavy storm off the coast of - I will never forget it as long as live. A terrnly high sea was running and we shipped water as far back as mid ships. Our bow stay tore loose smash ing the bowsprit, loosening the guy running to the foremast It is a won- der that we did not roll the mast out taking the whole decK with it.
 "When the ship stuck her nose under the waves she stayed under until they completely washed over the forward cabin.

Relieving the Coal Shortage

The movement of coal trains under government direction of the railroads alone justfes that assump ton of railroad control for the people of the north and the east greater need than that of fuet Just now everything else except war needs can afford to wait Cars being placed where they are most required. Cars that otherwise would have been lying idle on side have been brought into vice. There is longer any delay in the loading and unloading of them and the coal cars are being rushed to and from mines by the shortest routes It will not be difficult matter to supply the country with coal.
 things in the past have contributed to coal shortage and it may be suspected that the coal operators the chief contributors They and the coal roads were the only who could gain from the higher prices of coal which a shortage would cause. The operators hid behind the effect of unco ordinated railway systems they complained that they could not get the cars. Under such a system or want of system had, there might very well be a shortage of cars We could not know whether the operators were telling the truth not.
 Now they be supplied with cars, and, if not it will be known why they have not been supplied They have nothing to hide behind. If they caught now in the act of directly indirectly producing coal shortage they will incur the risk of bringing the government in to operate the mines we'll as the soon be coal for all friends the north and east will be able to find physical exercise in some better way than shivering. That the profits of the coal operators will be measursbly less swollen is minor matter

MEN IN SERVICE LISTED THROUGH l. NATURAL ERRORS

Through the intricacies of the se- lective service law some registrants have been incorrectly recorded as de- serters when, in fact, they already are in the military or naval service of the United States, and it has been because they are in the army or navy that they | could not be located by the local boards and thus were placed on the stacker list
 To prevent further wrong to such registrants, the provost marshal gen. eral has issued special orders to local l boards as follows:
 'On December "A, the adjutant gen. eral of the drmy informed all depart mentS and camp commanders as fol- l lows: Under Section 92, Selective Service Regulations, effective Decem- | Der 15, questionnaires are now being mailed by local boards to all persons registered under selective service law except those inducted into military service under such law.

Silly Service

A good many silly things have been done by silly people under the impression that they somehow helping to make the world safe for democracy They have been inspired by foolish sentiment do thing, they did know exactly what and very natur- ally would be something foolish. And some of these foolish things have become fads in which hundreds of others participated
 Among these things has been the adoption by certain women of soldiers at the front started we believe, in the early days of the by some in France and England who doubt meant well and thought that they might be the means of heartenng and encouraging the adopted soldiers We do not know, but suppose it expression of mother love- It only after was taken up as a fad that it became particularly obnoxious.
 It is gratifying to know that General Pershing has put end to this absurd system, least far as soldiers of the American expeditionary forces are concerned, and the step he has taken will meet with the approval of ninety per the American people.
 Under the convenient excuse of the so-called adoption" hundreds of foolish women all parts of country opened correspondence with soldiers of whom they knew nothing In the days before the war these women would have refused to have any thing to do with these soldiers they would probably have protested against the admission of a man in uniform to restaurant where they were being served or to theater in which they sitting. But just because the custom Of adoption had become sort a fad they loaded the mails with letters to strangers.
 There is a good deal of sentiment and proper sentiment concerning in uniform. AS long as the sentiment inspires men and women at home to make sacrifices for the maintenance of the army for the strengthening of the Red Cross movement and to do things to promote the is healthy and beneficial But this so-called adoption is mushy development which does no good and may do much harm.
 The soldiers at the front patriotic Americans, doing their duty and riskng their lives the of their country. But they only doing what all loyal Americans willing to do. They only doing what hundreds of thousands of American boys in the army and the navy anxious to do They should be treated brave, patriotic and not as sap headed children yearning for letters from strange women, to cheer them the way. General Pershng has done wise and thoroughly American thing in stopping silly practice
