ARE
 REMOVED FROM
 RANGE BIG GUN

PARIS, May 30.-The first action under the plan that has been adopted for the removal of the children from Paris was taken this morning when 1000 of the children were taken to a vacation colony in central France.
 This action has long been con- sidered by the officials, as they thought it was necessary in order to take away any possible chance of any child being killed in the bonn. bardment of the city. As several churches were struck by the shells of the big gun on Good Friday, it was not thought best to leave the children in a vicinity that was dan- gerous.
 At least 1000 of the French chil- dren, ranging in age from six to sixteen, were placed aboard special trains this morning and sent to a resort in central France that was formerly used during vacation times. Many more of these young people will be sent from the city to this colony. Only enough adults accom-. panied the children to see that they receive the proper care. This colony is to be run under the supervision of the French government.

Pleasing the Enemy.

The Chicago Tribune has set its
Washington correspondent at work in
terviewing unidentified personages
who are opposed to Mr.. Baker remain
ing longer in the post of secretary of
war, and are willing to be quoted, but
not named, as emphasizing the neces-
sity Of the change if the war is to be
won with the rapidity that the people
OF the United States have been hopeful
Of since their country became aligned
with the European nations that have
been fighting Germany the past three
years. The Tribune for weeks has
been harping over the untitness of Mr..
Baker for the place he is filling. Its
chief grounds are that he is a pacifist
land that one entertaining his views
on the question of war can never fix
his heart as strongly on the under
taking he is charged with directing as
IL he held to contrary convictions.
If the fact that he had been paci-
fist is the only crime that the Tribune
can drum up against Mr. Baker it will
gain little support for its campaign
against him among thinking Amer
leans. The Tribune ought to know
that up until the sinking of the Lusi-
tania the majority Of American cit
liens were set In their opinions
against breaking relations with the
German empire. Even after the Lusi-
tania horror there were men of stand
ing in the nation who didn't consider
it of sufficient gravity to plunge the
United States into war. Aside from
the Navy league and some OF its fol
lowers, including the Tribune, the
people of the United States, until the
mask was revealed from the Hun, as.
sumed the attitude that it was not 8
war in which America had anything
at stake and that we should permit
the European nations which for years
had been at the swords point. to settle
their differences without interference
from this side of the Atlantic.
We can't see that his earlier opin
cons have In any way untitled Mr.
Baker for his work as chief OF the wal
division. His work speaks for itself
IL calls for no defense. What he has

Not Occasion for Alarm.

Many people are alarmed over the
number of deaths that have been re-
ported in the past few days from the
army training cantonments in this
country. Still when you figure the
death rate against the number of men
in camp there is nothing unusual in
the death totals. The fact that many
are dying of pneumonia has caused
criticism that the government is not
giving adequate protection to the sol
diers in the camps. We should re-
member that this is the season OF year
when the pneumonia death rate is
highest, and furthermore, if we will
refer to the newspapers, We will dis
cover that not all of the deaths from
this disease are occurring in the army
camps. Many are succumbing TO the
ailment who never were near one of
these camps They die despite that
they have all the care and attention
OF home. We must expect to hear of
soldiers passing where they are gath
cred in great numbers. While they
are hardened to the rigors of the
fighting service, they are not immune
from ailments to which the body is
heir, and they will die in the camp
here and abroad, the same as if they
were in the shelter OF the home roof.

What of Future?

Railroad executives are to ask con-
gress to limit control of transporta-
ton lines to the period of the war.
While there has not been any posi-
tive announcement Of the govern
ment's purpose to continue control be-
yond the close of the world struggle,
still there is left loophole in legis-
lation that has been recommended
which would permit the present ar
rangement to go on indefinitely. The
managers OF the railroad properties
maintain that their interests should
be treated similar to other lines of
commercial activity that have been
Communicated until peace is restored.
The apprehensiveness of the rail-
road executives is not an unhealthy
sign when we recall what we have
been told in previous years when there
was congressional agitation for fed
eral operation of the transportation
arteries of, the nation. EurOpe's ex-
Deriences were cited as abundant ar
gument against similar undertakings
here. What will transpire during the
period that the government directs the
American roads is wholly speculative
In the event that properties are more
efficiently and profitably operated dur
ing the war, We might have the spec
tacle Of the stockholders petitioning
congress for permanency Of the plan
However. it is not believed that the
original purpose of President Wilson
was to have the government remain
in the railroad business as side line
Yet conditions may so work them
selves out while the new program is
in force as to make it inadvisable tC
withdraw its directing hand. Then
there will be the public to hear from
Already the pinch of passenger train
curtailment has been felt. 1t may be.
come more acute. The government
may enforce other reforms to speed
war efficiency that may arouse the
public to demand return to the old
order. At any rate, it would seem that
we would have to bide our time to see
what is to be the future of the rail.
Toads-whether they are to be perma
nently controlled by the government
or whether they are to be released tc

Keep On Saving Coal.

The. United States must have 100
million tons of coal more than normal
this coming year. Production has been
increased so million tons. We must
make up the other so million tons by
saving. A shovelful less in the kitchen
stove every day will mean saving of
Is million tons.s A shovelful less a
day in the furnace will mean 25 mil
lion tons saved. We must tend our
fires more carefully.
AS a rule we keep our homes too
hot. If pan of water is kept on the
stove or register to add a little mois-
ture to the air, a temperature of 6S
degrees will be sufficient for COM
fort.
Storm windows should be used, and
unused rooms should be closed and
left unheated. Farmers can make the
greatest saving, perhaps, by using
wood A cord of wood will replace a
ton of coal. The wood lot and the wood
pile should be made to do their bit
this winter.

been done without errors. some OF
them quite serious. We dare say the
Tribune could not name another man
who would have done better in the cir
cumstances. Colonel Roosevelt might
have made more noise during the
operation, but it is to be questioned If
he would have secured more satisfac-
tory results And: by the way, if one
, reads Alright between the lines. Roose-
welt would suit the Tribune as Bakers
successor.
The Tribune has entered upon a
small piece of business. II Mr.. Baker
| had done something to justify attack
/ on him at this critical period of war
( preparation The Argus and every
J other newspaper in the land would
! support it in its present stand. But,
! so far as can be seen. the Tribune,
without any sound reason, has opened
( its batteries upon Mr. Baker just be-
! cause it doesn't want to see him in the
secretarial job longer, and one sus-
poets that it has its own candidate for
the place. and that he is none other
than Colonel Roosevelt. The Tribune
would be in far better business right
now, it would better prove its patriot
ism and loyalty to the government, by
getting squarely behind the admins
tration and helping to show our en-
emies how closely We are united in
the enterprise before us. Assuredly
it must be comforting to Berlin to
hear that a newspaper of the boosted
standing of the Tribune is fighting the
secretary of war and demanding that
he quit his Office AS said before, if
there was justification for the outcry
against Mr.. Baker it would be differ
ent story. But there isn't. The Tri-
bune is playing small town politics
That's ALL And we predict that it will
not get very far in its war on Mr.
Baker
The Tribune would give more
strength to its fight on the secretary
IL it would print the names of the mer
it is having its Washington cores
pondent interview as to the alleged
unfitness Of the secretary. 1t would be
enlightening to the American people
to learn their names. In all fairness
the Tribune should reveal them. Oh
is it possible the interviews are al
from one mind?

Hypertrophic Rhinitis.


Much as we dislike to inf1ict these
mysterious medical terms on the
health fan, hypertrophic rhinitis is un-
avoidable, because we know no other
name unless it be obstructive catarrh,
which is as wrong as it is vulgar. Per-
haps most people would recognize it
if we were to call it enlarged turbinate
bones, especially those who have had
a turbinate or two removed for the
relief of hypertrophic rhinitis.
Frankly, there are far too many tur-
binates removed. In the nose the
turbinates are the steam radiators,
the humidors and the air driers of
the human yentilating system, and it
is misfortune to lose turblnate,
! much more so than it is to lose an
appendix or a gall-sac, for one doesn't
need these later superfluities now
adays.
The reason why so many turbinate
bodies are removed is that patients
are not patient enough and doctors
love to give immediate relief. If vic
| Tins of chronic rhinitis would under
go suitable local and general treat
ment early and long enough, the trou-
Bile might be controlled and the ulti-
mate thickening or overgrowth of the
turbinate bodies in the nose prevent
ed. If every practicing physician
would equip himself with the few in
struments and the slight skill required
to make direct examination of and
apply local treatment to the well nigh
universal "catarrh" of the younger
generation, great many nose and
throat operations might be obviated.
i In simple chronic rhinitis there is
stuff1ness now on one side, now on
the other, with excessive secretion,
frequent, as the patient imagines,
fresh colds" which last an hour or
two or until customary external or
internal environment is restored. In
hypertrophic rhinitis there is notice
able obstruction on one side or per-
haps on both all the time In either
Kind of rhinitis the patient is likely
to have middle ear trouble which
eventually produces deafness.
Preserving direct treatment of the
nasal lining by the doctor over a con-
siderable period of time will bring re-
lief In all cases of simple rhinitis
and in good share of all cases OF
hypertrophic rhinitis. This treatment
Is essentially given by the physician
