From Fontenov. on the Aisue. west Of

Marine. the German lines were torn 10
pieces. and the Marne salient threat

most savage fighting that the Ger
mans succeeded in saving their army
from disaster and retreated across the
Eesle river.
On Aug. s. the French and British
stormed the German lines in Picardy.
from the Ancre river to MoreuiL north
OF Mont Didier. and sent the enemy
reeling back toward the Somme. The
next day the French crushed in the
German front south OF Mont Didier.
and then, linking their lines with
those Of the British further north,
forced the invaders back.
The Germans then began n
withdrawal from the Flanders Sa-
lient and today they ure nearly

A NEW SYSTEM OF DISTRIBUTION

To overcome the difficulties and de-
lays incident to long-range apportion.
ment of orders for emergency needs,
the Fuel Administration has adopted
the plan of selecting deputy distribu-
tors in each of the coal districts. The
first appointment under this arrange
ment was that of Mr.. D. R. Lawson,
representing the misunderstanding
district of West Virginia. The distri-
button of orders among shippers for
emergency needs will thus be taken
away from the central Offices in Wash
ington and located Immediately in the
coal fields. Under this plan of opera
ton, much quicker results in supply
ing coal will be possible. 1t will be
the aim of the administration to Sc
lect as it's deputy distributors men
thoroughly familiar with the coal field
in which they operate, and who are in
position to work tremendously with
the producers. To further facilitate
the work of distribution, the railroads
have been asked to designate local
representatives to cooperate with the
deputy distributors.

NEW PLANS OF ADMINISTRATION

The Fuel Administration is looking
to governmental control of the rail
roads for immediate improvement in
the movement of coal.
For some time it has been known
that DR.. Garfield held the view that
such action on the part of the Govern
ment would become necessary before
the country's coal problems could ap-
proach a satisfactory solution.
Suiting himself to this new order of
things, DR.. Garfield has planned and
will put into effect at once two new
and important orders, n respecting
the distribution of coal by a system of
deputy distributors, and n regulat-
ing the making of contracts by opera
tors, producers, jobbers and retailers
of coal and coke.
Under this latter order all contracts
must be subject to approval by the
Fuel Administration. Contracts may
not run longer than one year; and
such period of one veal shall termin-
dIe DIT d udIe uOJ llOlc Iudh 10 Iiohtho
from the date of actual execution of
4. contract. All contracts for coal and
poke shall be at a price not to exceed
the Government price at the mines at
the date of shipment. The Admins
traitor may forthwith cancel any con-
tract and neither party thereto nor the
Government shall have any further liza
bility because of such cancellation.
No contract may be made, or will be
recognized as valid, which involves
railroad c~rosshauling of coal, except
in case of gas or b%y-product coal. Oral
contracts are not permitted.
With the Governments control of
transportation and the working out of
the new orders respecting contracts
and distribution, the Fuel Administra-
ton will be able to devote it's attention
to the task of seeing that all essential
industries are provided with fuel and
that hv voluntary arrangements with
less essential industries coal require
r7e-ts will be curtailed.
cnocial attention will be given to
e~plarging the production and suppress
ing needless consumption, so that the
%s1nrlyt and the demand may be
BROUGHT closer to their natural meet
iNg point.

BAKERS LIMITATIONS.

Now nobody is inclined to question
Mr.. Bakers patriotism, loyalty or zeal.
Unquestionably since the country en-
tered the war he has done his best ac-
cording to his lights to make the sarmy
as speedily as possible the formidable
fighting machine that it ought to be
and can become. But the doubt, or at
least the question, must persist in the
public mind as to whether a tempera-
mental hater of war, a theoretic OPP
ponent of a great army, can by any
possibility be the right man to erect a
skeleton fighting machine into a force
of superlative striking power and full
minating initiative. There seems to
be a natural contradiction involved.
1t is impossible for citizens not to
wonder whether Mr.. Bakers plan of
putting low price above speedy and
cation of the working of the pacifist
mind, which naturally holds the eco
nomic rather than the belligerent
viewpoint.
1t is we'll that the Senate is going
into this matter. Let us hope it will
go deep. Are there others in the Cab
met or elsewhere in the Administra-
ton who are biassed in their conduct
by the pacifistic spirit and kindred i'm
pulses? Are there some persons who
are more bent on forcing economic
experiments upon the country than
upon winning the war? Has this drift
any share in causing the various scare
tiles with which the citizens are so
g~rievously afflicted to-day?-N. Y.

ACCORDING TO PREDICTION.

The Federal Farm Loan system
finds itself in straits much earlier
than any of its critics had anticipated.
Confronted with a falling market for
it's own bonds and lacking the services
of the underwriting syndicate which
had at first come to its relief, the
Board has, nevertheless, gone ahead
making engagements to furnish money
to farmers without knowing where the
funds were to come from. n this
plight, the natural haven of refuge
for a perplexed governmental institu-
ton is Congress; and to Congress the
Board has gone, asking that the gov
eminent shall buy its bonds, to the
tune of a hundred millions a year to
enable it to make good it's word to the
farmers to whom loans have been
promised. The Farm Loan Board has
followed the historic example of DAN
iel Webster in drawing his will.
Friends having promised the great
statesman sums of money, he took
pains to make requests in equally
large amounts.

HOW A BIG BANK JUDGES MEN

Frank Vanderlip, the president of
the National City Bank, tells in an ar
ticle in the January American Maya
zine how men are judged for positions
in the bank. The author says:
Here are some of the things by
which the City Banks interviewers
are instructed to judge men:
Appearance and Manner: Judge
how well the applicant will impress
customers by his physique; facial ex-
preston; clothing; n~eatness; voice;
c%heerfulness; self-confidence; courte-
sy.
Initiative and Self-Reliance: Con
slider his ability to start things with
out being shown or told, and his self
dependence after having once been
shown his work or given a task.
Industry: Judge his energy and per.
severance. Base your judgment or
his personal history sheet (applica.
ton blank, all reports, and your i'm.
preston from contact with him.
S"Character: Judge his character
having in mind ambition, honesty
thrift, loyalty, spirit of service, and
freedom from drinking, gambling, and
other immoral acts.
Personal History.
Reports: Consider reports from
his previous employers and from any
other sources-both the content of the
reports and the reliability of the
sources.
