louical Place for Blow.

Military critics have pointed out that
the Champagne front was the logical
place where an allied effort intended
to destroy the effectiveness Of the Hin
denburg line could be made. For some
distance east of Rheims the terrain is
fairly level and open and an advance
OF some distance here would outfank
Laon and possibly st. Quentin.
More important still, such an ad-
vance would sever the communication
lines eastward from Laon. the pivot
of the German defenses between
Rheims and Ypres. An allied break
through might separate the German
forces in the west into two groups.
There has been rather lively raiding
activity by both sides on the Cham
pagne front in the last two weeks and
some military commentators have felt
that these were the forerunners of
greater activity.

THE REAL CAUSE OF FIRES

Many reasons are offered for the enor-
nous annual fire loss. Flimsy construc-
ton, use Of inflammable roofings, con-
gested districts in towns, these and 9TH
err like c-l.ces account for large part of
our fires. The vast majority Of them are
needless.
The Canadian Commission on Conser-
walton, which has been investigating the
subject, put it rather cleverly the other
day. They stated as the first cause for
the great fire loss, "The carelessness Gre
ated by the present system of fire insur-
ance." That very nearly hits it.
You 60 back on farm where the rate
/, is so high that many farmers don't in
sure. These people have a Fire Proven
ton day every day in the year. The most
scrupulous vigilance is maintained. II
the farmer has to use an oil lamp, he
handles it as carefully as dynamite
bomb. -s-.xsSG n sasulHnn
In the insured building, different
feeling prevails. Having paid down our
premium to reliable company, we wash
our hands Of the whole business, nd say
it is up to the company now. At the
worst we are protected, and can not suf-
fer very heavy loss
The cumulative result when everyone
feels that way, is greatly to relax vigil
lance. Fire ceases to be the ever present
danger that it is. There is a popular
feeling that the fire company and the in
surance man should worry. But while
the owner does not have to pay for his
own loss, he does have to pay for the loss
es incurred by millions Of other careless
people. Until we all feel that our duty to
the community requires us to handle fire
with the most scruprliols vigilance, the
national fire bill will continue an appal-
ling one.

WAR PROBLEMS OF YOUNG AND
OLD OFFICERS

The mastering into the army Of our
middle aged men under the new draft is
going to show some homogeneous situa-
lions. We shall see men Of IS to 40 years
of age, trained and successful in business
and the professions, accustomed to lead
others and gifted with sound Judgment.
These men will be under the command Of
young sprouts as officers, big share OF
who mare just barely of age. These
young fellows have education and have
acquired military theory. Yet they have
not tenth Of the experience or judg-
ment of the me nwhom they are a bout
to command. e~-~ASssa ~
It is the policy Of the army to depend
for its officers quite largely on young
men trained in the colleges or camps OF
the Plattsburg type. The army officers
are supposed to know their business, and
they properly value the enthusiasm and
courage of these young fellows. These
young men acquire correct military the
Dry and their trained minds enable them,
to take up new problems with facility.
AS between the trained young man Of UNI
developed Judgment, an dthe~ unframed
older me nof wider experience, training
will be the higher value.
!, But there should be some way to take
advantage Of the experience, common
sense and knowledge of human nature
and gift for leadership. If such man
is put into the trenches as an ordinary
doughboy, there is loss Of power.
It would seem as If such men, knowing
they would probably be drafted, would
lido well to offe themselves for courses
lat the officers training schools, and fit
themselves. for the higher grades of SER
vice. Also that the government should
seek for larger proportion Of officers
of this type, and make it as easy as pos
sible for them to get the needed training.

COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP

The great problem in promoting town
progress is to get people who will take
the lead, and do things. There are usual
,ly plenty who are willing TO help If some
I one will tell them what to do. It Is easier
Ho get half dozen people to serve on
committee than it Is to find one person
)who will be chairman of that committee
and take responsibility.
There are plenty Of people here in Lo-
gan who have excellent ideas and express
them with force and intelligence. But il
you ask them to take hold and make on
effort to carry out these very meritorious
suggestions, Oh, no, they couldn't!
f. The moment that it is suggested to any
one that he take the lead in any c0mmun-
ity proposition, he becomes filled with
modest and shrinking spirit. People are
efarful Of little criticism, Of seeming to
make themselves prominent. And 50 TOR
lack Of positive leadership, most Of our
good ideas are dead before they are
born.
No town gets ahead much until it has
q live board Of trade or improvement So
ciety or whatever local name may be CIV
en-. The backing of such an organization
helps people overcome the false m0desty
that leads them to seek the back seats.
If a person is qualified TO leadership,
his friends should insist that he take Of
flee IN community organizations. If his
friends believe him to be competent ne
should accept their judgment and have
faith in his own ability to get things done.
If successful man or woman will only
put the same energy or thought into
community work that is put into that per-
sons own business or home tasks, great

And it is rewarding work. Public spirit

and values the most. g
