WAR AGENCIES
UNDER ONE HEAD
Prediction 0f Member OF War
Industries Board. Greater
Efficiency Sought

q look forward to the time when
all war agencies and activities viii be
consolidated under one head"
This prediction was made recently
by Charles A. Otis. representing the
Resources and Conversion Section of
the War Industries Mr. Otis made
this remark during a speech which
was delivered at the Merchants Club
TO the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and TO mayors and repre-
sentatives of Maryland and Virginia
towns who had been invited by Presi-
dent Matthai, of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, TO meet
Mr. Otis and TO extend TO him their aid
and cooperation in the work in which
he is engaged in starting and aiding
new war plants. In the absence of
President Matthai, because OF illness,
Charles E. Falconer, former president
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, presided.
In his speech Mr.. Otis said zone
of the instructions TO the War Indus
tries Board by the President was that
we should find new sources of resour-
ces and to convert nonessential with
essential industries.
We have been hampered somewhat
by the loss of the services of some of
our best business men who have found
il necessary to look after the orders
which they received at home and from
the Allies. We have gone afar in quest
of men to help the government in the
lines laid down by the War Industries
Board. We are seeking your co-opera-
ton.
This organization will be one of the
stabilizing forces of the country. Work
on a larger scale may fall TO our or
ganization after this war is over. After
a survey of the whole country we have
chosen the Crown Cork and Seal, of
your city, to manufacture cartridges.
We expect this plant to turn out
100000 cartridges each year. We
shall probably locate another factory
in the far west. We have the coopera-
tion of the labor unions in our work.
We seek efficiency at least exertion. l
look forward to the time when all the
war agencies and activities will be con-
solidated. We already have conferen-
ces of these agencies in order to get
results"
Mr.. Otis indicated that the War In
dustries Board will be the supreme
body.

MUSIC FOR TYPISTS.

Tipping to music is the latest thing
in summer school experiments. Ac-
cording TO report II has been tried
out in the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege II has been found that begin
ners take TO the musical accompani-
ment readily. and that the rhythm of
she music helps them more quickly
TO acquire an even touch, If a good
march is played in room full of
beginners typewriting at various
speeds, a definite rhythm soon be-
comes apparent and before long the
keys are all being tapped at a uni
form rate, If the rate of tapping keys
is more evenly distributed among the
fingers the ultimate speed is helped.
Somehow or other il sounds like
lot of extra fuss to acquire skill
that would come soon enough anyhow
with regular practice and care. And
suppose typists become so accustom-
ed TO the lively march music that they
cannot dc their work without it.
Must every Office hereafter be sup
piled with music box of some sort?

MILLIONS NEEDED TO
CARRY ON INDUSTRY

Until the cost Of an article hits an
individuals pocket. the price is seldom
thought of beforehand. The consum-
ing public should realize that with
each succeeding year. the cost OF oper-
ating the anthracite mines grows a.
pace Some people think that every
ton of coal coming out of the mine is
clear profit for the operator. The con-
sumer never seems TO think there is a
cent of cost attached to the business
which is the most vital industry, next
10 the winning-of-the-war job
In the United States there are over
1000 miles of tunnels in the anthracite
coal mines OF this number 1000 are
in the Schuylkin region which ships
about IS per cent of the total anthra-
cite production. In the Lehigh and
Wyoming regions, which furnishes the
other 70 per cent of output, there are
over 5000 miles of tunnels. These un-
dergrcund roads are great expense.
All the coal that can be recovered
from them is constantly increasing,
owing to the intensive methods needed
TO create output and this, too, adds 10
the cost of production. Water that
runs into these underground passages
must be steadily pumped out TO pro-
tect adjacent workings and air must
be forced in TO prevent the formation
of dangerous gases. This means addi-
tional expense.
To protect the surface and make pos
sible the recovery of little more coal,
big money is expended to pump refuse
back into the workings, sometimes
the work being done by hydraulic
process. This adds to the mine-work-
ing cost. A further problem of big ex-
pense is the timbering of the mines.
Timber has long been stripped from
the Pennsylvania hills and adjacent re-
gion and yellow pine must be brought
up from the South to supply this need,
which costs the operators over S5,000,-
600 annually.
Concrete is taking the place of wood
for pillars, whenever possible, for the
safety of the mine-werkers is the up
permost thought in the operators
minds. 1t also entails another outlay
of cash. New and improved machin-
cry in and about the mines; explos-
ives; mules; tracks; cars; new tip
pies; runways; dynamo power and en-
CINE rooms all go into the great total
of expense. not considering wages,
which the operators must annually
face to do business.
Yet, despite all these facts, psyche
logical conditions and handicapping
depleted working force, the anthracite
industry is still holding its own and
producing satisfactory results. That is
going some.

Since the government has taken
over the telegraph service of the coun-
try, arrangements have been completed
under which cable messages of spe-
cial character may be filed at any town
for soldiers, sailors and nurses OF the
American Expeditionary Forces who
may be sent to England or France.
The messages will bear the indica-
ton, "E. F. NJ which must be count
ed and should be addressed Annex
forces, London when intended for
members of the Army, or ~. S. Nav
Force, London" when intended for
members of the Naval Force or Naval
Units.
The name of the addressee and the
name of the regiment or medical unit
or Naval ship or naval units with
which the addressee is serving must
be given as the first text words. The
messages are at the sender's risk, and
subject to censorship and delay. SINH
lar arrangements have been made for
messages from the Expeditionary
Force in England and France. All
messages will be sent to the men from

FIRELESS COOKER TO
THE BATTLE FRONT

The fireless cooker is in the first
only to the dainty bride and the NOV
ing-picture devotee. 1t supplies steam
ing hash and hot soup to the boys in
khaki.
To-day, miniature fireless cookers
are at the front in quantity. They are
5-gallon pals, cork jacketed, or with
some other nonconductor between the
walls. Swung on poles, they are borne
by soldiers through the communica-
ton trenches. The passageways are
so narrow that only small containers
can pass between the walls. And how
those cans are welcomed when they
reach the boys
Behind the lines, the kitchens are of
different types. Huge steam kitchens
cater to the men in the big training
camps, and in the French and British
prison camps. But men prefer their
company kitchens, run by their own
mess sergeants. So there are the old
field stoves, and ovens. which fold up
and load on trucks. Where troops are
in permanent quarters, stationary
ranges are used.
This war has developed the rolling
kitchen The first was an improvised
affair used by a French company 1t
was pail in a wagon, under which a
fire was built. The French and British
improved this idea, until they achieved
results which rival the most widely
advertised kitchen cabinets for con-
venience. American manufacturers had
been making them for the Allies and
were expert in this line, when the
United States entered the war.

THE CASUALTY LISTS.

Driven from one stronghold, the
war liar always attacks in another
place. The latest form Of misrepre-
sentation in Germany's behalf is the
casualty lie
The German Government and press
started it. We have heard. from
German sources, reports and rumors
of American divisions being shat
tered" of great heaps OF American
dead" OF local gains in territory won
stories have been echoed and varied
by pro-Germans in this country, and
given currency by men and women Of
loyal hearts but over-credulous minds
There have been other stories tend
ing to discredit the American army
command or the War Department IL
has been alleged that the casualty re-
ports are being deliberately withheld
or juggled, because on account of the
huge losses the government dare not
reveal them.
All this, OF course, is wicked nom
sense. There Is no doubt that the
casualties have been heavy, compar-
ed with any We are accustomed to.
We cannot expect to fight great bat
ties. against a powerful foe, and win,
without paying the cost. We have
taken that for granted, as a general
proposition II Is necessary only TO
give il a practical application in this
case, and no suffer an undue shock
merely because the drain has begun
a little sooner than we, expected.
Granting that, we may find cause for
comfort in the actual situation.
Measured by military value, hardly
any cost short of the utter annihila-
ton of any army could be too great
TO pay for such a victory as we have
won. Needless to say. there is moth
ing remotely resembling humiliation
lit is not any army shattered by
heavy losses that follows strong foe
as our army has followed the Huns,
beating their best in every clash.
There is nothing whatever TO indi-
date that our losses are any more than
normal" There are hints, indeed,
that we have had fewer men killed
and wounded than is usual in such
actions.
The majority of casualties are
slightly wounded Nearly all of
them will recover The loss in killed,
while grievous to relatives and friends
of the fallen. will be found very small
when spread over our great popula-
ton.
All the casualties, as matter of
course. will be published just as fast

curate reports and transmit them to

RATES ADVANCED OR ALASKA
 LINES
Seattle, March 19.-Adyanced rO-es on Alaska steamship lines become effective with sailings of this date and on.

Referring to increase in Alaska steamship rates, E. J. Shaw, agent for inc Alaska Steamship Co.,, said this morning that he had received nothing official from the company, but that he understands passenger rates gre to be increased to $37.5C plus war tax, and ill all likelihood the message refers to that. Increase of freight rates was still under con- sideration by the shipping board the last word Mir Shaw heard, so it is doubtful if freight has been increased as yet.
 l. H. Johnston agent in Skag- way for the c. P. R., said this morning he received word yester- day that passenger rates on c. P. R. trains throughout all Canada had been increased 15 percent, but he had nc word on any Alaska in- crease as yet. However, it was his opinion that Alaska passenger rates from Skagway to Seattle will soon pc $37.50.
