Dead Called to Buy Bonds.

During a war loan campaign in a
London suburb, an airplane dropped
5000 leaflets calling for subscriptions.
Almost the entire 5000 fell into the
village cemtery, where they covered
TIE graves and shrubbery like snow
fakes. Visitors to the cemetery who
picked up the little sheets found them
inscribed in large letters: wake Up

FUEL CONSERVATION PROBLEM
Congressman Cox Comments on the
Changed Nature of the DeeenniaI
census-QuIek Work in Passing
Enormous Appropriation Bills.
Rx ARTHUR W. DUNN.

Washington.-In the campaign for
the saving of fuel--and up to the pres
ent time the people of the United
States have not begun to realize the
absolute necessity for fuel conserva-
tion-various people have been to Doc
to- Garfield, the fuel administrator,
and suggested that he cut off the man
ufacture and production of all nom
essentials. But Doctor Garfield has
Investigated this subject to q consid-
cradle extent and has found out that
what is non-essential In one commu-
nifty may be very great essential in
another community. His life In New
England has given him an opportunity
to observe industrial conditions and
has shown him how disastrous 1t
would be TO cut off the production Of
what. many people call non-essentlals.
Doctor Garfield told a delegation
OF people with whom he was discuss
ing this subject that in many commu-
mites of the United States there are
MANUFACTURED articles which have
been placed on the non-essential list,
and yet whole communities are de-
pendent upon the continuation of the
manufacture Of these articles. He in
stanced musical Instruments. and a
number OF other articles which are for
amusement and pleasure. To close up
these establishments would mean the
depriving of whole communities Of
their means of livelihood. All things
Of this sort have been taken into con-
sideration In the matter Of fuel con-
servation, and while oil manufacturing
establishments will be not only re-
quested but compelled TO limit their
use Of fuel to the utmost II is not
the intention of the fuel administrator
to cripple industry and destroy the
means of living. 1t is his hope that
people will realize what is necessary
and do their best to conserve fuel.

Are we going to keep politics out OF
the political campaign Even the old
timers around Washington who do not
recall what happened in 1862 during
the Civil war, remember that in 1864
the political situation became very ex-
citing and the conditions In this coun-
try were much more serious than they
could possibly be under foreign war
conditions. So II is altogether probable
that this coming congressional cam
paign win see a lot Of politics.
Just barking back TO some of the
special elections that have been held
since the United States entered into
the war, 1t is observed that politics
were injected quite freely. This was
especially true in New Hampshire
district, In the Indiana district, anC
also In the senatorial election In Wis
consln. The probabilities are that
there is going TO be right lively POI
litieal campaign, Notwithstanding some
attempts to postpone politics until af'
ter the war.

Congressman Cox Of Indiana took
occasion to show that the decennlal
census for which there is constitu-
tional warrant is a much different
thing from what II was In the early
days OF the country and we have gone
far afield from a mere count OF the
people, which was the intention Of the
fathers of the government. In the
early years of the government the CEN
sus consisted of a count of the peo-
pie. Now II means a complete in
vestigation and survey Of the whole
country as well as an enumeration of
the people. OF course the main OBJ
ject is to ascertain the number of peo-
pie and the result of the count is the
most interesting feature Of the census.
No doubt the other facts are very val
liable, and the only fault to he found
in regard to them is that the statis-
tics are usually three or four years
old befol they are finally completed
and tabulated.

There Is a fear in the mind of Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois that he United
States may be doing some fighting on
a western front Of her own before the
war is over. The Illinois senator told
his colleagues recently that If Ger
many can completely overcome Russia
and form an army Of Russians to fight
on the German side. this army may
cross Siberia and enter North Amer
lea by way Of Alaska, and then sweep
down on the Pacific Northwest. Sena-
tor Lewis suggested that the thing TO
do in case of any such attempt would
be to turn Japan and China loose on
the enemy as they tried TO cross 81
IBERIA. He expressed his belief that
the Asiatic nations not only could
halt the Hun, but could drive him from
Russian soil. But Germany will be
having her hands 20 full in France
and Flanders that any such invas N
of the United States Ks a very remote
contingency.

Congress evidently wanted to get
through with It's work and get a re-
cess If possible. for there never has
been such speedlng-up in passing
appropriation bills as during the past
two or three weeks. The sundry
civil appropriation bill which usually
takes some two or three weeks In the
house, was passed In two or three
days. After the senate had loaded
1t down with about II billion more dol
lars 1t passed that body in q few hours.
On the same day the senate came
very near passing the $120O0,0O0OOO
military bill. As one senator re-
marked: "We have reached the stage
where the more billions we add to APP
preparations, the more speed we put
on In passing the billions"

As TO propaganda. it Is very doubt
full whether the United States could
have done anything since our entry in
to the war to prevent the cataStrophs
in Russia. Before that time our neu-
trality would have made il impossible
for us to use propaganda for or against
Germany. II should also be remem-
bered that the Germans have been US
Ing the propaganda in Russia for a
dozen years for the very purpose of ac-
complishing the results that have been
so favorable to the Germans.

Whatever else may happen II seems
almost certain that Moses p. Kinkaid
will be returned from the Sixth district
of Nebraska. Kinkaid is one of the
men that attend strictly to business all
the time. He never bankers for ad-
jourument nor does he seem to think
1t necessary TO go out and fix up his
fences. He is not much in evidence
on the floor Of the house In the way
of making speeches, but he is generally
there when the votes are taken and he
has the reputation Of paying closer at
tentlon to every demand on the part
of his constituents than any other men,
Der Of the house. Klnkaid was quite
a favorlte with President Taft. who al
ways referred to him as "the sand-hill
crane from Nebraska" mainly because
Kinkaid represented a partially arid
district.

During the tendency of the war;"
is a phrase which finds its way into
great deal of legislation that is pass
ed these days. No doubt when the war
is over IL will be found that some OF
the legislation that has been enacted
with the phrase, and with the idea OF
limiting it simply to the war, can be
made adaptable TO future conditions
and will be continued. The people
have no idea Of the amount of legisla-
ton that has been written on the
statute books for the purpose of con-
ducti1s the war against Germany.
This is an evidence that the United
States was wholly unprepared for war,
not only from Il military standpoint,
but also from a legislative standpoint.
Even the president Of the United
States, who, as commandments of
the army and navy, is clothed with al
most unlimited power during a war,
found il necessary to have reams Of
legislation enacted in order to carry
on a big foreign war.

LUCKY" AVIAToRs.

Aviators have such a reputation
for luck, that in Italy, italian SOL
diers come to their camps to touch
one of them so it will bring them
good luck, too. A remarkable story
is told Of a California man who got
lost in the clouds and later in cen
trail Italy. He started out for an
altitude, and got up so high in the
clouds that he was unable to deter
mine whether he was flying toward
land or away from it, or whether the
earth was above or below him. When
he finally got Strengthened out he
landed in some village square, where
it took several hours to make the
Italian authorities understand that
he was not an Austrian flyer. When
he finally returned to his camp he
found he had flown nearly hundred
and fifty miles away.

TRoTZkY THE MAN.

He is tall, strong, angular; his
appearance as well as his speech
gives the impression of boldness and
vigor. His voice is a high tenor ring
ing with mettle. And even in his
quiet moments he resembles a COM
pressed spring.
He is always on the aggressive. He
is full of passion-that whitc-haired,
vibrating mental passion that char
acterizes the intellectual jew. On the
platform, as we'll as in private life.
he bears an air of peculiar j .por
lance, an indcfnahIe something thu
says very distinctly: "IIoro is-a man
who knows his value and fees ldia-
self chosen for superior aims" Vet
Trotzky is not imposing, He is
modest. He is detached. Back in
the depths of his dark eyes there is
lingering sadness.-Asia.

WRITERS TRAVEL. HARD ROAD
Long Before Their Work Is Read
and Appreciated.

Magazine articles submitted for
publication are commonly referred
to professional readers for approval.
Most of them suffer from eye-strain
and avoid all unnecessary labor.
They give preference to known
writer's. An unknown one is very
fortunate to get his story read at
all. Generally he must wait until
chance leads to tie reading of his
story. Many of the professional
readers also suffer from literary
dyspepsia and do not know a really
good story when they see it. o.
Henry, Morgan Robertson and many
others Of our best story writers, in
Guiding Edgar Allan Poe, nearly
starved to death while magazines
kept returning their manuscripts
unread, with polite notes of declina-
ton. Presently accident caused one
story of 0. Henry to be published
because there happened to be little
copy of known writers on hand. I'm
mediately the reading public recog-
nized its merit. From that time for
several years after there was
story from o. Henry in every maya
zine in the country every month.
People wondered how any living
man could be so prolific, but Sidney
Porter was merely unloading two
truDkfuls of declined manuscripts
upon publishers who had previously
turned them down.

More Passenger Trains.

Several additional trains have
been added to the Belvidere Della
ware Railroad in the new schedule
out Monday, and all the Pullman
cars taken off when the war sched-
ules were announced have been
restored. The local people regard
the changes with satisfaction, but
travellers on the Pennington branch
will not find some of the connec-
tons very desirable.
The 6 a. M, southbound train
will leave as before, but the s. OF
is changed to Z. 33. The 8. 35 and
II. so will carry parlor cars; the
3. 10 is changed to 3, Is and adj
ditional time allowed for loading
express matter at many of the sta
tions. The 6. 40 will now arrive at
a. as and leave at 5. Is, and new
train will leave at 7. 10. This train,
as we'll as the 5. Is, will carry ex-
press matter, and considerable time
has been allowed at the big shipping
stations. The s. 10 will leave at
8. Oh, and will be an express. The
Sunday schedule is unchanged
Northbound, the present 9. 05
will leave at 8. So; the old 10. OF
will be restored, parlor cars and all,
it will run to Tobyhanna. The
present. 2. 10 will go north at 2. 06,
except Saturdays, when it will leave
at 2. 40. The 4. 35 and a. SIS are
not changed, but the 6. So will leave
at 6. so. The s. 81 and IL. Is mid
night remain the same, and go
through to Stroudsburg, as do all
trains except the a. 35 and 6. so.
On the Pennington branch the
present 7. so will arrive at 7. 25;
the 2 p. M, at |. 55, except Satur-
days when it comes at 2. 38; the
6. Is at d. 25. This last change
means that passengers will have to
leave Pennington nearly two hours
earlier in the afternoon, and it also
takes away from the county seat its
last first-class train after 5 o'clock
in the afternoon. Southbound pass
engers on the early afternoon train
will have to wait here one hour and
twenty-three minutes; and from the
later train fifty minutes before pro-
ceeding on their journey. The
Pennington train now leaving mere
at 8. Is a. M, will leave at 9. 05;
the 8. 80 p. m. is changed to 2. Is,
except Saturdays when it will leave
at 3 o'clock, the present p. m.
train will leave at 5. 80, after pass
engers from the sotith have waited
thirty-fve minutes.
