 This war has already shunted into undreamed of activities the bridge whist players, the tea fighters and the poodle dog ooddlers of this vast country, but much of that same dil- cite spirit is still evident
 The gigantic organization of war is going forward by organized and consistent labor. If fifty thousand dollars a year and nine hours a day can be one busy woman's quiet and voluntary offering at the shrine of future world democracy, what of the leisure women who are salving theil patriotism vAith onS afternoon oi knitting, or passively lending theil names to the letterhead stationery oi this or that war committee.

TIME TO CLEAN UP.

We are now getting along into the month of April and entering the sea- son when the outdoor work Is going to steadily increase. It is the time of year when the housewives are putting in some hard licks on the inside Of the dwelling, or thinking seriously about it. and it is certainly time that there should be a determined effort put forth for the improvement of the appearance of the yards, vacant lots, streets and alleys where the, accumu- lations of winter are to be found in quantities.
 Much of this unsightly debris could have been prevented had there been due consideration on the part of those responsible, for there is little excuse for those who open window and throw their tin cans and waste paper cut into the yard instead of exercising little care and placing them in re- ceptacles to be removed each week Such were of course covered up while we were getting occasional snow storms but they are now all disclosed in their disfguring array, dtscredi; Q the household, the neighborhool and the community.
 Excellent results have been attaine in previous years through an organ iEe5 clean up ard it is to be recog- rized that there is always as good ai opportunity for sticking up about tht exterior as there is on the inside O the home. And the earlier such
 matter can be attended to the longel will be the period of improved sur
 rodndings. There is always @ lou.
 cell to such work at this season O |. he year.

ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE.

President Wilson in his address at Baltimore gave the only answer pos sible under existing circumstances to the challenge of Germany that the great war shall be won by force when in behalf of this country he ac- cepted that challenge by declaring that Force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous triumphant force. which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust" will be put forth by the United States.
 If it is force which is going to es- iabiish rightI and justice in the world t must be the force which stands for such right and justice that will re- spect treaties, live up to international law and see that democracy gets its place in the world. The president makes !, plain that he stands for the iCeais which are supported by this country, that the nation is desirous ol redeeming the world through the elimination Of Prussianism and maI- ing peace possible which the strors and the weak shall share alike.
 He properly calls attention to what sort of peace there would be should Germany succeed in it's aims. It is well known how Belgium has beer treated but there has been a repeti. ton of the same sort of conduct b1 Germany in regard to Russia whcrs it's armies are still busy in getting control of territory far beyond the lines marked out by the treaty. Suct does not stand for justice or Iastine peace. It represents the spirit of con quest and the destruction or slave dom of small nations. A force there fore greater than Germany can pu forth is required and that is what h. assures in view of the German atti tude. And in so declaring he speak for the nation.

OPENING THE SECOND YEAR.

It is a year now since this country declared itself in a state of war with Germany. That step was taken af- ter the machinery of preparation had been set in motion to some extent but in the past twelve months all of our energies have been bent towards rnak- ing up for the time that was lost in the past
 "e have made what might be con- sidered remarkable progress under the conditions. We have raised and put onto the battlefield a large army. We are training an even greater force and that is to be followed by more in all branches of the army and navy. Our industries have been speeded up and plans for furnishing the neces- sary supplies. the needed warships. the troopships, the cargo carriers, the equipment for the men. the foodstuffs and the airplanes are being executed.
 We have gone from peace, and peace which was not marked by what might be properly termed adequate prepara- ton against the day when our rights would be consistently and glafinelv trespassed upon, to war in a remark ably short time. There have been mistakes and blunders. We have been obliged to face obstacles and not a fa-- of them have been those wnl, l. were purposely thrown in our way We have suffered from profteering and bad organization as well as the work of the enemy agents but we have only tust hoGu1 to realize what our resources are.

DEVELOP THE WAFER POWER.

In connection with the question of providing power Fuel Administrator Garfield has authorized a survey for the purpose of determining the merits of the idea of establishing large power plants near the mines in Pennsylvania in order to cut down on the transpor- tation of fuel, the plan being to trans init electrical power by high tension wires, instead of sending coal by rail.
 What the result of this investiga- tion will be cannot be foretoid. I. may be found that it is just what is
 equired to help out the situation, but while the matter of power transmits sion is under consideration it would seem to be high time that as much. if not more attention was given to the matter of utilizing the great number
 of water privileges throughout the country for the purpose of generating electricity at hydro-electric plants where the use of coal would be eliminated and a double saving ef- fected.
 That there are opportunities for the development of millions upon millions
 of horsepower through such stations is well understood. Increased atten
 ton has been directed to them be- cause of the shortage of coal that has been experienced and many sucE
 plants, or the enlargement of those es- tablished, are already started or un- der contemplation. There is need however of making the most of the cheap waterpower which has been go- ing to waste for centuries and sur
 rey of the situation with the idea ir view of making a more determined
 move in that direction would certainly be timely,

 They say that in June, the Austral- ian steamer Wairum was detected by the Seaplane and soon after captured
 by the Wolf outside Saono island, north of the .Kermandec Islands. Pro- Iceeding north between the Bismarck Islands and New Guinea, the raider came across and sank on July Is, the American schooner Encore, loaded with benzine. from which the seaplane
 replenished her store. Twelve days
 later the scout observed and reported the British steamer Matunga from which large quantities of provisions we're taken. the Wolf and her aerial cub then went southwards by Celebes towards Singapore; on to Javen and | Ceylon, spreading mines around. par | ticularly near Colombo.
 The seapiane flew out, found and stopped with bomb the Japanese Hitachi Maru with a rubber and cop per cargo valued at fourteen million dollars. She showed fight but after twelve yellow seamen were killed had
 to give in to the superior guns of the l Wolf. She was made to follow the l Wolf until November when the Igotz

 time, was intentionally full of
 prisoners who made bitter complaint of the treatment they received and the
 insufficiency of food as well as the
 fact that there was serious epidemic on board.

The display will be made in connection with that of the Joint Committee on Govrnment Exhibits, which includes the various depart ments and activities of Federal work Five circuits are to be cov- cred.

The Bureau of Construc- tion and Repair will be represented by valuable and unusually interest ing models of types of ships in the United States navy. These models have been taken from the halls of the Navy department in Washing ton, and it will be the first time that they have ever been shown generally throughout the country.
