WHERE THE PAPER GOES.

Kansas City Star: Some criticism
has been directed at the government
because at time of shortage in the
print paper supply it is itself buying
100, 600 900 pounds for it's OWE use
during the present year
Surely such criticism does not take
into account the useful purposes to
which the government viii devote
this paper. II will print the Con-
gressional Record on il, for one thing,
and what would home be without
the Congressional Record, or at least
the parts thereof which congressman

appears that the honorable member

hours although, as a matter of fact.
what he did was to obtain leave TO
send the manuscript containing his
remarks to the public printer.
The government prints number
of other documents-oh, quite num-
ber-just as interesting and impor-
tant. which it is glad to supply
through the various departments to
applicants of good moral character.

SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN.

Des Moines Capital: 1t is to be
regretted that there is TO be hard
feeling between the president and
Senator Chamberlain. The senator
is a democrat from the state of Ore
gon. Before being senator he was
governor of Oregon. He is AMMAN
of the highest character IL the
president had fuss with Senator'S
Stone, Reed or Vardiman or men of
that class there would be less re-
greet, but his quarrel is with man
who has been trying to be true
patriot The senator from oregon is
chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs He believes in univer-
sal training of young men so that
when their country is in danger they
may be called to the colors. The
longer the senator has served on the
military committee the more he has
been dissatisfied with circumstances
as they had been heretofore. Sem
ator Chamberlain went to New York
fresh from his duties at Washington
and he indicated very plainly that he
did not think the business OF the
war department had been well man
aged. This stirred the president
The president said sharp words TO
. The senator. Readers of The Capital
! iss.aow the whole stCs-g- Se->:te has 6tss'h
told in our columns. This much
must be true. There should be no
permanent feud between President
Wilson and Senator Chamberlain.
Possibly after the senator defends
himself in the senate as he has al
ready partially done the president
may soften his feelings and once
more the two men may be on good
terms. Under the circumstances the
senate will undoubtedly stand by
| Chamberlain. This would please the
senator but would rot be move
ment in the interest of peace. The
president is sensitive and when 1t
comes to anything which affects him
personally he is combatiye- But the
president ought to know that Sena-
tor Chamberlain is sincere in his
Iutterances. He was not talking for
political effect He is not in danger
of being defeated in Oregon. The
senator is impatient at the sfowness
with which republic gets ready for
war.
We hone as time goes on the presi-
dent Will feel more kindly toward
those who offer suggestions. We
lpresume that If suggestions could be
made to the president in good tenn
per privately with some assurance
that the same would be acceptable
they would be considered and then
the fight would not be in hte open
as it now is between himself and
one of the strong men of the sen
ate President Mckinley had way
of letting the senators in at the side
door and receiving hteir suggestions
1t would seem that all presidents
would have to do this. But il ha;

cult task President Lincoln let al
most anybody come in and tell hin

Part of the story has been revealed IN a hear

A result of the disclosures is the removal OF
Captain Ogden L. Mills of the military intelli-
gence service from membership in the executive
committee of the censorship office. The naval
affairs committee had compiled, it is said a

German espionage system. It's workings IN

the committee was able to show that practically
every insidious move traceable to alien had
been inspired by single source. In a word, it
found the connecting link in the chain.
Plans were laid to pluck out the German sys-
tenn from America literally by the roots.

A SHINING EXAMPLE,

4 great problem in connection with the war
is the rehabilitation of wounded and disabled
soldiers. Australia has been pioneer IN this
noble and pre-eminently practical work.
Crawford Vaughan, former premier of South
Australia. has explained in an address delivered
IN this country what Australia Is doing In fit
ting the victims OF the war for civil occupa-
lions. Men who have lost limbs have not only
been provided with good artificial substitutes
but with special training for some branch OF IN
custrv In which their physical defects would
not prevent them from being Efficient Soldiers
who have come back from the front are en-
oIoved in factories for the manufacture of artl-
fetal limbs. It may seem hard for a man with
an artificial arm or leg to compete with those
who are unnamed but experience has proved
that sometimes a one armed or one-legged man
may be good workman
There are institutions in Australia where the
soldiers who have been temporarily deranged
BIZ shell shock are treated, and in nearly every
case they recover. Blind soldiers are treated
in special schools for the blind.
There is some difficulty in finding q suitable
calling for wounded men and for the purpose
special boards Of trained experts have been es-
tablisned The effect OF an open air life III the

to his inner office where met young inventor who had 8 scheme whereby we could safely communicate with our U-boate commanders at sea. His idea was not exactly an invention, it was rather good scheme. He pro- posed that we induce one of the har- Dor officials to turn his face the other way while we anchored several spec ially constructed buoys some distance from the harbor with deepsea moor ings. These buoys would be a sea post office. At intervals we would de- posit lists of ships to depart from the Swedish harbors with an itemtsed list of each ships cargo. Our U-boat commanders would frequently visit these buoys, receive these messages and leave whatever message they wished to send to the fatherland. This was easy of accomplishment and there was nothing about it that was new; it is the old Dusseldorf idea.

 "Only an hour a day! And yet that bit of extra time each day dur ing the summer months will give more than Soo,OO0 years to the war gardeners of the country. That hard ly seems possible until you figure 1t out" says Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the National War Gar den Commission, Washington.
 Reports show that there will be at least 5,oo0,00o home food produc- CTS cultivating back yards, vacant lots and other stacker land this year. In seven months of 26 work tng days each the individual gains 1S2 hours, or more than 22 S-hour days. Five million soldiers of the soil will gain 910,000,o 900 hours, or i13,760,0oO days. This Is equivalent 70 S11, ,644 years"
