 The British controller sounds the warning that supplying the millions Of American soldiers destined for France, is going to strain the common re- sources. The military problem in the last analysis" he says, "is 8 tonnage problem. The war for the allies is first, last, and all the time, a ques- tion> of ships, and yet more ships
 Springfield Repubican.) .
 The enormous demands upon ton mage hereafter to keep the American army in France fully supplied must engage official attention more and more seriously as forces continue to be shipped overseas. It@ is cheerful news from the Alameda. shipyard in California, at this moment, that yes- terday was launched 12,0Oo-ton steamer, built in twenty-four working days In" thirty-hve working days after launching she will be ready for sea. These. records seem incredible but soon 4ffay will be a mere com monplace of the shipping industry in America. Yet there cannot be enough ships while the war lasts. ~
 (Albany Argus,)
 The Gazette de Lorraine explains that Hindenburg's plan, when the Americans were ready to sail. was to allow them to cross the Atlantic in safety, as many of them as we might fpolishly decide on sending, and when we had a million or two over there nicely settled, Germany was to ring the waters of the Atlantic around France with a great line of submarines and keep supplies from America out. locking our troops in and starving them to death. All this has been pre- arranged, the Gazette de Lorraine tells it's readers, and the plan is to be put into execution as soon as a sufficient mum Der of Americans arrive to make it worth while.

MAY PHONE TELEGRAMs.

Owing to a misunderstanding re- gently concerning the custom of the Western Union Telegraph company of allowing telephone subscribers to have their telegrams charged to their telephone accounts, many telephone subscribers are under the impression that this privilege has been done away with and that they can no longer have their telegrams charged in this manner. The Western Union wishes to impress upon patrons that there has been no change made in the pro- vision and telegrams may be tele- phoned to the office and charged to subscribers telephones as has been prac tised for years.

Developing Boy Power.
(DetrOit Free, Press. ]

Announcement is made, that the is taking steps to "~landardize the training, housing and employment methods" pertaining to utilization of boy-power on the farms of the Unit-7 ed States. Standardization, iG is un- derstood, is to be made applicable in all states Dext year.
 Some Iup1l of what is meant by standardization" is gained from con- sideration of the fact that farm camps" have this year been estab- lished in seven states. In these camps high school boys are given intensive training for farm duties. The states having such camps already. in opera ton include Vermont, Connecticut Indiana, Nevada, Colorado, Maine and PennsylVan Just what plans will later be detailed for recruiting, teach power of the nation. of course, 'can- not be guessed. They will be awaited with considerable interest general lily.
 Undoubtedly standardization will do nuch< for the effectiveness Of boy power to. agriculture, and the utili- zation ofSthe boys on the farms Is to be encouraged in all proper ways. Rut if will be well to remember that the bows will not prove the full solu- ton of the farm-labOr problem of 1919. Every other possible source will need development to make the farms produce their utmost.

 Gen. von Arz, the chief of the Austrian General Staff, who is now said to have been dismissed, has also attempted to dispose of the American army in conversation with the Berlin correspondent of the Neue F'reie Presse--a conversation which, curi- ously enough, was mainly devoted to enthusiastic praise of militarisrn in Spain. Gen. von Arg said:
 You ask me whether American help could provide any Sort of substi- tute for the loss of the masses of Rus sjans, even if iS reached the French battlefield in the fullest measure of the wishes and hopes of the Allies which must be doubted, if only be- cause the activity of the German sub marines is bound to produce dis turbanCe and confusion in the trans port dispositions of the American army. No, l regard it as impossible One must not forget that at the begin- ming of the war we had agafnst our fronts from seven to eight millions of Russian soldiers, for the most part men with years of training: in anv case capable fighters and simply per rect in the modesty of their reouire- ments. In comparison with that. sWhat are million or a million and a halt of Americans, unaccustomed to war, with short training and no expe- rlence, and with their elevated ideas of living and total want of apprecia- ton of the hardships of war?''

Easy Money in Norway.
(New York Tribunel

N4NCW OTk lT1Dune)
 A current dispatch tells of the call culations of a Swedish <statisticiar r, that Norway is now, save Austria, the most expensive country, iii, the world to live in. But this is doubtless leav- ing starving Russia out of the count A correspondent tells of paying s12.5O per day for a modest hotel room and S2.75 for a package of cigarettes Up-counfrM wood choppers are earn ing as much as $60 a. week. Flower women, bootblacks and bellboys are speculating heavily in stocks and making fabulous sums. The young bloods use thQusand- notes as ash trays or tonight their cigars with Whiskey is contraband, but sells readily at $35 a bottle. Boozers take note.
 ., It is reckoned that the purchasing power of the crown (26 cents normal} has fallen to less than one-thir.d this Attempts made to fix prices have completely failed even in this sharply isolated country, with% a population little larger than that of New Jer- sey. Yet Norway is. not in the war: 1t has had no vast war buNing"; it has had no huge issue of paper mon- ey. Why should such wild imitation of prices occur? <s ~->
 The answer is identically the same as for the huge rise in prices in the United States from 1915 to 19t7-a deluge of gold. Norway, Sweden, Denmark have been sellingmtheir sur plus of food and goods to the warning nations, and of necessity big inpour of gold ensues. Bank credits expand, a wild ''boom' sets in,., and prices soar. The whole country goes on a spree. .',~
 We once spoke of the war as wonderful laboratory experiment in economies. It is for all the world like the test tubes of the chemist. Tn each nation. acting exactly like a test tube, so much gold or paper or new bank credit has been introduced and in each nation the reaction has been precisely what could have been pre- diCted beforetime. It has exactly an- swered the mathematical equation, worked out by Simon %Newcomb thir~ ty-three years ago. For almost a, generation Newcombs work was ig- nored by our economists. Today it is the cornerstone of orthodox, econom- ic teaching. What the war did was to take the theory from academic halls and show it's value and use in everyday affairs. There is no longer an economist of standing to question it's validity. Tn another generation, perhaps in this, even the housewife, some Senators and the editors of some papers will learn to know that too much money spells high prices.

 Sheer at the lightning trained Americas sons have met the Huns, And the Kaiser's hopes have waned. We would not enter the war, Our soldiers could not cross, By night and day the U-boats lay. Where the pillows swirl and toss; We could not get the ships.
 Or gunners to man the guns, Not Q. ghost of a show had our boys . you know.
 If they ever should face the Huns. But the ships are on the deep. And a million men have crossed. Though the sea snakes sting and the
 pillows fling
 Their white caps tempest tossed; Our boys will do and will dare The depths or the battle flame, Americas sons will meet the Huns, And beat them at the game.
