BACK IN HARNESS.

We know that our readers will
be Interested in Colonel Roose-
vclt's first contribution since his
recent severe illness.
Let US quit being content with
feeble mediocrity." he tells Us in
the Kansas City Star.
Let us demand really first
class efficiency in both prepara-
ton and performance. That is
the only way to do what'we' must
do and see this war throu,h % i
triumphant conclnsion."
"This is the peoples war, Z
Colonel Roosevelt continues. III
is not the presidents war, nor is
it the war Of congress. II is
Americas war;.
He asks that the machinery o.
the government be placed in
charge Of disting rushed men who
have demonstratsa their ability,
and who will supplant efficiency
for such gross inefficiency as has
been in evidence in the first year
Of the war s.g
The first big failure, Colonel
Roosevelt puts aduwn is our in
ability to graphic, with The

fications are needed. we may
turn TO the figures in yesterdays
Missonlian, revealed by Edward
Harding, chairman Of the execu-
tive board hi the National Pa
triotic Societies. According ia
these figures the present short
age is 7,i35,89i tons, almost i.o0G
vessels OF 5000 gross tons. The
total tonnage available by the
United States and its allies today
is A,435,80i, less than in the fall
of 1914. We know that there was
q shortage before our part in the
war began, but since then II has
become necessary for us to add
100000 tons to transport and
maintain i.o00,OO0 Americans
who, ii is expected. will be in the
war zone before the end OF the
year.
The delay in executing the
shipping program and in the
equipment OF our army has been
most deplorable, but the big thing
now is not to shed tears over
split milk. but to drive ahead and
repair the damage, if possible.
II is for that reason that Colo
