teresting letter which brings the news
that his brother. Howard, who is with

having the time of his life. He is

STRONG FOR WAR

THE PAST those nations continued which were strong N enough to defend themselves, The nation prevailed which had the power to conquer neghborng nations.
 Time has qualified but has not changed the main condl- on The nation which desires independent existence still must look the conditions which constitute military strength Any nation which realizes these condition must maintain he or be overcome.
 conditions military strength large population highly developed science married to vast production, ade quate transport and high type of organization for cooperative effort
 Germany entered the with borrowed science, by a high type of industrial organization of her development The military organization of Germany good but probably better perhaps not excellent that of France
 The task which confronted the Allies at the outbreak o1 the the organization of armes production of food and transport comparatively to raise armies but hard to equip them The food problem exceedingly difficult Germany could almost depend upon the produce of her soil Great Britain had to be supplied from elsewhere
 Britain and France began improvement of their in ternal organizations which proceeding to this instant Us ing the most general terms these improvements were Tn the higher type of cooperation They implied larger of direction, and srcter limitations private direction.
 eously These changes would called socastc if they not efforts of business men, directly obtain the greatest amount of military strength
 is the origin of this larger cooperation in America which gives of its permanency If these changes proceeded consciousness from the purpose of group to benefit itself the charge of all the ohers they might be The changes the result of organization by the leading business minds of America They designed to make America stronger.

SMALLPOX IN GERMANY

ERMANY IS the best vaccinated country in the world NJ cepting perhaps Japan. But Germany is suffering out breaks of smallpox of intense vruence Of this phenomenon Dr. Woods Hutchinson says:
 The full of black smallpox in
 
 dimensions longho of pr. Hutchinson like most of his profession has inherited the ancient belief in vaccination But in long article small in Germany he does not stop instant to wonder why those we'll vaccnaed people should have smallpox does suggest that vaccination is not specific for smallpox. If he will pause to think using the customary forms of logic, he must proceed something like this:
 Germany well vaccinated country. Before the war there little smallpox in Germany Now there is smallpox among the workers Essn and spreading rapidly because of the enfebed conditions of the operatives from underfeeng and long hours of work Vaccination does not protect who underfed and who work too long,
 Many men, including many doctors, who have made spe- cal and extended investigation of vaccination and its statistics suggest that vaccination is not a specific for smallpox Smallpox will reappear wherever the conditions pres ent Filth and undereedng overwor and all those conditions generally will make for the eneebement of the forces entire communities.

GLOWING FUTURE
 FOR GERMANY
 SEEN BY KAISER

Amsterdam, July 13-How the Ger man Emperor pictures the future of Germany is recorded by his favorite war correspondent, the faithful Karl Rosner Of the Lokal Anzeiger.
 One evening. after busy day in surveying operations from a chain of observation posts, the emperor, chat ting with his entourage, spoke with glowing enthusiasm, says Rosner, of the time when the forces now let loose on destruction would again be placed in the service of peaceful pursuits. He sketched far reaching advances in the technical domain, in physics, chemistry and scientific farming. The emperor forecast that all of Ger many's needs in nitrates would be cov- cred by extracting nitrate from the air.
 The Emperor then described "the marvellous possibilities of the new gas motors and how purified waste waters from metal works would serve to fertilize the fields so that deserts will blossom like roses and make arid regions self supporting as regards l food.
 With daring flights of fancy continues Rosner, the emperor pre- dicted the harnessing of the rays ot the sun and the recovery of the oceans enormous treasures. This will all come to pass, the en- peror assured his hearers, once Ger. many obtains the Strong peace" fo1 which he is working.

LOCOMOTIVES ARE MORE
 NEEDED THAN FREIGHT CARS

Lead of the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics, has made prediction that the new car construction will not obviate a shortage when crop and coal movements pile upon railroads after October. He declares that 125, 1000 freight cars are worn out and junked normally each year by American roads, and that during recent years the construction has failed to keep pace with wastage. There were A. 072 fewer freight cars in use on Am erican railroads in 1917 than there were at the beginning of 1911, he con- cludes, placing the present total at ap- proximately 2,500,0O0. This total, he asserts, is 250,000 short of the mum Der required to handle the freight.
 "The original shortage which was responsible mainly for the chaos of last winter, will have to be increased rather than decreased" he said in a statement upon the administrators car building program, "and at that learned at recent conferences al Washington that cars have not thus far been turned out as fast as they might have been.
 "On March 1, 1916, for the first time for 2 1-2 years, the American Railway Association reported net shortage of cars. This was due main ly to weather conditions, and to ar acute congestion at Eastern ports. | disappeared, and did not return fol five months. On September 1, 1916 however, a new shortage was report ed again; and net shortage varying from 34,000 to 139,00O cars have beer reported every month since. This un broken continuance of car shortage for more than 20 months is withou l precedent in the history of American railroading. The car shortage il again on the ascendancy now, and vii assuredly reach it's peak early in Oc tober when the crop movement to gether with the coal traffic will fur ther augment the demands upon tn, railroads"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-07-13

Washington, July 13.-In the light of experience with transportation diff faculties during the winter of 1917- IS, chiefs of the United States rali- ditional locomotives are more neces- sary now than additional freight cars.
 Discussing the decision recently an- nounced to build 100000 new cars for American railroads during the pres ent year, railroad administration off, cials say the number was fixed only after every locomotive that existing facilities could turn out during the next year had been ordered.
 Tt was not a shortage of cars that brought about congestion in the past, " it is said at the Railroad Administra- ton. 'In fact, so many cars got damned up in terminals that they nearly blocked transportation them selves. The shortage was in motive power. So in considering the matter this year, when the war industries board fixed the amount of steel which it would allot to railroad use, we as- signed to the engine shops every pound that there was a reasonable chance of getting into g. new locomo- tive this year. Any engine builder who can increase his capacity can still | get orders.
 After that, an estimate of the amount of steel available was made and as many cars as can come out o1 it were ordered. That happened tc be 100000. They are of a composite steel and wood design, adopted be- cause it will get more cars out of the steel supply. Only the event itselt will show, but we consider that the construction ordered will be sufficient to meet the strains, though all of oul calculations are based upon an in creased traffic burden for railroad: next year."
