japanese Steel Production.

Through recent Investigations by the
mining bureau, says Commerce Re.
ports, 1t Is learned that the total pro-
ducing capacity of japanese steel mills
was $4,000 tons, IN round figures, last
August, according to the Japan Adver-
tiser. During the first half Of the past
year $4,000 tons of various shapes
were produced in this country, eXclu-
sive of the colonies. OF this amount
100000 tons we're produced by the gov
eminent steel works. The Japan Steel
Tube Co. turned out $4,000 tons; the
Japan Steel Works, $4,000 tons; the
Kawasah Dockyard Co., $1,000 tons ;
and the Kamaishi Steel Works, 10000
tons.
The Advertiser quotes officials IS
saying that at the end Of the past year
the products of those mills reached
$4,000 tons net. Compared with the
preceding year this is an increase of
90 per cent. If this rate of increase is
maintained. 1918 will see q further in
crease at least to $4,000 tons net.

Teachers are engaged in productiy

Teachers are engaged in productive
occupation and are not required to drop
their profession and engage during the
war in other work heretofore classed as
Essential under the "work or fight"
order Of the authorities at Washington.
A ruling to this effect by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has been receiv-
ed by Superintendent M. P. Shawkey, of
the State department of schools. He
has been besieged with inquiries from
male teachers all over the State anx-
ious to learn the status of the teaching
profession with reference to useful and
necessary employment. This ruling
does not mean that teachers Of draft
age are released from the selective mill
tary service, but il concerns only the
employment Of those not drawn for
military duty.

Ninety-five per cent. Of all refined
sugar sent from the United States TO
the Allied nations went to France and
Belgium during the first FIVE months
of this year.
France got y per cent, or nearly
100000 pounds. and Belgium receiv-
ed nearly 100000 pounds, or % per
cent.
In each country this sugar was doled
out by a strict rationing organization.
The entire amount to the Allies in
these five months-23,791 tons, almost

How the Americans Fight.

a French officer and correspondent,
Lieutenant Eutraygues, in telling OF
the great counter offensive of the Allies
in Iuly and August, writes as follows
TO the Temps, the leading newspaper OF
Paris, in regard to the part that the
American soldiers played in this great
battle:
The finest thing of the combat was
the dash of the Americans. 1t was a
fine thing to see those grand fellows
with their tunics thrown off and their
shirt sleeves rolled up above their ei-
bows, wading the river with the wafer
TO their shoulders and throwing them
selves on the boche like bulldogs.
"Anv one who has seen such signt,
he goes on, knows what the Amerl-
can army is good for henceforth and 10
the end of the war. At the sight OF
these men, magnificent in their youth,
physical force, good temper and dasn'
the Germans tleC with every leg vi
surrendered without awaiting the ORDER
to throw away their arms and take on
their suspenders, which is the first
thing a prisoner is told to do, in order
that he may be compelled to keep his
hands employed and out Of mischief
The Germans hurried toward our lines
gripping their trousers, haggard, and
mad with terror. Would that every
mother in France who has lost son
in the war could have seen the epic
sight. They would have seen them
selves revenged, and it would have
been some consolation to them in their
sorrow"

Campaign opens septen-

Every day the newspapers tell Of
some one or another of the Yanks
having been awarded the cross OF

gun nest, the taking Of another town
Of two In desperate hand to hand
fighting And our hearts swell with
pride that It is 80.
Equally appreciative Of their PROV

have shown yourselves to be worthy
sons Of your great country and have
gained the admiration Of your broth

We are wholly justified in being
proud Of them. We can look the

feel again that the traditions OF
American arms have been upheld;
