Life of Concrete Ship.

A false impression seems to have
been taken from some remarks of r. j.
Wig, chief engineer of the concrete
ship division of the Emergency Fleet
corporation, relative to the short life
of a concrete ship. He says, in cor
recting this error, chat experiments
snd Investigations have shown that
concrete ships will last minimum of
several years without any protection
whatever. The application of protec-
tive coatings are certain to extend
their life several years, and with the
further developments of protective
means upon which we are now work
ing, believe the concrete ship can
be made as permanent as steel, If not
more so. He further stated that II
the concrete ship is built of the new
concrete mixture developed by the
Emergency Fleet corporation, the ship
will be 20 per cent lighter than the
wooden ship.

We have not received the Weekly
News Letter for three weeks, and we
miss it. 1t is edited by George Creel
who is the administration megaphone.
Georges mission in his magnified vocif-

erring generation of Democratic politi-
clans is in control of the several boards,
bureaus, commissions and departments
which are conducting all the public, and
some of the private affairs of the citizens
of the United States. We like George
because he imparts a fleeting glow to
their folly and dazzling lustre to such
sense as they occasionally manifest. The
stuff which George sends out is mighty
cheering in it's effect on pessimist. He
has the ability to make things look better
than they really are. The reader will
not be convinced but he will feel better
for few seconds. George is what Arte-

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

Mr.. Clarence W. Barron, editor of the
Boston News Bureau and of the Wall
Street journal, has recently returned from
! three months visit in Europe, and in
the Boston Post says this of our soldiers:
81 thought at first that the Allies were
patting the American soldier boy on the
back, as he was their salvation. But
found that the American soldier boy was
the real thing and didn't need any flattery
or patting on the back.
cat the British embassy in Paris they
told me that all Europe was astonished
at the organization and discipline of the
American army They discussed at first
the American staff and the staff's hold
upon the fighter You must understand
that it is sometimes absolutely necessary
for strategic purposes to order troops to
retire. They feared that the American
boys would always 60 forward and could
never be controlled.
"But in the battlefield of Chateau
Thierry they saw the American soldier
boy ordered to abandon his trenches and
retire in order. He promptly obeyed.
Then the trenches were filled with gas,
the Germans came on, and died like rats
in trap.
"When the American marines were
rushed south from scissors they met the
French retreating in disorder from Bel
leau wood The French said to the Amer
lean boys, Come along with us,
''The Americans responded, Hell, we
were told to 60 the other way, and we're
going And the American marines went
UP against German machine guns placed
behind trees and rock in that famous
wood and they never stopped until they
had slaughtered every German soldier
and gunner.
''The battle of Belleau wood was the
great American victory of the war and
its story has never yet been told on this
side.
"But all P arts rang with it and its fame
is throughout Europe. Never since has
there been any lack of confidence in the
fighting qualities of the Americans, the
discipline or the staff control.
'In both France and England it was
confessed to me three months ago, and
nowhere disputed, that the United States
had won the war"

When France Rebuilds.

"Have you Americans any conception
of what the requirements of France will
be, when the allies have won the wal
and our country begins it's work of recon-
struction ?" This question was asked
ness man of Paris, who, having been
gassed, can no longer fight, and is visit
ing this country. From what he pro-
ceeded to relate it is evident that COM
paratively few on this side do realize
what our export trade to France is des-
tined TO become.
"For many years." he said, "our peo-
pie secured their machinery, printing
presses, tools, electric machinery, and
lighting fixtures, ETC., all from Germany.
This was because German prices were
lower than other countries. But now!
Germany could not name price which
would induce Frenchman to buy of her,
no matter what his need. England will
be busy supplying her own wants and
those Of her export trade, hence we are
looking to your country. Our textile
mills, nearly all of which were in north
east France, have long since been de-
stroyed and the machinery carried into
Germany. Our textile manufacturers
are already making new start in south
west France; securing what little ma
chinery they can. With the end of the
war this industry will be one of the first
to resume, and we shall require, of tex
tile machinery alone, over 100000, 00C
francs. could 60 on down list of a
hundred articles, whose requirements,
while not so great, will in the aggregate
total vast sum. Partly because ou1
people regard the Americans so highly,
and are full of admiration for the splen-
did things they are doing in our country,
and partly that we may know and read
your language, great numbers of our peo-
pie are studying English, not only to be
able to read it, but to speak it as we'll
We expect to offer such attractive OPP
portunities, especially to constructing
engineers and mechanics of all kinds,
that thousands of your young men will
remain in France, at least during the first
two or three years of reconstruction" ~

Mechanics Magazine.

An estimate of the total casualties of
the war places them at the enormous
figure of 27,875, 900, while the dead are
figured at 10000, 600. OF the bellieerents
Russia is estimated to have had casualties
of 1000, 900, with Germany next with
6, 600, 600 and Austria Hungary, third with

their code of thinking and doing will

them.

l cut down the woods road lined by

Forgot my gas mask" he mumbled,

He didn't meet my eyes; poor little
Mickie, only nineteen, hating rats and
jumping at loud noise, lazy and soft
and fond of an easy bed! 1 put my
hand on his arm.
"Oh, Mickie," 1 said, '1ast time you
were chosen for a party-the first time
you were put on real job-you had
cramps. A boy with an Irish name
shouldn't act this way. Don't you know
that the boys already suspect you, and
that the lieutenant is only giving you
the benefit of the doubt? The next time
anything like this happens to you he'll
be certain, and then he'll put you in all
the dangerous places. If you run away
then he'll have you shot for coWardlce.
If you would just face it once you'd feel
different. Nothing is ever so bad when
we are going through it as we thought
it would be before we got to it. Please,
Mickie, take my gas mask and go
back
All honor to the poor shaky lad that
he did not try to excuse himself on the
score that I should need the gas mask

What if anything should happen to

If l had son of soldier age l hope

It's sort of wearing to see man you

his back to you and walk down
camouflaged road The real comfort
is that after all the danger is very
much less than it seems. We have to
remember always that small percent
age of men are badly wounded;
smaller still killed, and the huge ma
iority of shells and bullets never harm
anything except earth and trees.

that it will be wise to delay the sending
of shiploads of supplies until it is known
that food conditions are vastly worse in
Germany than in Belgium and the de-
vastated portions of France. We notice
in recent despatch that fears are enter
tanned that the returning German soldiers
will loot the vast accumulations of food
stored along the Rhine. After our ex-
periences with the Huns we certainly
ought not to allow them to flim-flam the
United States. We do not owe Germany
ANYTHING not even charity. When Ger
many invaded Belgium she did not feed
the hungry. Instead the soldiers were
allowed and encouraged to steal all the
food that could be found. Before we feed
Germany it is not only our duty, but it
is nlainly Justice that we should not per-
nit the Belgians to suffer from hunger,
and to see that the people of valiant and
war stricken France should be provided
with three square meals a day and that
our own people shall be reasonably fed.
Germany has managed to live for four
years without starving. Her cities and
villages have not been destroyed, her
farms have not been torn by shot and
shell, her farm machinery has not been
destroyed or stolen. After we have sent
of our substance sufficient to sustain our
allies who have borne the heat and burden
of the day, and fed our own people, if
there is then food to spare, we should
feed the starving, fist in Russia and
then in Germany. Doubtless we shall
find, after we have fed her, that she is
still unregenerate, still our enemy. The
distribution of whatever surplus food we
may have should be determined by JUS
tice, not by sentiment Those who preach
with Romans XII, 20, as a text, will
doubtless disagree with our doctrine
which is based on Job VIII, 3.
