Now that American troops are TAX
ing their places in the trenches. atten-
ton is again directed to an estimate
by the secretary of war, that the losses
up to June 1, 1917, of the British ex-
peditionary forces from deaths in ac-
ton and from wounds amounted to but
z per cent of the total of all men sent
to France since the beginning of the
war.
The ratio of losses of this character
today, because of improved tactics, is
less than to every 100 men,
1t is the opinion of the United
States food administration that the
gross maximum profit for wholesalers
in flour should not exceed from so to
10 cents per barrel. The profit to re-
tail dealers in original mill packages
should not exceed from so cents to
S12O per barrel, depending upon the
character of service performed. Where
retailers sell in amounts less than the
original mill packages, the gross profit
should not exceed 1 cent pound

The estimate as to the possibility that

HOW TO PROPERLY USE
COAL WILL BE TOLD
Fuel Administrators instruction
Station to Be Opened Here
Next Tuesday.

Everything is in readiness for the
opening next Tuesday of Washington's
instruction station at 1925 F street.
where householders will be instructed
in the proper methods of burning do
nestle anthracite coal in their heaters
and ranges.
The fuel administration has selected
a corps of instructors from among
representatives of manufacturers and
designers of heating appliances. In
addition to these 1t is likely that do
nestle fuel engineers who formulated
plans for the instruction station will
be present throughout the week to
give lectures.
Beginning Tuesday, the instruction
station will be open every afternoon
and evening for the balance of the
week. Arrangements have been made
to give three lectures at time, in
the event of the crowds being large
talks, will be the same. but the idea
is to handle the crowds SO that no
body will have to wait and so that
it will be possible to give thorough
attention to the questions of the
individual consumers.
Fuel administrators in thirteen
states have been invited by the fuel
administration to attend the lectures.
These administrators are from the
states east of the Mississippi river
in which domestic anthracite is used
by householders. Later these ad-
illustrators Will establish similar
stations in parts of their states.

When an apparent opportunity to

merly a director of the Hamburg

sent to Washington for use by the

, According to Mr.. Becker, the first
report was written by H. A. Boas, son
Of the former head in this country Of
the Hamburg American line. In 1T
Mr.. Boas stated that "the original
scheme of purchasing Viereck's week
ly was dropped for obvious reasons"
but that william Bayard Hale seems
anxious to get another paper or start
one" This" Mr.. Boas added, "can be
done at any time if desired"
Asserting that the magazine field
had narrowed down to Harper's
Weekly and Current opinion. Mr.. Boas
declared that the former "is found not
to be for sale,' but that Current Opin-
ion "can be had for $125,000." Mr..
Boas suggested, however. that cit
would appear better to start a new
weekly than to pay $125.000 for a
monthly review which must be turned
into weekly"
Turning to the newspaper field, the
report stated that of the New York
daily morning papers there are only
two possibilities-the Sun and the
Press" Mr.. Boas added that "a per-
sonal friend of mine" had expressed
the opinion that "51 per cent of the
Sun might be had for $150.000." but
that Charles A. Rick, publisher OF
the Sun, told Boas that "he had been

CLEARLY STATED
HIS PEACE VIEWS
1continued from First Page.)

ened intercourse Of nations Is an es-
sential part of the process OF peace
and of development. 1t need not be
diffcult either to define or to secure
the freedom Of the seas if the gov
ernments Of the world sincerely desire
to come to an agreement concern
ing it.
with the Limitation of naval arma-
ments and the cooperation Of the ma
vies of the world in keeping the seas
at once free and safe. And the ques-
ton of limiting naval ornaments
opens the wider and perhaps more
difficult question OF the nmitatlon -, OF
armies and OF all programs OF mill
tary preparation. Difficult and deli
cate as, these questions are, they must
be faced with the utmost candor and
decided in a spirit Of real accommo-
dation if peace is to come with heal
ing in it's wings and come to stay.
Peace cannot be had without conces-
sion and sacrifice. There can be no
sense Of safety and equality amons
! the nations If great preponderating
ornaments are henceforth to continue
| here and there to be built up and
maintained"
Not as Divergent AZ Supposed.
i officials in Washington who have
been following British pubic and
press opinion closely are struck with
frequent expressions which indicate
that Great Britain is not nearly SO far
removed from President Wilson's
point on the naval question as might
be supposed.
! For example, a recent utterance of
lord Robert Cecil is quoted in which
he stated that none but a lunatic or
an imbecile" could doubt that new
unity must take the place of the
world chaos that is Gathering into the
abyss.
Another English pu1licist, A. G.
Gardiner. in a recent contribution to
the Springfield Republican, is held to
express typically a growing public
opinion in England when he said:
| "The artificial order which has held
the world together during the wal
has collapsed with the end of the
war. Government has gone over hall
| of Europe.
| This country (England), more thar
any other, has saved Europe from
despotism; this country. more than
any other, can save it from anarchy
But 1t must boldly pay the price"
! Then he proceeds with an argument
for the pooling of national interests
in food, supplies, buying and other
| matters, in peace time along the lines
that such pooling was effected during
| the war.

TOUCHING MEMORIAL
FOR GEORGIA CAPTAIN

tered the first officers training camp

you will find that Invitations, pirnples,
