United States for the conduct Of this

proposes to raise by taxation is only one
third Of the total sum which he calculates

The American people are for sticking
at no outlay necessary To push the war
to a quick and satisfactory conclusion.
As n matter Of course they are against
waste and against prohtcering, but they

A NEW PROBLEM.

As our Army in France grows and our
production Of war materials increases We
shall need all the ships we can get We
hope to have enough to meet the situation.
But this will not by itself solve all our
problems. On the contrary, a new prob
lem will be created, for all this viii mean
increased congestion at our ports and on
railroads leading to tidewater. This in
turn is sure to affect the transportation of
coal, the supply of which will be further
reduced by the expansion of war plants.
There are some of the factors that point
TO serious difficulties next winter.
II is being suggested that the govern
ment is contemplating The curtallmcnt
of non-essrntial industry in this section
during the winter IN order To relieve
this situation. Much as we would regret
To see such drastic measures employed,
we must admit the possibility of some such
action being necessary. And If II rs 10
come to that. the only Wise course is TO
prepare in advance for the emergency.
Half the damage resulting from the Gar
field order last winter was due To the
uncxpectedness of It. This time sufficient
warning is being given to those engaged
in industries likely 10 be affected In
view of thctsacrificrs being made by our own
men on the battlefield, by many who
remain at home and by the whole popula-
tions Of Allied countries, public opinion
Will undoubtedly support any measures
necessary to carry ont the undertaking in
which VIC are engaged For this reason
It ould be better for those concerned TO
devote their energy toward meeting
future emergencies Of which they have
ample warning than 10 attempt to combat
a policy of curtaliment that may be I'M

Japan and Siberia.

There seems to be serious objection on
the part Of some of our public men against
any formal intervention by Japan in
Russian affairs. They seem to regard
Japan M 'bugaboo," as an element Of
danger if permitted to extend her military
or p ,litical influence very far beyond the
bour darics of her natural territory.
Why such suspicion should prevail it
is difficult to understand. Since the be-
ginning of the great war, Japan has been
very circumspect. She Endorsed the cause
of the Allies, and did Ter part in driving
Germany from her fortified port in China,
with neatness and dispatch. Since that
creditable performance she has been prac-
tically quiesoent. But it is known she is
prepared, with army and navy, to do what
ever war work she may be called upon to
perform.
And why not allot to Japan the task of
overthrowing the vicious and threatening
German influence and German presence in
Russia, or at least in Siberia? At Nladi-
vostok there are enormous supplies OF war
munitions and materials that would be of
incalulablc benefit to Germany If she
could Law hands on them. Japan can pro
tect them, and already has sent armed
forces there for that purpose. Why not
ask Japan to go further and insure against
any German occupation or control of
Siberia?
IL will be admitted that Japan has
smaller interest III the outcome ot the
great war than any other Of tho Allied
nations But she has an interest in pre-
venting thoroughly Gcrmanized Rus
STA. one that would include Siberia in It's
insidious grasp. She has an interest in
quiet and peaceful Asia, which would be
seriously impaired by Gcrmanys dominate
ng influence over all Russia.
President Wilson has announced his
determination to stand by Russia, but tins
docs not mean an Endorsement of Russia
under the prevailing Bolshevik control.
II means new Russian nation, in the
hands Of the Russian people. Japan
would not be likely 10 interposc opposi-
ton To such an outcome On tho contrary,
il would nc TO her interest TO further It.
And so why not invite Japan to beat the
German 10 the control OF Russia, and
possibly thereby help TO save Russia 70 tho

Is Your Life a Hard One?

Do YOU people at home feel at times
that this war has made your life pretty
hard? Read what an American cor
respondent writes about one Of our
bows who had been doing his duty.
In little field hospital west Of
Montdidier ! stopped at the bedside of
an American boy, one Of those victims
OF the German mustard gas, with which
the Huns are making all their present
gains His eyes were matted with yell
low pus and he could not see. His face
was terribly burned HIS lips were swollen
and purple His whole body had been
turned the color Of an Indian, and por-
tons of it looked Ike melted flesh, as
though il had been liquefied
The fighting had been renewed all
along the American lines, and German
wounded had begun coming into our
hospitals ! said to this soldier
The boys are getting their revenge
for YOU fellows tonight, He smiled
through his SCARED lips, and IN a voice
SO faint that had TO bend down to listen,
ne gasped, God wish was back there

An Unfortunate Result.

Greatly TO their regret, the managers
OF the Emergency Hospital at Milford have
been compelled TO close that institution,
because of lack of funds sufficient to keep
it in successful operation II had been
conducted for several years, and did a
great amount OF good
Whether IT was a mistake to establish a
hospital IN town Of Milford size and
population Is matter to be determined
Hospitals are very desirable at any centre
OF population, but they are costly institu-
tons, by reason Of the fact that they have
TO render a great deal of service without
any compensation This was one Of the
reasons why the Milford institution
found it impossible to continue opera
tions. It depended largely upon private
subscriptions for support, and the demands
Of the war have operated to materially
curtail this source Of revenue
That there should be a good hospital
between the one at Salisbury, Md, and
those in this city, is not doubted Dover
would be the most suitable location for
such hospital, and it might be we'll 10

Going After War "Profiteers

Very interesting. and also important,
was the announcement IN the news OF
Yesterday Of the discovery, by Federal
government agents, Of gigantic CON
spiraCy between manufacturers and con-
tractors agents to solicit Federal govern
mcnt war orders under an agreement TO
pay commissions illegally. The agents,
II is said, made representations to manu-
farturcrs that they had special influence
with army officers and others IN high
government circles. and therefore were
able TO keep their promises. Several
arrests were made Others Will follow, and
four men in Boston have been indicted.
The illegal operations extended 10 about
forty cities
War seems to be direct and potent
mediation to fraud on the part Of men eager
for wealth. During our Civil War, thou
sands Of men became immensely wealthy
from profitable government contracts,
which they secured at almost their own
figures Since our entrance into the great
