from Trinidad to the depart

II Is obvious. however. to any
person who will watch the fierce
fire and note the great heat Civ
en- off from burning cOcOnut
shells that the fuel value Of the
shells Is considerable. and that
also there might be "a special
usefulness for such shells In
connection with coal and other
fuel to enable furnace fires to
be started quickly and more In.

sibly the shells could be ground
into powder and made into bri

ployed to advantage In econo.

now so extensive In most trop-

The following etracts are TAX
en- from letter that was receiv-
ed by Miss Carlotta wiseman from
Ensign NJ. 4. Miller, who was a for
'mer Grants Pass teacher. rsfgs
-~-'l slrl ~ July ls. 1918.
I've been on the move ever since
May 26. At that time was trans
ferred from the Marblehead TO the
Yale while at sea and on that tub |
came to the east coast, started my
trip over the Atlantic on May 81,
On May so | passed through the
Panama canal, and ever since June .
| have been sailing In submarine
waters, but as yet have not seen a
sub. hope see II first when the
time comes. for the Atlantic is a
pretty rough place to go swimming
In so far from home.
On June 9Th or 9TH travelled by
train to New York city. from there
to Pelham Bay Park training station
at which place was given an exam
ination, passed. and was sent to New
York city, sworn In as An ensign on
June 10. given orders to travel to a
place to the U, s. s. Montana, and

around the ankles and too tight

collars and shirts. In fact am q
considered an officer now, and
don't expect to see home untlf after
the war is over. or until get tc

Just what are you doing to pass
away the cool summer days? Rails

them my greetings. You are a junior

NOW OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE
Port Whence slnbad Sailed on Voyage
Of Trade and Adventure
Has Deeayed.

In spite Of the evidences Of modern
industry. Basra was the port from
which Sinbad set out on his voyages
of trade and adventure. Sinbad was
not a myth but real man with q
sailors love for the sights Of foreign
lands, Louis A. Springer writes in
Asia. 1t must have been a great event
when he sailed away with his fleet Of
dhows and when he returned with
treasures of far-off China and the
Eastern islands. The Basra Of today
Is mean little town in a clearing Of
palm trees two miles from the river,
and at Its port, instead Of the ladened
dhows are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares Of the West Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, is the ira
ditional site of the Garden of Eden !;
beyond are the ruins Of Babylon and
on the bank Of the Tlgris Is the r0-
mantle city of Bagdad where Harun-
al-Rashid, the great callph, attracted
the wits and the wealth of Islam and
ruled in lavish splendor. Down the
Arabian coast are great ruins, still
almost unexplored. Lovat Fraser, q
close student Of this region, believes
that some day 1t will be demonstrated
that here was the scene Of mOmentous
events that determined the course OF
the human race while the shores Of
the Mediterranean were yet in irhpene
trable darkness and that here the first
dim glimmerings Of civilization
dawned upon the mind Of primitive
man.

others used the bridges that still
were standing.
One detachment of Germans, some
what more than company. moved
forward into the open Here the
American machine guns caught them
and, sweeping them with bullets, de-
stroyed them almost totally.
The Germans attempted to strike
the Americans a disconcerting coun-
ter blow with a considerable force
by plunging down ravine leading
to the river. Their path had been
cleared by their artillery and they
might have succeeded in reaching
the Americans, but the movement
had been reported to the artillery
stations south OF the Vesle and
from there swept into the advancing
column such a mass OF shells that
the formation was quickly broken.

June I5. but the burden imposed a
considerable strain on individual
tax payers ans on the general bus
mess system. There will be all the
more reason for easing the burden
next year. because the tax will be so
much larger. With this arrange
ment, 1t should be taken care Of
without serious difficulty.

REpouBLE our EFFORTS

II would be unfortunate II the
great victory won In the Marne sa-
llent should lead to any relaxation OF
our will to win" In the midst OF
our rejoicing, We must realize that
for us the struggle has just begun,
The only frame OF mind Is that
urged by Secretary Baker. at means
that we must redouble our efforts" "
Every baseball or football team
knows the evil results of-overconfi-
dence. II is better always to over
estimate the foe than to underestl-
mate him. We now have the Huns
on the run. The way to keep them
on the run until We drive them pell-
nell past Berlin is for every sol
dier and every citizen to take the
war about twice as seriously as be-
fore. and prepare to fight and work
twice as hard.

LIBERATING GERMANY

The more people outside of Ger
many learn about that country's at
titude toward the war and toward
its government, the less they expect
a revolution in Germany.
d. Thcmas Curtin. an American
who left Germany as late as Janu-
AIRY. 1917, in his book. The Laid
of Deepening shadow describes
the attitude of the people. They
were hungry as far back as that,
and they we're grumbling in sullen
and futile sort of way about their
hunger. The grumbling sometimes
took the form of saying that things
must be managed differently some
how after this war. Their special
grievance was against the rich agrar-
ian class rather than against the
kaiser and his gang.
There was no talk of open revolt.
What little food rioting there had
been earlier had been so well hand
led by the government that no one
cared to make further violent pro-
tests concerning his troubles. And
the vague talk of changes that must
come after the war was always
checked entirely by the specially pre-
pared news of victories on land
or sea.
If a peace by negotiation should
be made, says Mr.. Curtin, the Ger.
man people would probably forget
all about the governmental changes
they dreamed of during the war
And in all likelihood very few rea
changes would be made.
That is one reason why the allie
intend to lick Germany thoroughly
They cannot trust any government
similar to that of Germany today
The allies are thrashing German
for their own safety of decency ant
humanity in the world. Incidently
they are going to do the Germans
good turn at the same time. Fol-
as Curtin says near the close or hi
book. "The amount of freedom whic
the German people attain in the mex
few years Is in direct proportion t
the amount of thrashing administer
ed to them by the allies.
If Germany ever returns to SAINT
in the future, she will stop hatinI
her present foes and learn to thanl
them for the good they have don
her.
