OUR sHIPBUILDiNG.

According to the announcement by Chairman Hurley of the federal ship board this country is due to have it's merchant marine increased by fl cargo vessels by the last of February with an aggregate tonnage of 327, 900. This doesn't mean ship production at the rate of one day. but it is better than one in two days and it is inter- esting to note that the rate of pro- duction increases as time gbes on for it is figured that 23 will be completed during the 2s days of next month. At that rate it ought not to be long be- fore the shipyards of the country will be turning out vessels not only at the rate of one day but at better ave- rage and be thus prepared to better take care of the demands which are constantly being made for more ships Some additional help is going to be secured from the vessels which have been communicated on the Grea' Lakes in taking care of the transat- lantic traffic but every ship tha. is re- moved from that locality simply means a loss to the shipping in that region Just now the shipping board is get ting the benefit of vessels which havt been taken over in the shipyards abou the country in different stages of com pletion. These are naturally going t, be finished much quicker than thos' | for which all the supplies must be SC cured, the keels laid and workmen as sembled, following the letting of gov

American trade and at the present
 Germany has been extending its barred zones for the purpose of fur ther demoralizing the trade with the entente nations. It intends to leave no loophole for any vessels of the ene- my CT those who happen to be trading with the enemy and it is to be pre- stunned that the vessels of Argentina found in the prescribed zones will be sunk with as little respect as if they were actually flying the British, French or Italian flags.
 Whether the demands of the Argen- tine press that resentment be shown for such action by Germany will amount to anything remains to be seen. Germany has of course been urged by it's representative in Buenos Aires to sink Argentine vessels with out leaving a trace. It also knows what that same representative has been doing in order to use Argentina for it's own purposes regardless of the effect it would have upon that cou1r- try as neutral nation. But for the opposition which has been manifested by it's president, Argentina would un- occasionally have declared war upon Germany before this. He has used political conditions to support hi; stand but it is a question how lons he can continue to do so. in view ol this new feeling which has beer aroused over the barred zone. and be able to maintain his contention. Ar gentina is some day going to insis upon it's rights and every move tha' is made against it by Germany i: bringing the day so much nearer.

FIRE LOSSES.

The loss by fires in this country is tending in the wrong direction. In spite of the efforts which are being put forth by calling attention to the countless opportunities to prevent them. by the methods which are being adopted to check them in their infan- cy and by keeping to the front the lessons which the appalling losses teach, to say nothing of the huge ex- pense which is entailed in equipping and maintaining fire departments, there is not the decrease that there ought to be.
 For the past year it is figured thai the fire losses in this country and Can- ada amounted to 7,560, 900. This represents gain of over 36,O00, 900 as compared with the previous year ant s9e,0o0,000 more than was experienced in 1915, although that was a year much below the average in norma times.
 In connection with the fires in tn, past year or two allowances must bt made for the firebrands and bomb that have been scattered by the agent of the enemy, and yet in spite of tha loss 1t is evident that the usual cause are contributing their share, if no more. This can be attributed to som extent to the speeding up of indust rles. the working of two and thre shifts where one only was previousl employed, but the responsibility never theless falls heavily upon the careless ness of American people. Our losse are always far greater per capita tha; those in foreign countries. We ca do our best in keeping down the oper ations. of the enemy within, but eve then we must realize that there is responsibility which we owe to our selves which needs better attention.

STORIES OF THE WAR
How War Has Affected Iassy.

Few cities in Europe have been more profoundly affected by the war than the little city of Jassy, now the provisional capital of Rumania. From a quiet, tranquil municipality with a population of less than 75,090, the place has suddenly grown to such pro- portions that the government authori- ties have found it difficult to provide comfortable living quarters for the civil population. which now numbers over 300, 900.
 After the evacuation of Bucharest, this modest little city became almost over night the home of the King and Queen and the seat of the entire gov ernment. Here also are located the legations of all friendly foreign gov ernments and the headquarters of the Rumanian army and of important di- visions of the Russian forces.
 Before the war Jassy was known chiefly as the ancient capital of the province of Moddavin. and as a city of interesting churches and historic associations. It is now the center o1 all official, commercial and military activity in the unoccupied territory oi Rumania. When Bucharest and the southern portion of the little Latin Kingdom were evacuated, a large par1 of the population of that section sought refuge here. Schools, colleges, stores
 barracks, and indeed any form oi structure that afforded shelter, had t I be converted quickly into living | quarters to provide for the great in | flux of homeless people who fled be. l fore the invading Germans. Provision: had also to be made for the variou: departments of the government ana for the many branches of the army To the American observer the cit!

FUEL FOR FACTORIES OR PLAY
 HOUSES,

In the big cities especially opposi ton is being manifested to the orders which have gone forth requiring the hour in the evening and closing them eorreSpondingly early and in New York particularly to the idea of closing three nights . week, In some places this order has not taken into con- sideration the earlier opening but has fixed the hour at which they should close. This has been done with the idea of saving coal. Business in gen. eral has also been asked to curtail its hours for the same reason.
 That the theaters do not take kind ly to the idea is manifested in the conference which has been asked with those who are endeavoring to improve the fuel situation in an effort to get the order modified under the claim that the closing of the theaters half of the week, or reducing the hours means a loss to the corporations and to the performers and upsets the pleas ure of the audiences.
 In view of the fact, however, that the inability to get fuel distributed sufficiently we'll to provide for the heating of homes, to keep public utili- ties going. to insure a proper amount for industries which are engaged or war orders without keeping the house holders and manufacturers in a state of fear and uncertainty. it ought tc he understood that the unnecessary must give way to the necessary. This is particularly true when it is claimet that factories which are engaged 1T producing non essentials may be GU off, for it must be realized that ther, is going to be a far greater loss b! closing such industries than by tn, limitation of the days or the hours 1T which theaters can keep open for tn, purposes of entertainment. We neet pleasure. but that must take secon' place when it comes to the matter o closing factories throughout the coun try, or using the fuel which is needle, by them for warming playhouses. Th coal used at theaters comes muc nearer being waste than that which i used in non essential factories.

narrow were the limits within which took place all those great doings that fill the books of Samuel and Kings. Just in the same way the classical scholar who visits Greece is surprised that so small a territory sufhced for so many striking incidents and for the careers of so many ~famous men,
 Palestine is a country poor in nat ural resources. There are practically no minerals, no coal no iron, no coz per, no silver. though recently some oil wells have been discovered in the Jordan valley. Neither are there any large forests, and though the land may have been better wooded in the days of Joshua than it Is now, there is Gt- tie reason to think that the woods were of trees sufficiently large to con- stitute a source of wealth. A. com paratively small area is fit for tizage.
 ITO an Arab tribe that had wan dered through a barren wilderness for 40 weary years, Canaan may well have seemed delightful possession; but many a county in Iowa, many de- pertinent in France, could raise more grain or wine than all the Holy Land.
 There is one stretch of fertile. level land 20 miles long and from three to six miles wide-the Plain of Esdra elon. But with this exception it is only in the bottoms and on the lower slopes of few valleys, chiefly in the territory of Ephraim from Bethel northward and along the shore of the Bay -ot Acre, that one sees corn fields and olive yards and orchards. Little wine is now grown.

ARGENTINA AGAIN HURT.

There is nothing surprising about the attitude taken by the press of Ar gentina in considering the extension of the barred zones to include the trade routes between South America and Europe as an unfriendly act toward that country. It may not be possible to interpret 1t solely as a move against Argentina for it of course affects the trade routes to South America and the Orient to large extent, but it never theless is a direct slap at the South : ----sKk-<z- -s6E- -hsk.
