In these summer days and IN the quiet even
ings which go with them when happy America
gives up to pleasuring and rest, across the sea
in France the million defenders of orr security
and freedom are engaged, or likely soon to be,
in strenuous, desperate exertions, and facing a
peril as deadly as human beings have ever
been called upon TO meet. Their days and
nights are filed with toll, pain, danger, death
and unremitting effort TO the limit Of their
powers With sleepless vigilance, with every
ounce of their strength, with the last drops of
their blood-if the last great sacrifice shall be
demanded of thern-they are withstanding the
most violent, determined, depraved and utterly
constituencies assault that was ever made up
on the liberties, the peace and welfare of man
kind.
All through the past our race has toiled and
struggled, blindly for the most part, towards
the fuller freedom, the better things, it dimly
glimpsed. Time and again the greed and lust
of power of kings and conquerers have sought
to rivet letters on mankind. The conflict

THE principal business of the day

faint impression that honey is one OF
the best substitutes for sugar 1t is
up to the bee man TO convince the
people of the fact. The stage is all
set for him.
About 250,0oc.1oo pounds of honey
are made in America every year.
There ought to be work for twentv
times as many bees. There would be
if the bee men would get busy and
tell folks just how honey can be used

But all such talk may be set down TO envy

and is making plans to mobilize the majority
of them at an early date. OF the one hundred

try, ninety five THOUSAND are believed to be in
/ active practice. About one-fourth of them
twenty three thousand-are already in the
army or navy, and it is estimated that no less
than fifty thousand will be required eventually
for the army alone. The present idea is to en-
roll all doctors in a volunteer service corps
pledged to accept whatever service, military or
civilian, is signed them The alternative plan
is compulsory CONSUMPTION; but the medical
chiefs of the government believe IN trying the
enrolment first.
Were it not that doctors improve with age
at least to certain point, the civilian popula-
ton of the country would be in hard lines with
most of its capable young physicians gone A

So much has been said and is still being said
about the alleged shortage of coal that some of
our people have almost been thrown into panic
in contemplation of conditions forecast for
next winter if all that is said by the fuel ad-

to the warnings of Administrator Garfield may
be placed facts as TO production, and here they
are as contained In despatch from Washing
ton:
American coal miners established another
ord production Of bitlnnous coal during the week
ending July 13, figures made public by the fuel
