near at hand. Within another thirty
days, It was learned to-day, virtually
all of its branches will have been
transferred to permanent departments
OF the Government or passed out Of ex-
istence. A small force, representing
the amalgamation Of some Of the divi-
sions and sections. viii be retained for
a few months to close up the affairs Of
the department and bring its work to
an end.
The necessity for the department
continuing has been largely ooviRtsd
through the heavy production Of BIZ
luminous coal during the summer and
the warm weather Of the autumn.
The removal OF the fixed prices on
bituminous coal, which were set by the
President with the creation Of the de-
partment on the recommendation OF
the Federal Trade Commission, ana on
the zone limitations on distribution
probably will take place in two or
| three weeks.
Or. Harry a. GARFIELD, who has
served as Fuel Administrator, will re-
turn to his duties as president Of WILL
Jams College. For some time he has
been anxious TO go back to his work
there and feels now that he can DO so
in n short time without abandoning
the interests Of the public In 90 doing
Preliminary steps to closing UP the
work OF the Administration were taken
to-day in the transfer OF the statisti-
cal division Of the Geological 5urvey.
The conservation division, which until
four or i've weeks ago was under the
direction OF P. 3. Noyes, was trans
ferred to the Bureau Of Mines. Both
| OF these bureaus are connected with
the Department OF the Interior. The
Bureau OF Mines also Is taking over
the engineering programme Of the
Fuel Administration. which has TO do
chiefly with the development OF elcc.
trical power at the coal mines.
The Fuel Administration was organ.
ICED sixteen months ago after 5ecre-
tary Baker, in his capacity as presi-
dent OF the Council OF National De
fence, had repudiated the maximum
price arrangement which Secretary Of
the Interior Lane had entered into
with the coal producers. The Lane
plan later was adopted in It's funda-
mentals by the War Industries Board.
DR.. Garfield before he was named
Fuel Administrator by the President
was associated with the Food Admin
istration and directed the work Of
liking the first wheat price.

was said:

kings Of England Of whom il
was said:
"His life was gentle, and the
elements so mixed in him
That nature might stand up
and say to all the world
This was a man."
It is for such an eulogy we
all yearn, unconscidusly. if not
consciously, and those who
would lay restraining hands
upon us as we aspire are our
mortal and immortal enemies.
There is a practical side to
every question, however great
and spiritual. that question may
be. The warfare on behalf of
your better self, for your high
er interest, and that of your
children, is being waged by
brave men who have the pro-
foundest claims upon your SYM
pathy and assistance. It seems
a pitifully small and totally in
adequate thing that you can do,
but yet if that is !. aldo 1t,
and do it to the limit Of your
ability. Place on record your
purchase of Liberty Bond
when the Government calls up
on you in the very near future.

A. II. {. Circular Lettcr.1
The War Council of the American
Red Cross, of Washington. has just re-
ceived the following cable from Maj.
James H. Perkins, Red Cross Commits
sioner to France:
At the request of the United States
Army, the Red Cross has just arranged
now engaged in actually fighting Ger
mans special front-line service. This
is development Of frOnt-line cinteens
through which the Red Cross has dur
ing the past six months served more
than one million loilus with hot drinks
in or near the trenches. To-day the
Red Cross has fifteen rolling canteens
behind the lines. From these canteenS
are sent forward daily. often in tile
small hours of the night. fifty or more
large 'receptacles containing hot
drinks. These are served free to men
going on or coming off duty. This
work has proved itself to be of such
value to the French that the Ameri-
can Army has asked the Red Cross to
have tile service put directly in touch
with the medical relief stations near
est the front. The work is often done
under heavy shell fire, and requires
men Of great bravery. Eugene Hale

TO The OLD WOMAN
AND THE new WOMAN

Greeting. The best kind Of
men, the men who count for
most in the world, the men
who have "done things, al
most without exception have
been inspired by women. Dante
was inspired by Beatrice
whom he saw only once. Soc
rates was inspired by a lady
of whom he saw and heard too
much. Henry VIII Of England
made history at the instigation
of number of ladies. Shelley
wrote some of his best work
under the influence of Mary
Wolstanecraft-before she be-
came his wife. But these
women never did anything.

woman of my acquaintance, nor
do / read Of one in cmtempo-
rary history, who is willing to
be a silent partner in the bus
mess of a mans life, whether
that business be running a
kingdom, writing poetry, think
ing great thoughts, or running
a business.
The influence which women
, now exert and the inspiration
which they offer to the male of
the species comes from their
leadership in human activities.
Those of us who are inter-
ested in the raising of the Lib

example rather than by any at

Woman today is claiming
equal rights with man, and
cannot expect to enjoy these
unless she is willing to take
her share of the responsibilities
which rights and privileges al
ways carry with them. The
woman who believes in the
equal civic right of the sexes
is bound to take at least as &C
tive a part in the war as do
the men. She can do no less
unless she wishes to violate
her own creed.

conditions that every decent,
