His Grace recently, rs not to be
doubted II the spiritual purpose of
the peoples shall be aroused to the
needed pitch" That II would be, he
had no question; and such addresses
as he has been making in this coun-
try are precisely what is NEEDED to
insure that result
The qualification which all the al
lied countries. but especially Britain.
, feel by reason Of Americas adhesion
to their cause. is nobly stated by
His Grace. He Is convinced that
this war Is the great trial which will
bring the publication of present civ
iIiZation. A new world must. in his
view, emerge from the struggle: q
world OF real equality in opportunity
among men: and It IL his hne ambi-
ton that the English-speaking peo-
pies shall lead in guaranteeing that
result. Like every other Briton who
possesses the larger vision, he be-
lieves unquestioningly that Americas
entrance into the war was the final
insurance of complete victory and Of
the conservation of the full, rich
fruits Of that victory.

matter which calls for eonsiderate attention is that to which the presi- dent refers when he calls for the ear ly adoption of legislative policy for the development of the enormous wa terpower resources of this country. While we are endeavering to, make the best use of other facilities and doing out utmost to overcome waste, it should be realized that there is no greater opportunity before congress than that offered to establish a policy to deal with this question promptly and effectively.
 On previous occasions efforts have been made to enact law which will encourage such development. Such attempts have met with failure and today the streams which are capable of furnishing anywhere from 8 ,0eo, . 900 to 5o,eoo,0oo horsepower for indus tries, public utilities and other uses are unharnessed. The country is in need of just such power as it never was before. It cannot get this hell any too soon and it is to be hoped that congress will give more serious con- sideration to the matter than it has ever done before. The situation is much the same as if we knew that there were great resources of cea which could be utilized but wf1ici were untapped and yet no effort was made to make them available for the needs of the nation. Even after con. gross establishes @ definite policy iT regard to the great waterpower privi. leses it will be some time before cleo. tricat energy is developed there. bu It is nevertheless time to make star and if it was necessary to wait for the presidents advocacy that has now aeen supplied.

Conditions which help to make a per son consumptive are living in small, closed quarters in tenement houses, BOOT noAFishnent, working in factor ies which are unsa anitary, and theopen faced coughing, sneezing and expec- .torating.

 all are supplied with plenty of good
 nourishfng food, rest and fresh air
 which are essential for the cure of

 ed nurses look after the patients vel

 ! Mir. Editor: At the present time many of your news columns are devoted to the great war in Europe with it's aw- full toll of slain and, wounded. This little article is also war news, but of 8 vastly different character.
 I wish to bring before your dear readers that the great white plague, tuberculosis, has it's. large lists Of deaths going on from year to year, whereas, the wholesale murder in the great fight for democracy will be won some day and militarism will be put aside forever This country needs men who are in perfect health to send abroad to help fight this democratic l war and hundreds of young men upon examination have been rejected, ap- i pafefftly in good health, with tuber- ealesis. How many more men could 1 be put in the trenches and battlefelds If this terrible disease was not sap ping the life out of the nation Oul fathers and mothers must wake uL

TIME TO SAVE, NOT WASTE.


 Like other parts of the country New York is suffering from a lack of coal It isn't very far from the coal field yet it has not been and is not now re- ceiving all the fuel that it requires even under an economical use thereof Different methods have been employed in order to tide over the situation, int rIuding the ordering of a curtailment of display lights six nights in the week, leaving one night when as much roal as is desired can be burned for the purpose of making the great white way blaze forth in all it's dazzling brightness. This may mean that but one seventh of the usual amount of fuel is being employed for such a pur- pose but it is quite evident that a waste is taking place which is not even justified under the existing state of affairs
 Whether New York saves 30 or moro tons of coal a night by the Iishtlesg order there is no good reason why when pcor families are without coal nr heat. when it cannot get sufficient coal to supply the necessary require ments and when it is seizing barge loads of coal which are destined ta New England points, thero shouid not be shutting dff of the unnecessary lighting every night in the week. Il is unjust that New York or any Alty for that matter should be permitted te continue to waste fuel when others art actually suffering from the Jack Of it and it would seem to be high time fo, the authorities to come to recorni. ion of this injustice. To think of coa being used in the metropolis te opAr. ate display signs when industries ir New England engaged on war oeGer are forced to curtail operations ant homes are without coal is decidedl, wrong.

THE LOSS OF THE LUcKENsAcH.

In connection with the news of the sinking of another American steam ship, the Harry Luckenbach, from which eight of the crew are missing no details are given as to the circum- stances or where the torpedoing took place. The vessel was by no means a new cne. having been built in 1881, but it was nevertheless serviceable and represents a tonnage loss just as much as if it had been built last year That it was not speedy vessel is con- cfusively shown by the announcement that it made but ten knots an hour and right thers is one of the greatest causes for surprise in connection with it's loss.
 Slow vessels are always the easiest prey of the underwater boats. It is possible for the sdbmersible to ma- noeuver about them so as to make sure of getting their victim where they want it in order to send home the tor nedo land they usually succeed. That

 the Luckenbach was a member of a convoy gave it some protection but the fact that it was a slow vessel like wise increased the risk that 1t was running. Sailing vessels have been warned to keep out of the danger zone because of a lack of speed and yet some of them might under proper con- ditions do as well as the Luckenbach did, and while that vessel was running a greater risk to itself because of it's speed it was likewise endangering the other vessels in the convoy, except that they were all of the same class. This vessel was the fourth of the same line to be sunk and there seems to be req : son for the belief that their loss was largely attributable to the fact that they were too slow for such work.

DRAFT LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.

Nothing but what was expected was contained in the decision of the Unit cd States supreme court when it upheld the constitutionality of the draft law. The court of last resort was asked to hear and decide upon this matter as early as possible and it has done SC. It was never seriously believed that the result would be oth- erwisc than what it is. Those who attacked the laws constitutionality did so for the purpose of embarrassing the government and lodging if possible the rendition of service te their country which others of their age and physical condition were called upon to perform and are now rendering. When there 'is q disposition to oppose a Jaw there , is always a rush to attack it's con stitutionaiity, but thare was far less chance of success in this case than
 in many others where such action has aeefi instituted The earfy decision od

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why Not Use Sanp or Hominy?

Mr. Editor: How many in the North know that what is termend here as sarnp is known to us as horniny. What bake beans is to tke Northerbers, boIniny is to the Southerners. It is used both by the rich and poor alike, especially during the fall and winter months. It is served with turkey, chicken. pork, buckWheat cakes and sausage. It seldom is served with milk, as the latter destroys much of the hominy taste. Hominy is in a more perfect condition there, owing, think, to the greater demand than there is here, but that only calls for a more careful picking over, which takes but little time. 1t is both cheap and wholesome
