BOMBING THE HOSPITALS.

Even in this war of frghtfulness there
has been no more CHASTITY record than the
official statement that British hospitals
In France were bombed seven times be-
tween Nav Is and june l. with 34S per-
sons killed and 643 wounded.
The dead alone eqlIalled the normal
death-rate of 625 900 persons in New
York City in an equal time. But many
of those wounded were already upon
beds of pain and must succumb TO their
second ordeal OF kuitur Thirteen dead
were women; not one blenched or fled
from her post of mercy The death list
would be longer but for the devotion of
nurses and doctors in rescuing their
helpless charges.
Plainly marked, the hospitals are visible
from an immense height The possibility
of error Is barred by captured airmen
who say. ~ on must move them further
back if you do not want them bombed. i"
The purpose is plain; More wounded
men would die If they had to travel fur
ther for treatment In war of exterr
mination for Armenans, Greeks. Jews
Poles, Serbs, ROumanlans, French and
Belgian girls and workingmen why should
British nurses and their hospital charges
hope to escape?
Just one more reason, If air raids on
cities, and the Lusitania and the starving
Of conquered peoples, and unspeakable
crimes OF treachery, greed and pollution
were not enough, why the Prussians
must not prevail They shall not
trample every flower OF chivalry and
mercy in the world

PRESS COMMENT.
A REVIVAL.

That grace which makes virtues of
necessities again comes into play IN
Americas corn bread revival. In
creasing volumes of wheat are needed IN
Europe Increasing qualities of corn
ought To be consumed In the United
States in order to conserve the more
popular grain.
Corn is one of the most thoroughly
American food products. which tho
south appreciates far better than the
north Az the Houston Post remarks.
"even before cooking stoves and ranges
had been introduced there were back
'mammies who could. with the big fire
place, pothooks, skillet, pan. spider
and pots produce feast such rs the most
gifted chef of this time would he proud
TO be able To duplicate" And practically
all, rs the Atlanta Constitution adds, from
corn.
Many naive suggestions III the direction
of utilizing as war tune measure foods
heretofore generally ignored have been
made But here Is n revival, rather than
a new proposal. American households
are asked to return to one of the favorite
foods of the fathers. onc of the corner
stones of frontier life was corn bread
Few will find any element of seli-dcnial
In returning to corn Here ~ where
patriotism and pleasure coincide. Cleve-

MUST ECONOMiZE IN COAL.

Dr Garfield is 10 be commended for

the facts about tho coal outlook can be
understood by everybody On the basis
of present production and consumption
We shall nerd this wear 81 600 600 tons
more coal than was produced last year.
The only way TO get Il IS, apparently, to
save il Consumption must he curtaIled
as much as possible, and curtailmont
must begin now Dr Garfield holds out
little hope Of securing an increased output
from the mines, which are already work
ing al full capacity and at the same time
facing great difficulties in obtaining
labor War industries must be kept going
AZ a maximum, and the irreducible
minimum Of domestic requirements must
be met
7 he necessary saving. accordingly.
Will have to come mainly in the large
class Of non-essential industries, which
must anticipate drastic restriction of
coal supply for the sake OF the common
good, and from the extension OF such fuel
saving devices as promise real economy.
The Fuel Administration still hopes,
apparently. to effect good share of the
necessary saving through voluntary agree

Fierce Fighting in France.

Reports of lighting on the western war
front in France and Flanders show that a
aanguinary conflict is still in progress
The Germans are making desperate efforts
TO break through and advance upon
Paris, but the resistance Is equally des-
perate, especially on the part Of the
French forces.
The reports are conflicting Berlin
claims substantial gains, not only in
progress, but in the capture of prisoners
while admitting slow German progress in
the centre, make ii clear that the slight
gains are obtained at a tremendous
sacrifice Of life, and that the wings arc
not only holding, but driving the Germans
back
What may eventuate from such a situa-
ton it is difficult to estimate. 1t is evident,
however, that the Germans are ma king a
desperate venture, probably the last they
will be able TO enter upon. 1t is hoped,
therefore, they will be not only checked,
but defeated and driven back
An Allied drive in the direction of Berlin
would be glorious turn for the war. 1t is
not yet IN sight, but it is sure TO come in
time, when the forces of our country are
strongly arrayed against the enemy. May
the day come soon, 50 that the war may
end in a glorious triumph for the Allies,
before the close Of this year.

1t is apparent, from various comments
that have appeared in the newspapers of
Germany, that they have very irration-
al idea of what is the duty of German
American citizens of this country. Some
of them hold that it was the patriotic duty
of every citizen of the United States of
Germ on birth or extraction, after the war
in Europe started, and even after our coun-
try took open part in the struggle, to do
all he could for the Fathcrland, despite
rank treason involved thereby.
striking instance of this feeling is dis
played in an editorial recently printed
by the Local Anzeiger of Berlin. What
Germany could expect it says was
that the German Americans before the
springtimc of 1917, should have given
stronger expression to their love for
their former Fatherland and endeavored
with all earncstness To do mediatory
and propaganda work In this respect the
German Americans, with ncgligibly few
exceptions, were failures From the be-
ginning of the war their attitude was weak
and slack While the English, French and
even the Italian elements in America were
most forccfully championing the Entente
cause, the overwhelming majority of the
German Americans calmly watched the
struggle and contentcd themselves with
benevolent neutrality
But what this exponent of German
sentiment forgcts, or ignores, rs this:
These Gcrman-Americans are citizens of
the United States Their forchcars delhi
eratcly turned their back upon Germany
because they were convinced they had no
promising future there They came Ia
this country and here met with fulfill
mcnt, in many instances, OF their fondcSt
desires Here they found full opportunity,
and here they prospcrcd.
Now, while these Gcrman-American
citizens were not expected TO forget their
Fathcrland entirely, is there any reason 10
maintain that in such 3 crisis as now pre-
walls they should turn their backs upon
their adopted country, forget what II had
done for them, and assail il in undcrhand
ways for the benefit Of tho mother country
tina, had done nothing for them from
which they felt imrcllcd 10 fly because II
offered them no opportunity for advance
mcnt?
1t is a fact unfortunately. that too
many Of our citizens 81 German birth or
have displayed such an molina
ton But We believe the great majority
Of them arc different They cannot help
being loyal to the country which afforded
them such an opportunity 10 engage in
prosperous occupation, to educate their
and to achieve positions in tho
social world that would have been barred
to them entirely had they remained in
the old country Germany gave them
nothing, offered them nothing This coun-
try gave them all they have today Why
should they prove traitors
