HOW WE MAKE WAR

The United States is making war in defense of high ideals, but our idealism does not prevent our mak- ing war in a matter If fact and business-like way.
 Take, for example, the port in France which has been turned over to us for use as 8 point of debark- ation. A year ago it was only tenth rate importance. Today 1t is one of the finest ports in Europe. The harpor basin has now, capa- city 50. times as great as 1t was last summer, The perthing ca Dacity for ships. has been trebleed and the unloading capacity hal has been multiplied Oy 10. American engineers are just now putting fin ishing touches. to a railway yard which contains 225 miles of track and S70 switches. c.5-.,...- ,--..
 Achievements of this kind, if they were known to the German people, would soon cure them of their silly belief that America cannot learn how to make war.

BUT WE WERE "RATIONED"
 LAST WINTERl
lNew York Times)

Resentment struggles with ap- prehension in the minds of the A merican householder as he read in the latest proclamation of the Fuel Administration the announce ment that such coal as he gets next winter he will have to take under a system of "rationing." And both the resentment and the ap- prehension are increased by the further warning that if he fails to use with shllful economy the dole allotted to him he will be subjected to assorted puRishmens, not the least of which will ta that of going without coal altogether.
 From the Fuel Administrators declaration there Is one paragraph lacking - a paragraph humbly admitting that the task assumed by it. or imposed on it, was too large for it's accomplishment. Doubtless the Administrator and his subordin- ates have done their best; doubt less their intentions were of the best, and doubtless they have many and good excuses for failure. But it is not indubitaDle that failed they have, or that in what they have failed none could have succeeded. The coal Is in the mines, and that, with all summer in which to do the work, 1t could not have been taken out and distributed is unbelievable. For We have seen other like fail ures Of production remedied by a simple expedient-one that would be ansracious to mention, but it will occur instantly to every ob- server Of current events.
 The American public is not an un reasonable one; sacrifice necessary for winning the war it makes with out a murmur, and it is as ready to go cold as it is to endure any other suffering r inconvenience

 The great showing which MoCoole had made in his three fights had make his friends jubilant over his ability and they announced that they would back him to the limit against "any man in the world" :" They hurled challenges broadcast in Mc- Cooles behalf, but McCoole was unable to secure match until 1868 when Joe Co., burn agreed to meet him in the battle , for the championship and 5000 side bet. There was tremendous interest in this match because McCoole was looked upon as the champion of the west while Coburn was the recognized king of eastern pugi- lists. A sectional antagonism and parti- sanship sprang up and many thousands of dollars were wagered on the outcome of the fistic clash.
 1 Harry Hill of New York, a conspicuous | figure in the fight game of those days, | took McCoole in charge when the lat ter arrived in New York for training. | He wanted McCoole schooled as thor oughly as possible in scientific boxing.

HARDING APPEARS BEFORE COMMITTEE
 0N RESERVE ACT
Urges Immediate Legisla- ton to Increase Banks Surplus to 100 Per Cent
 of Paid In Stock

Washington, December 10.--Ap-
 bearing before the House bank
 ing committee today in support of
 Chairman Phelan's bill to amend
 the federal reserve act, Governor
 Harding of the federal reserve
 board urged immediate legisintion
 authorizing increase of federal
 banks surplus to 100 per cent of
 their paid-in capital stock.
 Although profit is not and should not be the primary object of the federal banks operation. Governor Harding said. the banks activities have been SC remunerative that several banks, 1T the proposed legislation is authorized would have that surplus by next July l
 Governor Harding explained that ad- ditional security for the S2,500, ,000,00O of outstanding federal reserve notes, as we'll as an increase in the federal sys- tenn to compete with foreign financial concerns in future financing would be made possible by the legislation.
 The board views with some concern the large amount of outstanding fed eral reserve notes," the witness said ''but the bankers have been obliged to support the government in it's finan- cling and we now hope we can reduce the outstanding notes"
 Federal reserve banks earnings, Gov ernor Harding said, cannot be deemed as any considerable asset toward pay ing off the national debt, now about s20,000, 100000. Such earnings, he de- clared, would be mere bagatele"
 In urging legislation for the surplus increase, Governor Harding said ths federal banks capital and surplus now aggregate about $100,O00.00 while tha of the Bank of England alone is $60, 100000.
