The production Of zeal in this
country is fundamentally a ,ra15.
portation problem. There are enough
locomotives to transport thA neccs-
sary quantity Of coal, only if every
car and every locomotive is used to
its maximum capacity every day in
the year. There are enough opera
tives in the mine to get the coal from
the ground, if those operatives can
work every day in the year, and #
the coal cars and locomotives are
available every day If the coal cars
are idle for a week Or a month the
result is a loss of a weeks or d
months possible coal production.
There is no way to make up this loss.
The country needs the greatest utili-
tization Of the coal carrying facili
ties every week and month It has 10
surplus cars and no surplus lOcom1-
tiyes to carry more coal in a succeed
ing week or in a succeeding month,
TO make up for the failure to use the
existing cars and locomotives in =

anxiety or unrest subtracts from
American efficiency.
Every loyal citizen of the United
States should be assured of one
truth his government will advise the
public freely Of every circumstance
in connection with war activities
that directly affects said public. We
do not have to depend on rumOr for
information, because the Bureau Of
information is in existence for the
purpose of supplying the people with
the truth in every instance.
Just a few instances Of needless
worry over maliciously false reports
might be cited Recently the report
was spread that ground glass had
been found in the food of soldiers in
some OF the camps. The report was
at once investigated by the authori-
ties and found TO be absolutely false
and without the shadow Of founda-
ton a malicious lie, deliberately cir,
culated for the purpose of sowing
alarm and discomfort When the
falseness of the report was proven,
the government treasured the public.
and we have heard no more of the
matter.
Then the report gained currency
that some Of the camps were located
in VIGOROUSLY unhealthful localities,
and that epidemics of measles, men
nights and other dieases were rag
ing These, too, were given the lie
by the government, and it was plain
~ shown that not in any camp had
the death rates been above the nor
NAL fer the country, and in most in
stances was in fact far below nor
nal, demonstrating the health eff
cheney of the entire army canton
ments.
America can win the war; she will
win the war But she can subtract
from her efficiency and unnecessary
~ prolong the conflict if she suffers
herself to become alarmed over every
idle report or malicious lie that is

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.--Capture OF
Maubeuge by the British Gen. March
said today, marks the definite sever
ance of the last German artery to that
sector of the west front, and will make
1t impossible for the enemy TO shift
his forces to meet new attack.
Summarizing the allied successes
since the Inauguration of the forward
movement, Gen. March pointed out that
the Germans have been driven Ga miles
farther from Paris and the territory
they occupy in France has been re-

The American First army, under Gen.

last eight days.
American divisions operating with
the British in Flanders were identified
as the 37th (Ohio) under Maj j.-Gen. C..
