Where are you going, my pretty

sir. she saved" This might be new
version of the old nursery rhyme If
the maid addressed were mufiled up in
one of the new winter coats which
now await her pleasure. In spite of
difficulties that follow in the wake of
war, manufacturers have made ready
lines of coats that make comparisons
with those of former seasons odious.
Here are two examples, among many
others that set forth the styles dis
played at the recent Style Show. They
were part of the goodly company as
sembled recently in Chicago when the
Woman's Apparel association pre-
sented the work of its members to
an admiring audience of critics and
buyers. 1t was an extensive show,
with TWO features that made 1t espe-
cially noteworthy. They were. the
wearableness of the garments shown
and the general excellence of their de-
signing and workmanship.

REGISTRATION OF WOMEN

What is it and why is it asked ? It is nationwide in it's scope and is asked as an emergency movement in these was times. Its object is to give every loyal woman an opportunity to offer her country such service as she is best fitted to render, and get it down where it will be available if needed.
 There is great need of this regis tration because so many men have been called to military service and women must more and more take their places in the industrial world.
 It does not necessarily mean that women will be called out from the home to aid the government. If she isftted for such aid and is willing to go, the registration will show it, but high form of service and pat riotism is also given by the woman who spends her time caring for her home and children, who conserves food, who cares for a sick neighbor, plants a garden or raises chickens. All labor is elevated up to the plane of patriotism in these days of stress and need.
 If housewife shuts up part of her house, she saves coal and thus con- serves fuel. If she has wheatless and meatless days it is conservation and is her bit and it l'slos.
 Arrangements VII be made for women to register Saturday. The drug stores will be prepared to wait on the ladies Saturday. Let all our visiting women from the country call at one or the other of these places and register

The safekeeping Of Small Bonds.

The Safekeeping Of Small Bonds.
Holders Of small denomination liberty
bonds are not justified in selling them
because Of tho difficulty Of keeping them
in safety. Il is true that the go bonds
cannot be registered and, therefore, are
tho same q cash, 90 that II ono Is lost
or stolen the rightful owner has no pro-
lection. But there are certainly ways
Of safeguarding them without going to
the expense Of hiring individual boxes
in safe deposit vaults, which would cost
in some cases more than the interest on
the bonds. They are no less secure than
jewelry, watches or Other articles Of
value. They can be kept in strong
boxes, which may b purchased for small
sums. They mav bs intrustsd 70 the

bled. A safe and satisfactory measure
could not have been produced in three
days by any agency. Ths task called
for time and the most thorough research
and reflection.
But the ways and means committee of
the House took neither counsel Of busi.
| ness men nor time for research. It pro-
ceeded at gallop behind closed doors.
its bill was hurriedly drawn, insult
GENTLY explained, and ra'Icaded to a
vote. Inconsistencies and inequities
were inevitable; and while some were
corrected by the Senate, others passed
even the closer scrutiny Of that body.
The President, with his hands full of
other matters, pressed for time, and
without familiarity with the subject,
signed the measure sent to him, and the
trouble began.
The trouble continues. No law was
ever so great puzzle to officials charged
with its execution. They are taking ad-
vice from the best legal and expert
sources, and yet are still in the dark
about some of the laws provisions.
Scrapping the law in the interest OF
one suitably digested is proposed; but
there would be difficulty about SO radi-
cal course. Considerable time would
be necessary, and the debate, founded
as it would be on SO frank confession
of sbortsightedness respecting the origi-
nal action, might develop considerable
acrimony.
Amendment would be better; and this
has taken form. Amendments have been
introduced, and await consideration.
They ought to be considered, and in
connection with them explanations de-
irving their Importance from the busi
ness sources consulted in their prepara-
ton.
In this, as in other matters, business
should have its day in court. IT is in
state of perturbation on many accounts.
The present is uncertain, and the future
appears even more so. And yet it is
upon business that the government is
relying. If business collapses or even
languishes revenue necessarily will fol-
low suit; and never before has the gov
ernment needed so much money for i'm
perative purposes as now.

interests and hire safe deposit boxes,
thus reducing the cost on each. Per
sonal care of the small bond that can
not be registered is as necessary as care
Of any other valuable possessions. The
buyer Of the bond must assume that risk
when subscribing. There is no greater
risk in the case Of bond than in the
buying of any other compact commod-
ity, and the chance Of loss surely does
not justify any one in selling the bond
to be relieved Of the responsibility. If
patriotism is the motive for buying the
bond in tho first place, it should suffice
to keep the bond afterward. For
every bond sold by an original pur-
chaser. especially at discount, is a
transaction in competition with the gov
eminent.

In to a Victorious End,

Secretary Lansing's statement of our
war situation in his speech at the an
nual banquet of the New York State
Bar Association Saturday night should
clear away whatever feeling of pessi-
mism may prevail in any quarter on
the score of this country's sincerity Of
intention and ability of achievement.
We are in this war to stay until vic
tory has been scored. We are doing
we'll in our task despite difficulties and
delays. We are confirmed in our con-
sciousness of righteous cause. The
mere fact that the Presidents statement
OF our war aims has been received in
Germany with seofing and contemptu-
Gus rejection does not discourage us.
Mr.. Lansing stated the case succinctly
in these terms:
"This statement of the aims of this
country in entering the war has not
been received with favor by cur Ger
man friends, and yet, unless we achieve
these aims, we have no sure foundation
Unless these aims are accepted by the
Prusslan government this war must 90
on. We are in this war as a republic
to the very end. The aims which We
seek are to be achieved, and they will
be achieved"
We are, as Mr.. Lansing says, an opti-
mistic people, but there is no reason to
believe that we are over-optimistic now
on the score of success in this contest.
We have unquestionably tremendously
difficult task. We have already accom-
plished much Of it in the reorganization
of our government, and the adoption of
new principles for the effective prosecu-
tion Of the war. When we consider the
inertia Of half century in the matter
of preparedness and the difficulties in
the way of rapid preparation for the
biggest enterprise ever undertaken by
this country the progress made has been
astonishing. 1t is, Of course, unfortunate
that We have not gone faster, but, all
things considered, our achievement has
been extraordinary. In short time the
effect Of our participation in tho war
will begin to tell. Even though it may
be a year from the date Of our entrance
into the field before the weight Of our
forces is felt by Germany, We shall have
accomplished something Of real value
toward victory.
Tho inspiration from Mr.. Lansing's
statement in New York springs from
the positive terms in which he notes that
there will be no departure from the
aims so clearly and impressively stated
by the President last week. We are
not blufing, and we will not abandon
our position in support Of principles
that cannot be compromised with safety.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,

Interest in the project of using the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal for hauling
coal from the Cumberland district to
Washington is undoubtedly keen when
1t will cause a group of members Of the
House to journey to the waterway above
the city on such cold day as yesterday.
Ths canal is not particularly impressive
IN winter, with the water drawn of, but
it stands as a token Of what can be done
In the way Of cheap and fairly rapid
transit Of the fuel supply with a proper
equipment. This big ditch, 200 miles
long, with its outfit of locks, spillwsys
and intakes, is today a valuable asset
koY the governments uses. 1t can Law
down In Washington at least a million
tons Of coal year. Given a sufficient
outfit Of barges this tonnage might be
sven increased. The canal practically
brings coal to the seaboard, for by cheap
and easy transshipment at Georgetown
eeaa can be loaded on large barges for
river and bay transport. Next season
the railroads Of this country will be
worked to <he limit to carry food, muni.
fionA troops and ordinary travel, and
SveFS I'm that can be shifted from the

md valuable gain. 1t is to be hoped
that In consequence Of tho personal in.
speetion Of the lower canal conducted
yesterday by members Of tho House
whose interest lies along the line Of
transportation the bill now pending
i. indeed, new law is required on the
Dub5ect-will be pressed to enactment
promptly so that work can start in goo6
time for the equipment Of the canal fol
next season to capacity of at least 3
million tons Of coal.

The War Probe.

The Senate committees probe of the
: war activities of the War Department
il vigorous, and should be. The object
Of the inquisition is to get at the bottom
= facts. Nothing would be gained by con-
cealment Much should be promoted
by revealment
1t was common knowledge before the
tnquisition began that some things con-
nected with our war activities were at
SKIES and sevens. Indeed, it was that
knowledge which Influenced the Senate
to act. The publ: had grown restive.
Complaints were numerous, and related
to matters of profound concern to all.
Tho only comfort connected with the
fact that We had not gotten far was the
other fact that we had gotten off on the
wrong foot
This Senate probe is with the view of
setting things right. By shifting our
foot we should be able to make all nee
essary progress. For all we know, the
way may be long. It is certain to be
very difficult. We have traced no path
comparable for difficulty with the one
that now lies before. We cannot see the
end of it. but we are apprised BY what
We can see that it is tortuous path.
As respects this whole business, one
prominent and dominant fact should be
kept in mind by both Congress and the
country. The war caught us absolutely
unprepared. We had next to nothing on
land, and much too little on the water.
Our condition, indeed, taken in connec-
tion with the size of the country, its re-
sources and its obligations, was discred-
table both to our prescience and our
pride An enemy, figuring on our hu-
aiGation and destruction, could not have
n2neuvered US into worse position.
Tho responsibility for this did not lie
with either the Army or the Navy. On
the contrary, the men trained to study
war had for years repeatedly warned of
danger. They were very certain that the
last war had not been fought, and that
the next one nshered in, if it should
touch us anywhere, would find US I'M
ready, and might throw us into panic.
Neither Congress nor the country
would be convinced. The politicians set
up their opinions against opinions from
professional sources, and the Army and
the Navy were kept on short commons.
As we all now see-nobody need he
blind to the fact-the declaration of war
found us totally unready, and imposed
on the war-making departments work
In such quantities and varieties confu-
sion was inevitable. Moreover, this war
