WAR AND RESOURCES.

The natural resources of the Urited
States are abundant and are greatly in
excess Of the total material resources
OF Great Britain, France and Italy.
The full development of these re-
sources would give the United States
great power as a factor in the world
struggle. American ingenuity and
American industry should have a free
hand in order successfully TO play its
part in adapting these resources TO the
needs of war. Cooperation by the
government in the fields Of research
,and analysis, constructive legislative
and regulative policies ana the lnstltu-
ton Of intelligent and helpful methods
in our consular and diplomatic service
would contribute vastly TO our national
efficiency and prosperity, After the
war will come the more serious period
Of adjustment, and on the way in
which our financial and Industrial lead
ers handle this problem will depend
the successful liquidation of our pres
ent credit extensions, says The Pro-
tectionist. The position of the coun-
try, however, should be materially inn
proved at the close of the war. We
have become creditor nation and will
continue to be. At the outbreak of
the war we were debtors TO the extent
of S5,O00,000,000 or $6,000,000000.
Since then we have received over
81 ,000000,000 Of gold from abroad.
We have bought abroad probably ST.
500,000000 of our securities and we
have loaned through private channels
approximately $2,OOO,OO00O0 to foreign
countries, and in addition our own gov
eminent has given credits in the way
of advances to the allies of approx
mately $6,OO0,OOOO0O.

Every backward step of the enemy was guarded by the automatic guns. Get back the artillery and the bulk of the infantry was the order repeal ed in the German army as the French and Americans prodded them. In almost every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun units and because of the clever manner in which the nests" were placed they were able to hold their own long enough to enable the main armies behind them to fall back.
 They were not always placed in lines but left here and there just over the brow of a hill or in the deep woods, on the ground and in the trees and almost always skillfully camol- daged. But always their disposition was coordinate. In the end it was up to every machine gun crew to fight it's own way out or to resist to the last, until swept away by the allies artillery or over by their tanks or in- fantry, but they were so placed tht until that time came their fire was S directed that it swept very effectually the advancing lines. The Germans have lost thousands of their machine guns 5y such tactics 5ut they have saved approximately in men.
 It is this evident intention to save manpower, so different from their at- titude earlier in the war, that has gone far towards convincing many that their big military machine is cracking and that they will not be

LINENS FOR RED CROSS ARE SLOW
 IN COMING IN

Although large returns of linens are expected from the various auxiliaries which are meeting all this week, still it has been requested that every homo donate at least one piece. This will make Bridgeport's quota safe.
 The campaign which started at the beginning of this week has not met with as great enthusiasm as had been expected. This is an urgent appeal from the Red Cross commissioner in France who stated through cable gram that 1,250,Oo0 bath towels, 2,5O0, 900 hand towels, 1,750,0 hand kerchiefs and as many napkins are needed by the soldiers in the hos pitals.
 These linens cannot be obtained lover there" They must be supplied here. To purchase these articles Is impossible as it would exhaust the market supply and result in conflict ing prices. It therefore rests with the public to help out in this urgent need and give as much as possible.
 Linens donated may be left at the linen departments in the D. M. Read company and the Rowland Dry Goods company or at any of the Red Cross auxiliaries.

 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

 with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Granddaughter kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or eakedkappearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bot tie of this oldtime recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture canoe depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the
 gray hair disappears; after another aplication or two. it is restored to its | natural color and looks glossy, soft
