NEEDS COORDINATION

Holland denies that she has put a
special embargo on tin shipments
from her East India possessions TO the
United States. but notwithstanding
the tin supply Of this country is in very
indefinite shape. Those optimists who
have declared this war is so changing
human nature that commercial de-
lenses will be obsolete when peace rn.
turns must find little comfort in tho
exhibition of selfshnoss on the part or
certain citizens Of our greatest asso-
ciate- with respect to the tin supply.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war the British government took over
the control of iron and steel. but Tin
was left tn the hands Of the Exchange.
which was charged 10 So" that none Of
it fell into enemy hands At This time
the British government was ordering
from US vast quantities Of canned
goods for the soldicry. and our need

Our dispute with Holland over nor
vessels resulted in her cmbargoing
Dutch vessels sailing to America. so
our East Indies supply has fallen off
tremendously. while Japan, now in con-
troll OF Pacific shipping. has the Hong
kong supply under control, and she is
putting on the screws. for all the stu.
alton permits. All this goes TO show
how human nature will lake advant-

WHEN CIVIL COURTS FAIL

The failure of civil court jury to
convict the editor Of The Masses and
his associates. indicted for seditiou. in
interfering with and conspiring to de-
feat the operation OF the selective draft
act, shows that there is always an OPP
portunity to balk justice through the
civil courts. Two negative votes hung
the jury, weak American citizens with
only bowels Of compassion for the
enemy within Whatever may be said
of the Chamberlain BILL throwing such
cases in the hands of the military
courts, there is one thing sure, there
would have been no indecision there.
The verdict would either have been
guilty or not guilty. There are no
hung turies in trials by court martial
Whether the Chamberlain bill. now
under debate in the Senate. is a per
feet measure for its purpose may be
question, but that the purpose Is one
that Congress has the power and the
duty to provide for seems to US to be
beyond all question There are in this
country many persons with all the
rights OF Americans, and some without
them. who are opposing and hindering
the government in carrying on war
against a powerful enemy which has
violated its rights and threatened the
safety Of the nation. On account of
their origin and association, and in
many cases their actual sympathies.
some of these arc acting as spies for
the benefit of that enemy and to the
peril Of this country. They may not
themselves be guilty Of reasonable
acts, but they should certainly be dealt
with as special offenders and not mere

SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS

The Methodist Episcopal church has
undertaken to raise a fund OF s2O,0oo'-
900 for the support Of its retired min
listers. their widows and orphans. Inc
allotment for West Virginia is $780,
600, and for the Wheeling district the
Quota has been fixed at $4,000, or
nearly one-eighth Of the whole. The
campaign was started in this city last
week. under the direction OF Bishop
Franklin Hamilton. and will continue
four weeks. That it is one Of the most
deserving objects is obvious. The
government takes care Of its WORKOUT
defenders and it is equally incumbent
on the church to provide for its SOL
diers Of the Cross, who have kept the
faith and made the good fight" The
Protestant Episcopal church has just
recently completed similar campaign
for a fund that was oversubscribed.
Surely the Methodist people will be
equally generous In providing for their
aged and retired ministers.
The Methodist church is the second
largest communion In the United
States, and it is the most democratic
organization OF Christianity. Without
disparagement to other denominations
it might be said to be church always
burning with the fire of patriotism. and
loyalty. And it Is a distinction IL this
campaign. being coincident with that
Of the Liberty Loan, that 1t advises
subscribers to stand by the goTern
ment, buy Liberty Bonds and give
them to the ministers fund.
