THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO DIS
 TRIBUTE VAPORUB QUICKLY.

Most of this tremendous quantity is still enroute to the jobbers, but freight and express are both congest- ed nowadays, and it may be some time before this supply reaches the jobbers. In the meantime, therefore, it is necessary that we distribute, as widely as possible, the stock that we are manufacturing daily, together with that now on the jobbers' and retailers shelves, in order that 1t may get to the Influenza districts quickly. Our normal output is about 4,000 dozen per day. We are putting on a night shift, but it will be a little while before that is producing. WHAT'S WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
 DRUGGIST TO DO
 Last Saturday we notified all of our jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol- lows:
 1st-Deals and quantity shipments of
 kinds are cancelled. Fill no
 quantity orders of any kind,
 whether taken by our salesmen
 or by your own. Sell in small
 lots only.

LOS ANGELES II SEND SH|PLOAD
 OFFOOD ABROAD

LOS ANGELES, May 21.-Southern California will contribute an entire shipload of supplies of various kinds for the stricken sections of France. One of the great new steel freighters recently launched by the United States shipping board will carry the cargo, and Chairman Hurley of the board has given his sanction to the undertaking. The plan originated with the Chamber of Commerce here
 When the great vessel was launched it was christened with name cho- sen by the constructing company; now it is planned, with the consent of the builders, to rechristen the ves- sel Los Angeles" so that a vessel bearing the name of the city shall sail it's maiden voyage, an errand of mercy, laden with the products of the country about Los Angeles.
 Every community in Southern Cali fornia will be invited to contribute to the cargo, according to the local sponsors of the move. When L. N. Brunswig, who made the arrange ments with the shipping board, re- turned home, he signalized his sue cess by donating $1,000 to the cargo fund; Harry Chandler of the Los An geles Times and Oscar c. Mueller made like pledges, and with these sums as nucleus the committee in charge was confident that it soon could have an adequate cargo in read l mess.
 This will be the second relief ship to be loaded by Californians, the Cam inc having sailed with full cargo of relief supplies for Belgium in 1914.

THE TIMES AND POLITICAL CRITICISM

AH6 AHMEO avn Viii IN'II- NiNAiNIOH'
DOLTTICS, Of the Democratic stamp seems to be the
only thing that really interests The Times There
have been mornings recently when politics appeared to
be The only excuse for its appearance. Yet The Times
knows less about the history, the purpose and the ethics
Of our politics than any newspaper that comes to mind
right now.
This combination has created a condition which is gons
10 cause acute suffering IN The Times office between TIN
and election day. In the philosophy Of The Times any
criticism OF any Democrat Office an unwananled at
aek made against in authority OF an attempt to un-
5emine public confidence in the President" The alb
uTdy Of such theory must be apparent to any one who
loes not share the obeesson of The Times 1t is perfectly
proper to crtcise men Authority and 10 comment upon
oil Of their acts. There has been great deal Of criticism
IN he past and there is going to be great deal more IN
he fuuTe-hence the suffering in The Times office whic
we mentioned.
The men in authority ma, ,marl under the criticism
but they at least do not attempi IL stop It, his becau
they realize that It Is Necessary part OF our scheme
politics II IS only people and newspapers of limited poli
zeal horizons and deep sci partisan perjudces who do
And they do simply because they care less for the IN
teTeSs Of the country whole than FOR those OF then
party. Without reasoning oul 10 any e6nte point they
hope 10 take advantage OF the situate. bring about
condition which will protect their par ganst all crli-
cim.
Well. It can: be done. There will continue 10 be crit

little more Of it during the campaign which is now on thai

The thoroughness with which do the pressn, job will
be the measure Of how far it will be safe to go toward

BEWARE THIS PROPAGANDA!

is suspicion of German propaganda IN articles OF that
sort, and the man who reads them should dismiss them
from his mind Newspapers should be chay Of giving
space to such articles. If the nsdious German propa-
gandss could create ealousss among the Allies by this
sort Of talk they would achieve their purpose, for these
jealousic, might speedily disrupt the coordination among

W HEN the United States gets an army Of 5000, 900
w men in France, which the Senate was told yes,.r-
day will be by the end Of June next year, we will have
approximately many men there as Great Britain now
has and will be one Of the great military powers OF
ne world By that time we also will be one Of the great
naval powers both in the matter Of naval strength and in
he siIe OF our merchant marine We will be in the posi-
ION Emperor William coveted and no matter of import
lnee can be undertaken anywhere in the world without
akihs Us into consideration.
That will represent wonderful transformation for
nation which grew great in numbers and in material wealth
under the benevolent policy that we are as it were, peo-
pie Set apart who had no desire to interfere in the politics
and The economic affairs Of the rest Of the world and
will create crisis in affairs which we ought to be
pTspains for right now
Without doubt prePOnderating majority Of the more
houghtiu element want to return to our position Of
