The very substance of the ambitious is
merely the shadow of dream.-Sh Shakespeare.
AS USUAL, TOO LATE.

For several months the newspapers OF the
country have been urging the use of wood, corn
cobs, peat, or any other substitute for coal, as
a means of conserving coal. On July %, Fuel
Administrator Garfield suggested" to state
fuel administrators that in states where plenti-
full supply of wood is available the distribution
of coal for domestic purposes outside OF cities
or incorporated towns be prohibited. Just as
country people are at their busiest harvest sea-
son, Garfield wakes up to the opportunity for
use of wood. 1t is too late for them to do much
wood cutting now. Moreover, his suggestion
relates only to the use of wood in the country,
where wood is already the most common and
almost exclusive form of fuel, if available. The
real need is for the use of wood in the city,
wherever practicable, in order to relieve to
some extent, the demand for coal. The Gar
field suggestion comes too late, and it is not
broad enough to do any good even if made in
time

A NEW BooKMAN.

When The Bookman (London) was estab-
lished several years ago it was recognized as a
feature in international literary life that had
long been desired At that time there was IN
this country no periodical to compare with the
overseas publication, that most dependable OF
journals, The Critic, then being about to draw
a last breath after career that had been
credit to it's editors and an acknowledgement OF
readers dependence upon a vehicle mirroring
the best thought of the day in relation to htera-
ture and cognate subjects. Following the IN
stitution of the English Bookman there came
into being the American Bookman, which has
for a score or more Of years been published In
New York by Dodd Mead & Co. Its success as
a financial venture has been predetermined; but
in other respects it met the expectations OF
those who looked for the best. Now this Book
man is to be taken over by the house of George
H Doran Co., New York publishers, who Will,
they promise, do what they can through the
to help cultivate and foster the art
of reading TO minister to the mind OF the
reader by directing attention to the best IN cur
rent literature. Whatever Of success attends
will be well worth any effort expended.

AMERICANS NOT ALL OF 1T.

Davenport Times: When the re-
ports that have been printed in sons
newspapers in the United States find
their way back to the American sol
diers in France, it is to be feared
many of the boys will have embar.
RAISING moments. especially if there
are any Frenchmen around when the
boys from the United States unfold
their newspapers.
This is because the headlines Gre
ated the impression that the Yankees
were doing it all in the Scissors
Rheims sector, when, as a matter Of
record, fully 70 per cent. of the fight
ing was done by the French. The
more detailed reports that come in
show that this is the case.
And the Americans did not do the
other 80 per cent. of the fighting.
This 80 per cent. has to be divided
between the Americans, the British
and the Italians, who were all en-
gagged on that front
1t SO happens that more attention
was given in the press reports to
America concerning the activities OF
the American troops in that fight,
first, because it was the first impor-
tant battle in which Americans were
engaged and, second, because the
Americans occupied position at the
apex nearest to Paris where the first
counter attack against the Germans
was made and where the fighting
was intense for the possession of
Chateau Thierry, which was pivotal.
In calling attention to the relative
numbers of Americans and French
engaged in this operation from the
Marine northward there is no desire
on the part of anyone to belittle in
the least the splendid work the
American soldiers did and are doing,
but in fairness to the allies it must
be kept in mind constantly that
neither the French nor the British,
on the western front are letting
down in their enthusiasm or fighting;
merely because the Americans are
beginning to arrive in numbers.
do you think that the other allies
will now let the Americans do all the
fighting?" is question that men
connected with newspapers some
times are asked. 1t should be def
nitely understood that nothing of the
kind will happen. The French and
British are just as keen to have a
hand in whipping the German now
as they were at the beginning of the
war.
The facts are that the allies are
glad to see the Americans coming
and give them a most cordial well
come as brothers in arms, but not
as substitutes. They know that the
combined power of all the allied
armies will be needed to carry the
war forward into German territory
as 1t will be carried in order to make
the German people understand that
military power that is resorted to
just as the robber resorts to gun play
is doomed to disastrous defeat. The
police power of the world, represent
ed by the allied armies, must arrest
and punish Germany for robbery,
arson, murder and other crimes, just
as a city or state arrests and pun
ishes the average criminal.
All the allies want to have and
will have part in this business.

FORD SHOULD ANSWER.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Colonel
Harvey in his North American Week
ly has made new charges against
Ford, charges that can hardly be
neglected, they are SO serious and
they involve even the president In
short Harvey charges that Ford has
aided and abetted that DR.. Rumely,
who bought the New York Mail on
account of the German propaganda
and operated it for the ends of that
organization. Rumely is now under
indictment for concealing alien prop
erty, which makes him a traitor to
his country in the second instance.
Colonel Harvey charges that when
Rumely saw the net tightening
around him he rushed to Detroit to
enlist the services of his long time
friend and adviser Mr. Ford. 1t is
charged that Ford interceded for him,
going even to the white house for
that purpose and the question is
raised what the magic Of that power
was. 1t is limited that whatever the
government agreed to do for Rumely
that Ford came out as candidate
for the United States senate at the
request of the president" whom he
could not disobey.
What Colonel Harvey knows we do
not know. But If he has not the facts
back of him he has placed himself
in what we would call serious pre-
dicament. He has accused Mr.. Ford
of aiding" and "abetting" a man
who has stood in the relation of a
traitor to his own country. We should
call that a serious ton, as seri.
GUS as can be made against a man,
short of calling him a traitor And
Colonel Harvey has involved even
the president at least by inuendo
Some one will have to make good his
charges-unless some other man for
gets that he has both a good name
and national honor to defend. We
should guess that Colonel Harvey will
have a big libel suit on his hands for
Mr.. Ford cannot remain quiet under
such circumstances however much of
a pacifist he may be.

CAPITALiZING HERoISM.

Marsnalltown Times-Republican
Guy Empey, also author of several
books on the war which have had a
great sale and brought fame and
financial reward to the author, has
been 'let out" of the army. 1t is
suggested that Mr.. Empey made a
good story better. Just why Empey
was dropped is not in evidence but
that suspicion has been voiced. There
is a suspicion that with books and
movies and lectures and the like. Mr..
Empey was capitalizing his heroism
and that he never failed to make his
story good and himself better. His
moving picture stunts rather disgust

'In the readjutments that are about

one single legitimate or honest ar
arrangement is going to be disturbed;
but every impeachment to business is
going to be removed, every illegiti-

All that we are going to ask the

Zone of the distressing circum-

tell you how many men OF business,
how many important men of busi-

opinions about the situation in the
United States to me privately and
confidentially. They are afraid Of
somebody. They are afraid to make
their real opinions known publicly;
they tell them to me behind their
hand. That is very distressing. That
means that we are not masters or
our own opinions, except when we
vote, and even then we are careful
to vote very privately indeed.
at is alarming that this should be
the case. Why should any man in
free America be afraid of any other
man? Or why should any man fear
competition. competition either with
his fellow-countrymen or with any
body else on earth?
at may be that certain things will
happen, for monopoly in this country
