In connection with the symposium
that was held on Senator Gallinger's
eighty-frst birthday there was heart
felt tribute from Senator Mark Smith
of Arizona He took mp a phase of
Gallinger's public service which has
made deep impression throughout
the entire West. The Arizona senator
pointed out how Galinger had always
been n friend of the West had worked
for the admission Of territories as new
states. and had always sought to find
out what the Western people wanted
and had done everything he could to
help them Speaking for the people
of several Western states, Smith said.
"T desire to express here publicly the
thanks of the people Of the West for
the warm, broad-mnded. considerate
manner in which he has constantly
treated the struggling populations of
the West"

From the discussions that are heard
from time TO time around Wash
ington II may he assumed that n
great many people are getting tired
of the activities of German spies.
Senator Overman of North Carolina,
who has at all times been very anx-
ious 10 have severe espionage laws en-
acted. told the senate not long ago
that he at one time asserted that there
were 100000 German spies In this
country. He stated that he Is now
prepared to say. and did assert, that
there were 100000 active German
spies working against the interests OF
the United States and in the interests
of Germany. This rather startled the
United States senate, and 1t has set
quite a lot of people thinking. The
probabilities are that the activities OF
the spies will result in much more
drastic legislation In order to secure
convictions, and also TO make the pen
alties much more severe so as TO dis
courage those who are trying to be-
tray the United States government, or
at least secure the longtime impris-
onment or execution of these agents
Of Germany who are living In this free
and enlightened country.

WHEN WILL THE WAR END

Absolute knowledge l have none,
But my aunt's washerwon ans sisters

Heard of policeman on his beat
Say to laborer on the street
That he had letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese collie in Timbuctoo.
Who said the negroes in Cuba know
Of colored man in Texas town.
Who got it straight from circus clown
That man in Klondike heard the news
From a gang of South American Jews
About somebody in Barneo,
Who heard man who claimed to know
Of a swell society female fake,
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove her seventh husbands sisters

Had stated in printed piece,
That she had son who had a friend
That knows when the war is going to end.

Seek Coal Data.

The Fuel Administration at Wash.
ington desires a fair estimate of the
coal requirements of Maryland for an
nusl domestic consumption.
All the county chairmen of local fuel
committees have accordingly been ask
ed by Ferdinand A. Meyer, Federal
Fuel Administrator for Maryland, to
obtain from each dealer in his county,
a statement of the following facts re
lating to his particular business:
~ Amount of anthracite coal
handled from April LIST, 1916 to
April LIST, 1917, with amounts re-
ceiyed from each produced or sell
ing agency.
(2) Amount of same handled
from April 1st, 1917, to date, with
same data.
81 Amount of bituminous coal
covering the same periods with
same information.

submitted to Washington.

vantage according to the country re-
sponsible for all the misery of the last
few years. For one thing, no German
shipping should be restored to the
country until all the wants of Entente
lands. the United States and neutral
countries that have suffered impair
ment of their industries and commerce
through the war have been supplied
German shipping safe in home harbors
or built during the war should be COM
PEELED to serve in the reconstruction and
rehabilitation of other lands to the ex-
clusion of any German necessities. This
wholly apart from eXactions justly
made for restoration Of ruins wrought
by German invasions and punitive dam
ages that must be imposed When the
manufactures outside of the Central
Countries have been rebuilt or recon-
verted to engage in normal activities,
when the arsenal5 of France and
Britain have been transformed to yield
the old products Of peaceful industry,
when the scars of war have been re-
moved from cities, towns and country
sides, when the destroyed tonnage of
the foes of Prussian militarism and of
neutral countries has been replaced by
new. it will be time enough to admit
Germany to equality of competition in
trade. That would not be war after
the war, which could result in nothing
but fresh bitterness and more strife. 1t
would be absolutely just. If some such
arrangement is not made the rest of the
world, Including the Yictors, will indi-
rectly pay the costs OF war, costs which
Germany must not escape if her defeat
is to be Of any lasting benefit to hu

ONE WAY TO MAKE GERMANY PAY

1t is accepted in all the Entente Coun-
tries now that there can be be no econ
omic war after the end of the military
strife. The peace that is made must
contain no elements of sham. And vet
if peace we're made now and old inter-
national commercial relations were to
be resumed. with only such changes as
might be indispensable in tariffs. the
Germans would have an advantage
which must be denied them in fairness
to the rest of US. Due to their success
in carrying the war to their neiehbors
and keeping it off their own soil, Ger
many and Austria Hungary would be
capable of resuming normal industrial
activities much quicker than their adj
Yers aries could do. 1t has been calcu-
lated that Germany's chief requirement
after the war will be raw materials of
manufacture, while the prime requis-
ties of France and Belgium, for ex-
ample, will be materials with which to
reconstruct factories and habitations
for their people. Germany's merchant
feet is practically intact; those of her
adyersaries have been vastly reduced
by submarines, mines and raiders.
Hence, if by the terms of the settle
ment Germany RECEIVERS her chips of
commerce and competition is promptly
resumed, she will scour the world for
raw materials and quickly reconstitute
her industries while the other countries
are making ready to take their old
place in international trade. ANY such
result would impose monstrous in
justice on the victors. 1t would take
the sharp edge off German defeat and
leave the Teutons gloaring over profits
thay do not deserve, beside providing
advantage to them in preparation for
another attempt to dominate the world.
The war settlement must not de-
stroy the fruits of victory in the slight
est degree. Whatever else may be de-
termined upon, the new order must not
be established with any commercial ad-

TOBACCO SAVES FOOD.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2O-The
use of tobacco by our troops in the
trenches plays no small part in the
conservation of food, say Marine Corps
officials here, who estimate that from
25 to 80 per cent. of food is saved daily
in this manner.
While authorities admit the detri-
mental influence of narcotics, they as
sert that tobacco relieves the nervous
tension of soldiers who are under con-
tinual shell fire.

officer, 1.-THE French discovered that
men who smoke eat considerably less
food, and only recently the British Food
Controller issued the statement: THE

tobacco or much more food. -

LAST MAKeSHIFT EOR SHIPS.

Never did the United States start
anything with greater show of vigor
or more promise of achievement than
when it entered upon shipbuilding
program. A really Imaginative person
could see the great fleets grow from
keel-laying to launching just as he had
seen roses develop from seed-planting
to blooming on the movie screen. Ships
would beat the Dutch. Why, it was so
easy the war was virtually over, calculat-
ing that all that was needed to make the
Kaiser cry quits was to confound his
U.boat campaign by an overwhelming
tonnage of new cargo carriers. That
was months ago. but We have not be-
gun to build ships in any considerable
numbers. We have fallen down, for
reasons which are being developed
through the medium Of Congressional
inquiries. But Investigations create no
cargo space. So President WILSON has
been compelled to avail himself of the
authority vested in him to put the
entire foreign trade Of the United
States on license basis. Nothing NAV
be either imported or exported which Is
regarded as non-essential to the
winning of the war. Are there
bottoms enough in which to transport
all the essentials? That is a question
Of real moment. But the most import
ant thing Is to get busy with shlpbuild-
ing. We have exhausted the possible
makeshifts for needed vessels.

SACRIFICE NOW MEANS SAFETY

Constant reminders from food ad.
illustrators that the people must be
more careful in conservation of edible
stocks apparently are not having the
desired effect. Food consumption in
the United States is increasing, Her
bert c. Hoover reports. In the last IL
months the increase was oyer 10 per
cent. wherefore the food administrator
notifies Congress he must be granted
greater powers of control over supplies.
His statement ought to stimulate re-

lY, have given little thought to the
actualities of the situation. Not all of
them, Of course, take the view that $50

great many are proceeding on that
selfish plan cannot be doubted. 1t is
time for them to consider where If will
lead. Only little thought brings one
to the conclusion that satisfaction of
appetite now inevitably will make for
disappointments, if not actual hard
ships, later on. The safe course. then.
is to be content with a larger proper
tion Of the things we have in abundance
which you may be less inclined to eat
than of the articles which must be
husbanded as a war measure.
If we insist on eating all we wish of
the meats and grains the government
is trying to save, we assuredly will draw
upon our food capital That will bring
disaster. What is consumed in any year
must be confined to production over and
above the amount which must be set
aside for reproduction next year. Out

enough grain must be stored to seed

If we impair that capital, we are sure
to suffer much more after the war than
We possibly will be asked to sacrifice
while the conflict RACES. The sensible
thing for the moment is, therefore. to
fill up on things you like less and as
sure Yourself more satisfactory living
in the years to come.
1t must be remembered that the
European countries, harder pressed
than we have been, unuuestionablv
have made great inroads on their food
capital. Herds have been slaughtered
simply because they could not be fed
and there was nothing else for the
people to eat. Seed stocks have not
been maintained as they should. When
the war ends there will be a grand
scramble of nations to replenish their
food capital. They will turn to the
United States. Unless we are very
careful now they will leave US high and
dry then. Consideration of our future
safety demands that we look out for
ourselves by making sensible sacrifices
now.
