The news that the 'Americans liave tsJrtn over .a sector which has been

Jng

iulet must not be interpreted as meanthat they are .being held back for more training.

The Americans are riot far from Hartmannsweilerkopf, which earlier in the war was the scene of many fierce iQbnflicts. Lately, however, both sides liftve tacitly admitted that mountain lighting is too difficult and too costly, and have been content merely to hold the long established lines.

Geographically the Yankees' ft*© in Germany. Because the lines axe on German soil the German vandals refrain from their usua| pastime,. of •helling the villages behind the allies' lines. But the French do not admit

that they are in Germany. To the patrlotic Frenchman Alsace is now and always has been a part of France. Not till Alsace is all recovered, not till the

Rhine is erossed and the tricolpr planted oh the soil of Baden, will the French soldiers feel tliat they are really on enemy territory.

Strategically tha Vosgeg positions entrusted to ,the Yankees are of great importance. They are almost at the end of the great line of battle. Were Germany to determine to violate" Swiss neutrality as she violated the neutrality of Belgium upper Alsace would be the scene of one of the most terrific battles of the war. The Americans have not been sent to the, Vosges because oil the "quietness" of the sector, but because it is a highly important region and because the men from beyond the Atlantic have already proved their worthiness in Lorraine, in Picardy and north of the Marne.

UNCLE SAM, M. 0.

Uncle Sam, through his public health sprvice, has put out a book which ought to be in every home in the country, Its title Is the "Prevention of Disease and Care of the Sick." In simple language It tells how to keep well and what to do in case ot audden illness. .4,'! ./ •_ Y

It is Oie work of Dr.'W. 0. Stlmpsoh, assistant surgeon general of the United States public health service. There is a supplement on "First Aid to the Injured" by Dr. R. M. Woodward, a surgeon in the public health service.

In the introduction it Is explained that "sickness causes loss of time, great expense, much suffering and frequently death. When the misery and distress produced by it are taken into account, the Importance of its prevention cannot be overestimated. it may often be easily avoided by Tsimple means. Scurvy, which was once the scourge of the seas, now rarely occurs on vessels. T^ls is due to the addition of fresh fruits, vegetables or lime juice to the seaman's ration. Necrosis of the jaw, or phossy jaw, which was formerly so common among workmen in match factories, is now prevented by the use of red phosphorus instead of white phosphorus in this industry. Tellow fever has been stamped out of many places by killing the mbsquitoes which convey the disease."

It is then pointed out that "to protect ourselves against disease, It Is necessary to know what agencies are harmful to the human body and what measures should be taken to protect the body from them."

This the book does in a clear, direct manner. Where technical words are

GETTING INTHECROft,

Si|x million acres of wheat ready for harvesting. Approximately 100,000,000 bushels now being cut and soon to be threshed. It is the offering of a single stater The state is Kansas.

This is Kansas* answer to the call of America and her allies for food. Multiply the answer by the number of middle wester® states that specialize in wheat and one has an idea of what this one section of the United States is prepared to do by way of feeding a hungry world. It Is not surprising that Kansans ore proud of their offer ing, nor that the country as a whole is filled with optimism at the thought.

Kansas' attention is centered In her great wheat yield. Everything else unnecessary gives way. County chairmen are asking that the Thrift Stamp drive be postponed. Politicians get scant consideration.' Towns are canvassed for written pledges from clerks and business men to give from two to four days to the harvest. Merchants in many instances agree to close their stores if necessary to release their employes for the great task of saving a hundred million bushels of grain.

Harvesting such a £rop is a gigantic task, but. those charged with the re sponslbility are not worrying. "I can get along if they will leave nie my regular hired man," declared one man with 150 aires of wheat to gather. "I don't .want any Olty help. I would, rather have my daughter drive a team than some town clerk." |t. is the draft these wheat growers fear most if the government will only not call the young men to the colors till the wheat is in—and the weather gives them half a chance—they ask nothing more.

Six million acres of wheat in one state. Let hungry fiuns read that, and despair. It is a part of what Kansas is doing to tip over the throne of tiie Hohenzollerna.

TRACTIONS DRACGINGL

The dilemma of the street car company here and the equally exasperating dilemma of the city council as to what to do to get improved service seems not to be a local condition, but In many places of the country such public services have found themselves unable to meet present Competitive conditions brought on by the Jitneys, gasoline power busses and other modes of transportation which were never anticipated when the electric traction came into being.

There is soon to.be put into operation in Boston a new plan for the management of local transportation faciliI ties that bears much similarity to the

arrangement under which the railways of the United States are operated by an agency of the federal government, In the latter case, the directly axjthorlty under the president and congress is I the director general of railroads, W. G. I McAdoo. The management of the elevated, subway and surface lines of

Boston and its environs, now operated by the Boston Elevated railway, Is to be in a board of five trustees named by the governor of Massachusetts.

Service-at-cost and trustee management are the two main features of the new Boston traction plan.

The servlce-at-cost feature was borrowed from Cleveland, O. Under the Cleveland traction settlement plan of 1909 the stockholders of the street railway company are allowed a return on their recognized investment of 6 per cent—no more, no lesa^ There is provision for a graded scale of fares and a reserve fund of fixed amount. If earnings do not suffice to pay stockholders their dividends of 6 per cent, 'the reserve fund is drawn upon for the purpose, and as reserve fund falls below a certain point, fares, are automatically raised. As the reserve fund becomes larger than normal, rates of fare go dowll. The management in Cleveland, however, is in the hands of the private corporation, subject to a large degree of public regulation. The Boston plan presents an important variation from

vested in a board of five trustees named by the governor of the state.In recent years the net earnings of the Boston Elevated, operating In Bos ton and its. immediate suburbs, have shown a serious decline. To meet the situation, organized street railway investors asked the legislature to pass a law authorizing any Btreet rallwaj company in the state, at its own option, to go on the service-at-cost basis, under private management. After much discussion of the subject, three separate laws were passed one applying to the Boston Elevated Railway company the second to the Bay State company, and the third to other street railway companies of the state. All three statutes embody the service-at-cost idea, but in the case of the Boston Elevated company and the Bay State company the management is taken from the corporation, for limited periods at least, and is vested In trustees for'fee named by the governor ©f the state.

Our Soldiers in Ranee

"The way the Americans have developed as fighters is one of the most amazing featlires of the war,V remarks a high officer of the British Staff to the London correspondent .* of the New York World. "Those engaged in the present and last offensive were placed beside a French corps d'elite. It was tlieir first experience in a big battle. The Americans--, fought as superbly as the crack veteran French corps beside them, displaying all the finest v fighting qualities—dauntless courage, stubborn tenacity, coolness, initiative, and resource."

The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for the week, June 22d, deals with the fighting qualities of the American soldiers, and includes the opinions of Canadian^ English, and French allies who have been fighting with them shoulder to shoulder.
