THE LAST LAUGH.

,v When President "Wilson and Secretary Baker, promised a few months to havo a million men In France before the end of this year a lot of distinguished statesmen and newspapers •miled and said that while they hoped •O, they did not believe there was enough American ships to get million men over, And too, think of the German submarines,

This troop mavtmvnt ft tr*inendous demand upon shipping. When congressional figure jugglers were investigating the shiping question last

winter they proved that Secretary Baker was talking like a wild man when he spoke of 1,000,009 men in Franc® before. the ftdvenl of 1919, while the Germans have proved repeatedly, to their own satisfaction, that if the United States ftioves any considerable number of men across the sea it can only be done by taking necessary cargo ships away from the allies and letting the people starve. But again the figures are confounded by the facts, for the movement of cargoes in and out of English ports has not fallen off. The British have enough to eat and all the raw materials that they need*

These results have been achieved by resort to a number of resources which neither the critics in congress nor the enemy in Berlin had thovght of. Dutch, Swedish and Japanese Ships, which were not available when the discouraging figures were made, have become available. The shipbuilding program, which was a "failure" in December, Is a resounding success in June. When the prophets of six months ago figured on the carrying capacity of a ship they forgot to figure that men can sleep tn two shifts and so doable the uuiubei 0at a» be carTied on a ship.

Ia short, the United State* Is doing what seepned impossible to enemies abroad and pessimist* at home, because, when difficulties piled op, "the administration thought of new ways to surmount them and revealed sources of strength that the enemy had not guessed That is the way wars are WOn.

Ketwfon one week-end and ih# next the number of American soldiers in prance Increased by a round 100,000, iccordin^ to the figures given out by *en. March this morninp in his weekly talk about the war. Military critics Had generally placed the date fcor the irrival of the millionth man in France In August, but at the present rate of gain there will be a million men in France by July 1.

German efTTclencv may be an amazingly wonderful thing, but there are other sorts of efficiency and there is one particular sort that is going to make the efficient Hun wish his greed for world empire was never bom.1.

The British parliament cheered^tlst night, when I/loyd George in a speech announced: "Enough Americans have arrived to satisfy the allies and to disappoint and defeat the enemy." 1

ganda aijd recently traced to their sources is this: A woman living near St. I^ouis writes a man in the latter city telling him 'that when soldiers reach New York on ttffeir way to France, and get "cold feet," they are put in chains and thrown overboard by order of President Wilson. If they show further resistance, she says, their legs are blown off with bombs*

A good yarn, no doubt, from the point of view of the subtle pro-German story-teller. But who ever heard of an American soldier with "cold feet?" The fact is that the American soldier is so eager to get to France and take his chances with the kaiser that the American government can't build ships fast .enough to satisfy our men,

REVYARE GOO-D, NEWS.

War dispatches to the Tribune, that the Italians are smashing the Austrian forces and that the Germans on the western front are slowing down, and that tumult and turmoil are epidemic in the cities of Germany, may be good newrs, bnt they can also be dangerous news.

We mnst not be lulled tb dtitutefeel. or to a surcease of every war effort. It has been said often, bat may need repeating occasionally, that were Germany and her allies able to convince America that their armies were rotten with discontent, that their soldiers were hungry and in tatters, that the thrones of Germany and Austria-Hun-gary were tottering and the war party 'distrusted and discredited—could the enemies of America persuade us of the truth of liuch folderol, the achievement would be the equivalent of a great, victory for them.

No, the ,war will not be won by the allies sitting by* and letting their enemies disintegrate. It is to be won by machine guns, by rifles and big guns, by grenades, by gas bombs, by battle planes, by the dash and courage of soldiers fighting for the right—in other words, by men!

The central powers will be beaten if the allies, and particularly If America, sends enough men to the front. And they will be beaten in no other way.

times, however. It is dangerous news. It is dangerous news if in a case like this its effect is to persuade a single American anywhere to rela|c one lota of his determination that an honorable peace shall be won by the only means it can be won—by fighting.

CANNING THE HUN."

The canning drive for l.SffO,000,000 quarts of "put up" foods in 1918 is on.. Three thousand home demonstration agents and leaders in boys' and girls* club work in. ,the United States department of agriculture are ready to help the nation to this goal.

They have started out to teach the nation to can' and to do a good job of it.f Irf addition to this number many thousands of volunteer leaders are working with these extension forces of the depart man on the summer cany paign. J..aat year the home canners put up 850,000,000 quarts, it is estimated

Leaders are being trained in the department's laboratories. This work will continue all summer and expert demonstrators will be turned out to carry the latest canning information intta. the .field.- District meetings of home demonstration agents are to be held in all the states to plan the summer's work and for special instruction in canning and drying.

Every canning club group Among the boys' and "girls* clubs in the north an^ west is organizing k demonstration team of expert canners* These teams will be uniformed and #ffl give demonstrations at public meetings in their communities. Over thirty thousand boys and girls will take part in i s w o k v

Sufficient sugar will be available this summer for home canning, according to the United States food administration. The only requirement made is for a signed statement that the amount purchased is to be used 'for that purpose. Local regulations governing the maximum amount of sugar for canning allowed to individuals during the season are male by state food administrators.

ARE YOU WORKING.

tissatisfaction with one's job is a common, human trait /Sometimes the restlessness is only temporary, for something comes along which holds one's interest stronger than ever. Occasionally one feels that if he had taken up some other line he would be more successful and happy. .But what would happen to the average mortal if there were no jobs of any kind to be gained?

Conditions in Russia are 'critical that many women are ending their lives or becoming insane, because of lack of work and the fact that they face famine. '1 know of two girts, friends of oar friends, who committed suicide, and two of the best known young people in Russia, a man and a girl, have gone crazy in the last few days,Writes Miss Elizabeth Boies, war worker in the T. W. C. A. in Moscow. "The schools are closed and the university, too. How people continue to live I do not see, for there is constant decrease in work. "More places are shut up this week than last. I am going out to see some poor neighbors tomorrow with, one or our committee women.**I hav« taken in temporarily a nurse, who dropped on our doorstep the other night without a place to sleep and no friends to go to. She had worked four years in the war and was wounded three times,' the last time while working on an ambulance in the October revolution. We are trying to find her a Job, bnt It is hard. No one wants to take another person into the family, because it means another mouth to feed.'*

Her realistic picture of conditions brings the truth ,home to us rather forcefully. Next time you site tempted to '*kick over the traces" on your job or complain about the re-arrangement of our national diet, praise God that you aren't living in Russia.
