Tfie Price of Curiosity Many travelers have wondered whether

France and Belgium would act on the suggestion of barring all tourist travel from the districts in which the Huns vented their wrath. Some Americans really believed these countries would "shut off the tourists and refuse the gold which the Yankee traveler carries in his pocket. It is doubtful whether the people of Europe r.re as sensitive about the battlefields and ruined districts as some of us believe they are. At present the governments would not welcome the tourists because food conditions are still unsettled and an influx of Americans might jeopardize the food supply; France and Belgium just now do not need American gold as much as their people need food. But a few months will change all this and the thrifty French peasant and Belgian shopkeeper will welcome the Yankee with an itch to see and a propensity to spend. Before the war the United States could be counted on to spend about 100 million dollars a year for the luxury of visiting points of interest in the Old Country. The tourist business was always a big factor in any calculation of international business. The American tourist was one of Europe's test customers and millions of dollars were invested in devices to get his money. No one seriously believes for a moment that these devices will not be put into play as soon as the most nec

essary and urgent readjustment and reconstruction problems are attended to. The European countries will need millions of dollars to offset their losses in the last four years, and the Yankee tourist is a convenient and willing source for revenue. .. . Europe had no sentimental objections to satisfy our "vulgar curiosity" before the war, and it is a sure bet that sentiment will have little effect now when the attractions can be increased

The Submarine Murders . The element of justice involved in submarine murders and other violations of international law lias been lost sight of by most of us while the peace delegates were drafting the League of Nations and considering other preliminary measures. The New York Times calls attention to the work of the Peace 'Conference Commission which is making an inquiry concerning the responsibility and giult of individuals involved in the submarine murders. It has enough evidence to convict twenty U-boat commanders. Says the Times : " "Their crimes have not been forgotten. Nearly 4,000 merchant ships were destroyed during the war, and about 1,400 of them were owned in neutral countries. Norway alone lost 831. More than 17,000 sailors gave up their lives. The British Seamen's Union mourns the deaths of . .. i j i

Profit ia the reward of good will. Profit is a voluntary gift from the consumer, inspired by his good will, rrofit must be given, not extorted. This law of profit Is inexorable. It controls the strongest as well as the weakest. Even the railroads, when they lost the good will of the public, were deprived i,f profit and brought to the verge of bankruptcy. Perhaps the clearest proof of this law governing profit lies in the fact that in practically every instance where V.g business has succeeded in making a profit commensurate with its invested capital there has been created a service peculiar to its product 4 A cracker combine won tremendous success by packing In. air-tight sanitary boxes a common soda cracker Which had formerly been sold in bulk from barrels. The public willingly granted a handsome profit for the privi3t?w of buying crackers of known quality, protected from dampness, dust, odors and vermin. - The same kind of service has been responsible for the success of several other food staples, notably sugar .'.. arid cereals.

'No heartless pirate in past centuries was guilty of greater or more wanton cruelty than is shown in the record of their offenses. It could not have been difficult for the commission to get evidence. ' The testimony of fortunate survivors, neutrals as well as belligerents, has repeatedly shocked the world, the 'Central Powers' excepted. There would be more of it if crews of ships 'sunk without trace' could be brought to life. It may be that with the twenty commanders of submarines will be associated, as another defendant, their superior officer, Admiral Von Tirpitz, now seeking rest in a Swiss cottage."

Saving Daylight "The repeal of the daylight saving law or its curtailment to any appreciable degree, would be a positive detriment to the working people of this country," said Howard S. Braucher, secretary of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, in making public the following telegram sent to United States Senators Calder and Wadsworth: f

of America respectfully and urgently asks your support of the national daylight saving law and your vigorous opposition to its projected repeal in the rider to the Annual Agricultural Appropriation bill. . : "The importance of giving those who labor an extra hour of daylight in which to turn from work to play and to better health, has no stronger endorsement" than the countrywide commendation won by the law last year. It meant renewed health for the father, clean, wholesome enjoyment for the son and daughter and happiness for the mother in watching her children at play. .

of knowing the quality of paint used on their houses and by protecting them against the use of inferior paint. A manufacturer of paper secured good will and the resultant profit by establishing standards of quality which enabled the consumer to know and to get exactly the right paper for each particular job. Meat packers have made money, not because of combines or secret price agreements, but because they have developed a wonderful service of distribution in refrigerator cars and cold storage depots. The public is willing to pay for getting meat in good condition. Orange and apple growers won their profit by creating systems of grading under identifying brands. In none of these instances was. good will and resulted profit achieved by financing, organization, control of raw materials or economies of production. It resulted solely because of some service which the public appreciated and was willing to pay extra for. In practically every case where big business has failed to earn a profit there is a total absence of any service that is peculiar to the product. Perhaps the most common form of service is for a manufacturer, in an industry where values are uncertain and deceptive, to create a definite standard of. value and identify it by a widely advertised trade mark. The pubr lie has always responded to this form of service because of the protection which it affords and because of the satisfaction of. buying goods of known and established quality. , - ; . , .'

ONE YANKEE WAS AS GOOD AS ANOTHER IN AND ALL OF THEM WERE BETTER

Division composed ot Regulars and gained. Ey victor McNAUGHT. paris, March 3. (Special Correspondence) It Is a difficult task to nndertake to answer the question: "Which were the best American combat divisions?" The fairest and wisest way is to say that all American soldiers were equal to the best; that the glory of achievement depended only upon" the opportunity.. By this I mean that the divisions that entered the fighting first, and continued in it longest, naturally came out with the most shining records. At the scame time, when national guardsmen followed regulars, they proved they were of the same sterling stuff, and when national army men came along, they . showed that they, too, were capably of upholding our standards of valor and self-sacrifice. According to official records, the Second division gained more ground and captured more prisoners and guns than ny other. When history is written, the. Second will be given its permanent place in the memories of our people because of its gallant conduct in stopping the Germans at Chateau-Thierry, and turning them back from Paris at Bouresches, Vaux, and Belleau Wood. The Second comprised the Ninth and Twentieth-third regular infantry regiments, the Fifth and Sixth regiments of marines, besides the usual batteries of artillery, machine gun battalions, engineers and others, making a total of about 28,000 men. . ; Here is the war record of the Second: Prisoners captured, 228 officers, 11,738 men; guns captured,. 343 pieces of artillery, 1,350 machine guns; total advance on front line, about thirtyeight miles. Takes Part in Big Campaigns. The Second division had the privilege of taking part in practically all of the great American campaigns, after winning immortal glory by stopping the Germans at the Marne. It took part in the Marne counter- offensive, the operation which resulted in the pinching out of the St. Mihiel salient, and in the Argonne-Meuse offensive, which threw the Germans back on their lines of communication at Sedan. The men of the Second wear on their left coatsleeves their division insignia, an Indian head -in a star, placed on a shield. ; ' The men of the Second perhaps never would tell you of their great record. I spent two days in the company of a . fine, upstanding type of young American officer from the Twenty-third infantry, Capt. W. A. Burress, of Richmond, Va., and he never once mentionea tne suDjeci. The bravery of our men is equalled by their modesty. Partisans of other divisions must not be envious of the Second. The fortunes of war threw it in the way of great opportunities, and the Second lived up to them. Let us consider some of the other divisions that did well and earned the respect of their enemies. The Forty-second, or Rainbow diAt the same time, when national vision, made up of national guardsand the District of Columbia, arrived in France late in 1917. It fought in various sectors with the French army early in 1918, and participated in the St. Mihiel and Argonne-Meuse campaigns. Prisoners captured,, fourteen officers, 1,303 men; guns captured, twenty-five pieces of artillery, 495 machine guns, ground gained, about thirty-five miles. Regular Army Troops Hearten France. The First division, made up of regular army troops, was the first American force to arrive in France. I came in July, 1917, and its coming heartened the allies tremendously. It was the first to fire a shot at the Germans, first to conduct a raid, first to capture prisoners and inflict casualties. It won the small but important battle at Cantigny, May 28 to 30, 1918, took part in the Marne counter-offensive July 18 to 24; in the St. Mihiel operation, September 12 to 13; in the ArgonneMeuse campaign, October 1 to &, and at. the end of the war was fighting south of Sedan. Then it went on to Coblenz with the army of occupation Prisoners captured, 165 officers, 6.304 men; total advance against resistanc thirty-two miles. The Third division, regular army arrived in France in April, 1918; helped stop and turn back the Ger mans along the Marne from ChateauThierry northeast to Jaulgonne; fought at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne, and then marched into Germany. Prisoners, thirty-one officers, 2,209 men; guns captured, fifty-one cannon, 1,501 machine guns; total advance, twenty-six miles. The Twenty-sixth, or New England national guard division, arrived in France .in December, 1917; fought in the Chemin des Dames sector in February and March; later in the Chateau-Thierry sector, in the St. Mihiel drive, and in the Argonne. Prisoners, sixty-one officers, 3,087 men; guns captured, sixteen cannon, 132 machine guns; total advance, twenty-tnree miles. Like the other divisions, the Twenty-sixth suffered heavily. I met I two boys in Paris who told me that out of their original companies of 250 ! men each, one was among eight of the original members, and the other was one of only five left. The Thirty-second's Record.

of prisoners captured and ground ty-three cannon, 471 machine guns; total advance, over twenty-one miles. In mentioning the deeds of eleven divisions, I have been obliged to pass over, on account of space limitations, the achievements of others that did fully as well. In fact, one American soldier was Just as good as another, and that was mighty good. An officer of ohe of the allied armies thus explained to me the excellence of our fighting men: "America had 100,000,000 people from whom to choose 3,000,000 soldiers," he said, "and with such a great store of human material you selected the best, the cream of your young manhood. Our smaller countries had to raise much larger armies and we couldn't choose so carefully. The American army is young; ours is middle-aged." A captured German officer gave his view sadly: "You Americans are so young, sq strong, so fresh and vigorous. You are irresistible." .(The next article will describe American battlefields in France, still littered in places with the wreckage of conflict.) Fuel Administration Announces Order Change WASHINGTON. March 3. The fuel administration today modified the natural gas order, to permit industries at Richmond and other Indiana cities to use natural gas surplus as long as the psessure at Richmond is above twenty-five pounds. The mild weather permits the modification, it was said. Dinn e ir S -fco-r i e9 Last summer little Johnny paid his first visit to a farm. All his life he had lived in the heart of a great city, and when he suddenly came in sight of a haystack he stopped and gazed earnestly at what appealed to him as a new brand of architecture. "Say, Mr. Smith," he remarked to the farmer, pointing to the haystack, "why don't they have doors and windows in it?" "Door3 and windows!" smiled the farmer. "That ain't a house, Johnny, that's hay." "Don't try to josh me, Mr. Smith!" was the scornful rejoinder of the city boy. "Don't you suppose that I know that hay don't grow in lumps like that?" ' A certain farmer who lives not far from Youngstown had the habit of collecting so many old buggies and wagons that his yard was littered with them most of the time. The wife of the farmer, who has entirely different ideas about the1 way things should be conducted, resolved to make a clean up. Accordingly she assembled the ramshackle vehicles In an open space, set fire to them and gleefully watched them disappear. When the husband returned from town he drove to the back yard, looked about him, rubbed his eyes, and cried excitedly: "Great bubbling beeswax, Henrietta, where is everything?" "Why," replied his wife, "I just burned up a lot of old trash." The husband gulped, gasped, cleared his throat, and blurted out: ' "But heavens to Betsy, Henrietta, two of them wagons and one buggy was borrowed!"
