XT1CE TO IVBICHIBEKS. If you fail to receive your copy of The Timis as promptly a? you have In the past, please do not th'.nk It has ben lost or wai not sent on time. Remember that the railroads are ensagred with the urgent movement tro.ips and their supplies; that there la unusual pressure In various parts 1 the country for food and fuel; that the railroads hivi more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many trains are late. ThI Times has Increased Its mailing equipment and la co operating in evesy way with the postofflce department to expedite delivery. Even so. delays are Inevitable be ause of the enormous demands upon the railroads an! the withdrawal of men from many line of work. The United States Demands an Unconditional Surrender. PLEASE ANSWER. Crown Point is way back on its Liberty Loan, and we'd like to say this to the man down there who can buy and won't: You can't afford to give a thousand dollars, but you 'M ild if your child fell ill. You can't afford a new house, but you could if it were burned. You can't afford a Liberty Bond, but you would lose your child and your wife and your home and your busi ness and your coat if the kaiser won this war, which is precisely what would happen if every one refused to make a little sacrifice. And the kaiser wouldn't give it back with four and a quarter per cent interest, either. Whom are you for? NEWSPAPERS AND THE NATION. What are the newspapers doin? to help win the ar? What are they sacrificing? What are they giv ing? The questions were a challenge which in fairness should be answered. What are the newspapers doing to help win the war? Well, the best of them are giving eagerly what no money could buy. They are putting what they conceive to be national need in the first place and making all elsp subordinate to it. Without the willing co-operation of the newspapers this war could not be waged and won. Without the ever-present service of the daily papers America would be, like Russia, a congerie of disconnected peoples. The newspaper is the magic which transforms a land of end less villages and provinces, each separate from the other and each ignorant of what the other is doing and hoping, into a compact people of unified consciousness, whose will and whose intelligence include all and are exercised by all. The newspaper is the one dominant organ of public opinion. It is the information machine. It is the civiliz ing cement of the nation. It is the agency which welds dissimilar units into a homogeneous whole. If Russia had newspapers which reached the great majority of 'he people the disintegrating process now so evident would not be visible. It is because Russia has no com mon consciousness that destructive divisions are pos sible. A little more than a year ago, when Germany forced -.r upon us, the nation had to break sharply with the precedents and the traditions of the past. Why was it that the American people accepted of their own free will the selective draft? Was it not because the news papers had day by day presented the facts which proved ihe reasonable necessity of the measure? If the papers of the country had not as a whole perceived the con nection between the selective draft and success in war is it probable that any government would have been able to persuade the country to obey such a law? The American people approve the war. Every state in the Union is patriotic and loyal. There are no great centers of discontent. What but the newspapers are responsible for this? Of course in a larger sense the dreadful deeds of the German nation converted the citt sens of the United States from traditional pacifism to a willingness to fight endlessly to make the world safe tor free peoples. Rut why is it that America, divided by the ocean from Germany, comprehended the Inevita bility of war, while Russia, bounded on the west bv Germany, was still unaware of the Teutonic purpose? Is not the difference indicated by the presence and ab sence of newspapers of general circulation? What have the newspapers done to help win the war? They have assisted the nation to quickly decide vital issues. Had delays ensued the world uight never have been safe for democracy. Had not America boon able to think swiftly the right decision might never have been reached. The newspapers contributed powerfully to this. Yet it will bo answered in doing all of this they were but selling their chief commodity -news. They were performing public functions, it is argued, but the motive was personal gain. That does not tell the full story. Newspapers are admittedly private business ven tures. The publicly owned newspaper has not vet per suaded the country of its desirability. Hut eery pri vately owned newspaper worthy of the name has con stantly served the country and aided in winning the war at a cost to itself. The New York Times announced a week or two ago that every day it was refusing ad vertising worth several thousand dollars in order to print war cables which cost upward of a dollar a line. That attitude is typical of the -best of the industry Where could it be paralleled? Finally, the newspapers every day ghe to the gov ernment space which could not be boimht. Every branch of the administration fuels Tree at any time to ask the papers to donate special position and space to its pub licity. Food, tfmd, ships. Liberty Loans-these- ;,'nd otlier great interests of the nation are accorded pub licity and emphasis that could not.be obtained by money. Editorials and news ariicles are printed generously not because the papers hope for .the least profit therefrom but because they are conscious of the public responsi bility. That is a part of what the newspapers are g i ins; for national victory. They ask no credit for it. They court no approval, much less praise. Hut. in this time, when some of the captious .w ho do very little feel quali fied to play the confessor td those who have done much more frank speaking is not amiss, declares the Chicago Examiner. HOW THEY SAVE AT CANTONMENTS. Possibly the enormity of the ordinary waste of food in connection with table and kitchen scraps has never ben more vividly illustrated than by the projects which are now underway in connection with the reclamation and conservation work at our army training camps. In all of these camps both here and abroad much attention is being given to this important matter, but in some instances special efforts are being made for thorough development along certain particular lines. In connec tion with many camps large vegetable gardens, culti vated by soldiers, have produced remarkable results this year, and it is proposed next year greatly to extend this work. Large quantities of waste bread and broad crumbs instead of being dumped into the garbage- pai! as was formerly the universal practice, and as is still the custom in thousands of homes, hotels, restaurants, bakeries, etc.. throughout the country, are (fried in ovens, to prevent them from getting moldy, and sold for chicken feed. Cooked grease, fats and meats unsuitable as food are also saved from the garbage pail for use in the production of glycerine; but this is not all. for it has been found that there is a large amount of other kinds of waste animal and vegetable matter which can be utilized to great advantage as pig-feed, and at least one army camp is undertaking to conserve such food by feeding it to swine and thus providing a supply of ham, bacon, scrapple and sausage for the soldiers. This may seem like carrying the idea of saving waste to the extreme limit, but as a mater of fact it is noth ing more than a reasonable and proper application of conservation to every-day life. Every pound of food rep resents a certain definite amount of human energy and life, and to save food is to save life. Moreover, while this saving of human life in our army camps by these new conservation methods is great, the opportunity for such life-saving work is not confined to such camps alone but extends to every city, town, farm and home through out the country. Perhaps we need to add to our al ready long list of patriotic efforts just one more aj campaign for the abolition of the garbage pail.

The appeal made by President Wilson with reference to the War Savings Stamp campaign need not lose any of its fores as that campaign comes to a successful end. It is essential from now until the close of the war, and for all we know, for a considerable period after the war: "That our people everywhere pledge themselves to the practice of thrift; to serve ti e government to their utmost by increasing production in all fields necessary to the winning ef the war; to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind and to buy only those things which are essential to individual health and ef ficiency." Here Thrift and Efficiency saving and production go hand in hand, as they should. Each is futile without the other. We can go much farther than we have yet gone in the practice of both.
