PAY Gn^EX SOLDIERS.
Americans Fighting Men Get More
Than Europe's.
Capturing American "Sammies" is
a decidedly more lucrative occupation
for the Prussian soldiers than fighting
for the fatherland, says Thomas
F. Logan, in Leslie's. When the
Kaiser offered a bonus of $75 to the
first man of his forces in France who
captured an American soldier he fixed
a sum that represents more than
three years' pay of a private in the
German army. The pay given American
soldiers, compared with the pay
of the British Tommy, the French
poilu, the Italian, Alpini, the German
boche and the other fighting men of
Europe, seems handsome wages. The
American second-class private will
receive $33 a month. The French
soldier receives exactly $31.50 less,
? or $1.50 a month. The Russian private
gets thirty-two cents a month;
the Austria-Hungarian troops are
given two and a half cents a day.
Great Britain allows her fighting men
$7.60 a month for service in France,
Mesopotamia and other foreign
territories. Italy ranks second in
generosity allowing a monthly minimum
of $5.83. Spain compensates
her soldiers with a monthly wage of
$4.42; Germany has a wage scale
beginning at $1.65; Japan's soldiers
at home receives $8.00 a year, and
Turkey grants her men $11 a year.
Growing in Mind.
It is said that Coleridge once exclaimed
to Charles Lamb. "I could
write plays just as well as Shakespeare,
if I had a mind." "Yes,"
Tjimh. "that is just what you
lack." It is a blessing, however, that
even though we may not be able to
do the work of a great genius, we
may count upon growth in strength
and breadth of mind. You can do
with your mind today what you could
not do five years ago. If you will
give your mind an opportunity to
grow by hard, honest, faithful severe
work, you will be able to do much
more five years from now than you
are able to do today. If your mind
become poisoned with low ideals,
with poor literature, with wrong conceptions
of life, you inay^s well expect
it to grow, as to expect a plant
to grow in your garden when you
have allowed every sort of plant enemy
to burrow about the roots and
feed on the stalks and leaves.

| War Industries, Public Utilities and
Domestic Consumers First.
Washington, Nov. 14.-^?The 1917
coal shortage is put at 50,000,000
tons in estimates completed today by
the fuel administration. Although
production of bituminous and anthratogether
has jumped 50,000,000 tons,
consumption, it is declared, has increased
at least 100,000,000 tons.
Immediate measures to meet the
situation planned by Fuel Administrator
Garfield include curtailment of
shipments to non-essential industries,
private orders designed to increase
the car supply and a campaign for
coal conservation in manufacturing
(establishments and households.
Using More Coal.
Previous statements from the fuel
administration had indicated the belief
that the increased production
might meet the enlarged demands.
Munition plants, however, are said]
to be using fully 50 per cent morej
coal than they hsed a year ago.
"The fuel administrator is determined,"
said Dr. Garfield today, "that
war industries, public utilities and
domestic consumers shall be supplied.
To this end the fuel administration
expects the cooperation of every coal
user in the country. The fuel administration
will use all of its authority
to prevent the waste of fuel
and the unnecessary use of coal. Domestic
users will be urged to conserve
their supplies.
War Needs First.
"Wherever the unnecessary use of
coal in industry threatens to embarrass
war industry, the fuel administration
will see that the war needs
are filled. All activities which are
unnecessary to the maintenance of
the military or economic efficiency
| will have to give way by curtailment
! to the necessities of war and this
? li-U ^ j U /Mti nnrlnc
must De accompjusinsu \>i<,huul
curtailment of the domestic supply."
Dr. Garfield illustrated the increased
demand for coal by pointing to the
requirements of the Bethlehem Steel
Company, which is consuming this
year 3,000,000 tons more than it
took in 1916. The demands of the
government, including the requirements
of the fighting forces of the
army and navy, jumped this year
from 2,000,000 to 8,000,000 tons.
Solution of the car shortage, officials
believe, will do as much towards
increasing the supply to meet
the demand as will curtailment of
industry.

AMERICAN AIRPLANES.
By 1919, the World Will Open
Its Eyes.
With all our genius for invention,
declares Waldemar Kaempffert, in
The American Review of Reviews,
with ajl the knowledge of skilled
automobile manufacturers to draw
upon, with the best expert information
of Europe at our disposal, it is
not likely that we shall see as many
as 5,000 American airplanes on the
battlefield by the spring of 1918. We
can do little more than lay the
foundation for a not too distant
future. No army officer with any regard
for his reputation will claim that
we can win the war in the air in
| another year. But by 1919, the
j world will open its eyes. Then we
shall be manufacturing 4,000 air,
planes a month, and we shall have
j 30,000 of them ready for the camp|
aign of that year.
How many of us realize what it
means to build not only 23,000 airplanes,
but just one pair of wings on
which a brave man may soar among
the clouds, just one trustworthy engine,
just one exquisitely-fashioned
propeller? Here is a machine which
has some of the attributes of a butterfly,
which is driven through the
atmosphere at such speed that each
gust is like the blow of a powerful
sledge hammer, and which, unlike
a motor car, almost always runs at
full power, so that it is severely
strained. Safety depends on the
most meticulous choice of material
and on correct designing. A flying
machine must be as airily light for
its size as thistledown and yet as
strong for each square foot of its
surface as a girder; and it must
travel sometimes at a speed twice
that of the fastest express train.
Twenty-three thousand times must a

Cross Currents.
"How longg after you were mar|
ried before your wife spoke crossly
to you?"
"She yelled at me the minute I
stepped on the train."
"My goodness! What for?"
"Wei you see. I tore off about
four wards of it."?Judge.
A Natural Question.
"You gave me a Christmas cigar,
Mr. Flubdub," said the man who occasionally
came around in quest of
j odd jobs. "So I did. Are you just
