Chicago—Six thousand of the 42.000 dentists in America are in active mili tary service and 20,000 of these re maining at home are members of th* preparedness league and have per formed more than DOO.OOO dental op erations free of charge to permit young men to pass strict military examina tions. Members of the National Den tal association from all parts of the rountry are gathering here for a big “Win the War" convention August 5 to 10. at which results already obtained will be reviewed and plans discussed for extending further aid to the gov ernment. Ten thousand delegates are .expected to attend. The Canadian Dental association has ' decided to attend fn a body instead of meeting in Canad.it, this year, and this [ trill give the convention an interna tional character. A series of dental | clinics will be held, experts will give i especial attention to pyorrhea and focal infection, the two teeth diseases ' mostly feared by the public, and steps will lie taken to Impress upon young men the advisability of consulting dentists before entering military serv ice and thus relieving the great strain on the army and navy dental corps, j Then wilt be taken up the art of plastic surgery, which was developed by the dentists to meet conditions brought on by trench warfare. Start i ling results achieved in restoring health and making normal the appear ance of men suffering serious face wounds by means of plastic surgery have given the dentists a new dis tinction. Recognition of the importance of the dentist’s work has led the military au thorities to place members of the pro fession in the service on a full equaltty : with other members of the medical corps and for the first time the dentist, as well as the medical man. is eligible i to a commission as high as colonel. ' The splendid response of the American dentist to the demands of war ante 1 dates America’s entrance into the con flict. The preparedness league, found ed and headed by Dr. .1. W. Beach, New York, was the outgrowth of vol 1 untarv and extended by a group of ; New York state dentists to Canadian | dentists. These Americans crossed Into 1 Canada and contributed their services, when the Canadian dental corps was having difficulty meeting the great de mands upon it. League Member* Bucy. I Thousands of members of the pre paredness league now are devoting , part of their time to the work of pre paring men for military service. They I estimate the numner of free dental operations will reach the 1,000,000 mark ! before the first of the year. The, 1’si Omega, leading dental fraternity, has pledged every or^ of its 10,000 members to extend free services to aid prospec tive soldiers in getting into uniforms. Dr. D. 11. Cameron. Chicago, has ar ranged for a big loyalty banquet on the opening day at which a Psi Omega service fiag hearing 1,007 stars will lie unfurled. The National Association’s service flag, bearing G.000 stare, will be unfurled the opening day. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis and Lieut.

A bronze statue of the late Dr. Greene Vardiman Black, of Chicago, one of the great pioneers of dental research, which is life size and stands in Lincoln park, will be unveiled on August 8. Thbua ands of American dentists contributed to the fund with which the monument was constructed. GREATEST CONFIDENCE IN AMERICAN IDLERS London, (by mail).—"There is a new Ians, confronting us," said Premier Lloyd George In a recent speech. "What m'anner of country it will be," lie con tinued, "will depend on how the war goes and on how things go after tha war. "I am more confident today than I have ever been, and for reasons it would not be relevant for me to enter on at the moment; but one of the latest reasons is the impression made on me by the American troops I saw in France. They are superb in material and in training, and in the way they have borne themselves in the trying conditions of battles they have fought. I found a great spirit of confidence which strengthens our convictions of victory. “The war has upset everything and when it is over the falling back into normal conditions will be another dis turbance. There will be a great social and economic disturbance. "There are two alternatives. One is that the war will have sobered the millions who have passed through the fires, whether in Franco or in the anxieties at home. Their vision will have been broadened, their sympathy deepened, their outlook and purpose made clearer, firmer and more exalted There are millions who have been in daily contact with death, walking hour ly over Its trap doors. They have come Into contact with very terrible realities. That is one view. “The other is that there are mfTjions who for these years have endured pri vations, discomfort, wretchedness, as well as pain and terror, and w»ho have madfe up their minds to have a good time for the rest of their lives when it is over. That is a very dangerous frame of mind for a nation to be In." TORTURED BY CANNED TALK. "On March 27 my husband came home nnd wound up the Victrola and played' a record known as ‘A Fool There Was’ from 8 a. m. until 1 p. m. as an added type of torture." Thus did Mrs. Luella Hinrichs com plain In the supreme court that she waa a victim of cruelty on the part of Wilt lam John Hinrichs. a commission mer chant, from whom she wants a separa tion. Mrs. Hinrichs added, however, that tho climax in the family discord did not occur until one morning last April when, she alleges. Mr. Hinrichs threw several buckets of water over her whf siiA .dept.

Sir Guy Calthrop, the coal controller, recently addressed the delegates to the conference of the British Miners' Federation. lie said that he was faced approximately with a coal deficiency of 36,000,OCX) tons a year. By means of the rationing of household coal, gas, and electricity throughout the country, he hoped to save from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 tons upon last year’s consumption, leaving a balance of 27,000.000 tons to-be found. This deficit could only be met by a policy of rationing coal supplies to industries which, though not directly concerned with war work, were nevertheless important, and by an improved output of coal. — The economies and privations of our allies in the matter of coal far exceeded anything he was asking the people of this country to submit to, either as household consumers or as consumers of industrial coal. The ration of coal in France for a household of five persons was only 28 hundredweight a year. Every day American troops were pouring into France, and this meant a constantly increasing demand for coal, a demand he always tried to meet without grudging. He was sure no miner would grudge the American soldiers their eoai. Whereas, last autumri, American requirements were only at the rate of 600,000 tons a year, from now onwards they would represent millions. He was hopeful that under the household rationing scheme no real hardship would be inflicted, though many people would have to submit, to inconvenience and a change of habits. The coal stocks of public utility undertakings in this country had been reduced much below the level which was formerly considered the margin of safety. There was a deficiency in gas works stocks based on six weeks peak load for London and 17 large provincial centers of 951,758 tons. Recently he had to suspend for a period nearly all deliveries of coal to railways, id order tc divert shipments to Italy for military purposes. It was necessary to send coal to neutral countries to carry out definite agreements between the governments under which we secured materials and services of fundamental importance for carrying on the war. The Germans were in worse straits than we were for coal, but they were using the coal weapon against us with neutrals. In wartime coal was not merely gold. Money could not buy it. It was not only the prime factor in nearly all war materials, but the prime article of barter and bargain with neutral countries. ‘‘I may as well tell you quite frankly,” Sir Guy Calthrop proceeded, ‘‘that during July we have not been able to fulfill our obligations to ship coal to our allies and to the neutral countries with which we have agreements, and that we are short upon our shipment program. In June and July and this month came that serious epidemic of influenza which fell severely on some coal fields, and in some cases caused 50 per cent of the men employed at the pits to be absent for a week. Consequently July must not be looked upon as a normal month, but the output for July was the worst of any month since the war started, being only 15.760.000 tons, or a decrease of 3,300,000 tons compared with July, 1917. This has made the situation precarious.”______ j WHAT RESTORATION MEANS. J From th» New York Times. Senator Lodge stated as the first of the terms in what he would regard as a just peaee that “Belgium must be restored.” This was also the first of the specific territorial terms in the president’s address of January 8, last: “Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and completely restored. Exactly how much Germany owes Belgium is undoubtedly known to certain persons in Germany, but is hard to .compute from the outside. The Belgian government, however, estimated certain kinds of damage done at a total of $1,500,0000,000—“ which, ’ it added, “must by no means be supposed to represent the total of Belgium’s material losses.” War taxes and contributions levied in cash already amount to $405,000,000. Of this sum about $43,000,000 represents levies imposed on towns or provinces at Ihe time of the invasion; the remainder is the special tribute imposed on the nation by the German government, beginning at $8,000,000 a month in December, 1914, and raised from time to time until June of last year, when it was fixed at $12,000,000, which has been maintained since. Besides this $465,000,000 of special levies, the German govern ment lias taken over the ordinary taxes levied before the war by the Belgian government upon its citizens, and some of them it has greatly increased, while new ones have been added. Then there have been any number of special fines. Brussels was fined $1,000,000 because two members of the German secret service, in plain clothes, had received no aid from the police when attacked by a crowd; although the Germans had assured the burgomaster, just before that, that, they had no secret police in Belgium. Another fine of $10,000, 000 was levied on Brussels for a demonstration in favor of Cardinal Mereier. Mons was fined $125,000 because a Belgian paper published in Holland had said that Crown Prince Rupprecht, then making his headquarters in ti at eity, moved from one house to another for fear of air raids. And so on." These fines, which no less than the original levies arc in violation of The Hague convention, are estimated at a total of more than $100,000,000. All this is official or semi-official theft. Whatever any German soldier saw fit to take, in Belgium, he has been ablP to take, unless a German officer happened to want it; of the value of these private stealings no estimate can be made. But the tale is not yet complete. Some $250,000,000 has been spent by the Belgian and allied govern ments, and by private contribution, in feeding the people of Belgium _a duty which by international law devolved on Germany. This, too, should be restored. How can Germany exhausted by war make restoration? there are two ways. To a large extent Germany can give indemnity in kind She still has on hand some raw material; her factories, many of them at least, have machinery which eould be replaced in the Belgian factories, from which it was stolen, or sent to take the place of Belgian machines scrapped to make shell cases. And if allied victory is complete, the payment of the remainder in cash can he and should be expected before Germany pays and more interest on her own war bonds. Cast*. From the Christian Science Monitor. For many year* it hae been recognised, by those who know India well, that one of the chief obstacles In the way of that great country achieving unity and re sponsible government Is the caste. There Is nothing In any other country really comparable to this. Class distinctions are (till common enough In all countries, but Uie caste system of India Is much more than a class distinction, J.t constitutes the most complete social divorce which it is possible to Imagine, for no amount of leg lslatlon will ever achieve unity In a coun try spilt up Into sections, communication between which Is laboriously difficult, and, between the hlg<>*st and lowest,, utterly Impossible. The pariah class In India, the "un touchables," as they are called, number a« least fcO,000,000 They are all, as far as the Hindu religion is concerned, outside ,the pale of humanity. They cannot enter a Hindu temple, they cannot draw water from wells used by people of the higher casts*, and If any Indian, even uninten tionally, touches a par iah he is obliged to purify himself. When this has been said, only a tithe" has been told of the burdens which weigh upon the "depressed peo ples,” while nothing it nII has been said concerning the social barriers, which no occasion Is sufficient to obliterate, exist ing between caste and caste. First Play In America. From the Christian Science Monitor. Theater going is so peculiarly a diver ■Ub of cl‘y /oil. that it seems ttraiigej that the first play known to nave ueen presented on an American stage was acted before an audience of farmers In a remote country neighborhood. In far Accomae, on the eastern shore of Virginia, on August 27. 1665—76 years before there 1s any record of a dramatlo entertainment In New York—"a play com monly called ye Beare & ye Cubb" wa performed with Cornelius Watklnsor Philip Howard, and William Darby tho principal, possibly the only, actors. Either the Puritans or the serious minded followers of William Penn might have been expected to shake their heads over the Introduction of this unseemly amuse ment, and even in merrier Virginia one Edward Martin felt htmeelf In duty bound to inform the king’s attorney. John Faw cett, of the matter. . The- three actors named were summoned to court on "y« 16th of November," and each In turn put through a rigid cross examination and ordered to appear at the December court, “in the habiliments they had acted In, and give a draught of such verses or other speeches and passages which were then acted by them." An so "Ye Beare and ye Cubb" was presented a second time in Accomac county, with "ye honorable court” and— we may depend—as many others as the room Would hold, as spectators. The court finding the actots “not guilty of fault, suspended ye payment of Court charges; A forasmuch ns It appeareth upon Ye Oath of ye said Mr. Fawkett, that upon ye said Martin's Information, ye Charge and trouble of that suit did acc.ew.
