PLEDGE CARDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALL
I-IOUSEHOLDERS IN ANCHORAGE AND RESIDENTS
WILL BE ASKED TO PLEDGE THEMSELVES TO
CUT DOWN CONSUMPTION OF CERTAIN FOODS
BY C. W. JONES,
Publicity Agent of Food Administration.
Ancnorage win observe wn eat less
and meatless days, and a campaign
will be inaugurated immediately to
enlist every resident in behalf of the
policy of food conservation. This un
animously was decided at a meeting
at the Hotel Anchorage Grill yester
day afternoon of representative busi
ness and professional men of the city.
Tuesday and Friday of every week
have been designated as “meatless”
days; Wednesday as “wheatless” day,
and Saturday as “porkless” day. The
public will be asked to pledge them
selves to abstain from the use of those
products on the days named, and
cards will be distributed to every resi
dent of the city for signature to that
effect.
Andrew Christensen, who is the An
chorage representative of the Alaska
food administrator, Judge Royal A.
Gunnison, of Juneau, pointed out at
| yesterday’s meeting the salient fea
tures of the nation’s policy of con
serving food supplies in order to win
the war.
Statement of Christensen.
“It is the hope of the food adminis
; tration,” said Mr. Christensen, “to
guide the trade in the fundamental
food commodities so as to eliminate
vicious speculation, extortion and
wasteful practices, and to guard ex
ports so that against the world’s
shortage we retain sufficient supplies
for our own people.
“We must stimulate in every man
ner within our power the saving of
our food in order that we may in
crease exports to supply the men who
are in the trenches today fighting for
the preservation of our liberties.”
A full discussion of the necessity
for acting without delay in the matter
of curtailing the consumption of
meats, fats, milk, sugar, flour and
other staple foods was entered into by
those present. Among the speakers
were A. A. Shonbeck, Charles E.
Brown, Ray Larsen, A. J. Wendler,
Sidney Anderson, Judge Leopold
David, George R. Vause, Dr. F. M.
Boyle, Rev. E. W. Hughes and J. J.
Hales.
Support Pledged Movement.
Every speaker pledged himself to
the observation of the conservation
program as dictated by the national
administration.
In order to secure the maximum ef
ncicncv m tne lorthcommg campaign
against waste and the saving of food,
the city of Anchorage has been divid
ed into ten general districts. Every
district will be presided over by a
captain who will be responsible for
the results in the territory assigned
him. The captain will appoint a corps |
of lieutenants, who will make a per
sonal canvass of every home in the
city. Every householder will be ask
ed to sign a card every week, record
ing the results of the observance of
the “wheatless,” “meatless” and
“porkless” meals. These cards will be
collected every week and returned to
the captain of the district, who in turn
will send them to the Anchorage food
administrator. Eventually these re
| ports will be filed with the national
food administrator in Washington for
tabulation with the other data gather- j
ed from all parts of the country.

IS TITLE OF
ARMY PAPER
WEEKLY PUBLICATION MAKES
ITS APPEARANCE AT CAMP
LEWIS, NEAR TACOMA.
PRINTS CANTONMENT NEWS.
Impressive Amount of Advertising
Insures Success of Venture, Which
Is Under Management of Trained
Newspapermen.
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., Jan
12.—The latest regimental newspaper
to make its appearance is “Over the
Top,” a weekly publication issued ev
ery Saturday by the officers and men
of the 363rd Infantry. Volume I,.
Number 1 comprises four sheets of
six columns, each filled with regi
mental news, together with an im
pressive amount of advei’tising which
assures the success of the venture.
The editors are Captain Thomas A.
I Driscoll, well known athlete and polo
j player, who is in charge; D. A. May
' bould, manager; and A. J. Tormey
and Kendall K. Kay, well known
i newspaper men, editors.
Colonel Writes Editorial.
Col. H. L. Cavanaugh, commanding,
contributes the leading editorial which
in part reads as follows
“The newspaper is the great con
necting link of the universe, giving
to the community in which it is pub
lished news of the daily events which
directly or indirectly affect the life of
each individual. It gives its readers
the opportunity to meet and talk to
great men of the world, to discuss
current events and plan commercial
activities. The newspaper is the
world’s greatest host, bringing to
gether and introducing billions. On
account of this power of making men
know each other, of grouping ideas
and thoughts which means concentra
tion of energy, ‘Over the Top’ is hcre
| by dedicated the regimental newspap
er of the Three Hundred and Sixty
third infantry. This concentration of
thought and expression is bound to
insure that unity of action, which,
when Old Glory is carried o’er the
trenches of Germany, will make the
Kaiser see the ‘Stars’ and ‘Stripes’
of the man-power of the greatest na
tion of God’s earth.
Spirit of Regiment.
“It should vibrate with the spirit
of the regiment and show to those in
j civilian life the work being accom
plished and the character and morale
of the men making up the national
army.
“This press will be regimental pro
perty, will be carried with us where
ever the regiment goes and when we
get ‘over there,’ if conditions permit,
‘Over the Top’ will bring back across
the Atlantic the ‘Spirit’ and ‘Achieve
ments’ of the Three Hundred and
Sixty Third.”
The lead story on the first page is
written by Major Henry C. Breck
enridge who tells of the war aims of
the “mad men of Potsdam and de
clares that the “league of Hohenzol
lern and Hell must be destroyed be
cause law is greater than anarchy.
Because democracy is greater than
autocracy. Because love is greater
than hate. Because freedom is great
er than slavery. Because the soldier
of liberty is greater than the soldier
of tyranny.”
Contains Several Cartoons.

R. Coffin and Vince Lovett. Verse is
