UNCLE SAM MUS!
FELD THE ALLIES
Tin* weapons in this war an*
fijilitin*i men, munitions, food,
ships, and finance declared
Llerhet Hoover in a recent
statement which is being given
publicity throughout the coun
try. If we are to defend liberty
in this year 1917, all these
must be upon such a scale as I
will demand the energies of our
people. In previous wars a
small proportion of the country
went to fight, another small
portion was devoted to their
support, but the bulk of the
Nation did “business as usual."
Autocraw has been for years
organizing its resources to the
end that the- have placed one
out of seven of its population
on the fighting line and have so
moholized the civil population
as to afford them complete sup
port. They have suppressed
production of every luxury
and reduced even every neces
sity. Tln-ir arrogant confidence
that tliev will become “masters
of the world" is based upon
their belief that the material
ism, the selfishness, and the
jealousy of individual interests
in democracy make it impos
sible for it to organize such a
strength. They do not deny the
bravery of the men of democ
racy in battle, but they com
fort themselves in the belief
that we have not the self-sacri
fice at home for their supnort.
Allies To lie Fed Also.
Our problem is not alone
to mobolize our civilian popu
lation for the support of our
fighting men, but we also have
the responsibility of the sup
port of the fighting men of our
allies. And food is not the least
of their necessities. One of the
great European statesmen has
said: “The war will not be won
by the last 500,000 fighting
men , but will be won by the
last 500.000 bushels of wheat
It is within our abilty to give
this last 500,000 bushels, but
only if we organize to produce,
organize to save, and organize
to supply all.
We must feed our allies that
their people may remain in the
war. Liberty can not be main
tained upon the empty stom
achs of women and children.]
Through the drain of war ourj
allies have steadily decreased]
in food production and other \
agencies also curtailed their j
supplies. Out of our abundance'
by eliminating waste and ex !
travagance, it is in our power.]
and in our poorer alone, to hold I
the wolf from tin* door of the
world. Our obligation is great
er than war itself—humanity
demands it of us.
Eat Without Waste
We must save in all food. We
must eat plenty, but wisely
and without waste. If we save
in our consumption and our
waste we can increase our sur-l
plus to export; if we substitute!
other commodities for those we
can export we can further in-1
crease our surplus.
Furthermore, by our econ- 1
omies we can save a major]
portion of the cost of tin* war.]
We can increase our ability to]
Ei’ihseribe to liberty loan*?, F
w • < an save food we can lower]
the price of living to our own
people and relieve the strain]
ar.-i! <.istres unde.’ which tliev j
labor today. We can only doj
this by organizing so that there!
shall be no profiting from our,
burden equally.
The food administration is
a volunteer organization to be
endowed with powers by the
Government. This volunteer
organization is not to be lim
ited to a few executives in
Washington. We are solicitous,
nay anxious to secure as actual
members of this volunteer
effort every man and every
woman, every boy and every
girl in this United States who
will undertake the task with us.
There is no dictatorship in vol
unteer effort. It is by volun
tary moholizution that we can
answer autocracy with demo
cracy. It is as preat in effi
ciency and greater in spirit.
Hilly C'outts has accepted a
position with W. A. C'oghill.
Mr. f'outts is an oldtimer in
the country, his residence dat
ing from the early days of
Dawson. He has lived in most
of the Alaskan towns and has
a wide acquaintance among
Northerners.
16 TENT CUES
Contruction lias begun on
Hi wooden cities for our new
Xationoal Army, but this is only
half of the military cities which
will soon he ready for our soi
dies, according to a statement
appearing in the official bulle
tin, published at Washington.
Steps are now being taken to
build Hi cities of tents to receive
the National Gaurdsmen who
|have been called to the colors.
It will not take so long to make
them ready for the troops,, and
for this reason the work on
them has been held back until
the wooden cities were planned
land put under construct. In
| fact the location of two of them
has not yet been fixed, but it
i is expected that decision will
be reached in a few days. Tin
sites already determined tire:
j Fort Worth, Tex. Fort Sill.
lOkla. Iteming, X.Mex.; Waco,
j Tex.; Houston. Tex.; Linda Yi
jsta, Cal.; Greenville. S. C.; Au
gusta, <ia.; .Macon, Ga.: Mont
gomery, Ala.; Anniston, Ala.
Fayetteville. X. C.; Palo Alto.
Cal.; and Spartanburg, S. C.
Similar to Wooden Camps.
These camps will be laid
out to accommodate approxi
mately 35,000 men in each, and
I possibly as many as 10.000
|horses and mules. They will be
built by the same methods that
are followed in the case of the
wooden camps and under the
direction of the same officer.
Col. I. W. Littel, of the Quar
termaster Corps. While he will
not have to furnish the enor
mous number of tents mpiired.
must construct the water and
sewerage works and erect wood
en kitchens, mess halls, hos
pitals. storehouses, and many
buildings of other kinds where
tents are undesirable. Muilding
waterworks and sewers for a
population of 35.000 in about
a month is a rapid undertak
ing that any intelligent citizen
can appreciate, and such work
is merely a single detail of
many similar rush jobs to
be done in each of these Hi
camps. Fortunately, it will lie
somewhat simplified by the fact
that the designs prepared for
the National Army camps can
be used for the National Guard
camps.
Sanitation Studied.
The sanitiou of these camps
has received very careful study.
Special care is being paid to
securing an ample supply of
good water, to providing sew
age disposal systems of the best
type*, and to the collection and
disposal of the garbage. A
number of leading sanitary
specialists of the country have
cooperated in the general plans
of such work.
The men who go to these
ramps, and their families who
stay at home, should know that
everything that engineering
science can suggest as desir
able is being done to make these
military cities as healthful as
any of our permanent muni-,
•ipalities.

TASK OF NAMING NEW
SHIPS SOURCE OF WORRY
—
Naming German ships that
have been seized and the new
ones under construction for the
Government is no small task. I
the Shipping Hoard thinks.
Several hundred names will he
required in the near future.
The idea of using Indian names
was taken up. and also a propo-1
sal to use names of smaller
towns and rivers and counties,
hut neither proved satisfactory.
< 'oinmissioner I humid is an ad
vocate of naming the ships
after the members of the Sen
ate and House, and it is poss
ible that this will he done. Just;
how the matter of duplication!
will be settled is another vex-1
ing question. There are five.
Smiths in the Senate—from
South Carolina- Georgia, Mary
land. Arizona . and Michican.
In the House there are two
Campbells, two <'handlers j
three ('larks, three ('oopers.
two Garetts. two Grays, two
Hamiltons, two Harrisons, two;
Hulls three Johnsons two Kell-!
eys, two Kennedys, two Me!
Laughlins, two Martins, two]
Parkers, three Sanders, three!
Scotts, three Smiths, and two!
Stephens—and then in search!
for simple, typical American
names for the vessels- there is I
also that of the Hawiian mem-1
her, Hon. Kuhio Kalaninaolo.
