Demand Temperate Men.

The people of the prohibitory states
in America are certainly interested
in knowing that it is the worlds be-
lief that intoXication liquors interfere
with business and destroy property
Russia has plead guilty and has pro-
hibited the manufacture of her dead
ly vodka. 1t is interesting to know
that all the military leaders demand
temperate men. Everyone has been
wondering what the lessons of this
war were to be; probably this is it.
Temperance men have been saying
that liquors interfere with mans
success. Managers of big commercial
enterprises have given utterancc to
the same thing. Now the military
and naval leaders of the world are
crying out for the sober man to dis
charge big tasks.
A noted London brewer gets prom
pity into print, telling the workers TO
quit drinking whiskey and TO drink
beer, and the manufacturer of De-
wars whiskey, which may at oni
time have been heard of in Iowa, de-
cfares that he travled in prohiisSsn-
states in America some years ago
and that while at first he found some
difficulty in getting drink, by, per-
severance he found plenty, and that
in drug store he purchased some
of his own whiskey marked cough
cure.
He said that prohibition always in.
creased the sale of liquors yet
strangely enough, as distiller he op-
posed prohibition.
This war is not question of bul.
lets alone but may be one of booze
and bulltes.

Clothing piled up, Too.

l have no doubt that every shoo
and every factory existing in the nine
countries which are at war is engaged
in manufacturing war materials, and
that every man who is not in the
army is engaged in making shot and
shell for those who have gone IN
the front In all parts of these nine
countries clothing is piled up by the
millions of tons.
In one great warehouse which [
recently visited, and whose location
| cannot name, held two millions of
pairs of shoes for soldiers. There
were at least million pairs having
wooden soles. These were for work
ers and prisoners. have seen enough
of tinware made for army use to fin
every store in Des Moines.
These warning nations appear to
have plenty of money and they are
spending it. There is no complaint
in regard to getting supplies except;
ing in Great Britain. The Germans
say that Great Britain does not need
to make ammunition for the reason
that they are buying it in the United
States, but this is the common accusa-
ton against our people.
If these battles are to be won by
the countries having the biggest sup
plies of war materials, then the strug-
gle is an industrial one as well as a
military enterprise.

Making Shells.

This is not done for any military
reason but simply because the ma
chinery Of the particular shop was
specially suited for boring out the
steel shells. A shell for the rs"
gun, when loaded and ready for the
enemy costs the government of
France $3.50. The steel part of the
detonator alone costs 80 cents. The
entire shell when completed is about
the size of quart bottle. The
greatest care must be taken in the
manufacture of thse shells, especially
the top part, which is made of the
finest steel the depth of the tube,
the thickness Of the steel must be
exact. Otherwise the explosion might
be late in happening. Every Shell
is carefully inspected, measured and
examined by experts in the shop. This
is followed by examinations by gov
ernment experts. Every shell is
cleaned and oiled and carefully pack
ed. There are men in the shop busy
designing new machinery for the man.

the manufacturer does not have to

he needs money to make improve

and that France has been wise enough
to cut out absinth, which has been
almost national drink of France.
The British newspapers are appeal
ing in manly ways to the shop work
ers to run their machines early and
late in order to grind out the combus-
tibles for the use of the artillery.
1t is difficult to understand the sit
uation in Great Britain, The upper
classes are loyal; they are laying
down their lives on every battlefield.
The young soons of nobility are in
the trenches. They are standing by
their government. The women gem
orally are loyal. They are urging
men to go to the front, but the appeal
for ammunition appears to fall on
deaf ears.
French Factories Busy.
| presume every factory, large or
small in France is running night and
day making cartridges and shells
There are no troubles with the work
| ers. In France there is compulsory
military service, and if young man
refuses to run the lathe in the shop
turning out shells, they send him TO
the front with musket. Hence there
is not trouble in getting him to run
the lathe.
| If little factory has a glass sky
light it is covered over with tho
matching out of which roofs are made
in order that the German Zeppelines
may not know just where the shops
are located which are engaged in
making combustibles. A few days
ago l visited one shop where shells
are being made for the celebrated 75'
gun and they were turning out 5000
shells per day.
The shop was not built for the
manufacture of ammunition but fol
a wholly different purpose But the
machines were changed to suit tn,
emergency.
Every lathe was running, every mar
or boy on duty. The workers were
generally those who were TOGO young

Prisoners at Work.
This party proceeded from Paris to
Tours March 30. At that place they
found German prisoners of war work
ing alongside French soldiers who
had charge of them. They were un-
loading supplies for the French army.
Their work was in a large building
erected for railway purposes. 1t was
bright, clean place to work and in
it there were equipments for 100000
men. When not at work the German
prisoners are quite well housed, some
of them in buildings and some in
tents. There are 600 prisoners in
this camp; few of them are in regu-
lar army tents.
The prisoners are given plenty of
substantial food, including brown
bread. For time they were given
the regular white bead, but they pre-
ferred the coarse brown bread which
is more nourishing.
For breakfast they have plenty of
black coffee with barley in it, the
barley being put in at their own re-
quest because the coffee was too
strong.
At II a. m. they have meat soup
and vegetables.
At 5 p. m. they have meat soup
and vegetables again. Their meat ra-
ton is the same as the meat ration
given by Germany to French soldiers
held as prisoners and has lately been
reduced to correspond with the re-
duction made in Germany. But one
prisoner complained of not having
enough to eat and he was the finest
looking boy in the lot.
Finds the Food Good.
| looked at the food and passed
judgment upon it pronouncing it
good. After tasting the bread and
soup pronounced it wholesome. The
day of our inspection was cold and in
clement. For that reason we observ-
ed everything in regard to comfort
The fact is the prisoners are general
ly the custodians of their own COM
fort. They are usually given every
facility, and if they do not do so il
is their own fault. Only five men
were found in the hospital and one
man had lately been sent away to a
general hospital. am quite sure
the prisoners at Tours have no cause
for complaint. Ne
The German prisoners were well
dressed, fully as we'll dressed as the
French soldiers who were taking caie
of them. In the warehouses we were
shown clothing intended for the Ger
man prisoners when the weather
grows warmed. In our entire jour-
ney we saw no German prisoner who
did not wear good, comfortable cloth
ing.
The next day we visited the prisons
at Chateauroux and Issoudun. At
there are many French
and the place would seem to
be the headquarters Of French divi-
sion At Issoudun we found q great
big barracks built of brick, standing
three stories high. It is an immense
affair and is surrounded by ample
grounds for drilling. 1t has been used
FOR military purposes for the best
part Of a century.
