UNCLE SAM BUYS WELL
Cuts Cost Of Feeding His Sailors
While Prices Soar.
Result Is Obtained Largely by Requlr'
Ing Competitive Bids on Every
Item In Provision Contracts.

In these days when the price OF pro-
visions Is advancing, It may be inter-
estlng to know that Uncle sam solves
the problem Of giving to,the man be-
hind the guns all the food he needs
without making too heavy n drain on
the public treasury.
Since the outbreak OF the war IN
Europe the cost Of provisions general
ly has steadily increased and yet, ac-
cordlng to the navy department, the
average cost of subslstng one man per
day in our navy has, for the first three
quarters of 'the fiscal year 1916
dropped more than three-quarters OF Il
cent from the average for the fiscal
wear ended June 80, 1914. This would
mean net saving cost Of foodstulfs Of
about 100000 In the subsistence of the
navy in spite Of the increased cost OF
foodstuffs, due to war conditions.
If. as Indicated by official records,
prices OF provisions have advanced on
the average of 10 per cent since the
outbreak Of the war; this would mean Il
comparative lesser cost for subsis;lng
the navi during the fiscal year 1916
Of something like a half million dol
lars.
Department officials think that one
of the great factors ia thus reducing
!he cost of subsistence was nm order
promulgated in August, 1914, by the
secretary, requiring that no provision
roqu.sition would thereafter call for
any proprietary article, any food sub
SHtute or any other item on which pub
llc competition could not be had.
Therefore, in lieu Of prepared foods
md food substitutes, the men are now
supplied with fresh provisions, which,
whenever practicable, include season
fruits and vegetables; and, with the
modern equipment installed on board
qaval vessels, good end wholesome
food is prepared on the ships from the
raw material. The result is that the
daily bill of fare in the fleet is at least
MS good ms, If not indeed superior to,
that Of the average home on shore.
Improvement in the purchasing sys-
TEN Is also in a measure responsible
for the decreased cost of subsistence.
The first step toward reform along
these lines was the passage by con-
grcss of the requirement that all pro-
vision contracts be awarded, item by
item, to the lowest bidder on each;
whereas formerly different kinds Of
provisions were grouped into classes
and the lowest bidder on each class
was given the contract for that class.
As the quantities were estimated only,
this system enabled contractors, by
balancing their bids, to sell one tniES
and deliver another, or to initiate the
purchase price without danger Of dis
cOvery.

Forest Notes


u5rom the United States Forest 5ervice)
One ton Of coniferous wood waste
will produce from ID to 25 gallons OF
1JO-proof alcohol
The farm woodlots of the United
States contain about 10 per cent Of the
total standing timber in the country.
Grazing experts Of the forest service
estimate that the cost Of producing
lambs in the northwestern states is
$1.S2 per head.
The stand Of timber on the two
great national forests in Alaska is csti-
mated by the forest service as over
7OOOO,OOO,OOO board feet, while the an
nual growth will, it is said, produce of
pulpwood alone enough for the manu-
facture Of 1900 tons Of wood pulp a
day.
Oak is the most suitable wood for
carving, on account OF its durability
and toughness, without being too hard.
Chestnut, American walnut, mahogany
and teak are also desirable while for
fine work Italian walnut, lime, syca-
more, apple, pear or plum are gener-
ally chosen.

s. HE KEPT US out Of war"
IL is offered by the Demo-
cratic Party as a statement Of
supreme accomplishment. That
slogan is false. To accept it with
out thought or reason is danger
Gus to the life Of the nation.
For months we have been con-
Quoting a border war with Mexico.
At Vera Cruz we demanded that
our flag be saluted. The demand
was refused. We landed troops; a
battle followed. We withdretD
Without the salute, bringing
nineteen ofour dead Nth us and
leaving our honor behind; and
to this day the salute demanded
has not been fired.
The weakness Of Mexico, not the
strength Of the United States, is
all that has prevented our act Of
war from being turned into the Sc
rious fact Of war.
If the slaughter Of American citi-
zens-men, women and children
by armed troops, if the killing of
American soldiers by the soldiers
of another nation, if the sacking
of our towns is not war, what is it?
The Judge Advocate General of
our army says it is war. The Mex
leans say it is war. Wilson's
acts show it is war, but Wilson's
Uoice says it is peace.
The Truth is that it is more than
war. 1t is war without honor and
murder without reparation. It's
"a condition that makes every
true citizen ashamed of the
spectacle De haze become in the
eyes of other nations.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-10-30

1t was the accident of war in
Europe which then prevented retri-
button for the policies Of the admin
istration in Mexico.
When the war is o0er those
nations tOiN again press their
claims and Ue viN face the con-
sequences of the Wilson policy
Of 1Oatchful soaiting.
Have we sunk SO low that we can
approve such policy2 Have we
become 50 morally flabby that we
will tolerate it's continuance?
This administration has created
war. 1t has created causes for
future serious international friction.
Notes and words and shades
Of meaning, born of rhetoric
rather than straightforward pa
triotic sincerity, haze marked
the course of our relations ,Oith
foreign nations.
Force Of character, a fair and
honorable course, would haveclosed
thedebatewhich faciliGy Of language
kept open. Force Of character
would have stopped murder on the
high sea.
Does the low estate into which
we vefallen among nations make
a foundation upon which to build
prestige for this country or safety
and moral staminaforour children?
1t is our tradition to honorably
keep out of war but not to spine
lessly creep into war.
Mr.. Wilson has not kept us out
Of war. Mr., Wilson has put us
into war.
Mr.. Wilson is making var

ton.

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-10-30

Wilson'S course vitalized civilwar
in Mexico and border war with us.
Thevacillating and irresolute policy
Of the present administration has
brought humiliation upon this
country, both at home and abroad.
We have been at war; we are now
at war; many lives have been lost;
our honor has been besmirched, and
yet the Democratic Party cries to
the nation He kept US out Of war;"
He has protected me and mine"
Thefactisthathe has neglected our
greatest treasures lives of our
citizens and the honor of our coun-
try.
1t is the world war in Europe,
not the acts Of the Wilson admins
tration, which has kept us out of
international complications that
would have sorely tried our courage,
and our strength.
Just prior TO the outbreak of
the war there was forming a
combination of European nations
to demand of us that .Oe stop
the disorder in Mexico, to de-
ma1d protection of the EUes and
Oast property of European citi-
zens IN Mexico, to declare that
these European nations u0ould
giUe protection by force of arms
If We did not.
What would that have meant?
1t would have meant that we must
adopt determined policy to en-
force order in Mexico, which was
the only duty consistent with the
stewardship which we assumed I'm
der the Monroe Doctrine; or it
would have meant war or the sur
render Of the Monroe Doctrine.
