y. S. AS PRODUCING POWER
GIVEN THE HIGHEST PLACE
w. s. Clifford Urges That America
Be Organized as Machine
to Win the War.

Declaring that this nation possesses
more producing resources than any
other two nations in the world, W. S.
Clifford. director of the council Of ma :
tional defense and OF its advisory
commission. today made an Independ-
ence day statement. in which he urged
that America be organized as a pro-
ducing machine to win the war.
Individual initiative and self-re-
lance are normally developed in a de-
mocracy to a higher degree than in any
other form Of government he said
Peoples and institutions have grown
under the spur of competition and
freedom Of action. so that we are noted
for our Individual efficiency and enter
prise. An army must obviously be
highly organized and subject to dis
cipline. Individual efforts no matter
how great. must be organized so as to
work for a common purpose If they are
to be effective. Not alone team work,
but a voluntary acceptance Of discipline
perative.
I'VE do not wish to Prussianize
America, but each Of us must volun-
tarily submit to the rules and regula-
tions of organization in order that we
may build up fighting industries which.
with their voluntary discipline, will
stand side by side in efficiency with
our fighting armies. The time has come
when we must sink the individual in
an organization Of which the keynote
will be the highest efficiency. the spirit
will be patriotic unselfishness and
se1f-sacrtfice, and the accomplishment
will be the realization Of democracy in
the speedy termination of the war"

The United States is rich in all

available in the right time and in the
right way? We can answer that ques-
ton in but one way. We face the
problem. and we will find the answer"
According to Mr.. Scott. the problem
which faces America is this. I'VE must
analyze our task, coordinate our ef-
forts. standardize our needs. economic
in our methods and then produce, pro-
duce, produce.
Munitions today are more than guns
and powder. they are the entire re-

Instruments to- see at ranges which the

NORWOOD WINS AGAIN.
His Pigeon the First in the Race
From Chicago to This City.

Walter o. Norwood, whose name Is
emblazoned on the scroll Of honor by
winning both the classic interclty races
last month, added further distinction
to his name by winning the longest
race of the season. Four local cham
pions sent their birds to Chicago last
week, and they were released on June
25 by Bard Hamilton. Shortly there
after heavy transforms were encoun-
tered. and it Is for this reason that the
first arrival was delayed until June 20,
winning over its nearest competitor by
three clear days. Elmon C. Koch re-
porting the next arrival yesterday.
Norwood has very appropriately
named his champion Morning Glory.
She has never failed him, and when
ever the distance was too great to be
accomplished in the day she was al
ways awaiting to greet him on his
opening the loft in the morning. In
1914 she few over LOO miles In races
alone, and 1915 more than 1900, in
in the 100. 200. 800, both 400 and both

Her total distance is about 5000 miles,
which gives her distinction all her
