HUGE BUILDINGS FOR
OFFICES AT WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 5.-One of the
manifold problems presented by the
war is that of furnishing adequate
office accommodations for the thou
sands of additional officials, clerks
and other federal servants who are
pouring into Washington. The gov
ernment is exercising its prerogative
in this direction and has command
eered conveniently located Office
buildings and apartment houses with
a free hand. In addition, it is erect
ing huge temporary structures for
use as offices, and in the building Of
these contractors are breaking time
records for construction work. A
building to house the six hundred Of
ficials and clerks of the Council of
National Defense, containing more
than 100000 square feet of floor
space, was erected and fully equipped
in fifty-three days. Similar buildings
nearby are for the use of the forces
of the food administration, fuel ad-
ministration and army ordnance.
Work is well under way on a mann
moth structure which will cover three
city blocks to house the overflow Of
the war and navy departments, the
contract for which calls for compile
tion in four months.
By these methods the government
keeps in advance of its actual needs.
At the present rate of increase the
usual $4,000 federal employees in
Washington will be more than dou-
bIed if the war continues another
year. Workers of all kinds are be-
ing appointed, stenographers and
typewriters and drafts men for the
service generally, and what are known
as schedule clerks, index and catalog
clerks, clerks qualified in statistics ol
accounting, and clerks qualified in
business administration for the ord
nance department of the army, being
in great demand.
Representative of the federal Evil
service commission at the postofices
in all cities are the official recruiting
agents for the great civilian army, an
army of a half million behind the
men behind the guns.

SEMINOLE MOTOR co.
HAS NEW MAXWELL IN
Manager Harry Lee Enthusiastic
Over Business Prospects

Manager Harry Lee Enthusiastic
Over Business Prospects
The new 1918 Maxwells have arriv-
ed and are now on display at the
Seminole Motor Company's show
rooms on Main street. The cars are
simply wonderful, and Harry Lee, the
manager of the company, is delighted
with them. They have new and more
attractive body lines, and the springs
are longer and of the underslung
type, which give them an exceptional
ease for riding.
The wheel base is six inches longer,
and a new device has been added
which makes it impossible to engage
the starter while the engine is run
ming, which adds much to the cars
fine qualities. With these new feat
ures the car is one of the most attrac-
tice on the market today. Manager
Harry Lee is enthusiastic over them
and says that there will be more new
Maxwells about now than ever before.

INTENDS To
TAKE THEM ALL
'PusillanimOus Scruples" Will Not
Hinder Germany's Oversee
Plans

London-( Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-Germany must
not be hindered by "pusillanimous
scruples" in taking what she wants
for the establishment of a colonial
empire in America and elsewhere
overseas, declares the Program" of
the German Colonial Society as trans
lated by the British African Society.
The German society believes the
treaty of peace should provide such
an empire for Germany in South Am
erica.
The German Colonial Society has
$50 branches in Germany, and is
headed by w. S. Solf, the German col
onial secretary, the Duke of Mecklen-
burg, and DIR. Bernhard Dernburg. It's
Program" is kind of colonial creed
for the German Empire. 1t demands
that any peace settlement must,
above all, provide Germany with ade-
quate territories capable of white
colonization. The three main points
are:
First, an adequate outlet for Ger
man emigration and German white in
dustrial activity; second, stepping
stones across the Atlantic and Indian
oceans, to the New Germany over
seas; third, the restoration of Ger
many's tropical and sub-tropical col
onies." One of the sub-sections also
demands Suitable strategic points in
the Pacific"
The preamble says: "Extra-Euro-
pean and colonial possessions are in
dispensable, whether regarded ethnic-
ally, politically, economically, o. eth
ically. The German people desire to
be, as heretofore, mountaineering
people, with the German Empire as a
great power.
"a colonial empire essentially Af-
rican should not suffice us. Besides
fleet, the military and economic Sc
curity of our foreign and colonial
territory requires the possession of
strategic points, notably a sufficient
number of coaling stations, submarine
cables and telegraphs, and fortifca-
tions as required.
"The available coaling and cable
stations on the route to South Amer
lea and the African colonies are the
Portuguese Canary Islands, the Por-
tugese Cape Verde Islands, the Por-
tugese islands in the bights of West
Africa, British st. Helena, and the
British West Indies, protecting the
route to Panama and South America.
1t is noted that the demands outlined
in this respect cover almost exclus-
lively territories which have never
been under German control, and
which, in order to meet this program,
must spell changes of sovereignty on
a very large scale" But, explains
the program, "the great needs of
Germany and her allies require the
possession of a great colonial empire,
and it means the not being handered
by pusillanimous scruples, the more
so because a favorable opportunity
will not recur for many long day."

WORK AND NEEDS
OF THE RED CROSS

The war council of the American
Red Cross has appropriated $31 PIP
to buy seventy-fve tons of food for
food is to be forwarded to the Red
Cross warehouse at Berne, Switzer-
land, pending its need by American
prisoners. At present the number of
American prisoners in German pris-
on camps consists only of about 100
seamen. Twenty-Five tons of food
for their relief, enough to sustain
have been sent to Berne up to this
time, and this authorized order for
seventy-five tons will insure their sus-
tenance for an additional nine months
or will suffice for larger number for
a shorter period.
Soldiers and sailors captured by
the Central Powers are not provided
by their captors with sufficient food
to keep them in good health, nor with
sufficient clothing, so these necessi-
ties must be provided from home, and
in view of this condition, the Amer
lean Red Cross, and the United States
government is preparing to feed all
American soldiers and sailors who
may be taken prisoners by Germany
during the war. A complete scheme
for sustaining prisoners is now being
worked out jointly by the war and
navy departments and the American
Red Cross, which will be the agency
through which the American prison
ers will be reached.
Under the proposed plan of feed
ing American prisoners in Germany,
each prisoner is to receive, in the
course of every two weeks, three ten
pound packages, containing proper
and sufficient rations to keep him in
good health for that length of time.
1t is expected that sufficient food to
sustain considerable number of
men for several months will have
been accumulated in Berne before the
American troops begin active service
on the fighting front.
Already the navy department has
shipped 100 outfits of clothing for the
interned seamen in Germany, and the
quartermaster generals department,
85 cases of clothing for soldiers and
interned civilians. Foodstuffs, so far
provided, have been purchased by the
American Red Cross, but the furnish
ing of necessary rations is to be at
tended to by the government as soon
as detailed plans for prisoner relief
work are perfected.
Under existing arrangements with
the German government food and
clothing for American prisoners are
sent in bulk to a neutral country and
there repacked by agents of the Am
erican Red Cross in standard contain
ers. In charge of this work at Berne
is Ellis L. Dresel, who, before the
war, was attached to the American
embassy at Berlin. He is now a
member of the staff of the American
legation at Berne, and his experience
has well qualified him for the super.
intending of prisoner relief work fol

CHRISTMAS PACKETS FOR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

One million of these packets will
probably be required. The number
allotted to your chapter is $50. This
allotment is based to some extent on
the number of members in your
chapter.
Chapters will be requested to turn
over these packets to the division
supply warehouses for distribution
rather than direct to any particular
camp or cantonment or company of
men. A scheme will be worked out
under which the various division
branch warehouses will re-ship these
packets:
/. To certain points for foreign
shipment to naval vessels.
2. To camps and other naval sta,
tions in other sections of the country
where chapters are not so numerous.
8. To nearby camps, cantonments
and naval stations.
These shipments are to be in pro-
portion, to be determined in good time
before the packets are being received
at the division warehouses. Please
see that approximately one-third of
your allotment is in the division
warehouse not later than Noe. 18th so
as to give time to ship them abroad.
We sincerely hope that you will
see that this matter is Immediately
brought before your chapter as time
is short and we want EVERY BOY
IN THE SERVICE to receive a
Christmas packet and we don't want
a single one overlooked. We realize
this is short notice but we ask your
cooperation to make this a success.
Guy E. Snavely,
Director, Bureau of Development of
Southern Division A r. C.
The Marion County Chapter, Am
erican Red Cross, will appreciate con-
tributions of packets or parts of a
packet. Please send same to Miss
Alice Bullock, the chairman of the
general supply committee, before
November 18th.
