There is a possibility that the treaty

How to Work
the Problem

Each round black dot in
the puzzle chart is supposed
to represent a post, the dot
ted lines show the way in
which the posts may be con-
nected.
Briefly, the problem is to
connect as many of the posts
as possible with a barbed

scented by the line which you
draw in such a manner as
to form an ENHANCEMENT.
In connecting the posts, you
may start at any point, but
the dotted lines must be fol-

must be arranged so that a

supplies thru lack or tonnage.
The U-boat menace is not un-
derestimated by the U. S. govern
ment.
There is not the slightest fear
that Germany can win thru her
sea scavengers, but there is ap-
preciated the need for very So
rious consideration of the most
effective way to meet the situa-
ton created.
The British shipping ministry
yesterday called upon this coun-
try for six million tons annually.
This figure cannot be realized be-
fore late in 1918, or early in
1919, it is officially admitted.
After this period has passed,
however, it is stated the United
States should be able to produce
six million tons annually.
For every American soldier
transported, his weight in supplies
must be sent over every 80 days.
Ammunition, food, everything
needed by the Sammy mus go
from this side for there Is not
more than sufficient to supply the
Tommy and the Poilu now over
there.
Thus, it is argued, there is
strong reason for training and
equipping great army on this
side of the Atlantic but holding up
its marching orders until vast
amounts of supplies now vital Ia
the allied fighting cause, are
moved.

is THIS MAN A STACKER?
(Special to The Times.)

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. ZS.
The recent arrest here of Jesse
F. Tingstrom, accused of being a
Stacker, has uncovered one of the
strangest tangles that has yet
come to light in connection with
the selective service law.
1.-THE Law of Love and the Laws
of Men are different" said Jesse
F. Tingstrom, sitting disconsolate
in the county Jail here.
Uncle Sam calls me a coward,
a Stacker, man who has tried
to dodge the draft-me with four
years good service to my credit in
the navy.
why, man, l enlisted because
/ thought we were going to have
war with Japan! And l received
my honorable discharge with
recommendation as heavy gun
pointer; l scored eight hits out
OF ten shots in 63 seconds in
sea with a four degree roll. And
now they call me coward"
What Would You Do?
Jesse Tingstrom turned on his
interviewer:

have done under similar circum-
stances? There was the woman
and the kid.

right of love, and the scratch

married, only her folks busted US

by her parents, she had married
in the meantime, and her husband
had deserted her here.
