BY NEWTON D. BAKER,
U. S. Secretary of War.
Written Especially for Day Book)
What can the ordinary man or
woman in civil life do now to heIp?"
Modern war has demonstrated
thoroughly that the entire national
life must be modified for service to
assure success. Other wars have
been waged by uniformed armies, but
this one is being fought by pOpula-
lions. No longer are conflicts won
and lost merely by soldiers and sail
Ors.
The struggle has been extended to
the machine shop, the factory, the
arsenal, the powder plant, the mill,
the handle of the pillow. In modern
war every unit of the nation must be
utilized for the nation.
The efficiency Of the system will
depend upon the coordination of all
elements with the general purpose of
transforming the mighty potential
ties Of peace into the irresistible pow
er Of war 1t is the duty of the gov
eminent at such a time to co-ordi-
nate the man to his place. It is no
longer safe to follow the haphazard
volunteer methods Of the past. A Sc
lective process is essential to victory.
The girding of the nation for war
will proceed along three main lines
MILITARY, INDUSTRY and RE
LIEF. In the general plan and along
one or the other of these three OUT
lets there is a place for every loyal
heart.
For some the opportunity is open
today and should be seized. Many
will find it through recruiting sta
lions, many through the doors of
offices or factories or hospitals, or on
farms or back yards; others through
the work of their hands or brains or
money in the line of their daily tasks.

written Especially for Day Book.)
How can best serve my country?
This sentiment, repeated in nearly
every one of the letters and tele-
grams reaching me hourly, makes it
plain that the desire to serve in the
most effective way is Uppermost in
the mind of every American man or
woman,
There is work for all. Men of mil
itary age who are physically fit can
best serve the navy by enlisting in
the active service. Let them help re-
cruit the navy to war strength by
enlisting themselves.
Let those who cannot enlist tell
those who can that their navy needs
them. Tell them to enlist now, be-
cause before they can serve efficient
ly they must be trained. That takes
months, and by the time they are
ready new ships will be in need of
crews.
Mechanics who have had any eXpe-
rience in modern shipbuilding should
get in touch with the navy depart
ment. Men are needed by hundreds
to push to completion ships under
construction. Tell any shipbuilding
mechanic not now employed on ships
that he owes it to his country to help
build and repair its fleet.
All cannot serve in the first line. It
is essential to the success of our
fighting forces that there shall be no
interruption in the food supply nor
in the products of certain industries. .
Those thus exempted, as well as
those unable to serve, can aid in.

How Every American Can Help

President Wilson has issued an Address to all the American
people. 1.-THE supreme test of the Nation has come" he said; 1--WE
must all speak, act and serve together"
Putting the Navy on q war footing and raising a great Army,
the President declared, are the simplest parts Of the great task.
Here are the principal points of the Address:
America must furnish food and all other war supplies, not only
for herself, but for all the nations at war with Germany.
Owe must supply ships to carry all kinds of material across the
ocean, defying submarines.
3-People who devote "their energy to these things will be serving
the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom as
effectively as the men in the trenches. The industrial forces of
the country will be a great international service army-the eff
Gent saviors of free men everywhere"
4-"Upon the farmers of this country in large measure rests the
fate of the war;"
5-The country expects %middlemen and merchants to forego unus-
ual profits.

Counting the Salmon.

The Wood river In Alaska has been
closed to fishing for many years and
is resorted to for breeding purposes by
red salmon escaping the nets in Nusha-
gak bay. The counting Of the salmon
was first undertaken in 1908 and has
been continued annually since that
time except in 1914.
The counting Is made possible by
throwing a rack acros the stream and
compelling the fish TO pass through a
narrow gate. where they are easily Wis
ible to persons Immediately above.
Agents of the fisheries bureau in relays
are kept on duty day and night for the
entire period Of the run. and the tally
is kept by an automatic counting de-
vice manipulated by hand.
The highest count for any n day in
recent a was q .554.-New York
