The, following notices have been
printed In red ink on the menu cards
of the larger Matson steamers, calling
the attention Of the public to the COM

warning: 49,.
The supreme need OF our. nation
and Of all the nations with which we
are cooperating is an abundance OF
supplies; and especially foodstuffs, this
is the time for America to correct her
objectionable fault Of wastefulness and
extravaganza"

exhausted, 4 the submarine situation
continues, to ask for more. As to the
method for spending the money, II
was decided TO organise corporation

eminent. General Goethais was In

few weeks before the new submarine
campaign began and the critical need
for more ships became apparent
Back TO Bath and Portland
When the shipping board put its
mind on the problem of getting more
ships Il was confronted by q grave
check. All the shIpbuilding plants
In the United States were already as
busy a. their resources would permit
on the building Of steel ships which
had been planned months before and
which would take many months yet
TO complete. Moreover, in 90 far as
the government should go into the
building Of ships, there was~the navy
TO be considered. The country had
adopted o policy Of naval expansion
that would strain the resources Of
the government plants and consume
any additional capacity that might be
found. There was, and 10, the need
for fighting ships to destroy subma'
rines, a. well as commercial ships 10
sup2lant what they destroy.
Boston Man Devised Plan
Just at this moment there came
a Boston engineer aad business man.
Mr.. F. A. Eustis. Mr.. Eustis had.
partly in the way Of his business,
and partly with an eye on the nation
oil emergency, assembled all the facts
about the possibility of building
wooden ships. He had discovered
that there were still In existence q
good many Of the old plants which
once made the great American fleet
II wooden vessels He knew that
other plants for the building OF wood
en- ships could be put together much
more quickly than plants TOR the
building Of steel ships. He had Assem-.
bled all the facts with regard to en-
gines and the other equipment for
wooden ships. Ee found that there
was In the country at that time, about
the LIST Of March, establishments for
building wooden ships as follows: On
the Atlantic and Gulf Coast, twenty.
seven establishments with ninety
seven vessels building; on the Pacific
coast, twenty establishments with
sixty-four VESSELS building. He had
worked out plans by which, he be-
lieYed, with the aid of the government
in securing coordination Of labor and
supplies, q large addition Of wooden
ships could be made to our tonnage.
'sThe reception which Mr.. Eustis'
idea received was characteristic Of
the present spirit at Washington. His
plans were examined sympathe ticaliy
and were submitted 70 such experts as

promises to be real event of the war

triotic note will be seen not only in the
decorations of the room but also in the
wheatless refreshments served at the
end Of the evening IS play. The games
chosen for the party are auction and
whist. Players will pivot rather than
progress an arrangement which will
be conducive to intermittent play and
make possible as much or as little
play as the various guests may desire.
The details Of the party have been care
fully worked out by members of the
committee, who are confident that the
function will be one of the most enjoy
able affairs of it's kind ever given in
Kenosha. The proceeds from the enter
tainment will be used to pay for Lib
erty Bond purchased by the Junior
League during the course of the last
campaign for government funds.

Red Cross Fire
None Will Be Neglected.

The local Red Cross chapter is rap
idly completing the work of filling
Thanksgiving boxes for Kenosha men
in camp and is confident that the con-
signment of 'fTurkey Day Dainties -
will be ready for shipment the early
part of next week. This will insure a
safe arrival of the baked-meats at the
various cantonments in time for the an
nual November feast and thereby make
the holiday memorable occasion for
the boys at war. In order that none
of the Sammies may be neglected, Of
ficials of the local association are re-
questing that people with relatives or
friends in the service of Uncle Sam at
points other than Waco and Battle
Creek leave their names and addresses
at the local headquarters and in tbs
way make it possible for them to share
in the Thanksgiving /" extras" provided
for Kenosha's soldiers.
