 The preparations for this move ment have been under way for sey- eral weeks, and it was to have been started simultaneously with the re cent French offensive, but it was de iayed on account of severe weather. It is hailed as the opening of the big spring offensive on all allied fronts.

 To the morr hant, let me suggest the motto of small profits and quick service and to the shipbuldcr the thought that the life of the war ac- ponds upaa h!m. Foaa and var 5up- plies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be sup piled and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does. The work of the world waits on him. and if he slackens or fails, the armies and . the statesmen are helpless He is also enlisted in the great service of the army. Every one who creates or cult.yates gardens, helps and helps greatly 10 solve the problem of feed. ing the nations and every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation.
 In the hope that this statement will show the needs of the nation and of the world, in this hour of supreme crisis, may it stimulate those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminding of the solemn duties of a time such as the world has never seen before.

Among those who are now at the officers training camp at Presidio, which is located in the suburbs of this city, are Grover Ac- COTS, Jesse c. Burdet, Vim. H. CoOmbs, Chester Morris, Roy V. Craig, Robert J. Sheppard, Louis M Zellermayer, F. Ward and R l.. Bradford. These men are all resi- dents of Juneau.
 The camp at Presido is taxed to the utmost to accommodate all the applicants, who come from Wash ington, Oregon, California and other western states. The work is pro gressng satisfactorily, and the men are showing great determination and a vast amount of enthusiasm in any thing connected with their work
 Reports received here from ali over the country indicate that the same conditions prevail at every training camp. There is a camp for each department of the army, and fully the specified number of 10000 men are undergoing a course of intensive training in them.
 There will be no shortage of off cers when the work of whipping the new American army into shape begins. A high percentage of the applicants will undoubtedly qualify for commissions. As only about 10000 officers will be necessary for the first increment, those who have made the best records and show I the most aptitude for the work will be chosen. A large number of na- tional guardsmen and non commis- stoned officers from the regular army will also be given commissions in ! the new army.

FOOD GAMBLERS TRY TO DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May IL A big sensation was sprung in ofi- cial and legislative circles here to- night when Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Nrooman issued a state ment charging the food spectators of the country with dastardly at tempt to defeat the proposed legis- lation empowering the President to deal with the food situation. He de cIares that there is d strong orga- nIzed lobby in Washington that is heavily financed, doing everything in it's power to prevent the govern mcnt from securing legislation au- thorIzing it to deal with food epecu- lators. giving it supervision of pro duction and distribution. These men. he declared, were ready to hold up the entire nation and make profits off of America during war that is without parallel,
 Every European nation now en- gagged in the war has the power. he stated, and 1t has proven to be the salvation of every country. No other effective means have been found to deal with this situation. It is abso. lutely necessary that President Will son be given this same power dur ing the war, he said. If it is not given him, there will be food short ages, and possibly food riots. The suffering among the poorer classes will be aggravated, and it will be next to impossible to feed American armies in the field.
