CAMP MCCLELLAN, Admission, Ala,
Nov i9.-Measles have developed In va
rious sections Of the cantonment and
the patients have been sent to the base
hospital for care and treatment. Il was
stated at headquarters today that the
epidemic has been checked One OF
the New Jersey soldiers died yesterday
at the division base hospital from ty-
phoid fever Some other men are in
with the same disease but their con-
dition is not serious. The outbreak OF
the fever is not thought to be serious
and IN view Of the fact that there are
so many men here the number Of cases
is surprisingly small.
Governor Edge, Of New Jersey, was
In camp yesterday and reviewed the
troops. IL is understood Governor John
C. Townsend, Jr. Of Delaware, has been
invited TO pay this cantonment visit
and 10 review the regiments which are
made up largely Of the Delaware boys
but whether he has accepted is not
known. The Delaware men because OF
their previous training are among the
finest looking lot Of boys in the camp.

SAYS NEWSPAPER WRITERS
ARE some OF wars HEROES

Abraham Rose, a Philadelphia lawyer,
addressed the Y. NJ. II. A. last evening on
Newspapers and the War;" Mr.. Rose,
who before entering the legal profess
sion was a newspaper writer, related
in the beginning of his talk the exper-
fences newspapermen have to go
through IN the course Of their work,
some Of which were thrilling and no
less comical, and paid a high tribute to
the reporter as a public servant in
bringing out to the public that which
the public is after and in doing IL
promptly. He then passed into a delinea-
ton Of the part the newspaper man
played. and Is SIN playing, on the bat
tlenelds Of Europe in that respect he
paid high tribute to the newspaper
men who lost their lives in the course
OF their duties THE first TO get TO
the scene" he said, 1.-THE. reporter IS
the last TO leave the scene OF action,
and often times they fall the victims
OF the battle.
The program opened with a piano
selection by Miss Sybl Brand who did
credit to herself in a diflcult and artis-
tically performed number. A vocal solo
by Ralph Saltzman, accompanied by Mis-,
Reba Ginns, followed.

Germans SUSPECTED

Before Spring
BREAD RATION
AGAIN REDUCED

COPENHAGEN, Nov. i9-The view
that the German authorities are pur-
suing a policy Of blum at the present
time in granting food allowances con-
siderably higher than are justified by
the crops Of the year is seemingly con-
trmed by the recent food debates in the
prussian Diet II was stated I'm these
debates that It probably would be
necessary to reduce both the meat and
bread rations March 4, in order to make
the stocks last through.
The head ration already has been re-
duced once, and the extent Of the wheat
ana rye crops, it is considered, I'M
oouhtedly will necessitate another
heavy reduction in the spring. It was
stated IN the debates that the longer the
/ REDUCTION was postponed the more
drastic would be the cut.
, Inc laboring classes generally are
complaining that the present potafo
allowance OF pound a dav Is made

The food authorities, according to al

hopes on the results Of Russian an

FARMS FOR Soldiers
IS HARDINC'S Plan
Ohio Senator Would Have
All Acres Made
Profitable
GUARANTEES
PROFIT TO ALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. i9.-Every Amer
lean soldier, when he returns from the
war, will be given an opportunity to
become the owner Of a farm, according
to legislative plans now being whipped
into shape by Senator Warren @.
Harding, Of Ohio. The plan involves
the Governments acting as a real estate
agent to get farm development COM
panies and the soldiers together, the
Government guaranteeing certain max
imum profits. BY this method. Senator
Harding says, millions of acres Of idle
land in this country can be made pro-
ductive
Every Thoughtful man realizes" said
Senator Harding, that the proper dis
tributlon Of land is the very basis of
national well-being. The land should
as far as possible, be in the possession
nd ownership Of the man who works
|n. A nation OF owners Of small farms
which support sturdy families is tlfe
ideal. The magnincence Of France when
the supreme test came has been due
largely to the sturdy folk on her farms
The weakness Of England, the inability
OF that nation to feed herself, the slums
Of London have been admittedly caused
by the ownership Of land by the few.
I'm the United States the drift Of the
people to the cities, the drift Of farms
into operation by tenant farmers, into
ownership in large acreage by absent
landlords, has been recognized as dan.
gerous tendency Of the times out Of
this war Will grow many new demand:
from the people The man on the street
will appreciate his rights more clearl,
and Will be more ready to demand
them. Among his probable demands
will be his right to the land.
in the United States there are vas
quantities of farming land near the hes
markets which are not cultivated; il
all, 50O,OO0,OO0 acres lying idle, TO sa,
nothing of that which is inadequatel.
farmed.
There is no proper agency to brinl
this land and the men together. Their
is only the land agent, whose name ha
often become one Of reprOach. TIL
| Government should see to it that tn
land is available at fair prices Their
is plenty of available capital that il
ready for investment III that land
proper arrangement is made for its de
velopment and sale IL prabably vii

EXPLAINS Gods Plan
FOR WORLD REDEMPTION

The old, old story, which is on the
other hand the newest and freshest
topic in the category Of subjects, form
ed the main theme in the services OF
yesterday at West Presbyterian
Church. At the morning service the
Rev. u. Franklin Smiley, D. D., preach
ed on the theme; Gods Plan For the
Worlds Redemption He remarked,
in part. that THE greatest sensation
in the world today is the Gospel OF
Jesus Christ. If a mans sermon to-
day is not sensational, in the trust
sense Of the word, then ! declare to
you, upon Gods Word, that that man
has not truly got a hold Of the truth Of
the Gospel. David Garritt, the great
actor, was one time asked by a min
lister why it was that he, Garritt. was
able to draw packed houses every
night, while the minister had only a
scant audience once week, and Gar
rift made reply: Tt may be that I play
fiction so real that people believe lt is
the truth, while some Of you make the
truth appear as felton,
For the coming week the following
occupations will be favored for better
ment through the Want Ads: Do
mestics, clerks, seamstresses, Demon
strators and stenographers.
