Secretary McAdoo says. in part:
This legislation will be a great step
forward in the recognition of the re-
public's duty to Its heroes. I consider
il the most significant and progressive
measure presented to Congress since
the declaration of war. 1t Immediately
affects the well-being of greater
number of persons than any act with
which I am familiar. 1t deserves the
earnest and vigorous support of the
country. 1t provides the broadcast and
most liberal protection ever extended
by any government to its fighting
forces and their dependent families.
The United States. the most pro-
gressive and prosperous nation on
earth. setting an example in the ideals
for which enlightened humanity is
lighting. should set the highest exam
pie of all the nations in the treatment
of those who do and die for their coun-
try and for world freedom.
We are proposing TO expend during
the next year more than ten billion dol
lars to create and maintain the neces
sary fighting forces to re-esta olish jus
tics in the world. But justice must be-
gin at home; justice must be done to
the men who die and suffer for US on
the battiefields and for their wives and
children and dependents who sacrifice
for US at home.

PEACE PLAN
OFFERED BY THE POPE
League Urges Vigorous Prosecution
of War Until Prussian Militar-
ism Has Been Vanquished.
~ the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 1s.-Although
the peace proposals of Pope Benedict
are regarded as supporting the princi-
pie for which the League to Enforce
Peace stands. the executive committee
of the league today adopted a resolu-
ton that was telegraphed to President
Wilson. saying it felt that a league of
nations which will guarantee security
of the world would be made effective
only by the abolition of Prussian mill
tary autocracy at whatever cost
although the peace proposals of his
holiness. Pope Benedict, support the
principle of a league of nations to en-
force peace and in that respect are
welcome" the resolution reads, the
executive committee of the League to
Enforce Peace feels that a league of ma
lions which will guarantee the future
security of the world could be made eff
fective only by the abolition of Prus-
sian military autocracy. at whatever
cost. Peace with such a government
could not, as President Wilson clearly
pointed out, establish conditions of
mutual trust and security.
The League to Enforce Peace. there
fore. urges the vigorous prosecution of
the war until Prussian militarism is
destroyed either by allied force or
the uprising of German democracy.

Meetings called by community defense committees" to take steps to increase the available food for man and livestock have gained definite ness of program. Many proposals have been sifted to a few important lines of action. "Five acres of green feed in July" has become a slogan of the meetings as well as "grow a garden" and "more sheep, more wool"
 The green feed will be needed to maintain the normal supply of milk for babies through the summer, fall and winter in spite of high prices and scarcity of all feed. Wholesale aid for this form of food defense has been offered, the agents of Libby, McNeill & Libby having been au. thorized to announce that they will furnish for blowing of an increased acreage as many tractors as are necessary to handle the work that comes to them in each community.
 "We realize," said an official of that firm, "that every one of us must lo our little bit to increase, as well ls to conserve, foods in this country.

FORESTl FORCE
 IS BEING FORMED
 ID AID SOLDIERS
Woods Workers of All Classes Wanted for Engi-
 neers Corps of Army.

Washington, May 21.-A forestry regiment" made up of foresters, prac- tical woodsmen, loggers, portable sawmill operators and others eXperi- enced in numbering operations, for service in France, will, it is an- nounccd, be raised immediately. The forest service. at the request of the war department, will prepare plans the force and will aid in securing suitable men. The regiment will form a unit of the engineer corps, now being recruited, to be sent abroad as soon as it can be organized and equipped.
 The organization of this regiment is the result of suggestion made by the British commission. Similar forces have been raised in Canada and are rendering valuable services. The object of the American forestry regiment, it is said, will be to con- vert available timber into material suitable for bridges, railroads, trenches, and other construction work with the least possible waste. At the same time the cutting will be done under the supervision of technical experts in cooperation with the French foresters. In this way the permanent damage to the forests in cident to furnishing the imperatively needed timber. it is hoped, will be kept as small as possible.
 The regiment will be organized in units capable of handling all kinds of woods work and will include a number of portable sawmill outfits. It will be officered by trained foresters and expert lumbermen who are thor ougkly familiar with producing and delivering lumber It will carry com plete equipment for all kinds of wods work. The classes of men de- sired comprise axemen, teamsters. tie cutters, millwrights, saw-filers. saw yers. portable sawmill men. farriers, blacksmiths, lumberjacks, cooks, and carpenters, as well as motorcycle and motor truck operators.
 As rapidly as enlistments are se- cured, the men will be assembled at six central points. which have already been designated.
