die Western states against the sign
ing of food pledges, has resulted in
aiding instead Of retarding the food
administration campaign, according
to information sent to the admins
tration headquarters.
The reported propaganda, 1T was
stated, was arousing the workers to
renewed efforts and enabling them to
convince many householders that the
movement must have great merit to
arouse an active fight against it by
German agents and sylnpathizers.
Incomplete returns to the food al.
ministration showed that about 3,000,-
900 families had been enrolled at the
close of the third day Of food pledge

Orders.

Washington, Nov. Am immediate
drop in prices of canned vegetables
is predicted by the food administra-
tor as result of putting into opera
ton the license system for wholesale

market prices.
Dealers charging more than q reas.
enable profit are liable to forfeiture Of
their licenses to do business.

an extent. Those charging more than
the food administration considers just
will find their supplies cut off in
orders to wholesalers to cease furnish
ing them with goods.
The food administration yesterday
warned dealers who have not applied
for license blanks that they will be
charged with violations of the food
law If they continue to sell goods.

THE NE w ARMY.
By James j. Montague.

They do not grumble complain,
They do not strut pull heroics.
They just go down and take their train
a quiet bunch of Yankee stOics.
They know what they going through
And that is everything there's to it,
They've been allotted work TO do
And they going to do it.
They do not boast of glorious deeds.
For boasts vain and cheap and hollow,
They know just where their pathway leads
But that's the path they're going to follow.
No tears, cheers, they depart
They ask from those they leave behind them,
AS each one with steady heart
Goes out to do the task assigned him.
No staggering no craven fear,
No look of savage ton
You in any faces here,
But only grim determ nation
No emperor across the seas,
However vast his sovereign powers,
Had ever soldiers such these
To the throne on which he covers!
