SEND YOUNG MEN
 IS THE PLEA OF
 GENERAL PERSHING
Accordingly, Many Promotions Are Looked for in the Regulars
 And Guards

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Major General Pershing has recommended to Secretary of war Baker, that no gen eral officers more than forty-five years of age be sent to France for active service.

Altho two young men of the family apparent ly are of the legal age for war enlist ment, nothing could be found in the registration list to indicate that they had taken the required step to do their bit for the war.

LARGE ARMY OF SLEUTHS ON ALERT
 CONSTANTLY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It is known here that while Uncle Sam does not make much noise, his agents are .constantly on the alert for spies and agitators.
 The United States has one of the biggest secret police systems in the world. It centers in Washington. 1t is composed of three departments.
 The Bureau of Investigation, De- partment of Justice. headed by Bruce Bielaski, in peace times hunts white slavers, anti-drug law violators and other offenders. Now it hunts Ger man spies and pro-kaiserites.
 The Secret Service is headed by Chief Flynn. Its main duties are to catch counterfeiters for the Treasury Department, and furnish the Presi. dent secret service squad.
 Secret police systems of other Gov. ernment departments, such as post office inspectors are always alert to iidD lHdll FiOldlOTS.
 The Army and Navy have their own means of getting information of milli- tary value.
 The biggest job right now is war work. The secret service throws it's tentacles in every direction, feeling for plotters against the President. The Bureau of investigation musses dis. loyalist schemes. The Army and Ma. " s.euths dig into enemy war plans.
 In their hunt for anti-American agi- tators, Uncle Sans secret police mingle with crowds, participate in mass meetings, use the telephone.
 If mob gathers the chances are a quiet gentleman with little badge in his pocket is among those present.

MT. J. E. flVdru, Eullol,
 Progressive-Miner,
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 My dear MT. Rivard:
 Now that legislative action has been taken setting up the Food Admlnlstra- tion, it will be possible for us to make a definite statement as to the o1ec- tives of the Food Administration and the national and international issues which are involved. I shall take the liberty of forwarding to the press or the country, through the usual dis tributing agencies, a series of articles prepared by myself and staff, bearing oil the entire problem.
 The world as a whole is faced with a definite and growingfi food shortage which will have a most important bearing on our national life, not only as affecting our task of supporting our Allies in the war, but in it's ultimate reactions upon our entire range or food industries and tn elife of our people. I recognize that to an intel ligent people it is necessary to prove the case u such a shortage exists and will in. ase, and that this proof must be furnished as a basis for ere ating the dominant idea in the nation al mind that we must enlarge our food service to the world, not only as a war measure, but as a measure Of humanity itself If we can secure the emplacement of this side in the minds of the people, the sequent suggestions of constructive order which we may make will fall not only on a receptive mind but upon a convinced intellf' gence.
 Aside from the necessity of increas- ing our production and reducing our waste and unnecessary consumption, we can substitute certain commodit- ies which we have in excess for those which, by virtue of their concentrat, ed form, ma ybe shipped abroad in this time of diminished shipping. Furthermore, we have to contend with large disturbance of our economic system by virtue of the suction of this food vacuum upon our resources, and sequence of measures will be
