WILSON RESTRICTS

The restriction Of non essentials
was imposed through an order is
sued by Robert S Lovett, priority
director Of The War Industries
Board, prohibiting use of open top
cars, excepting fat cas-, for car.
rying any of the specified materl-
als for private orders. Coal is ex
empted, aud the order does not
apply to shipments foI the govern.
ment, or TO shipments IN closed
box cars.
RELIEVE CAR SHORTAGE
The order is expected to proviCe
early relief for the car shortage
which has affec ed the transporta
tion of "coal, coke. ore, limestone,
sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum
cane and raw materials for use III
he metal, sugar and fertilizer iD
dnstIies, and other commodities
necessary to the Datioual defense
aud security" Heretofore, said
Judge Lovett's order, the trans
portation OF these materials has
Oeen hampered by iDsistence OF
manufacturers on cars for non es.
sentials.
Articles affected by the order
follow: "Materlals and supplies,
other than coal, for the construc-
tioD, maintenance, or repair #
pnblic or private highways, road

"Materials and supplies, other

The most drastic effect of the
order probably will be to stop
many public road and street build
ing enterprises. Automobile man
ufactufers also Will feel the effect
of the government action to some
extent since open top cars have
been used for carrying metal pro-
ducts. Most material for fuIni-
ture and musical instrument pro-
duction, however, is transported
in closed cars. The scarcity Of
box cars within the past two years
has led to increasing use of open
top cars for many materials =

70 H, s. STUDENTS TO FARMS
Columbia High School Loses II, U. H.
G 1S-Fpw More Nav Leave.

Twelve students of Columbia High
School have been excused under the
ruling allowing boys over IA years OF
age to go to work on the farm. Full
credit for the semester's work will be
granted. Superintendent J. E. Nc
Pherson expects that there will be
only a few more to leave. The fol-
lowing have been excused: Hughes

Woodwork, Ollie Edwards, John Sam
Williamson. Roy CrOsswhile, Paul

Eighteen students at the University
High School have been excused to
work on farms and six more have ap-
piled for leave. The privilege of leav-
ing for farm work and receiving nor
nal credit has been in force there
since the University faculty decided
to give students that privilege. All
athletic engagements have been can
celled by the school because of the
back-to-the-farm movement.

that the civilian part of the govern
ment may keep its hands on the steer
ing wheel.
In the face of labor strikes, threat
ened revolt in Ireland and other do
mestic troubles, not to mention the
war itself, Lord Northcliffe and his
papers overthrew the British minis
try and made Lloyd George prime
minister. And the move is proving to
be a wise one. Suppressed speech
and a suppressed press in Germany
are keeping the German people from
knowing the facts of the war and
from inquiring as to the conflicts real
causes and possible terms of peace
Thus, perhaps, peace is prevented.
The United States is fighting against
autocracy, but it must not give up
the rights of democracy in overthrow
ing autocracy. History shows that
free speech has been necessary to free
government. The freedom of the
press is the bulwark of liberty. There
can be no true opinions without lib
erty, free speech, free press and
peaceable assembly. Lincoln said,
Let the people know the truth, and
the country is safe" If a policy is
right, it can weather free discussion
in wartime as well as in peace.
America has declared war to furth-
er human rights. and the nation would
be throwing stones from glass
house if it allowed militarism and
privilege to abridge the freedom of
those constitutional rights - free
speech. free press and peaceable as
sembly.

4. E.. A. PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT
Part OF Proceeds VIII Be Given 10

given by the Association of Collegiate
Alumnae in the University Auditorium
Friday night, are to be devoted to the
work of the association and in view
of the crisis in this country, a part
will be given to the Red Cross fund.
The Association of Collegiate Alum
nue. is the only national unprOfession-
al organization of American college
women having for its aim purely edu-
cational work 1t is frequently con-
suited by the Government bureau for
higher education of women. The as
sociatiOn was organized in 1882 by
graduates of eight American colleges.
The Association now has over 1900
active members, graduates of twenty
eight colleges.
There are forty-nine branches of the
A c. A. scattered from the Atlantic
to the Pacific coasts. Eighty-fve
women are members in the Central
Missouri branch. The association
maintains twenty-nine foreign fellow
ships of $500 each and eleven Amer
lean fellowships of $3.50 and $3.50
each. 1t also contributes to the sup
port of the Naples Table Association
and to the $1,000 prize offered for the
results of laboratory researches made
by women. The Alice Freemen Palm

Europe or America.

CONSERVATION

The United States faces the prop
lem of economical conservation and
production of the necessities OF LIE
food and clothing-more particularly
food.
"It is no longer a question OF get
ting prices but of getting food a Co
lumbia wholesale grocer is quoted as
saving. AS remedy for this situa-
ton, he advises more extensive acre
age and cultivation and close econo-
my of the present supply.
The conservation of the present sup
ply is an individual obligation and re-
sponsibility. Each day in all parts
of the United States tons of food are
wasted in their preparation for con-
sumption, in their production or in
their marketing.
Many producers harvest only that
part of their production which is
most easily marketed; the remainder
is left to rot or be made useless by
the elements. 1t is all food, all cap
able of sustaining human or animal
life. and all must be harvested and
conserved.
Refuse. cans catch much from the
tables of millions of Americans which
could be placed to a productive use
if not as food for human, at least as
food for animals-and we must have
meat as well as vegetables. Mer-
chants by lax methods of preserva-
tion permit food supplies to deterior-
ate beyond human usage when by
more care this same food could be
conserved.
Not one necessary ounce of food
stuffs must be allowed to pass be-
yond the stage of utility. The house
wife, the farmer, the stockman, the
transporter, the merchant and the
consumer must all unite in the eco
nomical use OF our food supply and
i'm its conservation.
Conservation of all necessities must
be an individual obligation.

SUGGESTS CITIES HELP FARMERS
VI. n. Beeler Thinks Commercial Clubs
Should Supply LabOrerS.

That Commercial Clubs in all towns
of the state should undertake to sup
ply farmers with laborers is the sug-
gestion of NJ. n. Beeler, agricultural
editor of the University. The clubs
are organized and have the equipment
necessary to bring farmers and la
borers together.
Mr. Beeler made this suggestion aft
er receiving a letter from Nikoles
Aleshi, instructor in an Italian Uni
versity in Kansas City, who says that
there are many Italian families in the
cities which would be glad to go to
the farms. He suggests that the state
or federal agriculture departments
should have offices of enrollments and
is convinced that hundreds of thous-
ands of city families would go to the
country.

C. w. Castle Optimistic.

A recent dispatch from Washington
credits the War Department with the
statement that military drill in the
colleges and universities of the cOun-
try will be discontinued during the
war This is interpreted by Major c.

officers will be detailed for duty. at
colleges and universities. He thinks
that drill here and at other universi-
ties now having military training will
not be interrupted, but that schools
having more than one federal officer
will be restricted to one.
Major Castle has received orders
to go to Ann Arbor, Mich, to organize
a cadet corps. He will leave Satur-

WARS FIRST CASUALTIES

Free speech, a free press and the
right peaceably to assemble-these
are the first casualties of the war.
Even in democratic countries this is
true.
Indications in the United States now
are that the militarists have their
guns trained in the direction of these
rights, the freedom of which the Con-
stitution says Congress can in no way
abridge. Patriotism is used to cover
too many things. The pacifists and
those who voted against war are call
ed dislOyal; yet they were truly sim
eere and did what in peace times ev-
cry American admires-stood up as
a minority for that which they be-
lieved to be right.
To conserve the freedom of the
press under war conditions is q great
problem. The battles of Sedan and
Port Arthur were lost because news of
French and Russian troop movements
reached the enemies through news
papers. Military and naval plans
while being executed should be CEN
sored, but criticism must be free. so

HIGH TREASON

These are great days for the re-
public. We have set out to help out
in an enterprise of saving the earth
as place worth living in. The clear
solemn call of the President and the
voice of Congress, which is the voice
of the people, are to us the high call
of duty. If there be an American in
this room who has not volunteered
to give any service that he can without
thought of consequence or of pay
don't see him.
From all the states, from the states
of the great Mississippi Valley, from
the South and from the Pacific, they
will come as many millions as need
be. You are parts also of our great
Industrial organizations and financial
institutions and they, too, already are
at the service of our government We
shall not have to do any commander
ing"

rested for high treason. He seems to
make clear that volunteer service, not
