CAMP MEADE. Md, october 19.-One
thousand men, all from Pennsylvania,
this morning started from here to
Camp Hancock. Augusta. Ga. They
comprise the first detail of the 6,lo0
men to be sent from here to southern
camps.
The troops were sent on two long
trains. one over the Pennsylvania ROAD
and the other over the Baltimore and
Ohio. They are to fill existing de-
ficiencies in Pennsylvania National
Guard organizations now at Camp
Hancock.
The remaining 500 men are to be
sent south during this week, 1t was
stated this morning. but no intimatiop
was given as to how the men are TO
be selected or from what units they
are to be taken.
No Orders to District Men.

transfer of any District men AT divi-
sion headquarters it was stated no
definite decision had been made as yet
as to the units which would contribute
quotas to the $500 to be moved to
Camp Gordon at Atlanta. Ga.
The Pennsylvania men who moved out
today were completely uniformed and
equipped, with the exception of rifles
and side arms. The men who came to
Camp Meade q few weeks ago as civil
ians. possibly with no idea of military
life. left camp looking, acting and talk
ing like soldiers. They carried. swung
over their shoulders, the big blue drill
barrack bags containing their extra
clothing and personal effects. Each of
the trains carried extra baggage cars
and mess cars. and rations sufficient to
last until the men reach their destina-
ton were put on board in charge OF
the company cooks.
The men seemed to take the move as a
matter of course. few expressions. either
OF regret being heard at leaving this part
of the country or OF satisfaction at the
prospects of going much farther south.

GOVERNMENT TO BAR
EXCESSIVE WAR PROFITS
II Prices Are Too High Uncle Sam
Can Take Over and 0per-
ate Plants.

The government has invoked for the
first time its drastic powers to strike
a deathblow at exorbitant war profits.
Under authority OF the last naval APP
preparation bill manufacturer was
directed TO furnish a large order Of war
supplies at a price fixed by the govern
ment, far lower than the figure volun-
tarily submitted. II the order is not
obeyed the plant will be taken over
and operated by the government
1t is understood that the concern
against which these statutes have been
invoked refused to meet the govern
ment's requirements as to price when
the orders were rendered originally
and in the regular way. So far as
known this is the only case Of the kind
yet produced by the present emergency.
European governments are paying an
average of 10 per cent profit on war
materials purchased in the United
States. II was asserted authoritativeiy
that the government Of the United
States intends to buy its own supplies
at less than that rate Of profit to the
seller. The law invoked is section 5
Of the last naval appropriation bill, as
follows:
The president is authorized to require
the owner or occupter OF any factory in
which the s.ips or war material are built
or produced 10 place at the disposal OF
the United States the whole or any part
OF the output of such factory and. within
the limit of the amounts appropriated
therefor. TO deliver such output or parts

WOULD REVERSE 1T
Governor Capper Asks Change in SUI
prcme Court Bridge Ruling.

Governor Capper has asked the fed
eral war department to reverse the
Kansas supreme court. His request
is contained in a telegram urging the
department to disapprove plans for
new Missouri Pacific bridge across the
Kaw river at Kansas City and to con-
slider only plans urged by the kaw
valley drainage board.
Action by the governor means in
effect the reversal of the ruling of the
state supreme court. The supreme
court approved plans for new bridge
across the river. The governor asks
the war department not to approve
the plans as suggested by the court,
but to adopt only such plans as are
urged by the drainage board. This
action, the governor declared, was in
an effort to prevent future flood trou-
BILE in Kansas City. In his demand
the governor asks that the war depart
ment reject any and all bridge build
ing plans except such as might meet
the favor of the board The supreme
court ordered only adoption of plans
for a safe bridge and one which would
meet approval of the war department.

London, July 1S.!The new cabinet
appointments get a mixed reception
in the morning newspapers. The ma
jority however, are indulgent and ex-
press willingness to give the appoint
ees a chance and to Judge them by re-
suits
The selection of Sir Eric Campbell
Geddes, who has been director gen
eral of the munitions supply, to head
tho British admiralty arrests a large
share of the editorial attention. it is
described as startling, original and
bold, but his record in other posts is
amply recognized as great one. The
Tory press deplores the removal OF
Sir Edward Carson from the admir-
atty. where it declares he has been
great success while the radicals were
disgruntled at his admission into the
tnnermoSt ministerial Sanctum.
The reception to Winston Spencer
Churchill, who succeeds DR.. Christie
pher Addison minister of NUM-
lions, is nowhere enthusiastic. me
Morning Post says of Churchill:
''Altho we have as yet not invented
an unsuitable ship, we have GiscoV-
cred an unsuitable politician" and re-
fers to Ibis colossal plumbers and
overweening conceit."
Elsewhere ChurchiIrs enthusiasm.
push and ingenuity are recognized by
writers who nevertheless doubt his
suitability as minister of munitions

labor complexities the duties of the
post in a manner for which it is
feared Churchill is unequipped-
Geddcs Trained in U. S.
Premier Lloyd George will have an
exponent of American pep" as his
new first lord of the admiralty in Sir
Eric Geddes, who received much of
his training in the United States.
Choice of this young business man
to head the important admiralty post
utter disregard for precedent re-
curing that ministers be members of
parliament-was the most popular
of the changes announced by Lloyd
George in the interest of efficiency.
The British press today generally
predicted Sir Edward Carson shifted
to become a member of~the war cabi-
let, would fit in better at his new post
than in the admiralty. He lacks pure
~ administrative qualities so neces-
sary for the marine department.
Up From Obscurity.
Sir Eric Geddes has come up from
obscurity in the war. English born,
he got engineering training in the
Homestead Steel works of Pittsburg
and WITH the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, going back to England and later
achieving reputation in railroad cir
cles for efficient construction work
He impressed Lord Kitchener with his
ability in handling transportation
problems early in the war. Until his
appointment to the cabinet he was di-
encouragement of munitions supply.
DIR. Christopher Addison, displaced
by Churchill, becomes minister of re-
construction and Edwin Samuel Mon
tagu, former minister, succeeded J.

rotary of state for India

HOW TO WET LAWNS
Don't Sprinkle, But Soak Them, X. q.
Professor Urges.

Lawrence, Kan, July 1S.-The lawn
sprinkler and the garden hose noZZle
are guilty of killing thousands of fine
bluegrass lawns, aided and abetted by
the man who inists on Sprinkling in
stead of soaking. If you must water
your lawn, soak it, take off the nozzle
or sprinkler and soak it thoroly, says
w. G.. Stevens, chairman of the bot
any department of the University OF
Kansas. But unless you are prepared
to pull out the foxtail and crab grass,
do not water the sunny parts of your
lawn. Foxtail and crab grass thrive
to thrive. If the sunny part of your
lawn is too large to be hand-picked
of foxtail and crab grass, it is better
to let the blue grass dry up and turn
brown. 1t will come green and beau
tiful again in the fall. But if you
water it and do not continually pull
out the foxtail and crab grass the
bluegrass will gradually die out.
Shady lawns may be watered with
little fear of foXtai1 and crab grass in
large quantities. The same is true
with gardens, Mr.. Stevens says. Soak
'em, don't sprinkle. Also water lawn
or garden any time you feel like it,
whether the sun is shining or not.
That's an erroneous old notion about
not watering lawn or garden while
the sun is shining. But soak it. Don't
sprinkle, wetting only the surface OF
or other plants to come to the sur
face seeking moisture. Such roots
are killed by the drying out that fol-
lows quickly after the sprinkling.
Take off the nozzle or sprinkler and
soak it.

Do YOU UNDER
STAND THE WAR?

This is the most important mo-
ment in the history of the United
States. Do you know why we are
at war? Do you know what we
are fighting for?
The United States government
has published an official book tell
ing why we are at war, and what
the United States would regard as
a just and durable peace. This
book sets forth step by step the
happenings of the last three years
that led to war. 1t tells of our
relations to England and to Ger
many. 1t is Americas justification
for declaring war.
1t contains, too, the three most
important speeches of President
Wilson, one discussing what would
constitute a just peace, the others
telling why we are at war. These
speeches are printed in full.
This booklet is the most import
ant compilation of present-day his
word of it is of vital interest to
every American; every sentence
deserves careful study. There
should be a copy in every American
home.
A copy will be sent free to any
reader of the Topeka State Jour
nal. Send your name and address
to the Topeka State journal Infor-
nation Bureau, Washington, D. c.
Enclose a 2-cent stamp for post
age. Ask for the Red, White and
Blue book.

part of this paper to its subscribers
and readers.
