President Wilson kept this
country out OF the war up to the
last day, the last hour, the last
minute 1t was possible to do SO.
As profound student and in
terpreter of history he knew az
well or better than any statesman
in the world the magnitude OF the
task which confronted America,
the great difficulties, physical,
moral and psychological, to be
overcome in preparing peace
loving, unorganized democracy to
wage victorious war against the
most highly organized military au-
tocracy in the world.
Money Must Pay.
During that fateful time be-
tween the day when the president
saw with clear vision that the
preservation OF this nation and the
salvation of the world made war
between America and Germany in
evitable and necessary, and that
day when he delivered his war
message to congress, the president
formulated in his mind a pretty
definite course of action to be fol-
lowed in preparing the nation for
war.
Two of the fundamental propo-
sitions in the plans which at that
time took form in the presidents
mind were these:
First: The whole power of

my son is the most peace
loving men in the whole world,
but he has been so anxious to go to
this war that he tried first for the
Officers Reserve Corps and then
for the Engineers, but was re-
jected for slight physical defect,
not sufficient to disqualify him for
the draft. So, tho 1t breaks my
heart to have him go, am willing.

PLAN TO
ENLARGE

Tacoma auto bus drivers oper-
ating between the city and army
post say they have no fear that
a rival bus company will put them
out of business.
Even tho a new company should
enter the field with bonded buses,
the men already serving the pub
lie with transportation to the lake
say that they will also be able to
bond their cars and continue oper-
alton.

Twenty-Five additional cars
were put on the run Wednesday,
to accommodate the daily increase
in travel
A 10-minute service has been
inaugurated, cars leaving on
schedule time whether they are
loaded or not.
BY the first of next week a five
minute schedule will be in effect,
the bus men say, and when the
conscription army arrives there
will be at least two cars leaving
the bus station for the army post
every minute.

In response to a request from R.. s. French, secretary of the National League of Commission Merchants, of New York City, for a statement re- garding the proposed food legislation, Secretary Houston has sent the fol- lowing letter:
 "There is no desire on the part of any branch of the Government to do anything else than to promote the best interests of all the people of the Nation in the present emergency. The desire is to disturb helpful, legitimate industrial activities just as little as possible.

USE OF SEIZED GERMAN SHIPS

'I am in receipt of advices from answer to my recent letter suggesting the use of some of the former Ger man vessels in the Philippines to bring hemp to this country, that this will be done. There are large quan- titles of hemp in the Philippines, and the diversion of vessels to munitions and freight carrying to belligerent nations has curtailed the normal out flow of this necessary commodity. It is needed for use in the manufacture of binder twine, which will shortly be in great demand in harvesting the grain crops.
 Three former German steamships have cargoes engaged and will be used to bring quantities of hemp. Three more large former German ves- sells are undergoing repairs and will shortly be available for cargoes, prin- cipally of hemp, to the United States. There are also other vessels avail able, which will be utilized to relieve the binder-twi situation to the end that the harvesting of grain crops may proceed without interruption"

To insure good health, one must have perfect elimination and positive expulsion of poisonous refuse from the system.
