Supplies Rather Than Soldiers

In interview printed this morning Medill MeCormick recently returned from the European battle fronts and from intimate intercourse with the allied authorities that probably the soldiers the National Army will not be sent Europe for long time That opinion was recently expressed by Representative Carl Hayden.
 Glad as the French to receive General Pershng and his little army they need much more than sodierss the food and munitions which the ar mics at the front have. America alone can furnish these, and the ships to carry them are a- ready too few.
 A further increase of the fighting forces of the aIes would mean increase of the need of food munitions The limit of the carrying power has al ready been reached and yet Europe is suffering of food, No further burden be laid upon the ships and it will necessarily be some time before tonnage can be increased to such an extent that we can transport troops in large numbers the nec- essary supplies in correspondngly large volume.
 It is therefore probable that the boys the mob nization camps and the cantonments will have long wait for their chance at the Hun.

 measure. based upon principles fair to all sides These principles I be- lieve to be briefly as follows:
 CD The thing to do with water power is to develop it. Whatever re- tards or restricts the development of public waterpowers on terms fair to the public is against public policy and hostile to the general welfare.
 @ WaterpoWer belongs to the people. The sites where it is pro duced should always be held in public hands, for only so can effective con- trol in the general interest be se- cured.
 s(3) Where public development is not desired, the right to use water power sites should be leased for per iods long enough to permit sound. at tractive, and profitable investment but never longer than fifty years. Al the end of each lease all rights should return to the people who gave them (D In ordsr to protect the con- sumner against eXtoTtion, rates anc service should be regulated by fedel al authority when state or local au- thorities fail to do so.
 (5) Reasonably prompt and com plete development and continuous op- eration, subject to market conditions should be required. Already millions of water horsepower are held out 0, use to further monopoly by privat. corporations.
 (s) Corporations or individuali who make money out of right: granted by the people should share their profits with the people. @ The public has a right to com piete information about every busi ness based on the use of public property.
 These are the principles for whicf | the friends of conservation have beer 1 contending Many waterpower mel l believe them to be fair and sound They will, l hope, commend them selves to you as wise and reason able. I am writing to ask your sup i port for immediate legislation, based upon them, when congress meets. l This is no time to give away pub 1 lie assets necessary for the welfare 0 our people both in the war and afte the war: and we should no longe tolerate the selfishness of private in 1 terests which take the dog-in- the manager position that they must hay these waterpowers on their own term or no one shall use them at all.
 As the president. has said: "Th supreme test of the nation has come We must all speak, act, and serve to gether."

SHOULD NOT KNIT
 WITH CAUDY YARN

The State Council of Defense has re- ceived word from Washington that no attention should be paid to rumors to the effect that knitted sooGs are not acceptable and that army men are not permitted to receive them.
 There is only one caution issued to the patriotic women who are produc- ing this warm apparel Don't use gaudy yarns. All such articles should be knitted in neutral coiors, otherwise the soldiers will not be allowed to use them The. reason for this ruling is plain Bright colors render soldiers conspic- uous and expose them unnecessarily to the enemy's fire.
 It is much preferred by the war de- partment that knitted goods be given to the Red Cross for distribution, as that organization knows exactly where there is most need of them. The de partment. however, does not deny any one the right to donate such goods tt individuals or to regimental units..

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Greater Need of Water Power o the Editor, of the Republican,


 Sir:
 The great war in which our nation is engaged will be won not alone by food well. Without mechanical power well. Without me chanical~ power we could not make or move the weapons with which we fight-guns, ammunition, ships, and supplies. Our nationae lresources of power whether from coal, oil, or waterpower,i are na- tional war necessities. We need them to win the war.
 In this gigantic struggle our secur ity requires us to use all these great | resources, and to use them wisely and we'll. The people of the United States own some fifty million undeveloped water horsepower, or about enough 10 run every train. trolley, factory, mill, mine, and electric power plant We | have.
 For ten years the friends of conser- vation have urged the development of public waterpowers in the public in terest. But development has been l held back by, a little group of water power magnates and their friends in congress who have blocked all legis- lation which would not give them ! these valuable properties forever and | for nothing.
 l.. Today when the nation needs all it's resources. the same men who. have l been blocking reasonable waterpow wer legislation own and are holding mil- lions of water horsepower undeveloped and out of use while clamoring for more.
 1 The time has come when such ob- struction threatens the nations safe | ty and success. We need the 'devel- opment of these powers in war even more than in peace. At the coming session of congress. sound waterpower l legislation should be enacted as a wal

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lleves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrlvels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
