Chicago May Be Munition Center.

Chicago, Dec. pa government
shop in Chicago to do machine work
on shells. The subject was discussed
at Il conference of Association Of Com
merce executives, including John w.
OIeary, Lucius Teter, James B. For
gan, George NJ. Reynolds, and others.
The government wishes to centralize
munitiOn-making as much as possible"
said Mr.. OLeary after the meeting.
"ObjectiOn is made to making part
and then shipping it elsewhere for
completion, when all the work could be
done at one place at less cost. Chi
cagO already is the center of quite a
munitiOn industry, but the government
wishes us to go more deeply into the
matter. Not that Chicago will equal
Bethlehem for instance, but there is
no doubt that before the war is over,
there will be Il whole lot of munitions
made here Nothing definite was done
at the conference, but plans were
made, and we will be ready to make
an announcement in few days" 1.-THE
conference was called by Mr.. OIeary
to talk over the idea Of making Chi
cago a bigger munitiOn center" said
Mr.. Teter. Already quite Il lot Of
munition-making is going OH here, in
Guiding that of the United States Steel
corporations plant, but the govern
ment feels the work should be central
lied and recommends that we build a
factory OF two so that shipping muni-
tons to other points for finishing
touches can be avoided. For instance,
there is no factory in Chicago capable
of handling machine work on shells
in large quantities. The work has to
be done elsewhere, cauSing loss of time
and money.

It gave them Il catch at their thrOats

it was all JOY. The great big Christ

base of the giant Christmas tree
brought here for the jackies eXiled

NEED RUBBERS AT CUSTER
Thousands of Soldiers From Wisconsin
and Michigan Suffering From
Wet Feet-Many Shoes Are
Distributed to Men.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich,
Dec. 26.-Though Michigan has 3d.
100000 war fund to relieve critical sit
UatiOns that cannot wait for red tape
to be unwOund, and Camp Custer is
asking for $4,000 pairs of rubbers and
OvershOeS to keep the Michigan-Wis-
cOnSin soldiers from getting wet feet,
there has as yet been no response to
the IS. O. S." call Of the soldiers. A
dispatch from Lansing suggests that
Governor Sleeper cannot act until he
receives q personal or written request
from Maj Gen. James Parker, the
cOmmandant; yet General Parker,
serving the National government, can
not make q formal request for aid. SO
the soldiers are still suffering from
wet feet.
Tuesday thousands of pairs of shoes
were distributed. They went to men
who had been unable to secure govern
ment shoes before, because of the lack
of equipment for large men.
The men were delighted to get shoes,
but the rubbers are still needed, for
the camp is sea Of mud. Many civ
ilians who tried to wade through Gus
ter circle to help dedicate the Red
Cross Christmas tree, gave up in
despair and returned to the city. The
tree was given its first illumination
with few civilians on hand to cheer.
A couple of thousand soldiers stood in
the mud and sang Christmas hymns,
while the bands, massed for the occa-
sion, rendered the accomplishments
and also gave separate numbers. There
was no attempt at speech-making. The
men had d turkey dinner on Christmas.

training of men drafted for labor in
the production OF foodstuffs
"The labor situation on the farms
will be more acute next spring than
at present" says he.
Mr.. Taylor was the originator OF the

to them and what their patriotic
duty is.
The movement has already been
extended by the League into "a states
and will, within a short time, be ac-
lively under way in all of the 4S
states. The principal part of the
Leagues plan is the organization Of
system of addresses on patriotic
and war topics by means of which
trained speakers will carry into every
city, town, and hamlet in the country
the following message: The causes
Of the war, the reason for the entrance
Of this country into the conflict, what
the United States must do to carry
cut it's part, and the knowledge that
not only the existence Of democracy
IN the abstract, but also the very life
of this nation itself, depends upon vic
tory over Germany.
The campaign is being conducted
under the direction Of DR.. Robert NJ.
McElroy, who succeeded President
Wilson as head of the Department Of
History and Politics in Princeton
Int
granted years leave Of absence so
that he could devote his entire time
to this work. He is being assisted by

Loyalty Weeks"
A favorite method Of launching the
campaign in the several states is
through what the Security League
calls Loyalty Weeks" In New York
State, nine teams Of four speakers
each, all men and women Of national
reputation, toured all the principal
cities and towns Of the State, speak
ing in a different place every after
noon and evening for an entire week.
This plan is also being followed in
New Jersey, Vermont, and Kentucky.
Other states where the movement is
being pushed by the League, through
cooperation with the State Councils
OF Defense and State Departments OF
Education, are: Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas, Washington,
Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Illinois,
Delaware, Tennessee, Michigan, West
Virginia, Maryland New Hampshire,

evident from lie Sunday meeting
that the people i'm this stake are
still growing III numbers, and
although different sections have
been cut oft during the past few
years from this stake the Stake
Tabernacle is not large enough
to accommodate the people on
these occasions. This is sure

Apostle Hvrum Nj. Smith. who

Business Men for
Executives.

Idaho and Utah have followed
Washington in electting business
'men to the office of Governor.
Lister, Alexander and Bamberger
have all been identified with state
Industries and development.
Bamberger and Alexander like
Lister. ran for office on business
pla tform, promising business adj
illustrations, instead of political
rule in the old sense and along
The old partisan lines.
i All three advocate lower taxes,
retrtnchnlent, aholishing useless
ehces. oppose creating new and
useless boards and commissions,
and believe in applying the same
practical tests to service.
While Lister was a nunufact-
urer, Alexander merchant, BAN
berger has been largely identified
with transportation and mining,
besides conducting a large mer-
camille business aud serving the
public.
Bamberger is at the head of an
interurban system, has helped
establish the mining. sugar and
coal industries, and while identi-
fed with political party can be
said to be more OF a business man
than politician.
Montana seems to have a con.
servative man for Governor who
places the development of the
state above party politics, and
who has all his life been connect
ed with the largest business in
terest.

AMERICAN TROOPS

Regulars Take up Border
Guard Duty.

American military expedition in Mex

another week the entf1e command,
after ten months on Mexican soil.
probably will have recrossed into the
United States.
The order went to General Funston,
In command at the border, and left to
his discretion the exact time of start
ing the northward movement and the
details cf carrying it out. For several
weeks he has known of the aumlnis
traton's determination to order the
troops back to the border, and under
his direction the expedition has been
concentrated for the long march.
AT the border the regulars Will re-
lieve a considerable portion, II not all,
of the national guardsmen remaining
on duty there. Already about $4,000
of the state troops in the border pa
troll have been ordered home, and
their movement probably will be un-
der way by the time Pershing's men
arrive on American soil.
Although officials have been silent
on the SUBJECT of Mexico since failure
of the joint commission negotiations,
developments outwardly have coupled
the troop withdrawal with Carranza' 8
