ARMY BEHIND j. S.
FIGHTERS ABROAD
NEEDSLABOR MOST

ON THE LINE OF COMNIUNICA-
TIONS OF THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Sept 1.-The army be-
hind Americas fighting army needs
men and supplies. II Is taclling the
stupendous Job of supplying the fght-
ing forces with scanty doles OF labor
and material
Throughout a trip along the line
of communications" the most frequent
assertion encountered from army men
was:
Some one is asleep at home. The
army needs masses of labor, and es-
pecially carpenters and joiners-and
vast supplies of all description. Now
IL the time to send them, when trans
portation of troops is not occupying
the bulk OF the tonnage"
Only n Framework.
After six months the rear organ
] ization of the American army is a
mere framework. The fighting men
are physically and mentally almost
/ ready to fight, but a tour Of hun
dreds of miles OF the American bases
gives the striking impression that
the rear organizations are far behind
| their combatant brothers.
For instance. a certain base bakery
is of makeshift appearance. II shows
couple Of rows OF field ovens. The
| bakers until a few days ago lived
in tents. The -four supply looks big
| to the casual observer, though the
| towering -four sacks dwindle into
mole hills in comparison with the
/ amount every army officer knows
must be constantly forthcoming.
Food Magazine Small.
| A hard working reserve captain
showed a correspondent over the food
magazine-from which he is con-
stantly drawing. The building is
only fair sized. and yet II is less than
| half filled. The French female la
Dor is doing stevedore work for this
American army in the rear, trundIing
crates OF canned food and supplies,
because OF the shortage OF American
military labor.
The American medical base is ap-
parently the only one that has bene-
hted to the full possibilities OF the
war. 1t has sufficient supplies and
forces to cope with extraordinary
casualties and illnesses for three
months. However, shortage and
/ cramping here is causing a big por-
| tion Of valuable medical supplies to
/ be housed in unwalled and unfloOred
sheds.
Scores of patriotic alert young
! Americans are training at French air
/ schools hoping to obtain repatriation
and Join the American forces when
they attain proficiency in the air.

APOSTLE OF PEACE"
 EXHIBITS PAINTING

LONDON, August 30, (By Mail).- An exhibition of paintings by the Russian artist, Vasili Verestcha- gin, called in Russia the "aposte of peace" is to be one of the features of the winter season in London art circles. Verestchagin, after fighting with the Russian armies in three short but bitter minor wars, was killed in the explosion that destroyed the flag ship Peuopavlocsk outside Port Arth- UT in 1904. His paintings are describ- ed as "at once a grisly revelation and vehement protest"
 His most famous canvas is entitled "Apotheosis of War" It depicts a huge pyramid of skulls crowned with a flock of carrion crows, and bears the sinister inscription, "To all con querors, past, present and to come"
 On the occasion of an exhibition of his work in Berlin some years ago the German Emperor would not allow the Piusian Guard to visit it, Hest they should come to regard war as not hon orable but disgusting"
 Verestchagin once wrote: "I want my paintings to be horrible. The people must know what war really is.'

other prominent official disappeared with the seals of the House of Repre- sentatives.
 When the attempt at monarchical restoration had been defeated and Premier Yuan Chi-jui declared the re public had been restored, there was much consternation because of the dis appearance of the seals of the repub- lie. General Ting Kwan was arrested in Shanghai, and after hard legal struggle was brought back to Picking, together with the missing presidential seals, and is to have a hearing before a Chinese court.

tai Peruvian imports of paper. Since the outbreak of the war there has been a heavy increase in the imports beacuse of the fact that news print has been admitted free of duty and, with the rise in the price of all other grades of paper, retailers have found it the cheapest kind that they can obtain for wrapping purposes. Now that it has gained extensive use for this purpose, it is believed that the imports will continue to increase even after cheap CT wrapping paper is again available
 Previous to the war nearly 50 per cent of the paper imports of Peru came from Germany, 20 per cent from the United States, 10 per cent from England, and the remainder from Bel gium, Spain, France, Italy and other European countries. The principal factors in the European strength, ac- cording to the Bureaus report, were lower prices, longer credits, better shipping facilities, more active selling campaigns, willingness to produce the goods desired, better packing great CT attention to detail, and influence of European colonies and Europeans en- gagged in the paper and printing trades. Similar conditions were found in Bolivia. The annual consumption of all classes of paper and paper prod ucts in Peru amounts to approximate ly $7OO,OOO, of which $625,OOO worth is imported. The consumption in Bolivia amounts to $3OOOOO, of which all is imported. Ecuador's imports have va ried between $l6O,OOO and $28O,OOO.

is willing to sacrifice himself. It is no wonder that the colors are priaed and guarded with devoted care
 Ordinarily the colors when not in use are kept in the office of the col- onel or in front of his tent. During the day when the weather permits they are displayed unfurled. At night and during rainy weather they are ceased" which means that they are furIed and protected by an oilcloth covering.
 Officers and men passing an uncased color always honor it by saluting. The manner of salute is the same as that previously described. The same rules of respect are observed by men not in formation when the uncased colors are carried by
 The colors are escorted in parades or on .he march in campaigns by a color guard, consisting of two ser geants who are the color bearers and two experienced privates selected by the colonel. The regimental color is always on the left of the national color.
The Seward gateway and the Alaska evening post., 1917-09-29
The National Anthem

Similar rules of respect apply when ever the Star-Spangled Banner is played. Officers and enlisted men not in formation stand at attention, fac ing toward the music texcept at "re- treat" when they face toward the aag). They salute at the first note oC the anthem, retaining the position Of salute until the last note.
 Every citizen of the United States, whether a civilian or soldier, should give expression of his loyalty and de- ,otion to his country by showing prop CT marks of respect for the co,ors and for the national anthem When in civilian clothes, wearing a hat or cap, the correct thing to do is to remove it and hold it in the right hand opposite the left shoulder while passing an un- cased color or during the playing of the national anthem. If uncovered, stand at attention.
 The common habit of rising slowly, standing in a slouching attitude, and sometimes even carrying on conyersa- tion. when the national anthem is played is an indication of gross ig- norance or ill breeding. On the other hand. the man who stands silent and at attention is not only showing prop CT respect and setting an example which will have its effect on others, but is also cultivoting in himself the feelings of pride and of patriotism which should belong to every citizen of the country.
 It goes without saying that disrc- spect to the American flag cannot be tolerated. If any such instances come to your attention, you should report them at once to the proper authorities in order that they may be dealt with in accordance with the law.
