l'Makes Eloquent Appeal to New YORK
State Voters at Women's Request.
Washington. - President Wilson
made an eloquent appeal to the vot-
ers Of the state of New York to vote
for woman suffrage. Much more ex-
plicit than in any of his previous ut
terances, the president cast aside all
restraint and urged the enfranchise-
ment of women as necessary to
strengthen the foundations Of Ameri-
can democracy.
The president told the 100 women
representing the New York woman
suffrage committee, headed by Mrs.
Norman De r. Whitehouse, that he
regretted his inability to go to New
York to make a speech for woman
suffrage, but asked them to convey
what he said as a message to the
voters of New York.
Mr.. Wilson paid tribute to the po-
1itical ability Of the women. He said
he realized under what tremendous
strain the women have been who
have been managing the campaign,
but he declared it was a fine example
of their capacity, their resource and
their vision.

LEAR EQltOr anu hedQetS.
AS | have a little time now, [
will write a few lines to you dear
Old Virginia people. We are hav-
ng some real cold weather now.
Had a young" snow blizzard
one day lat week. We all thought
winter had come to stay, but the
n xt day it all disappeared.
This camp life is quite an inter
esting life now, although. at first,
it seemed hard.
Every one seems happy and con-
tented.
We eA pect Is 900 more boys in
:oon. Most of us have our uni
forms now, and every fellow seems
Dround of his khaki.
Uncle Sam is my first uncle who
ever gave me clothes to wear. Ha,
ha. We get plenty of good, solid
food. We missed our fancy dishes
at first, but now we never think
,bout it, only when we get off to
20 to Des Moines, then. believe me,
we sure get good bill.
There are boys here Of almost
every nationality.
One fellow here was in Germany
Ahen the war broke out; he then
kipped to Holland, and when Hol-
Ian / was threatened by war, he
anne to our beloved America, and
finally was drafted here, after being
here two years. He couldn't get
away from Uncle Sam. We moV-
ed three blocks southy sterday, and
ave just gotten settled for the
winter, unless they ship US to N
VI. or some other place south.
400 of us boys went out in the
! 'ountry on a 10 mile hike few
avs ago. II seemed good to ge'
ut in the country again. We
assed a country store where there
was sign out, sweet cider for
ale" and some of the boys waut-
d to stop.
We got our third incubation
Wednesday a. M; several OF the
bows got very sick.
Our Company GA" is invited to
five O'Clock dinner in Des Moines
Sunday afternoon by the Plymouth
congregational church. They want
% get acquainted with US. Our
colonel told US that we kept the
'|eanest barracks of the whole reg
iment. Some cam;
They are still enlarging thi'
camp; every q. m and every p, N
there are two train loads of work
nen coming from and going to Des
Moines, each train with Is coaches
You can easily imagine how much
work this number of men 9an do in
. day.
We have every evening in our Y
M. G. A classes of different studies
[ attend a French class. Most
very boy is interested in one class
IT another.
There is an old colonial style fire
place in one end of our Y. M. c. A
1t looks odd to see a number OF
boys sitting around the fire, talking
and laughing.
Every two weeks [ am 10 the

Camp Lee boys, reported by the
Harrisonburg I1fI;rendent Of The
2S,h, will be O! Interest to many Of
our people. l. fact, anything per
tail ing to tic life and Welfare OF
cur boys IN camp is eagerly read
by the friends ard loved ones at
home. Apropos of this subject it is
we'll for Us as parents and trlen1s
to hear various reports, for 1T is In
this wa that we reach more salts
factory conclusions as to actual
conditions there. 1t is no retec-
ton on our boys to say that the
disposition and temperament OF a
bow gives coloriog to his report.
Even John the Baptist got the
blues when placed in confinement.
In view of this law Ct nature, 1T is
we'll for parents to strike medium
between the optomistic, cheerful
boys report and that of the pro-
nounced home -loVlng recluse, and
a near correct conditions Of camp
life is obtained. Desperate and
deplorable as the situation IS, par.
ents may find comfort in the asaur-
ance that we have humane, consld-
crate men in authority, that a rich
government is behind them, and
that Uncle Sam is going to take the
best possible care of his soldiers,
whether in the trenches or in train
ing, and the boy who writes home
about bad treatment" and hard
fare is most likely learning his
first lesson in strict discipline,
while he longs for the dainty,
toothsome dishes to which he was
accustomed at home, and which
would now be harmful, if possible
under such circumstances.
The letters from home will have
much to do with the boys life In
camp. Cheerful, reassuring words
from mother and father will 60 far
in affording need:d courage and
contribute to their contentment,
and though q tear-staln may mark
the page on which they are written,
their bay will recognize it as a love
token, Il spur to real manhood and
valor.
The clipping from the Indepen-
dent is as follows:
In conversation with number
of the young men yesterday they
gave Al interesting description OF
thei; lie in camp. They say that
the sanitary conditions of the camp
are ideal and could not be improv-
ed upon. The leafs" as they call
them, are fine. Their menu each
day consists of roast beef, potatoes,
tomatoes, beans, butter, corn cakes
or corn bread, wheat bread, coffee
and everything else good to eat.

Cash That Will Mean Real,

1t will be a wary person indeed who
will escape the swimming pool fund
collector Monday, for he Is being sent
out with instruction to get every per-
son who has subscribed to the fund
and has not paid.
Emerson Stone, who has been ap-
pointed to take charge of the collec :
tions, has been given a list including
every person who has not paid his
pledge and he Is going after them with
nnrelenting persistence until they have
paid up.
Yesterday $3.50 was added to the
pool fund. Bernard Melton, aged two,
walked manfully into The Missoulian
office and placed a new dollar bill on
the counter. He said that he was
getting tired of the bathtub and want
ed something bigger to swim in.
Mrs. @. }. Brantzig turned In SIS and
I. d. Kline. who had previously sub
scribcd Sl.o0, appeared at the bank
and paid So, saying that he believed

that could be spared.
The finance committee expects to
have all the money subscribed by the
end of next week.

agricultural workers and harvesters to
let the fruit rot on the ground. The
construction workers were admonished
to lay down their tools. The lumber
workers are already on a strike. The
council met after receiving a telegram
from Chairman Henry Suzzallo of the
state council of defense in which he
urged that all workers be appealed to
to continue work until the harvests
have been completed and until the
country obtains all the products it
needs.

PRESIDENT PREPARING
TO FIX COAL PRICES
Action Imminent, According
to Indications in Capital.

Washington, Aug. 17.--Government
control. of the coal industry appeared
imminent today when President. Will
son turned his personal attention to
the subject and heard the mine op-
orators and miners presentation of
the situation. The interests of the
federal trade commission. which has
just completed its investigation of coal
production costs.
Provisions of the food control bill
giving the president power to fix coal
prices from the mine to the consumers
and investing in him authority to req
uisition all coal produced and sell It
| to the public are expected to be put
into operation almost Immediately.
The trade commissions report, II was
| learned tonight, will say that at pres
ent prices coal operators. iobbers and
retailers are reaping exorbitant profits
! and that inequitahle distribution Is
adding to the costs In many parts of
| the country.
The coal situation, according to Of
| ficials who have studied the subject.
is in a more chaotic state now than It
has been at any time.
The program many officials believe
President Wilson is most likely to
adopt under the power to control the
Industry. would provide that the gov
ernment commander all coal pro-
duccd, dividing the country into dis
tricts and fixing a maximum price for
each district Under this plan there
would be from seven to IL districts
and in each district a price would be
set based on an average cost Of pro-
duction. plus a definite percentage of
profit.
! Evidences that the country Is grow
Ing restiye under continued high prices
were seen by officials today in the
demand by representatives OF 13 state
councils Of defense meeting In Chi
cago that the. government take imme-
date action.
