troops at any desired point.
Vermont and Arizona have made
something Of special study Of their
transportation facilities for troop NOV

vised a seemingly practicable and
simple scheme of converting day
coaches into comfortable sleeping
quarters for the troops en- route.
The defense council CT the State of

matter OF transportation the three
principal railroads in the State each

the State councils there are a large
number of committees dealing with
various phases of the question Con
siderable statutory power has been
given the State councils OF defense in
many States over the production and
use of food, and every State has con
Quoted extensive propaganda for the
increase of planting and production OF
food and against waste and boarding.
This propaganda has been carried
out by he use Of bulletins and posters
encoura ging planting as a patriotic
duty and extensive publicity IN other
directions.
Agriculture has been thoroughly
dealt with in every State Loans have
been made to farmers for seed and
other necessities TO meet the situation
Agricultural labor exchanges have
been opened and farm labor surveys
undertaken to determine the need for
labor and TO aid in adjusting the sup
ply to the demand.
Boys Are Helping Everywhere.
The need for agricultural labor has
brought into being the splendid line
of work undertaken under the name
OF the Boys Working Reserve. In al
most every State extensive and effec-
tive efforts have been reported for the
utilization Of the labor of boys in
agriculture. Many of the States have
established supervised camps for the
boys Joining the reserve during their
summer vacation. This plan has
worked to so great mutual benefit
during the past season that it is to be
conducted on a nationwide scale next

publicity is maintained by the circu-

In the nature of things many of the
individual activities Of the various

have been found most effective

nationwide importance. Thus. the
War Department has benefited by the
cooperation OF the States in the mat

state councils Of defense for help in
the Liberty Loan: the Department OF
Agriculture benefits largely by the
working out of some Of their own

states: and the Department of Labor
has been materially enriched by CO
operation with state organizations.

thusiasm.
"Only the most cogent and compell-

have induced the emporer and DR.. Won

between Berlin and
Washington but we are ignorant of
their results. 1t cannot be imagined,
however, that there can be any new
yielding to American protestations and

WINGED that German strength will be
