Horse Chestnuts for Munitions


Applications arc being received by the
Director OF Propellant Supplies from many
private individuals for information and for
sacks and baskets for harvesting the horse
chestnut crop, by the use of which in the
making Of munitions, as has already been
explained, u large quantity of grain which
would otherwise be required for the purpose
can be released for use as food.
Arrangements for the voluntary collection
of the chestnuts, it is believed, will be car
ried out most effectively by local committees
formed in connection with schools or groups
Of schools, as suggested in a circular issued
by the Board of Education, and intending
collectors are asked to obtain information
from and TO cooperate with these local com
mittees.
1t is particularly requested that nuts
should not be gathered until they are fully
ripe. Unripe nuts are of no value for the
purposes contemplated. Sacks and baskets
should only be used for conveying chestnuts
to the local heaps, and not for their storage
The number OF sacks and baskets is strictly
limited but in localities where sacks, bas-
kets or other means Of conveying chestnuts
70 the heap are insufficient endeavors will
be made to make good the deficiency as far
as possible on receipt of a requisition from
the local committee.

The High Cost of Keeping Clean

The $3.50 day that the newly organ
lied washerwomen of Chicago are asking
for their services may seem too tidy
sum for the average famly's war budget,
as the housewife vainly recalls the good
old days when the faithful days worker
came for 70 cents and was grateful to get
her midday meal.
Now, indeed, it's not only the washer
woman's $3.50 and carfare that hurt, but
it's the accessories, as it were. There
must be coffee for her majesty when she
arrives, and luncheon, not mere lunch
of leftovers. as Of old; and then along
about o'clock the guest suddenly becomes
50 faint that unless tea is applied the
family wash is likely not to emerge from
the laundry at all.
Then. too, in order to be patronlzed by
any self-respecting washerwoman these
DAYS. a housekeeper must provide all the
latest eouipment. electric irons, ironing
mangles for sheets, the newest wrinkle IN
washboards the last word in boilers. soap
and the best powders have shot upward III
nrice: starch must be the handpicked va
rietv that comes in boxes and is priced ac-
cordingly. These. then, are strenuous and
extensive days for the housekeeper who
has her washing "done in and she may be
inclined to regard the washcrwoman's new
rate as the added insult to long list OF
laundry injuries.
But it is safe to assume that the days
arc none too easy for the washerwoman
herself. Tvelve-cent milk, 1O-cent bread
and double priced wooll-ns do not promise
the cheeriest winter imaginable for the
Woodworking, burdened, middle aged wom-
en- that seem to make up the worlds ranks
Of laundresses, and $3.50 is no longer q
princely sum on which to live, no matter
how humble your standards or how few
YOUR children and grandchildren. Also,
the washerwoman always has husband to
be supported in the manner to which he
has been accustomed anyhow, ones
clothes have to be washed. So Chicago's
housewives will grin if they can as they
pay. but they'll pay.

titude toward her. The destroyed German
business offices in Buenos Ayres are some
thing Of q counterpoise TO the ruins that
Germany has strewn over Europe. IL Ger
many has burned French villages and Bel
gian cities. the world has paid the debt by
extirpating every German root outside
the Central Powers. When the war is
over England and France and Russia and
Italy can begin where they left off in their
/ commercial relations with the world. They
have made, not lost, friends since the war
began. They have as allies now nations
which were only remote friends four years
ago. American credit will follow Ameri-
can soldiers to France. American capital
will rebuild Belgium and the ruined dis
! tricts of France. But where will Germany
| find friends when the war is over? Wher-
ever she turns there is only to be found the
harvest sown by her submarines, her aero
/ planes, her devastating armies and her
plundering civil governments.
The full burden Of German defeat in
this war is not yet appreciated either in
Germany or elsewhere. 1t will not be APP
preciated until the end of the war. What
Germany has lost is not shown on the map,
which eloquently testifes to what she has
temporarily gained. The true fallacy and
futility of the German method we see only
in detail now We shall see them clearly
later. The real German defeat has been the
destruction of German credit and German
reputation and German commercial estab-
lishments over the whole world. Even if
Germany were to retain her road to the
Near East, from Berlin to Bagdad, it would
be no counterweight to what she has lost
beyond the seas. Another year of war, and
the whole world will count for Germany
no friend beyond the reach of her own
artillery. And there will be another year
Of war

The skippcrs and the mates, they know!
The mer aloft or down below
They've heard the news and still they 20.
The merchant ships still jog along
By Bay or Cape, an endless throng,
As endless rs a scaman's song.
The humber tramps aloft display
The English flag as on the day
When no one troubled such as they.
The lesser ships, barques, schooncrs. briggs,
A motley crowd Of many rigs.
Go on their way like farmers gigs
Where lEolus himself has thrones
The big four-master Glasgow owns
Through Trades and Roaring Forties drones
The lofty liners in their pride
Stem every current, every tide:
At anchor in all ports they ride.
They signal Glib. which looks and winks;
Grave Malta sees them as she thinks;
They pass old Egypt's ageless Sphinx
Socotra knows them: Zanzibar
Mirrors them in its oil: they arc
Hove to for pilots near and far.
For them Belle Isle and bright Penmarch
Shine million candled through the DARK,
They're inside Ushant, or by Sark.
Perrin and Ormuz and Cochin
Know them and nod: The mingled din
OF cities where strange idols grin.
The wharves of sea-sct Singapore.
Batavia and Colombo's shore,
Where over palms the monsoons roar.
The opened parts of shut Japan,
Chemulpo's harbor and Gensan,
Strange places, Chinese, Formosan!
Head hunters watch them in close seas,
Timor, Gillolo, Ceebes.
They sail by the New Hcbridcs.
Their spars are tried by southern gales,
Great alien stars shine on their sails
Set for the breeze or in the brails.
To carry home their golden rape
A thousand courses still they shape
BY the lone Horn or windy Cape.
They've seen the hot seas dreadful drouth,
The bitter gales of Sixty South.
Disasters fell and greedy mouth:
The menace Of the berg and foe.
The blindness OF the fog and snow
All these the English scamcn know.
From Sydney TO San Salvador
They know what they are seeking for:
Their gods are not the gods Of war.
And still they calmly jog along
BY Bay and Cape, an endless throng.
As endless as some watch song.

The Fight for Wooden Ships
IRON The Portland Ore0onioD

iITON me fOFIiudu Oi'VV"'"''
Il is high time that the Pacific Northwest
took concerted action in defence Of its rising
wooden shipbulding industry lest the un-
friendly attitude Of the authorities at Wash
;ngton snuff out its life in infancy. The orig
inal plan Of the United States Shipping
Board to build d thousand wooden ships for
the war emergency was defeated b. the OPP
position of General Goethals. When he re-
signed there was hope that his successor,
Admiral Capps, would assume more friend
ly attitude, but William Denman and Theo-
dore Brent members Of tie Shipping Board,
who had been stanch advocates Of the
wooden ships, retired with the general and
were succeeded by men from the East and
Middle West who knew nothing Of the Pa
cihc Coasts capacity to build wooden ships,
except by hearsav. Admiral Capps's approval
Of the new industry has become steadily
more doubtful, until it seems now to have
no friends among the men who are charged
with shiDbuilding for the government.
The most serious criticism of the present
position Of the government is that 1t Will
neither fish nor cut bait. II neither uses
the capacity of the wooden shipyards, be-
yond contracts already let, nor does it per-
nit anybody else to occupy the ways. If
the Shipping Board has definitely decided
10 let no more contracts, it should say so
and set the shpbuilders free to accept con-
tracts from others. North Pacific ports
need ships TO carry their own products TO
Eastern and European markets, and should
be permitted to build them.

The First Battle
Translated by S. Elizabeth Sergeant

one think OF the North at midnight and
the hands Of even the least rich among US
are lit UP as By some sort OF powerful
radum. The night draws nearer US, from
behind, as il we were defending il. NO
more shadows; ours have already deserted
w, as if the battle were going TO be serious,
as if the adjutants had asked Us for them
just now, with our registration books. Not
q wandering star-all day long the cannon
have been shaking down from the sky every
thing that was lightly attached to 1t; no
more wsYering consultations, nothing but
the fixed stars plunged TO their very hits.
They are really all one sees; in spite Of
ones self one stares at them and assumes
gallant and naughty air for these remote
worlds, whose whole interest, by the bye,
must at present be centred in Artaud's
white horse.
