There's lot of new faces at Camp

Enough likely Americans drifted into
the camp and volunteered their ser

The actual work of enlisting begins
today. when soldiers will be sent out
to round up many prospective sol

The powerful influence of children
has been brought to bear in further
ing the back yard garden movement
in Brunswick to meet the nations
peril from food shortage. More than
1900 school children have pledged
themselves to talk over the subject
with their elders and to, themselves
take active part in gardening. The
pledges were given to A. V. Wood
president of the board of education
through the teachers. Mr.. Wood now
is devising plan to give each
school child credit in their studies for
work done by them in gardens and
to also arrange a series of prizes fol
the best results obtained.
The board of trade has received
numerous letters offering lots and
plots to the garden committee and
the committee is now at work getting
data as to location and area of such
offered lots preparatory to arranging
for their use. This work will take
a number of days.

Copenhagen, April 1S.-The number
Of strikers in Berlin is placed even
in a semi-official report at $4,000,
and they are distributed, according to
the Tageblatt, through the machine
works, some electrical establishments
and part Of the munitions plants. The

NAL by the official news bureau that
munitions factories were affected.

Soldiers as well as police were
thrown about Inter der Linden and
the imperial castle. Crowds gather

and their temper, especially that OF
the women, is described as very bit
ter. The strikers denounced farmers,
wholesalers and government equally
for responsibility for the food situa-
ton
The Vorwaertz, the only big Der

based not only on the food situation
and q demand that internal reforms
be no longer delayed. but also on the
deep longing nf the people for peace.
There were no reports Of strikes
