By ellison Gardner

Washington, D. c., July 12.-When
your boy, Mr.. and Mrs. Neighbor, chos-
en- in the first citizen army, goes to
the cantonment city for his training
as a soldier you need not lie awake
nights worrying about his safety.
Leave hat to Secretary Of War Bak-
er, a trustworthy man who appreci-
ates boys, for he has taken the re-
s~ponsibility on his own shoulders.
The physical and moral health Of
the forces soon to be selected must
be safeguarded in every way, scienti-
fcally, and rigidly.
That, In a nutshell, Is the war
secretary's order, and he will make it
his personal business to see that the
order becomes the fact.
In effect, he has adopted the slogan
Of haste not, waste not" in caring
for that most precious Of national re-
sources, American manhood. That
the cantonment camps be right, rather
than that they be speedily available,
is his first concern.
No physical vultures, no moral vul-
lures will pray on your sons
There must be no repetition of
Camp Alger typhoid or embalmed beef
scandals" said the secretary in giving
directions. In no case shall the men
be called until every detail affecting
their comfort and health has been
worked out"
The water is to be scientifically test
ed and guarded by experts, Inspec-
tors r looking after the drainage
and sewage. Several times the plans
have been changed under medical de-

GREECE ENTERS THE WAR

Without a formal declaration, but relying on the no.
tifcations made earlier in the war by Premier venizelos,
Greece enters the war on the side of freedom and de-
mocracy.
This action has been expected ever since the late
king was deposed. 1t is what would have been done long
ago had it not been for the strong German proclivities of
the king. and his arrogant overriding of the will of the
people. Constantine was not unlike Charles I of Eng
land in that when he could not get along with his parlia-
rnent he undertook to rule without parliament. The ex-
pertinent was not successful in either case. Charles lost
his head, and Constantine lost his throne.
1t it not possible now, and it may never be possible,
to know Just what the attitude of the little Greek king
dom, as shaped by her puppet king who undertook to
play the tyrant, has meant to the world. It may be too
much to say that had Greece followed the course de-
rnanded by her treaties, by her obligations, by her inter-
est, by the will Of her people and the demand Of her
parliament, the war would have been over by this time.
Yet that &maysnot be an overstatement, after all.
The entente forces which landed in Greece at the
invitationso of the government were far from home, from
communications, and from supplies. Assured of the
safety Of their headquarters and Of their communica-
tons Herewith, they would have been in a position to
prevent the completion of the kaisers Communications
with Constantinople, could have held Bulgaria in check,
in all probability could have prevented the devastation of
Serbia, and could almost certainly have prevented the
rout Of Rumania. Germany and Austria would not have

PRICE MINI MUM BY LAW

According to the provisions Of one of the amend
ments to the food bill now being considered, a minimum
price Of s1.75 per bushel will be placed on wheat. The
brief dispatches covering the subject do not state at what
points it is proposed that this price shall be effective. It
will make some difference, Of course, whether a given
price is effective on the farm. at the local elevator, at
the interior terminal or at the seaboard.
Probably the authority Of congress to establish a
minimum price for wheat as a war measure will not be
questioned. There is, however, a very large question as to
the wisdom of congress doing anything of the sort. Con-
gress exists for the purpose Of making laws, and in most
cases those laws must, in the very nature Of things, be
general in their terms and their application. Take the
regulations relating to registration and draft, for in
stance. Congress enacted a general law covering the
subject, authorizing and directing the president to carry
out the provisions Of the law, and comforting on him large
discretionary powers in relation thereto. That was the
simple, direct and efficient way. The authority granted,
it was possible for the president to call to his aid men
who were experts in work of that class, and within a few
days to promulgate regulations. which congress could not
have reached in months had all the details been left for
formal &egislation.
The rational course, it seems, in the matter of wheat
prices, would be for congress to authorize the president
to fix minimum prices in accordance with his judgment.
The orders issued could then have been modified or an
nulled whenever the need arose, without an extra session
of congress being required.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR BOY in CAMP;
HE WILL SLEEP, EAT AND PLAY CLEANLY

Epartment orders. Air, light and heat
in winter, have been considered with
scientific accuracy. Commissary stores,
including clothing and food, will be
on hand before the men are called.
The food will be subject to the most
rigid inspection. and If this army Of
$4,000 is not the healthiest body of
men In the world, it will be because
the secretary Of war is unable to car
ry out his present firm determination.
In protecting morals the efforts Of
the government will be first to remove
beyond all reach red-light districts and
questionable resorts; and, secondly, to
substitute for the wrong kind Of
amusement plenty of healthy amuse-
ments. These are to include athletic
sports, theatrical attractions, moving
pictures, music, bands, choral singing
and dancing.
One committee is in communication
with prominent women to provide a
sufficient number Of nice girls with
chaperons for dances. It is recognized
that there can be none of the social
caste which makes the regular army
private an unsuitable person. to
dance with the daughter of the officer.
Many Of these citizen privates will be
men who have associated with the
best people in their community.
There will be lectures, supplements
ing h theatrical and moving picture
performances. The Y. M. G. A. has
already undertaken to provide libra
ries.
Each of these cities is likely to be
the home Of young soldiers at least a
year.

OUR FIRST BATTLE

The United States is not only at war, but its forces
have been doing actual fighting. The first battle of the
war. so far as this country was concerned, was a naval
battle between the ships conveying the American expedi-
ton across the ocean and a fotilla Of German subma-
rines. '-y" -. "=-
The bare fact that there was some such encounter
was made known within a few days after the safe arriv-
al Of the American ships at a French port, but only
officer in command reported that his convoy had been at
tackled, but had fought OFF the submarines, one of which
had evidently been hit by a shot, and was believed to
have been destroyed.
From German sources it is now given out that four
of the best U boats were destroyed in that engagement.
From other sources It is learned that a real battle was
fought, and that both good gunnery and good fortune
contributed to the safety Of the American ships, one Of
which is said to have been missed by but six feet by a
torpedo which, had the aim been better, would have
sent ship and troops to the bottom.
One Of the things needed in this war is shipping with
which to transport and protect the troops that GROSS the
now being raised by the government will be devoted to
meeting that need Every expeditionary force that
crosses the seas should be surrounded day and night by
so many swift fighting vessels that no enemy can come
near. About the time that the battle at sea was being
fought the campaign for the Liberty Loan was on. Had
the battle resulted otherwise, and had one or more ships
laden with American soldiers been destroyed, we imagine
that the average man would have been better satisfied
with his own course If he had been doing all that he
could to aid the government in making better provision
for the next time than if he had been holding back and
obiecting. -. . -

London, July IA gypsy's pro-

cessfully as to cause the kaiser to fear
the end of his rule has come.
1t is said inN 1s4s, the kaiser's
grandfather, Prince William of Prus-
sia. who had made himself unpopu-
lar during the Berlin revolution of a
before, was in Mainz, disguised
as a civilian and attended only by an
aid.
A gypsy woman addressed him as
Imperial Majesty and offered to tell
his fortune. Amused, because at the
time he thought his chance Of sue
ceeding even to the Prussian throne
was slight the prince asked:
Imperial Majesty and of what
empire, pray?"
"of the newk German empire"
was the reply.
And when is this empire to be

but it might as well be both. Here
is an extract from a recent editorial:
Words, words, words!
That is the impression we get
from the Presidents Flag Day speech.
IF our motives in the war are so
hig and holy, why is it that our rulers
are not willing to practise democracy
at home?
"Deeds-deeds making for democra-
cy in our own country-would be
more eloquent than words at this
time.
For example, submit the c~onscrip-
ton law to a referendum vote of the
people. It is not too late by n
means. 1t would not take long to
take the vote.
This would be a thousand times
more eloquent than words, words,

Here And There With the Vigilantes

Their was a time when we thought
of Gelett Burgess only as a humorist,
as h inventor Of the Coop and the
Purple Cow and the Bromide. But
the War, which has shown up a good
many people, has shown up Burgess
as a first-rate patriot. AS one of the
most active members of Sthe Vigil
lantes, he has been writing some STIR
ring articles, notably about the Red
Cross. His latest contribution is call
ed "Sentimentality Versus Trained
Nursing: Which Do You Prefer For
Our Wounded?" This article en-
phasizes the danger of our wounded
soldiers being nursed by incapable and
inexperienced women. Mr.. Burgess
says:
Partly inside, but mainly outside
the Red Cross there has lately devel-
soped a strong movement to extend
training of the Nurses Aids to in
Sclude a. few months hospital work.
Now, although at first glance this
would seem to be a practical step, be-
hind the project is quite evident an
attempt to place, later, these super
ficially trained students as regular
nurses ! n charge of the wounded.
