Vice CRUSADE HEARD
War Department and Maj. Pullman
Commend Citizens Work.

Letters commencing in the highest
terms the cooperation between citi-
zcns and police in the recent cam
paign against vicious conditions in the
southwest section of the city, were
last night received and read before
a meeting of the Southwest Civic As
ISOLATION at Randall School from the
War Department and Maj. Pullman,
superintendent of police.
That such evils existed under the
very shadow of the Capitol dome, and
at time when Washington sets the
example followed by all American
cities, was first exposed through a
systematic crusade conducted through
the columns of The Herald. Investi-
gators were sent out, who made per-
sonal reports of their findings on
liquor selling to men in uniform. as
well as open solicitation of soldiers
by prostitutes, both colored and white.
Through daily disclosures in The
Herald, public opinion was reused to
take action in cleaning up the dives
and stopping the race riots, which
grew out of trouble between drunken
negroes and white soldiers and ma
rines.
officers for the year were elected as
follows: r.. c. Brooks, president: H.
ii. Bank. vice president; James A
Ellis, secretary, and r. Chapman
treasurer.
This was the first regular meeting
of the fall for the association, and
work was mapped out in a tentative
way for the remainder of the year.

But, hastened by love, he left his
station only six hours before his leave
went into effect. His captain sent q

why he had left so soon. On receiv-

Asserting that millions of people In
the United States will, this year, be
undernourished by reason of the high
cost of food necessities. due to the
fact that the prohibitive prices on
meats. cereals and other commodities
will force unbalanced meals, lacking
In both quantity and essential nutri-
ment. the Department OF Agriculture,
in cooperation with the Federal Food
Administration, have inaugurated a
campaign against the waste of grain,
and other food products.
How to boost the demand for cheap,
palatable and nourishing foods with
out boosting the price has been a
problem these officials have been try
ing for some time to solve. 1t is a
problem involving the health, happi-
ness and military efficiency OF mil
lions Of the American people. and its
prompt solution has become a vital
military necessity of the nation.
The initial move in this direction
will be one to conserve the oils and
germ Of the grain by encouraging the
consumption of whole-wheat, corn,
oats. soy beans. cow-peas and many
similar foodstuffs that furnish the
needful elements of food combined in
the high-prlced products, such as
meats.
An educational campaign for the
purpose of demonstrating the prin-
ciples Of home economics In the cities
OF the nation is to be started, in an
effort to show the people of small or
! moderate incomes what are the
J cheapest, most palatable and most
nourishing foods now on the market.
1t was stated at the Departmen u

kind have been made before, with the
result that whenever the eating OF

the fact that the allies plan no

merely local, and that they are wait
