central office of the Five Years Meet
ing Of Friends in America, issued here
today by Walter c. Woodward. gen.
eral secretary. The Friends may be
expected to maintain their historic
position against war, he declares, both
as matter Of principle and of policy.
They are none the less loyal to the
government and will be found doing
their bit" in ways consonant with their
convictions Attention is called TO the
heroic and self-sacrificing service rem
dered by English Friends In Belgium
France and Russia, as indicative of
the practical. constructive service that
may be expected of the disciples of

Friends toward this end is projected.
The statement of the general secretary

THE Friends in America enter Wig
orous protest against the tendency In
the present crisis to identify pacifism
with disloyalty. There may be dis

the history Of Quakerism should place

are for the nation and humanity, for
which they are prepared to suffer and
to sacrifice. They are ready to prove
their patriotism no less than their pa

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 19,-Many calls
continue to come to Adj.-Gen. Guy f.
Logan for guards about elevators and
The adjutant general replies that the
state is not paying men to guard pri-
vate property but that If the owners
Wish guards he can furnish limited
number OF guardsmen for such places.
The men who are guarding the rail-
road bridges and the public buildings
are under the government and are in
the federal service, The government
has the railroad bridges guarded in
order that all transportation lines may
be kept open.
Recruiting in the navy, the army and
in the national guard has been lively
this week. IN Des Mones more than
twice as many men are going into the
navy as in any other branch of the
service.
No Training Camp For Iowa.
The recent order by the war depart
ment as to officers training camps
indicates that Fort Des MOineS may
not be used for such a camp. Accord
ing 10 this order Fort Smelling, Mime

officers from Iowa, Minnesota, Mort h
Dakota. South Dakota and Nebraska.
Not a sufficient number Of teachers
can be provided to maintain any large

A Wasp That Uses Tools.

Wasps are in one respect more civ
flied than an other insect or animal.
John Burroughs tells US that, though
it has been thought that man Is the
only tool using animal, yet there Is one
species Of wasp, ammophila, that uses
little pebble to pound down the earth
over her nest. She takes the pebble
in her mandibles, as you or would
take stone in our hand, and uses 1t
as hammer to pound down the soil
above the cavity that holds her egg.
This Is remarkable fact. So far as
know there is no other animal on this
continent that makes any mechanical
use Of an object or substance foreign
to its own body in this way"

ENGLAND TO PURCHASE FOOD!
sTUFFs IN IOWA AND ADA
CENT STATES.
LIKELY TO
REACH $4,000 900
British Representative Cenfers With
Davenport Dealers-Would Establish
Food Reserve Houses-Store Food.
stuffs For Six Months and Then Ship
to European War Front.

Davenport, April 1a.-That England
is about to purchase approximately
$40, 100000 worth % foodstdffs in Iowa
and adjoining states became known
yesterday when it was learned that L.
:. James, of Chicago, representative
Of the English concern that sells to
me British government, held con-
ference with J. A Bell and NJ. v Jones,
of the Bell-Jones Company here. at
which preliminary negotia tons were
gone into regarding tire purchase Of
gigantic quantities of eggs, butter,
poultry anu cheese. The plan is to
purchase fcodstuff and store II away
for about six months, when it will be
shipped abroad.
No deal has as yet been completed
with the Bell-Jones company. Mr..
James is today somewhere" in Wis
consir procuring prices and collecting
data regarding the states food output.
He will return to Davenport in several
days
Ii Is understood that the British gov
eminent Is in the market for 2.G00 cars
poultry oT SG1GGGGG pounds see cars
Of butter or 5OOO0O09. and 1900 cars
of cheese or 200,000.000 pounds.
Establish Food Reserve Houses.
1t is believed that several such food
reserve cold storage houses will be
esta blished thruout the west. Other
enormous purchases would then be
made.
Mr. James stated TO Mr.. Jones that
the amour: OF foodstuff 10 be bought
would run sky high" Bell-Jones COM
| pany admitted that the British repre-
sentative had called upon them. No
definite arrangements, howeevr, were
made.
Iowa IS recognized as one Of the
leading. If not the best food produc-
| ing state in the west. This Is espe-
| cially true in regard 10 eggs, poultry,
butter and other farm prcduce.
| Cost Of Produce.
| Eggs would wholesale at about %
cents a dozen. There are 1000 cars
wanted. There are 400 cases in car
| and thirty dozen eggs in case. This
brings the price, per case at about
| $3.50 A car load would cost $4,000
! ana I,VbV car ipduS Sp,uVv,UVU-
Poultry would probably wholesale at
| 90 cents per pound. The agent wants
at least 500 cars. which would cost
| 81. 900, 900.
The price Of butter per pound at
wholesale is about 35 cents. The price
| for 500 cars would range around
| 50, 900, 900. Cheese sells for about Il
cents wholesale. The cost of 1000 cars
| would be approximately $1,000. 600.
The freight on this enormous ship
ment would be around $1,000,000.
Whether or not any big deals for
the purchase Of foodstuffs have been
completed Is not learned. 1t Is felt
however thai contracts will be closed
! before Mr. James returns to Chicago
1t is believed that when needed the
food will be shipped direct to the wal
! front.
| 1t is altogether probable that guards
will closely watch all food reserve
stations should they be established
| Every precautiOn would be taken &c
