There is talk OF extending the nro-

with the contract just awarded by Sec
retary Daniels was received here to-
day. II came as blow to the Navy
Department
Despite the prediction OF many naval
officers Mr. Daniels had believed that
the contract which he awarded 10 the
British firm would go through. Now
that It has failed the Navy Depart
ment is more than ever at the mercy Of
the very firms which Secretary Daniels
has been fighting. The navy must have
projectiles and there is no place outside
OF the American steel companies where
they can be obtained.
Mr.. Daniels said to-day that he would
not consider permitting Hadfelds.
Limited. to carry out the contract IL the
British Government insisted on post
poning delivery until after the war. He
said with some show of bitterness that
he had particularly told Hadhelds rep
rcsentative here not to bid unless he
knew he could make the deliveries in ac-
cordance with the specifications Mr..
Daniels says he was Informed that the
deliveries could be made.

With Great Britain buying all the steel

J. C. Safley who attended the Uni

who has been connected with the Mo-
line Daily Dispatch for some time
past, has purchased the Idaho Coun-
ty Free Press published at Grangeyllle
from L. A. Wisener. Mr.. Wisener ac-
quired the property in 1907 and has
since conducted one of the really good
weekly newspapers of the state. He
was appointed postmaster at Grange
vile under President Wilson and was
recently reappointed for four years.
His growing official duties led to his
sale of the Free Press. Mr.. Safely has
had varied newspaper experience and
as he is a young man of vigor and
ambition he will no doubt keep the
Free Press up to it's high standard.

pointment from Herbert S. Hoover
that is complimentary to her ability
and influence The title of the appoint
ment is director of home economies for

to have some one at the head of the

who is well trained and one who has
much executive ability. The food con-

istration decided that Miss Hoover
was the woman for that place. One
of the duties is to look after the
work of the women county agents of
this state. The main idea is to have
all organizations responsible to this
head of the department There will be
much travelling and much correspond
ence attached to the work.
Miss Hoover and DR.. E. H. Lindley
talked the matter over and unless
things become too complicated, with
the help of her assistants, Miss Hoover
can take charge of both her duties
at the university and for the govern

ILLUSTRATION 0E r. WHAT THE
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE
DOING AT HOME

WASHINGTON-Clad in new uni
forms, and equipped with sweaters
and helmets furnished by the Navy
League comforts committee, 1000 men
from the Allentown Ambulance camp
have sailed for service at the front
in France.
snugly fitting over their heads and
around their necks the 1000 bright
fellows who have gone to alleviate
suffering in the trenches looked like
so many water aviators' as they hung
over the deck rails of the trans-At-
lantic steamer which was to carry
them into service abroad.
The comforts committee of the Navy
League, knowing that these men would
be exposed night and day to the hard
ships of a bleak, cold winter of nor
thern France, sent three shipments of
warm wooden garments TO the COM
mander of the Allentown camp.
Sweaters, helmets, mufflers, and
wristlets, made by the hands of moth
ers. sisters and sweethearts left be-
hind, were included for the boys who
volunteered to labor for the suffering.
That the ambulance drivers appre-
ciate the patriotic labor of the Amer
ican women who unselfishly gave time
and money to provide them with nee
essary warm clothing is demonstrat-
ed by a letter which has been receiv-
ed by an official of the Navy League
from Commander ]. R. Devereaux of
the ambulance corps going to France.
"We have the boxes containing the
sweaters, helmets, etc." wrote Colonel
Devereaux, "and the final distribution
