of War Problem.

The first blow in the battle against
pacifism was struck when Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, Of Massachusetts, and a
young pacifst, Alexander Bannwart,
clashed in the Capitol. Just outside Sena-
ator Lodges Office. A group of peace
delegates including Bannwart sought to
see Senator Lodge at his Office. The Sem
ator, whose Office Is small. came into the
hail, and I'm 'he ensuing argument, It II
alleged by the Senator that Bannwart
called him a coward. whereupon the SEN
ator retorted In kind.
Opinion differs as to who struck the
first blow, but, at any rate. the Senator
was hit in the face. and. although a man

came another remarkable statement bor-

gentlemen whose loyalty has been ques-

S., 900 For The Best
Canned Produce Of The
Country's War Gardens

Washington, Aug. Cone thous-
and cash prizes aggregating $4,000
for the best canned product of the
war gardens in every state is the Of
fer made today by Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the National
Emergency, Food Garden Commission
which is making the final drive for
canning and drying of food in its
campaign which has now been on for
six weeks.
Any one who reads the call to the
women of the country as issued by
President wilson, said Mr.. Pack.
twill readily see the need of bending
every effort toward food conserva-
ton. We have been driving at this
for six weeks now and as the canning
season progresses the commission
wants every one who wins blue rib
bon in the hundreds of fairs that will
be held to exhibit war garden pro-
duce to gain national recognition for
their work. With each cash prize
will be given a certificate Of merit
which will show what the winner did
to help feed the nation.
1--WE have carried on a campaign
for food garden planting in every CT
ty and town in the country just as
the Department of Agriculture has
carried the food production message
to the farmer. Our nationwide sur
vey Of the results of the work show
ed there had been an increase of
-222 per cent. These city farmers will
can millions of quarts of their pro-
duce and it is these we want to re-
ward for their fine work
President Pack said the details of
the competition would be made pub
lie shortly and he requested all man
ayers of war garden exhibits and ex-
hibitions write to the Commission at
210' Maryland bldg, for information.
The Commission is sending out hun
dreds Of thousands of. drying and
canning manuals to any one who
sends a two cent stamp.
