FRATERNAL ORDERS
BARRED By BAKER
Says Y M C A Represents Protes-
tants and Knights of Columbus
Roman Catholics

Washington, Sept Am a letter to
Congressman William schley Howard
Of Georgia, Secretary of War Baker
has final ruling that Masons, Odd
Fellows and other fraternal organiza-
tions can not be given the privileges
of erecting club houses in army camps
and cantonments, and says that the
previous order that the Y. M C. A., the
Knights Of Columbus and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association only can De
admitted to the camps to erect social
buildings and recreation quarters will
stand. ! :. -... s..aH;;
Secretary: Baker says that general
misunderstanding has arisen on this
question. The department has been
flooded with requests from all sorts Of
organizations, religious and otherwise,
including athletic organizations, ask
ing to minister exclusively to its own
membership inside the camps. EFF We
let down the bars to one, We would
have to take the same action with re-
gard to ALL" says MIR. Baker.
He points out that the Y. NJ. C. A.
and the Knights of columbus have for
some years, both in this country and
abroad, been represented in army
camps, serving the soldiers along rec
reation and social lines without regard
to any question Of membership.
The 2. M. C. A. represents the Pro
testant denominations which, he says.
will constitute roughly 10 per cent OF
the new army, the Knights Of Colan-
bus, the Catholic denominations, which
will constitute 35 per cent. Neither
organization is to conduct its work on
any exclusive basis but for the benefit
Of all the troops in the camps. Mr..
Baker says that no dissemination
against any fraterna1 order is intend
ed, but it would be physically impossl-
BILE from the standpoint Of space 70
allow many different organizations,
such as Odd Fellows, Knights or
Pythias, etc.. to be admitted. He sug-
gests that the latter, organizations
have a splendid opportunity in min,
istering to the recreation and social
needs OF their membership in the COM
munities in the neighborhoods in when
the military camps are located and
many have already begun thfs work.

Civilian clothes will not be retained

TO Understand ImmenSity VI
the Task

Paris, Sept. 1.-Major Gen. Pershlns,
who has remained in Paris clearing up
the work at his old headquarters an
who is not going to field headquarters
until Sunday or Monday, declared To-
day in connection with the plans Tor
the coming winter that the American
people must learn the meaning and
value of patience and not expect that
the expedition forces landed in France
can be rushed Immediately to front
line trenches.
To put an inadequate, insufhcientiy
supplied force into actual combat, ne
said, would merely be making mis-
take, which the Germans unquestion-
ably have hoped and expected the
United States would make. It is the
intention, rather, that when America
does take her place in the line, shout
der to shoulder with the other allies
next year, she will be fully prepared
to go through the summer campaign
and make the Germans feel the full
weight of her military power,
Immense Task
while those of us who have fully
studied the situation and who know
what is necessary to be DONE" said
Gen Pershing to the Associated Press.
<sare anxious that the people at
home strive to realize the immensity
of the task in which We are engaged
and shall have patience and help us
accomplish that aim in the shortest
possible time.
seWe came into the war without an
army. So now We must build an en-
tire new organization and build it so
big and so strong that We can take
our place along with our Allies, VINO
already have had three years time ana
experience.
Hard to Understand
"I realize how very difficult it is for
The people at home to understand the
war, to understand the effort that lies
behind the war. Our problems are
greater than anythat France or Great
Britain had to solve, but we are SOW
ing them and will continue to do so. {
"It is impossible to create a vast
fighting machine merely by the wave
of a wand. I wish that it were posi-
bic to do so and that we might be
fighting the German Government this
minute. We know that the only way
to defeat the German army IS to ham
mer it and keep on hammerfng it..
That is what we expect to be doing
with all our fresh strength and en-
Shusiasm during next years cam
paign."

There has as yet been no statement
along this line from either Senator

APPLE PIE IN EARLY DAYS.
ToothsOme Pastry Known and Ap-
preciatcd by George Washington.

Rochester Democrat: The origin of
the toothsome variety of pastry known
technically and practically as apple pie
has long been shrouded in mystery.
That 1t has had long. If not eventful
history is. evidenced by the distinct
recollection of men now approaching

NATIONS WASTE UTILIZED.
The Dump Piles Are Being Made to
Yield Dollars i'm Some Cities.

Boston Transcript: Utilization OF
waste products is a newer idea in eco
nomics than conservation of resources.
Recently the Merrimac Chemical Com
pany contracted for heavy deliveries of
iron ore to be produced from waste ma
terial that hitherto has not rated very
high among commercial products. The
Boston Elevated Railway Company re-
ceives about $500 a month from the
sale of waste paper principally discard
ed newspapers that its employees pick
up. A visit to the Easements Of CONNER
cial houses in Boston discloses the fact
that many of them have installed
presses by which they bale all the waste
and packing material to be sold as raw
material for new composites.
Some cities are able to commercialize
their dumps by selling to somebody the
exclusive right to take care of the dump
for the paper and scrap iron that may
be found there. Paper mills are trying
to perfect their utilization of the fiber
that goes out with the sludge on the fill.
ter beds.
Burning charcoal is one of the latest
moves in the utilization of waste in
Massachusetts, first because it converts
into a marketable product some forest
wood that has been a source of expense
to land owners in the past, and second
ly because both the wood alcohol and
the acetate Of lime that are in the wood
can now be saved. An even more mark.
ed advance, perhaps, in the utilization
of useless forest products is the harvest
ing of alder wood, which formerly has
been cut out and burned in heaps at
considerable expense to the landowners
but now is in demand for black powder
These observations suggest the approach
of time when everything that grows
Will have commercial value, and the
enormous waste still going on will cease
