PASTORS APPEAL FOR
FOR Y. NJ c. A. FUND
Urge Support Of Work for Soldiers
and Sailors.

Washington pastors today appealed
to their congregations to contribute
to the Y. NJ. c. A. fund to aid In the
work for soldiers and sailors, in ac-
cordance with a proclamation issued
by the District Commissioners during
the week, making today "contribu-
ton day"
Uncle Sam cares Cor the physical
ellbeing of his forces, but on the
churches and associations like the Y.
NJ. c. A. the responsibility for their
moral tone largely lies.
The Commissioners asked the pas
tors to present to their congregations
the work being done by the associa-
ton and its needs, with q view to
arousing widespread interest and sup
port for its operations.
The association Is heartily Endorsed
by the Commissioners as "a practi-
cal, praiseworthy, splendid organi-
zation."
Contributions are being received at
association headquarters, 1875 G street
northwest.

PurposefuI ModeSty

Whatever the motive, the result Of
the plan as to the announcement OF
naval losses ought to be wholesome
It is said that when American sea
forces destroy submarines no news
of the fact will be given out, whereas
a full tale Of our losses will be told.
This is a wise adoption of the ex-
listing British policy. But it is a re-
versal Of old-fashioned ways among
European nations and Americans in
peace as in war. 1t is good practice
at all times. Anything that can check
the impulse to Drag and Glorify and
exaggerate may do US all good. not
only now but as long as its influence
lasts.

Under MaY

"The whole nation must be a
team" as the Presidents conscrip-
ton proclamation puts it, and the ma
ton is fortunate in the fact that its
present chief stands upon that neces-
sary principle. He promises that the
army will be recruited by careful Sc
lection among the men of military
age. Men are wanted in the ranks
or in the home tasks accordingly as
they are more fitted for fighting or
for the other work of war. The
principle is easily stated. Its appli-
cation is beset with as many Difficult
ties as there are millions Of men to
be dealt with. The real task of car
rying out CONSUMPTION lies ahead.
The country has been waiting for
yesterdays action. It will welcome
that action in a manner that the hesi-
tant brethren in Congress will no
doubt observe and marvel at. The
mood of the country has changed
since the period Of hesitation came
to an end. Action is now the de-
mand. And now at last it can be
said that Americas participation in
the war is under way.
Work once started, the country
hopes for the most steady and rapid
possible progress toward the victory
over Germany. If delays occur in
the mastering, or the training. or the
equipment, or the shipment, or the
foreign participation Of the men,
such delays will naturally call for ex-
PLANTATION from the Government. The
public welcomes now the first Wig
orous move, and will call for and well
come those that should succeed it.
Impatience and unreason on the pub
lies part would on the other hand
provoke rash moves and end in the
slaughter of thousands of American
soldiers, just as delay and inertia in
the prosecution of the military plans
would result in the defamation of our
allies and eventually in a harder
task, perhaps, and certainly a less
glorious one for this country. I'M
patience and delay are twin dangers
in the nations path, to be alike
avoided.
The decision to dispatch a division
Of regulars to France under General
Pershing should satisfy the immedi-
ate sentimental need for unfolding
our standard on the fields Of France.
It will not answer the demand of
Joffre and Petain that America send
re-enforcements soon. For that many
successive divisions will be neceG

The Food Administrator

The expected appointment OF Her
bert C. Hoover to his important post
is accompanied with admirable state
ments by the President and by Mr..
Hoover himself. The President does
not minimize the greatness Of the
powers he is asking Congress to be-
stow upon the Executive, but at the
same time puts the need for their ex-
ercise in so strong a light that the
granting of them becomes a fore
gone conclusion. The people want
cheaper food, they want speculation
stopped, and exorbitant charges
brought to an end. At the same
time, they want to feel that stimula-
ton Of production and economy In
consumption will both count for the
feeding of our allies and the win
ming Of the war.
Mr.. Hoover, in undertaking this
great task without other compensa-
ton that comes to a patriot for use
full service to his country, strikes a
reassuring note in saying that not
a food dictator but q food admins
traitor is needed; that the voluntary
cooperation Of the community and
the services of competent volunteers
in administration are desired; and
that the work can best be done by
the correlation of existing agencies.
Mr.. Hoover has already made most
pleasing impression upon the Agri-
cultural Committees Of the House
and Senate, whose backing is per-
haps essential to the success Of the
legislation desired.
Especially important is the relation
to exist between the Department OF
Agriculture and the food admins
TRAITOR. As the President puts it
"All measures intended directly Il
extend the normal activities Of the
Department of Agriculture in refer
ence to the production, conservation
and marketing Of farm crops will b

The potential position of tn

Extraordinary profits at one end o
the line mean undue scarcity of foo,

piece Of good luck for the American
people that a man SO effective ant
disinterested, already having gaine'
inestimable experience and world
wide fame as q food administrator

Everybody's Task

Pushing the Liberty Loan is for
the moment the chief business Of the
country and the business of the whole
country. 1t was not expected that
the two billions would be subscribed
in a day or in a week, since a period
Of six weeks was set apart for the
subscription. Perhaps if the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury had zone about
the task Of raising the money in the
easiest way it could have been Sc
cured without much trouble, fuss or
delay, but for political reasons it was
desirable to resort to the popular
placement of the debt and shun the
money lenders.
Consequently the money must be
obtained not in the market but by
the process Of culling it wherever it
grows, and the task requires time
and application. Mr.. McAdoo, now
apparently fully awake to the task,
is forming an organization for push
ing the loan. Financial leaders are
out on speaking tours, telling what
assistance the subscribers to the loan
NAV hope to obtain from the bank
ing institutions. Certain business
and individual groups are taking
Joint action in subscribing or stlmu-
lating subscribers.
The Union Pacife's praiseworthy
scheme, enabling its employees to OBJ
tain advances on part Of their sal
aries against their loan subscriptions
is a remarkable indueement to popu-
lar subscription and saving, one that
can and probably will be widely
copied. The offer Of the National
Association Of Credit Men is another
fine piece Of shrewd volunteer help
The credit men know where the
money grows, and they can dc
more than any one else to helI
Mr.. MeAdoo find it, if he will lei
them tell him. Not many poten'
tial subscribers are likely to es'
cape the notice Of these 22,0OC
men, whose business is to observ'
and measure the means Of others
These are but two examples o.
the way in which patriotic citizens
can throw in their help at unex
pected points. The total labor re
ouired to get the two billions to
gether should not be underesti
mated. The ability Of each mai
to help, of each organization o
group Of men to help, as men ant
organizations helped in recruiting
in preparing the coast guard flo
tilla, and in other respects a feV
weeks ago, should likewise not b
underestimate.
This is the initial big loan, an
we have not acquired the habit o
it yet. England's most successful
loan was her latest. The initia
difficulties are great with the frs
loan. The country must help pu
it through. We know Of no on
who cannot do his bit to help tn
placing of the loan in some wa
or other. Let it be the country
loan campaign rather than Nj
McAdoo's.
