EIGHTY CENTS GRAFT:
TWENTY CENTS RELIEF

THE NEWS is inclined to be optim-
paigns that are in progress all over
the United States, but at the same
time we are of the opinion that they
will bear watching. 1t is the history
of world that campaigns of this char
acter have always afforded excellent
chances for the official CRATER to get
in his or her work, with the pitiful re.
suit that the really one hundred per
cent OF relief rendered to the victims
in good faith by the American people
when the grafters got through with
their share. The remaining twenty
per cent. finally reaches the sufferers.
This is history founded on absolute
facts, as revealed by many startling
revelations.
in the daily papers from Chicago the
proposal of Miss Jane Adams, the
noted Hull Settlement worker, that an
international body be appointed to feed
the women and children and other nOn-
combatants of all the belligerent ma
tons.
The trouble with that would be that
if the altruists should feed the German
women and children the Prussian Horn
Book of War would not admit of the
women and children eating at the first
table. The soldiers of Gods partner"
would take the food away from the wO-
men and children, get outside of it, and
then hustle away TO the parapets of
the firing lines to pour a hail of steel
balls into the Allies and their friends
of America whose compatriots had
sent the food.
Uncle Joe Cannon, the patriarch of
the National House of Representa-
tives. refuses to be carried away by the
poular hysteria regarding the war
sufferers and points out to patriotic
Americans the danger of their contri-
buttons getting into the hands of the
enemy, and missing the original aim.
Graft rules the world to-day, and from
il the war sufferers will be deprived
of the sustenance that generous pub
lie intended for them instead of the
German army.

LAYING UP FOOD SUPPLIES.

A Paris merchant told THE NEW 5
man Saturday that he had sold more
goods in the last month or so than for
many years. He said that customers
who formerly purchased flour by the
small sack are now getting it by the
barrel, and that it was the same way
in regard to supplies of sugar
He thinks, and very likely he is right.
that they are laying up food supplies
fearing the scarcity that is predicted
will pinch them. Whether or not that
scarcity will come, those who are buy
ing nov are making good investments.

getting higher and higher every day.
and there's no telling when it will stop.

OFFICERS SCHOOL RETAINER

The decision to give pupils at the
officers reserve school a retainer OF
500 month during their three
months study will equalize the condi-
tions at the training places and make
it possible for men to try for commits
sions on terms abundantly attractive.
No other army in the world has made
young men-between 10 and 44-Such
an offer as 500 a month for three
months ON probation and a chance of
commission at the end of that very
brief period. The pay of American
army officers is such that a man who
would be capable of earning a good
living outside of the army can afford
to accept it.
Men who went TO West Point and
spent several years in hard study will
envy the civilians their opportunity
to pick I'D a commission in three
months in circumstances making il
probable that a promotion will occur
within twelve months from the time
of their entrance into the army. a
man without any military education
may hope to become Captain or even
Major within year.
The man who proves himself good
officer may hope to remain in the army
permanently. No doubt the schools
will get sufficient number of men in a
short time The chance is worth the
attention of anyone who is eligible in
the matter of age and who can pass
the physical examination.

HOW THE BLUEJAcKET LEARNS
THE USES OF PUBLICITY.

No matter how small the town, even
so diminutive from a standpoint of
population that it has been left off the
printed maps and no matter what its
daily or weekly newspaper is, whether
it is printed on a four deck cylinder or
creaky and antiquated Washington
hand press, it still is the proud
possessor of a travelling correspondent
who is in all parts of the world. He
keeps in touch with his home town
newspaper, not through thrilling sto-
ries or events that are making his
tory, but more specifically with the
little items of interest that are just
what the folks at home want to read
when the carrier leaves the daily paper
att he door or Uncle Sans post leaves
the weekly at the r. F. ID. box by the
roadside.
The sailor of to-day is always in
touch with his home town paper. He
may be blissfully unconscious of the
fact that he is a travelling correspond
ent, but he is just the same; for the
Navy Department, through its Pub.
licity Bureau, has made Jack a
gatherer and a chronicler of news that
goes back to the boys in the old town
like letter to an old pal.
Every ship of the Navy carries
blanks that are all ready to be filled up
with the little items of interest that
are so much of an event in the life OF
a Navy man and to those in the town
back behind the hills. He may have
eXcelled in some particular study o.
work of the ship and been commended:
he may have made a fine showing al
target practice and he may, as
firing pointer, have won the coveted
Navy e" which means whole lot to
the man behind the gun. When this
does happen a blank with his name.
his next of kin and his home town is
filled out with an accompanying mem
orandum, something like this:
This man was the firing pointer on
No. 4, 3-inch gun of this ship, which
made the highest score this year in the
Navy; four shots; tour hits in 1912
4 seconds. This man was awarded the
first prize and, will be awardh the
Navy e" which is a decoration given
only TO gun pointers making a score
Of rs hits per gun per minute. His
score was 1885"

I by the memorandum gets to the Nav
Publicity Bureau in New York City
and from there ii is sent out in a news
paper style to all the papers in his
home town and vicinity. and when he
comes home he finds out that public
ity has suddenly thrown him right into
the middle of fame
The Publicity Bureau has another
idea in mind while getting the news
from these first line of defense men
into print The more that is printed
of the boys and of what they are do
ing, and of their triumphs in peace
or their loyalty and service in war, the
more Young America is attracted to
the life of a sailor and the more
quickly is he made TO realize his duty
in responding to his country's call
The Publicity Bureau of the Navy
not only disseminates news of the ser
vice. but it operates one of the larges:
and best equipped printing Offices in
New York, where all of its posters
and literature are printed.
