VISITOR AT ARMY
 CAMP IN THE NORTH
 TELLS 0F WORKINGS

A recent visitor from this district to the American Lake camp gives the following narrative:
 Tn this camp, the first objective of every one who visits is the Y. M. c. A. or the Knights of Columbus headquar- ters, principally the '. M. c. A, as their organization all over the country is unusually efficient. At the "Y'' headquarters you can locate any one of the 40.O00 men in the camp. Prac- tically all of the recreation of the camp is in the hands of the |. M. C. A.
 At American Lake there are six buildings, 96x40, with pianos. victro- las. writing tables. etc. and here a man may come for advice and psr- sonal consultation. Talking with one of the secretaries. l was impressed with the real importance of this last and the number of personal coasulta- tions.

Give us more freight cars! Give us faster freight trains.
 This cry is going up from east to west and from north to south. The railroads are doing all in their power to appease this demand Schedules. are revised; passenger trains taken off; excursion trains eliminated; fast freights given right-of-way Still there remains congestion and demand for freight ears. The railways say, Shippers, fill your cars to capacity.
 To give clear idea of the situation a traffic chief of the Canadian Pa cifc-one of the men who is doing much to solve this problem, not only for Canada and his own road, but for the United States as well, answered the following questions:

Still waste of more than 44qo. in eight years the railroads had increased the capacity of the cars almost SC, but the ship pers used only 3fc of the space pro vided. letting 4SGo of the increased space 20 to waste. If shippers would make it a rule not to send out a car loaded to less than maximum capacity. we could haul almost half again as much freight per train as we now do.'
 Then by loading cars to capacity, this clamor for more cars could be silenced?
 Not altogether Cars must be released quickly. Railroads would rather have their cars earn money hauling freight than getting demur- rage for standing idle and blocking tracks. If shippers will load to capacity; load and unload quickly; there will be no car shortage"

'DIGITALIS AND FOXCLOVE CROW
 IN NORTHWEST
Herbs Needed for Medicine Can Be Grown in Washing ton and Oregon With Some Culture and Effort.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 3. = Ina fact that digitalis, or foxgloye, grows wild in the states of Oregon and Wash ing needing only harvesting and eel lecting to be in great assistance in war medical work, is deemed of high importance by the national defense council. The possibility that the boy scouts might be utilized in this in- portant work adds to the importance of this organization and the useful ness of which it has shown tself ca pablo.
 The national council of defense has t. ken up the matter of informing citi- zens as to the importance of digitals and it's harvesting in the following 3 stat9nent:
 Heretofore digitalis. or foxglove, hes been imported chiefly from central Eu- rope. Inasmuch as digitalis consti- tutes the most important heart drug the curtailment of importations occa- stoned by the war gives rise 10 q threatened shortage which would be tremendous calamity inasmuch cs cardio-vascular diseases is the most prevalent that flesh is heir to-"
 Recent work has revealed the fac' that American or home grown digitalis is as potent and valuable medicinally as any which we have heretofore irl ported. Although digitalis is not cul- 'ivated in this country for commercial purposes, it has escaped from gardens and is found growing luxuriantly throughout Oregon and Washington It is impossible to estimate to ju { what extent digitalis is growing in these two states, but certain rough estimates would seem to indicate tha' there is sufficient to supply the entire need of this country. This being the case, obviously such digitalis should be collected and placed at the disposal of the government.
 That the need is a great one is e i denced by the fact that national rc- search council has requested several of the northern universities, notably Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, to cultivate as much digitalis as possible. The universities, through their depar,- ments of pharmacy. are responding 10 the best of their ability, but due TO the request coming late in the season and secondly to me dearth of seed lings, ii is unlikely that the emergency can be met in this way. The national research council is therefore calling the attention of t;:e people of Oregon and Washington to this opportunity o. ccntritu ing gra.uitOus service in the conservation of wild growing digitalis in those states.
 The plant yielding the drug digitalls is known botanically as digitalis pur pure, and is commonly known as fox- glove It is biennal plant, producing a large rosette of basal leaves durin 2 the first years growth. The flower stalk and fruit are produced the sec ond year In Oregon and Washington. where the plant has escaped from rul- tivation. it is found growing rather

the government in the conservatio of the native supply should take spec mems to local physicians or pharm- cists for Identification before procee ing with collection.
 The leaves are used for the prepar. tion of the drug digitalis and the. may be collected from either the fir or second years growth. Only full mature. green leaves should be Gel lected. Leaves which have begun turn yellow should be discarded. Al adhering sand or foreign matte should be carefully removed by brus ing with a small hand scrub brush. ri proper drying requires considerab skill and experience. The leave should be spread out so that they al not more than one layer deep and tl. drying conducted in the shade or my even where the temperature do, not exceed so degrees centigrada Difficulty will be met in attemptir to dry the leaves without artificia heat during humid weather. as they readily take up moisture from the a.. mosphere. The drying process should be continued until the petals or leai stalk break easily with a short frac- ture.
 The leaves will lose from D to S0 per cent of their weight upon drying. When quantities of not less than five pounds of dried leaves have been col lected they should be carefully packed in clean paper or cloth sacks or bet ter still in air tight tin cans. In case paper or cloth bags are used these should be place in strong wooden box es for shipment
 All packages should be plainly marked with the name of the sender ar collector and forwarded by express to either Dean Charles W. Johnson, Of Washington. Seattle. Wash. or to Dean Adolph Ziefle.

A Statement Of Gen. Pershing.
No Active Participation Of his Army in the Cam
paign against Germany before Next Year.

Because most Of the English
newspapers for reasons Of their
own, saw fit TO withhold from
their readers a highly important
statement OF Major General
Pershing, the commander Of our
army in France, we deem it
our duty to herewith reprint
the original Associated Press
dispatch which conveyed to the
American public the information
that a full participation of our
expeditionary forces in the cam.
paign against Germany must
not be expected before next
year:
Paris, Sept. 2.-Major Gen.
Pershing who has remained in
Paris clearing up the work at
his old headquarters, declared
today in connection with the
plans for the coming winter that
the American people must learn
the meaning and value of pa
tience, and not expect that the
expeditionary forces landed in
France can be rushed immediate
ly to the front line trenches.
To put an inadequate, insult
fciently supplied force into act
ual combat, he said, would mere
ly be making a mistake, which
the Germans unquestionably
have hoped and expected the
United States would make. 1t
is the determination, rather,
that when America does take
her place in the line shoulder to
shoulder with the other allies
next year, she will be fully pre-
pared to 60 through the summer
campaign and make the Ger
mans feel the full weight Of her
military power.
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, ARE anx-
ious that the people at home

u. S. Railroad Ownership.
The War Offers an Opportunity Which May
Never Come Again.

were fully entitled to the enor1
nous profits of this enterprise,
but the government never could
have allowed them. The urgent
demand for cheaper transports
alton and freight rates made byt
the ever increasing population
of the country later on cut morel
and more into the profits, andI
high interest rates Of the loans
and the ever increasing demands
of the employees continuously
raised the expenses OF the rail-
roads. Under the presidency of
Roosevelt, this clash Of interests
came TO a focus and it assumed
such proportions, that it caused
a nearly complete suspension of
the construction Of new hnesl
notwithstanding the absolute
necessity of the extension of ourI
railroad systems.
This was the first step toward
government ownership. And theI
government proceeded to deter-E
mine the price to be paid theI
owners for their systems, thel
acquisition Of which it has del
|cided upon long ago. But theI
problem or carrying out this
policy in the face Of the peculiar
laws of forty-eight states, forI
the regulation Of the railroads.
is a difficult task, which hasI
caused many a headache to thel
learned opponents Of this planI
before the war started.
And now the war offers AM
opportunity which may never
come again, to do in one stroke
what perhaps we would not
have achieved in decades. To
let it pass without pro6ting byl
it would be a mistake for which
there would be no excuse. Most
of the railroads have been
financed by loans, which can
easily be converted into long,
term national loans. The set
Element with the stockholders
is a more difficult problem, but
probably on this question a
way will be found also to pay
them off at reasonable rates,
and to leave them at least part
of their previous dividends, un-
til they receive the last insta.-
ment Of the purchase price.
We are fully convinced that
every American having the well
fare of this country at heart,
including all the intelligent rail-
road magnates and hnanciers
of this country would gladly
welcome the first step toward
this commendable goal.
