 Citizens. U. s. TO DO ITS PART Personal Sacrifices Will Be Demanded; Questions of Importance To
 Be Decided.
U. S. TO DO ITS PART
(By w. w. Jermane)

WASHINGTON, April '. - (By maiD-It would be well to keep in mind that all the glory and honor of the war in which the United States is now engaged will not SC to the armed forces. There are less spectacular, but equally important duties for those who remain at home, and they are being enumer ated in the national capital at the outset to the end that every citizen may see that he has his bit to do and that it is only by cooperative effort that success can be attained
 First. We must grow greatly in creased amounts of food this year, to feed ourselves and the people of France and England Carl Vrooman. assistant secretary of agriculture, is now making tour of the country to impress upon the people the need for concerted action along this line. There will be food shortages in both hemispheres this year, and only by planting maximum acreage and ex- ercising. the strictest economy in the lse of food ourselves (we are the most wasteful people of the world in this respect), can the United States rise to the opportunity that now is presented
 Must Build Ships
 Second. We must greatly increase our shipping facilities so as to be in position to carry abroad this food, md later to carry American soldiers across the seas, assuming that the war will last beyond this year. Steps In this direction are already being taken. An official of the federal government this week conferred with Seattle shipbuilders about the con struction of wooden vessels in large numbers at the earliest possible mo- ment. This construction, it is ex- pected. will overcome the effect of the submarine war.
 Third We must extend to France and Great Britain practically unlimited credits. Steps to that end are also being taken.
 Fourth. We must largely increase our output of arms and munitions both for our own sake and that of the Allies.
 Fifth. We must be prudent and careful and economical, making every pound of food and every dollar in money go as far as possible.
 In short, there must be mobiliza' tion of all our forces and resources, of which the army and navy are only Ia part. so that this army and navy may be fin position. to render the best possible account of itself
 Most of these things are not spec |tacular. nor are they heroic in accord

sadors meet in conferences with the representatives of the Allied govern ments. There are frequent confer ences between British, French Rus sian and Italian officials, because these countries are close together It may be thought proper to have tho United States equally near in tht person of this expert commission which would keep the administration in touch with all details from tho American viewpoint
 It is believed in official circles that Russia may ask us to supply an expert force to operate the Trans Siberian railroad. The successful operation of that great highway vii have much to do with the perman and also with Russian victory ovel Germany. Many of Russia's military supplies are shipped over that roat from Japan. which is doing as mucf in way of making munitions for that country as the United States fol England and France The road mus be reorganized, it is said, and tht present inefficient management re moved
 Russia may also ask us for a con siderable body of engineers to lay ou the immense new railroad lines tha' have been ordered for Russia ant Western Siberia. It is doubtful however. whether this request could be complied with owing to our scar city of supply,
 Will Affect Insurance
 Another interesting point came ou today in connection with army anC navy aviation. It is pointed out that the United States may be compelled to insure the lives of it's aviators It is said that private companies in numerous instances require per sons entering the aviation service of the government to surrender theil insurance policies, which fact is said to be interfering with aviation en listments. It is understood that such insurance is given by the govern ments of Great Britain and France
 The war is also likely to increase the cost of straight life insurance An extra premium of $l00 to $1,00C for those fighting abroad may be re quired and the amount of the policy limited It is also understood that the total disability clauses of new life policies will be nullified by the participation of the insured in wal and that it will be practically impos sible for one. to secure accident and health insurance that will cover in juries suffered in war or by any act of war.
 The negro question is coming ur with much bitterness the moment Congress tries to enact a law provid ing for universal military training and service. Southern Democrats are said to be unit in opposing the giving of arms to Southern ne groes. These Democrats want the negro exempted from any general call to arms that may be made

Here is shown part of the rOwd that gathered at the Cap tol as Congress met to hear President Wilson read his mes- age and ask Congress to declare hat a state of war existed be- ween the United Sattes and Germany. He further asked that t take immediate steps not only or more thorough national de- ence, but also "tO exert all it's bower and employ all its re- Ources to bring the government )f the German Empire to terms md end the war" The crowds were unusually large through |ut the day and displayed tre-

ance with popular notions of heroism They have little to do with the tra ditional pomp and ceremony of war but they are the things that count and nowhere else will they count l for so much as after our men are ir the trenches.
 What has been said explains the energetic plans the administration is making for proper coordination of American resources. If the wal is to end in victory for the right as the United States sees the right this coordination is absolutely nee essary. The government is therefore anxious that the people of the coun try understand at once that they, as a whole, and large groups of citizens in industry transportation, com merce, finance, etc, are to share with the army and the navy the glory, that the President believes is to come from our struggle against militarisn and autocracy.
 Children Must Help
 Even the children are to have a large share ill this work, if they will It has been estimated that the chil dren by gardening on vacant city lots, in back yards and in other suitable places, can add more than $240, 100000 to the value of the year s food supply. That addition, it is possible and almost probable would stand between the United States and a more or less serious food short age.
 The initial cost of the war (approp- riatiOns already asked for aggregate $3,400 100000. practically equals the en- tire cost of the Civil War And on ly a beginning has been made The administration is congratulating it. self and the country that the Unit ed States is now the richest nation in the world It not only has great CT resources than any other nation. but at present the greatest supply of gold. It will therefore enter the war under the best possible condi- tions.
 Now that the war is on, there is q good deal of discussion in this city concerning the technical differences between a declaration of war and a declaration that a state of war ex- ists, the latter being the form of the American announcement. It is his torically true that the United States never has declared war, but more important than that fact is this oth- CT feet that declaration of war would be inconsistent with the na- tional position as the administration sees it.
 Involves Responsibility
 A declaration of war. it is pointed out, involves moral and legal respon- sibility for the beginning of the war. A declaration of war exists (which is the language of the joint resolu- tion which went through Congress) is merely a declaration that recog 'nizes a condition already existing In most cases such declaration places the responsibility both moral and legal upon the opposite party.
 There is good deal of talk to day in official circles to the effect that an American war commission composed of military and naval off cers and expert civilians on ques tions of supply. transportation and finance, may be created to sit per manently in London or Paris, and together with the American ambas
