With the American Expeditionary
Army in France, July 7.-(Passed by
Censor AT the end of the first week
of the American expeditionary army
in France, one fact stands out above
all others.
America must send men-a million
men.
Indications are that our troops will
be on the front sooner than was cal
culated. They are needed to stimu-
late the Allied offensive.
Food Conditions Better.
Food conditions in France are, if
anything, better than they had been
reported to be. There is a sufficiency
of food supplies, though to say that
there is plenty would be exaggerating
I'VE have done our duty to our
home country, to the world-to de-
mocracy," the French say. Let
America now serve"
The American troops have caught
the spirit that comes from a true
understanding of the situation.
Determined to Triumph.
No hatred is shown by our troops to
the German war prisoners, only pity.
But the woes of France are invoking
deep-rooted ire against the Kaiser
Our men seem to grasp what they are
fighting for, and are resolved to tri-
umph.
Our casualties will be heavy. The
country must be prepared for terrible
losses.
The administration details are be-
ing conducted admirably. Many here
predict that the Americans, with their
characteristic spirit of initiative, will
surpass even the Canadians in success

this effect has been made by Secre

Secretary Baker said the number to
be drawn had not yet been determ.
ined, although at least estimates it
would be more than $4,000. The ex-
ira men will be used to fill vacancies

The exact number to be drafted
will be determined when the recruit
ing reports of the regular army and
National guard, now being received,
are compiled.

Arrangements for the next step to-
ward mobilization of the new national
army-to exercise of the selection for
draft-were taken up at a conference

followed will be issued at once.

sources of these necessary materials
will presently be utilized. Although
the soy bean is not considered source
for oil iii this part of the country, II
Virginia and North Carolina, the
threshed crop is sold mainly 10 the
cotton oil mills. where the oil Is ex
pressed and the residue, or cake
ground into meal. Indeed soy bear
seed is actually second only to cotton
seed as a source of vegetable oils. l.
now seems certain that the demanC
for soy bean oil will soon become
greater than can be supplied by tn,
Eastern crop and that the Missouri
crop will be drawn on to meet tn,
need.
During the war, when foodstuffs oi
all kinds will continually diminish
many unusual kinds of human foot
will be brought into use. The SOY
bean is one of the crops which will
be utilized. Already several manufac
turers in the East have successfully
substituted soy beans for navy beans
in baked pork and beans. Indeed the
demand in the East for soy beans foi
packing and for planting has been sc
great since last fall that the cottor
oil mills have practically censec
crushing the seed and are turning
them to the planters and packers. One
mill which last fall bought 1000C
bushels of seed and planned to crust
ut least 100000 bushels did not crust
any seed but disposed of the whole
stock for food and planting. Only the
yellow-seeded varieties are used foi
food.
With the wartime demand on tho
soy bean crop for an animal concen
trate, for human food, and for oil IN
addition to the normal demand foi
forage and seed for planting, there is
no doubt that high prices will be main
tanned. Soy beans are now selling at
$3.50 TO $500 bushel--at double the
usual price--and farmers should not
fail to plant the largest possible acre
age. It will be profitable and patrl
otic enterprise.
