DISCIPLINE

General Pershing gave correspondent vau-
able message for the American people the other
day. 1t was intended to reach the million Ameri-
cans now in arms and the million or two more that
will follow them.
Men must realize the necessity of standing at
attention and saluting their officers said the
general, thinking perhaps of the confusion and
for little while after the revolution broke, the
privates refused to salute. THAT is little thing
perhaps, but major factor in establishing great
army machine.
mot that we want automatons or anything
like automatic soldiers-our school of warfare diff
fers from enemies by realizing that every pri-
vate is potential officer, and in order to make
good commander soldier must have initiative and
think for himself. But cultivating initiative
doesn't mean lodging discipline.

can give orders quickly-and must have studied

WHAT FRAZIER CAN DO

The editor of the Pioneer is in receipt Of let
ter from G. H. Belknapp, the well known banker Of
Mcintosh calling attention to the hardship that
farmers of Sioux county tributary to Mcintosh are
being subjected to on account of the operation of
the North Dakota seed and feed bonding law.
These farmers formed a Federal Loan association
and have loans pending which are being withheld
until the feed and seed bond law is repealed or de-
clared unconstitutional. He further says that the
farmers in that locality need no seed grain aid
and this is evident from the fact that but one or
two applications from that section were made If
Governor Frazier wants to do something for the
farmers of North Dakota, he should call another
special session of the legislature and have this law
repealed The reason that no more Federal Farm
loans will be made in the state is that under the
seed and feed bonding law the lien for seed be-
comes q prior incumbrance on the land, and the
government wants and must have the first mort.

THE UNIFORM AND THE JOB

A shock was produced in the military affairs
committee of the house of representatives the
other dav when it was stated by high official of
the war department that there are in Washington
more than 10000 men in uniform of whom 10000
never have seen days service in camp. Fol-
lowing this statement there have been severe criti
cisms of so-called "slickers" who are the slack
ers" of officer grade. Hundreds of young men, it
has been stated, are in Washington in uniform to
escape the draft and shirk camp training and the
trenches.
While scne Of this criticism may be deserved
there are two sides to this story. It is true that
there s.Ge thousands Ct roo+ il uniform in Wash
ing Il "l!J are escaping tbs draft and the camp
training. In many cases, however, it is fact that
these men are giving more valuable service to the
government than they could possibly give in camp
and are in these Washington positions not because
they themselves wish to be there but at the urgent
solicitation of the department heads where they
are working. There is tremendous amount of
extremely important work to be done in WASH
ington. and likewise a tremendous amount of un-
interesting drudgery which somebody must do.
There has been great difficulty in getting compe-
tent civilian employees in sufficient numbers. The
consequence has been that hundreds of men have
been what is called "inducted" into the service
This process may be illustrated thus.

ing on the job OF adjustment of requirements to
contract performance. He has specialized along
these lines and incidentally is good shorthand
and typewrting man. He is civilian employee,
but Of draft age. He is caught in the draft, or
is liable to be- His chief says he must have this
mans services. One way to keep him is to give
him commission as second lieutenant, first lieu
tenant, major, etc., in which case he will get
salary somewhat like the salary he has been get
ting as civilian employee. He can put on the uni
FORM but will continue to hold down the desk
where he has been employed
This man, of course, has not had days train
ing in camp and may not know the Manual of
Arms. He has not learned how to salute, but he
is q valuable man in the war work in Washington
and in many cases he is working, not only from
nine until five, but evenings until midnight and
Sundays and holidays in addition He is not in
any sense a "slicker' or Stacker To remove
him from his present work and put him ,into the
training camp or the trenches would be to waste
good material. The case of this man is multiplied
in Washington many thousands of times.
On the other hand, there are many officers in

LONDON, March A National scheme has been approved here for collecting and using nearly everything now cast out as household waste. such as rags, waste paper, old metal, brok- en glass, old cans, and all sorte of kitchen refuse. Everything will be sorted and sent to centers> where it can be made to replace something that otherwise would have to be brought in ships.
 Many experiments have been made. Oil for engines has been extracted from bad fish and meat; food for poul- try and pigs from other kinds of re- fuse; potash from stalks of vegetables. Old tin cans from the city of Noting ham are now yielding 400 tons of iron 9 year, which is converted into a low class steel for army purposes.

IRELAND 'SFO0D PRODUCT|ONT0 T0
 BE INCREASED

DUBLIN, March 4-Food prOduc- tion in Ireland this year is expected to exceed all records, according to the announcement of Sir Thomas Russell of the Irish department of agriculture, who has made arrangements for the tilling in 1918 of 50O,00O acres of land in addition to that under cultivation last year. when 750,000 more than in 1916 were planted. The increase this year will be compulsory
 The government has guaranteed the farmers against loss. Sir Thomas re- ported that there had been no serious difficulty in forcing the increase ih planting last year and that only 1,06f farmers had refused to carry out the instructions of the government. Of these 500 had yielded, under pressure, and he stated that the farms of the remaining 264 would be operated by the department of agriculture.
 There has been a considerable short age of butter and it's export has now been prohibited by the government English buyers came over here and went into the country buying at a high CT price than the maximum and there was not enough left for the Irish mar ket
 Ireland has begun to develop a mar garine trade and factories have been set up in various places notably Cor6 and Waterford
 The general impression made on English visitors to the Dublin hotels, is that Ireland is better off for food than England and that the restric- tions have had much less effect.
