Officers and employees Of the Depart
ment of Justice were urged by Attor-
ney General Gregory. in a notice post
ed today in all offices, not to leave the
government service for private employ
ment, even at a higher salary, until the
war emergency is past.
Every efficient employe Of the gov
ernment who leaves it's service and
goes into that of private individual
weakens to that extent the power to
the government under existing condi-
tions." said the Attorney General. Il.
therefore. earnestly hope that mono Of
the employees of this department will
take advantage of any such offer until
the time has come when they can do
SO without striking a blow at the ef-
ficiency Of the country.
"At no time in our history have the
needs of our country for faithful and
loyal service been so great as now.
Most of US are by age or otherwise dis
qualified from making the supreme sac
rifice of going into the fighting lines.
but duty equally as grave rests upon
US of guarding the rear, of seeing that
all government functions to be done is
done to sustain and maintain the men
in our Army and Navy.

MUST STOP WASTING PAPER
Every Ton Of Paper Saved Means
Saving Fifteen Days of Mans
Labor.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS eats up
raw materials, including wood, coal,
chemicals and man power. 1t takes a
man eight or nine days to make a ton
of paper. 1t takes four tons of raw
material to make one ton of paper. 1t
takes a mans labor to cut the wood,
another mans labor to drive a log
down the river to the mill. Every ton
of paper saved means the saving of
fifteen days Of a mans labor.
You can save a ton Of paper.
There are 100000 men employed in
the pulp and paper industry. Think
of the men employed in the transpor-
tation, in the sulphur mines, chemical
plants, coal mines, laboratories and
other Industries contrlbutory to the
making Of paper.
This man power and this raw mate
rial should be saved for war industry.
The government needs the raw materi-
ais, needs the chemicals-to lick the
Hun.

per saved is nan power saved at the

HIS SWELLED HEAD L.EDUCED
Why Recruit at Camp Upton No Long.
er Brsgs Of His Prowess With
the padded Mitts."

A certain husky, raw-boned recruit
from an interior town reached Camp
Upton recently and brought forth TWO
sets of boxing gloves. He confded to
his comrades that he was q mighty fine
boxer. and black home" he had thrash
ed everybody who had tried conclus-
ions with him. This declaration nat
orally was an invitation, and all
promptly professed to know nothing of
the manly art and asked If he would
give them a little instruction.
Flattered. the youth stated his will
ingness to oblige, and the following
day was set for the lesson. The pupils
promptly hunted up Benny Leonard,
the lightweight champion, who was
and is the boxing instructor at Upton,
and arranged for him to meet the re-
cruit. The latter was informed that
he was to give the first lesson to a
very 'fresh" youngster, and he agreed
to put the unknown in his place. When
Leonard was brought before him he
wanted to back out, stating that he
couldn't think of boxing with a mar
so much smaller than himself.
Leonard, however, insisted that the
lesson go on, and each put OF his
gloves. During the 'lesson" Benny
never struck a blow, but contented
himself with feinting, ducking, lodging
and blocking until the volunteer teach
er was so exhausted with his own eff
forts that he could scarcely stand. He
stopped finally, congratulated the
champion on his showing, said that he
did very well "for an amateur" and
then made his way to the barracks TO
bed. When, later, he was informed of
the identity of his antagonist, he said
several things more or less compliment
tary to those who had put up the job
on him and sent the gloves to his
home.-Leslie's Weekly.

YANK GUNLAYERS MAD
Say the Infantry Ran Hun Star
gets" Too Far.
When Artillery Get Heavy Guns Into
Position There Is Nothing
to Shoot At.

With the American Army.-A GER
tain regiment Of heavy artillery is
broken-hearted over the way the
Boches "threw them down." as they
express it, In the Saint Mihiel salient.
This particular regiment was
brought up to assist In the long-range
bombardment Of the interior of the
salient, but owing to the rain and the
muddy condition Of the roads they
were late In reaching their ~emplace-
ments and setting up their guns.
They were due to begin firing In the
rear Of the enemy lines at eight O'Clock
in the morning, just at about the time
when they thought Fritz would be get
ting ready to drop back to his inter
mediary line after his resistance had
been broken In his wonderfully strong
battlefront. But Fritz never stopped
on his intermediary line at all and
even his machine gunners did not
tarry in their solid concrete and rail-
road iron blockhouses.
So at eight o'clock in the morning,
when the heavies should have opened
up on Fritz's support line they re-
ceived orders not to fire. When their
commanding officers protested vigor-
Ously and demanded the reason why,
they were advised that If they opened
up on the targets they had chosen
they would be firing in the rear of
American troops. SO the regiment
never fired a shot.
The g%unlayers took it as a personal
affrOnt on the part of the doughbOys,
who advanced so rapidly they didn't
give the heavies a chance to do any
business. They declare openly that
if the infantry had had any sporting
blood In its veins 1t won have
slowed up and given them a crack at
the Boches.

Variety In Uncle Sans Menu Makes

laxative.

With the American Army In France.
Chow time" mean n of the most
picturesque sights along the front, es-
pecially with the Americans. 1t seems
to mean more to the Americans than
to any other army, perhaps because
American grub" is better.
Happen along through a ruined vii
lage or a woods in an American sector
fifteen minutes before "chow time" and
you would think the place deserted.
Probably there wouldn't be more than
M or two stray doughboys in sight.
Come along fifteen minutes later and
you wonder "where in thunder they all
came FROM"
They'll be lined up, and in front of
each line there'Il be q field kitchen
steaming away, with a perspiring army
cook dishing out grub that makes you
want to grab some tools and get In
line" too.
There's lots Of animation at "chow
time" among the Americans. A crowd
Of Frenchmen Is quiet while eating,
the only time French soldiers are
quiet. They MUNICH their bread and
meat and vegetables and drink their
wine In silence.
Not so with the Americans. It's a
big time. First of all. there's specula-
ton on "what's the chow for today"
There's variety in Uncle Sans army
menus.
Then, as they sit around. on the
ground, OF ruins, or under trees, and
that satisfied feeling of having eaten
a good meal grows upon them, there's
lots Of life and joking among the
~doughboys.
"Doughboy chow" Is good. Usually
there Is soup. Then there are meat
and vegetables, usually two kinds.
There are always big slices Of white
bread and coffee. Nine times out of
ten there's dessert, probably pudding
or fruit.
Each man has a pan with a handle
that folds into 1t. and a cup. Some
way they get some of everything in a
f~our-course meal into these two instru-
ments and never mix foods. Only one
of these "war experts" could do that.

CITY NO LONGER PEST HOLE
British Authorities Have Worked
Wonders in Cleaning Up Ancient
Capital of the caliphs.

Paved streets, electric street lights,
municipal s~prinkling carts, a modern
fire department-these are all in old
Bagdad now, says Cleveland Plain
dealer. Or, rather, they are in new
Bagdad, for the slumberous city on the
Tigris has assumed a new aspect since
the British drove out the Turks six
teen months ago.
Nothing now remains Of the filth and
squalor of the Turkish regime. The
place Is still oriental, but the oriental
atmosphere is less odoriferous. Dead
cats are not left to deeompOse in the
middle of narrow streets. Great Brit
ain has a wonderful way Of leaving
orientalism unspoiled while making
it reasonably clean. The British sol
dier cannot abide filth. His sanitary
squads penetrate the remotest news
and the most deeply hidden cesspools,
and the news and the ~cesspools cease
to offend. The natives soon discover
that cleanliness Is not a horror.
The Arab is not naturally vile, but
he has fallen into the ways of his
Turkish masters. Bagdad Is as inter
esting as ever, and ever 81 much safer.
After the war many British tourists
will visit the ancient Abbaside capital,
where ruled the mighty caliphs, and
win note with interest the British
benefits bestowed on the city that VIII
helm und Colt once picked as the far
goalpost of Mitteleuropa.
