Just study that may minute
Of the 4S states. more than half
touch no salt water To be sure, many
tresh-Water states have shipyards and
sailors. But who would think of look
ing for deep-sea tars in Iowa or New
Mexico? Yet. from every state in the
union Uncle Sam expects to draw his
builders of deep-sea ships. And there
is very definite purpose in his plan
The war is a national matter, and
deep-sea ships are vital part of the
war, and in every draft upon his re-
sources in men and money Uncle Sam
looks to each state to do its share ac-
cording to population.
That is one reason
Again, war activities must be organ
lied with the least disturbance to
farming, manufacturing, transporta-
ton, and other industrial war prodac-
ton. An even draft on each state, &C
cording to population, is the business
like way of mastering these shipyard
workers with the least dislocation of
other industries.
So that is a second reason, but there
is still another.
Uncle Sam is drawing his shipyard
workers from the fresh-water states,
tie regions of corn, cotton, wheat, and
sagebrush, because he wants repre-
sentative worken from all America
Out of the total quota of $4,000,
the 26 fresh-water states will furnish
169,379, or fully A per cent. Their
blacksmiths and carpenters, machin-
lists and clerks, coppersmiths and cleo
tricians, are being mustered for ship
yard service on the coast because such
a draft of American mechanics from
all the inland states, according to the
plan of the quota, will make our new
acknowledgement industry truly ma
tional in spirit and give it the benefit
of the widest possible range of Ameri-
can mechanical ingenuity. They must
come with skill at some allied trade,
possessing a handicraft which will
make it possible to quickly teach them
one of the two hundred odd trades
needed in the building and fitting of a
mercantile ship.
That is indispensable.
But it is not all, by any means.
Even more indispensable is the
alertness, resourcefulness, and spirit of
the native American.
One of the greatest aids in winning
the war, counted upon from America
by the allies ever since last April, is
American inventive genius-the Yam

WITH THEIR BACKS TO THE
WALL

said Field Marshal Haig in the spec
! ial order of the day addressed to
the British army in France and Elan
ders, every position must be held
to the last man. There must be no
retirement"
This is a paraphrase of Joffre's
famous message to the French troops
on the eve of the Battle of the
Marine: 1.-The hour has come to ad-
vance at all costs and die where you
stand rather than give way"
It is no new experience for either sr
BrtSh or r thsn rs tho to wa IH
against the German advance. That
is the way the British expeditionary
force fought in August, 1914, from
Mons to the Marine, and while beat
en- back every day its lines We're
never broken. That is the way the
French fought throughout those de-
pressing weeks that preceded the
way they fought at Verdun when the
issue again trembled in the balance.
Today it is not merely the Brit
ish army in France and Flanders
that is fighting with it's back to the
wall. Civilization is fighting with
its back to the wall-France, Great
Britain, Italy, the United States, all
the free nations.
The crisis following the great Ger
man offensive is acute, but it only
emphasizes a situation that existed
before this drive was undertaken
and which will continue to exist I'M
til the might of German military
power is broken and crushed. We
have not grasped the meaning of
this struggle until we realize that
all the self-governing peoples until
the very end of the war are fighting
with their backs to the wall.-New

sAPplNG HER STRENGTH.

The inherent resisting power of
Germany has been underestlmated
by her enemies from the very first,
for in the first or even the second
year of the war few could be found
who would agree that at the end OF
three years it would be found that
Germany was even slightly lmproy-
ing her food and material position IN
stead of dying or starvation as was
freely predicted.
Each passing year, however, sees
tht German economic position more
deeply and permanently undermined.
There is always net loss with the
passing of each quarter. Under
these conditions it can be but mat
ter of time until bankruptcy in men.
money and materials puts an end to
the power to. resist the growing
strength of the Allied forces.
No greater blow could have been
struck against the economic war sys-
tenn of the enemy than the blockade
now enforced by America against the
northern neutrals. In the freedom
of trade between neutral ports is to
be found the secret of much OF Ger
many's resisting power during the
last three years.

THE FIRST WHEAT SEIZURE.

The first seizure of wheat by the
government is announced. Two
Germans in New Mexico held a large
amount. They had refused to sell
az the ruling price. which was fixed
by the government, and had given
no satisfactory explanation of their
action, although they had been urg-
ed to release it in order that the
United States may maintain its pro-
gram Of exportation; These two two
merchants, have held $50 900
pounds of wheat for long time and
the food administration took. the
position that in withholding OF this
wheat from the trade Kempenich,
Bros. were guilty of giving aid and
comfort to the enemy. On this
ground it has authorized the New
Mexican administrator to seize. the
entire supply and place it in circu-
lation. These men will receive the
price for this wheat less
the cost of seizure and marketing.
One can easily imagine what would
happen to two Americans in Ger
many who were guilty of the same
act.>
