BACK YARD WAR GARDENS
ARE REALLY NECESSARY
United States Food Administration
Says Food Production Must
be Increased

The u. S. food administration has
served notice on the people of Wash
inpton thru State Food Administrator
Hebberd that unless they plant war
garden they are not doing all that
they can do to help conserve the food
supply of the country. From now un-
til fall, according to the food admins
tration, the people of the United States
must do everything in their power to
keep up the home food supply in order
that nothing will prevent the shipping
of ample wheat and other food pro-
ducts to the Allies. 1t is the most
critical time, the government states, in
the history of the nations engaged in
war with Germany. IF sufficient food
can be shipped to Europe, the war is
won; if the necessary shipments can
not be made the Allies will find them
selves SO short of supplies that the
fight against the Germans will be Sc
riously handicapped. The more gar
dens are planted the easier it will be
for the American people to give up the
wheat and other commodities needed
by France and England. So plant a
war garden and thus help to swipe
the Kaiser.

Opening Gun in Complete Turnover OF

Solf, imperial colonial secretary, Is

The colonial minister rose to sudden
prominence. not only in Germany, but
abroad, by his recent remarkably frank
speech, replete with the most concilia-
tory utterances yet heard from the lips
of responsible German statesman.
His flat statement that Belgium would
emerge from the war an independent
nation, "vassal to no one" was slap
in Hertling's face. for only short
time ago the retiring chancellor told
the world Belgium would be held by
Germany as a pawn,

"The Fool Hath Said"

This is a message from one who
knows-Coningsby Dawson--to those
who do not realize. 1t is a message
direct from the trenches in France by
a soldier and writer to US behind the
lines. He says:
Life has swung back to a primitive
decision since the war commenced.
The decision Is the same for both
men and nations They can choose the
world or achieve their own souls.
They can cast mercenary lots for the
raiment of a crucified righteousness or
take up their martyrdom as disciples.
Those men and nations who have been
disciples together can scarcely fail to
remain friends when the tragedy Is
ended. What the fool says in his
heart at this present moment is not
of any lasting Importance. Red

weights forwarded to the conservation

In this way, the army has an absolute

monopoly and the business passed into
private hands. The extortions Of the
pawnbrokers in time led, however, to
a demand for the re-establishment of
the governmental Institutions. In 1906
Napoleon re-established the monopoly,
regulating 1t by laws that are still In
force. The interest charged amounts
to about Z per cent.
In Paris the mont-de-plete Is in effect

PRESIDENT SIGNS
NEW DRAFT BILL
NAMES SEPTEMBER IL AS DATE
FOR MEN BETWEEN 10 AND
As TO REGISTER.
Estimated That at Least 1878, 785
Men viii Be Enrolled, of Whom
100000 Will Be Called for
Military Service.

Washington.-All men from Is to As
years old in the continental United
States, except those in the army or
navy or already registered, were sum-
planed by President Wilson on August
81 to register for military service on
Thursday, September II.
Machinery of the provost-marshal-
generals office was set in motion to
carry out the second great enrolment

sued soon after the president had
signed the new man-pOwer act extend
ing the draft ages. The bill, completed
in congress Friday, had been sent to
the White House for the presidents
signature Saturday soon after the
house and senate convened.
1t is estimated that at least 12,77S,-
1853 men will enroll, compared with
nearly ten million at the first regiStra-
ton June 5, 1917. OF those it Is esti-
mated that 100000 wifi be called for
general military service, probably two
thirds of the number coming from the
100000 or more between the ages Of
Is and 81.

General March has said all regis
France before next June 30, swelling
the American expeditionary force to
more than the four million men ex-
pected to win the war in 1919 The
last to be called will be the youths in
their eighteenth year, but those of that
ago who desire and who have the nee
essary qualifications may be indicted
into service on October 1, for special
technical or vocational training.
Registration will be conducted by the
loca draft obards. All federal, state
county and municipal officers are
called upon to aid the boards in their
work, to preserve order and to round
up slackers. All registrants will be
classified as quickly as possible under
the QUESTIONABLE system, and a draw
ing will be held at the capitol to fix
the order of registrants in their re-
Spective classes.
The provost-marShal-ge eSti-
mate places the number of men under
p now in the army at about 245,000
and the number of those from 30 to 40
at 10000.
Work or Fight Not Abandoned.
Although the work or fight clause,
which would have affected striking
workmen, was taken out of the bill be-
fore passage, Provost Marshal General
Crowder has planned to apply vigor-
ously existing regulations relating to
idle men or those engaged in non-essen-
tial employment to the newly regis
tered men.
