Protest Taxi Charges
Soldiers are arranging to protest

fifty cents fare from camp to the city

twelve miles, and claim the rate Ia

busses that operate to and from camp
that charge rs cents, but there are

Many of the soldiers draw less than
$40 salary each month for the reason

VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY.

The American people have achieved victory
for democracy. They have proved that they can
govern themselves. Through all sorts OF agen-
cies. the United States Food Administration has
endcavored to bring home to the nation the vital
necessity for sending wheat, meat, fats and
sugar to the forces abroad. What has been the
response?
Before the war we used to send across about
29,G0o0G0 pounds of pork products every month
In 1916 before we were really engaged in. hostil-
tiles, there was great demand, and so we sent
more We reached III 100000 pounds month.
Rut our herds Of hogs decreased in doing this,
for VIC were increasing consump-
ton to a great extent. That meant that there
had to be big change somewhere and so
ii the latter half Of 1917. even with all our con-
srvaticn, we reached only 74ooo.ooo pounds
l,onth.
Today with practically the same herd of hogs
II relation to the population that we had before
sie war, we are exporting about 285,0oo,o00
rounds every month, that is over three times as
inuch rs in peace times.
AS for beef, before the war we used to send
ever 100000 pounds month, while today we
are shipping 100000 pounds month";
Again, we have realized how very important
it is to give the Allies wheat.
The wheat crop of 1917 was larger than the
wheat crop of 1916, but it was over 150,000000
bushels less than the average production for the
years 1911 to 1915. If we had eaten much
wheat as we usually do, would have had only
twenty million bushels to send across.
By using substitutes and denying ourselves
the use of wheat, what have accomplished?
We have sent 12O,0O0,o0O bushels of wheat
abroad and by the first of September, we will
have increased this total amount to many mill
ions according to reports of the food administra-
ton.

in commercial organizations or not, will be asked
to cooperate. The regional system is intended
to supplement the work of the national war SER
vice committees of the industries, some OF which
are already effectively cooperating with the gov
eminent, while others are in process OF forma-
ton Many industries are not SO organized as to
permit representation by national war service
committee. BY the regional system it is pro-
posed to look after the requirements of these
scattered industries and provide means by
which greater impetus can be given to increasing
production in every section of the country. 1t is
believed that this will result in great measure in
preventing further dislocation of labor, new
housing problems, unnecessary expansion of
plants, and freight congestion. 1t will likewise,
it is thought, provide work for industries whose
normal output is being reduced without tieir
resources being employed in new directions.

SURVEY OF INDUSTRIES

An immediate survey of every part of the
United States is to be made in order to find out
which industries not doing war work may
be utilized for that purpose, also which industries
ready engaged on work for the government
are able to take on additional contracts or in
crease their production of munitions and war
supplies. To do this, the War Industries Board
has established Resources and Conversion Sec
tion, with Charles A. Otis, former president of
the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and men,
Der of the board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. as chief.
The country has been divided into 20 regional
groups, each of which will be organized through
its commercial associations. One organization
in each region has been selected to take the init
iative in bringing about definite organization.
The commercial body chosen to do this prelimi-
nary work will communicate with every other
business organization in its region and with the
industries not represented in such associations
and arrange for general meeting at which plans
of organization viii be perfected. When that is
DONE it is expected than one man will ne named
in each region to act as the direct represent
alive of Mr.. Otis in handling business between
the region and the Resources and Conversion
Section.

CHARGED GIVING
SOLDIER LIQUOR

Charles Davis. coiored, was arrested
at an early hour last might by Special
Officer Mcintyre and charged with
being a dangerous and suspicious
character. The specific allegation
against Davis is that he had furnished
beer to a man in the United States
army. Davis was held under heavy
bond, which he could not furnish, and
will be turned over to the federal au-
thorities.
Whiskey and beer has been fur
nished in considerable quantities to
men in uniform of late, 1t is said, and
the officers have been trying to get at
the bottom of this rather increasing
traffic. The energy of officers is
shown in the fact that is the second
arrest of this nature in the past week.

GOODS AND SERVICE

1t is generally recognized that war is fought
by goods and services. The normal annual pro-
duction of goods is used for individual consump-
tion maintenance of the capital fund.- and addi-
tions to the capital fund from savings of the
people 1t is evident that the Government can
utilize savings for war purposes provided enough
of our productive energy can be shifted to the
manufacture of essentials. If more of the annual
production is required for war uses it will be
necessary to reduce individual consumption and
perhaps to undermaintain capital fund which
can be done safely for only comparatively short
periods of time. 1t is not possible for govern
ment to spend more than these savings except by
artificially increasing prices, which leads to a
nominal increase in the power of the government
to spend and has some justification in the stim-
ulaton, artificial as it may be, of industry, par
ticularly during the period of adjustment to a
war basis. 1t is very doubtful whether finan-
cial policy for long avoid this and
whether it would be essentially necessary to
avoid it. In the case of our own expenditures
during the present fiscal year, it is probable that
they just about balanced by savings. It has
been estimated that for 1917 the savings avail
able for financing the war were approximately
1900, 100000. The demands in the future will
tate important decrease in individual con-
sumption in order that sufficient productive en-
ergy may be released for war uses.

Fate OF Spies In Europe
The usual idea OF spy is that OF a
bewhtskered individual who wears
many DISCUSSES and hides about in
dark corners listening to the con-
versation Of public officials and mill
tary men, but this Is not the type of
the German spy today, although a
number Of Germans disguised as
women have been found in French
villages where military operations
have been In progress. Naturally
, these spies are shot as soon as they
are discovered.
The spy shown IN the photograph
disguised as q woman acted as
chambermaid at the house where sew
eral French officers were biileted and
time and again descriptions Of mill
tarv operations were sent to Germany
and the French were at a loss as TO

was suspected as she was continually
making an excuse to stratghten up
