Progress in War Program.

Thousands of our boys now in avia-
ton training camps in this country
need airplanes. and it is up to US to
get them so that this important phase
of our war may be put under way as
soon as possible. In view of our IN
readiness to fight. we have made vast
progress, greater than was thought
possible, but millions of our soldiers
are now ready to go to France. and it
is up to US to get them there.
Those of our boys who are there are
nobly upholding the traditions of the
nation. Secretary Baker is now over
there-he is seeing the horrors of the
war with his own eyes, and is over
whelmed with the colossal magnitude
of the task Some disquietude has been
felt here because of the alleged paci-
fistic tendencies of Mr.. Baker. If this is
true, he will return as other pacifists
have, overlooking with the fighting
spirit, and will inject still greater
vigor into the activities under his
supervision"

ARE URGED TO GET BEHIND
LOCAL SUFFRAGE ISSUE
Representative Farr Says Residents
of District Should Have a Real
Part in Government.

Residents of Washington were urged
to get squarely behind the local suf-
frage issue by Representative John R.
Farr of Pennsylvania, in an address
last night at the Methodist Church in
Tenleytown- The speaker also urged
the cooperation of every man and
woman in the United States in carry
ing the war issues here into the minds
of the people. I'm Washington we are
living in a political no mans land,
said Representative FAIR; every
Washington man and woman should
have the vote. and participation in
legislation as far as the government
is concerned. Representation in Con-
gress SO that Washingtonians may be
a real part of the government is need
ed"
Speaking of the war program. Rep
resentative Farr said, Congress has
measured up to every demand made
upon it by the executive head of the
government. In everything asked by
the President-shps. men, artillery and
rnunitions-Congress has stood squarely
behind the commander of our fighting
forces.
