Want a New Hate Try This.

Here's scheme for getting a new
hat. The success of the idea can be
vouched for by a couple of members
of the 154th Depot Brigade, because
they tried it on two rockies" The
"old men" were looking over the new
corners just before inspection.
First Old Man-You rockies look
pretty good. but you look too new.
Your clothes look too clean. You don't
look like q regular soldier
Second Old Man-That'S right Look
at your hats. They make you look
like an imitation soldier.
First New Aan-What would you do
about it? We don't want to look like
we just arrived.
First Old Maxwell, Til tell you
what I'd do. I'd get rid of the hats
the first thing. Well trade you hats.
And the old boys secured two brand
new skypieces. swapping couple of
bent and faded ones for two that had
just been issued.

Base Things at s'Base. y

Private Becker of the Quartermas-
ter detachment, United States Army
base hospital. has been anxious to get
into the real fighting forces for some
time. FIis friends did not think that
he was in earnest and tried to per-
suade him to stay right where fate
had put him. Things began to move
the other day when he asked per-
mission to see the company--com-
mander, and the following CONVEX
sation took place, as Becker saunter-
ed into the Office in his usual Don't
give-a-d amn-way. Want five-day
pass" What for, Becker% Want
to get married"
Evidently Becker received encour-
aging words, for he went down into
camp and bought new suit and sent
several kilograms.
If a civilian should happen to pass
by the quartermaster warehouse at
the base hospital he might wonder
why service flag hangs in the win
dow. Ask any one of the quarter
master detachment and he will tell
you with pride that Private Arthur
Lamoureux has been transferred to
the 312th Field Artillery. Lamoureux
has been teaching the mules how to
do right face and parade rest, but
because some of the mules would not
exercise by the counts, he has quit
the job.

Would Give Japan Free Hand.

London, March 2-Japan's propos-
ais with regard to Siberia and their
reception in Washington have brought
patton in military operations to the
fore thought here
The developments dominate the
news columns of the papers.
Reuter- cablegram quoting a des-
patch from Washington is given great
prominence in type and position by
the newspapers. and is commented on
extensively. Some papers display con-
tributed articles setting forth the
japanese view of the situation.
The bulk of opinion favors Japan's
proposed action without qualification.
The plea is made in some quarters
she ought implicitly to be trusted and
given a free hand.
The Times says while the attitude
Of President Wilson and the American
state department does not seem to be
officially defined as yet, lit is clear
from the important press statement
it would be mistake to regard Presi-
dent Wilson's attitude as decidedly
aFerse to Japanese Intervention.
"Whatever view the American gov
eminent may finally adopt, it IS GER
tain to be received with the utmost
Difference by the allies. No boubt Is
felt in well-informed quarters the po-
sition of the United States will be de-
termined by the logic Of the situation
and the single-hearted desire which
President Wilson always has shown to
further the best interests of the allies
The question is virtually one of ways
and means and of deciding as rapidly
as possible upon a policy best calcu-
lated to secure the end in view.

MchdOO Gals On Nation to
BuJ War Bonds.
VAST SUM is NEEDED
Beginning of Drive Marks Anniver-
sary of Americas Entrance Into the
Conflict.

Washington, March 2.-McAdoo has
named April 6, 1918, as the date fGr
the opening of the third Liberty loan
campaign.
at was the first anniversary Of our
entrance into the war against the
kaiser" Secretary McAdoo said. The
amount, terms and conditions of the
loan have not been decided, be-
cause these features are dependent
upon further legislation" In making
the announcement, Secretary McAdod
continued:
Il expect to ask congress at al
early date to grant the necessary az
ditiCnal authority OF course, the
opening date of the campaign IS some
what dependent upon the new legisla-
ton, but il is hoped and believed that
the matter can be considered and de-
termined in ample time to begin the
campaign on the dates suggested.
April will forever be consecrat-
ed day in American history, and 1t
seems peculiarly appropriate that the
opening of the second year of our par
ticipation in this war for the honor
and rights of America and the free
dom Of the world should be celebrated
with nationwide drive for another
Liberty loan" he continued. THE
campaign should begin with great
demonstrations of patriotism in every
city, town and hamlet in the country;
that will truly express the spirit Of
the aroused America.
"On this date every American
should pledge anew TO his government
the full measure of his resources and
resolve to make every required sacri-
fee in the same fervent spirit that
impels our gallant sons in the trench
es of France and on the waters of the
Atlantic to shed their blood in Amer
ira's sacred cause.
The campaign, in all probability,
will last three or four weeks, and an
nCuncement of the opening date is
made at this time in accordance with
my promise to make public all mat
ters connected with the loan as soon
as determined and in order that am
pie time may be given every cOmmuni-
~ to prepare for the event"
