in lieu Of three Of the days allotted

of the jailer the man was detained in

set free he demanded redress for his
wrongs.
"You ought to have some allowance

Washington. Articles of wearing
apparel to the number of 1,450,370
were repaired during July In the shops
of various camps and environments Of
the United States army. In this total
were 314,518 pairs of shoes, 48,S02
hats, 65,S41 overcoats, 97,506 coats,
259,976 pairs of breeches, 84,212 fan

Besides being the biggest tailor and
cobbler, the quartermaster general Is
probably also the operator of the
greatest laundry on earth. During
July there were handled in the laun-
dries attached to the various camps
and environments 9,762,170 pieces, in
Guiding 2,030.947 garments for officers
and enlisted men. The total revenue
from these laundries was 1921, 1912.
One hundred of the 200 stations to
be established for the assembling of
fruit pits and nut shells which are to
be converted into charcoal for gas
masks have been designated by the
Red Cross, which is in charge of the
collections throughout the. country.
Encouraging reports of collections
already have been received in Wash
ington. Girl scouts headquarters an
nounces that at one collection point
two little girls from one troop which
had been in the work for short time
brought in 1000 pits, while another
pair contributed 1000 each.
Wholesale grocers in large cities
have sent in copies of posters they
have had printed and circulated among
retailers. Each of the latter has been
requested to place a receptacle in his
store for the pits and shells and to CO.
operate with their local Red Cross rep

The United States sugar equaliza-
ton board has contracted with the Gu

purchase the Cuban sugar crop at a
price basis of $3.50 per 100 pounds, (.

made on behalf of the American, Eng
lish, French and Italian governments.
The crop will begin to be available
in December, and its division among
the allies will be directed by the Unit
ed States food administration. These
arrangements will this year, as last,
put an end to all speculation in sugar
and assure an equitable distribution
among all the allies and to our own
consumers.

Under this title Daniel A. Polling
tells in the Outlook of his investiga-
lions at the front and his conclusions.
We quote:
II believe that I not only know
what the American soldier does In
france, but that i begin to know
what he Is.
"He Is a representative American.
And he Is living on q moral plane
which Is above the moral plane of
civilian life at home. Our leaders
In France have not conquered the
vices society has battled against from
the first organized beginnings of civili-
cation; but If the American expedi-
tionary force is not setting an exam
pie in moral idealism to American
civilian life, then / have walked
through France with my eyes closed
and my ears stopped.
"When you see one soldier under
the influence of liquor, do not con-
clude that the army is drunk. 1t is
at least suggestive that in three
months spent in England and France,
associated with tens of thousands of
soldiers, I did not see single SOL
der, officer or private, under the in
fuence Of liquor in the streets.

II found the American in uniform
building up about himself a wall Of
protection in the very attitude he is
assuming toward the moral excesses
practiced by the few. He is resent
ing the indulgence that causes his
country's civilization to be misjudged;
he is discipling his comrade who by
taking improper and forbidden liber-
ties endangers the freedom of others !;
he shows a distinct pride in the fact
that American physical and moral
standards are high. / believe that for
every man in the army that Is moral
ly destroyed, at least five men are
morally born again. We have spent
much time in discussing the vast task
of keeping our men fit to return to
us when the war is over, and it is
time well spent. But there is another
matter quite as important-America
must be made and kept fit for these
men to return to.
"The American soldier has no rum

control of American authorities liquor
