power to buy all supplies needed by

of disorder, cut red tape, stop delays
and furnish the American army with It's

"We would then locate and central

would be on up-to-date methods of great

France had to come to it.

Of important freight has been waiting

said.
Conflicting orders for bags for gas
masks, he asserted, had been issued in
the war department-on for one mills

for five million.
Fortunately one of the civilian com
mitteemen outside Of the department
discovered one of the conflicting orders
and secured a revision and stopped a
blunder, he said.
"The president and the secretary of
war have evidently realized defeat of
the existing system and have attempt
ed to change it, " said Hitchcock with
out explanation, but without success. !"
He then referred to the removal of
the heads of the ordnance and quarter
master generals departments and other
changes.
"And now since the introduction of
the bill creating director of muni-
tions, another step has been taken, he
said. 'The office of surveyor of pur-
chases is created with rather vague
authority and somewhat underlined du-
ties. He has no power in law, because
legislation is necessary.
''These great bureaus should be fo-
cused in some authority that would har-
monize with and coordinate them. That
is what is proposed in the bill for a
war cabinet of three men, he asserted.
He referred specifically to the board

prompt decision and energetic action, -
he said.
"Nine months after we entered the
war and three months after our men
were gathered in cantonments we found
in the dead of winter thousands of men
still kept in storage for some foolish
breeches, without wooden bIouses and
other serious shortages. We found most
of the machine gun companies unable
to drill two months after they were
formed because they had no machine
guns. Even in December we find 1900
still kept in storage for some foolish
and inexplicable reason, while each
camp had been supplied with only
eighty machine guns.
''We found hundreds of thousands of
men drilling with wooden sticks for
weeks and months because of delays
in ordering rifles last spring. We found
men sent to France without opportunity
for rifle or machine gun practice. We
found distressing amount of sickness
in most camps and an unnecessary NOR
tality due to lack of clothing and to
overcrowding. The overcrowding we
found due to a failure to provide an
adequate number of tents. We found
camp hospitals without drainage, plumb
ing or heat and sick men without nurses.
"We found that the first heavy ar
tillery of American make cannot be
received until July and not much be-
fore 1919 can we expect to use in France
American heavy artillery in any great
quantity.
g We found that we are only now,
nine months after entering the war just
beginning to work on two great powder
plants to cost $60,000,0O0, although it
was evident last summer that we must
have million pounds a day more pow
der than America can now manufac-
ture. We cannot get more powder from
these plants before next August.
We found that though the medical
epartmentlasl1ed for hospital ships last
July, they have not yet been ordered. "
Hitchcock said he did not deny that
much credltable work had been done
in the war department.
Turning to the remedy, Hitchcock de-
clared eff a high class man could be

New York, Feb. 4.-The northern
flank of the district persistently re.
ported to be the principal training
ground of the American army il
France, is being brought into the pos
sible area of combat by German activ-
ity about st. Mihiel.
The occasional French reeonnoiter-
ing raids along the st. Mihiel front
suggest enemy movements are suspect
ed to be in course of preparation at
that part of the line. If a German at
tack were to be delivered from st.
Mihiel, its purpose could only be to
threaten the American troops in train
ing some distance further south. st.
Mihiel is a secondary Verdun, about
twenty miles south of the great Meuse
fortress. 1t is the most important sup
ply base held by the Germans on
French soil near the American en-
campment.
st. Mihiel would form strong cen
ire for offensive operations by the
Germans if they could spare the men
and munitions for operations on a ma
jor scale. Under these conditions there
might be reason for some uneasiness
concerning the inviolability of the Am
erican training ground. But, it is scarce
ly likely that any effort the Germans
are now able to make would be suffi-
ciently powerful to reach the American
practice trenches.
Operations against General Perish
ing's rockies undoubtedly hold out
strong temptation to Won Hindenburg,
who is notoriously favorable to the
strategy of striking the enemy first.
But, if the Germans fall victim to
this termination in the present instance
they will be playing into the hands of

supposed American eneampment, is
heavily protected by an intricate SER
les of defenses. Behind these positions
the Americans would be admirably
placed to protect themselves. even
without French assistance.
With French help in reserve, the
chances would all favor the kl User
meeting a defeat second only to Yer
dun if he were to attempt to swing
his line southwark from st. Mihiel
The kaiser's sole chance of serious
success is that he might develop sur
prise major attack if the French were
not alert. but, the constant patrol,
raiding and reconnaissance attacks in
which the French are engaging near
the American training center indicate
that a surprise blow is out of the ques-
tion.

We are told by reports in the
German press that the food crisis
there this winter is most acute.
Nothing approaching a crisis exists
in America.
The point is that the govern
ment is simply demanding food
substitution which is a process in
volving no inconvenience.
We are not asked to starve, to
deny sustenance to or bodies; to
approach in any way condition
such as exists among the people Of
Germany.
We are asked, first of all to
eliminate waste and, secondly, to
conserve those foods which are
most needed in Europe. These are
meats, wheat and sugar. We also
are asked to conserve fats as they
are used in The construction Of ex-
plosives But we are told by the
Government that while we must
eat less Hhe9t We can make up for
it WI. corr e, barley and other
grains.

Instead of meat, we can eat more
FISH, of which there is an unlimited
supply, and we can eat poultry,
eggs, cheese, drink milk, and other
meat substitutes, without harm or
Inconvenience.
In the saving of sugar, no one
will deny that we have been ex-
travagant beyond all bounds of
reason. In the conservation of this
food, we are asked to eliminate this
needless waste. We are not even
asked to give up CONNECTIONS, but
we are asked to substitute honey,
brown sugar and the coarser forms
of molasses, which comprises abb
solutely no hardship.
In the matter of fats. we are
asked again to dispense with waste,
which imposes no hardships. and
to substitute vegetable fats in place
of animal fats as much as possi-
Bile.
In giving advice regarding the
American Christmas dinner, Food
Administrator Hoover said:
Turkey, goose and vegetables
on which Americans dine at Christ
mas according to ancient custom,
are the very things the food adj
ministrator wants them to eat as
they conserve wheat, red meats,
fats and other needed war foods
This statement is cited here in
order to show the governments
policy in food matters.
But because of this clement
attitude we should not in any way
seek an advantage therefrom for
the sake of personal pleasure. Let
lis meet our government more than
half way in these matters. 1t is
our patriotic duty to do SO.

Over Hundred from Can nery Points Kept Away by Reports of the

DEATHS ARE REPORTED
Effort Will Be Made to Con- tradict Rumors, Which Are Absolutely
 UnfOunded.

A hundred people at Hoonah, Tena kee and other cannery points who wish to come to Juneau, are remain ing there because they believe that Juneau is quarantined because of Spanish influenza People there have heard and believe the rumor that no one is allowed to enter or leave Juneau, according to word brought in on one of the cannery boats last night Not until they receive word that Juneau is perfectly safe place to come to, will they leave for here Rumor has it at the cannery ports that there have been several deaths of the epidemic in Juneau
 Last night, before Capt J. T. Cam of the Lisianski Packing Company came in to Juneau, he stopped at Thane and called up Glen Bartlett at thr C""''Nonu To.cl to ascertain whether or not to come on in 70 ju. neau
 The fact that there has not hoon one death from the d~e7ee in Jl- neau, that the ten cases which Gome from the boats are under control, that all steamers are examined to keep leases" from mingling with the people, that all of the business hous- es are carrying on their business as usual and the theatres and public places are running as usual, form the best refutation of the reports that have been spread about the disease here.
