WILSON'S POLICY WOULD
HEAL WOUNDS OF WAR


The Daily News says: 1T is idle for
Lloyd George or any other statesman
TO maintain that the spirit underlying
a league of nations is reconcilable with
the spirit underlying and inspiring the
protective tariff. We must choose one
or the other. It Is question OF the
policy OF Wilson or the policy OF the
Paris resolutions. II American views
on the Paris resolutions have been un-
expressed in Official documents. they
have been expressed repeatedly and
uncQuivocaily in President Wilson'S
speeches. which have preached a gospel
utterly Incompatible with the perpetual
ton Of hostility through an economic
war"
Conservative papers. on the other
hand. generally indorse the Premier's
address. although some accuse him OF
being indefinite. The Times, rccogniz-
Ing the existence of the opinion in some
quarters that the United States will not
consent 20 the employment OF economic
weapons against Germany, emphasizes
the fact that the Premier expressed
the hope that an agreement might be
problems between America and Eng
land. 1t cites the phrase used by Pres
ident Wilson in his Mount Vernon adj
dress. no half-decision is tolerable,'
and says:
Germany is hardly likely to believe
that the allies mean what President
Wilson thus said for them as long as
they fail 20 take what Lord Robert
Cecil Under-Secretary of State for For
eisn Affairs, described the other day
as All steps required to destroy the
economic basis OF Gcrmany's military
effort"

tered the Northern Pacific depot at

night operator, in charge of the de-
pot, with their weapons, secured be-
tween 81 and $12 from the money

clared, over long distance to Fargo,
this afternoon that he saw no persons
in the vicinity of the depot.
Enter Women's Waiting Room.
The two men. according to Chief
Of Police Hoist, entered the depot by
way Of the women's waiting room,
and, stepping up to the ticket win
dow, covered Mr.. Scharnack with
their revolvers.
Turn out the lights. and fork
over that money, quick" they COM
manded Of him. The lights were
turned out, and the operation COM
pleted by the light Of the bandits
8lashlight.
The robbers then stepped into the
office, and, forcing Mr.. Sharnack to
stand on top Of q, desk, removed $1S
from his pockets.
Chief Of Police Hoist was notified,
and arrived at the depot but few
moments after the robbers had left,
but they had been swallowed up in
the darkness.
The holdup was methodically car
ried out, indicating that the men
were old hands in the ,holdup game,
Chief of Police Hoist said.

Shades of Napoleon!" one is like
ly to say upon seeing the young
woman of America strolling down
the avenue. For surely that world
conquerer never looked the part
more than do the women Of today
as they 90 swinging down the boule-
wards in their military capes and
hats. These women in their chic
war time out fits may not capture
worlds, but they do capture many an
admiring glance and perhaps heart
or two.
The cape which is the smartest
wrap Of the season, and it Is pre-
dicted that it will be the smartest
Of the coming season also, has TAX
en- the laurels from the trench coat
and leaves that garment in the list
Of the ordinary. Capes have always
had certain dash and swing that
was hard to resist, but with the
present war they have become more
popular than ever before Two sea-
sons ago they made their appearance
in the shops, but were adopted by
only very few OF the extreme dress
aers.
This season the capes are not ex-
treme, instead they are practical and
serviceable. The one pictured win
appeal TO any young woman who
looks we'll ins gray. 1t is battleship
gray gabardine with a chin chin col
lar which may be worn high or low.
The hat which is one Of the out
standing features Of the outfit Is
adapted from Napoleon's tricorn. It
is dark blue silk and gray straw
combined. The frock which Is con-
cealed for the most part by the long
folds OF the cape lis q soft pussy
willow, gray taffeta with white fig
urea. It's odd sleeves show up 10
good advantage in tae eAaaveless

Washington. Aug. CT wonder
what the boys get to eat and wheth-
er they get enough and whether it's
nice, clean food?" That's the thought
every mother, wife, sweetheart and
friend of soldier boy in France has
There Is no need to carry that
thought. Here is the answer:
The boy is being fed right.
The subsistence bureau Of the
quartermaster's department, under
the supervision Of Col. William r.
Grove, attends to all these require
ments.
Not one single soldier has missed
one single meal because .. M. c.
the quartermaster department Of the
United States army-didn't have the
food ready for him. And the supply
has been so carefully selected, the
purchasing so nicely adjusted, the
transportation so accurately ar
ranged for that the loss through de-
terioration or spoiled goods has been
only one-half cent per month per
man.
AS to the quality Of the army food
furnished by the comInissary depart
ment, criticism is lacking. There
has been some bad meat furnished
the army that had to he condemned,
but this did not come through the
Quartermaster's stores. It was pur-
chased by the mess sergeants from
outside sources.
How Much ls Needed
The amount Of food necessary TO
supply the army is enormous. A
clerk in the subsistence bureau did a
little calculation on his own hook,
with the following results: The war
department, in 1917. purchased u.s.
100000 cans Of tomatoes. II these
were' placed end on end they would
reach from the Marine to Camp
Kearney, California, or from Seattle
to New York and back to San Fran
cisco and then to New Orleans
across the United States almost
three times. They cost, $10,450, 900.
They would fill 1850 freight cars, or
rs trains Of 81 cars each, CIR make a
train 25 miles long. If stacked up,
they would make four shafts the
size Of the Washington monument.
Considering the immense amount
