My trip to Fair Bluff was a pleas
ant one 1 found Rev. Mr.. Stanfield
engaged in meeting at the Metho-
dist church. The Methodist folks have
beautiful brick building in which
to worship and it speaks we'll for their
church pride and shows they feel that
the temple Of the Lord should be equal
to. if not better than, the residences
OF the people who worship at His
shrine
Fair Bluff has many improvements
since left there 19 years ago. To-
day there are FL stores A good num-
Der OF them are built of brick and
would be creditable in city much
larger than the one in which they dis
play their architectural beauty. Many

Government Will Cut
Out All Solicitors;
Thousands Affected

Reading, Pa, Jan. 10.-Since the
government has taken charge of the
railroads it is learned here to-day
that it is the plan of the Federal of
ficials to cut out travelling freight
and PASSENGER solicitors all over the
country. This will affect thousands
of men, many OF whom are well
known in this city. The competing
systems employed a large number of
men and maintained officers in many
cities.
1t was the duty of these men to
solicit freight and look after the in
terests of their respective lines in a
certain territory and some of them
travelled considerably. There is no
necessity for their employment since
there is no competition. between the
lines. ',.s
An official of the Reading railway
stated to-day that the company
would take care of it's travelling men
all of whom have a valuable expert
ence in the freight business. The
company did not employ near as
many travelling men as some of the
other lines.

States Departments Problems

States Departments Problems
Il state the foregoing conditions
of the War Departments problem
and some of the results attained. for
two purposes" he said. I'm the
first place the American people are
entitled to know of the splendid ef-
fectiveness with which they have
been able to organize the man power
and the material power of the ma
ton in q great cause; and sec
ond, our army in France under Gen
eral Pershing and our allies are en-
titled to have the benefit resulting
from the depression of the morale
of their enemies which must come
when the Germans realize that the
American democracy has neither
blundered nor hesitated, but actual
ly brought the full power of its
men and resources into completely
organized strength against their mill
tary machine.
NO army of similar size in the
history of the world has ever been
raised, equipped or trained SO quick
ly. No such provision has ever been
made for the comfort, health and
general well-being of an army.
Nation Now Organized
by the cooperation of all inter-
ests and all people in the country,
the nation is now organized and set
to its task with unanimity of spirit
and confidence in its powers. More
has been done than anybody dared
to believe possible. That there have
been here and there errors of iudg-
ment and delays goes without say
ing; but l should be wanting IN
frankness were L to omit my own
estimate of the estimate of the real
GnselishnesS and intelligence With
which my associations, military and
civilian, have applied themselves to
this undertaking, and the results
demonstrate the success of their eff
forts"
The secretary gave the committee
an outline of the work of the de-
paItment and it's various bureaus.
Outline of Work
"On the first day of April, 1917,
the Regular Army" he said, com
prised 5,791 officers and 121, 1877 en-
listed men; the National Guard in
Federal service, approximately g.
733 officers and 76.713 enlisted men:
and the reserve 1000 enlisted men.
There were also at that time approx
mately 1855 officers in the re-
serve but as these were on inactive
duty they cannot properly be con-
sidered in estimating the strength of
the army of the United States at
that time. On the thirty-frst day
of December, 1917, the Regular
Army consisted of ,250 officers and

European Situation
Demands U. S. Wheat;
Americans Must Save

Washington. Jan. TO- - The food
situation in Europe is regarded here
as so critical that the food adminis-
tration is planning to release an ad-
ditional 90,000,000 bushels of wheat
despite the fact that the normal ex-
port surplus had been shipped by
the middle of December. The AM
erican people will be asked to save
to make up thte deficiency. t
The demand from the allies is so
insistent that the food administration
has decided to take chance on a
shortage in the spring to meet in
part their needs. If consumption is
not reduced, officials see a possible
shortage of flour in the United States
in May before the new wheat crop
comes in in June.
