PROCLAMATION BY
THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES

Every day the great principles for
which we are fighting take fresh hold
upon our thought and purpose and
make it clearer what the end must be
and what We must do to achieve it.
We now know more certainly than
We ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
it grows clearer and clearer what su-
preme service it is to be Americas
privilege to render to the world. The
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
lea must therefore have for us in this
fateful year a peculiar and thrilling
Significance. We should make it day
of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded
and by which our present heroic tasks
are inspired.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do appoint Saturday, the 18th
day of October, 1918, as Liberty day
On that day 1 request the citizens of
every community of the United States,
city, town and countryside, to cele-
brate the discovery of our country in
order to stimulate a generous response
to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commem-
orative addresses, pageants, harvest
home festivals, or other demonstra-
tions should be arranged for in every
neighborhoOd under the general direc-
ton of the secretary of the treasury
and the immediate direction of the
Liberty Loan committee, in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
education and the public school au-
thorities. Let the peoples response to
the Fourth Liberty Loan express the
measure of their devotion to the ideals
which have guided the country from
It's discovery until now, and of their
determined purpose to defend them
and guarantee their triumph.
For the purpose of participating in
Liberty day celebrations all employees
of the federal government throughout
the country whose services can be
spared may be excused on Saturday
the 18th day of October, for the entire
day.
In witness whereof, have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District Of Columbia
this 10Th day of September in the yea1
of Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hun
dred and Eighteen. and of the Inde

Clothing Prices in Belgium.

It is becoming more and more
difficult to obtain clothing in Belgium,
according to the Belgian Bulletin,
which says that persons who have been
thrown out of work may secure on
easy terms, once a year, from the
charity clothing club, a dress or an
overcoat.
A Belgian interned in Holland OBJ
tanned permission, to wear civilian
dress. His wife, who had remained
at Verviers, joined him, and he wrote
recently:
"My wife has come with my person
al effects. However, before she left
a number of persons came to her and
offered her for my Sunday suit and
overcoat 500 francs ($10O) for pair
of velvet trousers, which cost Z
francs (s1.40) before the war. 40
francs ($8}; for my shoes 250 francs

serve districts j:

Now that the fourth loan is upon US
we must fasten our minds upon a fur
ther fact:
The loan will not be a complete sue
cess unless every individual bases his
subscription on a budget.
That is to say, he must know Just
how much he is getting and just how
much he is spending, and he must
subscribe with this knowledge in mind.
The day for guesswork has gone.
The country is stripping for action.
We must know what we can do. Then
we shall be surprised at the outcome.

Brig. Gen Charles Richard, acting
surgeon general while General Gorgas
is in France, has corrected statement
''that the nursing needs of the army
have already been met, and that 27,-
600 nurses have been enrolled by the
Red Cross in response to the surgeon
generals request for $4,000 graduate
nurses by January 1, 1919"
General Richard says that 25,OO0
nurses must be obtained before the
first of the year. More than 10000 are
now on the rolls of the army nurse
corps, leaving 5000 still to be found.
General Richard estimates that before
July l, 1919, $4,000 nurses will be re-
quired. Thus il less than year 34,OOO
nurses must step forward, General
Richard points out, to meet the need.

To meet the growing interest in the
public health nurse as a factor in
saving the lives of babies and in keep
ing the health of the American popula-
ton back of the lines up to standard,
the children's bureau of the United
States department of labor has just
published pamphlet on "The Public
Health Nurse; How She Helps to
Keep Our Babies Nell.'' This PAM
phlet was prepared by DR.. c. e. A
Winslow, professor of public health
at Yale university. 1t has been sent
to the state child welfare chairman
of the council of national defense for
the information of communities that
are engaged in the children'S year
campaign to save 100000 babies.
The national organization for pub
lie health nurses has suggested thai
the state councils of national defense
shall engage a supervisor of nurses
who shall keep up the standard OF
public health nursing in the state ant
especially shall keep in touch witt
those nurses who are provided witt
only the emergency equipment of the
ten-weeks' campaign.

Statistics gathered under direction
of Brig. Gen. r. E. Wood, acting quar-
termaSter general of the army, show.
that the cost of equipping and main
tanning a soldier overseas is $423.47 a
year. To equip and maintain soldier
in the United States costs $327.7S
year.
Subsistence, figured at 60 cents a
day, amounts to $251.9 .95 per man over!
seas; figured at 30 cents day in the
United States, it amounts to $1S9.S0
per man. The cost of the initial equip
ment for the soldier the first year in
the United States is $11530. The cost
of the initial equipment of the soldier
overseas for the first year is $40. Al
/ This cost of $42.41 is for articles
which are issued for overseas use only
and which are in addition to the regu-
lar equipment. Thus it appears that
if the soldier going overseas did not
take with him d great deal of his
equipment already supplied him in the
United States, the contrast between
the cost of equipping and maintaining
soldier in this country and abroad
would be much more marked.

There would seem to be little, II
any, connection between the problem
of supplying General Pershing with
artillery ammunition and that of fur
nishing Tuscumbia, Ala, say, with
better milk. Actually, however, the
relation of one to the other is so
real and intimate that the chief of
ordnance of the United States war de-
partment has approved plans whereby
not only Tuscumbia, but also dozens
of other cities and towns where ord
nance material is manufactured, will
get better milk and better living con-
diticns generally. 1t has been found
that where living conditions are bad
and housing provisions inadequate
ordnance workers become discontented
and production lags.
Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Florence,
Ala, contain the employees of the
three great government nitrate plants
located in the vicinity of Mussel
Shoals. Like most small towns sud-
denly required by the present war to
accommodate huge ordnance enter
priSes planted in their midst, these
three communities were wholly unable
to afford proper housing; and condi-
tions rapidly got beyond control. The
better and more desirable of the work.
ers, with their families, grew restless.
A transformation is now in progress
under direction of the community or
ganIzatiOn branch. Vice centers have
been eradicated, the sale of liquor
has been placed under rigid control.
A public market has been established
for the three towns. Here farmers
from the surrounding districts take
their products and dispose of them to
| representatives of the ordnance
plants. Wagons of the ordnance de-
| partment then cart the produce to the
| plants and sell it at cost to the work
| erS.
| Central bureaus for these three
! towns have undertaken the housing
problem. Parks and Fairgrounds are
| being planned for the workers and
| their families. The communities them
| selves have been awakened to the
| significant part which such improve
ments play in the business of making
munitions and of winning the war

TO prevent the waste of labor and
parchment paper and cartons made
for units of butter smaller than the
pound size, the rule prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of butter in less
than pound prints, has been amended
so as to go into effect on January !.

After the first of the year no quar-

less than a pound can be sold; except
that a retailer may cut a unit of a

board has announced that agricultural
periodicals must reduce their con-

The regulations were to become effec-

A committee of publishers recon-
mended the use of lighter body paper !;
discontinuance of subscriptions in ar
rears; free exchanges to be cut off
and free copies to advertisers and adj

abandonment of sales at nominal or
exceedingly low price, of prize con-
tests for subscriptions and special or

been regularly issued in the past.
Establishment of new papers during

necessity for them can be shown, and
