the war lasts that length of time and
the present indications are that it
will. For that reason the fuel ad-
ministrators throughout the United
States are urging upon the people
the necessity of substituting wood
for coal wherever possible.
They want every person who can
to cut sufficient wood for their next
winters needs. In order to carry
out this program every county in the
state is to be organized that the great
need of conserving coal may be brot
to the attention of the people.

All For Uncle Sam
By Lucille .Segal

Take good care ofyourself, dear,
and cable me as soon as you
get over there. | hate to see you
leave, Jean, but we have no boys to
keep up the glory of the SCHUYLER
family, and if Uncle Sam wants you,
you may 60" The speaker was a
tall grey haired man of about fifty.

it will be awfully hard to stay in my

well here we are, Dad. Don t
get out as Dick said that the captain
said that l should be alone. | hate
this secrecy but it's a part of my
"bit."
After bidding her father fond
farewell, Jean got out of the car
which had drawn up before a govern
ment building in back of which the
blue Atlantic rolled.
When she entered the building it
was but four o'clock and so very few
people were around and none who
wore khaki.
Jean was thankful for this because
if any of the soldiers, who were to
sail on the boat, were to see her,
her trip would probably be failure.
Soon tall man, wearing the in
sigma of an officer in the army, came
up to her and in a low voice queir-
led, Miss Schuller?" Then, seeing
her nod of approval, he continued,
You have the papers. have ar
ranged everything SO that no one
will see you when you get on the
boat. Come then, this way
He led her down a long pier at
the end of which. large boat lie,
bearing the name of "Tuscania"
They got on the boat and hurried
along, at last reaching a room quite
away from the others.
The captain and Jean entered and
after showing her around and ad-
vising her not to leave her room the
captain lett.
At midnight, after intense waiting
Jean heard the anchor lifted and
keen sense of. adventure thrilled her
as they moved slowly away toward
foreign waters and besides she was
going as messenger for Uncle Sam.
For six days the boat moved
steadily along and then came the
morning of the sixth of February,
when the Tuscania had but days
journey between it and the coast of
England.
After finishing her lunch, Jean
stood at her port window expecting
any minute to see land.
Suddenly there was a crashing
sound as if Neptune, in the mightiest
of anger had risen upon them.
From the horror stricken lips of
those outside came the cry, "A U
boat!"
Jean stood as if petrifed. Soon
down the passage toward her door
came the sound drumming foot steps.
The next instant voice outside
called Miss Schiller" Jean opened
the door and the young captain en-
tered. BE quick, Miss Schiller.
Don't waste any time"
Please, Captain Jack. | don't
want to 60 out now. Everything
will be spoiled if any of the boys see

fact that, although we soon began the manufacture of these classes of guns at home, there were no guns of the caliberS mentioned manufactured in Am erica on our front at the date the armistice was signed The only guns of these types produced at home thus far received in France are 109 seven ty-tfve millimeter guns.
 French Cooperate Generously.
 "In aviation we were in the same situation, and here again the French government came to our aid until our own aviation program should be un- der way. We obtained from the French the necessary planes for training our personnel and they have provided us with a total of 2,676 pursuit, observation and bombing planes. The first airplanes received from home arrived in May, and alto- gether we have received 1879. The first American squadron completely equipped by American production, including airplanes, crossed the Ger man lines on August 7. 1918. As to tanks. we were also compelled to rely. upon the French. Here, how
 
 reason that the French production could barely meet the requirements of their own armies,
 Tt should be fully realized that the French government has always taken a most liberal attitude and has been most anxious to give us every possible assistance in meeting our de- ficien in these as well as in other respects. Our dependence upon France for artillery, aviation and tanks was, of course, due to the fact that our industries had not been ex- clusively devoted to military pro- duction. All credit is due our own manufacturers for their efforts to meet our requirements, as at the time the armistice was signed we were able to look forward to the early supply of practically all ou1 necessities from our own factories
