Patriotism Without Flaw.

To the Editor:
I cannot understand how an American
could doubt Roosevelt's loyalty To Uncle
Sam. In my Judgment his patriotism is
without a flaw. Can anything be more
disgraceful than TO have such men as
Bin Stone shoulder the responsibility for
starting such a row and defending the
administration when only n short time
ago he had n yellow streak up his back

States abandon its defense OF interna-

To the Editor;

not afraid OF this man, n man among
the greatest OF men. a man who has
done more for this country than any

nation, for the American flag .Hn Z

TENT SHAKES FOR
 THE GOVERNMENT
Capt. Inman Tells About the Vast Undertaking of Henry Quellmalz
 Lumber Mfg. Co.

Captain G. A. Inman, who is well known in Newport and Jackson coun- ty, spent Saturday in the city, hav- ing come to the city for a few days from Brookings, Clay county, on Black river, where he is employed with the Henry Quellmalz Lumber Mfg. Co. Captain Inman says his concern is busy turning out tent stakes for the United States govern ment, and has supplied large num- Der of the products for European points and camps and cantonments in the United States.
 We are under contract to furnish the government with tent stakes," said MT. Inman. "The Henry Quell- malz Lumber and Manufacturing Company, one of the biggest in the country, has already shipped ten mill lion tent stakes to European points, and is under contract to turn out twenty million more. We ship di- rect to Europe, and also have sup piled stakes for camps and canton ments in this country.
 sThe mills at Brookings employ 500 men, but recently we have been hampered to brief extent by the shortage of labor, and suspect that the coming present draft will take many more of our men. The company has already furnished 125 men for the army. In our employ we have forty women, who have taken the places of

TIME FOR AMERICANS.

With the American Army in France, Jan. 2.-(Correspondonce of the As sociated Press)-Correct time soon will be transmitted to the entire American Expeditionary Force over it's own system of telegraph lines. At present wireless stations each day at a certain hour pick from the air the figures flashed from Paris by which the clocks of the army are synchronized. This method does not insure absolute accuracy.
 When the last links of the tele- graph system are connected, each day at II o'clock simultaneous sig nal will be sent to every station so that through the existing zone and, later on, at the front as we'll, clocks and watches will show the same time. This synchronization is desirable un- der present conditions and it is an absolute necessity with troops at the front when, for instance, orders may specify that some operation is to be carried out at one point at certain time and another operation at an other point at another time. The success of both operations may de- pend upon them being launched vir- tually on the second.
 Miles upon miles of telegraph lines strung on poles labled ''U. s. A." now stretch through France. They may be found running to base ports, zig tagging through the instruction zone over hills, through valley, along roadside. On some of the poles there are double cross-beams supporting Tn many cases as many as ten wires. There is a complete system of oper- ators and central exchanges as well as a considerable force of linemen and repairmen, quite number of whom worked for telephone and tele- graph companies in the United States before the war. The "service" leaves little if anything to be desired.

work OF women in the Liberty loan
has been the means OF arousing
among their sisters of foreign birth
and extraction an appreciation OF
this country's cause. The very first
organization OF women in the United
States to subscribe to the Liberty
loan was the Catholic Slovak Ladies'
union, OF whom it is recorded, that
they came forward with set OF
resolutions that has few parallels in
the spirit OF passionate gratitude to
American free institutions
For the first time in the history OF
our country, women have been rec
ognizcd as potential factors in a
great governmental enterprise. Be
cause o. the generous spirit in which
their efforts have been received and
because of the fair dealing they have
met at the hands OF the United
States treasury, they are pladging
themselves with the most passionate
ardor to the overwhelming success
of the fourth Liberty loan and to the
devoted service OF their country so
long as Secretary McAdoo shall call
upon them.
