PROMISE EFORARMY
War and Navy Departments
and Shipping Board
Show. Team Work.


Soldiers at the front will be brought
back as soon as the combined efforts
Of the War and Navy departments and
the United States Shipping Board can
bring it to pass. Announcement was
made last night that Secretary Baker,
Secretary Daniels and Chairman
Hurley had reached an agreement by
which the three agencies can do ef-
fective team work.
Civilian Crews on Transports.
The shipping board, It was stated.
would be able to provide the man
power for the transports. The help
ers would be obtained through the
nationwide recruiting. system es-
tablished by the board. The trans
ports. unlike the men-of-war, can
carry civilian crews.
1t Is not expected that the real work
of bringing the troops back will comA
mence before January /. It Is pointed
out that the peace conference will
hardly be organised by that date and
it would not be good policy to make
a substantial reduction in the Ameri-
can fighting force. at least until the
commissioners NEE. and announce
tentative agreement.
Four hundred f1remen month. in
addition to those already employed
in that capacity, will be supplied by
the board. and hundreds of others
with the ratings of stewards, sailors
cooks and coal passers will be placed
at the disposal Of the War Depart
ment. the board announced. 1t will
be necessary. however. continually to
recruit men for the service. and 5000
are needed at.ouce.

This is a big year for the small boy

Then came the war and the cry to
save sood, so the small boy went to
the forest resolved to bring home all
the nuts be could for the sake of the

But now a need, more directly CON
cerned with life saving than the meat
from the nuts. confronts the small
boys and girls of America. That
need is carbon for the gas masks Of
our soldiers who face the deadly gas
attacks Of the enemy
The shells Of hickory nuts. walnuts,
and butternuts which grow so plenti-
ful in many parts of the United
States make a very high quality car
bon for gas masks. according to the
government chemists who have been
searching for the very best material
to protect our soldiers at the front.
No other nuts will do excepting Brazil
nuts, which are imported.
Seven pounds Of shells will porduce
caroon enough for one mash
Each year many bushels of nuts go
to waste in the woods tor lack OF
someone to gather them This year
when hic60ry nuts may serve a double
patriotic purpose. none should be left
on the ground or trees. as long as
there are children to gather them.
Whole nuts can be sent in, but it is
better to take out the meats. in order
that valuable food may not be wasted
The pits from peaches, apricots.
