A FRIDGE OF SHIPS"

General Pershing, in command of the American for on foreign so sends the to the American people call Make bridge of ships to France~ What pity that that slogan not sounded early last summer so loud that Washington could hear it.
 He does not specify steel ships He wants any ships that can carry men cargo In the matter of wooden ships we are six months behind and this avodabe delay
 due almost entirely to the clash between two whose opinions wooden ships did not coincide Neither of them in authority they tangled and held up the production of ships several months until the president dismissed both of thensOmethng he should have done aS soon he learned that they unable to agree
 All over the country from newspapers of every shade of opnion went up the cry: Ships! Ships! and more Ships but it did not reach Washington with sufficient force to action Under the antquated system lack of system except the president himself could
 rive an order to build wooden ships and at the time see that it obeyed.
 One may hear that it is of use to cry spilled milk Very tue but is of to employ six months delay in the ship building program solemn warning against any delay in anything which will contribute winning the General Pershing would not now be calling for bridge of ships if the president not afraid of hurt ones feelings had acted promptly The lesson taught by Pershngs message is that every incompetent who is holding place of responsibility should be thrown overheard at Once-before his incompetence can work more damage.

WHY A FAST DAY?

From practical point of view, Senator Shoots pro pOSa of monthly fast day in order to conserve the food supply not wise Even if it could be made popular Tn the sense of universal observance it is very doubtful whether would accomplish it's pupOSe eXcesses the day before and the day after the fast day would probably overcome the benefit of one-dayinthrty conservation Human nature must be taken into account and all Ot s despite our patriotism, are human beings.
 But one fast day month-makng it a day of med itation and prayer-wOuld have tremendous spiritual influence on the civilian population of the country not only in food conservation but in every other duty we owe to our nation and to our allies in the great struggle for the worlds democracy If are to have fast day let it be one Sunday in the month Many of us do not attend church as often as should and too many men neglect divine service altogether The tendency of the times IS to convert Sunday into day of innocent wholesome pleasures but while we at every one would re- ceive spiritual benefit twelve times in year he aban doned the Sunday feast and turned his eyes heavenward We shall need spiritual strength to carry us through this war
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1918-02-28

Make one Sunday every month day of fasting and prayer and you bring your heart and soul closer to the millions among allies in Europe who suffer daily from lack of food of them to the point of starvation Inn pose hunger on yourself month and you can not nep but create more sympathy in your own heart for friends who go hungry all the time You will not injure yourself physically by limiting yourself to one meal the day you are not working. The days sacrifice, at tended with discomfort and possibly little pain, will
 inspire you than anything else to conserve food You will not Overeat the day before the day after When your spiritual determination is fixed you will soon feel that any failure to food and any waste of food are upardonabe sins day of fasting and prayer once month will be immense help in winning the war
