MILLION 4 DAY
j. 5. BUSINESS

Chicago, Feb. 16-From 81, 000,-
900 a year to s1.000,O0O a day has
been the increase in business han
died by the Chicago qaartermasters'
department which supplies a large
portion of American troops here and
in France.
At the outbreak of the war. ac-
cording to Colonel A. D. Kniskern,
depot quartermaster, the Chicago
depot had a staff of six officers and
thirty-five employees. At present
there are sixty officers and more
than 1000 employees.
Accounting for the phenomenal
growth of the Chicago depot, Colonel
Kniskern said that, while it was I'M
doubtedly due in a great measure to
the war itself, this fact alone did not
fully account for it.
The most important reason that
Chicago is the greatest storenouse
for the army in the country, Colonel
Kniskern said, as that it is the log
ical warehouse centre. It's railway
facilities are especially adapted to
the needs of the quartermasters' de-
partment and large portion of the
firms manufacturing war supplies
are located in the central department
of the army" Additional ware
horses are being erected constantly.
Everything from a pin to a motor
truck can be found in the Chicago
warehouses. A list of the army sup
plies handled includes all articles of
clothing, tents, tent poles, cots, auto
trucks, motorcycles. bicycles, tires.
meats, canned floods. grain, automo-
bile repair parts tent stoves. hard
ware, shoes and pins The srInnIies

STORM SWEEPS
COAST OF NORWAY

Christiana, Feb. 16.-A storm sur
passing in violence any within living
memory, swept Northern Norway
during the early part of the month.
Nearly a million dollars damage was
done to bridges and telephone and
telegraph communications. The
shipping losses were probably even
larger. Many fishermen's boats
and trawlers were blown ashore and
costal traffic practically ceased for
a week The German steamer Hebe
bound for northern Norway, was
obliged to run into the harbor of
Besaker, where her anchor chain
snapped and she ran ashore with a
hole in her side after cohiding with
two other steamers.
In Trondhjem the wind was so
strong that it was practically i'm
possible to move about the streets.
Houses and telegraph poles were
blown down and trees uprooted.

The Old Freedman's Bank.
rc the Editor of The Star;

Te the Editor Of The Star:
In observing the work of excavatins
for the new annex to the Treasury
building on Pennsylvania avenue, next
door to Riggs Bank, noticed that
the old vaults of the Freedman's Bank
had never been removed. Memories
connected with that building came
trooping back from the past, and
doubtless other elderly citizens will
recall the following incident.
The F'reedwan's Bank was erected
about the close of the civil war by
colored labor exclusively, and stood
for years a worthy monument to their
industry and capability. The two up
per floors were rented by the govern
ment. and occupied by the Department
of Justice. At the death of ex-Presi-
dent Fillmore. March 8, 1874. the win
dows of these floors were heavily
draped in black cambric. as was the
custom and material used in those
days. Mourning on the Freedman's
building for the man who signed the
fugitive slave hilr' was incongruous,
to say the least. Charles Sumner was
then very Ill and died few days after
Fillmore. That was the colored mans
opportunity to show his reverence.
and SO the entrance to the bank and
almost covered with black bombazine
of expensive quality. There these
mournful emblems hung for thirty
days, in respect to the man who sign
ed away their liberties, and to the
man whose life WAS devoted to secur-
ing their freedom. .---.

Wilson. 1t is as follows:
"Our nation has, we profoundly be-
lieve. with clean hands and pure heart
engaged in conflict for lofty and un-
selfish ends.
"The attainment of those ends de-
mands all the moral powers of our
people, the conservation Of our eco
nomic resources. and the highest eff

"These powers are impaired, this
efficiency is greatly decreased, and
our national vitality diminished by
the liquor traffic and all its attendant
evils, resulting in the waste of food.
the waste Of labor, and the waste of
life itself.
Having duly recognized this in our
Army and Navy by having taken
measures to prevent the use Of liquor
by our troops, we believe that those
who remain and serve at home should
willingly apply to themselves the
same principles which they apply to
our soldiers and sailors and should
submit to the same limitations for the
welfare of the nation.
Therefore, in the interest of those
who defend our nation, for the high
est efficiency of the industries which
provide our means of warfare, and
for the Strengthening of the moral
urge the President and Congress Of
the United States to take steps to
prevent during the entire period of
the war. by whatever means are feas-
ible, the manufacture and sale Of in
toxicatinE liquor Of all kinds for use
as a beverage, including the importa-
ton of all liquor"

Poor Mrs. Jay Returns.

Hardly had Sammy Jay disap-

thing. but she began to cry in such
a tone of distress that all who heard
1t were filled with pity. At first she
didn't understand just what had hap
