AUTO BURNS;
RISK LIVES

Several city firemen took their
lives in their hands Sunday after
noon when they removed burn
ing automobile from the CONNER
cial garage, TOT Pacific ave.
The machine, Stutz touring car
owned in Seattle, burst into flames
without warning. Thirty other
machines were standing in row
with 1T, and helpers in the garage
were SO fearful of an explosion
that they would not attempt to re-
move any Of them.
The burning car was entirely
aflame when firemen arrived. A
big gasoline tank was close by, and
the entire garage was saturated
with oil and gasoline. The fire
men pushed the blazing car thru
the center of the garage and into
the middle of Pacific ave., where
the fire was extinguished.
The cars gasoline tank caught
fire and threatened to explode a
moment after 1t had reached the
street.

WILLARD
BEFORE
PROBERS

(United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. IA.
Americas entrance into the
world war found mo govern
ment department yet organized
to handle the task thrust upon
this country" Chairman Daniel
Willard of the war industries
board testified to senate military
affairs probers today.
No one in the war department,
he added, knew even the re-
sources of the country at that
time.
The National Defense Council
advisory commission, Of which
Willard was chairman, didn't be-
gin to study war problems, he
said, until March, when 1t ap-
peared war was imminent" From
December, 1916, to March, 1917,
1t was peace organization"
Willard said the commission,
as soon as war developed, looked
into the war department and
found that nobody had attempt
ed to list or inventory the pro-
ductive capacity of munition
factories.
Howard Coffin" he said, had
listed 10000 industrial plants in
connection with the work of the
naval consulting board. That,
however, was wholly outside the
war department. Our depart
ment at once went to work to
get this much needed informa-
ton for the army"
Willard limited at reluctance
on the part of the war depart
ment bureau heads to give the
advisory commission full infor-
nation on the situation.
To meet conditions now, Will
lard advocated one-man control
of all purchases for the army,
navy and shipping board and for
the allies.

He Falsified In Draft
To Aid Needy Family

The fact that Thomas Gillespie
swore to a false affidavit in the
draft in order, as he thought, to
help out a needy woman and her
two young children, caused U. s.
Judge Cushman to be lenient with
him when he pleaded guilty in the
federal court Monday morning.
Gillespie admitted frankly to
the SQUIRT that he had sworn the
woman was his wife when she was
not, but declared she was without
money to provide for her family
and depended on him.
He was sentenced to six months

PEOPLE WARNED
AGAINST RIOTS
The new organization called
The League of Faithful Follow
ers of the Kaiser" has Just been
established in Berlin to counter
act the baleful tendencies of the
democracy"
Berlin Cologne, Frankfort and
numerous other towns have been
the scenes of violent demonstra-
lions.
So the various military COM
mand have issued broadcast the
following proclamation which is
now being angrily denounced by
the German socialist press:
GERMAN WORKMEN:
Attend no anti-gOvernment
protest meetings. Participate
i'm no street demonstrations.
Do not strike.
GERMAN MOTHERS:
Guard your children from
the evil that will befall them
IL they take part In public
rioting or disorders of any
| kind.
Whoever is found implicat-
ed in the distribution of pro-
test literature of any descrip-
ton is guilty of treason and
will be sent to prison and in
certain circumstances, sum-
marily executed.
| GERMAN MEN AND
WOMEN:
| RepeI as abOminable ver-
min those who would drive
your fathers and brothers,
and also your wives and
daughters into the streets, on
the plea Of serving the cause
Of peace, but really to deliver
Germany into the hands of
the enemy.
| The future Of our people is
at stake. The victory Is close
at hand. Therefore have
patience and heed this final
warning.

America ArriUeS

America Is arriving. More than eight hundred
thousand troops from these shores have been sent
to France, General March, the Chief of STAFF an
nounces; and by July the first he adds, the number
is expected to reach million. Was there ever a
inspiriting exhibition of a great duty being
greatly done? When entered the our armed
forces, all told hardly exceeded two hundred thou
sand men. That little more than year ago.
Today we have more than four times that many in
the lighting zone. three thousand miles the
sea, and are fast approaching point where three
million will be under arms.
Think of the energy, the speed, the skill, the
power which this betokens The mastering
and equipping of the vast army which America
proverbially unmilitarstic nation, has raised with
in twelvemonth would be of itself a%prodigious
performance But that the bare beginning.
Beyond the mastering and the training, stretched
the herculean task of transportation and supply,
which called not only for ships in greater numbers
than had known, but also for the construc-
ton of piers and wharves the French coast and
hundreds of miles of railroads into the interior OF
France. And after all this was done, there
manned the unspeakabiy anxious labor of getting
the hundreds of thousands of soldiers safely across
the Atlantic and of keeping the stream of necessa-
ries flowing continuously behind them.
Thinking of these things, but feel CRATE
fully proud of what America has accomplished and
immensely heartened for the future. Our forces at
the front reaching truly formidable proportions
and manifesting wherever engaged, valor
worthy of their epic and of their country's
heroic traditions What a challenge and what an
inspiration to every American at home!

One Year of Food Control.

1t vas little more than year ago that the
preliminary work of the National Food Admins
tration began, and only about ten months ago that
Congress passed the Food Control law. What
world of valuable results have been accomplished
in that short period! Shipments of wheat to
Allies have exceeded by more than one hundred
million bushels the estimated export surplus Ship
ments of beef have run as high as eighty-seven
million pounds a month compared with tho
ordinary rate of from one to two million pounds
a month while shipments of pork have increased
from a normal monthly average of fifty million
pounds to more than three hundred million.
The portion of these exports that goes to the
American expeditionary forces is steadily ncreas-
ing so that our duty to conserve food becomes
more and more directly matter of supporting our
own defenders at the front. But aside from that,
the service which we have rendered civilization in
sustaining our Allies is of itself intellectually impor-
tant Their cause is cause and the cause of
all mankind. Every sacrifice make to safeguard
them against want is for the good of America and
of the world.
The benefits of food control are felt in every
household as we'll in the larger problems of the
war. The Douglas County Herald notes the signih-
cant fact that the present price of -four is nine
dollars and eighty cents barrel compared with
sixteen dollars and seventy-five cents barrel one
year ago. Further, ITO the farmer going to market
wheat brings twenty-seven per cent more than last
summer, while to the housewife, buying in market.
il costs thirteen per cent less"
Such are the outstanding results of one year
of food control as effected by the co-opera-
ton of the rank and file OF the people with the
constituted authorities 1t has protected Allies
from extreme distress and has protected us from
constituencies profteers. Without this conserving
and defensive system we should have been vast
deal further from beating the Huns than we now
are, while domestic problems would have been
incomparably perplexing. Yet there
politicians who opposed all measures looking 10
food control. Whatever caused them to take that
attitude whether ignorance, stupidity sheer per-
verseness, the effect OF their policy if it had pre-
vailed, would have been disastrous.
