AMERICANS FREE TO
TRAVEL IN CANADA

American tourists travelling in Can
ada during the summer will be sub
Jected to as few inconvenience be-
cause of war regulations as may be
possible with the enforcement of
those regulations
Senator G. D. Robertson, chair
man of the Canada registration
board, officially denounces as with
out foundation reports circulated in
Canada and in the United States to
the effect that visitors to Canada
from the United States will be COM
pelled to register at post office be-
fore being able to secure hotel ac-
cOmmodations or transportation,
that women visiting Canada will be
detained, and that Americans travel
'ns in Canada will require passports.
He says that neither in the law,
in the regulations for Canadian reg
o.. istration, nor in any instructions is
sued or contemplated, is there any
thing that would indicate desire or
intention to impose restrictions upon
Americans or allied or neutral aliens
entering, travelling in, or leaving
Canada.
The registration act applies only
TO people permanently resident in
Canada and does not affect anyone
living in the United States. No reg
istration at a post office is neces,
gary for Americans, and no passports
are required.
On entering Canada, visitors give
assurance that their usual place of
residence Is not Canada and are sup
FLIED with Identification cards by
the Canadian immigration officials,
which enable them to travel freely
where they wish without any inter-
ference.

said c. F. Weller, associate secretary

the war depends on man power, and
man power can not be sustained in
any nation without health and
wholesomeness in the children.
Far worse than exhausting Ameri-
cas- financial capital would be the
exhaustion of child life, which is
man-power capital.
England and France began as the
United States has been tempted to

CAMP LEWIS WANTS MUCH
CANDY FOR IT'S SOLDIERS

That the government realizes the
usefulness OF candy in the diet of
our soldiers is shown by the immense
order for 100000 worth of candy,
iShich has just been placed for the
men at Camp Lewis.
Half of this order will be filled
i'y a Seattle manufacturer and half
~ a Tacoma candy manufacturer. 1t
is the largest candy order ever plac-
cd in the northwest and probably
the largest yet authorized by the gov
eminent for the soldiers.
1t is estimated that it will take
three months to fill the order and
that the supply will be sufficient to
last the five exchanges at Camp
Lewis for a period of three or four
r.onths.
The war has done more than any
thing else to demonstrate that candy
Is of tremendous food value. A sold

100000 of these books were pur-
chased, the others having come as
gifts from the American people and
through the public libraries of the

IN America alone have received COL

Two hundred librarians, including
leaders in their profession in this

SCH00LMEN ARE WANTED
IN NEXT SUMMER CAMP

. Principals and superintendents Of
schools attending the summer ses-
sion of the University of Oregon are
sending out letter to the school,!
boards Of the state urging that some
member of the high school faculty
or the city superintendent be dele
gated by the board to attend the Au-
Sust military training camp at the
university.
The letter, written at the unani-
nous request of a largely attended
meeting at the Hotel Osburn, points
out, in explanation of It's request,
that next year will be a war year.
y The schools will be an in
creasing agency for efficient organi-
zaticn of the community forces. Mill
tary training will be desired next
;ear by many of the high schools;
rlilitia companies will desire to or
ganize; home guards will be wanting
leaders and drillmasters.
Further, if this military training
is not provided for the schools, there
will be a great tendency on the part
Of high school boys to enlist un-
trained. The suggestion is therefore
in line with the appeal the govern
ment is making to keep our boys in
school, to the end that the supply
of trained men may not be de-
pleted."

New York, Nov, 5.---Patriotic ac-

Industries Board curtailing the manu-
facture of monographs by 60 per
cent. is voiced in a statement made
here today by H, L, Wilson, chair
man of the committee of representa-

a sacrifice of business amounting, it is
estimated, to more than $25,00G000 a
year. the manufacturers say they will
find some way to go on making music
help to win the war and meanwhile
prepare to make it contribute heavily
to the work of restoration after the
conflict, Mr.. Wilson's statement fol-
lows;
"Since April 1917, there has been
no time to question what was going
to happen to any American industry.
The only question has been how to
win the war, If by cutting down its
supply of materials and labor On in
dustry can advance the cause of free
dom by allowing thereby the manu-
facture of Just so much more ship
steel or so many more extra guns, its
duty Is obvious. In view of the fact
therefore that the country's entire
stock of steel and coal is hardly suff1-
| cient to fill actual military require
ments, the photograph industry is
glad to relinquish any part of its
! normal share of these materials. With
victory now in sight, it is all the more
imperative that there be no diffusion
! of the resources that have been and
are still being concentrated upon the
| single great task in which the civiliz-
ed forces of the world are engaged"
