Particular attention Of the local and district
draft boards Of the state has been called by Gov
ernor Lister to the necessity Of exercising great
care in making the present draft classifcations,
to to it that the agricultural activities of the
state are not too seriously impaired. The state
ment calls attention to the fact that through vol
untary enlistment and the first draft a deep in
road has already been made in he farm labor sup
ply endangering the states food production, and
the governor urges the boards to keep this fact
uppermost and to safeguard the interests of the
state in classifying men under the new system.
The statement indicates in other words, the gov
ernor's belief that the need of maintaining the
state s quota of the food supply is virtually as
imperative as the need Of furnishing the states
quota Of men for the national army.

CAMP LEWIS THE BEST.

Just to set any doubters right, let listen for
minute to the comment of one who has been on all
the battlefronts in the present war, one who has
seen most of the training camps in the United
States as well as Europe and who is now stationed
at Camp Lewis Captain E. Alexander Powell
noted traveller and writer, student and COM
mentator of the great war, is now connected with
division headquarters at Camp Lewis, after re-
ceiving his commission at the Plattsburg training
school. This is what he says about Camp Lewis:
'sThe conditions here are infinitely better than
at any Of the other environments. The officers
camp at Plattsburg does not compare with the
barracks here, and the food is much better than
at any other camp have seen that should like
to tell every father and mother who may be wor-
ried over the treatment their boys are receiving,
that their fears are absolutely unfounded."
Here is one who has conditions on all sides
Of the world confict.-he knows what he is talk
ing about.

WASTE Is CRIMINAL.

ITO waste now is nothing short Of criminal, =
says Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, adding
that the duty Of the American people to economic
IN consumption of food and all other materials as
we'll as save money, can not be too often or too
strongly urged upon them. The duty is so impe
rative, it, Observance so vital to our country's
success, that it should be kept constantly before
them.
The proposition is plain and understandable.
We have lessened the productive powers of the
country by taking two million men away from the
productive forces Of the country; instead Of pro-
ducers Of one kind or another the soldiers are
consumers Of the products Of our FARMS factories,
and mines and when the munitions they expend
and win expend against the enemy are considered
they are tremendous consumers of the manufac-
tured products Of the country.
"A tremendous amount Of the manufacturing
energy Of the country has been withdrawn from
manufacturing the things we use in peace and
put to manufacturing the things we use in war.
The total loss to the country Of the productive
energy Of our soldiers and sailors and the diver
sion Of a great portion Of the other productive
energy Of the country to war purposes lessen to
great extent the amount of material and supplies
produced by the country.
To this condition Of lessened production and in
creased consumption of and by our own men must
be added the extraordinary demand made upon
this country to supply the armies of allies and
to great extent their population with food and
other material.
We must meet the condition that confronts us
in two ways-by the strctest economy in con-
sumption, for every pound we refrain from using
adds pound to be devoted to the uses of our
army and navy and the military forces of our
allies; and by speeding up our production to the
limit. The American people are going to do all
that they know to be necessary to win this war
to shorten this war. They have only to realize
the imperative duty Of economy and they will

THE NEED OF UNDERSTANDING.

In the opinion of the New York World, Sec
rotary Baker could hardly perform more
useful service at this time than to go before the
senate committee on military affairs and make
detailed explanation of the general military pol
icy of the United States and its relation to the
Allies. There is much that he cannot TELL owing
to the necessity of protecting certain military
secrets, but there is much more that he can tell,
and the country needs this information. Without
1t there can be no intelligent understanding of the
war activities of the United States
One OF the commonest complaints is that if this
country had been prepared for war the Allies
might already be in position to dictate the terms
Of peace. This complaint is born of sheer igno-

The action of the Council few
days ago in deposing the presiding
officer of that body he's been topic
of considerable conversation the past
week. This course, though some
what unexpected, was based upon
good and sufficient grounds, as was
shown by the unanimity with which
it was carried into effect. While it
was true that Mr.. Bradshaw was
elected by unanimous vote. it was
equally clear that he was far from
being the choice of either party.
We are having taste of real New
England winter the past few days.
The thermometer has ranged from 6
to 10 degrees mornings and even
ings, falling yesterday morning as
low as degrees above zero. The
ground is frozen to depth Of six or
eight inches and is covered with
snow to depth of a couple of inches.
The ponds in this vicinity are COW
cred with ice five or six inches thick
and our citizens have been seized
with perfect skating mania in con-
sequence.
The schooner General Harvey ar
rived this week with a cargo of coal
for citizens of this place, from the
Bellingham Bay mine. The cargo
was furnished to subscribers at 81
per ton, delivered here. This is only
about two-thirds of the price charged
for the Seattle coal.
The route has been located for a
telegraph between Portland and
Dalles City.

If Thurston county still has an opportunity to
get federal aid in extending the pavement on the
Pacific highway toward Camp Lewis, the county
commissioners, who were asleep last summer when

which they can abandon their customary proceed
ure of taking it under advsement.' Immediate

rance. If on April We had had 100000 trained
ami disciplined troops. equipped to the last but
ton We should probably have had no more men in
Franc" than We have now There has not been a
day since the declaration Of war that our soldier
power has not surpassed transport power
CoIonI Roosevelt frequently asserts that if We
had been prepared there would have been no war
To believe this is to hopeessly misconceive the
mind and purpose of the German government in
making war upon the United States From the
point Of view of the German general staff it made
no difference whether the United States had an
army of 10000 men or 1000000O men, Berlin
was confident that with ruthless submarine war
fare American troops could not be transported to
France and that Great Britain could be starved
into submission within few months The fate
OF the German empire was staked upon this
theory. Had ruthless submarine warfare been
able to accomplish what the German general staff
expected of it. all the calculations would have
been correct. The theory excellent but it
failed to work out in practice.
But ruthless submarine warfare has had almost
controlling influence upon the military activi-
ties of the United States. We have had to shape
our own policies to fix the eXigencies of the Brit
ish and French The transportation Of troops is
necessarily subordinate to the transportation of
supplies. We have had to order our own affairs
accordingly Even in the matter of artillery
about which there has been so much noise and
reverberation, the original policy of the United
States was changed to meet the wishes of the
French and it the French government which
urged the United States to French artillery
The military achievements of this country can
not be measured by the number of American
troops in France or by any of the common stand
ards of war-making. 1t may not seem heroic to
lend money to the Allies, to rush food and sup
plies to Them or to refrain at any cost to our
pride from interfering with their munitions ar
rangements here, or even to build numbering
tankers and freight ships, or to hold back
soldiers while we send coal and steel billets to
France; but that happens to be the only way in
which this war can be won.
A great many Americans thought when the
United States declared that state of war existed
with Germany that it was all over and that moth
ing remained but to write the terms upon which
the German empire would be permitted to exist.
Time has shown that it was not quite so simple as
that, and so there is widespread impotence which
comes from the lack of general understanding
Of the problem and the means that must be taken
to solve it. In no place, perhaps, is there more
impotence or more ignorance than in congress-
If there had been less censorship the country
might have been better informed but it is not too
late to give the needed information, and nobody
else is SO well qualified to conduct campaign of
