STILL WE MUST SAVE

The woman who wastes an ounce of
bread sins against the need of the
world" said Gypsy Smith in June.
That that is still true to-day, though
wheat be flowing into the bins and
mills in undreamed-of floods. The God
of harvests has been generous with
great gifts, but the need of the world
is greater than the harvest unless
treasure be made of every part of it.
We have given a demonstration in
sharing that will be our everlasting
praise, but that part of it is only the
first act Not only this coming year
but every year until the war ends and
a sorely stricken world gets on it's
feet again must we show the stuff we
are made of by giving until we have
not enough for ourselves unless we
save and save again. 1t is the least
we can do. Our fields are unacquaint-
ed with the harvests that so much of
Europe knows, harvests that are like
to break the heart of the world, they
are so costly. In thankfulness for
what we have missed we should study
and contrive to supply your needs with
little. that we may have much to
spare. We have not yet met the real
test, but we shall know how to meet il.

CRUISER SAN DIEGO
SUNK BY MINE
Loss OF War Ship Due In No Way
To Negligence, Verdict
Declares

Investigation has disclosed that the
armored cruiser San Diego, sunk sew
eral weeks ago off the American coast,
strucksa mine. This announcement
has been made by Secretary Daniels
This is the finding of a naval court
of inquiry. which holds that the loss of
the ship was due in no way to negli-
gence or inefficiency on the part of the
captain or crew.
AT the time of the disaster and
thereafter" said the Courts report,
1.-The conduct of the captain officers
and crew was in the highest degree
eommendable. and the remarkably
small loss of life was due to the high
state of discipline maintained on
board. =
The captain was steering a safe and
proper course at the time TO minimize
the submarine and mine dangers in
those waters. A careful inspection
watch had been maintained while last
coaling the ship to prevent the intro
duetion of any foreign matter in the
coal .bunkers. All lookouts. gun
watches, fire patrol parties, sc, as pre-
scribed by the orders for ship in con-
voy of the commander cruiser and
transport force were at their stations
and on the alert. All reasonable ana

dresses at the Firemen's Fete which
have been given at intervals of few
days. under the auspices of the Educa-
tional Propaganda of the Council of
Defense. Miss Katherine Walton,
Chairman, was delivered last evening.
On this occasion the speaker was
Mr. Ridgely P. Melvin, who gave a
stirring patriotic address of eight
minutes. taking for his subject, THE
Country's Call"
Mr.. Melvin, who was introduced by
Fire Marshal Basil, in a few happy
and well-chosen remarks, outlined the
nature of our country's call, and dwelt
upon what we are called upon to do.
He emphasized the sacrifices we are
to make. and defined some of these
sacrifices. He spoke with earnestness
and fervor, and his patriotic speech in
spired his audience to increased effort
in patriotic work.
The Educational Propaganda Com
mittee, through its chairman, has eK-
pressed appreciation for the courtesy
extended them by the firemen in per-
hitting them to have these addresses
made at the Fete. II is the subject OF
the Committee to have speeches made
at all public gatherings, meetings and
wherever and whenever opportunity
affords.
