the head of Red Cross truck farming,
he says that his figures, collected from
many hospital truck farms, all estab-
lished since early in the summer Of
1918, show this section of the Red
Cross to be nearer self-supporting than
any other-in that the Army would
otherwise be forced to buy these vege-
tables.
X X
The army still buys much truck in
the open market, as fact and the
object of this great movement is now
primarily to make the Army as near
to self-supporting as possible for fresh
vegetables.
Yes. primarily, but a still grander
object looms up.
Isn't it really grand? No. army in
the world dreamed of such a thing be-
fore-except when French and British
soldiers helped out the harvesters.
The Huns, when they got hungry in
Belgium, made agricultural slaves Of
ferent.
What! Soldiers farm the battlefield
turned farmers? The buddies can do
anything. A gun in one hand, a spade
in the other The fighting finished,
diers will be in Europe long after hos
tilities. What about Germany? What
about Russia? What about bleeding
Belgium? A glorious privilege awaits
the boys. Let them have their dinner
with it!
The Army started 1t with quarter
master truck farms.
1t began like this: The Army got
all produce Of hospital truck farms
for nothing. The stuff is turned over
by the Red Cross, along with the seed,
the travelling men and most of the
personnel, in the general line of sup
plement. The Army furnished (and
continues to furnish) convalescent
soldiers-that being the main original
idea.
All this continued to increase in
hospital areas.

The Army saw that it was good.

Status of the Thousands Of War Workers Uncle Sans Payroll

7@HERE are upwards Of ninety
i've thousand persons now en-
i ployed in the federal civil serv-
ice In the District Of Columbia,
and a large part of these are
wondering what is to happen to their
Jobs now that the war has practically
ended. A considerable number of war
workers came to Washington at some
personal sacrifice to contribute their
part toward the great undertaking.
These patriots are less concerned
about holding their positions than
they are in determining how soon
they may conscientiously return to
their homes and take up their normal
duties. To those, however, who have
recently entered the civil service as
a means of livelihood. and who desire
to stay, an explanation Of the status
OF the great number of civilian en-
ployes now in Washington and dis
cussion Of the probability of their
retention in office may prove Of in
terest.
1t stands to reason that the gov
eminent cannot employ indefinitely
as many as nonety-ttye tneu...nd
WOIhCE0 al LILO CITY Va w
1t is equally certain that never again
can the normal business of the gov
eminent in Washington be conducted
by the pre-war force of approximate
ly thirty-fve thousand employees. At
least forty-flve thousand will prob
ably be needed.
Reductions in personnel will begin
at once. but they will be gradual. and
will extend over a period Of many
months Voluntary designations will
partially meet the necessary reduc-
tions. During the three months end
ing November Is not less than
twelve thousand persons separated
from the government service in Wash
1ngton by voluntary resignation.
Their places had to be filled to keep
the war machinery moving. Under
present conditions, when vacancies
thus occur. most Of them will not
be filled.
1t is a matter Of utter impossibility
for the government to return to the
conditions that existed before the
war. The naval construction program

Are we lighting this war merely
TO crush the power Of cOterie OF
mad-men whose hearts are beating
in unison with the cruelty and
treachery of medievalism. and whose
standards Of life are those of Fred
erick the Great!
rs it alone the object of this
war to demonstrate that the feudal
spirit of the eighteenth century was
wrong? Are we fighting merely to
prove the failacy OF autocracy? No,
we are lighting this war for a de-
mOcracy that shall reach down and
take root in the heart of every citi-
zen in every country.
There is no such a thing as Il
democracy that is not universal any
more than there is an autocTacy that
is tolerant.
These things are to be the fruits
of this war. And into this order of
life the universal practice OF thrift
must come, for thrift is the very es-
sence of democracy itself.
Thrift is upbuilding and con-
structive- essentials without which
no true republjcanism can perma-
nently endure. These are the les
sons we must learn from the great
text book of passing history. Unless
we rise to these newer ideals-unless
we catch the sweep of this new spirit
of brotherhood-unle we perceive
the necessity of intelligent thrift in
this new and brighter day ahead
we are far out of step with the
times.
