N
AD American Navy Commander
To His Officers oDd EIisted MeD

Vice-Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
recently issued letters to the officers
and men in the United States Naval
Forces operating under his COM
mand in French waters. That ad-
dress to the enlisted men follows
and it should be read with just
pride by all Americans:
We are guests in the house of
of another people. Our home will
be JUDGED by our conduct in theirs.
Every great nation in history
has stood for some one definite
idea; Greece for beauty; Rome for
law; Ireland for religion. America,
in the eyes of the world, stands
pre-emiDently for freedom and the
ideal Of manhood. We must not
shake that opinion, but do all that
we can to strengthen it.
We have come to this side of
the world to record. by the indeli-
bic imprint Of arms, our protest
against that which is brutal, wick
ed and unjust, to give expression to
that measure Of indignation stirred
in the hearts Of America by the
deeds of terror which the enemy
has written across the face Of
France. Our nation stands for
everything that is contrary to the
spirit Of arrogant power ard tyran-
ny. Let us prove that BY our lives
here.

Baker Thanks The
Officers And Men,

Washington, Nov. 16.-Secretary
Baker today formally expressed his
thanks to officers and men OF the
army in the United States for the
zeal shown in preparing for over
seas duty. Mr.. Baker expressed
confidence that the standards of
discipline and bearing will be main
tanned by the men intraining until
demobilized. The statement fol-
lows:
The signing Of the military ar
mistice enableslus to suspend the
intensive military preparation in
which the country was engaged. 1t
does not, however, signify the for
NAL end of the war, and it will
therefore be necessary for US to
keep under arms a substantial army
until we are certain just what the
military needs Of the country will
be. The men in service in the
United States will be demobilized
as rapidly as is consistent with the
needs of the Government and the
War Department is working with
the other agencies Of the Govern
ment toward a rapid re-establish-
ment Of normal business, conditions
and the restoration Of the soldiers
to their homes and occupations.
In the meantime, desire to ex-
press to the officers and soldiers
under arms in the United States the
appreciation Of the department for
their patriotic zeal and service. That
they were not called upon to 60
abroad and not PERMITTED to par
ticipate in the historic struggle in
France, leave them none the less
q part Of the great army Of our
nation and entitled to the thanks OF
the nation for their readiness to
serve. All officers and men can
rely upon the sympathy and activ-
ity Of the department in their early
return home. Both officers and
men will realize that it is their duty
to continue with the training and
work and to maintain in the high
est degree the discipline and SOL
dierly bearing which is the great
glory Of the army Of which they are
q part"

 MILL GRINDING

,Alaska's first flour mill has just been established and the machinery installed at Fairbanks, the interior metropolis, says the Seattle Times Of Nov. 10. ...r.E
 !. Weist, a prosperous and en- terprising farmer of the Panama val ley, made all his plans for this in dustry last year but owing to war conditions the mill machinery was much delayed enroute and reached Fairbanks only last month.
 Everything was prepared for it's immediate installation, however, and the plant with a daily capacity of fifty barrels of flour, already is in operation, according to messages re- ceived yesterday by J. l.. McPherson Of the Alaska Bureau of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce.
 Tn anticipation Of the operation of this mill this fall," said McPher- son, virtually all the farmers of the Panama valley this year raised more wheat than ever before. In lacr, they appreciated this new opportunity to make not only the Tanana valley, but all interior Al aska almost independent of flour supplies from the outside
 'FlOuring grains, including wheat, barley and rye, have been successfully grown in the Tanana valley for a number of years, and the farmers there now feel that they can grow enough wheat in that dis trict alone to supply flour in ample quantity for all parts of Alaska. Weist's enterprise is consequently regarded by Aaskans as a most de- sirable and vital industry"
 Better flour may be made by some of the big mills outside" :" says the Fairbanks Daily News=Min- CT of October 14, but you will be unable to make Fairbanksans be- lieve it. Anyway, homemade flour will be good enough for our peo- pie" .'.
 Weist has announced that the mill. will be operated as custom grist mill, available at all times to all the farmers, in the same way that grist millR were operated throughout the middls west in the early days,
