Henry Ach's Bright Idea
for Getting Work Out
Of Prisoners.

En- Route for Over There, Sept.
7.-Henry Ach, far-famed San Fran
cisco lawyer, has a billion-dollar
scheme TO make the Germans feed
all the allies that seems to be q
pippin of the golden variety, to
hear him tell It
There Is no more patriotic Amer
lean than Henry Ach, although he
has been fighting the United States
government for years as counsel
for private and corporate interests
in the great oil cases of California.
He has given to the great cause
his only boy, Second Lieut.. James
l. Ach, from whom he had parted,
perhaps forever. the previous day;
and he himself is full of fervor to
go across when physically ft.
Henry Ach launched into his BILL
non-dollar scheme thusly:
What an empire of fruitfulness
could be made Of California and
Nevada during this war If hun
dreds Of thousands of laborers were
available.
We have the water for irriga-
tion and in these two States are
thousands of square miles of arid
or semi-arid land.
what's Mere Billionf
Men and money. both in large
quantity. could convert those lands
into a harvest field that would feed
France and Great Britain. as we'll as
our own country.
AS to the money-phfut-Wh
IL the project was to cost billion
dollars? Our ideas have expanded
so. tremendously the last eighteen
months that a billion dollars is now
a little. An extra billion added to
the next liberty loan would do II.
And who would know the differ
ence? 1t would be raised without
question.
The money part would be easy
enough. But the men-half a mil
lion laboring men, perhaps more.
there's the rub. What could be
done toward furnishing the requis-
lite vast. amount of labor?
Make the Germans do 1t, my boy.
That's the winning ticket Make the
Germans do the work for us-free,
gratis and for nothing.
How? Why, it's as easy as fatten-
ing a hog on sugar beets.
Let all the allies send all their
prisoners Of war over here by the
shipload and IL the U-boats should
submarine few ships so loaded, we
should worry.
why its so simple that there is
nothing to II. Think Of il. All the
labor needed for agricultural and
reclamation projects on a vast scale
for the duration of the war. In half
a dozen years the development of
half century could be accomplished
and the entire nation would be
benefited tremendously thereby"
