POINCAIRE'S MESSAGE TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Monday, Dec. 81, our state depart
ment received the following cable
gram from M. Poincaire, president of
the French republic:
"As the year 1917 closes, look
back with emotion to the months just
elapsed and to the successive phases
of the world struggle and In partic-
ular to the entrance of the United
States into the war.
Champions Of common cause,
the American people and the French
people, whom a fraternity of arms
has united in the past, whom it is
binding still more closely today, con-
template with unshakable firmness
and with the serene consciousness of
their duty, the liberating task that
they have sworn to accomplish to
the end. The year 1918 will see the
continuation of the sublime effort OF
the free nations, grouped for the de-
tense of honor and Of the pledged
word, for the safeguarding of all
netherlands, great or small, against
the powers of imperialism and autoc-
racy, whose avowed design it is t.
dispose of peoples just as they have
led them to death-without consulting
them.
"'Tis the afar~off voice of Washing
ton that resounds still, at the thesh-
old of the new year, as in the heroic
hours of yore. and the echoes OF
which are repealed throughout the
glorious American Union. France,
too, hears it. The illustrious Amer
lean statesman shows US the path to
triumph through sacrifice and, like
his eminent successor, President Will
son, seems to say to the nations unit
ed for the salvation of humanity,

SHORTAGE OF
SHIP CRAFTSMEN

Washington, Jan. 4.--There are not
enough ship craftsmen in the United
States to do the drafting work need
ed to carry out the naval and merch-
ant ship-building program. Our coun-
try. is engaged in the execution of
the greatest warship construction
plan in history, comprising 787 ves-
sells, including all types from super
dreadnaughts to submarine chasers.
Naval appropriations aggregating
nearly two billions of dollars have
been made since August, 1916.
Coincident with the demand for in
creased naval work ther is an equally
urgent call for an increase of merch-
ant ship construction. 1t is betraying
no secret to say that In both branches
there is shortage of technical men
available for the work.
The United States Civil Service
Commission is endeavoring to relieve
| the dearth of ship craftsmen by rec
ommending to the heads of colleges
and technical school that senior stud
ents in engineering courses be given
| intensive training in naval architec-
ture during the coming spring, with
| & view to making them. available for
employment as ship craftsmen in
| June. The commission is also re-
ceiving applications from qualified
architectural, mechanical, and struc-
tural steel craftsmen, and is certify
ling them for employment in the navy
department and in navy yards on ship
/ work
Local boards of civil service exam
iners at the post Office in all of the
larger cities are furnishing detailed
information and application blanks
Applicants are not required TO ap.
pear in an examination room for 9
written examination, but are rated
upon their education, training and
Experience.

TOMMY LIKES TO HAVE
HIS PICTURE TAKEN

Behind The Lines in France Cor
resepondence of Associated Press. ~
One of the fiourishing trades in the
little towns and villages behind the
line in France is the photographers.
The soldier has universal fondness
for having his picture taken.
With the British Tommy, the visit
to the village camera man is reg
ular event of the greatest Importance,
and requires great preparations. He
borrows the best pair Of puttees IN
his section, on, better still, pair Of
feld-service boots, brushes his clothes
with great care, cleans his belt ana
bandolier, and polishes his buttons.
IF he belongs to mounted corps,
his spurs and cutting whip will make
great display, for although every
body agrees that in this war the in
fantry is the most Important branch,
there is still glamor attaching t.
the mounted man, even If his mount
lie only a cart horse or mule. Eques-
brian portraits are much-in demand,
It is said, by the girls at home.
AS often as not, Tommy gets pho~
tographed in a group with four or
FIVE men from his section. For one
thing, this is cheaper. For another,
it supplies a testimonial of the good
company he Keeps, and of the fine
fellows that his section always the
s'fnest in the army is composed Of.
Thousands of these photographs
are sent every day from France to
England. The officers whose busi-
ness it il to censor Private Atkins
correspondence gets very tired OF
seeing that noble hero's countenance
enclosed in every letter he sends for
weeks after the event, and the num-
Der of feminine admirers entitled to
copies of the Photographic artists
production seems to be unlimited.
The prevalence of the group pho
tograph leads to many romantic de-
velopments. Some "girl friend" of
the recipient admires ''the good
looking lance corporal next to you,
Tom" and new correspondence
starts UP under the fatherly eye Of
the censorship officer.

SINGLE MEN MUST
Do THE SCRAPP|NG
Battle Line, Says Provost Marshal
General Crowder. is No Place
for Benedicts
(Associated Press)

Washington, Jan. ALI men for
the war armies still to be raised by
the United States will come from
class 1 under the new selective service
plan. That means the nations fight
ing is to be done by young men with
out families dependent upon their la
Dor for support and unskilled in nee
essary industrial or agricultural
work.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announces the new policy in an ex-
i1austfve report upon the operation of
the seleetive draft law submitted
yesterday to Secretary Baker and
sent to Congress. He says class 1
should provide men for all military
needs of the country and to accom-
plish that object he urges amendment
of the draft law SO as to provide that
all men who have reached their twen-
ty-first birthdays since June 5, 1917,
shall be required to register for clas-
sification. Also in the interest of fair
distribution of the military burden,
he proposes that the quotas of states
or districts be determined hereafter
on the basis of the number of men in
class and not upon population.
Available figures indicate, the re-
port says, that there are 1000, 900
physically and otherwise qualified
men under the present regulation
who will be found in class when all
questionnaires have been returned
and the classification period ends
February Is. To this the extension
of registration to men turning 21
since june of last year and there
after will add 100000 effective men

PROTECTION IN PRICE
ON MILL FEEDS

I All users of feed such as shorts,
standard middlings, mixed feeds,
-four middlings, BRAN" ETC., which
come under the common term of mill
feeds, are now protected as to price
/ by a recent ruling of the United
States food administration, which
went into effect on the 25th of Decem-
her.
Mr.. Braxton Beachanl, food admin
istrator for Florida, calls special at
tention of the people of this state TO
this ruling, and wishes them to be
sure that retail prices charged ark
not unreasonable. The action of the
J food administration should work
benefit in prices to the consumer, as
the mills have been limited to a GER
tain charge on feeds of the kind men
tibned, and the limitations extend to
the wholesale dealer and the licensed
retail dealer, so that no extortionate
charge can be made or maintained.
Millers are required to use not
more than 264 pounds of wheat Of
So pounds to the bushel in making
1876 pounds of 100 per cent flour. Mil
lers. can remove ) per cent of the
-four so milled. and sell the part re-
moved as a lower grade -four, but the
95 per cent can not be further sep
arated or divided, and none Of the
fours can be sold or mixed as feed.
While the manufacturers are al
lowed range Of prices that will al
low competition, they are not allowed
to exceed Is cents per barrel at the
mills, and differential charges are
also fixed so that complete tsabiliza-,
ton is secured.
Manufacturers are also held to OBJ
servance Of prices which shall not
exceed SO per cent OF the cost per
ton of wheat delivered at the mill,
and the price must average with the
previous months cost. Dealers and
manufacturers are held to observance
of rulings regarding differentials for
certain kinds of packages and sacks,
/ including wooden barrels, jute and
cotton sacks. and paper bags.
Food Administrator Beacham en-
phasizes the fact that the new order
win no doubt result in lower prices
for the feeds mentioned, and consum
ers can expect to see some reduction
in the near future
The rulings referring TO the sub
ject have been made part of the
general food regulations, and all
dealers who are not entirely familiar
with them should at once communi-
cate with the> milling division at
Washington for detailed instructions.
