vent the landing Of large forces In France But
by Its foul methods Of warfare 1t has already
sunk many millions Of tons Of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up. but
we have to provide a large further tonnage to
keep sending soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
dented job of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only part of what need Later on those ships
will be necessary in bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and for
some time to come the movement is one of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back
The United States Is the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor-
nous gain in exports shows how other ma
tions are increasingly looking to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline
still the whole there is every probability of
their increasing not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas Of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many Of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all Of the win
ter-wheat producing areas Of Russia. are in the
Germans possession. Conditions In Russia are
chaotic. The western European allies produced
in 1917 about $4,000 900 bushels less than the
nual pre-war average. There was a great drop
also in the wheat production OF other European
countries. Argentina Australia and India
producing good crops But there Ii no shipping
to move It properly.
While the war is on there is a big enough de-
mand from our allies in Europe for materials Of
all kinds. We have to supply coal. steel. OIL cot
ton, lumber. rails, locomotives and a great guam
tity of other products. After the war when the
job of rehabiitating Europe Is put through the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac-
tured material of all kinds will be enormous We
shall also have to replenish the depleted herds of
Europe from our own cattle. Ours. in fact, will
be the task of supplying most Of the world.
So II Is clear that besides the millions Of tons Of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy.
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma
rine, In 1914 only $188, 100000 Of the more than
50 900 900 900 of our exports carried in Ameri
can vessels. Even a great part Of the cargo
and passenger ships using ore seized enemy
vessels or requisitioned chartered allied or
neutral vessels.
Not only on the Atlantic but on all oceans We
u,ust have an abundance Of American ships.
SINCE the opening Of the Panama canal. the At
iartic and Pacific oceans have been linked BY the

The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-07-25

The Stage Woman's War Relief is
= large charity with many branches.
Among Its activities Is a committee
which has charge of the making Of
wind.proof vests for aviators and 9TH
er fighting men who find It difficult
to dress SO as to keep warm. These
vests are made Of old gloves and pieces
OF leather and are warmer than
sweaters. It is said they are a great
protection against "beasties" that are
sure to assault the soldier. Gusts OF
wind cannot get by them.
Everyone who has old kid gloves to
spare should contribute them to the
army or learn how to make the vests.
The Stage Woman's War Relief has a
large light loft, installed with electric
sewing machines. where the vests are
made. Many Of the gloves are sent
in already cleaned-and this Is a great
help-others are sent to the cleaner.
Then they are cut to form fiat pieces
of leather These are matched up for
size and color. After they have been
pressed out they are basted together
and stitched on paper patterns.
The reverse side of the vest Is made
of canton flannel or other cloth. pro-
vided with a practical and rOOmy
pocket and then the vest Is neatly
bound with braid. Leather book COW
ers and leather postcards can be used
in these vests. as well as gloves, and
some interesting-not to say amusing
vests result from the use of these.
Any sort of usable leather may be
cOmmandeered for this purpose-pil-

and contributions are dOubly welcome

1t is easy to understand that better

the pieces can be matched up. than

! The problems of the makers of cor
sets are many and difficult, but the cor
sets of today are marvels Of skfllful
designing. In the first place those who
create corset styles must understand
thoroughly the various types of figures
and they must undertake to make each
one of them shapely without the sac
fif,ce of comfort. This Is not at all
easy: for the to0-slender woman must
be given pretty curves and the fat
woman must have hers sm00thed out.
Besides, women demand corsets that
are light in weight and have few bones
or steels. Fashion DEGREES that wom-

they look uncorseted when they are
dressed, The contour Of the figure
must conform to beautiful lines.
The new corsets are made OF nrm
but very flexible materials and with
the fewest possible number Of bones.
They are nearly all very low In the
bust and give perfect freedom to the
disnhragm, There are equally good
models In front and In back-laced

With food
To the appeal, 'Food will win the war;" the
American farmer has responded with splendid
results. But of course that appeal has Its quail
dcauons. One proviso Is that food will go a
long way toward insuring victory If we have
plenty of ships to convey 1t where 1t is needed.
Great fleets Of ships have been or are being ere
atsd by the United States shipping board. They
are being produced at record pace But to
carry out our vast necessary shipping program
with the fullest adequacy 1t is vital that the
earnest interest Of every part Of our great coun-
try should be INCREASINGLY enlisted.
Par away from the seaboard many Of our
farms are. they Joined with the ocean to a
degree they never were before. The ships sup
plsment the plow and the harvester. Day and
night the farmer has been thinking Of how he
could make his land more productive. 1t is
subject that never leaves him. The indlca-
tions are that well has he thought it out that

True, there is always the gamble Of weather

$2,650.OOO.OOO worth Of merchandise
We need ample ships ON the Pacific to
serve China, Japan. the Philippines
Russia and Australia. All Of these countries ~
well as Central and South America, have materials
or products which need just they need ours.
Australia recently had a surplus stated to be
800 600 bushels Of wheat and another big sur
plus In process OF gathering. There was enough.
In fact, to feed England and France for year.
But it was Of practical use to the allies. There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight ten weeks from Australia to
England.
Last year there a surplus in Java Of 1000
600 tons of sugar which other parts Of the world
needing badly could not get because Of lack of
ships.
Great heaps Of coffee spelling the East
Indian whnrves There was no shipping to move
1t to other countries.
Pyrites. which was badly needed here could not
be brought from Spain because of the want Of
ships.
These but few examples OF what ship
famine means.
Besides the many millions Of tons Of shipping
needed for the purposes already described there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number Of ships. tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastwise, lake and inland waterway trans
portation. These are Of the most vital impOr-
tance to the farmer. Our inland, lake and coast
waterways be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products. and freight
of all kinds can be sent back on the return

In less than years time the accomplish

ing constantly established. The United States

Mining Engineers
Aid In War Work

New York, July 30.-Some 1000 min
ing engineers, members of the American
Institute of Mining Engineres, are shout
der to shoulder in the endeavor both to
stimulate war mineral production and to
convert minerals to the highest possible
service in the war. In an effort to in
crease the scope Of this war service, the
American Institute of Mining Engineers
will meet in Colorado during the week of
September to take up vital problems of
immediate Importance.
Mining engineers from every section of
the country will attend. During the meet
ing, trips are to be made from Colorado
Springs to the Cripple Creek district, Pu-
eblo, the Leadville district and Boulder.
The weeks session will open in Denver on
September and will that evening move to
Colorado Springs, which vii be the prin-
cipal headquarters for the duration of
the meeting.
This is the first assembly of the entire
institute in Colorado since 1895. and an
appropriate entertainment program, plan
ned by the seven hundred Colorado mem
bers, will include an automobile drive to
the top of Pixies Peak.
The sections of Colorado to be visited
are rich in many war minerals Of impor-
tanca, including Ferro Apdys, radium,
molybdenite ores and pyr ties.
