SAM RICE ENLISTS
NNAW WHENHE
FACES WAR DRILL
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


Sam Rice. the Griffmen's only 800
batsmau. has enlisted as an able sea
man at the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing School, and will not be with the
Washington club this season. This
is the first hard blow Manager Grif-
nth has received from the military
draft
Rice escaped the irst call by some
unknown means, and managed to
complete the 1917 campaign, hittfn g
for 800. He was expected to better
that mark this season.
With the new form OF draft. how
ever, Rice was placed in Class IA,
and, rather than be ordered 10 join
the national army, he enlisted in the
navy. He had served in it during the
Mexican mixup, being in the party OF
sailors and marines going ashore at
Vera Cruz with machine guns.

The passing OF Rice gives Merito
Acosts his FIRST real chance with the
fits better In right field than any
where else in the garden. First IT
was Moeller and then Rice who pre-
vented the Cuban from holding down
the right bower for any length of
time. AoeIler has gone and now Rice
is in the navy. The Griffmeu are left
with but three Outfelders, not count
ing Shanks, and so Acosta is assured
Of a real trial this spring.

MorEan's salary has been hit a wal
lop right on the old beak Three
years OF wartime money has given the
Baltimore youth a certain idea Of
his worth. Needless to say, this idea
IL not shared by Manager Griffith.

NEEDS OF BATTLE PLANE

After three years of warfare the
total number of airplants able tc
take the air at any one time on
either side of the western front has
not been over $500 Each plane in
the air requires a force of 46 men,
two replacement planes on the
ground, and one training plane for
every pilot who eventually reach S
the front, with an extra engine for
each plane.
The life of a plane is not more
than two months, and the engine
must be overhauled after each 70
hours Now that American battle
planes are going overseas, the great
problem is to secure the thousands
of skilled mechanics, engine men, mo-
tor repair men, wood and metal
workers needed to keep the planes

The National War Savings Com

development of the savings cam

= The 100000 a day now flowing
into the Treasury from the small
savings of the people indicate what
u. great ISSSINe tuS bo'Si AaifS"'S

gency.
For the business of war the ma
ton has need each day for the la
products of millions of citizens
in agriculture, mining, manu-
featuring and transportation. Money
alone will not command these nee
ossities Of War.
But as the people reduce their ex--
Denditures for personal comforts
and ltIX@I.es, and put their surplus
earnings into Government loans, they
transfer their buying power to the
government. Two millions day saw

Government to win the war instead

The $70,000,0OO OF spending pow '

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

OF GAS DEFENSE
The necessity for thorough and
continuous training of trooTs in gas
defense is shown by statement
proved by captured German docu
ments:
on the western front knew the Brit
ish were planning to deliver a gas
attack on German division equip.
ped with masks, but poorly trained
in their use. In spite Of the fact
that they had several days to drill
before conditions We're suitable for
the British attack, when it was fin
ally made hundreds of German cas-
ualties resulted.
Many kinds of gases are used in
modern warfare. Some merely af-
feet the eyes temporarily, and are
more inconvenient than serious.
Other gases are terrible in their
effect unless proper protection is
available. They are employed in clout
or in shells, bombs, and hand gren--
AIDES.
1t is the work of the Field Train
ing Section of the Gas Defense Ser
vice to bring home to the American
soldier the Importance of his gas
mask, to thoroughly drill him in its
use and to inspire confidence in it's
efficacy.

WOMAN'S PART IN
FOOD CONSERVATION.

= 80 NC~NOiIANf a. iOAN
We who have lived in the United
States the greater part of oul
lives, most of US all our lives, can
truthfully say we have lived in a
free country. We have live under
Government that has never made
demands Of the people. We have
msde our own laws, our policies and
plans. But the time has now come
when we must adhere to a demand
and heed the policies and plans Of
our government Thousands OF oar
young men have answered the call
ana are now in training camps or at
thA front TO protect and maintain our
freedom. Our Government is now de-
handing that We assist in the main.-
tenance and protection of these
Young men and We must and will do
1t without murmur Our supply of
food must be conserved and a great
er quantity produced. 1t must be
understood that not all classes of
food can be transported for use in
our army camps. Therefore we must
consume as little as possible of that
which can be sent. This is why
demand is made to use substitutes
Tor flour and various other demands
of the food administration. The food
control is largely in the hands Of
the women of our nation, and while,
they are doing nobly in many lines
OF work they can do a great part in
conserving food which is one of the
most important at this time.
