BUYER FOR U. 8.
ARMY TELLS OF TASK OF
SUPPLYING CLOTHES

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Captain T.
w. Van Schoiach, who is one of the
Ii men in the United States charged
with the responsibility of buying
clothing for the entire American ar
my, is in the city on short visit.
He has been i'll and is on sick leave.
He is from st. Louis and before the
war was successful manufacturer
there, and vice chairman of the city
chamber of commerce.
Captain Van Schoiach, at the be.
ginning of the war, was placed in
charge of one of the Is districts into
which the country was divided, with
headquarters at st. Louis. His dis
trict includes the states of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Arkansas and the southern half of il.
linois. When he first took over this
territory there were only two factor
les in the territory making cloth
available for soldiers uniforms. How
the manufacturers have periodically
converted their plants so as to be
able to handle government orders,
and how thew threw aside businesses
built up by. years of work to devote
their entire output to military needs
furnishes one of the noblest chapters
of the war.
in place of the original two there
are now 2S5 factories turning out
government work In each case this
meant scrapping thousands of dollars
worth of machinery and installing
new equipment in its place, with III
assurance that the owners would re
ceive subsequent orders which would
make the change good business.
Yet this transformation has been vol
UNFAIRLY done, and the captain is very
warm in praise of the patriotism o.
the manufacturers of his district.
The first quota assigned to his dis
trict called for 25O,OOO uniforms; the
last for $500, 900. When the first or.
der came existing plants were able
to furnish but $4,000. The balance
was obtained from factories which
were rapidly converted into cloth fac.
tories. AS an indication of >5e com
pleteness of the transformation of the
country to a war basic the captain

Jacksonville, Oct 3d. Special
Prominent Protestant ministers from
all parts of Florida met here in Con-
ference today in order to learn how
they could best serve in the coming
United War Work Campaign and IN
Ianimously passed resolution pledg-
ing themselves and their churches
to take the lead in making the Cam
paign for the seven recognized War
Agencies an unqualified success and
urging upon all other churches in the
State to take the same stand with
them.
At the Conference today, DR.. w.
w. Alexander of Atlanta outlined the
events which led up to the uniting Of
all organizations concerned in well
fare for soldiers and sailors actiyi-
ties as one United Drive at the sug-
gestion of President Wilson. An In
spirational address was given by DR..
+, E. Ashby Jones of the Ponce de Leon
Baptist Church, Atlanta, followed by
full and frank discussion of all the
problems relating to the Campaign
which opens November 18th and con-
tinues until November 18th. Fol-
lowing this discussion, the Protestant
ministers assembled, passed this I'M
animous resolution:
! First That the President having
emphasized the fact that the seven
different agencies, by his request, en-
gagged in this war work are in no
way "surrendering their distinctive
character and autonomy; we with
this understanding and conviction
give to this Campaign not only our
endorsement but hearty and energet-
ic support.
Second: That it is the unanimous
sentiment of all persons present that
this effort deserves and should have
the loyal support of the people Of
Florida
Third: Believing that our churches
should take the lead in making it an
unqualified success, we urge upon all
our Churches the most earnest sup
port of the Campaign to be made
November 18th to 18th, to provide the
necessary funds.
Fourth: In view Of the enormous
increase of the Army and Navy over
seas since this budget was compiled,
we respectfully urge a large over
subscription.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN WARTIME

When the United States entered
the world war the government at once
began TO organize it's camera men.
The methods employed by European
armies were copied and improved up
on. Work was commenced at Wash
ington on a great Photographic lab
atory directed by expert photograph
ers who had been commissioned Off
GERS
From the selective draft some hun
bred photographers were picked to
assist in the work. This laboratory
said to be the most complete in the
world-will serve as the base of pho
Geographic operations of the army and
navy.
Experienced war photographers &C.
company the troops and fleets abroad
says Boys Life, the boy scouts mag
azine.
Perhaps the greatest service of the
camera in warfare is in preparing
absolutely accurate maps of the enc
mys operations. The camera has
made it impossible for the enemy to
make great surprise attack.
The lens, unlike the human eye,
never gets excited, but records its
impressions with absolute accuracy.
Carried aloft in aeroplanes, the cam.
era makes detailed pictures of every
fort, trench and the locations of the
troops. These pictures are matched
together in continuous photograph
ic map Of the entire battle line.
The modern general does not lead
position, he pores over a photograph
ic map and directs battle like a
game of chess. His camera squads
meanwhile look directly down upon
the enemy with thousand eyes.

STUDY OF GERMAN
SHOWS BIG DECREASE

St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. GA year
ago, approximately $1,000 students
were studying German in the public
sch ools of Minnesota. Official sta
tistics, indicate that less than 1900
will be taught this language when
the schools open in the fall.
In many schools, Spanish and
French have supplanted German, but
it is pointed out today by P. c. Ton
ming, assistant superintendent of edu-
cation, that scarcity Of efficient
teachers will probably make it i'm
possible to introduce these languages
in all Of the high schools of the state
this fall.
Reports received by the state de-
partment Of education, show that a
majority of the schools have discon-
tinued the study of German. In some
cases, however, students who have
studied German for, one or two years
obtained permission to complete this
course in order to obtain their full
,credits;.S' 49,. =. .,u

P0STMASTERS LOSE s.:
FEE FOR ENLISTMENTS
(Special to Pioneer.)


Minneapolis, Aug. 6.-Word was
recently received from the office of
the adjutant general at Washington
by Major John D. Yost, recruiting
officer for the Minnesota district, to
the effect that the order authorizing
the payment of five dollars to post
masters for all accepted army re-
cruits secured by them, has been re-
scinded. This affects second, third
and fourth class postmasters which
includes practically 80 per cent OF
the offices in the state.
The five-do1lar fee for postmasters
has not been an especially big in
centive to the men in this state to
increase their recruiting activity. In
many cases the fee has been return
ed the government, and any number
of postmasters have turned the
amount over to the recruits they
secured to spend on their way to
camp. Major Yost states, that he
does not think a postmaster in the
state will relax his efforts to secure
army recruits because Of the change,
and is counting on the same hearty
cooperation of postmasters in the
future that he has had in the past.

The. correspondent states one of
the drivers was from Minneapolis and
the other from Bemidji.
The Pioneer heard of the accident
from the local end and it was to the
effect that he drew over to allow half
the road for the car coming toward
but that the other driver, who sim

EXPERIMENTAL
WORK ON peat
LANDATIRACl
MANY FARMERS
Beltrami County Well Repre-

Day in Marshall County.
PLOTS ARE LAID OUT
& g.. IN THREE SOIL TYPES
Results of Peat Land Treat
ment Exceeds Expectations;
y Work to Be Continued.

Support of investigational work
with peat land received great impetus
at the first annual visiting day of the
Northwest Peat Experimental farm
located at Golden Valley in eastern
Marshall county, when 700 farmers
from Marshall bennington, Roseau,
Kittson, Red Lake, Clearwater and
Beltrami counties joined the visitors
from. Duluth and Minneapolis, as well
as the experiment + station staff at
Crookston, in inspecting the first peat
experimental farm in Minnesota. The
plots are laid out on three soil types,
first on mineral land. second, on un-
burned peat land, and third on burn
ed peat land. The unburned peat land
was treated with manure and diff
ferent kinds of fertilizer. The acid
phosphate treatment gave profitable
results from applying $500 worth of
fertilizer per acre which would con-
tihue its effect for three years, max
ing a cost of $1.53 a year which will
be reduced to 81 year when peace
time prices return.

Optimism Prevails.
The feeling of optimism prevailed
at the meeting as the results of the
various treatments on the peat land
exceeded expectations. The expert
ment includes the following crops on
peat soil different prepared: Wheat,
spring rye, barley, oats, field peas,
flax, potatoes, rutabagas, rape, alfa1-
ia, sweet clover, broom grass, west
e. rn rye grass, mixture Of red clOv-
er, red top and timothy, and mix
ture of alsike clover, red top and
timothy.
This work will be continued for a
series of years. Cooperative demon
strations will 7be arranged with far
mers in northwestern Minnesota
counties who have peat land which
will bring the facts determined at the
Golden Valley station home to the
various communities.
