FACE SHORTAGE
OF TEACHERS

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Faced by pros
poets OF an increasing demand for and
diminishing supply of school teachers
Tor 1888, the employment service
OF the federal department of labor is
sending to every state superintendent
OF education in the country question
ARE seeking accurate information as
to the number of teachers available
Tor next year and possible sources Of
supply for vacancies.
The Chicago branch of the service
has let it be known that the greatest
difficulty thus far has been in obtain
ing instructors for high schools, the
greater part OF whose teaching forces
have hitherto been composed of young
men. Numbers of these instructors
have been called to the national army
or have enlisted. The many special
services which the government has
been organizing have also drawn heav-
lily on this class of teachers, and on
senior college students from among
whom are usually recruited the annual
additions to the school staffs.
Educational authorities have view
cd with some concern the growing in
roads on their profession which the
war is making. They have, in many
instances, started organized efforts to
ill the gaps in their ranks and have
emphasized the Importance OF main
teining high standards of instruction
in the public schools. In this connec-
ten Mary G. c. Bradford of Denver,
president Of the National Education
Association, has addressed an appeal
to the teachers of the country In
which she said, in part
The school teachers of the United
States arc hereby called to the colors
Of the American Republic. The schools
are the laboratory of good citizenship.
The children are little citizens and
must be guided in such present expert
cnces as will make certain their future
dedication to the welfare of the Repub-
lie. The Junior Membership of the
Red Cross, through the school auXili-
airy, offers an indispensable medium
through which the patriotic activities
ot the children can make themselves
felt Beginning with Lincoln's birth
cay and lasting until Washington S
birthday nationwide effort is 10 be
made in behalf of increasing the Jun
ior Membership.
THE National Education Associa-
tion offers every teacher in the land
the privilege of participation in this
great campaign. The school organiza-
ton of each state needs your help in
this form OF character education.

senting the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill.
The chairmans assertion was in
connection with his discussion of Col.
Houses mission to Great Britain and
France and was made in the course of
an outline given the house of the state
departments war activities. AS the
result of the work of the mission, Mr..
Flood said, "a complete understand
ing exists of precisely what the allies
need from this country and exactly
what this country can furnish and
when and how" Under the secre-
taries of state, war and navy, he de-
clared, the country will furnish more

SWITZERLAND IS REFUGE
OF INTERNED WARRIORS

PARIS, Jan. q (by maiD There
were 24,136 invalided soldiers of war
ring nations interned in Switzerland
on October 81, 1917, according to a re-
port of the Swiss federal council OF
these, 1876 were French, 1922 Bel
gians, 964 English, 1884 Germans, 228
Austrians, and 142 Hungarians These
figures do not include 4,746 informed
persons who were returned to their
native countries in accordance with
agreements concluded between com
batants through the intermediary of
Switzerland in 1917.
An interesting account of the negoti-
ations leading to the repatriation of
wounded soldiers is contained in the
first report of Major Edward Favre
of the internment service of the Swiss
army, which has just made its appear
ance. The question of an exchange
of wounded prisoners was taken up,
the report says, in the first months of
the war but almost insurmountable diff
the belligerents feared to risk releas-
ing these prisoners, who, while unable
to resume their positions on the front,
might be used in occupations which
would free other modified men for
oomhafaut Sorvipn
Following a conversation which he
had in Paris with NJ. Millerand min
lister of war, Gustave Ador, president
of the International Red Cross COM
mittee, proposed to NJ. Hoffman, then
head of the Swiss foreign office, that
it would be possible to intern the
wounded soldiers in Switzerland. The
Swiss federal council received this
suggestion favorably and the greater
part of 1915 was spent in negotiations
between Switzerland and the warning
powers.
In December, 1915, an agreement was
| finally concluded between Switzerland,
France and Germany England and
Belgium later joined in. The first
repatriates began to arrive in Switzer'
land early in 1916. They were mostly
soldiers afflicted with tuberculosis.
It was necessary to find useful oc
equations for those who were able to
work and to teach new tades to those
whose injuries prevented them from
returning to their ante-war occupa
lions. Professional men were assisted
in continuing their studies. The prob

Food administration must be based
upon selfsacrifice of somebody some
where; the vast majority of our peo-
pie will accept it willingly and with
pride as contribution that they have
made in the national cause. Food
saving is in its essence the daily in
dividual service of all the people.
Every group can substitute, and even
the great majority of thrifty people
can save little-and the more luxur-
ious elements of the population can,
by reduction to simple living, save
much. This means no more than that
we should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-03-13

We thought we had gotten by the
stage where starvation could ensue
within civilization, yet literally hun
dreds OF thousands of persons have
starved to death in the last three years
due to the world food shortage and
other conditions brought about by the
war.
A large part of the world is coming
into the position that Belgium is in
and has been in; coming to the stage
where the primary and important
thing In life is enough food to keep
alive.
The food supply of the world is
short and getting shorter, You can
not take eighteen million men out of
production and put them into destruc-
ton 81 human products and expect
things to go on as before.

BELGIUM

(By David Starr Jordan)
Land OF long days of happiness.
OF pale gray skies and windmiIls
tall
Wide is the world. and thou art
small
But yet we love thee none the less.
Land of sweet bells and faith serene.
OF solemn sunset calls to prayer
Brooding above the darkened air
(But sweet bells jangle at Malines).
By fair Liege, whose storied dead
Sleep in her great cathedraTs nave.
The Mouse rolls on, with glittering
wave
Uo! her green current turns to red)
At Bruges the belfry tells his tale
Of days when ugliness was crime.
And bids us bark the ancient
chime
Il only hear a child's low waiD.
Namur o'erlooks fair lands outspread
Where hamlets of Brabant are seen
Standing knee-deeB in meadows
green
tSoft-'tis new-made grave you
tread.
At Client the great bell Roland tolls
Where through six centuries long
the tower
Has summoned freemen to their
cit mourns thousand passing souls)
And old LOuvain, Louvain the wise,
Hugs to her breast the precious store
Foregathered of our ancient lore
(But hungry flames fill all her skies).
And Ostend, by the gray North Sea,
Dreams of her ancient hardihood;
"a sea more grim, of steel and blood,
Surges behind her ceaselessly).
Howe'er the tide of battle roll,
There bides what none can burn or
raze-
The Flemish spirit of old days,
The Ageless freedom of the coul.
Land of long days of frightfulness,
For faith and honor cruicified,
Though thou are small, and earth is
wide,
We still shall love thee none the less.

Russia collapsed not because of the
Germans on her border but largely
because OF the failure to organize and
feed her own citizens; and if we are
to emerge victorious from this war,
we can not risk the collapse of an
other Of our associates in the war from
this same cause. There is no waste
of food across the water; there is the
most drastic reduction in consump-
ton; there is actual priyation among
women and children; there is starva-
tion in Belgium.

Every particle of diminished con-
sumption by the American people IS
one particle more for the soldiers the

personal obligation upon every one of

will suffer privation to the extent of
our individual negligence.

have also been difficult ones, but all
are being solved, and new ways and

For the least bit of heedIessness on
your part in food conservation. some
one somewhere in the world must
suffer privation. The food admins
tration has mastered the problem of
Americas food in such a way that
every ounce of food conserved and
kept in the currents of trade goes to
an empty stomach in Europe.

The wheat we export from now on
will be the direct amount that the peo-
pie save out of their bread, for we
have shipped our surplus. This means
literally that everyone who saves a
slice of bread is giving slice of bread
to our allies.

There is no waste of food among
the allies. If you will read the Eng

thirty days for throwing away half a

away two pies was sent to prison for
six months.

Let us remember that every flag
that flies opposite the German one is
by proxy the American flag, and that
the armies fighting in our defense un-
der these flags cannot be maintained
through this winter unless there is
food enough for them and for their
women and children at home. There
can only be enough food if America
provides it. And America can only
provide it by the personal service and
patriotic cooperation of all of us.
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-03-13

1t is an absolute sin to waste food
Food has become sacred. Food means
life; it means somebody's life: and
you cannot escape responsibility.
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-03-13

Let us remember that our associates
in the great world war depend upon
America for food as they have never
depended before, and they ask us for it
with right which they have never
had before. Today they are our COM
panions in a great war for democracy
and liberty. They are doing the fight
ing, the suffering, and dying in our
war and will be carrying this burden
for months to come.
