The Home Defense Chaos.
From sh. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

bout . WEEK ago a news dispatch from
South Dakota contained the statement
that about four grain elevators a day We're
being destroyed by fire in the Dakota
and Minnesota. Whenever a horrible re-
s,oit OF ,his kim is exaggerated, it would
tie humane if the committee on public in
formation would throw light upon the
facts. Meanwhile. the public must accept
what il hears. IL is needless to refrarse
the serious depredations made in dastardly
attacks upon the United States through
the destruction of food. munitions and
other war supplies. or to stress again the
crying Need of effective counter measures.
Certain phases of the problem of conserv-
ing the sinews of war against enemy de-
stluction were dealt with in the presi-
dents recent proclamation. and nov there
seem TO be gradually emerging plans for
making that proclamation effective. Sc
far federal troops, policemen, agents OF
the department of justice and probably
Of the treasury, state militia and home
guards, governors, mayors. United States
marsh;ls and district attorneys. seem 10
