WOOL FOR THE ARMY.

Coming requirements of the Army
for wool look large. Besides cloth
ING for the soldiers in France and al
home, a reserve must be accumulated
sufficient to take care Of any emer-
gency
There are large stocks of manu-
featured clothing on hand adequate
for essential civilian needs, but wool
en- suits will not be cheap or plent1-
full during the coming winter season.
Wool stocks from abroad to sup
plement the domestic supply IS re
stricted by shipping conditions. The
Shipping Board states the movement
of Argentine wool will be heavier
the coming year than in any proceed
ing year. But a large portion OF the
raw wool stock in this country and
stock to be produced or imported
to January 20, 1926, will be needed for
military uses.
The war service committee of the
National Association of Wooden and
Worsted Manufacturers conferred
with the War Industries Board and
Board, War Trade Board, and Army
representatives from the Shipping
and Navy over difficulties in the wool
supply situation. The policy of the
War Industries Board is to regulate
prices and distribution when a scar
city arises due to Government de
mands.

IMPORTANT LETTER.
To All Liberty Loan Chairmen

To All Liberty Loan Chairmen;
Gentlemen;
There has been reported to us very
considerable activity by stock sales
men and promoters, principally those
representing companies whose Sc
curities are utterly worthless, in eff
forts to exchange the stocks they are
issuing for Liberty Bonds.
This practice is specifically disap
proved by the Treasury Department
and we shall be compelled to charac
terize any continuance of it as an act
unfriendly to the government.
Il any such cases come to your no.
tice, please write to me promptly,
giving name of Company issuing the
stock which is being offered, its adj
dress, name of the salesman, and Of
the officers of the company if you
can get them.
Meanwhile, we hope that you will
give wide publicity to this matter,
with view of stopping the practice
complained of wherever possible.
Very truly yours,
JAMES K. LYNCH,
Chairman.

Pershing's Boys to Have
Lots Of Soluble Coffee
To Drink on Front Line

Gen. Pershing's fighting men have
just got to have their coffee. The
War Department is sparing no effort
to see to this.
All the soluble coffee now being
manufactured in the United States is
purchased by the Quartermaster
Corps. and large sums of money are
being invested in new companies be-
ing organized. The present output is
not sufficient for the army's needs;
new plants under construction will in
sure supply adequate to meet the
demand.
Virtually all the soluble coffe now
being supplied to the army Is used
in the front-line trenches, where II
Is not always possible to have hot
water. There are times when hot
water cannot be brought UP from the
rear. and the heating OF water causes
a raising OF smoke which invites the
fire OF the enemy. Cold water nearly
always is handy in the "Yanks' can
teens. This assures the making OF
good. strong coffee. even though 1t
is cold.
Soluble coffee for the army must be
prepared so that 1t easily dissolves in
cold water. Experiments have ad-
vanced to the point where 1t will soon
be practicable to put up soluble coffee
In stick form. very similar to sticks
OF chewing gum, to be wrapped in
waterproof papers.

Belgian Boy Writes All
The Way to U. S. to Get
News of His Lost Father

Col. NJ. A. Winter. 1895 u street
northwest. has a customer who
resided in a Belgian city now in
the hands Of the enemy. The son
OF the head OF this house enlisted
in the Belgian army and Is sta
toned in the narrow strip of ter
ritory left to King Albert until
the Huns are driven out.
Col. Winter yesterday received a
letter from this son which tells its
own story concerning some of the
pathetic features involved in the
Belgians' heroic defense OF their
country. He says in part:
THE purpose of this letter Is to
ask you IL you have received any
correspondence from my father.
Dlsire Tanghe, during the war.
Since 1914'I have been away
from home to enter cur army. /
have not heard from my family
during my absence, and am anxi-
Gus to rnd out shomething about
them.
Col. Winter stated yesterday
that he: had not heard from the
young mans father.
Il know that many Belgian fam
flies are in the same predicament
as the conditions described in this
letter." said Col. Winter. 1T is
going to be a serious problem to
assemble all these scattered fam
lilies when the war is ended. and
there is no doubt many pathetic
features will be involved in this
effort"

u. S. FLEET TO UPHOLD
PEACE AFTER THE WAR

Pledges of future operation of the
great merchant fleet America is now
building, in complete amity with her
present war allies. were made yester-
day by Chairman Hurley, of the Ship
ping Board.
1T Is to be expected that enemy
propagandists should endeavor to use
this fleet as a basis for arousing dis
trust between the allies" he said.
But 1t Is unthinkable that a nation
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
other great democracies should after
the war, turn its resources against
them for trade conquests OF the very
kind which were largely instrumental
in bringing on the war.
IF our ships do not bring pros
perity to our neighbors as well as
ourselves, our own pride in the
achievement will be diminished. Our
ships will be operated after the war
upon principles which recognize
human and national rights and equi-
ties. The United States are prepar-
ing to develop transportation on their
own trade routes. without disturbing
the trade rights OF other nations"
