Immense Stores Needed to Feed Men on
Transports.

An account OF how soldiers are fed
at sea is given in the daily news
paper published on a transport:
"Outside OF providing 30, 900 meals
ut sea, the mess officer OF the ship has
very little to do. Very little.
ale Is only called upon to provide,
by the regulations, 1870 different vari-
eties Of food. That's all. Ever try to
order $50 different things to cat? Yet
this 10 the authentic list.
1.-THE food needed to feed several
thousand mon at sea ranges beyond
the glutten's dreams. You get the
answer In the ship down below the
water line, where 1900 loaves OF
bread have been baked in one day,
and where you stumble over every
variety, from $4,000 pounds OF beef to
1872 900 eggs, or q compartment Of
brick Ice Q o in . i0.dcgree. above

"And II this doesn't suit, you car
bump along into 1924 pounds O.
potatoes, 7.10o pounds Of ham ant
bacon, 1900 pounds Of butter, 900
pounds Of sugar, and el,5oo pounds o

"It you can't get q meal out OF thi'

Of sausage, s,40O pounds Of sauerkraut

And this leaves out 1900 pounds q

From Near Arcadia Heights.

We certainly are needing rain very
much, and unless we get copious
showers soon, corn in many places
will be practically a failure. Early
potatoes have already been seriously
damaged, and cannot now make more
than y half crop. MEADOWS out here
hardly worth cutting, hence prospects
for the farmer are not very datteripg.
We always like to look at the CON
dition OF things from an optimistic
angle; but 1t appears to US now that
1t ~certhinly puts ones philosophy to
a pretty hard strain to do this,.in the
face of all that confronts us.
Your writer attended the w. >. ).
meeting ut the "Temple OF JUSTICE
(Courthouse) week before last, and as
we sat and listened to the patriotic
address OF Hon. w. r. Edgar, u
thoughts ran rapidly back over the
worlds wars, wen to 1000 years Is. z.
UP to the present war, and for diabcli-
cal outrage aud brutality, we could
not recall a single instance that could
equal that which the Germans have
done in the present war. 1t was not
strange to me that almost immediate.
" after Mr.. Edgar's address, the
pledges for stamps began to pour in
first by the thousands and later ON by
smaller ones. Most nearly all present
appeared to be interested, and willing
to do what he conid along that line.
OF one thing we are sure, and that Is
the W. S. s. proposition Is q safe IN
vestment. But for the poor fellow,
with no means of income aud in debt,
too, perhaps it takes more real cour'
age for him to pledge for even SO
small amount as ten dollars than II
would many OF our wealthy citizens to
take Ave hundred or a thousand. But
there Ia always a way provided fol-
one who conscieutiously makes ar
effort for the uplifting of humanity
though he may not at the time see
his way clear to meet the obiigatloI
thus placed upon himself.

This was a report by a committee OF the

WILSON PUTS G. 0. P.
ON FIGHTING EDGE
State Leaders Declare That
Presidents Appeal Serves
to Unite Republicans.

Republican leaders who hne visited
State headquarters in the last few days
have been asked particularly about the
reports of disaffection against Gov.
whitman which the Democrats have
been industriously circulating. In every
case the reply has been that the reports
have no foundation.
Charles II. Belts OF Wayne county,
who perhaps Is as familiar with the
central New York section as any man.
declared yesterday:
Not in many years have the Repub-
leans up State been so thoroughly
united as this year. And az for the
Presidents appeal. I would rather have
that TO help me in the campaign than
100000. 1t has brought the members
OF the party up to true fighting pitch
Representative Norman J. Gould in our
district will receive the largest vote ever
polled for that office"
IF there were any Republicans In
clined to Indifferent" declared Senator
William J. Calder. that appeal has
aroused them. There cannot be the
slightest doubt Of the reelection of Gov.
whitman and of an increased delega-
ton in Congress"
The executive committee Of the League
OF Republican Clubs yesterday addressed
an appeal to the voters calling attention
ing for preparedness long before the
Democrats fell into line and ending:
80, In assurance that we shall fight
on until a peace based upon uncondi-
tonal surrender. PREPARATION, restitution
and restoration is assured. We point to
our war record, and urge the citizens OF
the state to retain Charles $. whitman
and his associates on the State ticket In
control of the Government of the State
and to send Republicans to the House Of
Representatives in Washington
The Governor and the other candidates
on the State ticket will speak at the
Union League Club tonight. The Gov
ernor also will speak at the Amsterdam
Opera House, National Bohemian Hall
and the Lenox Casino in the Sixth As
sembly district. Tomorrow night hs
goes to Brooklyn and on Thursday he
will be in Albany and Troy.

ans meeting in Albany Thursday after

country the view that Democrats of the

others were as objectionable to him us

have destroyed to a great extent the
charge of partsanship with which he

AT the white House IL was stated that

but 1t did not come.
Since Mr.. Hughes started on the In
qury In the middle OF May the hearings
and every feature of the investigation
have been closely guarded. From the
first II was n star chamber proceeding
and there have been no leaks. 1t Is
known that Mr.. Hughes delved Into
every phase of aircraft production. and
into charges of incompetency, insinua-
tons OF dishonesty and even into con-
tracts and production progress. No de-
tail escaped him.
Some Democrats openly expressed the
view that the delivery of the report at
this Particular time savored of poiiti-
cal play by Mr.. Hughes. who is Re-
publican. Assurance by the White House
that it was to be made public left par
tisans on both sides thinking. There are
many who are inclined to regard with
significance that no action has followed
the conclusion OF the investigation, and
that so far as is apparent nothing was
developed that merited Grand Jury or
other, similar inquiry.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S.-The full report
OF the Hughes investigation into aircraft
production In the United States will be
made public within the next day or tEo
The report, with the findings and recdhn-
mendations of Mr.. Hughes. will be sent
to the White House by Attorney General
Gregory probably tomorrow. 1t was
stated authoritatlvely at the White
House that IL would be given to the pub
lie Immediately thereafter.
Both political factions in Washington
are showing an intense interest in the
situation, and It Is generally feared in
many quarters that the report coming
just on the eve of the elections may have
a potent political effect. Despite this in
terest and anxiety no information can
be obtained as to the shade Of the con-
illusions reached and the recommended
lions made.
The report, It Is known. Is a volumi-
nous one. 1t was delivered late Satur-
day. Attorney-Gereral Gregory spent

Would Destroy Republican Party.

Now for the national side of the
question. The Democratic party. under
the lead of the Administration, and tax
ing adroit advantage Of the great
patriotic outburst in support Of the war,
has, under the pretence OF the elimina-
ton OF partyism, come dangerously near
to creating n condition of one party
ism. II has not striven to eliminate
nartisanship: II has merely Striven to
destroy the Republican party in the in
terest Of the Democratic party.
The effort is constantly made 20
confuse the mind of the average citizen
and 20 COW him into supporting the
Democratic party by accusations OF lack
Of patriotism II he does not do so. This
= an intolerable outrage We admit
that a party is an INSTR ment that eau

-AI---- ....ulic, hut that actually,
IN Congress and out OF Congress, Il has
rendered greater percentage of war
service to the nation during and before
this war than has the Democratic party
We hold that the Republican party must
tell its war service to the nation, and
that II must 2sk the people to remem-
her that II gave the President creator

ticicntly to wage the war than did he

which he Is striving to keep in power.
We hold that the Republican party Is
the only party that rs patty has
dared to attack the war failures and
has stood for the duty of criticism of
what Is wrong, and therefore for the
imperative duty of telling the truth
THE Democrats have announced that
II is disloyal TO tell the truth. We hold
on the contrary that the highest proof
OF loyalty is truth telling when only by
telling the truth can We expose and
