departments of the government, the
year has seen tremendous strides in
the mobilization of labor, industry,
science and invention with the sole aim
of winning the war. Hundreds of bust
ness and professional men have given
up private interests to serve the gov
ernent at nominal pay. Business andd
manufacture has given the best Of it's )
secrets. Whatever criticism has been
made of the lack off CO. coordination OF
all these tremendous resources and
power, none ever has charged that
private interests has withheld them.
What is expected to be one of the
mishtest weapons in winning the
war is the war trade board, created for
the purpose of cutting off supplies to>
Germany thru the adjacent neutrals.
AS the war goes on, officials say, the
work of this organization cannot be

\ year Of war, all officials concede,
finds shortcomings and defects, but 1t
is contended no more than might have
been expected from a peaceful nation
suddenly re-organized TO a war basis.
President Wilson in recent de-
claration pronounced the present year
the vital one in the winning of the war.
AS the resources of America now being
gathered, get to the battle fronts with
a mighty rush, they are fully expected
to carry the allies through to victory.

First Year of War
Finds U. $. Resources
Just Made Available

Washington. April 6.-The first an
nive rsary of the entrance of the United
States into the war finds the great re-
sources OF the country just coming into
pared.
The achievements of the first year
are chiefly divided between the army.
which has been supplying and training
fighting forces; the navy which has
beenhunting the submarine and con-
voying troops and supplies to Europe,
the shipping board which has been
building a merchant marine and the
treasury which has been advancing
credits to the allies.
In all other departments of gov
eminent there has been a tremendous
effort to bring all the force of the
country's resources and power to the
aid OF the actual fighting machine.
For military reasons it is not per-
Missile to state the exact number of
American troops in France with Gen
eral Pershing's expedition, but Secre-
tary Baker. in recent testimony before
the senate military committee predicted
lIdIL d llilllIOll lfleN Wouiu nc lJSIC
early this year and that another mil
lion would be ready to go during the
year.
American troops have taken UP sew
eral positions on the fighting line in
France, have occupied sector of their
own northwest of Toui, and have had
numerous encounters with the Ger
mans. Official statements from Brit
Ssh and German army headquarters
have shown that certain American
fighting forces were thrown into the
battle brought on by the great German
offensive this spring, the British war
office first reporting them as fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the British
and French troops in the, vicinity OF
Roye.
| BY referring to the combined forces
of the regular army and national guard
a year ago, and comparing the strength
OF the regular army now, the national
guard mustered into federal service,
and the men of the first draft in can
comments. it is apparent that the total
number OF ready lighting men mas been
increased from meager two hundred
thousand to something like million

Military experts have estimated that
should the war be prolonged and it be-
come necessary for the United States
to assume the burden of carrying on
the conflict an army Of five million
men would not be improbable. the
immense and sudden expansion Of the
army has not been without criticism
but, it is declared this was expected
in the conversion into a fighting force

Des Moines April 6.-With the first
anniversary today of the entrance OF
the United States into the world war
lowans recQunted the part this state
has played in aiding to make the
world safe for democracy.
In lighters. food and finances the
state has responded in full measure to
each demand. Many of her sons al
ready have laid down their lives on
the battlefelds of France while thou
sands of others are preparing to help
crush the Hun.
To the lighting forces of the nation
Iowa has given more than 1850 men:
She has bought $ll5,925.6OO worth of
liberty bonds in the first and second
issues has purchased more than Sc
000o00 in war savings stamps, aud has
contributed to all important war work
funds. including 100000 to the Red
Cross.
Man With Hioe Not Idle.
While the man with the gun has
taken to the battle field. the man with
the hoe" has not been idle at home. and
production has been increased in all
important crops while the women have
carried the war to '.thc Kitchen with
marked results IN food conservation.
When the federal government took
over the national guard Of the state
last summer shortly after this country
entered the war there were 1852 men
in the guard and regular army, and ap-
proXimately 5000 in the naval reserve.

the organization of an ammunition
train consisting Of nine officers and
$50 men. In DeS Moines Company c OF
the engineers was recruited and in
Council Bluffs Company B of the engi-
neers was formed each with a person

Many Men Respond to Draft.
In the first selective draft Iowa con-
tributed 1919 men. and in addition to
this number voluntary inductons as-
gregated about 1000. Other special
calls by the government that were met
included:
Five hundred men 10 the coast artil
lery at Fort Worden. Wash: 16g auto
mobile mechanics, So, carpenters and
so bricklayers to Kelly Field. Tex. and
1900 men Of eighth grade education
or better for special instruction in
aerial mechanics.
The present strength Of the national
guard IN the state is only 703, divided
as follows: Five officers and 100 men
in the field artillery: , officers and
s. men in the field hospital and five
officers, including the adjutant general
at state headquarters.
There is no record available Of the
number of men who have enlisted in
the regular army. navy and marine
since war was declared. but large
numbers OF those in the draft resistra-
ton obtained their release thru local
boards and joined some fighting
branch of the service when they found
they would not be Included in the first
draft.
Total enlistnents in the navy and
marine since April . 1917. are not de-

figures furnished by the naval re-
cruiting station in Des Moines indicate
there are more than 5000 Iowans in

by their crews at the orders of the

The case of the great liner Water

efficiency and speed with which the
naval engineers conducted that WORK.
