Report Disloyal Acts

Charleston, 5. O., Apr 19, 1918 (Special)-It has come to the no tice of this office that many peo- pie fail to report suspicious and disloyal acts of manifestations of sympathy for the enemy, because of uncertainty as to the proper official to approach.
 It is very important that the Government should have the as sistance of all citizens in detect ing enemy propaganda or sus- picious activities of individuals, and you will do service in noti flying all people that any commu nication addressed to "Intelli. gence Officer, Headquarters Southeastern Department. Char. leston, s. C." will receive atten tion and be transmitted to the proper official of the Government for investigation. The names of informants will not be divulged and there need be no fear, on the part of anybody, of getting into trouble in case suspicious prove to be unfoundeG.
 Informants should indicate the nature and source of their infor nation, as well as the time and place.

WAR DEPARTMENT
Office of Provost Marshal General

Washington, D. c. April IF, 1918.-1. There iS an immediate demand for skilled men Tn vari ous units of the Army, needed by General Pershing The Sc lectiye Service machinery must produce these skilled men De lay in the several States in com Dleting the occupational cards precludes a resort to the cards to secure these men and makes il necessary to improvise a tenn porary plan for the purpose. A bout 12,000 men will be needed in the near future, which we hope to get by voluntary induc- tion under the following tempo rary plan.
 ? Enclosed herewith, is list of occupations of men who are needed now. Under separate cover we are sending yon suffi- cient copies to furnish five to each Local Board within your ju risdicition.
 3. Will you please give the widest publicity to this urgent call. A column on the front page of every ne ewspaper in your State could well be devoted to this purpose and headed Ma tion's Want Column " Qualified registrants should be urged to present themselves to their Lo- cal Boards. This office is with out an appropriation to pay for this advertising, but the patriot ism of the American press is re lied upon to aid in every way in their power.
 f. The military duty and train ing of these skilled men will be interesting. and the men who succeed in securing induction into the branches of the service to be filled will receive material personal benefit, which will aid them in advancement both in their Army career and in after life.
 5 It is suggested that you make use of bulletin boards throughout your State. on which should be placed copies of the enclosed list. This would doubt less result in a large number of applicants presenting themselves to Local Boards.

6. Inductions must not be made at this time however. When regIstrants present themselves to their Local Boards, they shoud be listed (NOT INDUCT- ED). and on APRIL 29 LOCAL BOARDS SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR OFFICE of the number of men who have volunteered for each of the different occupations. This information should be com piled in your office, and wire sent to this office on April 3Oth giving the total number of volun- 'eers who have presented them selves.

US. PAYS TOO MUCH
FOR UNIFORM WOOL
Western Grower Says Govern.
ment Should Buy Direct
from Producers.

John D. Holiday, of Helena, Mont,
president OF the National Wool Ware.
house and Storage company, alleges
that the purchasing committee of the
" National Council of Defense is pay
ing a large middlemen's profit on the
wool bought for army clothes. through
its unwillingness to deal direct with
the wool growers of the west.
Holiday states that he has endeav-
ored to have the committee deal d.
rectly with the growers, but that in
stead it has bought it's wool on the
open market, thus Indirectly aiding
wool SPECTATORS who had purchased
the commodity at far lower prices
from the growers. He alleges that
these spectators have made huge
profits from the government. in most
cases averaging over 20 per cent.
Will Present Facts to Congress.
In an interview at Chicago. where
he went to investigate the matter, MIR.
Holiday said:
II have presented this condition to
the wool purchasing committee, but
without avail. I shall next 20 to
Washington and propose that if the
government insists upon paying the
market price. then it go direct to the
growers. This would eliminate spec.
ulation. and at the same time satisfy
growers, who now complain they are
not getting the advantage of the huge
increase in the price of wool, with the
consequences that less wool is grown"

U. S. MUST CONTROL PRICES
President Of the University of Wiscon.
sin Says That Government Con-
troll Has Failed.

DR.. Charles R. VanHise, president
Of the University of Wisconsin, told
the members of the St. Paul Associa-
ton the ether day that the govern
ment must take over and control the
public utilities before justice can be
obtained.
DR.. Van1ise had no criticism to
offer because the long-endured poll
cies had failed. but cited that the war
had created new conditions, and that
in the Hour of crisis regulation had
failed to stop the evil of ~protiteering.
Sherman Law Not Adequate.
The Sherman law proved entirely
inadequate, the speaker asserted, as
cooperation that cannot be made
through written contract was made
by gentlemen's agreement, and the
monster organizations were enabled
to retain their hold on the people in
spite of the terms Of the Sherman
law.
He expressed the view that all nee.
essary commodities, IN times of peace
as we'll as war should be controlled
by the government, and that food
should be considered as necessary OF
control as transportation.
In Line With League Program.
The ideas advanced by DR.. Van
Hise are in line with the program as
promulgated by the National Nonpar.
tisan League, and it is hut a short
step to carry out this program when
the able educators of the nation will
join with the producers in advocating
these principles.
