EXPLAINS WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Dean Walter Miller Tells of Its In
pOrtance in Great Conflict,

The campaign now on is one of the
most important features in the great
conflict" said Dean Walter Miller
"Wednesday night in speaking of the
United War Work campaign, before

ants, he district captains represent
iCC ne University women and repre-
acn,atives CT non S. A. T. c. men stu
denis who are to conduct this cam
paign amcng the students.
Last March when the seven or
gGniZatiCns made out their separate
budgets" continued Dean Miller. 1.-The
s170,5OO,O0O aggregate was the larg-
est sum ever known before to be at
tempted for such work.
But even thai has been found to
&c inadequate. and s25O,OOO,O0O is the
goal now.
The things il is needed for are so
vast | can sketch them in only a cur
sorry way
I'm a word. it goes to take home to
the men. The ultimate aim is to
sustain the morale of the army, to
fecp it clean, to bring the home in
iuences to work, and to bring them
back not a whit worse but better
than when they went away.
This sum looks small when il is
compared with the Liberty Loan, it
looks smaller when compared with
the work it does"
Dean Miller told of the hOmesick-
ness that even he felt when he left
home. when he boarded the ship which
was TO take him across and when he
reached the foreign shore. How much
more do the men feel this?
AT these times. these organizations
CON forth with influences to sustain
the home ties"
Doctor Miller spoke mostly of the

ma" knowledge of it gained through
his experiences last year in England,

BRITAIN REPLIES
TO BULGARIAN
ARMlST|CE Plea
Can Be No Suspension Of Mill
tary Operations and Bull
qaria Must Break with
Germany.

London Sept. 8.-Great Britain
has replied to the Bulgarian request
for an armistice. The reply, it is
stated, is fully covered by the an
swer given the Bulgarian repres,
tatives by the commander OF the
allied army on the Macedonian
front. By this reply it is perfectly
we'll defined that no military oper-
atoms can be suspended.
At the same time regarding the
proposal that duly accredited Bull
garian representatives should con-
fer with the allies on the question
of peace, it has been made qui
clear to the Sofia government that
such a peace necessarily involves a
complete rupture by the bulgarian
government with Turkey, Germany
and Austria Hungary.
Guarantees Required.
The allied governments necessarily
demand every guarantee which they
consider necessary to them OF safe.
guard their military operations and
prevent the dispatch of German
troops to Bulgaria.
In discussing the Bulgarian pro-
posal, it is pointed out the allies
nave no intention of attempting to
make a final territorial settlement
in the Balkans, which obviously
must be mattery for considera
ton at the peace conference.
The question, it is stated, is one
OF the conclusions of such mill
tary agreement as would prevent
any further danger from the Bull
garian side to the operations of the
allies in the Balkans.
If the terms laid down. which
have been dispatched to Sofia. are
not acceptable to the Malinoff gov
eminent, the allied powers, it is ad
ded have no further conditions to
propose and it will rest with Bull
garia to find other representatives
who can accept these conditions.

That war garden Mary persuaded me in

moments. said something to Mary about
abandoning the idea, but Mary said, Stacker!
and l shut up. says correspondent.
l had expected to spade my garden, but
| didn't expect that l would have to ex-
cavate it. That's what l did for two
evenings-just plain excavating. At eone
place have hole two feet deep and about
five feet across, and still haven't struck
soil. have mined out a beautiful collec-
ton of bricks and broken bottles, mixed
with pieces of lath and plaster and other
things, which it would take an optimistic
gardner to view as fit material for seed
bed. And now l am wondering how far
down it is to bedrock, for l have passed
everything else on my way down this far

been very sarcastic over my activities. He

mind to tell him it was grave for undesir-
able neighbors; but Mary and Mrs. Turner

and things from each other, and she would
not have liked it if l had broken off neigh
borly relations. So told Turner l had a
tip that there was coal beneath my lot and

Irvine Salvage Problem

Fiber experts of the United States food
administration have placed a most difficult
problem before the people of the country to
let them find the solution. Heretofore, it
seems, the best inventive genius of this and
other countries have been baffled by it. The
problem is the profitable salvage of the
800, 900, 900 pounds of binder Irvine, cost
ing 5000, 900, used annually in the
United States and Canada, in order to over
come the shortage that now exists. One
firm of fibre merchants is advertising for
suggestions and devices by which farmers
and threshermen can save the Irvine from
total loss. There is only about two feet of
Irvine on each bundle of grain, worth about
one-tenth of cent, and the present method
is to let it be cut up with the straw and be
lost. The secondhand value of the bits of
cords would of course be even less, and yet
if way can be found to salvage these pieces
a serious condition will be considerably re-
lieved. Popular Mechanics.
