 The conference represented, accord ing to Nathan A. Smyth, acting as- sistant director general of the Elm ployment Service and chief of it's un- skilled labor section, "the taking of the Nation into partnership with the Employment Service and its task from the word go.' The spokesmen for employers and workers pledged the complete cooperation of their organ izations. F. D. Howard, of the in dustrial bureau of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, said that that body and it's constituent or ganizations would work with the na- tional and field officers of the service, while Charles P. Howard of Portland, ! Oregon, made a similar promise as ! spokesman for the American Fedora 1 ton of Labor.
 The war industries of the country are at present short of 50),OO0 unski1- led workers and their coming needs will call for between 2,OOO,00O and B. O00, 600 more," MT. Smyth told the con ferees.
 Similarly, the demand for skilled workers for war production exceeds the immediately available supply and before long we will have to take ev- cry toolmaker and die sinker in on war work and put him in war indus try. Our industrial army's mobili- zation is a task more difficult thar that of the raising of the fighting forces and the community labol boards of the Employment Service which will have general charge O the recruiting and distribution of la bor among local industries, have { task that is of greater magnitude than that of the draft boards.

AMERICA WILL AID
JAPAN IN SIBERIA
PRESIDENT WILSON'S PROPOSALS
PROVE SATISFACTORY TO THE
JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
Plans Looking to Aid Of czecho-slovaks
Now Operating in Siberia, Will
Be Carried out as Rapidly as
Possible by the Allies.

Washington action between
Japan, the entente powers and Ameri-
ca in Siberia is assured.
Japan has found acceptable the Am
erican proposal, which primarily looks
to the aid of the Czecho-Sloyaks, now
operating In Siberia, and after ex-
changes between Toxic and Washing
ton, which have cleared up all doubtful
points and removed any possibility Of
future misunderstanding, complete
agreement has been reached. The plan
Of operation will be put into execution
at once.
Last week lntlmatiOns were given in
official quarters that the president was
soon to issue statement explaining the
plans of the United States for partici-
patton in the expedition to give milf
tary aid to Russia. When, however,
the Japanese government found it nee
essary to call upon the state depart
ment for explanation of some features
of the American proposal, the state
ment was withheld. Presumably, now
that satisfactory understanding has
been reached, the statement will be
issued.
Meanwhile, 1t Is the desire of Off
cials that there shall be no speculation
as to the character of the Intervention
in the press.
Consequently, all that it is possible
now to say is that in the beginning, at
least, the international agreement must
find its expression in combined milf
tary activity, and cable advices have
recorded the gathering of small bodies
of entente troops at points in China
convenient for dispatch into western
Siberia.
Ching, the provincial COVER
nor at Sci Lung King, has been select
ed to command the considerable body
of Chinese troops which has been
gathered in Manchuria, and 1t is under
stood that his force will act under
the direction of the Japanese com
mander-in-chief.

RRlTAlNs PART AGAINST KAISER
In Four Years England Has Raised
7,5oo,o 900 Soldiers.

New York-Great Britain's contribu-
ton to the success of the allies was
made public here on the eve of
the fourth anniversary of the United
Kingdoms entrance into war, by the
British bureau of information of the
British war mission.
Staggering figures that tell an elo-
quent story of sacrifice, heroic deter
mination and accomplishment are re-
vealed by the bureau, which points out
that Great Britain and her colonies
have raised 100000 soldiers, of whom
100000 have been slain and 100000
are wounded or missing. England her
self, it is said, has furnished go per
cent of the fighters and suffered 76 per
cent of the casualties.
1t has been estimated, the bureau
says, that Britain has fought on sew
enteen fronts during the last four
years, including Belgium, France,
Italy, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Palestine,
Mesopotamia, China, and North, East
and West Africa.

AN AUGUST CONCEPTION

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet and essayist, writing some 75 years ago, said:
 ''The possible destiny of the United States of America as a nation of a hundred million free men, stretching from the Alt lantic to the Pacific, living under the laws of Alfred and speaking the language of Shakespeare and Milton, is an August conception. !"
 The United States is now a na- tion of a hundred million and more, stretching from the At lantic to the Pacific, and reach Ing out east takes in Hawaii and the Philippines, in the north Alaska, and in the south the Panama Canal. But grander than it's physical, is it's moral greatness. Its fairness and just ice, it's courage and power, its maintenance of right and free dom cover the world.
 The destiny the United States is now fulfilling is a more August conception than even the imagi- nation of the author of Kubla Khan conceived of less than a century ago.

WHY SUGAR IS SCARCE.

1. We have been sending sol diers across at rapid rate. This has meant that less ship ping was available to bring the sugar from Java and the West Indies.
 2. Crops are less than were anticipated.
 3. France and Italy will have to Import more. Many of their beet sugar factories have been destroyed by the Germans.
 4. Submarines on the Atlan- tic coast have sunk large sup plies of sugar.
 5. Our consumption In the form of sweet drinks and candy has greatly increased.

MuxWeU Truck in
 Ocean-to- o-Ocean Haul

The first motor truck to start across the continent laden with with military supplies en route from Australia to France, left Golden Gate, July 17th, for New York City, via Lincoln Highway. The ocean-t to-ocean haul is being made by a Maxwell Truck, in CO., operation with army authorities of the United States government, and is laid out on a schedule that will convey the load from coast to coast at a rate of more than 100 miles a day-the time ordi- narily made by passenger auto- mobile tourists.
 With Ray McNamara, Maxwell road engineer, at the wheel, the truck took a ton of army supplies from an Australian liner at the San Francisco wharves, was fer ried across the bay to Oakland and started on it's first days run to Sacramento, Cal, lEl miles.
 As the distance from San Francisco to New York by speed ometer record is 3,418.9 miles, every possible effort will be made to put the truck over the highway route in the shortest possible running time, and to es- tablish a transcontinental record in truck transport.
 By this trip, Detroit-made motor truck will, for the first time, serve as the overland link in an international haul by sea and lard of more than 12,000 miles-more than half way round the world.

HOW TO GAN FRUIT
 WITHOUT ANY SUGAR
NEW PROCESS DESCRIBED FOR B EFIT THIS PAPERS
 WOMEN READERS.

The federal food administration for Arizona gives the following as a satis. factory method for canning fruit with. out sugar. For this process the food administration is indebted to the di. vision of viticulture of the University of California.
 The sugar used in canning or bot. ting fruit is for the purpose of i'm proving the flavor and is not necessary for preservation.
 Fruit of any kind suitable for can ming may be preserved without any sugar. When the fruit is consumed, the sugar can be added exactly as is done with fresh fruit If the fruit when canned is thoroughly ripe it may be consumed without this addition of sugar and is sweet enough for many tastes.
 The ordinary methods of home can ming are used. These are the "cold pack and "hot pack" methods.
 For the former the fruit Is washed, peeled, pitted or cored as needed and packed tight in clean, scalded cans or jars. Water is then added, boiling in the case of cans, and as hot as pos- sible without cracking the glass in the case of jars. Scalded caps or covers and rubbers are then put in place loosely and the filled cans heated in a vessel of boiling water for twenty to forty minutes. An ordinary wash boiler furnished with a wire screen or a wooden grating on which to place the jars Is suitable for this purpose. The boiler should contain enough wa ter to rise about halfway up the sides of the jars.
 While still at the boiling tempera- ture the jars or cans are removed, sealed and placed to cool, lying hori. zontally or upside down.
 For the hot pack" method the pre- pared fruit is placed in a large pot on the stove with little water to pre-. vent burning. After heating to the boiling point and cooking until the fruit is tender and some of the juice has exuded. 1t is poured into the cans or heated jars by means of perfor. ated or wire ladle and a wide funnel. Sufficient juice from the pot is then added just to cover the fruit and the cans or jars sealed. These are then heated in the boiler for about twenty minutes. For second batch of the same fruit the juice remaining in the pot should be used instead of water for the preliminary cooking.
