DEMANDS EVERYBODY DO
SOME KIND OF WAR WORK

Washington, Feb. Citing the need
for ships to win the war and reports
that steel riveters employed in the ship
building yards are refusing to accom-
plish as much work as formerly at
higher wages, Senator McCumber OF
North Dakota yesterday called the SEN
ate's attention to the labor situation.
Riveters who formerly drove about $50
rivets a day, he said, now complain
about driving more than 200 to $50, and
thus impede ship construction. He
llso contended all Americans between
rs and 81 should do some kind of war
work, along lines proposed in a bill he
ecently introduced.

Will Embrace Latest in
Agriculture.

NEW YORK.-Dr. Kenyon l.. But
terfield, president of the Massachu-
sets commission in charge of voca-
tional training for American troops
abroad, sailed Saturday for France
to organize there a staff of agricul-
turists who will make it possible for
the khaki university" to add to its
curriculum a course in farming.
Before sailing, DR.. Butterfield an
nounced he would be followed by
several presidents and deans of Am
erican agricultural colleges and that,
in addition, he expected to find await
ing him in Paris a list of former
students teachers and alumni of ag-
ricultural colleges, who are now in
the army, but who would be avail
able for his staff.
From the United States alone we
shall recruit experts on soils and
fertilizer, cotton and other southern
|crops, grain and northern crops, live
stock, dairying, horticulture, agricul-
tural engineering, and agricultural
economics" he said.
Lectures and Demonstrations
Lectures and demonstrations will
be conducted by the visitation me-
thod; that is, by utilizing all the OPP
portunities overseas for giving the
men an insight into the best French
farming method, horse breeding, in
tensive gardening and the like. 1t
is expected that the doors, of the
great French universities will be
thrown open to the men of advanced
classes.
"We expect to be confronted with
the problem Of many men who have
never done any agriculture work, but
who feel that when they are de-
mobolized they would like, to make
their living from the soil. We intend
to cooperate in any constructive plan

Our Writer in France
Saumur, France.
BY Sgt. F. G.. Kutnewsky

Dear Mr.. Trego:
This is q hoiday-the twelfth of
November. The French deserve
their great Joy and they are taking
it unto the very LINT. Last night
was Christmas, New Year and Fourth
Of July all in one grand combina-
tion over here.
The narrow cobbled streets were
thronged with shouting French and
grinning Americans, grizzled French
veterans led impromptu parades
twelve abreast, singing the Marseil-
laise and lighting their way with
red and green flares. Rockets and
fireworks sized and banged under
foot among the careless crowd, or
made momentary CLEANS overhead
in thick fog that had been down
over us all day. Smoke and fog
Joined to make the scene fantastic.
l was reminded of Griffith's de-
piction of pillaged town in his
Birth of aviation" Everybody
shook hands with any sympathetic
neighbor. Girls and children romped
by in close columns carrying French
and American flags and singing the
Marseillaise. Even this afternoon
the song comes to my ears in the bar
racks as crowd of girls passes our
way. Then cheers. Never have I
witnessed such an abandoned cele-
bration. The Americans help as
much as they can for they know the

and led his men into the Norman
settlements at Colonia Dublan just
on the heels of the retreating ban
dts. Under Pershing's direction
the expedition pushed as far south
as the Chihuahua-Durango line and
at the period when success was
about to crown his efforts, the expedi.
tionary commander received orders
from Washington to withdraw. Villa
the bandit leader, was never cap
tured, but his forces were entirely
dispersed in northern Mexico.
Upon the death of General Fred
erick Funston in February, 1917,
Pershing was placed in command OF
the southern department. Upon
Americas entry into the war in April
of that year, Pershing was chosen
commander of the American expedi-
tionary forces in France. He landed
at Liverpool, England, on June 8,
and after four days in London
crossed the channel and arrived in
France at the port Of Boulogne on
June 10. Several days later, in Paris
the American commander in chief,
accompanied by his staff, went to
Picpus cemetery and laid wreath
Of roses on tomb and gave voice to
the historic words: Lafayette, we
are here!"
(These words are enormously at
tributed to General Pershing. They
were said by General Charles E. STAN
ton, on Pershing's staff.-Editor.)
In October of last year he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of a full general
and on the 23d day of that same
month led into the first line tho first
American soldiers to reach the west
ern front. He personally directed
the training of our overseas forces.
In March Of this year, when the
Germans struck in Picardy, it was
Pershing's wholesouled and unselfish
offer of his entire command to Mar
shall Foch that was most instrument
tai in bringing about the long de-
layed and all desired unified control
Of the military ftces of the allies.
Tie training viii II PershiRg had in
calcated into our overseas forces was
revealed when our men stopped the
Germans at the Marine in June and
later struck the blow that started the
German withdrawal on July is.
Pershing, himself, demonstrated
his capacity as one of the greatest
field commanders of all the allied
forces when in September of this
year he directed the big American
push which wiped out the existence
of the St. Michel salient in the brief
period of seventy-two hours. and re-
from the western front the
enemy menace which had long been
and characterized as a dagger
pointed at the heart of France.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Transport Reaches New York With
First Body Of Overseas Troops.
New York.-The British steamship
Mauretania, returning to the United
States with the first large body OF
American overseas troops, anchored In
Gravesend bay at Z 40 o'clock Sunday
night.
Aboard the Mauretania were several
thousand members of the air service,
who were stationed in England. The
ship also carried a number of casuals.
According to those on the Maure-
tania, the ship had rough crossing.
Four storms were encountered and at
one time the sea ran so high that the
clerical force at work in the cabin had
to quit when their typewriters were
hurled to the floor.
