Backs Up Soldier Sons
Maryland Controller Served
Nation Without Paw

WASHINGTON, Nov 30.-Hugh A.
McMullen, State Controller of Maryland
is one of the latest additions to the
ranks of men who are serving the ma
tion without compensation. He has
just taken up the dilution work of the
training and dilution service, Depart
ment of Labor, under Director Charles
T. Clayton, in order that he may back
up as effectively as possible his two
sons who are serving in France.
His only question, when he was asked
to undertake the work, was in regard
to its real Importance When he dis
covered its vital necessity, he consented
at once to undertake the work, in addi-
tion to his duties in Maryland.
Mr.. McMullen, the son of poor Irish
immigrants, was born in small shack
on the edge of coal dump, and went to
work as a miner while he was only a
child. AS soon as he had accumulated d
a little money, he opened a store in
tRs small mining town, and when he
had won success there started his
career as city merchant. Eventually
he became interested in banking, manu-
featuring and railroadng, and finally
entered politics.
He has just taken up the dilution
work. and one Of his first steps will be
an investigation to determine just what
necessity for dlution may exist.

Solution of Its Distribution
NAV Prove Keystone Of
Internationalism
All Entitled to Share
Social Worker Declares Wom-
en- in Future VIII Turn
Toward Agriculture

Having met on common ground to
face the problem of feeding the peo-
nles of the world, nations will now find
it easier to continue in accord with the
discussion of questions of political
unity, Miss Jane Adams told a large
audience yesterday morning in Car
magic Hall The gathering was under
the auspices of the League for Polit-
icsl Education The solution of the
food question, she said, may be the
keystone of internationalism.
aThe habits of internationalism are
not easy" Miss Addams said, "because
governments have not yet organlza-
tions for this kind OF intercourse. There
are cases Of voluntary organizations
of an international nature, such as
labor's organization, for example.
Only Voluntary Bodies
"At the beginning of the war gov
ernments made use of such voluntary
bodies because they had no machinery
of their own, and these bodies may vet
be the agents in the accomplishment Of
international actions
"The worlds food supply is being re-
Carded for the first time n history as
q unit, to be distributed not for profit
alone, but where it is. most needed for
the relief of humanity and the protec-
ton of the best interests of the world.
This tremendous moral advance
No issue as big as this ever has been
coped with The stumbling block has
been responsibility - never could that
be placed ultimately. Now we are all
responsible for the feeding of the world,
and we must not fail to az rebate
that the self-sacrifce we perform in
our homes is our share in a large world
movement"
Would Open Waterways
AS an illustration of how the food
problem would help in the decision Of
q difficult political question Miss
Adams pointed out that Serbia and
the Balkan States could not be prop
erly fed unless they had access to
neighbo1ing waterways. Therefore, the
waters about Constsntinople must be
open to every one equally, and in this
manner the Observation-Disclosures Of
waterways, one of President Wilson's
fourteen demands, would be accom-
phshed for reason other than a polit-
ical one.
Misa Adams was asked whether she
thought the world should feed Ger
many. Since Germany is part of
the world" she answered. cher case
must De COHSlQereu WIN tnaC OF the
rest of Us. Germany can feed her
self fer eight months. am told, if she
has transportation facilities. Our idea
is TO make it possible for all nations
TO feed themselves eventually"
Women to Return to Farms
With reference to Russia, Miss Ad-
dams said that there was food enough
IN certain portions Of the country. IN
dustries should be established in the
north, she said, so Russians could ex-
change food for manufactured prod
ucts.
Women, Miss Adams said, in an
sswer to quest ton, merely were return
ing to their old occupations when they
took up farming. Men took this field
OF work away from US when it assumed
commercial Importance" She said,
Now that the need for food is the
prime element in the situation, women
will go back to agrlculture"

Boys Harvest Beets
Salt Lake City Youngsters
Eagerly Help Save Crops

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-Salt Lake
City boys volunteered almost Ell masse
to harvest the sugar beet crop this
fall. The call was sent out for boys
to help, since the man power of Utah
has been considerably depleted by en-
listment, the draft and the war indus
tries.
On the day set for the beginning of
the beet field drive the boys gathered
from far and near to take their part
in the campaign. Great care was taken
to keep the youngest and smallest boys
out Of the work, much to their dis
appointment There were, however,
plenty of boys of high school age or
thereabouts available for the job, and
they worked with all the vim they
could have shown on the football field.
One youngster who was rejected as
a beet field recruit was keenly dis
appointed, although he admitted that
he had come without his parents con-
sent and that they might think him a
runaway.

to the location OF the burial place. of
Sir Walter Releigh in connection with

CANTEEN At FRONT FOR
AMERICAN bird MEN"

American flying men in France are
to receive special attention from the
American Red Cross as the result of a
request for such service that has been
received from General Patrick, Chief
of the Air Service Because of the
necessity OF keeping aviators over
seas i'm the very best mental and
physical condition for their hazardous
work officials of the aviation branch of
the service have long felt they should
have more comforts and opportunities
for relaxation than are provided by
the ordinary canteen.
In compliance with the request the
Red Cross is establishing special COM
bination mess and recreation canteens
at all points in France where our ayi-
ators, either students or officers, are
stationed. Extra comforts and atten-
ton will be provided for our bird
men" at these canteens. They will be
presided over by American women Of
intelligence and cheerful personality,
whose chief duty will be to create as
much home atmosphere as possible in
the circumstances.
The American Red Cross is to have
sole charge of these aviation canteens.
