" HE whirl of immense events turns up
many sudden chance to do con-
- structive things They may seem lit
tie; but if enough of them occur, they will
help us toward victory.
These days we are thinking of our Army
and Navy. Most of our soldiers and sailors
are very young; many still in their teens.
Others in their early twenties. Their char
acters are not yet firmly established. Many
were unfavorably affected by the depres-
sion. About half are either foreign-born or
grew up in foreign" neighborhoods; not
too certain as yet - some of them - of
what it means to be an American.
Here is an extraordinary opportunity for
Army and Navy officers. From personal
experience, l know they can do - and can
refrain from doing - much that will help
to mold the characters of the young men
under them.
In 1917 was in the Regular Army. The
big idea then was to make the world safe

wanted to have hand in helping President
Wilson to realize it.
Otherwise, however, was uniformed,
underlined as person. Besides being barely
18, was foreign-born, here only since
1913; and my fiedgling personality was
undergoing revision in order to fit into
American life.

Maj. Eliot Says Axis Faces
Depleted Resources in 1913
Allies Urged to Set Up War Council
With Worldwide Scope to Chart Victory

Fasteners" and "westerners" OF
the last war will pale into insig-
nifcance beside the contests to be
waged this year in Washington
unless adequate means are found
to adjust these differences in the
interest of the common cause. This
is true particularly unless true
spirit of coalition" which shall ami
mate the representatives of all the
United Nations arises so that ma
tional interests may be subordi-
mated. without bitterness and loss
of confidence, to victory over the
Axis.
Supreme War Council Advocated.
There is a distinct danger in form
ing regional councils having to do
with a particular theater of war
only, such as the proposed Pacific
council. What Is required Is su-
preme war council, representing all
the Allied powers. with worldwide
scope and perspective for the high
direction of q world war.
What is needed is the permanent
presence in Washington Of political
representatives of the highest emin-
ence and authority able to speak for
Great Britain, the Dominions and
India, Russia and China; these to
be in daily contact and collabora-
tion with the President, and each to
have his proper military and eco
nomic advisors to work with our own
staffs and government departments.
Only then will it be possible for
conflicting claims and conflicting
viewpoints to be reconciled by open
and frank discussion, with each Of
the parties at interest presenting his
case in the presence OF the other.
The present method of individual
and separate contacts neither breeds
| confidence nor saves time. This is
a world war, and we are fighting
against time to hold back an enemy
who knows that he must win within
a given period or lose all hope OF
winning. Only the most efficient
methods Of planning and co-opera-
tive action will enable the United
Nations to get through this crucial
year without disaster.
The foundation Of cooperative ac-
ton is mutual confidence; and since
the major decisions must be largely
American, let us seek the confidence
OF our Allies by asking them to sit
down with us and plan the day-by-
day conduct OF this war in the true
spirit of coalition-one for all and
all TOR one. This Is the road to VIC
tory.

Immediately at their nearest war
Price and Rationing Board, if they
wish to obtain coffee under the new
rationing plan which goes into effect
on Sunday, November 20, the Office
of Price Administration announced
recently.
War Ration Book No. 1 will have
to be surrendered eventually for the
consumer to receive War Ration Book
No. 2, the all-purpose rationing book,
so it is essential that everyone have
Book No. whether or not he expects
to purchase coffee or sugar. Con-
sumers who do not have the War Ra-
ton Book No. 1 must register for it
before December Is, 1912.
The first coffee stamp is Number
81 of Number One book. This will
entitIe each holder of War Ration
Book No. l, over Is years of age, to
purchase one pound of coffee during
the five week period November 20,
1912, through January 3, 1913.
Stamps numbered 20 to % have been
deigned as coffee stamps, and will be
valid in the order of 27, %, 25, &c,
etc, necessary because of the physi-
cal arrangement of stamps in the
books.
The retailer will handle the stamps
just as he does for sugar, FASTING
them on sheets which he turns in to
his supplier when he replenishes his
stock. The November 1928 freeze"
is intended to allow to take coffee
inventory and replenish his coffee
supplies for sales under rationing. To
replenish supplies, he must do these
things;
1. Take an initial inventory of the
amount he has on hand as of mid
night, November Fl. He must in
eclude the total weight of all mixtures
of coffee and other substances (chic-
cry, chick-pea) which are already
mixed when he received them.
If the retailer roasts green coffee,
he must convert the weight of the
green coffee into terms of roasted
coffee by multiplying the weight of
green coffee by O.84.
2. Compute his allowable inven-
tory" follows:
If he owns only one retail store,
does not roast coffee, and sold less
than 1000 lbs of coffee during Sep
TENDER, he has an allowable inven-
tory" or one pound of coffee for each
$1,000 gross sales in September.
IF the retailer sold more than 1000
