FOURTH TERM:
F.D.R. Willing

One week before the Democratic
national convention met in Chicago,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, looking cool
in his s~eersucker pants and white
shirt, but wriggling nervously, told
a gathering of 200 quiet newspaper
men that if the people of the U. S.
decreed, he would be willing to
serve a fourth term as president.
With the country's objective being
a speedy end to the war, a durable
peace and the creation of a prosper
u economy, F. D. R. said that he
would have to accept a fourth term
as a good SOLDIER if the people
again called upon him to remain at
the helm of state.
F. D. RS announcement was
front page new the world over, with
both British and Russian papers
playing it up without comment. The
German radio disclaimed interest,
saying: One is convinced
here lin Berlin) that military and
political issues which are now at
stake are not to be influenced by this
or that President of the United
States"

DRAFT:

Future induction of the over 80
group depends entirely upon the
course of the war, Selective Service
Director Lewis Hershey declared, in
discussing present draft policies
calling for the induction of all pos
sible able-bodied men under 26, and
all men between 26 and 90 not neces-
sary to an essential industry.
In revealing that there were

Gals told a congressional subcom-
mittee that one-third of the U. S.
population was physically or men
tally unfit, and recommended a pro-
gram of public clinics tied in with
private doctors, to improve civilian
health.
In commenting on draft policies,
Hershey said that unless the mill
tary situation should take unfore-
seen turns, maintenance of the size
of the present army would continue
to determine induction calls.

PACIFIC:
Spotlight Shifts

The spotlight in the ever widen
ing Pacific warfare shifted back to
northern New Guinea, where IS, 600
desperate Japanese sandwiched be-
tween U. S. beachheads all along the
coast, repeatedly attempted to break
through the iron ring being forged
around them.
In the islands farther to the north,
U. S. w~arships and planes con-
tinued to pepper the important step
ping stones to the japanese main
land, with Guam below captured
Saipan the major target.
Despite the ferocity of their at
tacks in New Guinea, the position
of the Japanese forces was hopeless,
with Yanks occupying large patches
all along the 600 miles of coastline
to their west, and other Allied forces
firmly entrenched to their east.

Bumper Crops

Overcoming machinery and man
power difficulties, U. S. farmers are
expected to turn in bumper crops ir
1914, the department of agriculture
reported, with the wheat harvest
anticipated at an all-time high Of
1923, 000, 900 bushels, 119, 000, 900
over the former top of 1915.
Prospects were reported good for
all grains, with the corn crop ex-
pected to approximate 1880, 900, 900,
the fifth largest in U. S. history.
Although near record harvests were
predicted for hay, fruits, vege-
tables and soybeans, and a 20 per
cent increase in truck produce for
the fresh market is anticipated, the
department looks for smaller dry
beans and peas, peanuts and potato
crops.
Harvested acreage was set at
1855, 900, 900 acres for the So principal
crops, largest since 1882, and 2 per
cent over last year.

Unloading Trouble

Latest problem to arise as a re-
suit of the manpower complications
resulting from the war, is the i'm
loading of grain cars at wheat mar
kets, with permits needed for ship
ments from II points in the south
west.
With no less than %, 900, 900 bush
els of wheat standing in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas because of the
unloading situation, it was predicted
that about six months would be re-
quired to move the crops from these
states and Colorado instead of the
usual 60 to go days.
Large crops and insufficient rail
cars were said to be contributing
factors to the terminal crisis, but,
except for bad weather, there is no
threat of grain spelling in the fields.

Eighth armies advance to the rich

AS the Germans fell back toward
their East Prussian border in the
north, German propagandists made
no bones about the critical situation,
declaring that the time had come
for the complete industrial and mill
tary mobilization of every mar in
the Reich capable of working or

As one man put ii, there is no use
