noon. A German prisoner of war
camp, designed to aid in harvest
ing crops, is scheduled to open
Monday, on seven acre tract on
the Winslow place at Smiths Cor

30 to 40 soldiers as guards, the
entire project to be surrounded by
barbed wire. The prisoners will
be housed in wooden cottages and
will work on farms between 8 Am.

They will be transported to wari-
GUS farms by farmers who apply
for them, according to 1t. Jarvis.
He added that farmers also will
have to supply their own guards

groups a soldier from the camp
will be provided.
Declaring that the prisoners will

Mr.. Anderson said farmers will
pay each prisoner the prevailing

Winning the peace in Europe
now is looming as a real task
for real men. This phase of
making peace will be handled in
a military manner and we all
hope that economic contentment
can be brought back to. the
devastated countries soon. But
decisions at San Francisco can
not be made by the military.
Complete understandings and
agreements have to be worked
out with varying opinions and
interests from all corners of the
world. 1t is true that the United
States, Great Britain and Rus
STA carry the real strength of
the United Nations. But it can't
be denied that among the many
small nations represented are
the seeds of wars and the dan
gers to the future.
Featured almost constantly
since the Conference opened is
the position of the Soviet Repub-
lie on many questions. Russia
undoubtedly is capable, willing
and insistent upon playing an
important role in the future
world. Great Britain is in a
like position. And our
country is in at least as strong
a position as either. Full accord
among these three great powers
is the one essential for world
peace for the next generation.

She has shown sort of lack of

Action Demanded Now
By Columbia Heights
lon Welfare Homes

Congressional appropriation of
funds for the construction and
maintenance of a new Receiving
Home and for improvements in the
Industrial Home School was asked
by the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association last night.
The action followed appeals by
A. j. Driscoll and Mrs. Ernest w.
Howard, Public Welfare Board men,
berS, that citizens move to erase the
absolutely medieval conditions ex-
isting in the institutions today.
Mr.. Driscoll said it is the duty
of every citizen to look after the
youngsters of the city" and to see
that children in homes of correc-
ton have adequate recreational IA
cilitieS and vocational training He
estimated that $417,000 will be re-
quired for construction of a new
Receiving Home alone.
Ideal Setup Beyond Hopes.
"Of course" Mr.. Driscoll added,

Mrs. Howard concurred that it

lines described by Mr.. Driscoll, than

NEW PLAN FOR
BONDS BOUGHT
OVERSEAS

The War ID ep art m Int has
adopted new plan for the handling
of war bonds bought by the men
overseas that has many advantages
for the soldier. OF necessity, the
delivery of the bonds is somewhat
slower. but here's the reason why.
The bonds are now issued upon
notification from the soldiers or
ganization overseas. Naturally, there
is considerable lapse of time be-
fore word is actually received from
overseas by the Army War Bond
Office in Chicago, where the bonds
are issued. Consequently they may
not be received by the persons des-
ignated until from 80 to so days
later than they have been accus-
toned to receiving them The pur-
chaser won't lose anything by it
though, because the bonds are dated
on the first day of the month in
which payroll deduction is made.
There is therefore no loss of inter-
est, and the maturity date of the
bond is not affected
Here are some of the advantages.
In the first place, the soldier can
vary his bond purchases to suit the
condition of his pocketbook each
month, with out the confusion
caused by discontinuing one bond
purchase plan and starting new
one. Since the present plan COM
pleteS the transaction right within
the soldiers own organization, the
margin of error is practically elirni-
mated. Another advantage is the
Simplification of paper work when
the soldier leaves the Army, as
each purchase is completed at the
time of the p5y deduction, and
there is no necessity for assembling
a lot of records at a. central agency.
Changes of address must be re-
corded in the soldiers service record
overseas, and forwarded to the Army
War Bond Office by his organiza-
tion before the address ON bond
can be changed Thus, it is impor-
tant that co-owners and benefici-
aries leave proper forwarding ad-
dresses with the post office, and
wherever possible, maintain a per-
manent address. They should also
keep the soldier informed of any
change SO he can have it recorded
on the notification
The War Department has asked
that relatives of men overseas re-
frain from telephoning or writing
about nom delivery of bonds until
at least 90-day period has passed,
after the date on which they would
ordinarily expect delivery of the
bond. You can pass that request
along to save a lot of confusion.

A communication from Major
General William E. Shedd, COM.
manding general Ninth Service
Command, urging military per-
sOnnel to pay greater attention to
personal appearance has been
sent to all posts, camps and sta
tiOns in the command.
The visible demonstration of
esprit and fitness of command,
Gen. Shedd pointed out, is found
not only in the enthusiastic and
efficient performance of duty, but
also in smartness, neatness and
conformity to service require
ments in matters of dress and
military courtesy.
In order to insure proper au-
pearance on the part of all en-
listed personnel, hereafter all EN-
will be inspected as they 60 on
pass or furlOugh, and again when
they return. Men who do not pre-
sent a neat appearance win not
be allowed to depart, and those
who return IN an untidy 'condi-
ton will be disciplined.
