SATURDAY, MARCH 80, 1918. . WRITE TO THE BOYS. '.' Thousands ot persona on the Pa cific coast will remember Thomas E, Watt, a minister ol the Christian church, formerly educational dlrec tor of the Oakland Y. M. 0. A. and later a war work secretary at ira perial Beach, and Fort RoseoranB near San Diego. He heard the call to service In overseas work of the Y. M. C. A. and left for tno ironi. Ha l at Dinam Hut, Wlnnall Town, Winchester, gragland, and he makes a plea for friends at home to write letters to the soldiers. He eays that a letter from home is ,tne greatest agency In the world to keep the soldier - In good spirits. He says that It is the only thing ho hits round to keep him from getting homesick. In a recent lotter he says: "Men and women of tho home land you must keep this work in your hearts. You must write your boys. We, In Y. M. C. A. war work, are willing to work day and night to save the boys and keep them in touch with the best things in life, but you must put behind us every thing you have until this terrible trouble is over. The men are here. They are your own. They must be taken care of and there Is only one agency that can, In any measure, do the task. That one agency is your own representative, the Y. 31. C. A. Pray for all of us that we may be big enough for thel Job that has been given us." Nearly all the watch signs, prob ably 90 out of 100, have their hands set at 8:18, but comparatively few people know why this Is. It Is no accident. W. K. Washburn, ot New York, was painting a sign for a Jew eler of that city, when the news of the assassination of Abraham Lin coln, April 14, 1805, was received in New York and the Jeweler ordered i tho painter to point the exact' time when the fatal shot was II rod, name ly 8:18, and so it has continued ever since. Whenevor you see a Blgn aft er this recall to yourself that it points to the fatal moment. Get a little real taste of war by conserving food "till it hurts." Go ing Without dessert for a week at a time, ot eating a slice or two less of bread a day may hurt a little, but remember it's a life or a limb the boys at the front, are risking. Pain less - patriotism '-. wont 'help much. Cut down on wheat and sweets un til It hurts. It is hoped the fact that a shell from the long-range gun operating on. Paris, struck a religious gather ing yesterday will not have any ef fect on the regular attendance at Easter services tomorrow. But the fellow who Is looking for a good ( ? ) excuse to keep away from religious gatherings can now convince his wife of the "safety first'' policy. " Well, we wonder what the kaiser thinks about eating his Easter din ner in ParlB, as per his pre-arrangea program. Probably be will be satis fied with a lunch many miles to tho rear of the western front. It s been hard "picking" for the old boy tho past ten days. America must feed her associates In this war. They are no longer able to feed themselves, and unluss we come to the rescue, they ur-e face to face with starvation. Star vation for them means defeat for us. Don't waste food. Conserve. The human drive on the western front is still on but think of the wed'ge of souls It has taken and tho British lines yet uncracked. Watch your bread box carefully. A slice gone stale Is a slice wasted aud one less towards that hundred mil lion bushels of wheut we must save for our fighters and the allies. SENATE MILITARY CH MJTTEE INVESTIGATES WASHINGTON, March 28. Inves tigation into delay In the airplane niogram was begun, by the senute military committee today behind clos ed doors after duys of discussion in the senate which culminated in the assertion, by Senator Overman, ol North Carolina, that part of the trou ble was due to Germuh spies In the Curtlss plant, which has extensive government contracts.
