fTILL TANGLED.
There is as much lack of co
ordination in the propaganda of the
various bureaus at Washington as
there is in the other phases or then-
work. We are told that "food: will
win the war" which leaves the
necessary inference than the food
producer Is a direct war worker,
But when plans are made for award
ing service badges to men engaged
, in war work, it is ruled that only
those engaged on government con
tracts will be entitled to wear the
medal. The farmer who produces
the food to feed the soldier cannot
wear a war service medal, but ' the
tailor who outs cloth to make a uni
form will be presented with an in
signia of patriotism.
A few days ago tihe department
of labor Issue a statement that It
will protect the farmers against
losses of herp by the labor recruiting
ot- other Industries. Now conies the
food administration ' with the an
nouncement that "with men leaving
our farms in ever increasing mint
bers to engage in direct war work,
we probably see this year the holght
of our agricultural production." The
department of labor says it will pro
tect the farmen and then offers a
N service medal to those who will leave
the. farm and go to a concern having
any .kind of a war contract. Great
protection, that. . ,
The director general of rallroadn
BayB there Is an adequate supply of
cars, and the fuel administrator says
that coul t-rodurtion Is hindered by
lack of cars. And so it goes.
In some respects the pen may be
mightier than the sword but we seem
to be making more prograss with
the sword than we did with the pen,
in our conflict with German bar
barism, ,
Having suppressed the Salvation
Army In Germany, we suppose the
kaiser has given up nil hope of salva
tion jiust as his subjects began to gut
suspicious.
Summer has finally arrived judg
ing from the way the weather man Is
"hitting hor -up the past few days,
That dull sickening thud was von
Kuehlmann, dropped by the kaiser.
Is it German propaganda that puts
grass seod among the radish seed?
We must now make one teaspoon
Jul of coal do the work of two.
CALL FOR STENOGRAPHERS.
Word has been rocelved from
Provost Marshal General Crowder
asking that preparations be made to
fill a coming call for a large num
ber of good stenographers who have
had legal exporlenco. Only white
men In limited or special service clas
sifications will be accepted for these
positions. The stenographers taken
will probably ' be assigned to the
Judge advocate ganeral's department
andf the provost marshal general's
department and will be required to
report court martial cases and attend
to other matters pertaining to mili
tary law in the field.
The work, It is announced, will be
interesting and will give invaluable
experience to the- fortunate appli
cants. Registrants oliguric for this
work are urged to present thomselves
without delay to their local boards
to have tholr names listed for, the
service. However, no inductions will
be made until further ordors.

JOYING MILITARY LIFE
B&XICIA ARSENAL, Calif., Aug.
22. Expect you people think 1 am
dead, bfit I'm not. I'm as full of
"pep" us a canary bird. I aiu feel
ing fine and dandy au denjoying army
life. We didn't come here to train
we are over that stage, but we cuuie
here to guard this ilace. We have
It very easy here. 1 go on guard
every third1 uight; the rest of the time
1 do "bunk" fatigue, and believe me
I'm an artist at that. We drill three
hours a day, JuBt enough to keep us
from getting rusty. Some days we
take a little bike. We went to Val
lejo last Tuesday. Some of the fellows-
were "all in" when we got back,
but I wasn't. We are only 32 'miles
from Frisco on the S. P. Ry., near
the Siiiffun bay. Lienicia is a small
place about 1 miles from here. I
go to town when I'm not on duty.
They have a social in town once a
week for the soldiers and sailors and
I take them all In. They always
show us a good time. There Isn't
many sailors here; they come from
the Mare Island naval training sta
tion which is near here.
My "pal" and I got a 30-hour pass
last Monday evening and went to
Frisco for a visit. We saw two well
known Roseburg men roaming
around and had a short talk with
them. I don't know how long- we
will ptay here as I understand! we
are to be examined next week for
oversea service behind the lines. All
of the boys are crazy to go. There
are four Douglas county boys to
gether. They are Lester Harding, of
Olenuale; Ira Bernard, of Canyon-
vine; Jesse Ware and myself. How
is everything going In the office? If
I ever get a chance I'm going to come
for a visit, but don t know how soon
It will be. I guess the "burg" is
very dead now and a chance for it to
be deader. I still have the pipe the
force bought me before I left. Wll.,
old bo, will quit for this time. I've
told you 41 I can think of so give
the bunch my liest regards. I'll be
back one of these days and go to
work at the old job.
Sincerely,
RICHARD BUSCH,
