AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY Now Is the great opportunity of the American people to demonstrate that our' form of government is a success, says a recent Food Administration bul letin. "It is up to us, ever) one of us, to voluntarily and willingly get be hind those who are fighting and dying for us. It Is up to all of us to adjust every phase of our lives so that our every act and movement will be con sidered first as to Its effect upon our success In this war. This means we must consider, in its relations to the war, everything we buy and eat and wear, everything we do, no matter how infinitesimal the effect may seem. It Is the aggregate of infinitesimal things and units that make the great forces. "Just now we must particularly real ize that wheat 1b powder1 for the win ning of the war, and that It is the pres sing duty of each of us to saveand release every ounce of wheat possible for shipment overseas. Our realiza tion of this duty, and our thoroughness and universal participation in preform ing it, will be a test of the American people and of our government If we measure up to the expectations of the Food Administration in this food-saving test we will stand as a united de mocracy, fighting our way to final vic tory, and by our united support of the army and our allies, will prove the success and efficiency of our form of smcruiacau i uere can oe out. one , outcome of this war, and we must steal j ourselves for any misfortune, for any reverse, with our minds united and fixed upon the Idea of an uncomprom ising victory." It is vital that we realize that what we eat and even what we think and say are Just as decisive as machine gun fire In the trenches. BRITISH OFFICERS AID IN GAS DEFENSE Bcause of the instruction of gas officers who have been at the various camps for the last six months, the troops which are going forward to France are well posted on methods of combating gas attacks, says a state ment authorized by the War Depart- ment A group of British gas officers ,' has been In this country since last sum ' mer. One of these men has been at each of the training camps, advising and assisting the division gas officer. All , Vi mats fysilmn ... ... M4vu buiiis uvciscuh are sup plied with gas helmets. Under the di vision gas officers and their assis tants, the men aro drilled in tho use of masks, taught how to detect the presence of gas, and given actual ex perience with different sorts of gasses. Mimie gas shells and cloud attacks, Used often at night In connection with high explosives, help to make tho training realistic. The United States has been able to build on the experience of tho British and French, to whom gas at tacks were unknown when they en tered tho war. No American troops have been sent to the front without practical experience in defending themselves against gas. The training of instructors in gas defense includes a course of about one month. Most of the gas officers ure commissioned first lieutenants. BOY SCOUT WINS WAR SERVICE MEDM. The picture shows Wallace F.

Councils of home defense are being organized nnd the pro-German Is able to see the hand writing on the wall. Regardless of the declaration of high government officials that Ger man subjects must not be summnrily dealt with, Germans nnd German sympathizers are nble to determine the complexion of public sentiment nnd are not so willing to spread poi son.
