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

GERMAN PROPAGANDISTS
WEEDED OUT IN SOUTH
Many Arrests of Alien Enemies
Taken'as Warning by Pro
Germans. German propaganda Is gradually be
ing weeded out In the South. German
sympathizers are less numerous than
formerly.
Coats of taf nnd feathers' adminis
tered In some sections of the country,
notably in the Southwest hnve had a
beneficial effect. 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. Numerous arrests of alien enemies
have been made In Jacksonville, Bir

1 left Springfield March 27, and got,th,rlnK ,ho 8011001 ycnr'
' to Portland that night. Tho next morn
!lng I found Goo. Gross. Mr. Somley
and wife and little boy making a party
of soven with myself nnd two boys. Wo
left In the morning for Spokano and
saw some nlcn country nlthouch moat
of tho way a Jack rabbit would have
to carry his rations if ho had any.
After we crossed the line, I say we
for there wero about 60 now Canadians
wmi uu..u.,0. . ,ul
of timber along tho road from Spokane -
to the Rockoys in Canada. About three
o clock in the afternoon wo came out
on the prairie to a town called Carn-
uruunu.ui u. u. a nice nine town
with tho wind blowing 60 miles an
hour. It did not care whose hat it
blow off. Tho people seemed to bo
busy every way you looked. Well
that was whore wo got the first good
look at the Rockoy Mts. Iasked a
mounted police how far it was to the
Rockcys and he said 93 miles, and
yet they did not look 25 miles away.'
Whiter snow no one ever saw and thoy
ookou very nign to me.
Wo rodo for
an hour or two before we lost sight
of them. About dark wo camo to them
again but they did not look nearly as
nice as they did when the sun was
shining on them. Wo got to the
j Crowsnest pass B. C. about 9 o'clock at
night with two big mountain engines
on, oven then we could keep up walk
ing some of the time. There was lots
of snow there but the day was very
warm. '
Wo got to Maclead Alta, at 12:50
that night. Tho next morning tho sun
camo up clear. But in about an hour
a black cloud appeared In the north
and by 9 o'clock it was snowing some
thing fierce but was not very cold.
Tho snow stuck to everything It hit.
It only stayed on the ground ono day.
wo .ioaueu up our baggage and
started for a 20 mile ride. We arrived
at the ranch In tho evening. Mr. Gross
