REYNOLDS BACK FROM
NAVAL ENLISTMENT
Earl O. Reynolds returned yester
day afternoon from Dremerton where
he enlisted April 18th as a mechanic
In the naval reserve. Mr. Uoynolds
received a discharge whon ho refused
to enlist In the service which would
compel him to serve In the navy In
any part of the world.
"I did not expect to enter the active
servico abroad" said Mr. Reynolds,
"when I enlisted, although If I had
been a single mnn I would have had
no objection. Upon my refusal I was
given a dlscharKO and received no pay
after the first of May. Several othor
boya were In a similar position. I did
mechanical work on board the Mar
blehead whllo there, and had no com
plaint either of my treatment or pay,
although I thought I should have re
ceived pay after tho first of tho
month. I published an affidavit
showing the conditions but It did no
good."
G. E. Purdln, who enlisted as a
blacksmith entered tho active service
and Is now on the Marlilohead which
)s en route to tho Atlantic coast. Jack
Schrick, former telegraph operator on
the Melford Sun, was transferred to
Astoria, and several other Oregon
boys wore discharged and aro on their
way home.
THE Fruit Growers Agency, representing the fmit
growei's of the northwest, affiliated with the Federal
Bureauof Markets of the Department of Agriculture, has,
sent out the following telegram to representatives in con
gress: "Fruit Growers Agency representing fruit Interests of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana urge our congressional representatives to confer
and make united effort wit! representatives from other fruit sections to
have government classify fresh fruit as food so as to secure transportation
preference and save our farm laborers from conscription. Without such
action our fruit industry is doomed. Letter follows. (Signed) J. B. Adams,
President."
The situation is pronounced critical, because of th . is
sues raised by the entrance of the United States into the
war as a belligerant. All shipments are to be classified,
and only essential products handled. Labor will be di
verted to the essential industries and transportation pro
vided for the necessaries only.
Under the emergencies occasioned by the war and the
food dictatorship, the classification of fresh fmit becomes
a matter of vital interest to the northwest. If fresh fruit,
apples, pears, peaches, etc., should be classified as a lux
ury, all the processes of production, shipping and market
ing would be injuriously affected. Orchard labor would
be subject to military conscription and fruit cars diverted
to commodities classified as necessities. Markets would
be curtailed and restricted to immediate vicinity. In
short, such a classification would spell ruin for the fruit
districts of the northwest so distant from their markets.
On the other hand, if fresh fruit is classified as an es
sential food product, as it ought to be, the advantage would
be correspondingly as great to the orchardists. It could
be given a place in the dietary of the military and market
ing and shipping facilities be assured.
To secure such a classification, every fruit grower in
the northwest is asked to write at once to senators and
representatives in congress to urge vigorous action to in
duce the federal authorities to classify fresh fruit as food.

TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS

at a meeting of the city's sinkinc
THE present war is not a war waged only between
armies and navies but between nations. Indeed
this war has now assumed the aspects of a struggle
between those nations on the one side who believe in
divine rights of ridel's and those on the other who believe
in the rights of the people between autocracy and de
mocracy. It is not only the army and navy that must be put in
shape but the entire nation. The co-ordination and mo
bilization of resources and industries for efficiency is just
as important lis the preparation ot an armed torce.
President "Wilson puts this idea into a few words in
his proclamation naming June 5 as registration day for
selective service:
"It Is not an army that wo must shape and train for war; it Is a nation.
To this end o r people must 'draw close In one compact front against a
common foe. Rut this cannot be If each pursues a private purpose."
"The whole nation must be a team In which each man shall play the
part for which ho Is best fitted. It Is a new thing In our history and a
landmark In our progress."
In oilier words all Americans must co-operate to make
the nation a unit against the common cnemv. Private
purposes must be discarded and not permitted to conflict
with the public purposes which make for effectiveness in
war.
Team play is what is needed and team play is what
must be had. Team play, however, is lacking ii congress,
where the leaders, republicans as well as democrats, are
pulling against each other and against the administration
and are not leading at all but oiuibbling, hesitating and
haggling under the Mnns and Kitchins, the ytones and
La I'ollcttes.
The majority of congress, as of the nation, are solidly
back of the president for a united nation and the sooner
it supplants present leaders, the sooner will America pre
sent the world an example ot team play that will discount
the hoastetl eltlciencv ot autoeracv.
