Washington, Aug. 8. America must
set herself for a tremendous struggle if
Germany is to be overwhelmed. Hun
dreds of thousands of troops must be
sent to France. Railroad engineers
and supplies must be hurried to Russia.
Fuel matt be supplied to Italy. Other
wise hope of crushing the great Teuton
military machine will dwindle month
by month and the war will be indefi
nitely -prolonged.
This was the message brought the
government here today by members of
the American commission to Russia, re
turning from their long and historic
trip. Russia, they report, is safe. She
will survive her present difficulties
and today is doing more in a military
wav to win the war than America,
The return of the commission found
all government departments, however,
ready to respond to the tremendous
demands they face.

Government . Ready
to fix Prices For
America and Allies
Washington, Aug. 8.- The govern
ment is taking steps not only to fix
prices on supplies for the allies, but to
lay vigirous hands on agencies in the
country now holding up prices on food
stuffs for tho populace.
President Wilson is centering ninety
per cent of his working time on the
great question of equitable distribu
tion of food and supplies at reasonable
prices. .
Millions of dollars, according to fed
eral experts, have been lost because of
delay in establishing prices on these
necessaries, due to a recalcitrant
senate.
Consumers, they say, are buying
their goods day by day and in many
cases meal by meal. There is much
suffering. As soon as the food con
trol bill is signed they promise many of
the present soaring prices will drop.
The federal trade commission is com
pleting e sweeping food probe t the
inquest of the president. Early reports
show startling revelations in manipula
tion of many necessaries, among them
canned goods.
Women's Organizotions
. Asked to Unite In
Forming Central Body
The women's committee of the Na
tional Council of Defense has written
Mrs. Edmund F. Carleton of this city
asking her to act as temporary chair
man to call together the presidents of
all women's Organizations of Salem.
Tho plan is to form an organization
that will link together all existing or
ganizations. As soon as this central or
ganization is perfected, the national
committee will send full instructions
as to the work expected. One phase will
be registering the women so as to have
in definite form the voluntary, training
capacity and willingness tor service ot
the women of the city. The registration
is official being sent out by the wo
men's committee of Washington, D. C.
with the approval of the war census
bureau.
As prompt action is urged, Mrs-
Carleton has called the meeting Friday
evening of this week, August 10j 7:34
p. m., in the auditorium of the city li
brary. It is requested that the presi
dent of each women's organization of
the city bo present, including church,
fraternal, grange, W. C. T. U., club,
parent teacher, and all other organiza
tions that receive their mail at Salem.
In case the president is not able to
be present, she is requested to send

Merril Penn May Be
First Salem Boy To
Be Landed In France
Merril Penn, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. T- Penn of this city, who is a mem
ber of battery B, Sixth regiment field
artillery, is believed to be the first
Salem boy to reach Franee since the
war broke out. He left an Atlantic port
on July 29 and if he arrived safely he
has been in the land of the Fleur de
Lis several days. In a message to his
parents shortly before he left he says
the transports were to be convoyed by
a large squadron of men o' war.
Private Penn served four years in
the navy and was aischarged a few
days before war was declared; he im
mediately enlisted in the field artil
lery on the day war was declared and
says he likes the new work immensely.
Ue is engaged in the signal corps de
partment and was first stationed at
Fort Vancouver when it was full of re
cruits. Shortly after he visited his par
ents here he was sent to Fort McDow-
Camp Meeting at
Fourteenth Near Marion
The morning devotion opened with
prayer. Evang Jackson gave a Bible
reading on Six Reasons for Bible Holi
ness, as follows: The Bible teaches it
God commands it, Jesus died to give
it, those who had it, we can have it, we
need it.
In the afternoon, Rev. W. G. Johns
ton, pastor of the Free Methodist
church, preached. He deseriminated
clearly be tween the justified and the
sanctified life, and the relations of the
spirit, soul and body.
Mr. Hockett led the evening song'
service. The Highland quartet sane
an excellent selection, entitled, "A Sin
ner, Saved by Grace." Evang Jackson
preached. His discussion dealt with
both modern and old fashioned or real
revivals, showing how far the present
age nas united irom the old lines. He
closed by giving the text from John
3-7, "Ye must be born again." Some
prayed through in the after service.
Come and hear Evan. K. H. Jackson,
you will not be disappointed.

against the unknown heirs of David

It is reported that William Per
lich, of this city, who was scheduled
to leave an American port for France
a few days ago, saw some excitement
before he got out of the harbor as the
transport on which he was to travel
across the Atlantic was rammed and
a hole about twenty five feet long torn
in its bottom. However, Private Per
lich w'ith others was safely landed
and placed on board another boat, or
perhaps another story would have to
