QUIT WASTEING PAPER ; 9 a Every Scrap rf Tbls Material IsI likable \ NECESSARY FOR PROSECUTION OF WAR " c In these momentous days when ev- t ery ounce ot our energy, when every e cent of our money, when every life if 1 a need be. is dedicated to the defeat of the Teutonic powers, there is no single act of a private individual so unimportant as not to have a bearing on the f outcome of the great enterprise that c we have undertaken. v This is a war not merely of lighting I men; it is a war of whole peoples. We ? are mobilizing our capital and our industries. our churches and our schools, c our entire and intricate social system. *1 The second line of defense enters our s very homes; it extends to our pantries r and to our coal Inns; it crosses every If avenue ol our domestic life. r Civilization demands the utter de- i struction of the German idea, and with I this purpose in mind we cheerfully ac- y ept any new sacrifice asked by our I government, whether it be the saving c of coal or gasoline, or doing without f sugar or wheat or any other com mod- r ity needed by our nation or by our a armies. \ We make these sacrifices the more 1 willingly because the departments h making them are wisely administered, s It must, indeed, have been an inspired moment in which our great leader, ('resident Wilson, chose Herbert Hoo- <i ver as food administrator. Mr- Hoo- d ver had already proved his great- t heartcdncss and his executive genius tl by creating and administering that h most merciful of organizations, the I Itdgi'in Itclicf commission. He has car- c ricd this genius into his present high ti office and has made himself beloved p by all peoples In all Allied lands, tl With the same sure wisdom the presl- b dent chose I?r- Hurry A. Garfield, that a great son of a great father, for fuel t administrator. The nation gladly fol- s lows such leadership as these men s typify. A New Request to Save. So closely are all peoples In all Alii...! i-in.iu Pound together, so com- j plete has the organization of our resources become, that we are scarcely surprised now to have our government n tell us that we must save paper, and J( that by living paper we can help save t the lives of our boys at tha front. The paper industry is enormous. This industry alone requires hundreds (. of millions in capital and needs the services of scores of thousands of la- M borers for its maintenance. There is a (j demand in this industry for nearly 25,000,000 tons of freight, that must be moved annually in and out of the mills. Translated into other terms. 0 this means a million carloads yearly. 0, Ten million tons of coal are used in jv the manufacture of this commodity t| Again, the manufacture of paper jt means the use of chemicals precious ^ in the making of munitions. Therefore by so much as we save paper, by p (just so much we release chemicals, j, (coal, capital, cars, and labor for more essential, more pressing war-necessi- 0) ties. 01 Why You Should Save Paper. H I<et us get down to direct cases. I>o you know that every time you |? use a sheet of paper unnecessarily you n, are depriving the government of caus- n. tic soda, sulphur and potash?chemt- tl cals sorely needed in the manufacture q| of "T. X. T.." the most powerful explosive used in the war? tl. Do you know that every time you waste white pa|?er you are wasting the jh chlorin needed for the poison-gas that u protects our boys?the poison-gas that c< is beating Germany at her own fiend- is ish game? Do you know that when you destroy is a pile of paper you are destroying the si equivalent of several pounds of coal? ai tor it takes from one to three pounds H i>t coal to produce a i?nind of jmper? gi v" cmi m-nlmhiv lio not know these r< things?none of us did until the govI eminent told us. Sow, however, the w war industries hoard has placed the d< facts before the people and has re- a| quested the nation to save paper. It tt requests the people of America to save lt< not merely in a casual and superficial th way. but to save systematically, inten- pi sively. religiously, with the sure knowl- ol edge that every scrap of paper so sav- tied is a direct act of service to our tfi army. pi How to Save Paper In the Home. v< Innumerable ways will suggest w themselves to you. Of course the simplest rule is "use as little of it as you p< possibly can." Write on both sides of is a sheet Instead of only one. Save the dc blank sheets of letters and circulars tii and use them in place of pads- Instead dc of throwing away or burning up your P' empty oatmeal box or your sugar, cof- tr fee. or cornstarch boxes, save them ce with your old newspapers and wornout paper bags and dispose of them to the to Salvation Army or to the Junkman or nc to any one who will send them back <*'< to the paper mills to be remade into th paper or paper product*. 111 Above and beyond all. don't burn your waste paper. It Is little lees than treason to do this when paper Is so Ci scarce. And do not light a bonfire in a which there are wood, old rags, or pa- sii per in any form. Waste paper and rags th are two of the most important ele- v' ments In the manufacture of new pa- to per. If Housewives can further help by using baskets when marketing and not having their purchases wrapped except hi when necessary for the protecting 01 the goods. A paper bag saved is a w paper bag made. Use your bags again and again. If every shopper saved a h< bag a day it would be equivalent to an b< output of twenty million bags a day. of Twenty million bags produced and not m a tree cut down, not a pound of coal mined or consumed, not an ounce of chemical used or a hand turned over <?< to produce them. tr The government needs this co-oper- hr ation on the part of the housewives, w It needs all paper?every scrap?for remanufacture into shell wrappings, tb for packing soldiers' food and cloth- w ing. for questionnaires, for correspondence. for soldiers' letters. ht The Schools Can Help. la The government has acknowledged wl in many ways the Indebtedness it owes to the schools?teachers and pupils stj alike?for the aid and practical co-op- an erntion they have given to the government in every war enterprise- DNow again this vast school army can tm help the government in its new and an pressing problem. The children can a assist in placing the facts concerning on paper before their parents. They can pa organize "paper-saving squads." and ar they can carry out the saving In their th wn homes. They can watch thewasteaskets; they can save wrapping paper nd strings: they can see to it that oth at home and at school the old cribbling habit is stopped and that he slate is substituted for the pad. 'hose who bring their lunches to chool should be sure that they are iever done up in paper. We wish to make this appeal espeially to the hundreds of thousands of ioys and girls who will study the Litrary Digest this year and to the ten housand high schools where this magizine is used as a text in the classoom.

October 12.?During an attack it is of vital importance that a regular supply of ammunition and other necessaries should reach the men in the trenches, and these, together with reserves, ere usually brought up as close to the lines as possible by motor transport. Consequently during an attack it is one of the chief duties of the Royal Air Force to locate these streams of transport behind the German lines and either hamper their movements by means of bombs and machine gun lire, or signal to our gunners and let them do the work. Troops on ttic- march are also attacked and many a piece of German line has been lost through the non-arrival of supporting troops who have been scattered by an aeroplane's machine guns. A pilot recently patrolling on the other side of the German line noticed on one particular road a convoy of lorries and a long column of hurrying troops. It was the work of a few moments iu striiu uui a auuc tun iu mi' ners behind our lines, and shortly afterward shells began to fall amidst the convoy. Through the smoke and dust the pUot could dimly discern a struggling mass, and when the pall cleared the torn road, littered with shattered lorries and dotted with motionless bodies, showed that the shells had been effectiveAs the pilot gazed upon the scene of his handiwork, anti-aircraft guns took up the tale, dotting the sky with brown and white puffs of high explosive shrapnel. Ignoring these, he commenced to count the damaged lorries, but in the midst of his calculations another convoy came into view, Once more he sent out a call to all the batteries within reach and again the smoke of destruction descended over the country- Before the shellflre ceased yet a third stream of motor wagons hove in sight. fearing that another signal to the guns before the second target had been effectively dealt with, might cause confusion, he put down the nose of his machine and Hew along the line of the latest arrivals, scattering his bombs impartially down the string. One of ihe bombs scored a palpable hit. and the resulting explosion showed that at least some of the lorries carried ammunition. A Hume leaped high into the air, a deafening roar reached the ear of the pilot and a mass of tangled iron and woodwork ascended heavenward. And when the cloud cleared away he saw that the road was blocked and that it would be some considerable time before any of the undamaged transport eould return. He then decided to liven matters un a little, and turning about, dropped to within a eouple of hundred feet of the ground and turned his machine gun against the harassed survivors. It was only the sight of a still better target, a battalion of infantry, which made him give up his work. Placing a fresh drum of ammunition on his gun, he raked the close ranks of the marching troops until they broke their formation and scattered in all directions. The pilot then searched out isolated groups, and contemptuous of the rifle Are of the remainder, continued to attack the enemy until his nupt.U>*of-nmmunltion was exhausted. Then and not until then did he return to his aerodrome and count the holes in his planes. There were forty in all, but as he had also counted at least half that number of wrecked lorries he felt that he had done n good morning's work in the airPORTO RICAN LABOR. Facts About the Recent Importation to New Orleans. The first labor to be imported by the United States government has reached New Orleans?1,241 Porto (Means, who will be used on the $20,000,000 army depot warehouse system that rnuH be completed by Christmas. They reached New Orleans on September 24, on a transport, just one week out from Porto Rico. It cost the government about $25 apiece to bring them here, it is estimated. The government, however, is under no obligation to take them back. Most of the men left families behind them, and they are talking of bringing them hero as soon as nosslblc. so the nnssihilities are there will he a large Porto Kican colony in Louisiana, as in New York. .

Organized labor in New Orleans resents the importation. Labor leaders claim there is no shortage of manpower, and they are especially fearful lest this be an attempt to "bear" the labor market. Major Lee, however, has stated that such is not the intention, and he has further declared that no one will be displaced for the sake of the imported laborers. Some 50,000 more Porto Ricans are anxious to come to this country, it is understood- The island is terribly overpopulated. and economic conditions are said to be frightful. Wages range from 50 cents to $1 a day. and hunger is the principal possession of the low er ciawri. .mom 01 me men in mc present shipment show the effects of malnutrition. How the experiment will turn out no one knows. If favorably, it is probable that there will be further importations of Porto itican labor especially for agricultural interests. GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
