What further re-awakenings of German conscience may we expect when an army of four million Americans, one huge symbolic shotgun, is aimed and fired point-| bls: <t Berlin? TE Se Ea et BUYING A BIGGER BOND Committees on bond sales thruout the country report a larger sale of one-huridred-dollar bonds than in for- mer campaigns. . The smaller buyers, finding that payment for the fifty- dollar bond came so easy, now order their hundred-dollar bond as nonchal- antly as they do their morning cup of coffee. Apparently “Giving till it hurts” is like. the little boy’s giraffe—there ain’t no such animal!” WAR SERVICE FOR CONVICTS Agitation in favor of giving the in- mates of jails, reformatories and prisons a chance to help win_the war continues to grow. Burdette G. Lewis, Commissioner of Charities and Cor- rections of New Jersey, has worked entia plan which hes been to ‘the War Department, and h is to be tried out as rapidly as pos- sible in New Jersey before being put into general operation throughout the country. Mr. Lewis’ plan wow prisoners the same ‘work or fight’’| principle applied to the rest of the na- tion’s manpower. It calls for five steps, > rn First, it provides for the classifica- tion of the estimated.400,000 inmates | of corrective institutions according to their mental, physical, moral and in- dustrial fitness., Second, it calls for their organization: into military and industrial units. Third, it asks) for a training camp for those deémed fit for military service and the ofrma-/ tion of a division of soldiers from the men so trained. The fourth point outlines the essential war work that could be done by, the industrial units such work as road and railroad build- ing, canal and ditch digging, drainage and agricultural work both in this country or, behind the lines in France. Fifth, the plan suggests that citizen-| ship be restored after the war to those men who have made good, who have been honorably discharged from. the army or who have received awards for.distinguished service, There are advantages and,disadvan- tayes in this plan. There are many details that would have to be worked out by experts. The classification of the.men would be a colossal task in itself, and their subsequent training would have to be divided between the military authorities and the institu- tional authorities, according to the service the men were in. Some, too, would provably. have to work under guard within the cprrectional institu- tions. Military’ discipline, prison. self-governmentjand -prison. discipline would have to be harmonized. In any case jt is a big job for ex- perts. But everybody who believes 3 man once convicted of a felony may still have it within himself to make good and to repair the wrong he has done society, and who believes that such, a\man has aright to some chance to start afresh, will watch the mgve- ment with interest and good will. ——90 ATHLETICS ON WAR BASIS college athletics is coming in for! @ Z00d deal of discussion and a little) wnxiety, now that the higher. institu-| tions of learning have become mili- tary. training centers. Some institutions ‘have definitely! decided to’abandon this season's foot-! ball: schedules... Confusion has been created in Pacific Coast Athletics by, this molicy,on the part.of some of the prominent eoleges, while still others | want te go on with the program. ' The War. Department has announc-| ed, that it has not requested and does not desire that football schedules be fosthall enthusiasts ‘as.to everybody met ra Id apply to; made many friends among che boys who rode the range, many of whom | have since become prosperous i. the} livestock industry, and where the name Asbury had quite too arsto-| cratie tangle for them. to handle, so! the nondeplume of “Tom” was tied to him, which has held ever since. A little later he took a herd of cattle into Uinta county and then and | there decided that the occupation of a cowpuncher was a trifle toe strenu- \'ous,-so he located in Evanston ard in 1896 engaged in the mercautile | business in Hilliard, a town that is now off the map because of a change in the line of the Union Pacific when the, Aspep tunnel was, completed. While at Hilliard he also estab- else that the military work will come rst. Herein lies some hope for a return of college athletics to a saner place in the college life. The War Depart- |ment from the beginning has recog- nized the value of outdoor games for the army. Football, baseball, boxing and other vigorous sports have been | given a regular place in the training \camps. They will undoubtedly be re- \tained in the student army training | schools, and intho-mural athletics will | come into its own. : Maiiy schools in recent years have |been struggling to develop such ath- \leties, to get every man in the school {into some form of healthful sport {ingtead of training the few for inter- ‘eollegiate contests. The system that | stands the military test now will have much in its, favor when the college return to a peace-time basis.

Japanese Bank Bursting with Coin TOKIO, Sept. 5. — (By Mail).— When Japan entered the war in 1914 the deposits in her, postal saving® banks totalled $100,886,000.. Today the $250,000,000 mark has been pass- ed, it is announced by the department of communications, The depositors have increased in number from 12,- 970,907 to 18,464,481. These banks were established in 1875. After a third of a century, in June, 1908, the $50,000,000 mark was reached. The war's effect is pat-| ent: in January, 1917, the level of $150,000,000 was attained, and in Qc- tober, 1917, deposits. amo ¥to $200,000,000. The Average déposits have grown from $7.75 to $3.35. PL! SEEN SIT HIGH ALTITUDE MEN HAVE BEST TEETH IN ARMY , [By Associated Press.] CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 8.—Draft registrants called here from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico,. Ne- vada. and.other inland states have better teeth than the men from the coast states of Washington, Oregon and California, accordiig to data just compiled by Col. C. R, Wolven, chief of the dental corps here, “Eighty-five per cent of all draft men brot here need dental attention, and, get it,” said Colonel Wolven. | “Ninety per cent of the men from the three coast states need- work -how- ever, against 80 per cent of those coming from interior states.” No reason for the variagce in the condition of the teeth of men from different. sections. has been One theory. is that there is.more lime and, mineral in the water of the | inland states and another that the shifting population of the large ¢oast cities may cause men to become more neglectful than those living at per- manent homes. No soldier at Camp Lewis need | suffer with toothache longer than the time it takes him to, reach any. one | of a dozen infirmaries in cam x the base hospital. Joiee| the camp and treatment may be had } at any hour. Army officers appreciate the fact that many ills of fhe: body are due to bad teeth and from the time a man his teeth are looked after. When he enters the army until he is discharged first enters camp and goes to the mustering office for physical examj- nation, the new recruit finds his} thouth ‘the first thing looked at, If he needs work done a note is made by the dental surgeon who examines the teeth and later the new soldier | finds himself called upon to report at one of the two big dehtal labora- tories.

It includes many things which are luxuries to the soldiers of the foreign armies. | that, it only costs 32 cents a day to feed a soldier. The figure is low be- ~ause the government has the advan- tage of dealing in billions of tons where the individual deals in dollars end pounds. Even so, the army has felt the increased cost of living be- sause it cost only 12.81 cents a day to feed a soldier during the Spanish war, Take into account the almost stag-| gering sums the government has} spent for food alone since the war! began: «$87,000,000 worth of flour, 514,000,000 worth of sugar; $45,-| 900,000 worth of bacon; $12,000,000 | worth of beans; $9,000)000 worth of| canned tomatoes, $3,000,000 worth of rice. It sounds almost ‘like a food bill-for & nation. { Without any disparagement what-| ever of the rationing system of the) 20-belligerents. it may be said that while the food of the British sol- lier. compares favorably with that of his American cousin, the French ration is less acceptable to the Amer- ican and that of the Italians would get a very cold reception. The equipment: of , the soldier. is no. up to standard; than his food: the beginning of the war the govel it has spent $126,- 300,006 for shoes. Only recently a, sontract was let which is intended to keep, every $0 with two. pairs— one for marching and one for general wear. The price in quantity of mil- lions avas well, over $1 to $5.0 puir.
