The Army's Peace Service In the United States more than in any other country the military forces are made of practical use in time of peace as well as an effective agency for protection in time of war. This is not a newly adopted policy it has been our policy from the be- ning. eee ie not be commonly known but it is a fact as recently pointed out by Secretary of War Weeks, that the United States army had charge of con- struction of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, the rie canal, and in more recent times, the Panama € . he first two were entirely peace enter- prises. Although the Panama canal was construct- ed in part as a military undertaking in order to facilitate passage of battleships from coast to coast | yet a greater purpose was the shortening of the) route for merchant vessels. \ Our war department took the lead in construc tion and operation of telegraph lines as it has taken the lead in construction and operation of systems of radio communication. Although these activities were essential to the military service they have been rendered of value to the commercial and | social needs of the country. The war department} has had charge of improvement of rivers and har- bors ostensibly as a miiltary undertaking. but in| reality for promotion of transportation. In many | other particulars the war department has served | the country in time of pe: tem of regulations under which i calamity such as earthquake, flood or di fire, all of the personnel and material in the af- fected district shall be immediately devoted to re lief of suffering. On numerous occasions the value of this service has been illustrated and relief has | been afforded when it could not have been other- wise secured. Through its health service the war department cleared Havana of yellow fever which had ravaged it for 150 years, and redeemed the people of Porto| Rico from the hookworm plague. The Panama canal wone was transformed from a zone of disease to 2 health resort. Following the Great War, in which our chemical warfare service had its chief devel. opment, the war department turned its attention to protection of miners and has produced the only substance suitable for their protection against the deadly carbon monoxide. The weather bureau was created and developed by the signal corps which still co-operates with the bureau. The air service is co-operating with the| } agriculture department in extermination of the boll | , weevil, the experiments in spraying fruit trees from the air, and in warfare against other agri- cultural pests. The air service aids in protection of forests from fire and has recently rendered val- uable service in sowing tree seeds over large areas now barren, which work could not be undertaken ¢ in any other way without months of tedious work and huge expense. The war department has in time of peace turned over to the bureau of public roads large quantities of tools, vehicles and supplies for road construction and improvement; has aided in establishment of high standards in breeding both riding and draft horses and has led the way in the development of the most practical types of tractors for heavy duty over open ground as well as on roads. In other countries military forces render serv- ice to their peoples in time of peace in some of the} particulars mentioned above, but in no country is the army rendered of use in so many ways as in : the United States, ; Our Obli gation Our internationalist editors, story writers and lecturers are very flippant in their use of terms. Such words as “isolation” “aloofness” and “deser. tion” are applied to the attitude of the United States with the utmost nonchalance. With reckless abandon we are told that we should rush to the ald of Europe and rescue those countries from the chaos that impends. Probably not one of those writers and talkers has a single specific suggestion ns to the form such aid and rescue should take which he would dare advocate before a typical American audience. The loose generalities in which they indulge have a beneficent sound to the public ear, and in the public mind have a sort of de- tached relation to the government at Washington. Probably not one person in a thousand stops to consider what the United States would have to do to clear up the European situation or what sac- rifice it would bring to him personally. Ts it not about time for our alien propagandists fo abandon their appeals for sympathy and get ‘lown to facts and figures? Disregarding for the moment the enormous contributions the United WHET NEPE NT A EeOE NT ERT ER KN TORT ETE UTE RE EO er 1 States has already made toward the rehabilitation of Europe, the huge accretions of territory and | natural wealth which the allies won as a result of the war, and the refusal of this country to ac- cept any of the spoils of war, just what is the ob- ligation which those people conceive we now owe to Europe? Do they wish us to cancel the $11,000,000,000 debts owed by Europe to the United States treas- | among settlers in their relationships with the gov- CePET DEERE HHED Dee S urdly hide behind a =.

If so, let them declare themselves and can- didly tell the’ people what they think it would cost them in men and money to make the Fraco-German boundary secure. | Do they want the United States to accept Ger- man bonds in lieu of the allied debt obligations | now held by our treasury, and then look to Ger- many for future payment of those bonds? That scheme has been suggested abroad more than once, and would undoubtedly bring great relief to Europe. If that is their plan let the propagandists boldly advocate American reorganization of Ger- man finance, the stationing of American tax collec- tors in all the German ports and cities, and what- ever else may be necessary to get our moncy back. Do they want an American army sent to drive the French out of the Ruhr? If so, let them come forth and urge such a program upon American mothers and taxpayers. Do they want us to join the league of nations and perform the onerous duties under the covenant that have been shirked by every one of its signers? If so, let them have the courage to demand such a course from the 16,000,000 voters who denounced that instrument in 1920. Tf those suggestions do not include the program of the European aiders and rescuers at the expense of the United States, will they please give us en- lightenment? No matter what further “aid” may be extended, the price has got to be paid by Ameri- can men and women, by American taxpayers, and producers. It is only fair to them that they be given some inkling of what is in store. Standing Firm It is greatly to be deplored that our state depart- ment finds it necessary from time to time to correct misinformation regarding our foreign policy, caus- 1 by untrue reports sent to Europe from Amer- | ie: sources. When these erroneous reports, re- peatedly sent to Europeait newspapers, are shown to be wholly without foundation, it is difficult to escape the conviction that they are deliberately concocted for the purpose of embarrassing the United States government and injuring our posi- tion among the great nations of the earth. The department of state has made its position clear in language which permits of no doubt except in the mind of one who is determined not to under- stand. The address delivered by Secretary Hughes at New Haven was a carefully prepared, a clearly worded and a statesmanlike address. It was x timely presentation of the attitude of the United States government toward European problems. All fair-minded men haye accepted it as defining the fixed policy of our government. It has met almost universal approval in this country and it certainly merits approval. No one has undertaken to criticise it openely and directly, but, unfortunately, there have been crafty, indirect attacks upon it by per sons who insinuate that the administration enter- tains views in conflict with those expressed in the New Haven address. Continued transmission of reports to Europe that the United States has a secret intention of adopting policies other than those publicly stated can have no other effect than that of creating an unfavorable opinion of our government and its of- ficial spokesmen. Since that is their effect it is difficult to believe that they have any other pur. pose. In view of the continued and persistent cam- paign of gnisrepresentation and the obviously in- jurious effects of that misrepresentation among the peoples of other countries, there ought to be some means of identifying and exposing the au- thors of the false reports in order that they may he held up to that, public condemnation which, ap- parently, can be their only punishment, however inadequate that punishment may be. Reclamation Program The construction period of the reclAmation sys tem having largely passed, the government is now centering its attention upon the effort to make ir- rigation farming on government projects satisfac- tory to the settlers from the standpoint of operat ing costs and operating income. While there are yet some irrigation projects to be completed and) others will be undertaken, yet the great problem remaining is not so much one of construction as of operation. It is common knowledge in the western states that construction costs of government reclamation projects were higher than anticipated. In fact, it would be difficult to find a project which was con structed within the limit of cost estimated by gov ernment officials before the work was undertaken. Many settlers, who are called upon to pay the cost of construction as they pay for the land, have felt that they were not treated quite fairly by the gov ernment. It was known, of course, that estimates were not finally binding. Nevertheless, settlers feel injured when called upon to pay more than they ex- pected to pay when they went upon the land. Since most of the settlers on the reclaimed land are still making their deferred installment pay- ments, and will be making them for many years to come, the government feels a special obligation to do what it can to help them produce crops at as | low a cost as possible and to market those crops at the best price obtainable. In the hope of better accomplishing this the department of the interior has put a practical business man in charge of the reclamation bureau with an understanding that he will direct his attention particularly to the ac- complishment of several important reforms. First of these is the reduction of overhead costs—costs of supe! ion and administration. In this respect the government has a large measure of power. In other respects the government’s part in agricul tural activities on reclamation projects must be largely advisory and through voluntary co-opera tion. It is planned to aid in securing the establish ment of creameries, sugar factories, packing plants and other industries which will serve the needs of the settlers on reclamation projects and extend their dependable markets for their products. The reclamation bureau will also co-operate in finding | markets and in shipping commodities so that there shall be a minimum of marketing expense and a maximum of return to the producer. Tn addition to this work that has been under-| taken for the special benefit of settlers on proj-/ ects already constructed, the department of the | interior under the management of Secretary Work has given instructions that where future projects | are undertaken great care shall be exercised to see that the cost of construction is accurately cal culated so that when the work is completed an un expected and unestimated burden shall not rest up. on the water users by reason of underestimation of the construction cost. The effective adoption of that policy will mean a more general satisfaction ernment. It is intended that in the future no project will nnual erops which they can reasonably expect to produce, : Church Dedication DOUGLAS — The church has been completed and the members of the organization used the edifice for the first time for the serv- ices last Sunday.

Evening finds the flapper dressed in organdy, mull or French voile cut in simple manner with slender bodice and full skirt. Garish metalic and beaced effects are not for her. For dances at the country clubs she varies crisp organdies with pas- tel chiffons of fairy-like frills. Even the youthful “bob” is losing itq popularity—changing from the Fiji Islander effect to the center part, with buns over the ears. Those who cleave to bobbed hair wear theirs without a sign of a permanent wave but cut short in boyish fashion with straight bangs over the forehead. Often the hair is cut so short that tips of the ears show. One wonders what has taken the “flap” out of flapper. Perhaps she refured to compete with the kitten- ish matrons one sees in sleeveless gowns, bobbed hair, sandals, etc. At any rate, she has become a cun- ning, girlish little thing with a de cidedly feminine slant toward life and we love her for it. True Flapper of Late Summer Is ‘A Demure Thing BY HEDDA HOYT Fashion Editor of the United Press (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 23—Though batiks have a way with them, the flappers say “away with them.” Brilliant colored batiks, Egyptian prints and huge figured effects have no place in the wardrobe of the average flapper. Consensus of flap- per opinion seems to be that blatant effects are not for youth, but for women with sufficient bulk to carry BIG AUCTION 5S2LE ‘There will be a big auction sale at 234 South David Saturday afternoon at 2 p. m. of household furniture, rugs, bedding, cooking utensils, dishes glassware, etc. Harned Furniture Co, 234 8.
