Any Necessaries Covered. 1is attention is called through the ce of the food administrator to tion 6 of that law, the provisions which are as follows: “That, from time to time, when- sr the president shall find it es- itial to license the distribution of y necessaries, in order to carry fo effect any of the purposes of this , and shall publicly so announce, person shall, after a date fixed in 5 announcement engage in or carry any such business specified in the fnoucement of importation, manu- bture, storage, mining, or distribu- n of any necessaries as set forth in sh announcement unless he shall sure and hold a license issued pur- ant to this section.” The same section provides further at the president shall have the au- ority to prescribe regulations gov- ning the persons to whom such li- nses shall be issued and the re- Lirements for systems of accounting, d the filing of reports. In the face of these provision re- ilers will hesitate before refusing to -operate with the food administra- r in his efforts to accomplish a re- 1ction in the retail prices of neces- rles commensurate with the prices ted for the wholesaler. Active investigations by local boards trade and chambers of commerce 111 have a wholesome and deterring 'ect upon ‘the ‘gentlemen’s agree- ents” of local merchants under hich the greed of the retailer has sen the sole excuse, and his power force payment has constituted its nly justification. Th policy of the food administra- lon heretofore has been one of ami- bility. its power to obtain the part of the producers and erchants of the country in the en- brcement of the spirit of the law, nd a large majority of those who ave come within its influence have lallen into line. TIts dealings, how- ver, have been largely with the pro- ucers and wholesalers, who are di- ectly affected by the letter, as well a3 by the spirit of the law. the the ! fell | Women!

The money the government pa a private soldier is not much to main- tain a family, so outside aid is needed in many cases. The Edgewater creche, near Englewood, N. J, is doing what it can to help, and the picture shows two of the children it is caring for while their soldier fathers are “doing their bit” for their country. ‘ENEMIES WITHIN MUST BE GRUSHED for Vigorous Campaign | New York, Sept. 20.—The menace of “enemies within” with their sedi- tious, traitorous and treasanable pro- | paganda written and spoken, in news- | papers and by soap box orators, was ! the subject of patriotic speeches yes- terday at a luncheon given in the | McAlpin Hotel by the American De- | fense society. About 200 men were at the luncheon, and speeches were | made by James M. Beck, Rev. Dr. Thomas F. Gailor, Protestant Episco- pal Bishop of Tennessee, and Cleve- land Moffett, chairman of the Vigil- | ance Committee on Alien Enemies and ‘i Traitors. Richard M. Hurd, chairman of the Board of Trustees, presided. Mr. Hurd struck the keynote of the PRESIDENT’S AID GOES INTO ACTION and callouses on the bot- tom of vour feet, but why care now?

He denounced the pacifists, anarchists, socialists, conscientious objectors, anti-militar- ists, the I. W. W., so-called Friends of Irish Freedom, and declared that they all had a single aim—to cripple and prevent this country from win- ning the war with Germany. His ad- was roundly applauded. Cleveland Moffett, the next speaker, was cheered when he rose. He spoke of what he called his “little patriotic adventure” in breaking up a meet- ing of the Friends of Irish Freedom at Broadway and street, and told how small beginning a great against seditious speakers and journalistic traitors had begun and w becoming nation wide. He warned his hearers that the sedition mongeres and traitors were numerous and active and formed a menace that should be put out of business without delay. Mr. Moffett Thirty-seventh from that made an earnest ap- peal to all to forget every other thing that might seem important and concentrate their energies and re- sources in stamping out the fires of treachery and treason any tyrany which Germany was keeping up all over the country. “'l tell you”, he concluded, “that if we will rouse ourselves, if we will stand together and organize vigilance corps all over this country, we may do a service that will be of incalcuable value in winning this war for liberty and for humanity.” Treachery of German Diplomats. Bishop Gailor, the next speaker, spoke of the treachery of the German diplomatists and the German agents in this country. He then exhorted his hear to combine to fight the ene- { mies here now wnd to do everything in [ their power to help the government in the war. James M. Beck spoke next. He lik- ened the present stage of the world war to a scene in the last act of the Corsican Brothers where two duelists are fighting with knives and cach ha a grasp on the other’s wrist, strain- ing to wrench free and plunge the dagger in his enemy's heart. He said he had been travelling i through the country, and that if he were to attempt to diagnose anything so difficult as the psychology of the complex American people, he would say that the American people as a whole at this hour had “a sense of quiet submission to the necessity of this war, a spirit of resination to its 'le sacrifices,” and under that a considerable portion of the | American people “a quiet and sturdv determination to see it through.” “But 1 still believe,’ 'said Mr. Reck “that not only among the masses of the people is there no such enthu<iusi or heroic joy as will be sufficient to meet this coming hour of peril, but that, in addition, on the part of count- | less thousands of Amecrican people | there is a spirit of almost apathetic in- terest which makes the fertile soil for the growth of these noxious weeds to which Mr. Moffett and Bishop Gailor have already given expression. And, | therefore, the soil being here, and I ripe for an ugly harvest of poisonous weeds, it is absolutely vital that something shall be done to combat these insidious forces of sedition.” Mr. Beck said that he believed that public opinion is the greatest force which can be used against these do- mestic enemies of th country and very plainly he advised that steps be | taken to boycott certain newspapers, | printed in English, which in tho most insidious way arc preaching sedition. | old Medal enwoo This coal and gas range with two ovens is a wonder for cocking Although less than four feet long it can do every kind of cooking for any ordinary family by gas in warm weather or by coal or wood when the kitchen needs heating.
