Regarding Un ng Enterprises That Do Not Centribute to War Strength, The following warning has been’sent out to the people of the community by | the state council of defense: New enterprises which do not direct- ly contribute to the war strength of this country, or its allies, should not be undertaken. During the period of the war any new enterprises or undertakings should be tried and justified by this test: “Will the men, money and material required by this enterprise best con- tribute in this way to the winning of the war?” Every man and every resource will be needed by our country during the war. . All efforts should be centered to winning. There is no uncertainty or ambiguity about this statement of your duty. Men who are considering new enter- prises, public improvements, dwellings, factories, industrial work of any d scription should be guided by the above test. 3 The above should prepare the minds of business men for action affecting the full operation of thoss industries not essenttial to the national defense and also affecting the consumption By (}'lel public of luxuries and non-essen- tials. - In the course of time no.one need be surprised if during the war the use of labor and materials for all non-essen- tial purposes iz made impossible by regulation or statute. WR{TES FR MILAN. 1 A Gift for Each Member of the Family Prof. Albert R. Chandler Reaches Italy | in Course of Work for the Fed Cross. Prof. Albert R. Chandler of the -Ohio State university at Columbus, son of' Charles E. Candler of Norwich, who is | on a year's.leave of absence to engage in Red Cross work in'Europe, has written a letter home, this time from Grand Hotel de da Ville, Milan, under date of Nov. 19, 1917. In it he says: I believe my last letter announced my departure from Paris-for Rome. ° We reached Milan between 11 and 12 this morning, and went at once to the U. S. consul, an active and enthu- siastic young man, reputed to 'be the best American consul in Europe. He has started some Red Cross work here for refugees, and was very glad to get some Red Cross workers. Mr. Car- roll, one of the Red Cross inspectors, was there, a thick-set, white-haired man, with an aquiline nose and a shell rimmed monocle. His business is to g0 from place to place, representing the Red Cross and promoting its wprk. He turned out to be Charles Carroil of Carrollton, who I suppose is the nearest American equivalent, to a duke. = He has a very ‘English accent, and a Very courtly manner, but he was not at all icy, and ‘'he was transacting business with a good deal of speed and a skill evidently borh of large ex- perience in large affairs. He was stay- ing at the same hotel with Dr. Moore and ‘me and we three dined together I cant’ imagine anything but the mergenclies of a world, calamity Iike the present war could have given me the opportunity of dining so intimate evening.
