Campaign Under Way With Object of Securing 1,000,000 Next Season.

Special to Times-Republican. Ames, July 80.—Iowa farmers are

•urged to save their winter wheat for seed that they may assist in the win­ter wlieat campaign now being: carried on 'by the agricultural extension de­partment of Iowa State bollege thru the County form bureaus and in co ­operation with the state council of de­fense, the state food administration and the state peeBfatockb committee. The object gf this Campaign is to in­crease Iowa's wlntec wheat acreage tc> 1,000,OOO acres next season.

To reach this goal it will be neces­sary for every faAner Who has clean winter wheat to Hold it until the needs for Beed have been ^ satisfied. It is feared that too much of the wheat will ibe thrown <tupon . the market im­mediately after threshing and if this is done the campaign will seriously hampered. . The a<^Q<£ge 'ia somewhat limited this year And a considerable part of the total production' will be needed for seed. '

Some of the reasons Why winter wheat is safer than spring Wheat In all but some qt the northern counties ot the state are that it will produce more and better grain arid will divide the labor both at harvesting and seeding times. ,Winter Wheat provides a valuable nuijse crop for cloyer, another advantage in growing it.

List—More Than 200 Iowa Boy* Re­

jected by War Examiner* Because of

Preaenoe of Tuberculosis in Syatsm*.

Special to Times-Republican., Des Molncs. July 80.—Iowa men

whose physical examination for admis­sion to the army discloses the presence of tuberculosis and who have there­fore been discharged from service will not be permitted to' go back to their home and resume their old life without consideration of treatment to rid them­selves of this malady. ,

Plans are now being formed by A. E. Kepford, who for years has been in charge of tho state department on tuberculosis and sincc the war also state director of.the Red Cross, for the tn-atment of these men.

DlrectorKepford will look to the home counties to look after the treatment of their men. They must have the right sort of a hospital, properly equipped with nurses and attending physicians who,understand the modern treatment of this disease. In moat counties wards are provided at the county hospital. There a>e some progressive counties of The state where county tuberculosis hospitals have been built as provided by law. The law also provides for tae funds to care for tuberculosis patlehts and« boards of supervisors4 will be ex­pected to secure the necessary money under the law.

State Ready to Help. Director Kepford declares that the

state and the Red Cross stand ready to help victims of the white plauge' rid themselves of this Insidious disease. U has long been one of the activities of the Red Cross to fight tuberculosis. The state hospital at Oakdale Is full to overflowing and has a long waiting list so there Is no chancp to take these men there. Tl\e hospital facilities in the average counties are Inadequate. But a survey will be made and It is hoped ways provided to promptly take care of these men.

"We have already learned of more than 200 young Iowa men who have been rejected for army service because of the presence of tuberculosis In their system,!' aaid Director Kepford. "The disease is in its Inciplency and as ex­perience has so thoroughly proven In the past fifteen years it can be gotten rid of if taken in Its Incipient ^stages and properly treated. We e^e going to see that this is done for these men We are not'going to let these fellows get carets or Indifferent about over­coming their ailment. Within a short time thru the three agencies, the coun­ty. the jitate and the Red Cross we hope to have this reclamation work weir in hand."

Government Control of AH Labqr Will

Be Effective Aug. 1

Director J. B. Dennmore, of the em­ployment service of the department of labor, has addressed the following ap-, peal to the mayors of all cities:

Wo beg to direct your attention lo the plans of the United States employ­ment service, and to the grertt effect which this program will have upon tho Industrial life 6f the nation.

On Aug. t. the supplying of war in­dustries with common labor will no centralized in tho United States em­ployment service of the department of labor, and all Independent recruiting of common labor l»y manufacturers hav­ing a payroll of more than 100 men will be diverted to the United States employment service. ThlB is in iiT"-eordan<Je with the deciston of the war labor politicles boar and approved by tho president on June 17.

The above action_ was found neces­sary to overcome a perilous shortage of unskilled labor in war industries. This shortage was aggravated by an almost universal practice of labor stealing and poaching.

While the restrictions against the private employment of labor apbly only to common labor at tho present time, these restrictions will, as soon as pos­sible, be extended to lncludo skilled labor. In the meantime, recruiting of skilled labor for war production will be subject to federal regulations now being prepared.

This drastic change in the nation's labor program has been found neces­sary In order to protect the employer and the employed, to conserve the labor supply bf the communities and to cut down unnecessary and expensive labor turn-over (which, in some cases, Is as high as 100 per cent a week) ,and to Increase the production of essentials.

While non-essential Industries will be drawn upon to supply the necersary labor'for war work, the withdrawal will be conducted on an equitable basis in order to protect the individual em­ployer as much as possible.

Under tho operating methods adopted, tfye country has been divided Into thirteen federal districts, each dis­trict In charge of a Superintendent of the United States employment service. The states within each district are in turn in charge of a state director, who has full control of the service within his state*.

In each community there is being formed a local community labor board, consisting of a representative of the United States employment service, a representative of employers and a re­presentative of the employed. This board will have Jurlsdictiijn over re­cruiting and distributing labor, in Its locality,

A survey of the labor requirements Is being hiade, and in order that each community may be fully protected, rulings have been Issued that nO labor shall be transported out of any ocm-munity by the United States employ­ment service without the approval of the state,director; nor shall any labor bo rpmoved by the service trom one state to another without • the approval of the United States employment serv­ice at Washington, ©very effort will be made to discourage any nyjvementa from community'to community -or state to state by any other service.

This Iqbor program has the approval of all><producing departments of the government, thru the war labor poll>-cies board. -

It? must' be understood that farm labor will be protected, for the indus­trial "progTarh distinctly Includes spec­ial efforts to keep" the farmer supplied with labor.

The requirement that unskilled labor must be recruited.thru the^sole agency of the United States employment serv­ice does not at present apply in the following five cases:

1. Labor which Is not directly or in­directly solicited.

• 2. Labor for the railroads. t 3. Farm labor—to be recruited in ac­

cordance with ex*3tlng arrangement with department of agriculture.

4. Labor for non-war work. 5. Labor for establishments whose

maximum force does not exceed one hundred. . When the survey of labor require­ments has been made and the aggre­gate demand for unskilled labor in war work is found, each state will be as-' signed a quota, representing the com­mon labor to be drawn from among men engaged, in non-essential indus­tries In'that state. , ' These state quotas will in turn be distributed among localities-. Within eaSTi locality, employers In non-war work, including those who are only partially in war work,, will be asked to distribute the local quotas from time to time among themselves. 'Quotas Dy localities and individuals are to be ac­cepted as readily as they \ are for liberty loan and Red. Crces campaigns. T.h.is plan of labor quotas is a protec­tion for all communities.

The object is to keep ahy community ^rom 'being drained of labor, and to use .local supply, as far as possible,' for local demand. The situation, however, is s»'"h that In.certain cases some men majv have to be transported over long distances."

You will note from the above ow-l'ino that this is probably the most drastic action that the government has taken since putting the national army draft Into effect. The absolute neces­sity for this program can be seen when it is realized that In Pittsburgh, tor instance, there are advertisements

Chevrons on One Sleeve. Par^s, July 30.—American "non-

coms" are no longer to wear their cor­poral and sergeant chevrons on both arms as heretofore, but will sport them on the right sleeve only. There is some discussion as to the precise reason for the new order—whether a saving of chevrons is intended, or whether it Is to prevent the "non-coms" from ^»elng gradually covered with stripes alto­gether. Service stripes, such as are unfortunately apt to come, and kindred marks of honor will eventually leave little room for double chevrons.

Efforts are being made to grow to­bacco commercially in Great Britain.

Great Counter Drive Planned by Foch Washington, July 30.—To take ad­

vantage of the rout of the Germans

north of the Ma me, General Foch needs

all the Americuns that can l>e rushed to

Krance during the remainder of the summer and early autumn.

lie is .going to get. them. Hundreds of thousands of the men of the' nu-tlonal Rimy aro trained ami ready to go, and every ounce of available allied tonnage will be used, to carry them overseas.

Great Counted Offensive Near. The supreme commander of the allies

has not disclosed his purpo^, but It Is nurniisod that tho Franco,-American victories Viave revealed the weakness of the boche and made the launching of the groat counter offensive an Im­mediate possibility.

"With another million Americn/is on the job thp Germans could be cleaned out of Frrfncc and Belgium before snow files," said a high war department of­ficial. \

Soldier Training Speeded Up. Tho training of soldiers also Is to

be speeded up. Secretary N. D. Baker had planned to slow down the draft machinery bcglnnlpg with Aug. 1. He was going to call only 300,000 draftees in August compared with 400,000 In July. Something has happened to change the program.

In consequence of this change, Pro­vost Marshal General E. H. Crowder notified the states that the August calls

of drafted men to the training camps "will bis as large as the July calls." Locul boards are iBtructed to "refuse releases to the navy, marine corps, or the emergency fieet to all registrants of the 1918 or ID17 clnsttes who have been or will be classified in Class 1 until a sufficient number of Class 1 regis­trants, physlcnlly qualified for general military service, arc In sight to W1J promptly and properly all calls up to Aug. 31, with generous allowances for physical rejections at camp."

1918 Classification Scrutinized. General Crowder also'Instructed draft

executives to "liold under a vory spc-9U1I scrutiny" the report of any local board that fa})* to place at least 50 per cent of the' 1918 registrants In Class 1.

The war department's promised man-« power 'program is not yet completed.

The labor question Is snld to be forming an Important consideration In the framing of the program. Altho no one doubts tjje willingness of Con­gress to afct quickly, the measure Is of such far-reaching Importance thut. it will bo impossible to pass it without consldoritble debute, perhaps for a month or more. It will require an­other long period to complete the reg­istration. numbering, classification and examination of the men made avail­able.

New Registration Planned Dec. 5. It is 'jntlrely probable, according to

snry to conduct another registration on I Dec. 5 of the young men who have j bqfome 21 years old «ln< <• June 5. This would add about 200,000 Men. "hardly I enough to carry us thru ihe draft fo:-j .liuiu.-ny, 1319." acconlliijf to General Crowder.

"It becomes very plain." Genera'I C.rowder (old the military committee, "that on Jan. 1, if\ congress does not | provide for an additional enrollment. I shall he levying drafts thruout the j country on Class 2, and there will be 1

many acute situations to be met, both 1 In the field of domestic K-lations and ' In the economic field. That lif the way I ace the question of manpower in this, country."

General Crowdpr's testimony showed that 3<i 770 men bad ^lo be. deducted from the enrollment lh Class 1 for the emergency fleet corporation. There are over 120,000 shlpmen of all classes | within tire draft age, General Crowder testified. "

Recombing Shipyard List. "The emergency fleet corporation list

Is a apeclij classification list, and the registrants enrolled therein are, under, the president's regulations, required to be passed In the draft so long as they are performing satisfactory work In the shipyards of the country." General Crowder sold. "Some abuses have oc­curred In this classification and the emergency fleet corporation list Is be­ing recoinbed for the purpose of ellml-

the testimony,' that 4t may be necetr- nating from it all nonessential men.'

/ Government to

Check Sale of Wildcat Stocks

Washington, July 29. — Propaganda educating the public to ^he value of liberty bondb as Investments also has served to aid. the flotation of many times more wildcat Securities than in peace times. This was asserted by Louis B. Franklin, director of liberty loan organization for the treasury, at a conference of government agencies ana other organizations called by the capi­tal issues committee to consider means of suppressing highly specalutive pro­motion and development enterprises during the war. ' v

Other speakers, declared the sale ot wildcat stocks and bonds had Increased many fold within the last year, owing to high' wages and the willingness of promoters to take liberty bonds in pay-' mcnt for their securities. A nation­wide system of minimizing this form of fraud was'arranged, with the co-oper­ation of the Amcrlcui) Bankers' Asso­ciation, Investment Bankers' Associa­tion, United States Chamber of Com-merce.-Assoclated Advertising Clubs and government departments. \ Afr. Franklin stated that the success

of liberty loun campaigns had taught promoters .new lessons In the'market­ing of their securities. These men had virtually thrown away their old "suck­er lists," he said, and solicited thou-

underjwent terrible auftcrlngs, thous­ands died, those staying at home had their properties confiscated, were re­duced to beggary and the bolshevlkl completed their ruin.

Wolga colonists now ask to be as­sisted back to Germans* ofr .permitted to settle In the Baltic provinces. Fall­ing this they intend to emigrate to Am­erica, declares Schleunlng, who" thus places before the German government u problem tilled with peculiar dlltlcul-tles.

These "wildcat'' securities have not been submitted. to the capital issues committee for approval, altho the com­mittee is authorized to pass on all is-8.ue* of stocks, bonds or not^es of more than <#100,000, determining whether they contribute directly to war pur­poses. If approval is given it does not imply specific approval of the value of the securities and the committee has no power of compulsion.

To meet this situation the agencies reported at the conference agreed to co-operate with a national vigilance committee of (bankers -'and business men to be organized by the capital is-Aes committee. Wildcat Issues will be investigated and systematic efforts will be jmade to direct public > opinion against them and to educate small In­vestors concerning the risks involved.

« !*' WAR H|TS ARGENTINA.

Altho Not Actively Participating in War. jteauHs Are. Similar.

Buenos Aires, June 18.—[By Mail]— Argentina, altho not in the war, is suf­fering its material consequences, as evidenceii by .the constantly increasing cost of llvinjf, scarcity of work, lower­ing of w^ges, development of "trusts," cornering, "of articles of consumption and extensive /. private speculation In public necessities. The. government, is being urged' to adopt emergency meas­ures similar to'those pursued by other countries; where the war produced such conditions. It has been suggested that special committees be appointed by the state to intervene, or that additional powers be extended to those branches of the public administration, such as the police, hygiene, labor, which from

asking men to go to Pittsburgh. This "" " same condition is apparent all over the United States and in the consequent shifting of labor a great part of our war effort -is dissipated.

Because of your official position, we are taking the liberty of asking that you, by proclamation or otherwise, as mfty seem best, make this situation plain to the people of your community, as well as to your various industrial And labor organizations—this to the end that the whole-hearted support of the nation may be given to the govern­ment in fhis vital matter, since it is only thru united action that adequate results can be obtained in th& present emergency.

Comparison of prices of various articles of prime necessity in force last year with those ruling today indicate that many Increases may not be attributed directly to, (he war but rather to arti­ficial factors engendered by speculation, price-Juggling and cornering of sup­plies.

NO FAITH IN BOLSH EVIKI.

Russ Government Discredited by Ger­man Colonists in Russia.

Amsterdam, June 26. (By Mail)— "There is not a single German colonist in Russia who places the smallest faith in the Russian government. Our minds are made up. If Germany does not pro­tect us with a strong hand there is only one way out, namely, to emigrate to the Uliitefl States or Canada."

This Is the statement of Pastor Johannes Schleuning, who has come to Berlin representing th# interests of so-called Wtolga ' Germans, _ a farming colony of 700,00 persons" established along that river.

After the Brest Litovsk peace Schleuning returned from three years' banishment in Siberia and made him­self spokesman of 2,000,000 German set-, tiers spread over different regions of Russia.

According to his statement the col­onists were incorporated in the Russian army, first sent to the Russo-German front and then some 300,000 were trans-

to the Impatient^ crew before the trawlers arrived but things moved rapidly once they were ait the scene of action, tor (tu>y knew their job of old.

"Working in pairs they approached their victim from opposite directions, steaming toward each other. Between each pair a strong ' 'aweetf' was stretched and allowed-to-hang in a huge loop that Jt tqlgbl traverse the seabed. The vessels m?i and erased each other s tracks Immediately above the • doomed, craft The 'sweeps' of either ipair engtiged the U-boat fore and aft simultaneously and h?ld heir in a gigantic cradle.

"^hus far the German boat had shown no 3lgna of -alarm altho those with'her must have heard the churn­ing of.the trawler's screws." Now she suddenly seemed to awake to the menace that threatened her." The ar­ticle goes on to describe the fate of the submarine. "•Shp wrlfcgled and squirmed about In a frantic endeavor to'1 escape but 'it was useless. Not a loophole was there to be found, and at length, realizing the helplessness of her plight, she .ceased to struggle. This faot was duly wirelessed by those on 'board the airship to the destroyer below. Trapped securely, the enemy Vessel could etill rise io the ^surface did she- «o desire, and, to give her an opportunity to do so, tiie British craft now waited for •Several minutes. She preferred to lie still, and so, at a flag­ged signal from the destroyer, «he starboard foremost trawler and the port aft one attached a tin of high ex­plosives to each of the 'cradle wires' and allowed it to slide downwards un­til It rested upon the, U-boat's hull. Then those in the airship flagged a signal and upon the two trawlers two firing keys^were pressed.

'Followed then the upri^Hvg of a geyser of waiter and^v&fln tfre troubled ocean became calm, of ttyj. submarine there was no trace other than an ex­tensive patdlh of ,011 flatting upon the surface of the sea."

NEGRO FAMILY IN WAR WORK.

Thirteen Sons m-' -Seivipi, Seventeen Girla Do Work at Home.

. Ralelght, N. C.— Jehn Wal-d a negro of Goidsboro. hjis thirteen of his eighteen sons in the . Ninth and Tenth United States cavalry, while his seventeen daughters are busy with war work. The facts are vouched tor by Sheriff R. Hi. 13d wards of * Wayne county, cf which Goldsboro is the county seat. Ward also probably holds the. record for quadruplets, says Sher­iff Bdwards, who fives the record thus: \

Ward , was born April 21, 185jS, at Goldsboro. He was married three t:.mes ancl his last wife is now living. His first wife bore him fifteen chil­dren, four at one time twice, three at one time twice, one at a time once. His second wife bore him two at one time twice, three at one time once and five one at a'time. His.present wife has borne him eight, one'at a time. H&s first wife lived six yeatff and threo weeks after marriage, his second wife eight years and six montha.

New York, July 29.—Transporting a steamship ±5S feet long, 60.2 feet wide and with a depth of 26 feet, thru a canal that Is only 44 feet wide,' ac- ' commodatlng a draft of 14 feet and anj extreme length of 265 feet, with the j cutting of the ship in only one place, is j a problem that the United States ship- ' ping board believes It has worked out in order to bring from tlie great lakes for war service the steamship Charles' R. Van Hlse.

The Van Hlse Is one of 190 lake ves­sels which the United States took over on the great lakes when America en­tered the war. Forty-eight of these were brought out before the closing In of ice last winter and thirty-five sub­sequently to the opening of navigation last spring. Many were too long for the Welland canal to accommodate and the problem^' of transportation was easily solved b£ cutting the ships in twoamid-ship, bulkheading up the open ends and rejoining at Montreal and Quebec for the Atlantic voyage to American ship yards.

With the exception of the Van Hise those now coming out which are too long for the canal locks.are being hand­led the same way but in this vessel there was encountered the problem of a breadth of beam six feet greater than the width of the canal.

Ships of the sife of the Van Hlse—-a 9,000 ton deadweight carrier—are need­ed; It was impossible to widen the locks, and the engineers of the shipping board were instructed to solve thfe problem. '

This they apparently have done by planning, after the ship has been cut in two amldship to overcome the handle cap of length, to bulkhead up the two halves remove masts, funnels and deck houses, watertight the deck, place steel pontoons on one side of each hjtvea hull, fill the other side wth wa'cr and tip each half on one edge. Th's-wlil give to each half a breadth, nv v.s-irln^ from deck to keel, of twenty-five feet, allowing sun. lent room to tow the sec­tions thru the locks.

Work of gettinp the Van Hise reedy for this trip Is underway and it is ex­pected the floating will be done late in August which will allow sufficient tima to put the ship together and arrive her in the Atlantic before the advent of cold weather and ice blockades.

F. A. Bustis, special agent for the United States.shipping hoard'in charge of tie great lakes district, declares there is no doubt but that tills problem, one of the most unique ever under­taken by marine engineers, will be safely carried out. .- The work of building new vessels and of preparing old iike. ships for ocean trade, according to Mr. Eustls, is progressing rapidly in every lake port Fourteen ship yards located at, Duluth. Superltor, Milwaukee, Chicago.'Detroit, Toledo, Qleveland, Buffalo and Astab-ula, O., are working night and day. The 142 lake steamers already launch-ed or to "be brought out as this year's program will average 3,500 deadweight torn carrying capacity, thereby adding to American shipping approximately 500,200 tons. Of this tonnage, 130 are new sh'ps and twelve are old, and all are of st*.*4! with one exception.

MINE ENGINEERS TO MEET.

ferred to the Caucasus. There they March.

\ Submarines Less Effective. Paris, July 29.—The growing inef­

fectiveness of the submarine warfare is Indicated by 'Official figures just pub­lished by the French government, relat­ing to the French traffic is the Mediter­ranean.

According to these figures, not fewer than 2,060 vessels, chiefly merchantmen, with a total tonnage of 3,500,000, crossed the Mediterranean between Feb. 24 and April 1, under escort. The average number o:.' ships coming to or depart­ing from France, was 240,

The submarine attacks nevertheless l*ad so diminished in force that onl/ one in four resulted in damages to the ships and one out of every ten attacks was. entirely fruitless. The result has b?en that the water traffic has steadily increased from January to February to

Convention of American -(nstitute in Colorado in September, j

J*ew York, July 30.—Some 7,000 min­ing engineers, members of the Amer­ican Institute of Mining Engineers, are shoulder to shoulder in the endeavor both to stimulate war mineral produc­tion and to convert minerals t8 the highest possible service in the war. In an effort to increase the scope of their war service, the American Institute of Mining Engineers will meet in Colorado during the week of S: j5t. 2 to take up vital problems of immediate import­ance. /

'Mining engineers from every section of the country will attend. During the meeting trips are to be made1 from Colorado Springs to the Cripple Creek district, Puebffl^che Leadvllle district, arid Boulder, ^Re week's session will open in Denver on Sept. 2 and will that evening move to Colorado Springs, which will be the principal headquart­ers for the duration of the meeting^

This -is the first assembly of the en­tire institute in Colorado since 189S, and an appropriate entertainment program, planned by the 700 Colorado members, will include an automobile drive to the top of Pike's Peak.

The sections of Colorado to be visited, are rich in many war minerals of im­portance Including ferro alloys, radium, molybdenite ores and pyrites. 1
