', J ';;.,', ' ' Closs-at-Home War Problems. Saved so far from the hardships and suffer ings of war inflicted on the inhabitants of other countries, and scarcely touched by the discom forts endured by the people of our own seaboard states, we out here in this most favored section have small excuse for not meeting our own war problems. All we have been asked to do, out side of contributing our quota of the needed mili tary strength and bear our share of the financial burdens, has been to produce more- of the ma terials required to meet the necessities of our selves and our Allies and to be saving in our own consumption of these materials. Our close- at-home war problems therefore are those of food and fuel conservation and in both these fields the demands that have been made of us are comparatively moderate and easy of re sponse. But no really drastic orders have been given out here. On the whole, the restrictions imposed have been laid with utmost consideration of the interests affected and are being conformed to in a spirit of helpful co-operation. Apparently the one exception is the bread bakers, who insist on having a run-in with the food administrator with the idea that they can establish their right to exact a higher price for bread in Omaha than in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other larger places further from the wheat fields. Some of the retailers also in certain lines have felt that the closing hours recommended by the fuel ad ministrator are unduly burdensome, but they are none the less accepting the situation, satisfied if there is equal treatment for all. What our folks should realize, and what The Bee wants to impress upon them, is that we are as yet only lightly touched; our businesses are but slightly disturbed, our habits but little in convenienced, and that the avoidance of more severe requirements depends largely upon how well we meet present demands and thus prevent more acute conditions. Preparation for a Great Battle. For many days the world has been waiting for a great battle, perhaps the greatest in all his tory. This was to have been at Jie initiative of the Entente Allies, the spring drive of 1918, to which our army in France is dedicated. Changes in the strategic situation have put the lead into the other hand, and it now is expected that Ger many will make its last bid for victory in the war. Speculation as to the point of attack ranges from Nancy to Calais; Nancy, because from there an easy road leads to Paris; against Calais,! for that port brings Dover under the German guns, and its occupation has been a leading factor in the kaiser's program from the first. I. ' It is only known that for weeks huge forces have been gathered and rehearsed on the west ern front, great stores of ammunition have been accumulated and extensive preparations made for action. The Allies are well posted on proceed ings, and have made ready to receive Hindenberg wherever he may strike. When depends on the German high command. Actual opening of the affair had been expected 10 days ago, but the weather has checked active fighting generally, although the process of ''nibbling" is carried out on both sides. Discussion of peace plans in the various capi tals are' looked on by careful observers as only a cover for preliminaries leading up to what will be the decisive battle of the war. The katser is unwilling to seriously consider a settlement until he has made final try for military triumph. His huge army is ready and fit in all ways for a su preme test of force. It is now make or break with the German militarists, who rest their hopcf for succesi on the inability of the United States tj get into the game right. , . The half million American soldiers now in France may be sufficient to turn the scale. Ad ditional forces are being hurried across, 'for tle fate of the world depends on our army now. Coal Saving on Railroads. One of the sweets that flow from adversity it shown in a report from the general manager of the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail road concerning the use of locomotive fuel. He compares experience of December, 1917, with that of the previous year and estimates the sav ing on coal at more than $1,333,333 for the year. This bas been accomplished solely through the application of common sense. Firemen have been educated to not waste fuel, better adjust ment of loads to locomotives has been practiced and other simple and inexpensive methods to stop leaks from the coal pile have been adopted. What has been done on this road might be accomplished on any other. It may be the New Haven was unduly extravagant in the use of locomotive fuel, but it is conceivable that some of its troubles in this regard apply to, other lines, and that they are all susceptible to similar remedies. If its experience is to be taken as typical the railroads have a wonderful opportunity to end the fuel shortage, as well as to accomplish the saving of a million dollars a day in cost operation. Having successfully bombed another Red Cross hospital as well as dropping several tons of explosives on English villages, with the' cus tomary toll of women and children, the kaiser's airmen are in position o ask for additional deco rations. Humanity will place its estimate on such crimes in a way that,1 even a junker can under stand. . v , The' Acid Test of Enemy Food Captured Scraps of Food Analyzed by French Scientist By FREDERIC J. HAS KIN. ( Washington, Jan. 28. How completely the belligerents of Europe are separated from each other by the fighting lines is shown by the eagerness with which r reach scientists examined bits of food in a Zeppelin which fell on French soil and was captured by a hunter. These bits of food were evidence as to how the enemy was .hying; they were analyzed as carefully, as though they had been fragments from another planet. The French scientist found to their great surprise that the rye bread, which consti tuted the basis of the ration used in the Zeppelin contained about 10 per cent of rice flour. How could Germany obtain rice? In only one way from Java by way of Holland, Here was one important fact deduced from the scraps of food in the fallen airship. The rest of the ration was suggestive of Germany's poverty In foodstuffs. It is well known that aviators require a diet rich in fats and sugars so that they may withstand the cold of high altitudes. These Zeppelin men were provided with sandwiches. There were two kinds, evidently intended for offi cers and men, respectively. The officers had the better bread, made with a percentage of rice flour, and their sandwiches were made of a very poor quality of cheese and of honey from which the saccharose the most valu able food element had been extracted. These analyses were published in the re ports of the French Academy of agriculture, which are regularly received by our own Department of Agriculture, and which throw much light upon conditions in France, and some upon conditions in Germany. One of them, for example, contains an account of French experience In the use of prisoners of war as farm laborers, which is of special in terest inasmuch as the advisability of send ing German prisoners over there in returning vessels for the same purpose has been se riously considered. The French agriculturalists are not very encouraging. The first drawback is that ,very few of the prisoners have had any ex perience in farming. Most of the good farm ers have been kept at home. A second dif ficulty lies in the fact that the prisoner is most unwilling to work. He can sometimes be bribed to work by extra rations of food; but generally he succeeds in making himself pretty nearly useless. A good deal of trou ble was caused by attempts to apportion the men among, farmers, who were required to keep them in their homes. This practice re sulted in so much immorality . and trouble that it was stopped. It is interesting to note that in the north of France along the Ger man border, where the French and Germans are people of about the same racial type, the use of prisoners as labor was something of a success, while attempts to introduce the prisoners in the Latin South of France were failures. The people in some cases rejected them with violence. The conclusion of the French scientists is that prisoners of war may be used' with some success in cultivating large areas under strict military supervision. Thus some of our unused western lands per haps offer the best opportunity thttt there is for the successful use of this labor. It appears that in both Germany and France great attention is being given to the raising of rabbits and the keeping of bces. They have also given much attentidn to the development of small home gardens, but these oroduce for the most cart only fresh vegetables which contain little nourishment. Rabbits, on the other hand, provide fresh meat of a very good quality and may be fed on all sorts of weeds and plants that could not otherwise be utilized, while bees provide sugar, and extract it from plants without im pairing their food value. Meat and sugar are what all the world needs. Our own Depart ment of Agriculture has been encouraging the keeping of bees,, and scientists of the Biological Survey have pointed out the pos sibilities of supplementing the meat supply by raising j-abbits. So far, neither of-these movements seems to have taken hold in this country. If bee and rabbit keeping could be promoted as successfully as was the home garden idea last summer, the food shortage could be greatly alleviated. Another interesting experiment reported to the academy was in the use of acorns for the manufacture of alcohol. This experiment seems to have been, unexpectedly successful, a high percentage of alcohol, which is of course much needed in the manufacture of munitions, having been extracted from acorns. The work is probably now being done on a commercial scale. The French scientist comments that only the pigs are the losers. In this country we have enormous stretches of oak forest especially the dwarf oak of the west the fruit of which is not even tfsed for pig food. Horse chestnuts are also being used for human food in Europe as are,' the inner bark of poplar trees,- the buds of trees and the leaves of rhubarb plants. It is evident that man discovers the food values of many natural products only when he is forced by necessity to do so, The only nation which seems to have anticipated the necessities now unon the world is Germany. . It is known that long, before the war she offered prizes to railroad employes for the production ot honey and rabbits on the small bits of ground about their dwellings, while German scien tists made many experiments in the utilization of materials that had always gone to waste. Now that the necessity is forced upon them, the French scientists are showing themselves equally resourceful Of course, the great question which France faces is that of man power. In spite of all her efforts her agricultural production has suffered for lack of men to till the soil. Many of the academy reports deal with va rious phases of this problem. Thus it indi cates that the labor of women in the, fields is being stimulated by offering prizes to farmers' wives for agricultural work. There is also a note indicating that, the labor of prisoners of war not having proved very use ful, -France is now turning to her colonies for labor. Black men from Africa either have been or are to be imported for use as agricultural labor. Both France and Eng land have tried the use of black .men on the battlefield, but there they have tailed, being unable 'to stand the rigorous conditions of military service in a climate to which they are not adapted. It seems quite probable that they might be successfully used as laborers especially in the warm regions of southern France. It may be hazarded, too, that only a desperate lack of man power would induce France to risft the problems which have al ways risen from the importation of black men into an Aryan country. One Bright Light1 of 'Efficiency Rise of a Stenographer to Paymaster General of the Navy Thomas F. Logan in Leslies. This time he Out pf the clouds of ignorance, waste and red tape revealed in the governmental de partments when the senate committee on military affairs investigated the nation's war preparations there shines one bright light of efficiency that is the testimony of Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan, paymaster-gen eral of the navy. The reason why the United States navy was clothed in all-wool unitorms wnne our soiaiers snivcrca m "shoddy" is because a young stenographer in a lawyer's office in Charleston, S. C, back in 1894, conceived the idea that the govern ment would find itself flat on its back if he were not appointed private secretary to the then Secretary of the Navy Herbert. It was Samuel McGowan, paymaster-general of the navy, who was responsible for saving the 'navy from he collapse that oc curred in the quartermaster's branch of the War department when America went to war against the kaiser. The reason he was able to do it was because he began to prepare for war the moment he became paymaster-general "of the navy, which was at 8:20 on the morning of July 1, 1911. ;,. The European war had not begun nor was there even a prophetic smell of smoke.J McGowan, becoming paymaster-general, tne chief purchasing and disbursing officer of the Navy department, merely had a notion that a navy was designed to protect a nation in time of war, and that it should always be on a war basis. The idea was somewhat novel in those days of pacifism, but it has since proved equal in wrth to 1,000,000 untrained men in uniform. , It was McGowan who, back in 1894, con ceived the idea that he ought to be private secretary of the secretary of the navy, H. A. Herbert One of his friends presented the name of young McGowan to Mr. Herbert. The friend told Mr. Herbert- that McGowan was 23 years old; that he had graduated from the University of South Carolina with the degree of B. A. He could also write LL.B. behind his name. "Sorry I had to appoint someone else," said Herbert, "but it is neces sary that my secretary should be a stenog rapher.? 9 - When this message was conveyed to young McGowan, he cried out for air. "Didn't you tell him I am the best stenographer in South Carolina?" he asked. "No, said his friend, "I thought the college, degrees would make a better impression." McGowan quit his job in the lawyer's office and took the next train for Washington. would present his own case. James M. Baker, another friend of Mc Gowan, was secretary of the United States senate. McGowan foundTiim and stated the case. - "Come with me," said Baker, They found Secretary Herbert at a dinner. He left the dinner and Baker introduced the young man from South Carolina. "He's the best stenographer you ver met," said Baker, "and yet you rejected him as private secre tary. "W'hy don't you put him into the paymaster's corps?" Herbert said he would if McGowan could pass the examination. He did. 1 ; McGowan quickly developed into one of the ablest paymasters in the navy. s The ships on which he served were models of business efficiency. He knew how 'to order supplies. He came to realize certain weak nesses in the put chasing and supply system. He was on the oattleship Wyoming, under Admiral Badger, when Secretary of the Navy Daniels informed him of his appointment as paymaster-general of the navy.
