"If only nations would find their missions, not

in making other people miserable but in making

their own people happy!"-Israel Zangwill. Trained Of ficers The purpose of the, of ficers' training camps is a simple one to provide officers for the drafted

forces of the national army that will be raised

pursuant to the first selective conscription.

For three months, picked men have been re

ceiving an exacting and intensive training at Fort Benjamin Harrison and at other training camps. The men that receive commissions will get them purely on the basis of demonstrated ability and merit free from all personal or other influences.

Pull and other sinister, forces that often dis

graced the appointment of commissioned officers will have no effect. Merit, spelled in capital letters, will be the test. The boys that are drafted late this week will.be officered by men who know the rudiments of the war game. The first training camps cannot supply enough officers for the increase in the armed strength of , the nation. The second camps will begin August 27 with the mission of producing additional officers. The courses of instruction offered at the camps have developed a set of men sufficiently

schooled in military science to hold some of the minor commissions and some of those of higher rank. ' More men are needed. The government has offered young men and those who have had military training an opportunity to prepare themselves for commissions.. It is a credit to the nation that so many have accepted the overture of the government. The training camps have demonstrated their worth. We share the general opinion that they will be continued. . .

will heed it.; The experts of this, department are posted on conditions.- Read the appended statement and be guided accordingly: Sound flour milled from standard wheat exhibits " very little! tendency to decompose when stored in a proper manner. Nevertheless, there is considerable loss of flour through, spoilage as a result of improper storage, particularly during the summer months. Flourdealers naturally have to carry in storage an amount of flour proportionate to the current needs of their trade. Housekeepers on the farm and in the city should purchase flour in accordance with their needs only. It is false economy for the housekeeper" to purchase larger amounts of flour than can be used within a reasonable length of time. This may be a barrel for a large family ; more often it will be the 50-pound sack. Any storage of flour in excess of the consumer's needs constitutes hoarding which, under present circumstances, is an unethical and reprehensible practice, of no profit to the individual who practices it, but injurious to the best interests of the people.

Buy Flour in Small Quantities Here is a warning from the United States Department of Agriculture. If we are wise we

An Old Red Cross Worker One certainly must be impressed with the horrors of war and the need of surgical supplies when one ponders that there are women making Red Cross supplies today who worked for soldiers' relief more than fifty years ago. : Mrs. Sarah Wrigley, one of the esteemed women of this community, who has been identified with the history of Richmond for many years, is a notable example of the point under consideration. ...

More than fifty years ago she was one. of that band of noble Wayne county women that answered Governor Morton's call for supplies and hospital dressings. Today she has heard the call of the Red Cross and despite Her years and infirmities is giving gladly of her waning strength that the shot-torn boys on European battlefields may not suffer from lack of attention and care. What an incentive to duty ! Thousands of

women in Richmond in the full strength of their years may look upon her interest as a call to re

newed service and to greater sacrifice. Let them count the hours they spend working for the Red Cross Society as the best in their lives. ,

Cloistered Nuns Do Laundry Work For American Sailors Abroad

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLOS, BRITISH WATERS. June 27.f-(Cor-respondence) Cloister nuns,' in a home for Sisters of Good- Shepherd near the base from which American flotillas are operating against German submarines, have been doing a thriving laundry business among the bluejackets. Through the intercession of two of their devoted women friends with the American Consul and Vice-Admiral Sims, the nuns obtained permission to receive any. work the American naval men were willing to turn over to them. When the jack tars learned that, this was virtually the only means of sup-

Debate on Food Bill Nears End

WASHINGTON. July 20. Senate debate on the food control bill was rapidly drawing to a close today and a final vote on the measure will be taken tomorrow. Having disposed of the provisions relating to federal control and administration, the senate took up the modif ledd federal licensing section and that fixing a mln5mum price for wheat.

The senate yesterday voted tentatively to substitute a food administration board of three members, Instead of a single individual, and restricted federal control of necessities to food, feed and fuel, Including kerosene and gasolene. While this action Is subject to reconsideration, belief is that it will stand. All attempts to put other products under- federal control were defeated. Herbert C. Hoover selected by President Wilson for food administrator, was the storm center ' about which much of the debate revolved. The senate, however, rejected Senator Reed's amendment aimed at preventing Mr. Hoover from serving on the food board.

port the secluded women had, they at once showed an eagerness to aid. As

a result, there has been a growing laundry list each week.

Although the nuns have been devot

ing many hours daily to this work, they never see the young Americans who have been so generou3 in their patronage. The laundry is sent to the convent in motor launches from the American destroyers as they return

from patrol duty. The bluejackets de

clare the work is such as to make the modern American laundryman envious and at prices considerably lower than on the other side of the Atlantic. The work the nuns are doing Is, of course, only a small part of the fleet's washday output. The great bulk of it is done on board the' supply, or mother ship, in an electrically operated laundry which is said to be the most complete ever seen in this part of the world. Prices charged the men are less than half of those charged by American

laundries. Collars are one cent each, socks per pair one cent, negligee shirts five cents and towels five mills. Ninety percent of the receipts aro divided among the laundrymen, while the remaining ten per cent covers the losses and cost of soap supplies. One of the features of - the ship's laundry is a

miniature soap factory. .

She was married to Jesse Huddleston in 1840, and was left a widow in 1855. A brother of Mrs. Huddleston's father built the only bridge of his time that is still in use on the national road. The bridge is a mile west of Dublin, t . The name of the builder and the date, 1835, were painted on the bridge, and there are only a. few people still living that can recall seeing them before they faded out. - Mrs. Huddleston's son, Samuel Huddleston, is seventy-three.

Federal prisons are maintained in Atlanta, Ga., Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and at McNeil's Island, Washington. Naval prisons are at Mare Island, Cal., Boston, Mass., and Portsmouth, N. H.

According to Washington dispatches Frank J. Sprague, former president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and member of the Naval Consulting Board, has presented to Secretary of the Navy Daniels a general plan which he has been engaged on for some weeks to cope with the

submarine problem. While no details can be learned, it is understood in a general way that the plan recognizes the necessity of offensive measures rather than defensive measures.

Archduke Had Premonition of

His Death; Correspondent Says

The ancient Egyptians had mansions supplied with gardens, orchards, fish ponds, and game preserves; they were acquainted with the benefits of the rotation of crops, and bred poultry extensively, using artificial hatching as we do at the present time.

TH0U0HT8 TO THINK ABOUT Few men are satisfied with fortune, yet all are ready to say goodbye to misfortune.

Children that are allowed to walk the streets at will do not always learn to walk upright.

Self-approbation may satisfy your pride, but self-criticism will put you in the mood for better things and will lead to higher attainments.

' COPENHAGEN, July 21. What purport to be hitherto unpublished facts relating to the assassination of Archduke Prans Ferdinand of Austria, showing that he had a strong premonition of approaching death, are contributed to the Berlin Tageblatt by Its correspondent at. the Austro-Ital-lan front. The correspondent's Informants, ac

cording to this dispatch, are persons of high standing, some of whom were eye-witnesses to the Serajevo tragedy which has been described as having supplied the match that set the world aflame. . Indications of the Archduke's uneasiness, it is asserted, were apparent while he was driving along the quay at Trieste to board the steamship for Serajevo. He repeatedly- glanced up at houses fronting on the water, as if suspecting a bomb plot. Dashed Bomb Away At Cumaja Bridge, In Serajevo, however, when Gabrinovitch hurled a bomb which landed on the collapsed top of the Austro-Hungarlan heir's carriage, the Archduke showed remarkable presence of mind by sweeping the death-dealing missile away with his hand. Falling to the ground, the bomb exploded, damaging the third automobile In the line of the parade and wounding the adjutant,

Lieutenant-Colonel Count Merizzi. After the injured officer had been

removed to a hospital, the archducal pair proceeded to the City Hall. At the conclusion of the ceremonies there, a consultation was held as to the advisability of carrying out the program which had been announced for the royal visitors.. Contrary to the accepted version of the episode, which described Ferdinand as insisting that the program be carried out despite the urgent advice of members of his party In opposition to the plan, the heir to the throne Is now quoted as having asked: "To Be Shot Dead?" "What shall we do now? Shall we continue to permit ourselves to be shot dead'r" General Petierck is said to have proposed either that the city should be punished by the cancellation, of the program or that the streets be cleared and the ceremonies carried out as arranged. To the latter proposal, the Archduke, after brief reflection, is said to have replied: "To carry out the program after

clearing the streets doesn't suit me. ;

We had better drop the program en- i tirely. I only wish to visit Merizzi." j So the party was divided, the i royal pair proceeding on their way to j

the hospital to visit the wounded adjutant. In the prevailing confusion, according to the latest version of the tragedy, the chauffeur assigned to the Archduke's car disregarded his instructions. Officer Errs . Count Harrach, the officer who had been detailed to the Archduke's machine, appeared on the running board of another car on the opposite side of tJio street" When the Archduke's ' chauffeur started off in the wrong direction, Count Harrach, It is said, called to him to halt, thus affording the assassin, Princip. an unexpected opportunity to Are the fatal shots at Ferdinand and his wife from a distance of only a few feet. The Tageblatt's correspondent asserts that, after the bomb outrage In which the adjutant was injured. General Petierek assured - the Archduke there would be no further attempt to assassinate him, as plotters all had been arrested. Ferdinand, however, is described as having looked at him somewhat skeptically and saying: "I don't believe it We will get several bullets yet." UNCLE SAM SEEKING TO IN8URE ARMY CAMPS
