"America For Americans"
FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
FILIPINOS MAKE ACTIVE WAR
PREPARATION'S
*lhe Right Reverend Charles H.
Brent, former Bishop cf the Philip
pine Islands, who has just accept
ed the call of the bishopric of
western New York, brings us s
glowing picture of Filipino interest
In Uncle Sam's war. an interest
wh.ch has been evidenced from the
besinning in subscription to Liberty
Bonds, co-operation in Mr. Hoover's
food campaign and intensive farming
and the offer of a submarine and
destroyer. Bishop Brent tells us
particularly of the training of an
Arnw, and *he eagerness of the Fili
pinos to see active service.
"There has been an offer by
the Philippine government," says
Bist'op Brent, "to provide a divi
sit-a of troops, Filipmcs, a total of
19,000 or 20,000 men. for the Un
ited States army. Large numbers
of men are in training to form the
division. There are already 5,000
Filioinos in sen-ice, known as
scouts, and they are excellent sol
diers.
"This offer is a notable thing for
the Filipinos to do considering their
former attitude towards the United
States. They offer their services
in France, but if they cannot be
uUl zed with the army there owing
to fre cold climate to which they
a-p not accustomed, they could
be tlaced on the Mexican border
most likely to the great advantage
of our government. The Filipinos!
are entirely in sympathy with our j
government In this war and are anx
ious to do anything they can to
Btrve the cause of democracy and
freedom which has dene so much fo
them: and the Governor-General and!
officials are enthusias'ic about giv
ing men and aid to the United ]
States.
"The Filtrincs yould give our
country this great advantage along
the Mexican border: they could
talk with the Mexicans in their own
la^nuage; they could tell the Mexi
cans what the United States has
done for them, could explain the
true attitude of our government
toward them and their country, and,
I believe, could become a great
peacemaking and peacekeeping
force. The scouts are commanded
br American officers, principally,
iwitN gome troops in command of
their own men. and they are rated
a®. excellent soldiers by army com
tnanders who know their Trork and
its talus.''
Bishop Brent is at present in
Frame® at the request of General
P#rsMng working with the Y. M. C.
A. among the American soldiers.

JUST BEFORE WATERLOO
The kaiser points out to bis
people that Germany is holding all
conquests, and that the German
ideal of an empire extending from
'ha English, channel through Con
stantinople into Asia Minor is a
reality at the present time.
Toe Germans are ahead of the
game a» present. But today (Jops
not count in this war.
Napoleon did not lose a battle un
til after his invasion of Russia. He
was successful in a dozen campaigns
that took him into nearly every
capital of continental Europe as a
conqueror. He snatched crowns
right and left and placed them on
the heads of bis brothers and his
niar&nals. f I
. But, in the end, it took a Bingle
campaign to depose Napoleon and
to deoase France.
As a matter of hi^orical fact,
I-ee in the East was not beaten In
a battle until the last year of the
civil war. He fought some draws,
but in the main he was victorious.
Tfet the South collapsed in the
final campaign waged by Grant.
The French people are below theij
former average stature today be
cause they fought to exhaustion un
der Napoleon. And tlio' emigration
from Franco is small, her popula
j tion is not materially larger than
it was 100 years ago.
■ ae South is only now recovering
from the material losses of the eivil
war. Two generations of Southern
ers suffered because the Confeder
ate soldiers fought too long and
too fiercely.
The present war is analogous to
both the Napoleonic and civil wars.
The kafeer is fighting with the
smaller number of men and re
sources, just as Napoleon and Lee
fought
And there is no doubt but what
the result of the present war will
follow historical precedent.—Ta

NAVAL STATIONS
COMPLETED
Washington Jan. ,12.—For manj
yesrs there have been few ad
ditions to the uumber of navy yards
and stations in the United States,
t ut the war has made necessary a
considerable increase in our facili
f'es for conducting nayai opeia
tieiis. I
Tie navl aircraft factory at
Ph.Iadelpliia, Pa., and tlia naval
on*-rating base at Hampton Roads,
Va.. have recently been completed
an-? are now in full commission. In
course of preparation ure a naval
training station at Gulfport, Miss.,
and submarine bases at New Lon
don, Co:i.-.., and San Pedro, Cal. It
will be ;:oted that these two sub
marine nases are so situated as
to a>lU to tae defenses of l>oth. the
Atlantic -.nd Pacific Coasts. Locat
ed close to supplies of steel and
coal is the projectile plant at
Charleston, \V. Ya., which is ex
pect".) to oe in operation booh af
ter .'i'nuary 1. The buildings erect
ed for the exposition at Saa
t>i'»go, Cal.. are serving a further
use as a training station for the
-Navy, and thousands of Uncle
Sum's recruits are being made into
^ea fighters with these artistic
structures as a base.
Ice whole Navy Yard Service is,
of course, hummiug with activity.
Ther; is a shortage of labor, how
ever, in certain lines and ship con
strurtion and other work is suf
feiins in consequence. Anglesmlths,
blacksmiths, boatbuilders, canvas
workers, coppersmiths, drillers, fa
bric workers, frame benders, ma
chinists, power sewing machine op
^r-Horss (women), sailmakers, ship
draftsmen, shipfitters, shipsmiths,
m bin spec tors of ordnance, and other
mechanics and technical men are
badly needed. The United States
Civil Service Commission is urging,
as a patriotic duty, that persona
trained in these lines offer their
services to the Government at this
time of sreat need. Representatives
of the Civil Service Commission at
the post offices in all cities are giv
ing full information and supplying
amplication blanks. No written ex
aminations are required.
