evening at the Presbyter an church
on the changed conditions in the
United States during war period aa
they 1 increased him was listened to
by a largo audience, and showed
that >' e talker was a close observer.
Mr. Stevenson has a very pleasant
delivery, and an extensive vocabu
lary «nd as he recounted the im
pressions of tho changed) condi
tions as h© found them in his re
cent 14,000 mile journey through
the states he held the attention of
his listeners closely.
He covered) the more serious
conditions in a businesslike manner,
sucf as the railway situation, seeing
thA immense mogul engines of a
western road being used on some
of the branch lines of the east,
hauling needed supplies for the
government, and then touched up-"
on the difefrence of the present ne
cessary comfort to the past luxuries
and evident needless wastefulness of
energy in catering to a pampered

Throughout the Southern Stato3
wnere the gTeat majority of the
cantonments are located and en

ed to a vast degree, the enormous
amount of money whleb is being
paid out there in wages, and' for
o'her purposes amounting to more
tl'an $100,000,000 per month.
The degree of seriousness with
which the food situation is looked
upon varies with the localities and
with the person. In some of the ho
tels and' restaurants, the strictest
attention is paid fo the recom
mendations of the commission, whil«
at others there seems to be utter
disregard to them. Along the Pa
cific coast there seemed to be a
greater desire in the observance of
thn food1 restrictions than In the
eastern portions of the counry.
The intense earnestness in the
water transportation and ocean trav'
el was aiso touched upon, showng
that commission having this
branch of the governmeent's service,
was energetically prosecuted in Am
