| LANE TELLS HOW WOMEN
f MAY AID NATION
(U S. Official Bulletin.)
Secretary of the Interior lame has
sent the following telegram to Mrs.
John Dickinson Sherman chairman of
the conservation department. General
Federation of Woman's clubs, in re
sponse to a telegram asking in what
special line of work the conservation
department of the General Federation
of Woman's Clubs could render the
greatest service in the present national
crisis: :
"The women of America can do no
greater work at this time than to raise
their own vegetables, can their own
fruit, prevent waste in their homes,
and give impulse and .enthusiasm to
the men of the land. If they do this
the will be doing a good 50 per cent
of the work of lighting the war to a
finish. Why not organize all the!
women’s clubs of the United states
Into a bend a Hand to Wilson league,
whose business it will be to carry on a
propaganda for the things the nation
will need—soldiers ships, wheat, pigs,
beans. If the women would also make
it their business to let every farmer
know that his patriotism is to be
judged by the use he makes of his
land, and let every railroad man know
that he is serving his country by
moving the nations' traffic quickly,
and will herself see that the boys and
gills serve in a great maintenance
corps of the nation by putting in their
time feeding the chickens, canning
surplus fruit and vegetables, they can
count themselves among the saviors
of liberty and civilization, because
this war has now come down to a
mutter of work and sacrifice. 1 have
just talked with a woman fresh from
Belgium. When she left, the peasants
gathered around her and kissed her
skirts In gratitude. Practically all of
them have American flags in their
homes, which are looked upon as sa
cred Icons by the Belgian peasants.
Many of those flags have been made
by the women themselves. All Eu
rope must be made to feel that spirit
toward America, and this cannot be
done uness our women give us the
siipport of their enthusiasm and free
for use at the front as large a pro
portion of our food and labor as is
possible by forethough, sacrifice and
energy.”

SEIZED GERMAN SHIPS
WILL BRING HEMP
. .
Secretary Hedfleld of the department
of commerce, announces:
"1 am in receipt of advices from the
United States shipping board, in an
swer to my recent letter suggesting
the use of some of the former German
vessels in the l'hilippities to bring
hemp to th'is country, that this will be
done. There are large quantities of
hemp in the Hh'llippines, and the di
version of vessels to munitions and
freight carrying to belligerent nations
Has curtailed the normal outflow of
this necessary commodity. It is needed
for use in the manufacture of binder
twine, which will shortly lie in great!
demand in harvesting the gra'in crops.
"Three former Oerman steamships
have cargoes engaged and will be used
to bring quantities of hemp. Three
more large former German vessels are
undergoing repairs and will shortly
lie available for cargoes, principally
of hemp, to the United States. There
