OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC
ABOUT SAVING
In an open letter to the Press,
Judge Royal A. Gunnison federal food,
commissioner for Alaska, says, among!
other things:
As you are, of course, aware, the
United States Food Administration
has extended its activities to Alaska
and President Wilson has approved'
tin* appointment of the writer as Fed-]
oral Food Administrator for Alaska.)
Mr. Hoover, the United States Food
Administrator, lias stated the pur
poses and hopes of the administration
tersely, as follows:
It is tin* hope of the Food Admin-1
istration to so guide tin* trade in the)
fundamental loud commodities as to
eliminate vicious speculation, extor
tion and wasteful practices, and to
guaid our exports for our own peo-|
pie and to cooperate with the Allies!
to prevent inflation of prices, and that
wo stimulate in every manner within
our power the saving of our food in
order that we may increase exports
u> our Allies to a point which will
enable them to properly provision
their armies and to feed their peoples!
in Winter. •
The Food Administration is called
into being to stabilize and not to dis
turb conditions and to defend honest
enterprise against illegitimate com
petition. It has been devised to cor
rect the abnormalities and abuses that
have crept into trade by reason of the
world disturbance and to restore busi
ness as far as may be to a reasonable
basis.
There is no doubt but that the con
servation and control of our food, and
the stimulation of production of food
materials, is abslutely necessary to
our success in the war.
The newspapers of the country play
an extremely important part in the
work ol‘ the Focxl Administration to
“grubstake’* our soldiers and our Al
lies, for it is through the Press al
most entirely that the Food Adminis
tration is able to reach the individ
uals constituting the great public, to
set forth its aims, the necessities for
the work and what it is accomplish
ing.
fho limited space and facilities of
the Alaska newspapers is realized by
the Federal Food Administrator, but
the patriotism of tin* publishers and
the staffs of the various papers is al
so appreciated. Hence, we have no
hesitation in asking your assistance
in this work.
The Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska has established a Division
of Publicity, under the immediate di
rection of Mr. L. L. Harding, and
this Division will see to it that Na
tional and Territorial Food Adminis
tration news and information will go
forward to you at frequent intervals.

CONSCRIPTION
; OF WOMEN IS
GERMAN PLAN
COPENHAGEN, Jan. 24. — Plans
for general conscription of women ut
ter the war are being mado in Ger
many, and there is a general feeling
that girls, as well as boys, will be
compelled to undergo a regular period
of training corresponding to the Ger
man youth’s service in the army. The
service proposed for girls is not mili
tary, but civil. It is proposed that
all women should, preferably at the
age of 17, be taken from their homes
and compulsory “trained”, either in a
profession, a trade, or in household
duties.
The characteristic German division
between rich and poor is maintained
in the project. Girls of the upper
classes are to be trained in special in
stitutions; poor girls will go to fac
tories or be placed in private house
holds, where their employers will give
them a trifle of pocket money and
make a contribution to the State.
The idea meets with wide commen
dation in the German newspapers,
but one English critic notes that
“there is some difference between
male conscription which puts a man
into a regiment run by and for the
State, and a female conscription
which makes a girl work without
wages for profit of private individ
uals. The latter cannot with accur
acy be called anything but slavery.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 24. —
That the ]*e-education of inmates of
Illinois insane asylums by placing
them in the harvest fields is pioving
a success is indicated by the fact that
2,000 bushels of corn were husked re
cently by a force of men from the in
stitution at Jacksonville.
