Show : J ' f ' - THE PRESS-BULLETI- N After an inspection trip to a base hospital, Secretary of War Baker made the following reply to an Inquiry concerning hospital conditions: "With Surgeon General Gorgas anil Doctor Hornsby I made this morning a , personal inspection of the entire bast hospital at Camp Meade. The hospital is very large, fully equipped with sci-entific laboratories and facilities, has an adequate number of trained nurses under the supervision of a skilled su-perintendent j its medical and surgical staffs are made up of competent men filled with enthusiasm for their work. The hospital throughout is clean and well cared for; there was an abun-dance of clean linen, a 'plentiful sup-ply of well-prepar- and appetizing food, and every evidence of consider-ate attention to the pntlents was man-ifest I talked with a large number of HEAVY SALES OF pis TREASURY RECEIPTS FROM THIS SOURCE ARE RUNNING ABOUT $11,000,000 A WEEK. WAR CREDITS BOARD WORK When and Why It Authorizes Advance Payments to Contractors New Com-mittee Will Mobilize Colleges for the Training of Troops, (From Committee on Public Information! Washington. Treasury receipts from the sale of War-Savin- stamps are running at the rate of $11,000,000 a week. Savings bank deposits In the last few years have been increasing at the rate of $700,000 a business duy. Treasury receipts show the American people are putting their small saving at the service of the nation through War Savings stamps at a rate far in excess of prewar savings bank accumu-lations. Two billion dollars of war-savin-securities will be Issued. If these are all sold this year the treasury will re-ceive about $1,680,000,000, and at the end of five years the government will repay the loan together with $320,000,- - 000 in Interest. the patients, none of whom knew who I was, and found them cheerful and without a single complaint as to their treatment or comfort. Doctor Hornsby told me at the conclusion of our Inspec-tion that the base hospitals in the can-tonments throughout the country were substantially like the one we visited this morning. It was a most reassur-ing visit. I have long been Interested in hospitals, and if I were to have a personal Illness which required hos-pital treatment I should be perfectly content to be sick in the base hospital at Camp Meade, satisfied that I would receive the attention necessary and under comfortable conditions." In England priority must be given to the manufacture of war-tim- e boots over all but government work. The boots must be made of classes of leather and to specifications approved A statement prepared by th, war credits board includes the following explanation of its functions and activi-ties: "When a concern that has a. contract with the war department for supplies has shown the board that it needs finan-cial assistance and has been able to comply with the act by giving adequate security, the board has approved an ad-vance payment and the money has been received ; in many instances where the case was urgent the money has been paid over to the contractor the same day the application hus been filed. However; the board does not act in any sense as a bank. It is only when the manufacturer has reached a point where financial assistance Is needed, in addition to his banklngllnes, that ap-plication for advance payment for his goods is considered favorably by the board." Between the time of Us creation in November and January 24 the board approved advances to contractors to-taling $145,551,000. It is estimated that within the next six months 75,000 to 100,000 men will be given intensive military training In schools and colleges. They will be drawn from tHe armed forces of the nation, men now in training camps or about to be called, and registrants under the selective service law. With a view to mobilizing the educa-tional institutions of the country for this special training there has been created in the war department a "com-mittee on education and special train-ing." It will encourage and arrange for the technlcnl education of men needed by the several branches of the army. A "War Cyclopedia," providing the public with information on the great war In the form of a handbook, is the latest publication issued by the com-mittee on public information. The salient facts of the war are briefly stated In alphabetical form In 800 pages. The cyclopedia also con-tuln- s a chronology of outstanding events ranging from the murder at Serajevo of the Archduke Francis Fer-dinand, June 28, 1914, to the British national labor conference's approval of President Wilson's war alms, December 20, 1917. The volume may he obtained by ad-dressing the Committee of Public In-formation, 10 Jackaon place, Washing-ton, D. C, and Inclosing 25 cents to cover cost of printing. While figures are not yet available on the proportionate number of $1 und $5 smlleage books being purchased for use by men at the camps and canton-ments, the commission on training camp activities, in charge of the sale, states that there has been unexpected demand for the larger books. Smlleuge books selling for $1 contain 20 coupons good for admission to camp entertain-ments; books selling for $3 coutuin 100 coupons. From two to five coupons are re-quired for admission V Liberty thea-ters at the camps, although many of the productions are of the class which command $2 prices In metropolitan houses. Plans for the aerial mall route be-- I tween Washington, Philadelphia and New York contemplate the line of nia-- J chinos capable of carrying 300 pounds of mull a distance of 200 miles without stop. A special postage rate would be charged not exceeding 25 cents an ounce. In reply to Inquiries regarding the possibility of redistilling seized spirits for alcohol the war department has an-nounced t lint the small amount of alco-hol recovered, the cost of transporta-tion, reeooperuge and redistillation would make the cost to the government greater than It Is now paying. The av-erage yield from eonilscated liquor would not exceed 5 per cent of alcohol. The war department now permits " omen to qualify as Inspectors of j 1111111 urms, according to an announce, j ;.i lit by the civil service coiuiuissloa by the director of raw materials ; the manufacturer must stamp on the up-per his registered number and on the sole the retail price, together with the words "war time." , The following are examples of styles and prices per pair : Men's heavy shoes, $4.50 ; city clerks' shoes, $4.87 to $6.39; women's stout shoes, $3.18 to $4.20 ; women's first-grad- e glace shoes, $3.83 to $5.96; boys shoes, $2 up; girls' shoes, $1.87 up. Altogether there will be 39 types of wartime boots. The heels of women's shoes are not higher than 1 inches, but It Is understood that wartime shoes represent in all particulars the manufacturers' ideas of what the public desires. Small stocks of corn in the hands of dealers in New England and other Eastern and Southern states, with the exception of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, where surpluses were pro-duced, are indicated by reports to the department of agriculture. Actual available supplies In the Southeastern states ar said to be greater than ever before, although the amount of corn In the hands of distributors and other dealers Is much below normal. Most districts in the Southeastern states have sufficient supplies for local needs, while dealers in many places, especially Mississippi, Alabama, Geor-gia and Florida have shipped large quantities of corn to the larger mar-kets. No commodities may now be export-ed from the United State, nor Import-ed, without license, According to a statement by the war trade board the military and tonnage situations have made increasingly apparent the neces-sity of instituting a complete and thoroug-h- going control of all exports and Imports. Licenses for the export or import of coin, bullion, currency, evidences of debt of ownership of property and j transfers of credit will be Issued by the treusury department; licenses for all other exports and imports, includ-ing merchandise, bunkers, ships' sup-plies, etc., will be Issued by the war trade board. The director of athletics at one army camp has arranged a program as a means of determining the relative ath- - letlc caliber of the companies In the di-vision. Each man is required to pass in eight of the following tests to obtain a positive mark for his unit : Jump 8 feet from a stnndlng posi-tion ; chin 10 times ; clear a bar at I feet 2 inches; throw a shot 33 feet? climb a 20-fo- rope in 15 sec-onds; dash 50 yards In 7 seconds; run a mile in 6 minutes; lift a weight over the bead with one hand; sit up from a supine position with a weight suspended from the back of the heud. There is no standard recipe for "vie-- , tory bread," the only requirement be-- 1 lag that it must contain not more than SO por cent of wheat flour, the remain-ing 20 per cent being composed of corn meal or corn flour, rice, potato flour, or other cereals recommended by the food administration. "Victory" plesj and doughnuts, which contain not less, than one-thir- d nonwheat flour, may be 'sold on wheatless days If the same' recipes are used throughout the week. The limit of time for filing Income tax returns has been extended to April 1. In order to assure prompt and accu-rate Identification, the war department has adopted a system of numbering en-- ; listed men of the urmy. The system provides for one series of numbers,! without alphabetical prefix, for all eu-- ; listed men. The number assigned to a soldier will become a part of his offi-cial designation, and will never be changed nor assigned to another man.
