The following joint statement waa issued today by Newton D. Baker, the Secretary of War, and Herbert Hoover, United State* Food Adminiatrator: “A great deal of complaint has arisen throughout the countiy aa to waste'at Army camps. These camps hare been in the main but recently brganiaed and many of the complains occurred during the time that they were^in the hands of contractors and in process of constiniction. The War Department has already, directed the appointed of a commilTfee”'fi1ider Suf"- g’eon General William C. Gorgas,which is co-operating with the Quartermas ter General’s department and the Food Adminiistration and is now actively engaged in investigation and the de vising of means for the prevention of waste. The Food Administration has hade no suggestio,n as to meatless or wheatless days in the camps and has in no way attempted any regulation or control either directaly or indirectly for the feeding of American soldiers.

If this is true then the home paper ought to become, a useful text-'book for parents use with their children; It is the oae universally available. It is easy to feel superior to news papers—until one has tried to make one. But whenever I stand looking down into the pit where s. cylinder press is unwinding 10,000 copies an hour the magnificence of that machine seems to me a symbol of that still more tremendous thing—the steady, passionless, anonymous unwinding of MEN OVER THIRTY-ONE the world’s yesterday, this roll-call of SHOULD BE EXAMINED the planet that we call the morning — — • or evening paper.

The organization of camps for many hundreds of thou sands of soldiers? has been an unpar alleled task and it cannot be expected that the whole machinery wdll proceed with its ultimate efficiency in the first few days.
