THE MORNING SENTINEL, ORLANDO, FLORIDA, Friday, May 11, 1917 WASTE NOW AND STARVE TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY U. S. ARMY ABROAD TO USE EN FIELDS In The Social World "HOME DEFENDERS" "Rally round the flag, girls, rally round the flag," doesn't have quite the accustomed ring, but in these days when women are not only coming into their own in various but are receiving some sort of recognition of their ability, it is bound to be heard. remaining here will use Springfields. I After the war the government will revert to the Springfield and will have a large number on hand.

Representatives and senators fre- i quently "knock" the war department every time anything is said about a shortage of munitions reserves for the army. Army officers, in turn, place the blame on congress and produce their yearly recommendations to prove that congress has beei niggardly in making appropriations for ammunition. v. WASHINGTON, D. Representative Tilson told nothing new when he informed the house of representatives yesterday that the war department has decided to adopt the Enfield gun, a British gun, for use during the war with Germany.

Some time ago Secretary Baker authorized a statement that because several large munitions concerns are manufacturing Enfield rifles in this country for Great Britain and are able to turn out 30,000 a day, the war department had determined temporarily to adopt this arm. rechambered for American ammunition. The new Springfield rifle is generally conceded to be the best small arm extant. The war department has about 800,000 of them, not enough to supply an army of the proportions intended for service in France, since ordnance experts figure en about three rifles per man. The Springfield and Rock Island arsenals are turning out only about 1,500 Springrields per day.

The troops which are sent to carry Enfield guns. Those CORONADO BEACH COMING CITY Mr. C. B. King, of Coronado Beach, a promoter of many improvements at that resort, was in the city yesterday for a short time.

He says that town is on the boom and that the development work under way is really remarkable. R. M.

All these women, whether in town or the country districts, are urged to at- I tend.

It is not exactly an exhilarating affair to tend your one little garden day after day, week after week, and month after month, but thousands of splendid women are doing just that. The Home Defenders are planning to make out of this drudgery something helpful and stimulating to every mem. ber. The mere getting, together is a help and add to this the stimulus of active drilling under an army officer, community gatherings once a month with interesting programs and expert advice from headquarters, and it will easily be seen that the Home Defenders can find ample excuse for being. There are no fees whatever connected with the organization.

Bring your patriotism of the finer kind with you and you will be more than welcome. Mrs. Lucile Ross, who has spent the winter in Orlando, stopping with Mrs. L. F.

Robinson, left yesterday for her home at Hartford, Conn. Mrs. Ross will go by boat from Jacksonville, but stated that as a result of her inquiries she was led to anticipate plenty of room aboard ship, as most of her friends prefer to brave train wrecks in preference to subs. THE PLAINT OF THE SEMINOLE Up from the Everglade rising, A cry of pitiful dole, Of hunger and want apprising, Piercing our very soul; A sorrow of man's devising. The plaint of the Seminole.

Only a. few remaining Of a proud ar.d powerful line, Who never would yield, disdaining Their freedom to thus confine Unto the white man's reigning Of selfish and base design. Into the cypress tangle. Into the glades they went. Honing to hunt and angle To trap and pitch their tent.

Far from the white man's wranjrle, Hidden from banishment. But deeper and ever deeper, We camp on their" dim retreat, While death, the terrible Reaper. Follows their wandering feet. And "Am I my brother's keeper?" We cry to the judgment seat. The arrow is gone from their quivei We have taken all we can take.

The meadow, the beautiful river, The hammock, the crystalline lake. Theirs by the Bountiful Giver What have we done for their sake? With the brand of Cain we are branded. And the blood of our brother cries. Where, wasted and empty-handed. Dead on the ground he lies; But to answer, we are commanded By Heaven's accusing eves.

Let there be -just legislation! And, for their happier fate, A fertile and fair reservation Let it be ours to create! Room for the Seminole Nation. Wards of our prosperous State! ROSK MILLS POWERS. Winter Park. THE WAR OF BREAD (By Edith M. Thomas, of the Vigilantes) "There shall be no unwarranted manipulation of the nation's food supply by those who handle it on the way to the consumer." President Wilson.

Of all the wars that waste th's world. Where the life of man has bled. This is the war I most abhor The theft of the people's bread' They who hold back what the kind Earth gave In the billowing fields of grain, A re tb cowrr foes for their secret blow Strikes for their own base gain. Arm of the law. reach forth in your ir.ifcht, And the hidden stores unbind, Anl cefoat their power who, at this hour, Wage dastardly war oa their kind! (By Reginald Wright Kauffman, of the Vigilantes) Meal tickets.

Soup kitchens. Bread lines. And then There's the question America must soon answer the question soon to be asked YOU. Do you know who David Luzin is He's America's representative to the International Institute of Agriculture. He's probably the greatest authority on the earth's food supply.

Lubin says: "There exists a deficit in the suppy of corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, estimated at a total of 150,000,000 bushels less than the normal requirements for the countries open t) trade." Do you know who Herbert C. Hoover is? He's the American as head of the Belgian relief commission, kept Belgium from starving for three years. He's the man who, a. head of the American food board, now has the job of conserving enough food to keep you and your family alive. He's a specialist who has never yet made an error in his specialty.

And Hoover says: "The total food stock today available in the Allied world is not sufficient to last until September, if America continues its present rate of consumption." What are you going to do about it? Lubin says: "We can eliminate high prices by eliminating waste, by the growing of more food, and also by effective organization of our food supply. Our first duty is to prevent the manipulation of food supplies, thus obtaining an effective mobilization, through the plan which is embodied in senate bill 5,973." Hoover says that if we don't want to lose this war and starve while we're losing it we must feed both our allies and ourselves. We can do this, he says, only "by the elimination of waste, and actual and rigorous self sacrifice on the part of the American people. We must plant everything everywhere it will grow, or next year the world will face absolute starvation. And every American man, woman nni child must now forego at least one loaf of wheat bread per week." Don't worry about your income.

Worry about your food. "If we had some ham, we could have a ham sandwich if we had some bread." What's the use of money to buy food if there is no food to buy? Meal tickets, sjoup kitchens, bread lines, and up to you.
