Moscow Soldier Returns
Albert Howery is in Moscow, visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Howery, and his sister, Miss Jessie Howery, of the Idaho hotel. Mr. Howery is in the second battalion of the 156th depot brigade at Camp Lewis, where he has been for the past seven months. He is a Moscow boy and enlisted from here last fall. He has only a 10 day furlough and will return to camp early next week. He appears to be in perfect health and excellent spirits.
MAN POWER OF DOMINION BEING DIMINISHED FOR WAR, WOMEN MUST WORK
That Canada is being drained of its man power until women are forced to do the work formerly done by men, and that youths of 19 years are being called to the colors is the statement of S. K. McGuire, of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, who is in Moscow today. Mr. McGuire is here in the interest of F. S. Ratliff & Co., dealers in Alberta lands and is arranging to take a number of land seekers to Alberta on his return trip.
"You people of the United States have not begun to realize what war means, yet," he said. "You have been in it but a year and have really had few men in the British lines. Canada has had three and a half years of it and the results are noticeable everywhere. The man power has been so depopulated that women are in the farm work and other work."  That they never thought of doing.
