The Anaconda Standard discusses Italy's World War alignments, Germany’s broad diplomatic split, and regional training camp placement for National Guard troops. It argues that camps are in the South for late-season outdoor training and milder climates, with Baker's War Department explanations.
War year closes with pivotal events including US entry, Czar abdication, Constantine’s forced abdication, Alexander’s Greek throne pledge, Francis Joseph’s death and Charles’s succession, plus ongoing German air and submarine campaigns. Allied morale remains high despite limited gains.
The piece argues Germans may question the Kaiser about Germanys isolation and lack of true friends, noting former allies like Hungary Austria Bulgaria and Turkey are wary of German policy. It suggests neutral nations are turning against Germany and warns that hesitations and mismanagement risk further desertion as the war drags on.
The return to work of large numbers of Butte miners brings day shifts full and night shifts likely to resume. Production of copper is expected to rise to normal levels as the mine operations stabilize. The T W W efforts to close the mines failed, with wages and conditions deemed satisfactory to miners while agitators press for a strike to aid Germany.
A Blanchard editorial laments a German policy that treats infant nutrition as a national interest. It cites forced milk controls, price manipulation by dairies, and state penalties on feeding milk to livestock, arguing a system that starts with mothers and leads to child deprivation even as Germany pursues world conquest. The piece criticizes profiteering and bureaucratic measures that worsen infant hunger while rationing favors state aims.
A fragmentary 1917 piece blends wartime social notes with home economy advice. It cites milk feeding regimes for infants, England’s health measures, labor unrest, and sharp social commentary, then shifts to practical tips on preserving garden produce and kitchen hygiene.
A stream of disjointed lines references temperance, siege talk, and dwindling complaints about shortages. It mentions internal Russia, delirium tremens, a "free lunch counter," and a general shooting it up, all in a fragmentary old newspaper voice.
A woman demonstrates a three part suitcase with legs that unfold to form a dressing table when opened. The design allows compact storage and a stable working surface, reflecting early 20th century portable furniture ideas.
Wartime hygiene and diet measures from French British and allied practices are outlined. Advice covers poison use, white phosphorus recipes, whitewash for hospital partitions, vaccination against typhoid, sanitation of latrines, feeding and cooking methods, and clothing and personal hygiene to prevent disease and exposure in trenches.
A brief note references Topstight from 1917 by Dr. W A Evans, detailing use with soap and mouth rinsing as part of its application or advice. The fragment hints at a medical or dental context linked to product or procedure and a named author.
A collage of clipped quotes from multiple papers features sharp lines on Hoover, Reed, Bryan, and the Kaiser. The notes reflect partisan wit and historical views as editors parody current events, tempering rhetoric with irony and a touch of boosterism.
A jumble of short, humorous exchanges and quips from The Post, Washington Star, Boston Transcript, and New York Sun. The fragments feature jokes about appendicitis, hats, wealth in Wall Street, advice, and courtroom banter, reflecting early 20th century newspaper humor.
