SPEAKS on FISH AS FOOD.
Miss Macdonald Tells Housewives

cSS Cost

Miss Macdonald Tells Housewives
They Can Feed Their Families at
Less Cost.
To be delayed by wreck and APP
pear direct from the late train to a
waiting audience and then to charm
that audience by a delightful expo
sition of fish as food is not an easy
task, and yet it was accomplished
yesterday afternoon at Equal Sui
fragc Headquarters in Richmond by
Miss Rose Macdonald of the Bureau
of Fisheries, and with such ease
that one might think that wrecks
and the like were part Of the days
work.
Miss Macdonald is resident of
Alexandria. She began her remarks
with a quotation from one of Presi-
dent Wilson's speeches: I'VE are
here to serve" and she pointed out
that the women of Virginia, par
ticularly the housewives, are urged
in this national crisis to uphold the
Presidents hands by the practice of
thrift and economy in their selection
Of food
"Cheap foods are not necessarily
economical" said Miss Macdonald,
''for the element of nutrition must
not be sacrificed. and hardworking
men and women must receive the
amount of nourishment in order to
perform their daily form of service,
but you will find that many fish con-
tain as many calories as meat, and
can be made as palatable. We must
not indulge our epicurean tastes
this generation must create a new
social inheritance in the food line for
the generations to follow And fish
canned, smoked or died, which is
recommended by the Bureau of Fish
cries. Miss Macdonald stated, would
he found safe and satisfactory to
purchase.

Food. Feed and Fertility"

The plain truth is that the South
ern farmer must, because Of the ever
rising prices, in large measure go
without the foodstuffs he does not
raise, says the Progressive Farmer.
Corn is locally quoted. now at SLIGO
a bushel and oats at 80 cents, and S2
corn, S1.25 oats and $40 hay within
six months need not surprise anyone.
Wheat has passed 50 a bushel and
may go to So; hogs are SIS hundred
on foot, and may go to $50 or even
S25. People who have to buy their
foodstuffs are already suffering, and
the situation will get worse before II
gets better. ."Food, Feed and Fertil-
ity First" should be the watchword.
Have you made it yours?

'chinery, appliances and rights used
in the business known as Deans Ship

The new owners are already busy

Warns Against Peace Moves.

Petrograd, May 11,-"only COM
pletc defeat of Germany will assure
the Worlds happiness. Peace now
would only be an armistiec. Russia
cannot betray the allies with whom
she has been fighting for three years
In these words today, President
Rodzianko, of the Duma, forcefully
pleaded with the Russian governing
body for answering continuance OF
Russia's part in the war and warn
ed against insidious peace moves in
spired by Germany.
"The war must be successfully ter
minated in a manner preserving the
country's integrity and national hon.

try, there will be no action unless
taken Jointly with the European allies
This definition of American policy
was given at the State Department
Yesterday afternoon as result Of
widespread reports during the last
few days that Germany contemplated
a proposition to this country. Gable
dispatches from Europe yesterday af-
ternoon further indicated that the
imperial government was about to
make another statement of terms.
The State Department made. fiat
denial of reports that proposals from
Berlin had already reached this gov
ernment. Secretary of State Lansing
declared that nothing whatever had
been heard through any channel or
from any source.
Whereas in February this govern
ment would have accepted discon-
tinuance of submarine warfare by
Germany as sufficient concession to
avoid break in relations, it was de-
clared yesterday that even should
Germany withdraw every U-boat she
has from the ocean, it would not lead
this nation to listen to her peace
proposals now.
The question is graver and deeper.
and the department would not make
known the terms it has in mind as to
what peace must be when it comes.
Il is known, however, that the aims
and purposes of the administration
are drafted on the lines laid dowl
by President Wilson in his war adj
dress to Congress. The extension OF
democratic government and guaran-
tees under which smaller nations shall
be safe form the keystone of this
position.
This does not mean, however, that
the administration contemplates max
ing this nation a signatory to- the
joint agreement binding for allies
to peace for all or peace for none
policy.

MEN OF Il TO 50 SLATED
Will he Obliged to Register Within
Next Three Weeks for Service. is
Present Outlook.

Every man in the country between
the ages of q and 81 will be OBJ
| liged to enroll for military service
within the next three weeks. This
was indicated at the War Department
yesterday, following agreement by
the House and Senate conferees or
the selective conscription bill.
The machinery was ready to start
grin6ing on the draft army of 500,-
00G which will be brought to the
colors by the new law. Final de-
tailed arrangements had been COM
pleted to start the gears whirling
the moment President Wilson signs
the bill and says the word.
1t was announced yesterday that
the date for registration had not
yet been determined upon, but that
President Wilson was expected to
set it within week or ten days Of
the signing of the bill. The President
himself will select the date for the
first registration He will make it
public in an executive proclamation
calling upon the men between the
ages mentioned to submit themselves
for enrolment and examination at
certain places already chosen by the
War Department.
The election machinery of the
government has been called into SER
vice for the registration. Registra-
tion booths will be established in
each village, town. hamlet and city
election districts. Officers of the
War Department will be in general
charge and will pass on the exemp-
tions which will be allowed.
It was made plain yesterday that
there will be no effort by the War
Department to limit the first 100000
seelctlve conScripts to the younger Of
the registered men. The law is con-
strued by the department experts to
prohibit this specifically. In other
wards, the 100000 will include not
alone men of 81 and %, but also
