Y. M. CA. War Fund
Drive to Be Started
on Intensified Scope

New York, Oct. GA campaign to
raise $35,000,000 for Young Mems
Christian Association camp work on
extended lines, both among the forces
of the United States at home and
abroad and also among the troops Of
Russia, France and Italy, will begin on
an intensified nationwide scope, is was
announced today by the association S
war work council.
The s5,O0OOO0 raised last April, it
was shown, has proved inadequate to
met conditions arising from the fact
that army mobilization has gone for
ward more rapidly than anticipated
even in Washington.
1T was expected that only about L.
100000 men would be called out by
Dec. 3d." the announcement says. 1T
was not dreamed that nearly double
that number would be assembled nor
that a quarter million or more would
be on foreign soil within short time.
Instead of 1000 secretaries, a small
army of $500 had to be provided to
adequately care for the soldiers. and
instead Of 200 buildings, costing $4,000
each, the call came for 500 at cost Of
from $4,000 to $4,000: instead of per
capita cost of So for 100000 men until
Dec 81, actual experience called for SIS
percapita for 100000 men,"
Sectional Apportionnent.
It has been decided that S11,000,00
will be required for troops in this
country until next July and $12,000,000
for troops in action abroad. it being es-
timated there will be 100000 Ameri-
can fighting men to care for.
For raising the $35. 900 wanted in
this country the campaign has been
laid out in accordance with the mill
tary departments. The quota for the
eastern department is $15,oOo.0Oo. The
northeastern department Is to be asked
for $3,500,000, the southeastern for
$1,5O0,00O, the central for $12,50o,000.
western for $780, 900, and the southern
department for $75O,000.

Eat Less of Staples
and Waste Nothing
is Hoover's Demand

Washington, Oct. 27.-"The govern
ment of the United States is asking
every citizen Of the country to eat less
beef, pork, pork products, wheat, butter
and sugar and to waste no foodstuas
as an act of common defense"
This Is the explanation today by
Herbert Hoover, food administrator, of
the meaning of the national food pledge
week, which begins tomorrow and con-
tinues to Nov. 4. Half a million can
vassers are ready for the campaign to
induce at least 13,ooo,90o Of the coun-
try's 22,0OO,0O0 housewives to sign the
pledge to conserve food during the war.
Owing to the large failure Of the
harvest in France and Italy and the in
ability to send the worlds shipping to
remote markets." said Mr.. Hoover, we
have thrust upon us larger duty in
providing foodstuffs for them than we
are capable of executing unless we can
reduce the consumption Of these food
stuffs in the United States. 1t we can
not secure this reduction in consump-
tion we can not maintain them con-

With the French Armies in France,
Oct. 26.-However great may be the
praise bestowed on the French troops
for the brilliancy Of their victory over
the Germans north Of the Aisne rnis
week, 1t is too small an appreciation
of their herculean efforts in the face
of one of the most difficult tasks Of
the war. This is the opinion not only
Of their immediate chiefs but all who
have seen them at work. Fronting them
were the finest divisions Of the Ger
man crown princes army, occupying
positions that were strongly fortified
and having the keenest appreciation Of
their value.
Notwithstanding this. the French not
only succeeded In attaining every OBJ
tective set them, but exceeded the
lhopes Of the most sanguine and ad-
vanced beyond the appointed places.
More than IL 900 prisoners already have
been counted and sent to the rear.
Others are coming in, and large groups
'sffll are hiding In subterranean shell
ters and their fate can only be capture.
THE French line now runs along the
southern side of the Aisne-Oise canal,
without a break from westward OF the
Auxaillon to Pargny rllane, while the
town of Filane has been completely
dominated.

KAISER SAVING DIPLOMATS.
Not Inclined to Exhaust Men Needed
When Peace Comes.

Copenhagen, Oct 27.--The secret Of
Emperor Williams unwillingness to
remove DR.. Michaelis at present, de-
spite the chancellors admitted loss OF
control of the political situation, is, ac-
cording to an article in the Lokal An
zeiger, that the emperor, like a canny
baseball manager. is saving his best
political star for the all-important SER
vice at the conclusion Of peace and
thereafter and is reluctant to exhaust
his stamina by putting him in now.
The majority parties In the reich
stag are inclined to hold, however, that
the emergency probably never will be
greater than now, and the emperor.
perhaps, is disposed to reconsider his
decision.
The reichstag leaders have taken the
week end recess, so the question
whether a crisis exists will not become
acute again before the middle Of next
week.

terrible crises when each side stakes all

men are strained to the limit Of ex-
hauetion for a decision whose effects
will reach far beyond the battle field
and modify the wholo course Of the
war. Italy Is about to meet single

and bear alone the burdens she
hitherto has shared with the Russians
