The United States will send a
volunteer army of railroad men to
France as soon as possible and in
this connection it is said American
engineers had much to do with trans
porting an entire railroad with all
It's equipment and rolling stock from
England to France. Aladdin and
his wonderful lamp exceeded modern
chemists only IN the marvellous swift
ness with which they achieved re-
suits.

A Patriotic Food Song.

Though Judd Lewis is on a read

patriotic song, as in this instance:
Most everybody in this town is
flying him a flag, most everybody
in this town is wearing him tag.
most everybody in this town sings
that 'Star-Spangled' song. and the
Nations with the president, a hun
dred million strong. If we're too old

we'll raise 81 bunch of carrots TO
shoot at the enemy; Wen raise some
okra and Wen spread it roun us

And we viii raise bunch of spudds
to feed our boys, we will, and we'll
send them to the front to them and
never send a bill, for we are with the

and we will open up our face and

As appears from the table, France.
Italy. Russia and Belgium were self
supporting. while the United Kingdom
drew its entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply Of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount Of
about 20 per cent from countries from
which II is now cut OF by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1918 crop in France
has diminished to 100000 tons and
that Of Italy to 5000 tons, and they
are therefore short 10000 tons. The
displacement OF United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1,435.OOO tons: and
therefore, In total. these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons In order to maintain their normal

SOLDIERS INSURANCE
BILL UP NEXT WEEK
Preliminary Work on War Measure
Has Been Completed.

The bill providing for the insurance
OF soldiers will be introduced in Con-
gress next week in all probability.
While none OF the committee OF in
surance experts who will confer with
Secretary McAdoo on the terms of the
measure have come to Washington,
they have been in correspondence with
him, and it is known that gratify-
ing progress has been made upon the
work of drafting a particularly intri-
cate document
The first conferences on the bill
will be held in the secretary's office
Monday or Tuesday. 1t is believed
a new plan. fathered by the secre-
tary, will have the Endorsement of
the insurance experts. The idea in
the main provides for opportunity for
insurance with any of the many COM
panies doing business under the laws
OF the United States. II a soldier

the burden of expense borne by the
United States.

SHOW
BY LOCAL TALENT
Mrs. Newton D. Baker Among En-.
tertainers at Camp Grounds.

More than 1000 soldiers with their
, wives, sweethearts and friends, al
their rudely-constructed "camp thea
ter" in the American University
grounds last evening, enjoyed one OF
the finest theatrical entertainments yet
offered them.
Formality which usually attends a
professional performance was thrown
to the winds. and the khaki-clad SOL
diers apparently had ''rousing good
time"
All variety of attractions had beer
arranged for the men, ranging from
vocal selections by ME=. Newton D.
Baker, wife of the Secretary of War,
TO the petite dances of little Miss
Tereta Shaeffer, with a quantity OF
Hawaiian music, coon songs and mon-
ologues thrown in between.
Mrs. Baker not only sang a num-
ber of quaint English songs and the
Marseillaise. but also a song entitled
"Uncle SAM" which has just been
written by a friend of hers in Cleve-
land.
Another feature was an imitation
of the celebrated actress Elsie Janis,
by little Miss Shaeffer. who is in the
cast of Miss Janis new play.
Other numbers on the program were
contributed by w. C. Stump, Harry
Theis, Miss Grace Myer. Miss H. Hoff-
man. and the Shubert Trio.
Miss Elizabeth Howry and Mrs. Will
liam NJ. Black. under whose direc-
tion the entertainments are being
given. have again appealed for the
use of motor cars to cary the enter
tainers to and from the various en-
campments. Those who would care
to donate ether cars for this pur-
pose should phone Mrs. Black, Main
1856. or call at her offices at 172S /
street.

Reward Women.

American girls and women who
have planted war gardens to help
the nation in its need for an in
creased food supply will be given
American flags and will have their
names listed at the end of the war.
il a bill is passed which has been
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Brand at the suggestion of
Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, widow of
the civil war commanded.
To receive the flags the garden
must have contained more than a
quarter of an acre of ground, and
crops suitable for human or animal
consumption must have been raised.
Mrs. Longstreet, who is credited by
Mr.. Brand for the resolution, is the
author of a book, soon to be pub
