Many men add to their ration by

bread the most popular artisle of
s'nnerce is a new book designed to

A.s this will be useful TO prisoners.
II also contains such useful bits OF
pssting for the Germans as Throw

direct bearing upon the opinion Of the
world as to the sincerity of the Allies
aims.
"They mean" continued the former
Premier, that the Allied nations now
include an overwhelming majority of
the free peoples of the world. The AL
lies are fighting for nothing but free
dom and nothing short of freedom.
Earnestly as we desire peace, no
peace is worth having which would re-
store, under some thin disguise, the
precarious status quo ante bellum, and
would leave countries like Belgium,
Serbia and Greece at the mercy Of
autocratic intrigue or under the men,
ace of military coercion.
ut would be premature and futile to
grapple in detail with the geographical
problems eventually to be solved. The
principle clearly agreed to by every
one of the Allies is that in any rear
rangement made the governing princi-
pie ought to be the interests and the
wishes of the populations affected. But
is that principle acceptable to the Cen
tra Powers? Is Germany prepared not
only TO evacuate Belgium, but to make
reparation for the colossal mischief
and damage which accompanied her
lHc pIhCllCdi
enslavement of a large portion Of the
Belgian people? Is she prepared not
only to do that, but to restore TO Bel
gium, not pretence of, but absolute,
independence

answer TO these questions. / find no
answer in the vague, indeterminate for
mule of the Reichstag. | have no de-
sire to say that peace is impossible,
but ! cannot see, from what has re-
Gently occurred in Berlin, any real ap-
Proclamation of practical kind TO the
aims and objects of the Allies"
Mr.. Asquith thought that the Ger
man people were the greatest obstacle
10 peace, but said that was matter
for the German people themselves. So
far as the Allies were concerned the
hest hone of peace, he said, was frank
and open statement of the objects for
which they were fighting, and as
means 20. that end he welcomed the
fullest use of all opportunities for an
interchange of views between represen-
tatives Of the great democracies. 1t
could not be too clearly stated that
this was a matter for the peoples, rs-
ther than the governments.
"Once that is realized by the democ-
racies Of the world" continued the for
mer Premier, 1--WE shall be within meas
urbale sight Of an honorable and last
ing peace"

Party Opposes
Mann S Fight
For War Board
Republicans Declare Against
Further Delay to
Food Bill

Washington, July 26.-While Senate
and House conferrees were beginning
their work to-day on the long-deiayed
Food Control bill sentiment among Re-
publicans crystallized against further
delaying enactment by continuing Re-
publican Leader Mann's fight for crea-
ton of a joint Congressional commit
tee on war expenditures.
At an informal conference of Re-
publican representatives it was made
clear to Mr.. Mann, according TO those
present. that no partisan fight on the
ouestion at this time could command
the support of the party's representa-
tion in the House.
Former Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentative Miller, of Minnesota, made
the principal pleas against the party
leaders course. and although no vote
was taken the general agreement after
the meeting was that the fight for the
War Committee amendment would not
be pushed. .,-,
Hope of getting the measure through
conference and ready for President
Wilson's signature next week was
frightened somewhat by the develop
ment. but the leaders pointed out that
even with agitation for the war COM
n,ittee amendment silenced IN the
House, the Senate remained on record
ga favorng 1t. and hght there Sun
was possible. The President has asked
that the provision be eliminated be-
cause he believes it will only harass
those charged with conducting the war.
The conferees met twice to-day but
ACCOMPLISHED little. They pledged
themselves to absolute secrecy, but 1t
is known that they passed over the
uhopposed Senate amendments for me
time being and discussed generally
differences between the two Houses
over other amendments. Included III
these were the proposals for war
expenditure committee and for food
control board Of three members.
Prompt action was promised by most
of the conferrees, some predicting
agreement by tomorrow night. In
other quarters, however, it was pre-.
dicted that disagreement on some OF
the principal disputes probably would
be reported. 1t was declared probable
that the House conferrees might be
forced to ask for instructions and
vote on some of the disputes.

Puts Curve
On a Bomb

A private who once pitched in the
Southern League says he has developed
a curve for bomb throwing. He is ex-
perimenting with a wide out-drop to
wing unsuspecting foemen who seek
shelter close to the parapets.
Tomorrow there will probably be
many sore arms and shoulders, but
to-day the men enjoyed themselves
hugely, for there was more of game
element 70 bomb throwing than in
reneh digging or moving around the
country in heavy marching order.
There was drill for battalions in
'eeurscy, as well as speed and distance.
The bombing was begun at ten metres
and carried on up to twenty. There
Sss also machine gun practice at many
points in the camp.
One Of the first casualties occurred
yesterday, when a private found q
losded grenade in a field where tho
french had been practising. He tried
70 open il with hammer and the bomb
.Iploded. He will probably lose his
EFT hand.

The bomb sped along some eighty
Eve metres before it came to stop.
IN. trio Of instructors were on the SOL

hat il was one the longest bomb throws
they had ever seen, they insisted that
Il would not do. There was not enough
care for efficiency, and, besides, the SOL

fast His arm, they said, would never
rand the strain of an overarm throw
for more than a few minutes.
Some Americans are inclined to doubt
this. The grenade weight is little more
han a pound, and our soldiers believe
that any man whose throwing muscles
have been particularly developed can
keep pegging away for some time.
For the most part, however, the men
tossed their bombs with the long over
arm sweep used by all the cCntending
arnies. Sometimes the temptation
sould prove too strong, and with a
shoop the soldier would cut loose

like grip around st. Quentin exerted
by British and French forces, picked
German troops we're hurled against
French line northwest of Rheims last
night and today in one of the most
powerful diversions" attempted in
months. Object of attack was plain
ly to force huTTying of reserves from
other portions Of the line to aid of
attacked French troops, thus reliev-
ing allied pressure against German
front around st. Quentin.
Front dispatches today declared
fighting in Rheims sector was pro-
ceeding with undated violence. The
French were forced to relinquish a
few trenches here, but for most part
succeeded in reCaptUring those
points which fell in the first fury of
German attack. TeUtOns' assault
was attempted over front of more
than a mile.
Meanwhile dispatches indicated
systematic progress in encircling
movement around st. Quentin by
both French and British forces.
Paris.-French forces made large
gains north of LandricoUrt, south of
the Disc and also re-occUpied some
trenches northwest of Rheims which
were taken in first rush of German

Mrs. S. G. Taylor who is at Duke

lor's letters are very interesting, for
he tells the intimate affairs of camp
life. such as one rarely comes in con-
tact with. OF course there is neces-
sar,ly much that is gruesome, but
there are many lighter touches that
brings one to closer insight into
things as they are. For instance
Captain Taylor tells of his visit to n
town recently destroyed by Zeppo-
Inns. He said he found barber shop
with the front entirely gone, but the
barber chairs remaining. The man
in charge" was boy, who agreed tc
give Captain Taylor hair cut, h.
managed by putting large bowl over
his head, and carefully clipping of
all the hair that stuck out around
the bowl.
Captain Taylor told of mai

the camp but no light or anaesthe
tics. Captain Taylor held his flasf
light for the surgeon to work by
and the hand of the injured man

cONCERNING THE LIBERTY LOAN.

NNTE havo been in this With Germany just about
' forty days and a crisis faces the country thus
early in the game The government, greatly preoccu-
pied with the tremendously important subjects Of maxi
ing ready tho navy the army OF our country should
be in a position where It may feel perfectly at case
regards financing the war But that is exactly
where the shoe pinches
Congress has voted the money But the mere vote
unhappily does not supply the money. This can be
supplied only by the people Of the United States And
they supply only by subscribing to the Liberty
Loan
n the loan fails II the richest country in the world
has the disgrace of failing where England and France
and Germany have abundantly succeeded II the ma
TONS appeal to the individuals who make up the
country falls on deaf ears then America has been de-
feated in the very round Of the war and another
triumph has been scored for Germany Every Dela-
warean should remember that fact.
Men and munitions and supplies can only be pushed
forward to the firing line by the Of money And If
the money is forthcoming our men, our munitions
and supplies will stay right here at home Which
is exactly where the Kaiser and his advisers want them
to be.
At the present time, with all the chances favorns
victory for our Allies and ourselves, II our govern
ment quickly and thoroughly, there Is in this
country both liberty and money to lend II delay,
II we daily If we faer il hesitate. thereby help
ing the Germans to this war, there will be some
thing serious than defeat for our Allies It
will be defeat for too II will mean loss both OF
our liberty and Of ability to lend For victorious
Germany would make Of us subject nation as it
would OF a conquered France and a conquered Eng
land.
And then all Of us, instead Of advancing money to
our own government and receiving in return bond
that good investment and that paid good rate
OF interest would have turn TO German indem-
nifty collectors all Of savings and large part of

because we arc the richest nation earth and when
she is through with us we may be one OF poorest
earth in ready cash.
That's why this loan is for libery-for our
liberty, for the liberty of the entire world.
It is the duty Of patriotic Delawarcans TO cooper
ate with the Wilmington National Defense Committee
and the Bankers and Brokers' Committee TO have
city and State do its full and fair share in the work Of
floating the Liberty Loan.
