AS we live we learn, and we cannot
learn more thoroughly than by en-

can we sympathize with those less

experience.

RETRENCHING IN. KITCHENS.
Well! Well! 1t is to laugh! The
plUtes' wives are retrenching in their
kitchens and they. earnestly request
the poor wOrkingman to do likewise.
Tell me, somebody, if the poor
haven't been retrenching since the
beginning of time The poor work
ingman is retrenching now, not be-
cause he wants to, but because he
must. Show me the average working
mans family that can live decently,
let alone be WastefUl.
We waste S7OO,OOO,OOO worth of
food per year says the trust press.
Yes, maybe they do, by dumping
things in the lake and letting them
rot in the ground and on sidetracks,
so they can force prices higher.
Some of the commission workers
that are on strike know. If these
men who are on strike know of any
food being bought and left to rot, and
they do not tell about it, they are
traitors to the country and should be
dealt with accordingly.

more butter and more eggs in storage

Canned goods are being prepared
for next winter already, and the seeds
are not even in the ground. When you
plUtes and money hogs retrench in
your kitchen and take a basketfUl of

needs them, then you deserve to
have your name in The Day Book

SAVING THE CATTLE

The Agricultural Department al
Washington announces that all re.
cords have been broken in the clean
ing out of cattle ticks. The last bull
letin from the Department says
with broad wedge driven through
the cattle-tick army right to the Gulf
and with new area of 65,520 square
miles in nine States cleaned from
tick to be freed from Federal quar-
antine, December l will be red-let-

industry of the South"
There is not much honor in this
for those misguided farmers who
were dynamting the tick vats in
Georgia and elsewhere
Governor Cats, of Florida, issued
proclamation appointing a day for
the eradication of ticks in which he
urges the people to continue their
splendid support of the movement
which has now been so we'll cstab-

Weekly War News Digest
No News From the Soldier Means
That He is All Right.

Although the failure to receive let
ters from men in the service it not
pleasant to relatives and friends at
home the adage "no news is good
news" never was more true at pres
ent. The report of every casualty at
home or abroad is Immediately wired
or cabled to officials at Washington,
being rclaycd from there without
loss of time to the emergency ad-
dress of the soldier or sailor affected.
1t is also released at once for publica-
ton in the newspaper. No news of
casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home he has been
urged, on the contrary, to keep in
touch with relatives and friends. The
forces in France have at their dis
posal post cards giving general infor-
nation in regard to health and the
receipt of letters and parcels, which
may be dispatched without payment
of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly. Where the
regimental and company designation
of soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to The Ad-
jutant Generals Office, Washington,
d. c. In one week 1,674 letters with
insufficient addresses were received
at this office. On 1882 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to send
ers, 5S went to the dead-lctter office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be
later.

Italians Raid Pola,
Causing Big Damage
Over Three Tons of Explosives
Dropped on Arsenal and
Submarine Base

LONDON, Sept. 28.--Italian aero
plane squsdrons carried out another
extremely successful raid on the Aus
trian naval base at Pola last night.
Scores Of machines, shielded from OBJ
servation by a thick mist, penetrated
the fortified maritime centre of Pola,
according to the official statement from
Rome to-day, and rained more than
three tons Of high explosives on the
arsenal and the submarine base at
Olive Reef, inhicting great damage.
Italian airmen were also active on
the fighting front along the Isonzo, Sc
riously hampering railroad traffic in
the Bazza Valley and destroyeding the
railroad plant at Podserda.
Little infantry fighting took place
during the day, the only action reported
by Rome being an Austrian attack at
Giudicaria. in which the enemy was put
TO flight and two outposts were recapt-
ured by the Italians. The Austrians'
big guns are concentrating their fire
in the Tonale region and making use
of numerous incendiary shells, the ltal-
ian commander reports.
In Albania, Italian troops are report
ed building roads on a large scale over
difficult territory in preparation for a
new offensive. There are no hints of
fighting on that front at present. how
ever.

Russians Capture
Oromaru; Lose Ship

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Russian
forces on the Caucasus front have ex-
tended their successes Of two days ago,
when they drove the Kurds back from
Meri, in the Lake Van region. The
official statement from Petrograd to-
night announces that the Russians have
captured Oromaru, twenty-four miles
west of Meri.
The loss Of Russian destroyer In
the Baltic is also reported by the Rus
sian communication. The vessel, the
Ochotnik, struck an enemy mine of the
Island of Oesel last Wednesday and
went down before help could reach it.
The officers, refusing to desert their
ship, were all drowned, but most OF the
crew were picked up later.
On the northern Russian front to-
day there were only fusillades and
patrol encounters, with no change in
the general situation.

Greek Army of
100000 Will Be
Ready by Spring
Especial Correspondence


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Dispatches
TO the Greek Legation from the Foreign
Office at Athens, made public to-day, ex-
planned the delay in the mobilization Of
the Greek army. The government is
awaiting equipment of all kinds from
Great Britain, France and the United
States before calling out Greece's quota
of 100000 men for military service in
the Balkans.
The plan of the Allies in the Balkans
is said to be to advance upon Sofia,
capital of Bulgaria, and thus to cut off
communications between Germany and
Turkey. Germany is said to be drawing
great quantities of supplies, especially
oil and wheat, from Turkey, and this
traffic cannot be interrupted until the
line is cut by the international army
now operating in Macedonia.
The 100000 men Greece will add to
the Anglo-French troops will give the
Allies preponderance OF strength
which is expected to overcome the
enemy In that theatre of the war.
FUSED Up Military Stores
II was explained at the Greek Lega-
ton to-day that the mobilization by
the warehouses and used up all mill
tary stores and equipment, leaving
available for military employment only
the 10000 troops raised by the provl-
sional government OF Nenizelos az Sa-
lonica, which are now fighting side by
side with the Anglo-French army IN
Macedonia.
England and France have advanced
10 the Greek government loan OF
10000 francs and Greece has ample.
assurances from the United States that
this country will do everything pos
sible to assist Greece in making ready.
While there has not been any loan
granted to Greece by America as yet,
i is not doubted that financial aid viii
be rendered when necessary.
II is believed to be improbable that
the Allies will decide 70 launch an eX-
tensive offensive in the Balkans before
the late spring.
Results Would Be Great
Success of an expedition against
Sofia would have incalculable political
as we'll as military results. In add
ton to depriving Germany of one
OF her principal sources of supply,
Turkey. it would practically eliminate
Bulgaria from the war and would pre-
sent to Turkey situation advising.
separate peace on the best terms she
might obtain.
BY the late spring the Anglo-French
commands will have assembled in
Macedonia enormous quantities of ma
terials for decisive operations there.
Whether Italy will participate in the
Balkan drive is not known, but she Is
in a position, it was stated, TO coordi-
nate her activities in Albania with such
a drive, compelling Austria TO main
tain large forces in Albania and pre-.
venting their being sent to the relief
Of the Bulgarian, German and Austrian
troops which will be massed to resist
the Allies.
1t was intimated to-day that Balkan
statesmen, including the Bulgarian as
we'll as those of the countries asso-
ciated with the Entente Powers, favor
a settlement of the Balkan question
by themselves rather than by the great
powers.

Deimling Scapegoat
For Verdun Failure

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2S.-Lieutenant
General Berthold Won Dcimling, former

VIII be pensioned. according to the
Berlin "Militar Wochcnblatt," which
adds that il is believed he will be made
responsible for the failure Of the Ger
man troops before Verdun. where, in
1916, he commanded the 18th German
Army Corps.
General Won Dcimling was military
commander at Zabern in 1913, when
the historic outbreak between the
populace and the military occurred.
This trouble resulted from an attack
with his sword by German officer on
a crippled shoemaker. which the pop
ulace resented and which led to violent
fighting between the townspeople and
the military.
On the eve of the Verdun battle
early in 1916 Won Deimling published
the following order to his troops:
