washington, Oct 2s-President
Wilson has issued statement urging
every home and public eating place in
port to the food admintstration and
to comply with its requests. His ap-
peal marked tho Inauguration Of FAM
lily enro4 iment week. during which
everybody in the country will be ask
ed to become q member Of the food
administration to insure nationwide
cooperation in food conservation.
The president said that only
through cooperation of the people
can the nation accomplish it's object
in the war. The statement follows:
Burden On q. 8.
1.-THE chief part Of the burden of
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with us In war falls for the
present. upon the American people.
and the drain upon supplies on such
a scale necessarily affects the, prices

Two Places to Make Stand.

Two Places to Make Stand.
Where General Cadorna will make
a stand is not yet clear, but two po-
sitions, capable Of defense. are avail
able. The Germans have reached the
lowlands and are butt nine miles from
Udine, Cadorna's general headquart-
ers. The railroad running north and
south through Udine might make a
defensive line, but the Tagliamento
river, 1S miles west Of Udine, probably
would offer a stronger. one.

the Venetian plains and the over
running Of Northern Italy.
Another Grave Danger.
While the whole Isonzo line is in
grave danger, there is also a serious
threat in the Teuton drive to the
Italian line. in the Carnic Alps and
even in the Dolomites. north Of Bel
Juno. Apparently, Field Marshal Won
Mackensen is endeavoring to drive q
wedge between the armies on the
Carso front and those in the noun

It is the wave Of activity during the
week on nearly every front, however,
that caught the secretary's attention.
Significant operations are in progress,
he says, both east and west, on the
Italian fronts. in Macedonia, Rou-
mania, Mesopotamia and even in East
Africa. On the western front, he
said. new strategic retreat Of the
German forces appears to. be the next
move expected and they must move
back under critical circumstances
from between the two wedges, those
Of Flanders and the Aisne, which
have been driven relentlessly into
their line by the British and the
French.
Italy is passing through dihicult
moment. Mr.. Baker says. The Aus
tro-G German drive is being pressed for
ward by imposing forces. But once
before Italy stemmed the tide Of an
Austrian rush. under less favorable
conditions for the defenders, he points
out, and hurled the enemy back with
only a taste Of victory during the first
days Of his terrific onslaught. Winter
is now coming to the aid Of the
Italians.
The secretary's review follows:
Renewed Activity.
Renewed activity prevails IN all
theaters of war.

"Along the western, eastern and

East Africa, significant operations are
in progress.
''The two outstanding features of
the situation of the week are the re-
lentless British offensive in the Ypres
salient. resulting in substantial gains
Of terrain of important strategic
value and the sudden well aimed and
sustained thrust of the French north
Of the Aisne.
'It is evident that the allied drive
