withdraw somewhat at several points
to %re'arrange their positions.
A considerable number of German
communication trenches had become
untenable as a result of the British
drive into the enemy front lines last
week and the Germans abandoned
these for more favorable ground.
Elsewhere along the new battle
front no change in the situation has
been reported. Hard fighting still
continues for the possession of Bour-
Ion Village, with the British holding
the upper hand.
There was considerable artillery ac.
tiyity during the night, but generally
speaking, things were quiet. Notwith
standing the heavy rainfall of the last
week, the ground is firm and favor

Peril to Italy Ends.
Apparently the peril Of the Italian

FEEDING THE
AMERICAN ARMY
Depends Largely Upon On Con-
servatiOn at Home.

particularly with regard to the
wheat supply and breadBtuffs,
depends largely upon the conser-
walton efforts Of the people of
the nation, Frederick B. Mum
ford, federal food administrator
for Missouri, declared upon his
return from a conference with
Herbert G. Hoover, food admin
istrator, at Washington, D. C.
Success in the war largely de-
ponds upon the wheat we are
able to send across the Atlantic.
This wheat will be the wheat
which is saved for export by
food conservation in this
country for the normal export
surplus of the country, 100000
600 bushels, for this year has al
ready been exhausted and our
exports at the present time total
10000, 900 bushels. From this
situation, it is apparent that if
we desire to continue this ex-
portation-and we must not
discontinue it at any cost-the
people of Missouri and of the
United States should make it
possible by "wheatless" days and
a more extensive use of wheat
substitutes"
"Still further reduction of the
consumption of wheat products
is the aim of a plan now being
perfected by the United States
Food Administration and was a
topic for extended consideration
at the conference of federal adj
ministration for the various
states from which | have Just
returned"
"The people of Missouri should
be extremely careful to not in
any way slacken their observa-
tion of the "wheatless' day and
their use of substitutes for
flour and other wheat products
on other days. Every person
should realize the gravity of the
situation and their own person.
al responsibility and opportuni-
ty for service"
Massachusetts is now OBJ
serving two "wheatless" days
and a third is being contemplate
ed. Other states are planning to
have in addition to the one
"wheatless" day each week, a
pledge for seven "wheatless"
meals. All states are being urg-
ed by the United States Food
Administration to use every pos
sible means of saving the supply
for export. Missouri should add
her share to the amount of
wheat saved by substitution and
by observance of the week GAY
when wheat is not used"

Can Use SOrgum in Ice Cream

Can Use SOrgum in Ice Cream
I'VE are asked just now to
save the sugar and the necessi-
ty for this is being forced upon
us by its scarcity" says Miss
Louise Stanley of the University
of Missouri. HAS it ever occur
ed to you to use sorgum instead
of sugar in ice cream and other
frozen desserts? In this case it
serves as both sweetening and
flavor. A little vanilla or nuts
added keeps the sorghum flavor
from becoming monotonous."

given by Miss Stanley, who is
head of the University's home
economic department:
