Owing to the demand for food by

the duty of every woman to see that
the tomatoes served on her table this
summer and consumed by her family
this winter should be raised in her
own garden"

SAYS GERMANS ARE
AT FULL STRENGTH

British Chief OF Imperial StaM De-
clarcS Struggle WIZ Entail Heavy
Sacrifices. Glad to Get tmerica's
Aid.
London, April 1.-The British nation
tonight is awaiting with the same
brcathlcsS impaticncc as the American
people the decision of Congress, whose
proceedings are fully reported in the
English press. This is not because
any doubt exists here as to what the
result of the vote in the American
congress will be, but because the ma
ton is anxious to have a formal Off
cial expression Of its sentiments Of sat
isfactiOn at Americas entry into the
struggle on the side Of the Allies
across the Atlantic from Parliament,
which will adjourn tomorrow for the
Easter recess, and there Is general
desire that congress arrive at its de-
cision in time to allow this to be done
before the House OF Commons rises.
Pending the decision OF congress the
ministers and responsible officials in
London hesitate to make any public
expression Of their ideas and scnti-
ments on American cooperation with
the Allies. The present mood of the
British public is perplexcd. On tho
one hand they have daily evidence
from the western front Of the splendid
;success of the Allies continuing ad-
vance; on the other hand, the war of
flco is constantly insisting upon the
urgency of providing more men for the
front, and the ministers are imposing
increasing food restrictions, warning
the coutry that still greater sacri-
fees than any yet endured will be

There were two instances OF this to-
day. Gen. Robertson, chief of the i'm

clared that the Germans are now
stronger by million men than at
any time before and that the struggle

determination. Winston Spencer

try into the war as God granted aid

clarcd that but for this aid no pru-
