KNITTING? DON'T
TELL THE MARINES

General Barnett, major general COM
mandant of the marine corps, has re-
ceived copy of an advertisement
which appeared few days ago in New
York newspapers. signed chairman of
the comforts committee Of the Navy
league, 500 Fifth Avenue" which con-
tained this statement:
EMERGENCY CALL!
KNITTERS.
AN urgent call Is made for 5000
pairs Of heavy winter service socks
for the United States marines now
in France-which are desperately
needed"
Lincoln Cromwell. chairman Of the
knit goods committee OF the council of
national defense, sent a copy of the ad-
vertisement to General Barnett, who
at once wrote a letter acknowledging
receipt Of the statement, and In his
answer said:
ITO say that am astonished at this
advertisement is putting 1t mildly. for
this office has not sanctioned any such
procedure on the part of the comforts
committee Of the Navy league. nor had
1t any knowledge of 1t prior to the re-
ceipt from you or the copy Of the adj
vertisement. The use Of the name OF
the marine corps in this matter is en-
tirely unwarranted and unauthorized
and I can only express my regret at
such a misleading advertisement hav-
ing been published"

News That Pershing Had

American Field Headquarters, France,
Oct. Z. (Delayed)-A long line of
sweating, dusty men across undulating
hills. a colonel on another hill, a roared
announcement from the colonel-and
q tremendous booming roar of cheers
resounding like the victory shouts At
Harvard stadium when the crimson has
put one over on the blue.
This was how Pershings Sammies

expressed his terse emphatic common

Of war-and all for dazzling row of
silver cups donated by General PERISH

WHOLE PROGRAM OF WAR.
The American expeditions best com
panies dug impetuously through the
rocky soil, or raced madly through
trenches, set UP machine guns, fired
| others or savagely charged grotesquely
swaying German dummies. jabbing
their bayonets deep into their straw
vitals. The whole field buzzed with
racing, feverishly inspired men going
through the whole program OF war.
An imposing group watched the men
-Pershing, Sibert and other American
generals with two French generals.
When it was over and the judges
awards had been announced Pershing
himself presented the trophies.
THE "FiGHTIkG SPIRIT"
He briefly commended the entire
contingent for the splendid progress in
training they had shown and empha
sized the necessity for developing q
fighting spirit" He remarked that
the German was racially endowed with
that spirit through long line of mil
itaristic generations.
1t was the belief Of all officers to-
day that the contests had done more
to revive the old regimental COMPETE
tive spirit among the men than any
other event in recent years. Soldiers

save her present holdings before the
crash comes and to discourage Amer
ica's war preparations.
At the state department 1t was re-
peated that President Wilson's pro-
nouncement on peace still stands:
there can be no negotiations with the
Teutons while Hohenzollern autocracy
exists. No faith is placed by govern

proffer. especially in light Of recent
revelations of how German engineers

report was IN the fact that offer, II
true. carries much greater concessions
than the Teutons have heretofore
made. The new concessions may re-
suit from the smashing the Germans
received In Flanders lately and this
admitted shortage in men.
PEACE TALK DISCOURAGED.
Officials here discourage peace talk
at this time. Only yesterday President
Wilson pointed out that such discus
sion hampers war work. Tho nation 10
now well along toward war and peace
talk emanates only from German
sources. say officials. Germany is
anxious to avoid further fighting and
is desperately trying to keep . grasp
on her present holdings before the full
force of American arms 10 felt in the
struggle.
American officials-President Will
son and his cabinet-know that we arc
facing at least another year Of war
and possibly two" one allied diplomat
said. 'To win the war and break the
Prussian military machine America
must continue Ats mobilization and
preparations. Constant peace talk

Germany's peace talk also serves the
double purpose Of auieting a large dis
contented element in the central pow

successful big push" OF last week
Then the weather was ideal, cool and
clear, today 1t was sleety and rainy
with strong winds.
Today's blow comes more quickly
after great offensive than any SINH
lar drive which the British have I'M
dertaken in more than a year. Haig
heretofore has been content to strike
a staggering blow, reach certain speci-
fed objects and then hold these until
every plan was perfected for a further
advance-possibly for weeks
LONDON IN HIGH HOPES.
Haig delivered such a blow last
Thursday. He advanced over a front
OF eight miles. Today-five days later
he has again thrown his line forward.
From this change in tactics London
harbored growing belief that the whole
comprehensive British campaign plan
to cut or tho German. submarine
bases at Zeebrugge and Ostend-now
seemed likely to be realized, possibly
at an early date. In addition 1t is be-
lieved that the sudden change in
Hnig's customary tactics was another
proof Of the complete failure OF the
newly adopted German pill box" sys-
tenn of defense.
The mention of our allies" in the
Hais statement. probably refers to
French troops. which have heretofore
been reported holding part Of the Bel
sian line. Portuguese troops, however,
are also located somewhere along the
British front.

RADISHES AND LETTUCE
POPULAR GARDEN CROPS
Housewives Generally Consider Them
Luxuries on Which They Hesitate
to Spend Money.

Radishes and lettuce are favorite
plants in small gardens because
while these are attractive additions
TO the table, they are in a way luxu-
ries on which many housewives hest
tate to spend money.
Lettuce does not withstand heat
we'll and thrives best, therefore, in the
early spring or late autumn. In order
to have the leaves crisp and tender,
it is necessary to force the growth OF
the plant The usual method of grow
ing the plant for home use is to SOW
the seeds broadcast in the bed and to
remove the leaves as rapidly as they
become large enough for use. 1t is
better. however, to SOW the seeds in
rows II to 16 inches apart. and when
the plants come up to thin them to
the desired distance. With the head
ing type this should be about twelve
inches apart. This will result in the
formation of rather compact heads
and the entire plant may then be cut
for use.
For an early crop in the north, the
plants should be started in a hotbed
or cold frame and transplanted as
soon as hard freezes are over. In
many sections of the South, the seeds
are sown during the autumn and the
plant allowed to remain in the ground
over winter. Frequent shallow cult
vation should be given the crop and,
if crisp and tender lettuce is desired
during the summer months. some
form of partial shading may be nee
essary.
For head lettuce, Big Boston, Han
son, and California Cream Butter are
good varities. The loose-leaf lettuce,
Grand Rapids or black-seeded Slmp-
son are recommended.
Radishes are so hardy that they
may be grown through the winter in
cold frames in the latitude of Wash
ington, and farther South in the open
ground. In the North, they require
hotbeds, but can be sOWn in the open
ground as soon as the soil is moder-
ately warm. They should be planted
in drills ~ to 10 inches apart and
thinned slightly as soon as the plants
are up. On quick, rich soil some OF
the earlier varieties can be matured
in from three to four weeks aftel
planting.
If the plants are allowed to remain
long, in the open ground, the roots
loose their crispness and delicate
flavor, and, in order to secure a con-
slant supply. successive paintings
should be made every two weeks. One
ounce of radish seed is sufficient tt
plant 100 feet of row. A large percent
age of the seed terminates and, if thu
sowing is done carefully, later thin
ming may be unnecessary. The frs
! 1adishes to appear may be pulled as
soon as they are of sufficient size, ant
this will leave enough room for those
| that are little later. The plant is
not suited to hot weather, but should
be planted in the early spring ant
late autumn.
