VICTORY OVER
GERMANS NEAR,
SAYS PREMIER
Lloyd George Declares British
Armies Now Have Real
Chance in Fight
By Associated Press

London. April Elm an important
speech at the Guild Hall to-day Pre-
mier Lloyd George discussed the mill
itary situation, the Irish question and
others of the major problems with
which the government is now engag-
acknowledgement of the comforting on
him of the freedom of the city of
London.
Mr.. Lloyd George paid a tribute to
the financial community, through the
help of which, he said. British credit
had survived the financial panic of the
early days of the war. This commun-
ity, he said. took an honorable and
leading part in the triumph of the
last war loan, which was the most
remarkable financial exploit ever wit
messed. After alluding to the organi-
cations of the ministry of munitions,
the premier said:
Now Have Real Chance
Now. thank God, our men have a
real chance in the fight. The story
now is very different from what it
was in the early stages of the war;
Before June, 1915, we lost eighty four
guns and a considerable number of
prisoners. Since that date we have
not lost single gun, while we have
captured 400. Regarding prisoners.
we have taken at least ten to one.
The tide has now turned. Victory is
coming increasingly nearer.
During the first eighteen days of
the Somme battle we captured 1000
prisoners and eighty-four guns. Dur
ing the first eighteen days of the
Arras battle our captures were $4,000
men and 230 guns, while we gained

Tree Talk.

Pennsylvania, once the first
lumber-producing State in the
Union, is now twentieth, and
going down. Her cut is now
about one-ffth of Louisiana's.
During the survey of the Kar-
thaus State Forest a birch was
found which bore axe marks
from the original survey, made
in 1894. The marks were buried
under six inches of new wood.
Every year or two some one
suggests that the State Forests
be used as sheep or goat ranches.
The foresters say it is impracti-
cable.
Instead of planting a horse
chestnut, why not plant a real
nut tree? Pecans, hickories, or
English walnuts cost very little
more than horse-chestnuts, make
less litter, and produce a valuable
crop.

Dangerous Sport.

Far be it from US to curtail
legitimate sports of our boys in
vacation time, but when children
from eight years old upwards
carry, and fire, real rifles on our
streets, as seen and heard daily,
we would be negligent if we did
not protest. These rifles are
powerful enough to penetrate
several boards, and would kill
men and horses if hit with a bull
let. The use Of powder rifles, as
well as that of air rifles, inside
borough limits is unlawful, made
so by recent acts Of the legisla-
ture. In at least one recent in
stance, a bullet entered a distant
door and narrowly missed killing
a man. Parents, can you afford
the risk of arrest, or a lifelong
regret for a life taken?

Will Fix Prices.

Secretary Daniels has ordered
coal and oil producers to supply
the enormous quantities needed
by the navy at prices to be fixed
later by the president, when the
federal trade commission has de-
termined a fair rate. The navy
will use 1,750, 900 tons of coal and
so, 000, coo barrels of oil, purchas-
ed under this application of his
authority granted by congress.
Similarly, steel for the entire
navy building program is being
bought at a rate fixed when Sec
retary Daniels rejected the pro-
posal of the steel makers as too
high.
The arrangement regarding
steel orders, the secretary said,
leaves a handsome profit" for
the producer.

Herbert C. Hoover who is in

out a statement in Washington
last Saturday calling upon every
woman in the United States to
support his plans.
Ali women will be asked to
sign a pledge, which if observed,
Hoover says, will save as much
in a year as was asked for the
Liberty Loan. He asks them to
pledge themselves to carry out
the directions and advice of the
food administration in the con-
troll of their household. Hoover
states the general principles of
the instructions are: save wheat;
save meat; save fats; save trans.
portation.

The Red Cross Work.

AS will be noticed elsewhere in
this paper a meeting will be held
in the auditorium in the school
building Saturday evening at
1880 for the purpose of etfecting
apermanent organization for Red
Cross work in this town and sur
rounding community. As the
NEWS stated last week, Fulton is
the last county.in the state to take
up this work. Huntingdon has
a membership of more than 1000,
and Franklin nearly double that
lumber. Not only are County
Seats effecting organization, but
the smaller towns and villages
are taking up the work.
Last Saturday sixty young wo-
men made a house to house can
vass. Of the town Of Huntingdon
and secured between five and six
hundred new members.
Every man, woman and child
in Fulton county should join the
Red Cross. President Wilson
asks ii; Governor Brumbaugh
urges it, and the Committee of
Public Safety of Pennsylvania
urges it. 1t costs you 81 90 to
join. One-haIf of this amount
goes to the Red Cross headquart-
ers in Washington, the other one
half ren aims here to purchase
materials which our women will
make into 'arments for war re-
lief. Memb ship places you un-
der no obligaton whatever. If
you want to worN there is plenty
to do. Neither the Red Cross
society nor the Government has
any hold upon you and expects no
service that is not entirely vol
untary. You may not be able to
join the armed forces, you may
not have felt able to buy a Lib
erty Bond. Every member of
your family can be a member of
the Red Cross and so help in that
way. This is your war, and the
whole country must help win it.
Every one can do something.
Will you not join?

Alfalfa Luncheon

Alfalfa was served to Ken
lucky farmers in the form of hot
biscuits, doughnuts, cake. and
candy, at a luncheon during the
recent annual farmers week ex-
hibition of the Agricultural Col
lege at the state university, as
told in the July Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The progressive
young women of the domestic
science department took care of
the cookery and convinced their
farmer guests that very palatable
products may be obtained for the
table from their alfalfa crops.
The flour of alfalfa is of a
creamy tint before cooking and
a light green afterward, and
while peagreen biscuits may not
at first appeal to the average
housewife the flavor is regarded
by many as rich and delicious.
Food requirements may easily
result in greatly increased use of
alfalfa for flour in the near fu-
ture. The recipes used in cook
ing it are about the same as those
for wheat flour. Alfalfa candy
is made from a glucose pressed
from the stalk.

Notice To Farmers.

There is a shortage of seeds,
especially buckwheat and beans.
Many farmers have a few seeds
left after planting which they
think are of no use. If you have
your supply of seed, estimate your
needs closely and report any sur
plus to w. r. Sloan, Secretary
Committee Of Public Safety in
Fulton County, McConnellsburg,
giving name, price and kind of
seed. Don't let your surplus
seeds waste-yourneighbors need
them. The lot of available seeds
will be open to all farmers in the
county.
