DUAL COMMISSION
IS TO DIRECT WAR

Washington, May 1.-Two war allied
: commissions; sitting continuously
one in London and the other here
appeared today as one of the first ac-
tual steps to coordinate the powerful
resources the United States brings
into the war with those of the allies
across the sea.
The commission in London, with
representatives of all the allied ma
tions, including the United States,
would receive and decide upon the
apportionment of sea-borne traffic.
The commission here would then
charge itself with getting such sup
plies to the seabcard, either by direct
purchase Or through present agencies.
While the inroads Of the submarine
menace costinue it is absolutely es-
sential to conserve every ship for the
most needed freight and the only way
that this can be done is to have the

"WILSONIAN SYMBOL.
HAS BEEN ADVOCATED

New Orleans, May "A plan for
establishment Of the "Wilsonian sym
bol,'' a distinction to be conferred
upon that American selected each
year who, in peace or war, in litera-
ture, science Or whatever field, does
the most, in the opinion of the judges,
toward fastening world peace, and

Mr.. ODonnell, who is visiting here,

most deserving American.

central body in London, which shall
have power to give priority to the
most pressing.
At the same time the commission in
this country. knowing exactly how
much was wanted, would buy in judi
ciously and keep the railroad lines
open to the seaboard. So far the allies
have confused their own situations
to certain extent in this country,
both by competitive buying and by
congesting the railroads and termin-
ais with supplies for which there was
absolutely no tonnage avilable.
The plan now being worked out
sprang from the general meeting on
trade questions at Secretary Lansings
Office last week. 1t has not been de-
cided upon as yet and may receive
modification.

I am advised that in the near future
the officials will issue call for vol

With our country entering the war

their problems. Their need for medi-

severe in the. destruction of medical
officers and ambulance attendants.
Two thousand medical officers for

MAKING OF BREAD
WITH LESS WHEAT

Columbia, May There can be
nothing more important in the South

opinion of Miss Edith L: Parrot,

department, including two score
agents in the several counties at the

New Bread Combination.
1--WE learn from the bureau o.
chemistry that the riglt combination
Of wheat with the following makes
as excellent bread: rye, rice, potatoes,
corn meal, peanuts ana soy beans.
Peanuts and soy beans will be very
valuable as they are rich in protein.
Corn does not furnish sufficient pro-
tein. With the scarcity Of wheat, our
corn will be the chief grain for
bread. Peanuts and soy beans can De
combined with corn to make oeil-
cious breads and also furnish sufn-
cient protein. For this reason and
also on account of the shortage OF
tin and glass containers, we urge our
women and girls to have the acre
age in tomatoes on tenth-acre and
home gardens cut and to substitute
beans, which can be dried, or soy
beans and peanuts for making bread,
for part of the tomato crop. Before
our short courses begin, sJune l, We
will have in circulation standard re-
cipes for drying fruits and vegeta-
bles. We feel that this will certainly
have to be resorted to in part to take

tomato products in soup mixtures,
