cause the troop transportation in
terferes with the supplies to Eng

France alone has a million tons
of supplies in American Atlantic
ports awaiting transportation.
The government admits the sub.
marine menace is alarming
Germany's power lie waning.
A careful compilation indicated
that the allied man power, If properly

shipments of proper supplies.
For every American sent abroad
his weight in supplies must be

AMERICAN TRANSPORT
SUNK BY A SUBMARINE
About 70 Men Lost While on Home
ward Journey to the United
States-Brngs War Home.

Washington.-The American army
transport Antilles, homeward bound
under convoy, was torpedoed and
sunk by a German submarine in the
war zone October IS. About 70 men
are missing and probably lost.
All the army and navy officers
aboard and the ships master were
among the 1877 survivors. The miss
ing are members of the crew, three
civilian engineers, some enlisted men
of the navy and Is of 33 soldiers re-
turning home for various reasons.
Neither the submarine nor the tor
pedo was seen and the transport, hit
squarely amidships, sank in five min
utes.
Thi stragedy of the sea, the first
in which an American ship engaged in
war duty has been lost, is the first
of it's magnitude to bring home to the
people of the United States the rig
ors of the war in which they have
engaged against Germany.

Women Called to Mems Places.

Discussing to what extent women
will be called on Ito take mems pla-
ces" in industry during the war, Ruth
Karr Mckee, taking Canada as an
example, says:
Canada has sent to the front one
in 20 of her entire population. Not
until America shall have sent five
million or more men, will there be a
like condition in the United States.
1t is the consensus of thoughtful
people that the war will not be a
short one, that we must lay careful
foundations, place our preparations
on level that we can hope to main
tain for three years or even longer
yet no one expects for moment that
America will send such an army to
France. We may expect then that
there will be even less disturbance OF
the regular fields of mems and WON
ems occupations here than in Can
ada
The latest statistics available
! (about January, 1910 indicated that
less than 10000 women were EN-

WHY SAVE ONE POUND
OF FLOUR EACH WEEK

Your government asks you to use
pound less of wheat -four a week.
These are the reasons:
The wheat crop of our allies is
short. Our allies look to US to save
them from a wheat famine. They
must have 22O 1000, 900 bushels from
the United States.
If famine comes, they can't fight
Then we would have to carry on the
war alone.
We have only 88.O0O,000 bushels
of wheat more than we use each
year. This we can send them, but
1t isn't sufficient. We can't send
them corn meal, for it doesn't keep
in shipping. We can't send them
corn. for they haven't the necessary
mills to grind it. Where must these
1872, 100000 other bushels Of wheat
come from?
Prone our savings-from you!
There are 100000. 90 of us, using
an average of 5 pounds of wheat flour
a week per person.
If you, by the hundred million, use
only pounds a week. pound less
we can ship those 100000, 900
bushels of wheat. And YOUR pound
is easily saved;
BY having one wheatiess meal a
day-more. if you can--eating rye
bread, corn bread. barley bread, and
other kinds, instead of wheat bread,
and by using less pie and cake;
BY ordering your bread a day in
advance; then the baker will not
bake too much and have 1t go stale;
BY cutting the loaf on the table
as each slice is needed; then none
will go stale;
BY making into buildings or toast
ing every crust or piece that does go
stale.
YOU are the guard over the sol
diers' ration; he will attend to the
enemy.
