ADJUSTING YOUR MENUS.

In order to make a "Wheatless
Meatless" menu it is only necessary
to keep in mind what wheat and
meat gives to the body and substitute
other foods which have the same
properties. If possible select food
low in cost.
Meat gives the protein Tissue
builder) some fat, and mineral salts,
but it is used for the protein it con-
tains.
Wheat gives starch. small amount
of protein and fat and mineral salts,
but it is used chiefly for the starch.
Potatoes and green vegetables
could we'll be substituted for the
wheat bread. They would give the
required nourishment and answer all
bodily purposes, but the American
people have become accustomed to
bread and no meal seems quite COM
plete without some sort of bread.
Doubtless in the very near future we
will have many satisfactory breads
without the use Of wheat flour, but
at the present time the best bread
which we can use in which no wheat
-four is necessary is corn bread. Our
people are accustomed to it and will
accept IL in place Of wheat bread.
Potato cakes are accepted in some
localities, but potatoes are still high
in price.
Substitutes for meat are numerous
and all quite acceptable to the
American palate.
Fish Of all kinds. eggs. with all
their various methods Of cooking,
cheese dishes, bean and peanut but
ter loaves. are all commonly used in
stead OF meat.
Corn bread will combine nicely
with any Of these imeat substitutes.
1t is only necessary TO make the
proper combination Of the whole
which will satisfy the American
taste.

Aerial Voyages Soon

is equally true as regards periods
when the battle RACES and when
matters are quiet. As a matter OF
fact, airplanes can destroy bridges,
roads, railways, concentration
camps, munition depots, etc., in such
a way as to hinder, IL not to render
impossible, the arrival OF reserves
and supplies of food and material.
Hitherto an exaggerated import
ance has been attached to air duels.
We forget. alas, that the war is not
duel. On the other hand minor i'm
portance has been attached to num-
erically strong raids against the en-
emy's bases. Why? Because they
have been undertaken on too small
scale, and the results obtained al
most never strike popular imagina-
ton. 1t was the same with respect to
artillery. We ran away with our
selves as regards the "75" at the ex-
pense of the $780," In aviation we
lost our way behind the small chas-
ing machine. without paying atten-
ton to the heavy bombardment air
plane. When will 1t be realized that
IL a fortress cannot be demolished
with a '75" neither can a factory be
demolished with chasing airplanes?
Bombardment aviation has a dou-
bic Importance, military and politi-
cal. From military point of view,
it can carry the offensive into no
matter what part Of the enemy's ter
ritory, for it has a superiority over
the artillery in having a greater
range than the cannon and Is able
to drop its projectiles at a distance
Of 400 or 500 kilometers, It also pos
gesses greater rapidity Of fire. FL
nally, there are no intervening OBJ
stacles, and 1t carries Its observers
with it, An army with numerous
squadrillas of large airplanes at its
disposition can, therefore. claim to
possess a formidable heavy artillery
From a political point of view,
aviation is the menacing fist OF the
army, which carries the war into ter
ritory where life is peaceful but
where the people prepare defensive
and offensive means. and in this way
it accomplishes the work of disor-
ganization and decentralization.
1t is necessary for the allies to
have huge bombing air fleets. It is
this aviation these fleets of 200 or
300 large airplanes, each capable Of
transporting 1000 or 1000 Kilograms
Of explosives to drop on workshops,
naval bases, roads, bridges, enemy
reserves, to hinder production, to
exterminate the submarines, to dis
organize the supply services of food,
men, and material, which will hasten
the victorious end OF the war.
The year 1914 was the year of the
Marine, 1915 was the year OF Italy's
entry into the war. 1916 was the year
Of Verdun. 1917 was the year of Brit
ish effort and American Intervention.
May 1918 be the year OF aviation
that is to say, the year Of victory!

The next city to fall in the British

A new drive would likely have for
It's objective Aleppo and the line of
the Bagdad railroad. Capture of
AIeppo. astride the main line Of the
railway, would cut Turkey off from
Asia Minor and almost all Of Meso-
potamia. It would prevent a Ger

ing the Teuton rear and their base
Of operations.
To take Aleppo the Tommies would
FIRST have to take Damascus. Beirut,
connected directly by rail with Da-
mascus, would have to be taken. too.

(By Associated Press.)

washington, Dec. 26.-Plans for
making the nationwide war emer-
gency food survey are well under
way, the bureau Of markets announc-
ed yesterday, schedules having been

GERMAN EYES
FASTENED ON
Il THE FAR EAST
Won Kuehlmann Is an
Fastener" of Most
Pronounced Type
EXIT OF RUSSIA
REMOVES OBSTACLE
Berlin Would Dominate
From Hamburg to the
Persian Gulf
(By Associated Press.)


Boston, Dec. 26.-Secretary Of War
Baker Is right in stating that the
German peace maneuvers should not
for q moment induce the United
States to slaclSen preparations for
war, In the opinion OF H. Charles
Woods, fellow Of the Royal Geogra-
phical society. and a recognized au"
thority on military matters in Eng
land, who now Is in this city.
Mr.. Woods today pointed out that
the exit Of Russia from the waE
would remove one Of the great OBJ
stacles in the way Of the realization
OF the desire of Emperor William and
his advisers for domination from
Hamburg to the Persian district an
area in which they could maintain
their position without sea power.
IF any proof is wanted" he con-
tinued, that the Germans in
negotiating peace with Russia have
in view their future success In the
east, IL would be in the personalities
OF the German and Turkish dele
gates.
"Von Kuehlmann is an avoWed
fastener. At the outbreak of the
war his one aim was to bring about
an agreement between England on
the one side and Germany and Tur-
Key ON the other. favorable to the
latter two countries in regard to the
BaRdad railway.
In this he nearly succeeded, for
he lost no opportunity OF making
propaganda II the most subtle kind
with politicians and journalists,
British and foreign. Indeed, 1t was
nearly impossible to persuade him to
speak upon any other subject.
Thus IL there be q man in Ger"
many who would be willing to make
sacrifices in the west or even upon
questions Of general importance to
Russia, in order 20 secure the CO.
operation OF, or a free-hand from.
that country in the Balkans and in
Asia Minor, il IL Won Kuehlmann.

EIGHT PASSENGER
TRAINS WITHDRAWN

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 2s.-To re-
lease motive power. conserve fuel
and relieve railroad congestion. the
Philadelphia and Reading railway
today withdrew from It's New York
service eight passenger trains, four
in each direction between here and
New York Several local trains
were also annuiled and further cur

A reduction in the number OF
paTlor cars between New York and
washington equal to eight trains has
been put into effect by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
The restricted passenger service,
1t is estimated by traffic experts, will
enable the two railroads to Increase
their movement OF freight by about
10000 tons daily.
