The decision OF the Chicago Daily
News and the Chicago Tribune to
raise the price OF these newspapers
from one cent to two cents. is n news
happening of much interest and sig
nificance to close followers of the
newspaper situation in the big city by
the lake. The News and Tribune
will not suffer In circulation OF pres
tige for they are founded on the solid
bed rock of public confidence. There
are no better newspapers anywhere
and they are dominant in their field
Whether some of the remaining news
rapers in Chicago can convince the
public that they are worth two cents
Is matter for speculation. Later

We're gathered many of the army
and navy experts who are directing
the governments activities at the

being as optomistic in regard to the
present situation as people generally
are. Their intimate connection with
the plans OF the United States and
thorough familiarity with condi.
tons along the various battle fronts
made their opinions very interest
ing to me. The very serious situa-
ton OF the United States and the
allies is, according to them, very
largely underestimated. The sub
marine menace is considered eX-
tremcly difficult at present and
while all have hopes OF effectually
meeting this form of warfare they
all admit that at present it has not
been solved. Russia Is also being
viewed with a grea, deal Of alarm.

that only the continued and violent
offensive of the French and British
on the western front keeps Germany
from marching straight through to
Petrograd. They tell of the an.
initiation of Russian regiments

firing a shot, on account of the ST.

reason for the constant offensive Of

Dried Vegetables May Help Win War

We can well profit by the experience
of the farsighted Germans, against
whom the allies and our country are
now contending, in the matter of pre-
serving food for future use bv driving.
Germany has successfully dried fruit
and vegetables on large scale for
years, and the dried products now form
a substantial part of the nation S diet
The Germans do not can products as
extensively as we do, and the dried
food largely takes the place of canned
fruit and vegetables.
The allies have found that vegeta-
bles are a necessity for the men in the
trenches, and in the fall of 1915 they
contracted for great quantities of dried
vegetables which were purchased and
dried in western New York Last
year, partly because of poor crops in
that section, vegetables were pur
chased and dried in Canada. Much
may depend ON our ability to be able
to furnish dried vegetables and fruit
products to the allies this fall and win
ter in large quantities. 1t has beer
demonstrated that the dried products
even though crudely dried are accept
able to the soldiers and saiors-Farn
