1.-THE scheme is Of course tentative
but taken with the American scheme,
it may help to draw public opinion to
this important subject. Obviously no
practical steps can be taken until aft
er the war, but the idea is one which
the public may we'll begin to consider.
1t has received the approval of the
present and late premiers and foreign
secretaries"
The Bryce plan as outlined follows
closely the lines of the American pro-
posal. but goes a step further in the
direction of common enforcement of
decisions and in providing for collective
action against any non-member nation
which refuses arbitration or concilia-
ton, or against a member nation which
commits acts of aggression without
having agreed to submit to the inter-
national tribunal. 1t is suggested that
the greater powers be represented in
the International council by three mem
bers. to one or two for smaller powers,
but Lord Bryce explains that this does
not seem point of fundamental i'm
portance as the functions Of the coun-
ell would be advisory only, and not ex-
ecutive.

in all the shipyards Of the world.
Built for the most part of pine and fir
the ships will range from 1000 to $500 tons
Most of them probably will be equipped
with standardized oil-burning engines
and all will carry wireless and be armed
An average cost OF about 100000 per ship
is counted on by the board. Each will
carry a crew Of about So men.
The first of the vessels are to be
ready in about six months and during
the year following the number aficat
is expected to pass 1000.
Exhaust U-Boat Resources
In their calculations the President
and the shipping board had the advice
of Allied naval authorities and have
computed carefully the ability of the
German U-boats to cope with large
numbers of merchantmen. They are
convinced that by building ships of
only 1000 or 5000 tons and forcing
Germany to pay with a torpedo for
each one sent to the bottom the Unit

WASHINGTON, April PA campaign
of colossal proportions to break down
the German submarine blockade and
keep the Entente plentifully supplied
with food, clothing and munitions has
been determined upon by President
Wilson and his advisers as Americas
first physical stroke against her enemy.
Unable now to send an army into
the trenches. the President believes the
United Statesscan do an even greater
service in the common good against
Germany in providing a great Armada
of merchantmen to invalidate the under
sea campaign. about which have been
rallied the fading hopes of Prussian
conquest.
Details Of Campaign
For weeks officials have been at work
on such a plan. but not until today
was it revealed on how great scale
the task had been projected. Virtually
every detail has now been completed,
and by fall the campaign itself will
be in full swing.
Quickly built. light, wooden ships of
1000 tons and upward are to make up
the feet of merchantmen, and to insure
maximum construction the shipping
board has enlisted the country's en-
tire shipbuilding facilities, now the
greatest in the world. Upwards of a
hundred private plants on all the coasts
will help. giving the boards orders
precedence over every other class of
work except the most urgent naval
construction. When under way the pro-
duction is expected to reach an aver
age of three ships a. day.
Already lumber interests have given as.
surances of an adequate supply of tim
Der at reasonable prices. Engine manu-
facturers have pledged their cooperation,
too, and all the necessary machinery for
the vessels can be assembled as fast as
they can be turned out at the yards.
Appeal for Labor
The question of labor. however. is Civ
ing officials some concern. and a call
may be issued appealing for patriotic CO.
operation by labor to insure that the
campaign against the submarine begin a;
the earliest possible moment. The ship
ping board estimates that 10000 men will
be needed to work all the plants to ca
pacity and to complete the building pro-
gram in the time determined on. This
total is nearly 10 times the number OF
laborers now employed in building mer-
chant craft throughout the country.

DON'T BE SO FINICKY.

The United States department
of agriculture is taking more
than a passing interest in all
those things which pertain to
the home and it's environments.
The department is throwing out
suggestions on foods, and one
of it's latest is to advise people
to abandon food prejudices. Do
not be fnicky. Be willing to
try new foods. Certain plenti-
full and nourishing foods widely
used and enjoyed in one section
are practically unknown in 9TH
,er sections of the country. Learn
to know all the good things, not
a few only. People too easily
get into food ruts; insist on eat
ing only the food they are used
to, and refuse to give fair
trial to others.
This causes undue demand
for certain staples, with result
ing scarcity or high prices when
crops are short. At the same
time other valuable foods may
be relatively cheap and avail

able. A striking instance of this
is failure fully to appreciate rice
"a valuable source of starch
when potatoes are scarce and
high. Another example is re-
fusal in certain sections to use
anything but wheat as bread
stuff, when cOrn-a valuable
cereal widely used elsewhere as
a breadstuf-is plentiful and
relatively cheap.
Learn how to cook all kinds
of staple foods and to serve
them in a variety of ways. SIM
pie dishes we'll prepared are bet
ter than expensive foods badly
cooked. Many persons are preiu-
diced against certain good foods,
because, when first tried, the
