Second Helpings
government.


From The Eostoa Herald
Word comes from Camp Devens of very
practical method Of food conservation. When
a soldier asks for a second serving Of any
kind Of food the second serving is promptly
forthcoming, but if he leaves any Of it un-
eaten his plate is carefully put away and
tagged with his name. At the next meal that
leftover is put before him for his first course.
A simple and sensible plan to push along the
programme Of wasteless meals. IL is worth
the attention Of Mr.. Hoover and his enter
pTsng associates. Where wheatless and
meatless meals here and there stir resent
ment or bring up practical difficulties. espe-
cislly in small families, nobody will argue
against wasteless meals. And one Of the
most effective ways 20 guard against waste
Of food is 10 refrain from taking second help
ings that are not really desired or needed.
Too often most Of us yield TO the hospitable
and well meant invitation to have some
more" when we have already had enough, and
the result In many cases is uneatcn food left
on tho plate for the garbage man. There is
food enough for US all, but there Is no food
TO be wasted that way or in any other way,
md the lessons that our people are slowly
and reluctantly learning will be very usefrl
in the days Of peace that will some time fol-
low this period Of trial and sacrifice.

Funny, but True
The Teutonic Claim to Rodin Is
Serious Business

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The Germans claim on Rodin might
seem funny but it is a very serious matter.
It does not surprise any one who has noted
Teutonic tendencies. Let there be no mis-
take about it, the intellectual German is
perfectly sincere when he claims Rodin. HIS
humber brother is just as sincere and con-
WINGED that soup is German invention be-
cause Germans make a noise when they eat
IT, At least, this is conclusive proof that
they are the only people who appreciate it,
A charitable view of the Rodin attitude
might mislead US to suppose that what is
meant is that as all art belongs to humanity
so Rodin also belongs to the Germans. But
this is not what is meant at all. The Ger
man is prominently a hero-worshipper
There is no country in the world where
celebrities receive such blind homage.
There is that element Of the grotesque and
the elephantine found in so many things
German. When Lenbach, quite a second
rate painter, but a celebrity, entered
Munich theatre the audience used TO rise.
10 people either take themselves or their
heroes quite as seriously.
French nineteenth century art, as we
kNON, mas bttU GitHtig aPPiNNt"SNN ~ w
many. Something "Kolossal" has been made
of IT, The praises of Renoir, Manet, Monet
and Degas have been gurgled and their beau
tiful works have been Tapped up much as
Boche used to lap up his bisque at Mar
guery's before the war. The French take
their heros like a cultured people who are
used 10 them. They have their proper place
and the world goes on moving. The Ger
mans cannot understand this. They begin
by being outraged at what they mistake TO
be a lack Of understanding, and forthwith
constitute themselves the champions and
protectors of neglected geniuses."
They work themselves up into a state Of
fanatcism and end by believing that the
Robins and the Renoirs and the Shakes
peares belong to them. No one was more
misled than Roman ROLAND and his fol-
lowers in estimating Germany, and the entire
world was rapidly falling under the spell of
this curious people.
and we had better look out IL is just this
fanaticism that has been their strength.
The German has always felt very keenly
that he is ridiculous. even in his successes.
His attempts TO behave as other people have
made him even more ridiculous. The world
used TO smile at the old-fashioned German
and his frau, but il was a good-natured
smile. What Germany really means by
place in the sun is place in the boudoir.

Help for Italy
Orphans and Refugees of Invaded
Provinces in Distress

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following cablegram has just
been received from Italy:
American waldensian Aid Society, New York City,
Help urgently needed now for our war orphans
and refugees from invaded provinces. Letter follows
GLAMPICC0LL
We are sending this appeal to you now,
lust as we have received it, not waiting for
the letter for fear there will be too much
suffering in the meantime.
The refugees flom our own churches will
be thousands, for we know that our work
was established in at least six towns, and
there were many groups in the invaded ter
ritory. and we have at least thirty churches
between Venice and Milan. These, added to
the countless refugees that must be cared
for from the stricken district, make an al
most impossible burden for the Italian peo-
pie, whose food supply is terribly depleted.

This Informal War

damnedest" is amply equipped with pep
and similar highly esteemed qualities of
the day, but it is distinctly weak on form.
1t fits in very well with Mr.. Lloyd Georges
Knockout" vocabulary. 1t is long dis
lance from Mr.. Asquith and the Oxford
tradition. 1t has almost an American, not
to say movie, favor.
Such results are inevitable in an in
formal war. The old caste of fighting
men has gone the way Of much ancient
heritage in this peoples war. The whole
outfit of trappings has been transformed.
The modern soldiers khaki is more shape
" than workman's overalls. But it is
designed from much the same point Of
view. War has been industrialized, and
good form, fine language, elaborate ETH
cuette find little opportunity to disport
themselves.
Must all style therefore be anathema?
Will any slang do for a generals dis
patch? We guess not. 81 pro- Sc 10

art to-day as when it was penned at
Spottsylvania Court House. 1t has rather
more force and distinction than 1--WE have
met the enemy and they are ours" which
shows a suspicion of sententiousness by
comparison.
1t is a direct and straightforward era,
as becomes a period of democracy. But
the greatest art shares the same quail
ties. Perhaps we shall have cheapness
and slang instead of pomposity and pre-
tence when the second-raters take their
pens in hand. But the first raters will
probably talk very much alike-as they
have talked, in fact, from the days Of
Julius Caesar onward.

city is to pay a fair price for trucks and
for snow loading.
Under this system of cooperation with
the city it is believed that the streets whose
use is necessary to the business life OF the
town can be cleared Of even heavy fall
of snow in a comparatively short time.
Lacking such volunteer aid, the clty's
forces may not be able to do their work for
many days, and great hardship to the pub
lie and vast dislocation Of business would
result. The plan seems to be an admirable
one, and it is to be hoped it will find gen.
erous support among business establish

we shall probably see the offensive die
out as did that before Arras last spring
Even if the second phase leads to
deadlock, the British success will be meas
ured not alone by guns and prisoners
taken, not alone by the awkward salient
which it has created in German lines, but
more than all by the moral effect upon all
the Allies. A surprise attack without
artillery preparation which gained SO
much ground and for a considerable
period threatened the dislocation Of the
whole German line will be a cause for
optimism and confidence in both the Brit
ish and French armies. 1t will be one
more in the long series of successes when
have demonstrated the superiority OF
British and French guns and soldiers and
the slow but certain decline in German
resistance and morale.
Already the victory at Cambria has
taken away the moral advantage gained
bv the Germans in Northern Italy. Even
if the victory be purely local, its effect
will 20 far to weaken the German peace
Offensive which was soon to be launched
and to derive its chief force from the
effect of the recent victory in Italy. AS
was said in these columns yesterday, this
Cambria offensive does not have the ap-
pearance of long-prepared attack, such
as that made at the Somme last year and
about Ypres this summer. Rather 1t
seems to have been made with limited re-
sources, upon territory peculiarly suita-
bile for the tank because 1t had not been
churned to pieces by shellfre and mines.
It still seems to have been an attack pri-
marily designed to relieve the pressure
upon the Italians, and it is far from i'm
possible that the British themselves have
been surprised by the magnitude OF their
success and the extent of their gain.
1t is too soon to say that the present
struggle is to be regarded as only one
more of the local offensives with which
we are so familiar, an offensive similar
to the French success at the Chemin-des-
Danes the other day. But it is not too
soon to say that the chances of an actual
piercing of the whole German position and
a dislocation of the entire front are rap
idly diminishing. Forty-eight hours at the
most should decide the fate Of Cambria,
and with the fate of Cambria is locked
up that Of the whole German front IN
France from Lille to Rheims.

Bring Destitute Children to u. 5.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: We have been told and readily believe
that it is our duty 20 feed the destitute peo-
pies Of the Allied countries in Europe so far
as we can. We are also told Of the extreme
shortage Of shipping facilities 70 send food
to Europe. We believe that oil aYai'ao'e
ships are sailing east loaded 70 capacity
with freight and troops, and we do not kno"
that these ships when returning west are
carrying any considerable quantity OF freight
or number Of passengers.
There must be many thousands Of orphan
or destitute children IN the Allied countries
for whom food must be transported across me
Atlantic unless these destitute children eoOld
be brought here, whore there is food ~
abundance and where no doubt thousands Oh
homes would be eager TO receive them.
Before America entered the war we under
stand that there were strong objections 70
bringing children from their native countries
where they would b. badly needed when the
war is over. Now that we are one OF the
Allies in the great world struggle, could not
these objections be waived so as 70 permit
such children &c be adopted by American
families for the duration of the war; the
families adopting them undertaking 70 PRIV
d,rce them to the government authorities FOR
repatriation as soon as conveniently possible
when the war is over?
In addition to the saving Of transportation
of food and other necessaries OF life at the
present time. il would be a great moral gain
TO this country TO be brought in personal con-
tact with those young lives whose prospects
have been ruined by the war. Possibly through
the medium OF your paper this idea may %
brought TO the attention OF the authorities.

RIVER ROWDYISN
Can Be STOPPED
Philadelphia Attorney Says
ANY One of Three States
HaSs Jurisdiction
POLICE SEEM
LESS CONFIDENT

According to an opinion delivered
yesterday by Assistant District Attor..
ney Joseph H. Taulone, OF Philadel-
phia, there should be no insurmount-
able legal obstacle to the apprehen-
sion and punishment Of those impli-
Gated in acts Of rowdyism such as are
said to have taken place on the recent
voyage Of a pleasure steamship on the
river.
Mr.. Taulone quoted an old statute
10 show that the States OF Pennsylva-
mia, New Jersey and Delaware exer-
else concurrent jurisdiction over tho
Delaware river.
The authority OF each State ceases,
OF course, when the river goes beyond
the State line. but Offenses committed
on the river as far as the southern
boundary Of Pennsylvania would fall
under the jurisdiction OF the State.
The same condition holds good 81
New Jersey and OF Delaware.
Officials OF the police department
seemed less confident over their
powers in such cases. II seemed "a
be the general impression that, unless
the liquor selling and disorderly con
duct took place while the boat was IN
dock. the State authorities could moi
take any action.
AS the Federal authorities have al
ready disclaimed power TO act, tbs
only check on the recurrence o.
rowdyism and disorder. in the opin
ion of some officials, is the captains
responsibility. under his license. To-
any accidents which may occur OF

Tnat kind OF pitching do they have
up in that Delaware county league in

That's the shrubbery where Frank
Baker cooled his heels IN 1915, the
season after he broke with the Ath-

with the Yankees.
Baker had a troublesome time bat

and now comes the word that Charley
Doom, who played there this season
batted a lowly .045.

Soap should be used very carefully, n you
