believe the palmetto broom to be the
best substitute for the corn broom

circumstances should it be suncured.
It must be shadecured SO as to retain
its pea.green color and to prevent it
from becoming brittle and break

fifteen days with good ventilation"

Italian Second Army
Quit Without Fight

Rome, Oct. 29.-Units of the

retreated without fighting, permit
ting the Austro- German forces to
break the Italian left wing on the
Julian front and invade Italy. says
the official report. The Italians now
are retreating in accordance with
the plan prepared.
1t is estimated unofficially that the
Italians are opposed on the front of
the Austro- German attack by forces
four times their number.
The War Office announcement fol-
lows:
THE failure to resist on the part
of some units forming our second
army, which in cowardice retired
without fighting or surrendering to
the enemy. allowed the Austro- Ger
man forces to break into our left
wing on the Julian front. The valiant
efforts of other troops did not en-
able them to prevent the enemy from
advancing into the sacred soil of
our fatherland. We now are with
drawing our line according to the
plan prepared. All stores and depots
iE the evacuated places were de-
stroyed.
The record of many memorable
battles fought with success by our
brave soldiers during two and one
half years of war is sufficient to as
sure the Commander-in-Chi that
the army to which the honor and
safety of the country are confided
will know how to fulfill its duty"

places the situation before the Amer
lean people briefly as follows:
THE greatest food experts on
both sides of the Atlantic say that
there is a world shortage of food.
The boys who are enduring the hell
of the trenches for our sake cannot
hold out If i'll fed. The situation
which we have to face right now
in this food pledge week is obvious.

that the soldiers may get their vital

so that the stay -at-homes may fatten.
You cannot have it both ways and
must make your choice"
