LICK THE PLATE AND
HELP LICK The KAISER

By invitation of MIR. Hoover, the
Methodist bishops, editors and secre-
taries met the Food Administration
Board for conference on August /,
Plans for effective cooperation of
the churches in food saving were got
under way and will be perfected. An
administration office will probably
be devoted to this work in the Meth
odist churches. One of the methods
proposed is to have each family re-
pert to the church on fixed date
the number of wheat1ess meals, the
number of meals during which no
bread was cut until needed, the num-
ber: of meatless meals, the number
Of meals in which no butter was
wasted, the number of meals with
dishes served from left-overs, the
number of "clean plate'' meals.
Bishop Henderson said: "We pro-
pose to lick the plate and help the
Government lick the Kaiser"
1t was inevitable that the liquor
question should be brought up.
Strong resolutions were adopted con-
demning the destruction of grain in
making alcoholic liquors and es-
pecially beer. On the previous day
the editors of the various churches
adopted the following resolution pro-
posed by Mr.. James R. Joy, of the
Christian Advocate of New York:
S1n view of the demands that are
being made on producers, traffickers
and consumers of all kinds of foods
and feeds in time Of war, we ex-
press our conviction that the diver
sion of grain from use as food to
the manufacture Of alcoholic liquors
is, in the present emergency, an un-
patriotic and indefensible waste"
The people should keep in mind
the fact that the Food Administra-
ton Board had nothing whatever
to Go with the decision of Congress
to except the beer trade from the
general prohibition against of food
products. Also, it must be kept in
mind that the Presidents act was
based upon threats of the brewers
to excite rebellion and to impede
necessary war legislation. The whole
hearted cooperation Of the churches
in the food saving campaign should
not be modified in the slightest by
the fact that the Government has
been successfully defed by the pro-
German beer industry, which con-
tinues to destroy food only because
it's lack of patriotism permits it to
make use of weapons which may not
be used by decent and loyal citizens.
will be greater.

THE Students DUTY
IN THE PREsE Mt WAR

The University of Minnesota, in
sending to former students and
those who expect to register for
work this fall notice that the I'm
iversity will not open until October
10, is calling upon young men and
young women to consider seriously
where their highest duty lies in the
present war emergency.
To aid students in solving this
problem the notice quotes the foil
owing from the national govern
ment's bureau of education:
1--WE believe that all young men
below the age of liability to the Sc
lective draft and those not recon-
mended for special service, who can
avail themselves of the opportun-
tiles offered by our colleges, should
be urged to do so in order that they
may be able to render the most eff
ective service both during the full
period of the war and the trying
times which will follow it's close.
Further, we believe that in view
of the supreme Importance of ap-
piled science in the present war,
students pursueing technical courses,
such as medicine, agriculture, and
engineering, are rendering, or are to
render, through the continuance of
their training, services more valuable
and efficient than if they were to
enroll in military or naval service at
once"
Following this and a statement by
President Wilson to the effect that
he sees no necessity for suspending
the sessions of the colleges and un-
iversities, and thinks that such
suspension would be very much
against public interest, the notice
goes ON to say:
colleges and universities are or
gained primarily to train men and
women for leadership in the various
activities of life and in the affairs of
the nation. 1t is a well-known fact
that college men everywhere in
large numbers have. been among the
first to offer themselves for service
in army, navy and reserve officers

'These leaders may very likely be
lost in the cause
"The ranks of the universities
must be kept filled in order that the
nations need be met now and at the
close. of the war when the ned will

PARIS, July 14:-Not since the Bas-
tile fell 1913 years ago, has Paris re-
jotced in such full measure over the
progress of democracy as she did to-
day in the anniversary Of that epochal
event.
The city's millions crowded the
streets to cheer bronzed veterans OF
every branch Of the French service, as
they passed in review. fresh from the
trenches, or to gaze aloft at the great

that has ever been held.
Nearly every building in Paris
was festooned with the tri-color. The
route of the parade was literally Wis

celebration began at o'clock at the
Place Nation. There President Poin-
care, Marshal Joffre and all French
ministers with a group of distinguish
ed army officers and Major uen-
eral John ]. Pershins, representing
Frances newest ally, stood in review.
Before them passed 5000 of Frances
heroes. Not one of this great body of
men was without decoration on his

ly upon registration figures and sta
tistics of abnormal shift in popula-
ton due to war Industries. But De-
troit, Mich. falls to see why her
population estimate of $1,000 made by
the same bureau just before registra-
tion should be boosted to 1,521 ,942 for
the draft. At the time of registra-
ton the bureau asserted that the esti-
mates for, registration were liberal.
Other boosts in estimates hit the fol
lowing cities hard:
Chicago boosted from 2,547,201 to
3,639,957 for the draft Quotas; New
York, 5,ss6,O44 to 6,5O4.1s5; Cleve-
land, 690,S37 to 1,125.440; st. Louis,
.76s, $50 to s27,264 and San Francisco
city and county, 417,023 to $50 1898.
One Of the most bitter protests
came from Canton, Ohio. That city
was raised from 62,566 to 1855 for
the draft.
'Neyer in our rosiest dreams have
we aspired to more than $4,000 In
habitants," said kilograms from
there.
In some of the coast cities and
counties where the registration was
only 81 percent of the earlier esti-
mates, the estimates are lowered pro-
portionately. For instance, Portland,
Oregon, is cut from 308,399 to 204,-
692. Denver also gets a cut from
268, ,439 to 196,620.
