THE ARMY OF THRIFT

AA4etl A1D AkSA4A VI AAAAsAx
We hear q great deal these days
shout this being q ''woman's age"
What the poor women Of the nation
are not called upon to do land avoid
doing) is hardly worth mentioning.
The latest is the national appeal
for thrift: for that general individual
saving and avoidance Of waste which
win mean the saving Of millions of
dollars worth of supplies at time
whom the world is in danger Of going
hungry.
The suggestions offered by other
women who have put into practice
rules for obtaining national thrift,
may help those who have the earnest
desire but are in doubt as to the
right methods to follow. Here are a
! few:
Learn to distinguish between lux
uries and those necessities needed for
good. healthful, efficient living. Learn
to know real values. Adopt some
sort Of budget system SO that need
less waste and expenditures can be
noted and checked.
The arts Of salesmanship have
created desires for things which we
can get along without. It is good
lesson for every day life, war or no
war, to learn not to crave things
Just because we see them and can
enjoy their use.
Getting value for a dollar spent
is simply common sense. II may
mean the exercise OF little care in
checking purchases and possibly
more going to the stores in person
rather than the easier way Of using
the telephone, but the result is worth
the effort.
Every ounce Of food that any
housewife saves from being wasted
in her home, all garden stuff she
and the children can raise; every.
thing canned or dried for future
use; every garment which, by mend
ing saves the purchase Of new
one.-lessens that households draft
on the already depleated national
supply. To save food. one should
learn to plan economical and we'll
balanced meals. This does not in any
sense mean denial Of a proper and
sufficient ration for every member OF
the family. II means using more
good sense and care.
Experts have determined that the
annual waste among American fam.
flies would support the entire Brit
ish army. or course II will be i'm.
possible to eliminate waste absolute.
ly, but Just to the extent that such
waste is controlled. to that extent
America can add to Is support OF our
fighting allies.
Care should be taken to avoid al.
lowing food to spoil Heat. dirt
Insects, ETC.. should be provided
against. Proper and cheaper substi.

the influence which both army and navy
claimed in debating the policy Of the

The chancellor answered that one
of the principal reasons why Germany
had determined upon a resumption Of
ruthless submarine warfare was be-
cause OF this speech of the President
to the American Senate.
OF course, the trouble with this
feeling and criticism of the Presi-
dents speech made by the chancellor
is that the orders for the resumption
OF ruthless submarine warfare mad

the speech came to Germany

Prussia, Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Sax

political entity as Germany"
These twenty-five States have
votes in the Bundesrat, a body which
may be said to correspond remotely
to our United States Senate. But
each State has a different number of

varia six, Wurttemberg and Saxony

I said: 'T do not see that you have

Address 10 the senate.
On January %, 1917, our President
addressed the American Senate, and
IN his address he referred to his note
of December 1S sent to all belIigerent
governments. He stated, referring to
the reply OF the entente powers to
his peace note Of December IS: 1--WE
are that much nearer to the definite
discussion of the peace which shall
end the present war"
In this address also, referring to

Won Bethmann-HoIIweg's Verdict.
The chancellor, however. at this in
terview after january 81. said that
he had been compelled to take up
ruthless submarine war because 1t
was evident that President Wilson
could do nothing toward peace. He
spoke particularly OF the Presidents

from him but from many Germans)

spoke OF giving each nation a high

German port Of Dantzig should be

land, thereby not only taking a Prus-
sian port, but cutting the extreme
eastern part of Prussia from the re-
