ALLIED SITUATION BETTER.

Paris, July 2s.-The military situa,
ton OF the entente allies on the west,
ern front at the end Of the third year
OF the war is regarded by competent
authorities here rs actually better thar
It was a year ago. n enormously bet
ter prospecttvely by reason of the in
tervention OF the United States.
Retreat Shows Weakness.
The big change in the relative posi-
ton OF the allies was brought about by
the evacuation Of q part of France by
the Germans. This retirement which
was announced in Germany as a STRAIT
egica retirement, IA with the OBJ
ject of attaining. a superior fighting po-
sition has turned out to have been sim.
ply a retreat so that the German lines
might be shortened and held by fewer
divisions. Wherever the lines have
moved on h west they have moved
toward Germany.
The German reserves. In the belief
Of French authorities, have diminished
during h year by about 1900. 900 or
Rt an average rate OF 100, 900 a month.
The German wastage during April,
May and June is placed at upwards Of
5 5000 a month, the casualties arising
auring May. according to German adj
admissions amounting to TIC. 1000, not
counting those slightly wounded who
may be able to return to service.
Can't Strengthen Lines.
The situation on the Russian front
Is . aus of deep concern. but it is not
regarded here as possible for Ger
many to spare many more troops from
the eastern front for action on the
western front than already have been
brought up; hence it is believed here
that under the worst possible circum
stances. the fighting power of Germany
cannot be greatly increased on this
front.
France and Great Britain count up
on the American army to be in opera
lion under more favorable circum-
stances than in any spring since the
war began. The British army in
France is delivering powerful blows
which can be maintained indefinitely.

A PHILADELPHIA Idea.

Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated.
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, taken a bath
and dressed herself in party clothes.
Now a Philadelphia has patented a
ldust-fltering attachment which can be
attached to the player-piano, and the
Ordinary housewife can now seat her
self at the piano-player, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
door, she can have 1t clean in a fifty.
The bellows Of the player are attached
Ito the cleaner by means of
"a special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

Pride.

Pride.
An oldish man with q waistline like

confer a somewhat patronizing greet
ing on an. oldish woman.
SWELL, well-I was afraid you had
gone by the board! How are you get
getting along?"
ooh, making money and taking on

The only thing worth noticing about
the small interchange was that the
woman was a positive bone, and she
sure didn't look as if she were making
money.
Which seems to show that the Spar

the children's minds the horror of cru

story:
.Once a farmer went out to milk a
cow and a little calf switched the man
in the eye with its tail. The man
took out his knife and cut of the
Calls tail. Now, children, what verse
In the Bible should that man have re-

Staten Island Bare
Of Sugar and Coal
Residents Threaten Mass
Meeting and Demand Sup
plv of Both Necessities

Unless supplies OF coal and sugar
arrive at Staten Island to-day residents
of that borough will flock to the Bor-
ough Hall in st. George tonight AID
express their views Of situation which
has stirred them deeply within the last
week.
Staten Island was practically without
sugar yesterday. Not single store
on the island was able to furnish an
ounce. During the last week only an
occasional pound could be had, sold
under the combination system, which
Federal Food Administrator Williams
ordered stopped last Friday.
George VI. Rolph, chief Of the sugar
division of the United States Food Ad-
ministration; the International Sugar
Committee intrusted with negotiating
for foreign sugar embargoed in New
York warehouses, and the American
Refiners' Committee, charged with the
responsibility of distributing equitably
the slender supply of sugar in greater
New York, have been bitterly criticised
by the islanders. They say that Man
haitian and the other boroughs of New
York City have been unduly favored.
The coal situation in Staten Island is
worse than the sugar shortage. 1t was
estimated yesterday by coal dealers
that not more than 45 per cent of the
100000 inhabitants of the island have
any coal at all. A cold spell would
cause untold misery, it is said.
The dealers say they have ordered
coal, but have received nothing but
promises. The islanders are incensed,
moreover, at the dealers, who have been
charging $500 to 1920 per ton. al
though Fuel Administrator Garfield has
fixed the retail price at $3.50. How
ever, the islanders say they are now 81
close to winter that they are willing
TO pay most any price if they can but
fill their bins.

in all likelihood, comprise Mr.. Will
Jams, DR.. Moskowitz, Mr. Mitchell, and
the latters fellow members on the
State Food Commission, DR.. Jacob
Gould Schurman and Charles a.
Wieting.
Doubt Over MoskOwitz
1t was said last night that there
might be some doubt concerning inc
appointment of DR.. Moskowitz, an ap-
pointee Of Mayor Mitchels. In the dle
course of politics he would cease 20
hold city Office when the present city
administration goes out OF once
Should he be appointed at this time II
was pointed out, he may continue to
serve after the first of the year, as his
commission will be something IN the
nature of Federal appointment.
In all probability Federal Food Al
ministrator for New York State, out,
side of New York City. will be named
at the conference to-day. THIS POM
has been offered to Mr.. Mitchell. IL
was intimated by his friends last week
that he would accept.
The commission of five plan was
agreed upon following a conference in
this city last week of the Federal, state
and city food commissioners and r. I
Walcott, representing Mr.. Hoover. The
plan was submitted TO President Wilson
on Saturday He has, however, declined
to pass upon il until il was worked out
in detail, according to advices from
Washington last night. The meeting
to-day, food administration officials say,
was called to complete the details, after
which the plan will be resubmitted to
the President.
Administration Criticised
Criticism of the food administration
of New York City for its lack OF q
definite programme TO control sup
plies and lower prices was freely
voiced at meeting of the city, state
and Federal food controllers and rep
resentatives of civic organizations and
labor unions in the offices of the State
Food Commission yesterday.
Carl Beck, secretary of the Labor
Food Conference; John c. Day, of the
Labor Temple, and Mrs. Julian Heath,
of the Housewives League, were the
principal critics. They said the New
York wage earners were becoming
pretty we'll fed up on conferences and
Investigations and would like to see
some concrete results for a change.
Mr.. Beck said he had not noticed any
drop in prices, although prices might
have gone higher on certain commodi-
ties if the food administration had not
been on hand 20 stem the tide.
DR.. Henry Moscowitz, City Market
Commissioner, who presided at the
meeting, said that in order TO succeed
the food conservation campaign
launched by the national food admins
traton must be organized along demo-
cratic lines and must win popular sup
port.
Mrs. Heath demanded action, saying
the women of her organization were
becoming discouraged over the high
prices and the small results of the
three food control bodies operating IN
New York City. She quoted the story
of the turkey hoard of last year. when
spectators held the prices up at pro-
hibitive figures before Thanksgiving
CRYING there was no turkey TO be had.
After Thanksgiving it was discovered
that turkeys were plentiful.
