ian monarchy for Its unhampered
future development, It can then not
be difficult TO fipd a satisfactory
solution OF the other questions which
still remain to be settled between
the belligerents in spirit of justice
and Of a reasonable consideration Of
the conditions for existence of both
parties.
IF the nations of the earth were
to enter, with a desire for peace. INFO
Negotiations with one another in the
sense Of your Ho;iness's proposals
then peace could blossom forth from
them The nations could attain COM
piete freedom Of movement on the
h gh seas, heavy material burdens
could be taken from them and new
sources OF prosperity opened to them
Guided by a spirit OF moderation
and consultation, we see in the pro-
posals Of your Holiness suitable
basis for initiating negotiations with a
view 70 preparing a peace just to all
and lasting, and we earnestly hope
our present enemies may be animated
by the same ideas. In this spirit
we beg that the Almighty may bless
the work OF peace begun by your
Holiness"

LONDON, Sept. 22.--Chancellor Mich
aells for his gracious master the Kali
SER" took up President Wilson's chal-
ienge 10 the German people that they
take a hand In government affairs. ac-
cordlng TO the text Of the German reply
to Pope Benedict as received here to-
day.
The Chancellor took pains to point
out to the Vatican the governments
close contact with the people" in that
their representatives discussed the
answer" 20 His Holiness"
This refers to the hand-picked group
Of Reichstag leaders who were per-
mltted 10 talk over the Vatlcan's peace
appeal with the Chancellor.
The German reply also showed Mich
aells profession that Germany shares
the Popes view OF the necessity Ct
Simultaneous and reciprocal limitation
on land, sea and in the air"
The German note, after the GUS
tomary diplomatic introduction, de-
clared the Kaiser "chcrisnes a lively
desire that for the benefit Of the en-
tire world the Papal appeal may meet
with SUCCESS
Continuing, Chancellor Mlchaelis as
serted the POpes efforts would more
surely reckon on sympathetic reception
by thu Kaiser from the fact that the
Kaiser has regarded II as principal
and most sacred task to preserve the
blessings or peace for the German peo-
pie and the world"

one week, due to the effects Of too much
soft drink.
Private Reese was found doing
some carving OF initials on the trail
of the lonesome pine but they did
not correspond to any name in the
compay so the boys have an opinion
that It must be the girl he left behind.
Private Conway was charged $l.OO
for a hair cut The usual price Is
so cents. When he asked about the
extra charge the barber told him It
was for hunting for his hair.
The division league of which Com

WASTE NOT
WANT NOT"

The American homemaker is putting
terth every effort to avoid waste. She
understands that her patriotism can
best be expressed by her earnest en-
deavor TO conserve the food supply. She
can not fight in tn trenches, but she
can and must fight in the kitchen. More
and more, We realize the Importance of
the proper management Of the food
supply.
Tn press tells us that serious food
shortage is imminent IN the enemy
countries because the United States is
the great source of food supply. This
forcefully impresses upon the housewife
the necessity of studying the family
needs and also the available foods so
that che can ration" her family intelH-
gently and without waste, using the
available foods.
Startling Figures.
President Wilson's plea to raise more
food has been nobly answered.
Recent estimates show an increase of
Z22 per cent. in the number of food
gardens in the United States
An increase of POS per cent. in the
gardens Of the middle west certainly
speaks well for the patriotism of that
section.
We must always remember that the
man with the hoe Is as forceful factor
IN this war as the man with the rife
and bayonet. When we learn that
l,l75.O00 more acres have been planted
TO gardens this year, and that the esti-
mated value Of this incrased food acre
age is about S350,0O0, 900, we appreciate
Z what the "tillers of the soil" have done
/ to meet this great world food supply.
No less valuable Is the effort of the
housewife to avoid waste that no one
need 60 hungry.
Every bit Of food wasted takes Just
that much power away from our fighting
forces, and we are all fighters in this
great world war.
S7oo,ooo,ooo Worth of Food Saved.
We know that through our united ef-
forts we can at least add S7OO,O 0Oc
worth Of food this year. for 800, 100000
worth Of food was wanted in our homes
public and private, last year. through
the fault Of the manager and the cook
This did not include the waste from
lack Of harvesting and marketing the
crops.
Help for the Housewife.
This year the harvesting and market
ing will be done more carefully than
ever before in the history Of our country
The United States Government, the
growers and the food producers" are
cooperating to give us bountiful food
supply. The United States Government
is putting forth every effort to teacl
us to use all these foods to the best
advantage. To this end bulletins ART
issued explaining the food value and
uses of the various alternative food
materials so that in case Of scarcity
of one food product, the housewife msy
be able to substitute others Of eqUsl
nutritive value. These bulletins may
be obtained by writing to the United
States DEPARTMENT of Agriculture Blu
reau Of Publications.
