MAKES OWN ENAMELED WARE
United States Now Producing Kitchen
Utensils Formerly Imported From
Germany and Austria.

New York.-The United States for
the first time in it's history is now pro-
ducing all of the enameled utensils
used in American households and in
addition is able to supply large guam
titles to Europe and South and Cen
trail American countries. According
to figures recently compiled house
wives of the United States are at
present buying enamel utensils at
about the rate of $30,000,000 yearly. In
former years a considerable portion of
these goods was supplied by manufac-
turers of Sweden, Germany and AUS
tria. Since the beginning of the war
there has been a steady decline in
these importations, and at the present
time they are practically nil. Japan for
time sent in shipments of the ware,
but as the quality of the japanese
goods was unsatisfactory, the supply
from that source has largely ended.

Paris, April 19.-Steady gains by the French are reported in the off, cial communication issued by the war office tonight in the continuation of the drive against the southern end of the Hindenburg line.

RUSSIA WILL NEVER
 DESERT THE ENTENTE
Foreign Minister Miluk0h De- nies Peace Contemplated, in Address at Petrograd-Wili Make Harder Fight.

Petrograd, April 19 (via London) -Russia's allies need have no fear that she will desert the alliance or weaken her resistance to the enemy. Prof. Paul Milukoff, the foreign min ister, said today in an address to the representatives of the French and British workingmen who are now in Petrograd.
 We understood that at the mom- ent of the revolution you might be afraid we would lose our strength for resistance" said the foreign min ister. "I beg you to announce to your countrymen that free Russia has become doubly strong through de- mocratization.'
 The Russian press considers the semi-official German and Austro- Hungarian notes concerning the pos sibility of conciliating the war aims of the central powers with those of Russia as a base, treacherous and hypocritical" maneuver. The Rech, in reiteratng that the Russian pro- visional government is pursuing no aims of conquest, declares it is fully and entirely in agreement with the views expressed by the representa- tives of the other entente powers.
 The enemy precipitately deduces Russian desire for a separate peace in these notes scarcely more clever than the proclamations thrown into the Russian trenches inviting the peasants to return to their villages and share the estates of the land owners says the newspaper "These notes will have no better success than the proclamations in the naive at tempt to embroil Russia with her allies"

whom the obligation of military ser vice shall rest, and also in a sense choose those who shall do the rest of the nations work. The bill, if adopt ed, will do more, believe, than any other single instrum2ntality to create the impression of universal service in the army and out of it, and, if prop erly administered, will be great source of stimulation.
 Those who feel that we are turn ing away altogether from the volun- tary principle seem to forget that some 600,000 men will be needed to fill the ranks of the regular army and the national guard, and that a very great field of individual enthus- iasm lies there wide oDen.'

p2FSIDENT DEFEADl ARMY BILL WHILE
 CONGRESS LINES UP
p,;,c;nIe of Selective Draft is Universal Service Obligation
 Pill in Accordance Admin ;otrafion Views Reported.

Washington, April 19.-President Wilson today sent a letter to Repre- on+otive Helyering of Kansas, ex- nIaining and strongly supporting the ppdministration's army bill, with its solective conscription plan. The let tor indicated the purpose of the ad- nrstration to insist upon enactment of tbe measure vigorously. It fol- lows:
 q welcome the inquiry of your let for of April 19 because l have real ized the truth of what you say from my own observations, namely, that what is meant to be understood by the selective draft is not generally understood throughout the country.
 "The process of the draft is, I think. very clearly set forth in the bill drafted by the War Department, and which | so earnestly hope that Congress will adopt, but it is worth while to state the idea which under lies the bill little more fully.
 q took occasion the other day in an address to the people of the coun- try to point out that the many forms of patriotic service that were open to them and to emphasize the fact that the military part of the service was by no means the only part, and perhaps, all things considered, not the most vital part. Our object is mobilization of all the productive and active forces of the nation and their development to the highest point of cooperation and efficiency, and the idea of the selective draft is that those should be chosen for service in the army who can be most readily spared from the prosecution of the other activities which it must devote great deal of it's best energy and capacity.
 "Ihe volunteer system does not do this, When men choose themselves they sometimes choose without due regard to their other responsibilities. Men may come from the farms or from the mines or from the factories or centers O. business who ought not to come. but ought to stand back of the armies in the field and see that they get everything that they need and that the people of the country are sustained in the meantime.
 "The principle of the selective draft, in short, has at it's heart this Idea, that there is a universal obli- gation to serve and that a public au- thority should choose those upon
