Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephon:
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the promptest possible connec-
tons.
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances, but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
politeness on the part of the telephone
users.
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. The best
results come through the practice OF
mutual courtesy.

SAYS SUBS INTERFERE
WITH U. S. MUNITIONS

Amsterdam, Oct. 29.-Gen. Sixt Won
Arnim, one of Germany's commanding
generals. in an interview in the Kor-
respondent Norden. said the British
troops We're two or three times more
numerous han the Germans, and that
the British batteries were equipped with
far more heavy guns than the Germans
possessed.
A further advantage for the British,
the general said. was hat they had
$4,000 soldier-laborers for bringing up
munitions. while Germans who serve
the gun have to feed them.
General Won Arnim also commented
on the wholesale expenditure of am
munition by the British. He said the
transport of munitions from England,
owing to the shortness of the voyage,
was difficult entirely to suppress, but
that the United States appeared to be
greatly hampered by the U-boat war in
the delivery of munitions and that the
munitions themselves We're of bad

the American plans for the future

FOOD P[EDG|NG
BEGINS TODAY
Hoover Explains Aims Of Food
Administration in Helping
to Keep Prices Down
and Feed Allies.

Washington, D.. c., Oct. 29.-''The
government OF the United States is ask
ing every citizen of the country to eat,
less beef. pork products. wheat, butter
n sugar. n to waste no fo~odstuffs;
as an act of common defense"
This is the explanation given today
by Herebrt Hoover, food administrator,
of the meaning of the national food
pledge work which begins tomorrow
and continues until November 4. Half a
million canvaSSerS are ready for the
campaign to induce at least $4,000, 900
of the country's 22.000.000 housewives
to sign the pledge to conserve o dur
ing the war.
owing to the large failure of the
harvest in France and Italy, and the
inability to send the worlds shipping
to remote markets. said Mr.. Hoover,
I'VE have thrust upon us a larger duty
in providing foodstuffs for them than
We are capable of executing unless we
can reduce the consumption of these
foodstuffs in the United States. If we
cannot secure this reduction in con
sumption. we cannot maintain them
constant in the war. If we fail, the
western line will move to the Atlantic
seaboard.
Furthermore. the problem of alneii
Grating the prices to the American con.
sumner is entirely involved in our abil-
ity to supply the allied needs and still
leave us a sufficiency at home. If WE
accept the alternative of maintaining
the allies in the war from our supplies
without savings. we shall have short
ages in the United States that make
any hope of price control absolutely
futile"
Men Too Must Help.
at is therefore in the interest O
every man, women and child in tn,
United States that we should accom-
plish these ends-first in his persona
defense and protection and second. i.
the interests of his pocketbook. Be
You'd all this and greater, is the ques
ton of common humanity. There ar
now millions CT women and children
in Europe solely dependent upon u
for good stuffs, and if we had no othe
reason. it should appeal to every in
dividual in the United States to sacri
flee something in the name of commo-
humanity.
I'VE are endeavoring to direct thes
problems with all of the inteltigenc
that we can summon iii the Unite
States. We are asking every home
every hotel and every trade to carr
out our directions for the conservatio
of foodstuffs and the elimination Q
waste. h women of the United State
are making a magnificent endeavor i
this prime national service and we hav
a just right to appeal to every ma
that he should support them in t1i
work. We ask a pledge from ever
home and every public eating nous
and we ask the men and women {
America to maintain the proper att
tude to all who refuse to fall in wit
