LONDON, Eng, March 6. -
That Austria in general uphoIds

of Germany is the substance of
the reply made by Vienna to Wash.

The despatch SAYS that .Ambas-
sador Frederic CORTLAND Penfield
has been handed u reply to the
note sent by the United States to
Austria and requesting a clear
statement of Austria's position on
the unrestricted warfare.
The Vienna reply declares that
the neutr7ils are responsible for

The note SAYS: whatever atti.

It is considered that the prob

Ambassador Penfield is under in
structions by the secretary Of

and gestilence are as apt to follow the world war as are plenty and happi- ness. Food and financial conditions are changing every week, every day, every hour. every minute. Wheat has reached prices not known since the war between the states. Meat and vegetables have almost gone beyond the limit of purchase. There can be no relief expected from Europe. Every nation banded together in the war against Germany depends upon the United States of America. We are called upon to feed the world. These are the facts in the case. They demand attention. Nor should the practice of economy be attended by hysteria. There is a safe and sane way of doing everything.

of disorders, from cramps to dysen- tcry. The extent of the illness will probably depend upon the degree of the new soldiers vitality, that is, his capacity to resist 1t.
 Another prolific source of illness may be in what man drinks AL cohol in every form should be avoid ed; a glass of beer may disturb the whole digestive organization. And the dyed fluids sold at the ''pop shacks' at the edge of the camp are to be severely summed. They are responsible for much of the work which devolves upon army surgeons. They often are poisonous to the sys- tenn, and at best are conducive to in- disposition.
 The one way in which the 3oung soldier keep himself in health, ex- cept for circumstances which are be- yondNhis control, Is by his care of the body and its habits. If he is always clean. his pores function properly and throw off the wastes; if he keeps the bcdy we'll clothed, that is, protected against the weather, he will not catch cold and the pores will not therefore become clogged and cease to work. He should, as has been said, see to 1t that the body Is properly-and not improperly-fed. He should keep his lungs filled with fresh air. He should keep the body thoroughly exercised. but withoutl exhaustion, for exhaus- ton lowers the vitality and the conse- quent resistance to disease. For the ss.me reason. he should keep the body refreshed by a sufficient amount of sleep.
 Tomorrow's article will tell how the soldier should care for his health when on the march.

For the tnlfd tfme within 8 week. John Lan- ski was arraigned on charge of in- toxication. He had nothing to say In his defense. The first time, much weakened by tho excessive use of liquor. he was committed to tho Town Farm and was later transferred to the New Britain General hospital to un- dergo treatment for alcoholism. Hls second appearance was productive of the promise to go to relatives In an- other city. He was found last night in a helpless condition by Policeman Joseph Kennedy.

THE SOLDIER's HEALTH AND
 HOW HE CAN PROTECT TT.

NO DUTY OF THE SOLDIER IS more important than the care of his health: A sick soldier is worse than no soldier. Not only Is he a dead weight, but he requires the services of other men in taking care of him. A company which has twenty sick men would be better off If it were actually twenty men short of its quota, because the twenty sick men are of no mili- tary value and put an extra drain upon the regimental organization. Much. If not most, sickness is avoid
 able, with proper sanitary and medt- cal precautions, and much of it, cer- tainly, may be a mans own fault.
 The matter of health Is especially im mportant to the new soldier since those whote lives have been seden- tary. are exceedingly susceptible to illness when they first start to live under camp conditions. The change of food. change of surroundings, change of air. and change of habits are often too revolutionary for the system all at once. unless the soldier pays particular attention to his health.
 The stomach. especially in warm weather, is the principal seat of ill., ress, and it Is here that the new sol- dier has his fate-his efficiency as a soldier and his usefulness to the command-largelyi in his own hands. If. before he is well seasoned in cafnp, he eats between meals; if he fats food not set before him at mess es- pecially the most tempting pies land cakes and cream-puffs from home; if he hangs about the canteen buying candy, nuts or cookies, he Is almost certainly destined to be ill., And such illness may be no trivial matter. at that. since 1t may start whole train

SAFE AND SANE.

Because Secretary or AgrlcUlture Houston has urged upon women the strict necessity oflpracticing effective economy in their homes by con- serving foodstuffs and clothing many fear that a wave of parsimony is liable to sweep over the country. There is no such danger. The Ameri- can people win never practice economy SO. rigidly that it will become akin to disaster. The nature of the American Is to spend, The appeal now is to his better sense, refrain from throwing money away. Because the male of the species is apt to be more reckless than the female, in spending, the women of the nation have been asked to apply the
 brakes. There Is no need that any
 body, man or woman, become miserly in order to safeguard the country from famine. Indiscriminate pur-
 chasing of unnecessary things is the real thing to curtail.
 Food conservation is a policy that
 must become nationwide If it is to get
 anywhere Each man and woman,.
 rich Or poor, can aid the government
 at this time. In helping the govern
 ment of the United States the gov
 ernment pf all those nations fighting
 the light of Democracy will in turn
 be benefited. The problems of the
 Entente Allies are the problems
 of America. By refraining from
 foolish buying, by cutting down
 expenses formerly associated with
 luxuries and conhning the spend-
 ing of money to those commodities that go to make,u the necessaries of life. Americans can aid greatly to alleviate conditions growing out of the world war. The conditions of to- day will soon demand that something be done unless there is voluntary saw ing on the part of the people. Fail- ing to heed the advice Of Secretary Houston, the homes of all Americans ! may soon be compelled to practice economies that can be easily learned under tne plan suggested. Con-
 ditions imposed by war fall alike on all classes. ,* We, as people, are just beginning fto realize that disaster stands in the oning and that it's vile. head may be lowered upon our shoulders unless we prepare to practice thrift. Famine
