MUST REDUCE WASTE

After discussing certain methods of planting cereal seeds, the statement de- clared it was especially important to re- duce the risk of wastes through the ac- tion of disease or insects in staple veg etables, such as potatoes. cabbage and onions. Pointing out that seed stocks are low, Secretary Houston suggested that Fall seed potatoes should be treated for scab before planting and that equipment for plant spraying should be on hand.
 Some of the most conspicuous crop wastes" the statement continued Occur with fruits and vegetables. Frequently these losses are due indirectly to disease and insect injury which lower their mar ket value without reducing their food value materially If they can be utilized promptly by drying, canning and other preservative methods. Under existing conditions, every practicable step should be taken to protect these crops through out the season and to utilize and preserve them as fully as possible when they have matured.''

 The war department has no authority to contract for the maintenance and equipment of more men than authorized py law In the regular army and the Na- tional Guard. Such contracts as have been made. however, provide for imme- diate expansion to meet increased re- quirements if Congress authorizes the raising of big army.
 As originally given out at the war department the list of troops retained in federal service contained a number of units which already mad been mus tered out. Department officials ex- plained tonight that reports of the completion of the mastering out for malities had been late in reaching them. Troops discharged from federal service as late as today included the Third North Carolina and First Mis- SiSolpPi iHldutIy ana uI1llS or Alabama troops which thus escaped further fed- eral duty until another formal call is issued.

As the troops came up they were re- viewed by Governor Charles Henderson and the members of his staff, and Gen. eral Bricken and General Hubbard
 After all of the medals had been pre- scented the boys were dismissed from rou- tine duty for the day, and were allowed to escort their friends over the mobiliza- tion camp.
 The spirit in which the 4500 soldiers re- ceived the news that they were not to be mustered out typifes the spirit that has dominated most of the Alabama boys since they first went into service, accord ing to various officers. The order to sus- pend all mastering out of troops arrived at the camp about noon. The ambulance and signal corps had already been mus tered out.
 Alabama Is proud of her national guardsmen for the service they have rem dered and the unsefsh spirit with which such service has been given" said Gov ernor Henderson, in extending the short, formal welcome to the guardsmen. The governor touched upon the various fea- lures of the service rendered, and how the boys had received orders and counter orders without a dissenting voice. He did not refer to the present crisis in Wash ington, nor to the fact that the boys may be called upon for even greater service.
 The general opinion among the officers here is that many of the Alabama guardsmen will be called to Birmingham to guard the benzol plants steel plants and other industries in that city. In fact. although no orders have been received to this effect, it is generally understood that the order will be received within the next few days, and no arrangements are being made for a lengthy stay in MOntgOmery

 He had proceeded no further when Captain Thierfeldt interrupted to say: My men are military men just the same as you and we will give no pledges
 COLONEL NOYES FIRM
 ''We have arranged to take care of you as well as possible.' Colonel Moves then continued, but future conditions will de- pend largely upon yourself I shall well come your advice but you are in cus- tody.'
 Captain Therfeldt then spoke of de- tails of checking the men, and his re- quest that he be allowed to accompany Captain Wagner while this was done was granted by Colonel Moves. Captain Wag- ner has been detailed in command of a provost guard of 42 that will guard the internes

 Provisions and fuel will be parcelled out to each company, and the men will do own barracks. German seamen will be detailed to take care of the officers house. Under present plans none of the sailors will be allowed out of the stock ade. Colonel Moves stated today that he had not decided whether the internes would be required to do any work.

 TIN CANS NOT NECESSARY
 Because of the scarcity of tin plate and the high prices of tin cans" says Secretary Houston, 'it may be necessary in household preservat tion of food more extensively to pack fruit and vegetables in other containers. He urged that plans be made to meet the storage necessities of sweet potatoes, pointing out that about 10000, 900 bushels of the usual crop of 50,- 100000 bushels goes to waste through de- cay.

THE WAR SITUATION

British and French troops have made additional important gains against the Germans on the line running from Arras to Soissons. on the British cen ter at several points Field Marshal sir Douglas Haig's men have pushed forward appreciably nearer the St. Quentin -Cambrairi road. occupying the villages of Longavesnes, Lieramont and Equancourt and in addition have recaptured from the Germans a posi- ton north of Beaumetz- Leg Cambrai which the Germans took from them in an attack Monday night
 The gains of the French were made in the region to the south of La Fere, where they drove the Germans com pletely out of the lower forest of Coucy and also captured the villages of Petit Barisis. Verueuil and Coucy- La-Ville. bringing the French line n this region to the western outskirts of the forest of St. Gobain and the upper forest of Coucy. Tn the Sois- sons sector further progress was made north of Neuville- Sur -Margival and northeast of Leuilly.
 The German war office admits the capture by the British of the town of Roisel. about Il miles northwest of St. Quentin, and the falling back of the German forces before the French at several points in the foreign region south of La Fere. in order to avoid being outflanked.
 Violent artillery fighting in the re- zion of Verdun and at various points in Belgium. notably near Dixmude, Steenstraete and Het Sas. has been in progress.
 On the Russian front the Russians have been forced to fall back before

HBoth for economic and patriotic reasons" the Secretary said in formal statement, the American farmer could strive this year for the highest standard of efficiency in the production and conservation of food.
 Under the conditions in which this country now finds itself it is important that everything practicable be done to in- crease the efficiency of agricultural ac- tivities during the coming season.
 The Secretary's appeal was part of the campaign undertaken by the department of agriculture to mobilize the country's agricultural resources.
 MT. Houston urged particularly that as a means of preventing Conspicuous pro- duction wastes of important staple cereals proper attention be given to the selection and safeguarding of seed for planting, the preparation of the land and the care of the crop.

NO ORDERS YET RECEIVED

The only orders I have received were
 formal orders from the war department
 at Washington to suspend mastering out
 of troops said Adjutant General Hub bard. "Of course we cannot tell,what or
 ders will be received next" General Hubbard is of the opinion that the boys will see much more service be-
 fore they are mustered out, and that they
 will see some actual fighting. It is gen.
 erally believed around the camp, however,
 that actual fighting would be welcomed
 by the boys who have been in training
 for more than nine months. Tn fact,
 many of them expressed the wish that
 they might be sent into France in actual
 warfare with Germany and they hope that they may be returned to the Mex- can border to fight the Mexicans, should trouble develop in that direction The officers who have recently returned from the Mexican border believe that just as soon as war is declared the Mex jeans will begin making trouble on the border. It was hinted among the of fcers that there were many German sol- diers already in Mexico. who were ready
 and waiting for the United States to declare war.

 The guardsmen have been having no regular routine training since they re- turned to Montgomery. They have been expecting to be mustered out immed- lately. It Is not believed, however that 1t wilt be necessary to return to any daily routine, as, it is expected that the majority of the troops will be sent to Birmingham, Gadsden and Anniston to guard the industrial plants at those places.
 Health conditions among the guards men are considered as very good There are at present 50 cases of sickness amorg the boys, according to Dr. O'Connel. Of this number. there are 25 cases of pneu- nonia, and all of the pneumonia patents are being treated at St. Margaret's hos pital.
