NOT LESS FOOD, BUT DIFFERENT

Our tables are seeing strang
things. The bread is brought on il
the loaf and cut as each member o
the family wants a slice or a part o
a slice. Every crumb is eaten ant
the American garbage can is cheated
out of what it had learned to regart
as its due.
America has signed the food pledge
and is keeping it. Her housekeepers
are serving on the tables not less
food, but different food.
The physicians of all times have
warned American people that meat
was too frequently eaten among them
but the warning had never been
needed. We were told over and over
that wheat as a steady diet was bad
for our digestive systems. Again and
again our overuse of sugar has been
deplored, and our practice of frying
everything in greasy fat.
But, because it is hard to change
without some dynamic factor being
brought to bear, We have gone on eat
ing all these things and suffering all
the astronomical consequences.
The dynamic factor has now been
brought to bear in the shape OF a
great war which will tax all our re-
sources, and our housekeepers are
beginning their campaign. Because
the Allies and our own soldiers need
meat, fat, wheat and sugar, the house
keepers have determined to give their
families less of these things and more
of substitutes, just as palatable and
just as nourishing.
Instead of beef and pork so often,
they propose to serve chicken and
fish, cooked in various delightful
ways. Sugar is being used with a
more sparing hand, and corn sirup
and sorghum are, in a measure, TAX
ing its place.
Delicious corn and oaten breads
are appearing on tables around which
sit families who had never before had
a chance to discover just how much
they liked such things.
And the best part of it all is that
everybody's appetite is Just as well
satisfied. We are learning some les
sons in conservation and generosity,
we are getting more real nourish-
ment for the amount we are eating
and everybody is better off physically
than before.

THE MANHOOD OF MEN

In this mammoth war that has al
ready cost in money three times as
much as the twenty great wars In
history, which consumed s26,00O,O00,-
600, we are forced to think seriously
of the men who do the fighting. How
many are engaged, where do they
come from, who are they?
To answer these questions with
feeling and effectiveness, we must
first ask another: "Is your father,
husband, brother or lover now among
those in khaki or is he likely to be
in the next draft?" When England
entered the war, only 100000 troops
were promised with the navy OF the
country, but she has already fur
nished 100000 men. We cannot tell
any more than England could what
we will be called upon to do.
General Leonard Wood, commander
Of Camp Funston, declares it is in
eyitable that every able-bodied youth
in the country must shoulder a gun
as soon as equipment can be obtained
and officers trained. Sherwood Eddy
gives a specific case of one young man
who spent seven months in training
and then went into the trenches.
Shortly afterward he became an act
i've fighter and was given orders with
men of his division to go over the
top" He never got ''over the top,
however, because his legs were shot
of and he was taken back to hos
pital in England.
It is to care for such boys and all
others in army camps here and
abroad that the Y. NJ. C. A war coun-
Gil fund of s35,OOO,0OO is being raised.
OF this sum, Missouri's quota is
s1.00O,000. The stupendous amount

''The School of Engineering will no,
make any changes in its curriculum
because of the war;" sail Dean E. j
McCaustland. I'VE considered doing
this until Brigadier-General William
NJ. Black, chief of engineers, United
States Army, in addressing the Society
for the Promotion of Engineering
Education. advised us against such q
policy"
Dean McCaustland explained that
engineers useful in the war could not
be trained in less than the regular
course. Since students cannot be
quickly fitted for war service, they
must be trained for reconstruction
work after the war, as it may be over
before they are graduated.
However, Dean McCaustland
modified. ANY student with special
bent should follow that line. II he Is
drafted, he should apply for service in
that work. Exemptions will not be
made for students in engineering, as
we first thought.

signalling for telephone and wireless

Stewart, is open to any student in the
University.
1.-The only requirement is youth and
IimpressiOnability," smiled Mr.. Nc
Caustland.
The Continental code is taught in
both classes. When the student Is
able to receive ten words a minute he
is competent to enter the Signal Corps
or the navy with the rating of stu
dent operator The School of Engi-
neering is offering this course at the
request of the United States Signal
Service, which is trying to get all the
schools of engineering to cooperate
with it in training operators.
The School of Engineering has
about 80 per cent of its normal en-
rollment, proportion which is much
better than that of most other schools
of engineering. Dean McCaustland
has found that the average enrolment
in schools of engineering in this cOun-
try this year is rs per cent Of the
normal. The freshman class is only
81 per cent of normal, because many
boys who would have come to school
this year stayed home to help on
farms. A large part of the students
of engineering here come from the
farming districts of the state. The
of the higher classes held
more nearly to the normal because the
men want to finish the work they have
started.

ALIENS TO BIZ BBATBD
FOB ARMY

Washington, July T.-The senate
military committee today decided that
aliens of military age now IN this
country must serve in the American
army or leave the country. 1t is es-
timated that more than 1'O0O,W0
slackers are now in the United States.
The committee voted to report faV-
orabie the resolution by Senator
Chamberlain drafting these aliens. It
is expected that the bill will be pass
ed Monday by the senate.
The resolution has been changed to
exempt all aliens who cannot under
treaty or law become citizens. This
includes Chinese and Japanese. Enemy
aliens and subjects Of countries with
which the United States has treaties
exempdng them from military service
are also excluded IN che draft.

time as possible to plan for moving the
fertilizer. Early orders will give them
a knowledge of the number OF cars
that will be needed.
Government Authorities Backing IL
The National Council of Defense has
sent out bulletin on this very subject
urging farmers to order their fall fer
tilizers early so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
of human food produced.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture through the States he
lations Service and Bureau OF Soils;
and agricultural colleges and coun
ty agents, are advising the same.
The railroads are very urgent abou'
the matter. The fertilizer manufac'
turers are offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible 10
overcome the transportation difficult
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half Of the cars ordinari-
" used for hauling fertilizers could
do the business, if only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.
Where a full car load can not be
made up for one destination, then it
is to be filed with orders for neigh
boring stations along railroad.

More Wheat and Oats From the South

cotton will take their turn in every
well planned farm.
The scant oat crop should be hus-
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especial ,
if they are grown in the region wh
they are to be planted. The same Il
true OF wheat unless in given sec
ton the best variety for that section
has not yet been used.
Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers. can ship only in full
carload lots it is quite probable that
farmers will be disappointed when
seeding time comes. The railroads
will probably have more than they can
do even with full carload shipments.
It is a national necessity to see that
no freight car space is wasted.

GAME WARDEN MUDDLE
AGAIN IN COURTS

Columbia, July 2S.-Under an opin-
ion rendered by Attorney General
Peoples tonight, Mr.. Wade Hampton
Gibbes, today appointed chief game
warden by Governor Manning upon
the recommendation Of a rump con-
vention held here several days ago,
will have to go into the courts to se.-
tie his claims for the honoring of his
pay warrants.
ut will be seen from this decision
(referring to the decision of the su-
preme COURT that the Audubon So
ciety must recommend and che COVER
nor must nominate one and the same
person before such person is entl-
tied to hold and enjoy the Office OF
the chief game warden" the attorney
general holds.
The matter went to the attorney
general upon a letter from the comp
troller general, who asked for an
opinion in response to commun1ca-
tion from President E. C. L. Adams
Of the Audubon society, who wrote
both the comptroller general and the

the recommendation of the hump

ciety. was in Columbia tonight and

How can the farms produce more

How can more acres be planted to
Mood crops or how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with

The railroads can't do the busi-

TRANSFORMATION facilities, if the United
States is to furnish, the needed sur
plus of men, airplanes and munitions
ind food.
The transportation problems before
the United States both on land ana
sea are constantly increasing in scope.
It seems to be certain now that whole
railroad systems will have to be set
I'D in France to give the American
line the flow of war materials and
men that it must have to press home
an attack.
There is an old military rule that
fortified position cannot be taken
by direct attack, but must be turned or
isolated entirely. Some observers
here say the allied offensive has con-
sisted only of direct attacks against
a line of fortifcations stronger than
any tort of former days. The maze
of trenches, entanglements, armored
strong posts and fortified villages ex-
tends miles back of the front on both
sides. so that in effect a fortified belt
stretches from the sea to the Swiss
border that is perhaps more than lO0
miles wide. Military men here believe
that no breach can be made for many
months through the German line OF
sufficient width to permit such opera
tions in the rear as would force a
rolling up of the entire German front.
Admitting all these points there is
no sign of Encouragement among
American officials. President Wilson
declaration that the nation, not merely
an army, must be made ready for war
is being carried out determinedly and
apparently with confidence that IN
time men and supplies can be got 20

of aviation, and a chief medical officer
testified.
The committee had expected that
some of the s5,9OO000,OO0 might not
be absolutely necessary for this year 5
expenditure. But the army experts
,aid contracts had been made for
practically all of the sum. About
$500 900 900 will not have to be paid
until next year but must be raised
now.
Substracting this $700,OO0,OOO and
the S600,O0O,0O0 already appropriated
for the aviation service, the immedi-
ate army bill will be about s4,560,-
100000. The committee did not con-
slider today any plans for raising the
additional money needed. The whole
day was consumed in hearing the
military experts.
So vast is the sum wanted that the
whole financial plan has been
thrown into disorder, and the commit
teemen have not been able to make
up their minds about the new bur
den.
Sentiment though is against loading
IN surtaxes in addition to those pro-
posed in the present war revenue bill
of 100000
1t means still to be the idea to add
81 .OOO.00O,N0O of taxation to the bill
placing the leyies on yet untaXed
sources. The other part Of the need
ed money will probably be raised
through bond issues.
The committee will meet tomorrow
and begin work on its arduous task
