The garbage from the mess Of

timated will feed one hog a day.
Hogs will gain an average Of one
pound a day on this ration for the
first $50 days, government experts
have determined. The refuse from
each cantonment will be sufficient
to feed 1000 hogs a day This
means an increase of 100000
pounds in pork for the country each
year.
Col. Ellison has injected into
camp life a certain class distinc-

the camps the care o. the garbage
is a regular ceremonial. Waste ma
terial is divided into classes, and a
special receptacle is provided for
each class. There is a can for
bones, one for rope and Irvine. an
other for rags, one for paper. one
for fats and tallow, one for bottles,
one for tins. another for sweepings
and pieces of tobacco. and still an
other for garbage.

BALFOUR PREDICTS
 FAILURE OF U.BOAT
Says Submarines Will Not Decide
 War, in Senate Speech

Washington, May 9-To the ap- plause of the senate and crowded gall 1eries Arthur J. Balfour late yester- day made the confident prediction that the German submarine activity would not be the deciding factor in the great war. He declared that the war conference here had cemented an alliance of three great democracies destined to crush the greatest world menace of all time and to save civi- lization and liberty. Though severe trials still must be faced, he said, free peoples now have been aroused and fired with a determination in-. surfing the ultimate triumph of free institutions,
 'The war; he said. is not going to be settled by the sinking of helpless neutrals or by sending women and children to the bottom by torpedoes or gunf1re. It is to be settled by hard fighting neither America nor Britain nor France need fear measuring themselves at any moment against those who rise up against all that we hold dear for the future"
 MT. Balfour said:

kindness of heart which has given this significance to contemporary events. That significance is, forced upon our notice whether we be citi- zens of America or citizens of France or citizens of Britain, but speak es- pecially at this moment of citizens of America and citizens of Britain. It is forced upon our notice by the un- wearied efforts of an unconscious Ger man propaganda. Whether we live on this side of the Atlantic we English speaking peoples have never organized ourselves for military, purposes; we lave never been military states, and. when the war broke out undoubtedly the Germans looked around the world, estimated the value from their point of view of the nations with whom they might be concerned, and pro- foundly contemptuous of our views of civilization. whether they be, British views or whether they be American. views, they decided that neither Brit ish nor American counted in the. struggle by which they hoped to ob-t tain the domination of the world. They found us unprepared: they found us unmilitary, and because we were unprepared and because we were un-, military they jumped rashly to the conclusion, first, that we were afraid to fight. and. secondly. that if we fought we should be wholly negli- gible quantities. think they are beginning possibly to find out their mistake.
 Men Weighed From Military View.
 ''IIow, ladies and gentlemen. did that mistake ever arise? It arose from the. utter incapacity of the German ruling class-and it is only of the German ruling class that speak to- day-to estimate value except in terms of drilled men and military prepara- ttons. They saw that England ahd America were prosperous, were un- warlike, were immersed in the arts of peace and involved in the industrial interests incident to peaceful civil lization, and they drew from that two conclusions. They drew from it ln the first place the conclusion that because we were commercial We were therefore material; that we were in- capable of high ideals or great sacri : fees, and that even if we determined fate in the day to pursue those high ideals and to make those great sacr;- fees we should be so utterly incom-

.UkASE BY LANSING
 IS MADE STRICTER
State Department Employes Who
 Give News Will Lose Places

Washington, May 9.-Secretary of State Lansng late yesterday took an- other long step in the direction of shutting off news of American foreign relations and preventing criticism of the policies of his department. Monday he issued an order forbidding any one in the department except himself and the recently created and inexperienced bureau of foreign intelligence to give | out news even as to Insignificant mat ters of fact or detail." Yesterday he announced to tho press that any sub- ordinate giving out information con- veying criticism of the departments policies would be dismissed.
 Mir. Lansing. in reference to his first order of silence, had explained that he feared important policies might be prematurely disclosed and that some instances had come to his knowledge. He was pressed to cite such an in stance and he finally admitted that no important instance had yet arisen, but that he feared for the future. He also partment 1t was that he thought might be subjected to criticism by the in- formed members of his staff
 "Mr. Secretary" said one corre- spondent earnestly. We are not here for our own sakes. We are here for the American public'
 This suggestion produced no notice able effect It was pointed out to MT. Lansing that the publication of facts about some policy upon which the de- partment was embarking might per- form a public service by warning the country in time to let it's protest be- come effective. Mir. Lansing replied that g subordinate giving out informa- ton in 8 critical spirit was disloyal.
 Two instances were given of con- fdential news having been given out without authority. One was that of cablegram to Jacob H. Schiff on a mat ter which had practically no news value. but which appeared in the press before 1t had been communicat- ed to MT. schiff. The other was of telegram quoting a German consul in MeHco1ras saying that, tho American to Mexico was hissed in the Mexican. assembly. s:5
 Secretary. Lansing reiterated that the press would have to content itself with what the bureau of foreign in- telligence save out. The chief of the bureau Is without newspaper experi- ence and his assistant has been in for Dign felds-Cuba, China, and Eng and-for several years. The bureau llso has the task of supplying Amer can missions abroad with information

potent in the arts to which they had devoted so much of their attention that our interference in the war would be thing which they could leave wholly on one side. On that miscal
 culation have been wrecked and will be wrecked all their hopes. It was their fatal blunder-a blunder from which they will never recover. but 8 hlunder which has saved civilization.

ment official is prevented from giving the public even such information as that of personalities of distinguished foreigners who come. to the United States on missions. The news gather CTS are cut off from communication with officials actually handling the public business and have access only to the officially censored announce ments of the department.
 MT. Lansing's attitude toward this matter, like that of Attorney General Gregory, who is responsible for the censorship provisions of the espionage bill. it is pointed out, is in striking con- trast with President Wilson's views as announced in his most famous state paper. That paper was his message to congress on April 2, asking a declara- tion of war against the Germn govern ment. In that message the president distinguished sharply between the inn pertal German government and the German people. and it was the secret diplomacy of an hereditary autocrat. he said, that made this distinction pos- sible. In his war message the presi- dent. after saying that self-governed people do not fill their neighbors' countries with spies and intrigues, went on:
 Such designs can be successfully worked out only under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions. Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression, carried 1t, may be. from generation to generation, can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courts or behind the carefully guarded con- fdences of a narrow and privileged class. They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full information concern ing all the nations affairs"
 The attitude of the state depart ment and the department of justice is provoking more and more criticism in congress and in the country. It was the subject of bitter debate in the sen- ate yesterday and again today In the house last week the administrators censorship provision. .4S was stricken from the espionage bill on a straight out test of strength, to be slipped back in lated, when many members-had left the chamber. In the senate the same provision has been materially weak ened, and many senators say it will be rejected entirely when a vote is reached some time this week.

ARMY SURGEON
 DESCRIBES HOW
 MEN ARE HELPED
Wonderful Accomplish ments Achieved, Despite
 Unfavorable Conditions.

London, Aug. 20.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-A graphic account of war as an army surgeon sees it is given in series of articles by Captain Robert V. DalEy, sur geon from British Columbia who en- listed in the British medical corps carly in the war; Describing sharp bit of fighting on the British front in France, he says:
 "All day long the machine guns hammered and scArapnel swept the unhappy regiment. By evening they had 400 casualties, including sixteen officers. So light was the field of fire-the brewery behind them was ablaze-that the doctor could not get to all his wounded. and they lay out that night. When morning broke and the fire died down only the slightly wounded were alive; the cold rain and exposure effectually had robbed the rest of their chance of life
 Here then, was an instance of tho value of warmth. tea and shel- tered dressing room. Of one thing one can be certain, that severely wounded men will not stand the ex- posture of night on the field and sur vive. Wounds associated with much shock, compound fracture of the hip and shoulder joints, and fracture of the thigh, chest wounds, will often do quite well, and rapidly recover from the initial shock when the sol dier is kept warm and morphia giv- en-"
 Here is his description of a busy night in his field dressing station:
 "Very busy were we in that little house: sixty wounded for morphia and dressings. They were most grateful for the warmth, for wounded men suffer acutely from shock, they are so cold, so sweaty and so thirsty. When the morphia acts and the tea and the inevitable cigarette. that iE- comparable sedative for shaken nerves, arrive, the whole aspect of a dressing station alters. Unless man is wounded desperately he soon be- comes quite cheerful and very talk ative. Mo.phia stills the pain with out having great narcotic effe.. ;n times of excitement like this"
