No Further Move On Part Of
Mediator Is Made Up To

San Francisco, Nov 3.-Although
United States Mediator Werner 2. Reed
at noon today received reply from
Secretary of Labor Wilson to his sug-
gestion that the government com
mandeer the plant and services of the
employees of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company, Reed had not made
any further announcement of his posi-
tion at l p. m. He told the United
Press that he was awaiting receipt of
a further telegram from Secretary Will
son before issuing a statement.
Meanwhile, complications in the tele-
phone strike have set in. The action
of International President McNulty of
the electrical workers union, instruct
ing locals in the northwest to order
their striking members back to work
under penalty Of loss of charter, did
not have any immediate result.
Officers of the district council Of the
electrical workers did not regard seri-
ously McNulty's threat to revoke char
ters. These officials say the striking
members at Tacoma, Portland and other
sumo work now, believing that such ac-
tion might result in advantage to the
telephone company.
Although officials of the telephone
company were silent regarding the sit
uation, it was reported that they do not
believe the government will com
mandeer their plant and employees. IT
was pointed out in some quarters that
the federal mediation board has nc
authority to commander, its powers
being confined merely t orecommend-

w. G. Lee, president of the Brother

denied reports that union officials in
conference here would force a strike Of
250,O00 railroad employes-tying up

According to Copenhagen dispatches,

and sank, aflame, ten minutes after
starting the engagement.

London. Nov. 3.-With forces on
both sides arrayed and Italians and
Germans both massing reserves, artil
lery and munitions for the impending
fight, the battle of the Tagliamento
had apparently started today in local
attacks, lpQtrol skirmishes, .En,ermit-

sic advantage. 1t may be days before
the full force is thrown into the strug
gle by either side.
In the meantime, word was received
here today from Swiss sources indi
eating that the Germans are transport
ing great numbers of men and guns to
the Tretino, apparently with the idea
of striking on this front in an attempt

the orderly arrangement of General
Cadorna's S rescued army behind the

was expressed in the strength of this
line to repel every assault of the in

Experts here believe the German

the latter plan is followed out, experts

should be every woman's motto this
year.
Much of the surplus garden prod
uce can be preserved for win
ter use by canning or by drying,
and every bit should be harvested and
conserved. Canning and drying recipes
may be obtained from the College OF
Agriculture, Madison, and canning

munity by applying to the Farmers
Institute department of the University

extension service of that institution.
Some Suggestions for Thrift.
Save all pieces of bread and use in
buildings, sOuff1es, mullins, pancakes or
some other form. 1t has been estimat-
ed that if each family in the United
States wasted one slice of bread a day
it would amount to $75,000000 q year.
Save all fats. We are now import
ing large amounts of butter Even
cottonseed oil has lessened the produc-
ton on account of boil weevil.
Save all rags and paper bags. Paper
is growing very scarce and your thrift
will help make production possible.
Save old sheets, linen, etc, for Red
Cross use. Conserve your wOOlens, rs
wool is growing scarce, owing to
slaughter of young lambs.
Avoid purchasing young lambs and
veal for time, to increase sources of
wool, milk and butter.
Do not overStOck with materials; it
creates uncertain markets.
Study the problem of nutrition as
never before, to cope with the high
prices of foods. Learn to substitute
| certain nutrients for others, to com
bine all foods with reference to the
proper nouriShment of your family
members.
The nation needs wcll-develOped men
and women and diet is n great essen
tial for proper physical development.
Organize clubs for self-education In
conservation Of foods, cooperate and
talk with the farmer, the butcher, the
miller the grocer. Household eff
cheney has now become an undoubtable
national duty.

WAYS WOMEN
MAY SERVE NOW
BY LAURA 3. BREEsE,
Department of Farmers institute, Uni
versity of Wisconsin.

War calls women to national service
as we'll as men.
Never have women been needed ma
tionally more than at the present time.
Will they be ready to respond Loyalty
to the emergency calls?
Major General Leonard Wood lists
these two very important ways women
may help their country: /. By working
an industry, thereby releasing men for
the front, and 2, by joining the Amer
lean Red Cross.
If every woman fully realized how
much her membership counted in the
development Of the great relief work
carried on by the Red Cross Organi-
cation, she would not tarry longer in
becoming Il member.
The membership fees are small, but
the work accomplished by virtue Of
these fees and the service of it's mem
bers is of unreasonable value. Every
woman should be impelled by a sense
of duty and desire to serve in this
work.
General Woods other suggestion Of
women being able to serve in industry
WOmen'S consideration.
There are classes offered now in
business methods, Sten0graphy, COM
merce, telegraphy, motor service, etc,
that women may take and become bet
ter prepared to fill places which will
Drnnorn6nncC
such services may later prevent CON
fusion and paralysis of business.
Other classes open to women are
those fitting them to become nurses
aids in time of war-such classes as
First Aid" GDietetics," preparation
Of Surgical Dressings" Elementary
Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick"
Hundreds OF nurses aids may be
needed if war progresses. Women are
also wanted to take the special train
ing courses for nurses, fitting them to
serve in hospitals and so fill the places
of the professional nurses called out
rs Red Cross nurses.
Other Ways We Can Help.
To help in the production Of more
foodstuffs and to aid in the cOnserva-
ton 0e foods let every woman Guilt
waite a larger garden this year, care
for it cOnscientiously and conserve
every bit of the produce from it.
Women may be important in pre-
venting possible food famines next
wear. There IS no more patriotic Sefv-
ice open to her than this and now is
the time for her to act. To delay in
rendering this service may mean "the
losing of the kingdom"
"To grow foods, to preserve foods,
