MEN, AS WELL AS WOMEN SHOULD
 ECONOMIZE

WASHINGTON,-Dr Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of women of the Council of National Defense, has re- turned to Washington after busy week of speech making. She has been talking about the work of the com mitee of women and the plans which are being made at headquarters for the coordination of the woman power. She spoke in Newark, N. J., to about 1000 members of various organizat- ions. and in Deleware County before the annual convention of the Suffrage Association of New York.
 "The response everywhere was won- derfully enthusiastic and sincere said Dr. Shaw, q find that women are eager to work and most interested in finding out howe best they can serve their country There is a growing sen timent, however, against being scolded by everyone in regard to saving. Wo- men are more economical than men. The soldiers have written back to us that they want tobacco. Well, I say let the men economize on tobacco and give the boys in the trenches a smoke if it is going to make them happier or more comfortable. If each man would put aside one cigar each day, the sol diers could have a great time smoking We'll eat Indian corn to give them bread; let the men also make sacri- flee. And the Government would do we'll to look after the machinery of transportation and the military indus try as well as the woman in the kit chen. The women will economize. They are eager to. They want to do everything in their power to help. They know, too, that barley is just as good in soup as it is in beer"

HINDENBURG NOT
 POPULAR WITH KAISER

A few years ago at the annual Ger man army maneuvers Von Hindenburg was placed at the head of the army of invasion" which was to meet the kaiser's army of defense" in East Prussia. The war game continued for several days. Won Hindenburg had the best of the operation, but because he was leagued against the emperor he had to play defeated"
 Afterward when the kaiser met his antagonist he boasted about his sue cess and Von Hindenburg quietly re- marked that if it had been real war he would have destroyed the kaiser's ar my and marched into Berlin. This an- gered his imperial majesty and Paul von Hindenburg was "banished' to Hanover
 Von Hindenburg was never poular with the kaiser. He cant tell stories and the emperor admires and loves only those men who can flatter and entertain him. Field Marshal von Mackensen owes his success to his ability to jolly" his majesty. But the present chief of staff has always been popular with the empress and the people.
 When Won Hindenburg's headquar ters were in Brest-Litovsk, pre-war city of sixty thousand inhabitants which the retreating czar's forces burned to the ground, the empress sent him once week from her Potsdam kitchen a box of delicious food. In the good old days of the war when Germans could buy anything and ev- erything without cards they flooded Von Hindenburg's office with gifts If the German people ever feel that they no longer have monoply on God, presume they will worship St. Paul von Hindenburg.-C w. Alderman.
