LIFE EXTENSION INSTITUTE
JOINS IN FOOD CAMPAIGN
Asserts vegetable Garden May Be
Equal Of Soldier as War
Time Asset"

"A vegetable garden may be the equal
70 a soldier as a wartime asset"
With this admonition tho Life Exten-
sion Institute of New York city today
issued bulletin which marks its en-
trance into the campaign for increased
food production, launched two months
ago by The Star in Washington.
THE crying need of the cause for
which the country Is preparing to fight
is food" the bulletin stated
'The human war engines and the hui
man machines that are back of the
firing line making munitionB require
fuel and the fuel comes out Of the
ground in the form Of food products.
Food strategy may prove more
potent in terminating the war than
military strategy"
The Life Extension Institute Is a
philanthropic enterprise to encourage
Americans to more healthfu1 ways OF
living. Associated with it are Prof
Irving Fisher of Yale and William
Howard Taft.
The institute bulletin approaches the
garden problem from the standpoint OF
hygiene. as follows:
with heavy demand for food prod
ucts, and especially If there is q large
export, there is danger of a shortage
Of certain classes Of foods that are
in the nature Of .safcty-first' elements
in the diet.
Vegetables from the garden may be-
come scarce and insufficient. even II
there Is government control of prices
and there is great need for a special
provision against such a shortage.
1.-THE great foundation needs of the
diet are the grains (flour and cereals)
the legumes (peas and beans) and po-
tatoes. These must come largely from
the farm. From the garden can come
those small fruits and vegetables thai
are expensive in proportion to the ac.
tual amount of energy that they fur
nish. but are nevertheless valuable be.
cause of their vitamins, minerals an6
bulk. Fruit and green vegetables, car
rots. turnips, beets. tomatoes. cabbage
all are foods that help to vary the diet
and have a valuable function, though
not an indispensable one, as compared
with the fuel foods.
THE unfavorable market conditions
which were experienced during the past
fall and winter with regard to these
garden vegetables could be largely
overcome by united effort on the par,
of all who have the opportunity to raise
them.
"Also. there should be a full utiliza.
ton of these foods in the kitchen.
There is peculiar mental as well as
physical benefit from gardening. 1t is
very much like trout fishing. The mine
is rested If we wish to rest or, a gentle
stream of thought, often of creative
thought, can be aroused and carried or
while gardening"

TWO GAMES PLAYED
IN AMATEUR LEAGUES
General Office and Maroons Victors
on Diamond-Masons Making
Preparations.
BY II. c. BYRD.

General Office and Maroons won in
the two amateur leagues that staged
base ball games yesterday. The former
defeated Shops by an overwhelming
score and the latter got the long end
Baking Company. General Office count
ed IS runs against for Shops.
The Maroons got a lead early in the
Rosedale League contest, out IN the
closing innings General Bakers came
through with batting rallies; which
runs made by the losing nine were
scored in the last three periods Cen
eral Office scored five runs In the first
inning and then got five more In the
and there was not much to the game
afterward Hutchinson of General
ONCE connected while at bat with the
ball for three singles and a double.
The crowds attending games in the
three amateur leagues now in opera
ton are small. In fact it is probable
that fewer persons are watching the
diamond contests now than at any
previous time In the history of that
phase of the sport here. The Rosedale
circuit has not been having the big
crowds that watched its contests a
year ago, and yesterday the game in
the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ. c. A. or
ganizatidn did not attract more than
100 spectators. Amateur base ball, as
far as this year is concerned, and prob
ably until the war is ended. is not
going to be very popular around Wash
ington.
There is one base ball game sched-
uled between amateur teams which is
sure to draw a huge throng. one of the
largest at American League Park this
year-that to be played by the Masans
between teams representing the Shrine
and the Grotto. This contest comes on
June 20. and there Is no doubt that
somewhere around $4,000 persons. and
possibly more. viii watch the play. Elk
tensive arrangements for the game are
being made by the committee in charge
and good teams are being got together
by the managers.
Three years ago when the idea Of the
Masonic ball game was preached by
Robert H. Young, past master of Har-
mony Lodge, few persons thought that
it would ever reach the proportions 1t
has. At that time 1t was generally sup
posed that the contest would be some
thing in the nature OF a freak affair,
but 1t turned out serious proposition,
out of which thousands of dollars were
realized for the benefit of the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home. 1t was so big
after single year that it was taken
over by the Association of Worshipful
Masters ana mas since peeH CoHuucleu
under the direction of that organiza-
ton by a specially appointed commit
tee.
Each year there are certain features
about the game which lend a lot to the
game. Various stunts are provided, which
AFFORD much amusement and give to the
contest an air of genfaltty not uSua@
to be found upon such occasions. What
is done Is always as interesting to the
layman as to the man who has been
through the various degrees of Ma
sonry.

The Markets
PRICESLOWER and
OUTLOOK BETTER
Crop Indications RESPONSE
bic For Downward
Trend In Market

Chicago. May 23.--wheat: Prices
werel over today and crop reports
more encouraging. One important fea-
ture of the situation is the good OUT
look for the spring wheat crop at this
time. Cash premiums hold firm and
there is little cash stuff being offered,
in spite of the fact that primary re-
ceipts are still liberal for the time of
year Foreign conditions remain UNI
changed. The food control Legislation
is now before congress and probably
some sort OF legislation will result
perhaps very greatly Affecting grain
markets, Restricted trading seems
likely to continue with little present
Significance to the fluctuations.
Corn: The market opened higher but
sold of quite sharply with fair de-
mand developing on setbacks. The cash
demand was fair with prices firm relar-
lively in the sample crowd. Crop re-
ports are favorable and IL the crop gets
a good start on big acreage this will
have a depressing effect on deferred
futures Weather fine as rule, with
good rains insuring rapid growth with
warmer weather.
oats: oats have been easy most OF
the session after q steady opening. Crop
news very favorable from nearly every
section; recent rains have given the
crop the needed moisture and in many
sections will practically carry the crop
to harvest. Cash trade moderately act
i've.
Provisions: Lower on the increased
hog receipts and the liquidation of lard,
credited to houses with foreign con-
nections.

QUARREL Is WITH THE ID
GERMAN AUTOCRACY
President Wilson Rastates Reasons
Why the United States Entered
the War. a
(By Associated Press. /,

Washington. May %. - No nation
that respected itself or the rights Of
humanity could longer have borne the
overwhelming wrongs that Germany
inflicted upon the United States. Presi-
dent Wilson declared in a letter re-
stating the reasons for the nations
entrance into the war, written to
Representative Hehin of Alabama and
made public today at the White House.
Mr.. Hefiin had written TO the presi-
dent saying some OF his recent utter
ances on the war apparently had caus-
ed confusion over the issue with Ger
many. In restating his position the
president again made II clear that the
United States has no quarrel with the
racy which acts upon purposes 70
which the German people have never
consented"
The letter follows:
1T is incomprehensible TO me how
any frank and honest person could
doubt or question my position with
regard to the war and its objects. I
have again and again stated the very
serious and long continued wrongs
which the imperial German govern
ment had perpetrated against the
rights, the commerce and the citizens
OF the United States. The list is long
and overwhelming. No nation that
RESPECTS lIbelI OF the TlEuNH OF humans
ty could have borne those wrongs any
longer
Our objects in going into the war
have been stated with equal clearness.
The whole Of the conception which 4
take to be the conception OF our fell
low countrymen with regard TO the
outcome OF the war and the terms of
its settlement set forth with the ut
most explicitnees in an address TO the
senate of the United States on Jan %
last Again in 3 message TO congress
on April last, those objects were
stated in unmistakabIa terms
Il can conceive no purpose in seek
ing to becloud this matter except the
purpose OF weakening the hands OF the
government and making the part
which the United States Is TO play ia
this great struggle for human liberty
an inefficient and hesitating part. We
have entered the war for our own rea-
sons and with our own objects clearly
slated and shall forget neither the rea-
son nor the objects. There ID no hate
in our hearts for the German people.
but there IL a resolve which cannot be
shaken even by misrepresentation to
overcome the pretensions OF the
autocratic government which acts up-
on purposes to which the German peo-
pie have never consented.

to somewhat timidly as yet as the bull

out to take in a larger number OF Isl

stocks retained their leadership but
advances were much more general even
taking the railroad stocks. 1t is still
a market largely dominated by profess

ed il commission business still at a low

Conditions are not fundamentally diff
ferent now from what they were ten
days ago except for the better feeling
as regards the situation in Russia. but
investors and traders are beginning to
take a more hopeful view OF the stu
alton. So far this market has followed
the course of previous bull periods. Its
turning point has passed almost nnno-

those who had no lines of stock. The
impetus given by professional and 9TH
