MANY MISTAKES
 MADE BY ALLIES

The capital mistakes made by the allies are as follows, declares Andre Cheradame in the Atlantic Monthly: They believed that frnedly agree ment with Bulgaria was possible. all though that country was treaty bound to Berlin and Constantinople long be fore the war. They cherished illusions concerning King Constantine, who, above all else, was brother-in-aW of the kaiser They organized the Dar- danelles expedition, which should nev- CT have been attempted. Even if this operation had been judged technically feasible, its futility would have been apparent if the allies had realized and it was their arch error not to re- alize-that the strategic key to the whole European war was the Danube.
 The mere occupation by the allies of the territory stretching from Monte- negro through Serbia to Rumania, would have resolved all the essential problems of the conflict. Cut off from the central empires, Bulgaria and Tur key, whose arsenalS were depleted by the Balkan disturbances of 1912-1913 would have found it impossible to make d strong stand against the all lies. Turkey, who had been imprudent enought to defy them, would have been obliged to open the straits within a very short time, for sheer lack of munitions to defend them.
 This opening of the straits would have been effected by a strong pres sure by the allies on the south of Hungary Moreover, by the same ac- ton the central empires would have been barred from endorsements and supplies from the Orient. Germany, | finding herself cut off on land In the south as she was blockaded by sea In | the north, would have been obliged to come to terms.

HALF THE VICTORY BELONGS ID WOMEN

Women do half the fighting. Victory or defeat is 50 per cent theirs. It is up to the housewife The great need in the present food situation is to increase production and to decrease waste. In each of these branches ev- eryone who owns a home and every one who runs a stove can help. This is general opportunity for service.
 Science has as much place in the kitchen as on the battle field The household should be investigated care fully, and every leak should be elim- l"n' sd The garbage pail especially should not stand for waste.
 It is economical to buy by weight Insist on full weight. Do not buy in quantities. Large purchases of food will force prices higher and play into the hands of speeulators Keep the de- mand normal and the supply will have more chance. See if you can do better buying bulk goods than package goods. Try variety; see if, by eXtend' ing your food range, you can save or make things go farther Watch prices and see if you can buy cheaper else where than in the usual place. Prices vary from store to store.
 In production your community can help. Read about the plans in other towns. Amherst. Mass, has a central committee which will instruct pros pecitve producers of food. The com mittee will buy seed and fertilizer wholesale, and will supervise, help and make sure that everything is done to evact the greatest efficiency in produe ton.
 Start something of the kind in your town. This is a chance for women to serve.
 Secretary Lane said: The women of America can do no greater work at this time than to raise their vegetables, can their own fruit, prevent waste i'll their homes.'
 If the women do this they will be bearing 90 per cent of the burden, ac- cording to MT Lanes belief.
 Here is something for you to do in your home and in your town: Write tt the department of agriculture in Washington if you need information. State colleges of agriculture and the Boy Scouts of America also will help. See if this is your chance to serve.

Belief is rapidly crystal
