Free Cooking School at High
School all of Next Week
Valuable Prizes Offered

Mrs. Helen II. Downing. who Is to
lecture upon and demonstrate econom-
ioal and healthful menus at the cook
ing school given under the auspices OF
THE EVENING JOURNAL at the High
School. from 30 to o'clock each ar
ternoon next week. is going TO give
some very straightforward advice on
the meat situation.
According to Mrs. Downing, the price
Of most cuts OF meat have gone up 10
stay. Increased cost OF production and
enormous increase Of population have
more 10 do with the increased price OF
beef than the European war. To meet
the situation even when the war is
over, American housewives will need
TO revolutionze their ideas as TO the
place Of meat in the family menu.
During the cooking school period the
lecturer will explain the different cuts
OF meat and how the cheaper ones can
be prepared 50 as to be appetizing as
we'll as health giving She will also
show meat dishes in which other foods
are combined with meats Mrs. Down
ing, before the war. Travelled extern
sively in European countries making
a careful study Of food conditions in
the families. The American housewife
Is now confronted with the same stu
etiOn that French women had TO meet
many years ago; that is the high price
OF meat as compared with other food
products. The American housewife
will have to meet the situation as her
foreign sisters have done, by making
the meat dish a part OF the meal, but
only in its necessary proportion to
other foods.

GEORGE c. uNDERHILL DEAD
Prominent Rutland Marble Man Native
of Dorset

Rutland, July 17.-George c. Under
Hill of this city, widely known as a
marble man and promoter, died at his
home Saturday afternoon of diabetes.
He underwent an operation last We'd
nesday for the amputation of his left
leg Mr.. Underhill had travelled ex-
tensiyely in this country and went
abroad six times in marble research
work and he was frequently consulted
as an expert
He was born in Dorset and became
associated with the marble industry at
an early age. His first interest was
with the True Blue Marble company,
now absorbed by the Vermont Marble
company He built the big plant of
the Rutland,Florence Marble company
at Fowler and he was for some years
general manager OF the Columbian
Marble company in this city. In his
last years he was in the real estate

Washington, July 16.-With drawing
of lots for selective draft army await
ing only completion of exemption ma
chinery in few scattered sections of
the country, officials here are anxious
that registrants take every opportun-
ity between now and the day OF draw.
ing to inform themselves thoroughly
regarding exemption regulations so as
to reduce to minimum the confusion
to be cleared up after designations
arc made.
Officials here are anxious that local
boards make it clear everywhere that
no question of exemption of any regis
tered man for any other cause than
physical disability or dependent rela-
tives can be taken up before the local
boards. The whole matter of indus
trial exemptions is left to the superior
boards, one of which has been created
in each federal Judicial district.
No individual case where exemption
is desired because the registrant is
engaged in industry classified as vital
to the conduct of the war will be TAX
en- up until that individual has been
called up for examination by his local
board, found to be without dependents
and physically fit for military duty and
certified to the superior board After
that application to the superior board
for exemption on other grounds will
be admissible The registrant or his
employer may file necessary afiidavits
with the superior board seeking ex-
emption and the case will be heard
promptly.
Another point on which there has
been much doubt is the status Of reg
strants absent from their registra-
tion districts. Scores of requests have
come from men in this situation ask
ing if they will have TO return to their
home towns for examination. They
have been informed that if they are
selected for examination each will be
notified by mail by his local board
and then can apply to the local board
for permission to undergo examination
"a the town where he is located
Such action cannot be taken, how
ever, until the registrant has actual
ly been summoned by his local board.

VERMONT SIXTH
IN VOLUNTEER
ENL|STMENTS
Leads All the Big States in
Proportion to Population
OREGON HEADS LIST
OF the Seven Leading States In the
Union Four Are in New England
Maine Is Second

Vermont is in the first half dozen
OF the As states Of the union in yolun-
teer enlistments in proportion to pop
ulation. Instead OF being behind as
has been freely charged in metropoli-
tan papers, Vermont is one Of the
leaders.
The first seven states in rank are
Oregon, Maine, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Wyoming, Vermont and
Kansas. It is striking nrcof of the
loyalty and patriotism of New England
that four of the seven are OF this lit
tie group of New England states.
The figures are taken from the war
department announcement in prepa-
ration for the draft Each state is
called upon to fill gross quota and
the number to be drafted in each
state is the states gross quota less
the number who have volunteered
either into the regular army or the
National Guard
Below is given list of the states
in the order of their rank in volunteer
enlistment. The first column gives
the gross total required of each state
The second column shows the number
that must be drafted from each state
to make up the number the state must
furnish. The third column is the per-
centage to be supplied by draft. II
can thus be seen that the smaller the
percentage vi draft the greater has
been the proportion Of volunteer en-
listment The list of the states in the

CROWN PRINCE
TO MUCH FOR
VON HOLLWEG
War Party Opposed Chan
celIor's Peace Proposal
DEMOCRACY DOWNEO
Effort for Reforms, Supported by
Bavaria and Austria. Was Hope
less From the Start.

London, July 17.-The events of the
past few days have stirred Berlin as
the city has not been stirred since
the war began, according to informa-
tion reaching Amsterdam. The man
in the street took tremendous inter
est in the great political battle going
on behind the scenes and although the
exact issues between the two great
groups of combatants were yelled from
the common people" the latter never
theless quickly gained the impression
that DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, as
champion of popular reforms, had en-
tered the lists against the emperor,
the crown prince, Field Marshall Won
Hindenburg and Gen. Ludendorff.
1t was almost the first time that
Won Bethmann-Hollweg had figured
in the Berlin streets as popular hero
and although his cause had many
friends, popular opinion regarded his
effort as hopeless against the great
prestige of the royal house, allied with
the military imperialists, Won linden
burg and Ludendorff.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's chief
support in his brief effort for democra-
cy seems to have come from Bavaria
and Austria, as the report goes at Am
sterdam. He made two proposals;
The first, that, in the direction of de-
mocratization, a new body under the
name of the Reiehstag shonsd be i'm
mediately constituted, which would
be a sort of committee on national de-
fense and would for the time being
act as a go-between twixt the Reich
stag and the emperor, thus instituting
on modified scale the principle OF
parliamentary responsibility; the sec
ond, that the government should i'm
mediately make an authoritative dec
laration of no annexations or indemni-
ties. Both these proposals, II is as
serted, had.the backing OF Bavaria and
Austria, although Austria naturally
had no open voice in the matter, which
was purely German internal affair.
Both proposals were violently op'
posed by the crown prince, Won Hin
denburg and Ludendorff. 1t is declar-
ed that Won Hindenburg came out OPP
enly for a German" peace and avow-
ed that Bavaria and Austria must be
persuaded that victorious peace was
certain In a short time through the
agency of the U-boats. DR.. Won Beth
mann.Hollweg resigned from his post
of chancellor after his conference with
the crown prince, in which the latter
convinced the chancellor that his
cause was lost.

london July l7.-German merchant
men are beginning to take the risk
of capture in an effort TO reopen the
coastwise trade which has been praq-

London, July 17.--Again the Teu-
tonic allies have suffered reyerses, in
the loss to the Russians of part of
the village of Lodziany, in the Lomni-
ca river region of Galica, in the re-
pulse, by the Russians, of an attack
northeast of Kalusz and in the Cham
pagne region Of France, where the
French drove them from positions
they had recaptured, inhicting heavy
casualties on them.
From Riga on the Baltic J the Ru-
manian frontier the Russians and Aus
tro-Germans along the entire front
are engaged in battle, br ycept in
Galicia, where the Russi.n5 continue
to develop their advantage or hold
back thrusts of the Teutons. little has
become known concerning the opera
ticns.
Not alone have the Russians, in
their drive in Galicia, made goodly
gains of territory, but their captures OF
men, guns and material have been
enormous. From July to July 10, ac
cording to Russian official communi-
cation, 36.643 officers and men of the
Teutonic allied armies have been
made prisoners by General Brussi-
Ions forces and SO heavy and light
guns, twenty-eieht trench motars,
40S machine guns and 81 guns OF other
descriptions have been taken.
German troops are being withdrawn
in large numbers from the italian and
French fronts and sent to Riga to
start counter offensive against Rus
sia, according to dispatches received
today at the Russian embassy.
On the Lemberg front, the left flank
of the AustroGerman army is said to
be seriously threatened, with the re
suit that the enemy is rushing men
back and forth in heavy automobiles
in order to support the weakened
wing. General Korniloff, in taking the
town OF kalusz made a serious strate-
gical threat against the whole oppos-
ing German forces and the question re
mains as to whether he may not com
plete it. with serious results to the
Germans.
