Mrs. Lansing's Statement.

Speaking for the women of the cabi-
net, Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife OF the
Secretary of State. gave out this state
ment:
Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Marshall and the
women of the cabinet realizing some
of the problems that this country will
have to face as a result of our being
in a state of war, have resolved to re-
duce their living to a simple form, and
to deny themselves all unnecessary ex-
penditures while the war continues.
"They have decided to omit the usual
formal entertaining and calling and to
eliminate largely their social activities,
so that they will be enabled to give
more time and money to constructive
preparedness and relief work. In the
management of their domestic economy
they pledge themselves to buy mex
pensive clothing and simple food. and
to watch and prevent all kinds of
waste.
erSy of the country should be given to
the conservation of all its resources
and the cultivation of all available land
for the production of food, that it may
be able out of it's abundance to help
those who are in such desperate need.
They make an appeal to all the
women of America to do everything in
their power along these lines, not only
as individuals, but by organizing to
prevent actual suffering later on, and
to hasten the end of the struggle for
real democracy"
