MAKING GOATS OF GERMAN
GENERALS.

Chicago Post: Lieutenant General
Berthold Won Deimling, former military
commander of Zabern, Alsace. has been
pensioned and put on the retired list
by the German government The Bel.
lin Militar Nochenblatt says it is be-
lieved that the general will be made
responsible for the failure of the Ger
man troops to break through the French
line at Nerdun in 1916. At that time
Won Deimling commanded the Fifteenth
German army corps.
The German military authorities
know VINO is responsible for the failure
ut Verdun. but they do not dare place
the responsibility where 1t belongs. OF
course, the French army really is re-
sponsible for the German disaster. for
il was a disaster. on the battle fields
near the famous fortress OF France. but
the responsibility for initiating a move
ment which could not succeed rests on
the shoulders Of the crown prince, who
in reckless ambition to reach Paris
with his armies was willing to sacrifice
the lives of his men in an attempt
which il virtually Is known real soldiers
told him could only end in disaster.
IL is the hizh hope that some day the
German people will insist that RESPONSE
bility for their troubles back Of the line

BACK TO THE BREAD KNIFE.

Put the family loaf of bread on the
dining room table, with the bread knife
handy. and cut on slice on request"
That's suggestion from the Cleve-
land food conservation committee. The
chairman explains that one of the chief
causes of waste on the American table
is the custom Of cutting a superfluous
number of slices OF bread. The slices
that are uneaten turn stale quickly,
and are likely 10 be thrown away. We
can save great quantities of wheat" he
says. ''if everybody will slice the loaf
right at the table. | want to see this
done eve nat the big dinners and par.
ties"
Why not? It's a simple and easy
thing to do. And it's the natural way.
We come by 1t honestly enough in this
country. Most of our mothers and
grandmothers used 10 serve bread in
this very same manner. What middle
aged man or woman doesn't remember
the big loaf an dthe knife that mother
carved it with at the table? There's
sense in II, too. aside from the duty of
saving bread The slice cut off before
your eyes Is fresher and more appetiz
ing.
And we have plenty of respectable
examples. England started n revival
of the same good old practice a year or
two ago. Queen Mary herself has

knife, ut her royal table-or half loaf

TORPEDO NINE" A MENACE.
Ships Are Endangered by FlOatin.
Weapons Released By U-BOats.

Baltimore sun: The newest engine of
war to be introduced by the Germans is
the torpedo mine" according 10 the
captain of British merchant vessel
now In port. who is also reserve officer
in the British army.
According to this captain, the new
idea is just what the name implies and
is nothing more than a spent torpedo
that has missed its mark.
In the past, when n torpedo was fired
at merchant or war vessel by a sub
marine and failed to strike the mark,
the explosive tube kept on its course un-
I'll its motive power died out, when it
sank Now, however, the Germans have
perfected the torpedoes to such degree
that If one misses its target 1t will turn
becoming n high explosive mine. The
torpedo nose becomes a detonating cap.
as well as one or two more that are
distributed over the tube.
Like the "periscope mine" which
made its appearance when the British
admiralty gave the order to sink sub
marines by ramming them. and offered
a reward for each, the new mine was
quickly discovered and. according to the
captain. is now carefully watched for.
The merchant captain also had some
thing to say about the art of camou
flage which is now being used on mer-
chant vessels to offset the submarines.
