BIC DEMAND FOR
VEGETABLE OILS
Many Substitutes for Olive
Oil Are Necessarily Be-
ing Developed.

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 90.
The demand for the oils suitable
for salad dressings and general food
purposes has increased so rapidly in
recent years that. according to an
article in the 1916 yearbook of the
United States department of agri-
culture, the consumption is now
many times greater than the pro-
duction Of olive oil, which formerly
was the chief product used for this
purpose. In the United States cot
tonseed, coconut, and peanut oils
are being used extensively. Corn
oil is beginning TO appear in the re-
tail market and it is probable that
sooner or later numerous other oils
in more or less general use in for
eign countries, such as the sun
flower, the soy bean. poppy seed. and
sesame will become more common
in this country.
Food oils, like other culinary and
table fats. are valuable sources Of
energy TO the body. and it is for this
reason that we regard fats, and
rightly, as very important food
stuffs. The food oils are well as
simulated. the question Of which one
is to be preferred for domestic use
being largely a matter Of individual
taste and relative price
Although large quantities of olive
oil are imported into the United
States, the American product is Of
high quality and commands a good
price The demand for picked
olives. however. is so great that il
pays better in general TO use the
fruit in this way instead Of crush
ing il for oil. Furthermore. the
American olives are not so rich in
oil as the Italian. Many Of the va
rieties grown in southern Europe
contain between 40 and so percent
of oil and in this country usually
less than so percent is obtained.
On the other hand. the I ited
States produces by far the greater
part Of the cottonseed oil the world
" every respect a satisfactory sub
stitute for olive oil At the pres
ent time the United States pro-
duces about three million barrels OF
this oil and exports about 100000
barrels. The process of msnufac-
turing the finer grades Of cotton
seed oil is described in detail in the
article already mentioned. IT is
noteworthy that this process IS
much more complicated than the
one employed for the manufacture
Of olive oil The finest grades Of the
latter are those which are express
ed from the fruit with the least
possible subsequent treatment. on
the other hand, for cOttonseed oil

it must be refined and. in addition
il is often desirable 10 bleach and
deodorize it,
The yield Of oil is usually less
than L percent OF the weight Of
seed handled and. in consequence.
there is large residue Of cake and
huils. This material is valuable as
feed or fertilizer and can often be
disposed OF 10 the local farmers
For this reason crude cottOnseed
oil mills are often located in small
towns througOut the cotton grow
ing sections. The crude oil is ship

With the American Army in France,
Nov. 23.-Another relief has taken
place on the American sector. 1t was
accomplished successfully and with
out the knowledge of theenemy. Ar
tillery activity continues normal, with
the usual patrolling.
The troops to be relieved left their
positions In small groups over GER

out they were taken on trucks to their
billets, which were reached at night
time during a rain. The relieved units
were In good health and In good
spirits. The only complaint heard was
that they had mot had enough"
The detachments which have just
returned from duty In the front line
trenches were badly in need of shaves
when they arrived at their billets. On
many faces boards had made q good
start and although the soldiers cared
little about their appearance while in
the trenches their first thought on get

Many American patrols recently
have displayed considerable daring.

that they could hear a German sing
ing and also heard an officer swear
ing at the driver Of supply wagon.

GLORY OF ART STILL LIVES
Despite the War in All Its Bitterness
the More Pleasing Impulses Con-
tinue to Reign Supreme.

One great human interest which
feels the grip Of the war in all its bit
terness and no less in its inspiring
glories, still keeps its place above the
fierce shocks and bewildering changes
of the times. Art thrills to every inn
pulse that stirs the heart and soul of
the world but it does not lose it's hold
on beauty. 1t yearns with sympathy
and glows with fine consciousness of
the best and most that the nations bat
Ting for justice and freedom can give,
but it does not cease to make eternal
principles and purposes its guiding
force, its compass and its chart.
Painters still seek and now and
again find the very soul of natures
varying moods. SculptOrS still carve
cold marble into the image of life and
make it eloquent in it's appeal to
thought and feeling. Musicians still
voice the deepest longings of the spirit
and speak language international
and immortal. Art lives as nature
lives, beyond the power Of the most
fearful commissions Of the worlds fury
to destroy or stun into temporary par
alysis.
It is well that such refuge remains
open to humanity. 1t is mOnstrous
that any nation should wantonly strike
at so beneficent an element in human
life.-Exchange.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd has reported that
German propagandists are now carry

to keep affairs unsettled in the Rus
sian capital. The ambassadors mes
sage said all Americans in Petrograd

London, Nov. 23-An official wire

that General Dukhonin has been de-

continue his duties until the new COM

declared definitely here that not only
is separate peace not desired, but that
the rejection of the armistice proposed

the federal department of justice.
Angered by his failure to make a
living, and with "hate in his heart be-
cause the rich live in luxury without
work." as he phrased 1t, he occupied

RAILROAD MEN COOPERATE
TO WIN PRESENT WAR
DRAFT AGE LIMIT 1877
CroWder Admits Conscription
Act May Be Amended.
Letter to Exemption Boards Predicts
Compulsory Military Training
for Nation.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The first Of
hclal admission that the draft law Is
to be amended and that a plan Is be-
ing considered for calling out youths
down to eighteen years was made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder. In
a circular letter to local and districts
boards General Crowder said:
I'm class " we find the men whom
we shall take as last resort. Before
that class Is reached 1t Is perfectly
safe to say that by the addition Of
other classes as to age, say, those who
have attained twenty-one since reg
fstration day and perhaps. adding
the classes of eighteen and nineteen
and twenty years old, we shall have
included two or three million men in
our available list and thus have saved
class w."
General Crowder's letter hints at
compulsory military training after the
war. Summarizing the lessons learned
In the last few months, he says:
whether Germany has taught us or
whether we have learned 1t ourselves,
we know one thing so clearly and so
well that we will never again have
doubt of it. The volunteer method Of
raising an army for war Is gone. 1t
win never return. The principle of Sc
lection has been tried and proved by
our people. / am led to believe that
they approve 1t with substantial unan-
unity"
The letter makes 1t clear that agri-
cultural and Industrial labor will not
be spared in the draft, although every
effort will De made to tighten the bur-
den on the farm and workshops.

Berlin, Nov. 23.-The SUBMITS of
Monte Fontana and Monte Spinuccla
on the northern Italian front between

mans invading northern Italy reached
a few of the Italian outstanding posi-
tons on the Italian advanced lines on
Monte FOntana Secca. but elsewhere
the TeutOns were repulsed, the war Of
/ flee announced. Three fruitless at
tacks were made by the Teutons at
Monte Pertica, while at the barrier
lines of st. Marino, after bayonet
fighting, the Italian troops took pris-
oners and machine guns.
Headquarters of the Italian Army in
Northern Italy, Nov. 23.-The fourth
Italian army under General Robilant
Is meeting the full force of the tre-
mendous shock the enemy has concen-
trated between the We and Brenta
rivers.
Reports early in the day were satis-
factory, as the main fighting ground
was further north on the enemy's po-
Sitions, though at one point the enemy
succeeded in breaking through the Ital-
Ian lines on the foothills Of Monte Fon-
tana Secca, compelling the reforma-
ton of the defensive lines little fur
ther back.
These fluctuations are marked by
the bloodiest fighting, with the enemy
reserves coming forward for these sue
cessive attacks, which were met at the
point of the bayonet and driven back,
except for one push down the coveted
valley.
Just west of this main field of ac-
don, the italian first army rushed the
enemy positions near the Brenta
river and in two attacks and counter
attacks held the occupied ground,
which was strewn with enemy
corpses.
Reports are coming in from the in
vaded Venetian district Of fearful acts
committed by soldiers, but this is
stated under reserve as it Is impossi-
BILE at present to give confirmation.
