The people of this country don't
know the terms of sec1et treaties eN-

advantages which each is expected 20

purpose of prolonging the war to an
mex new territory. either in Europe or
outside of Europe. nor enforce pay

of a common fund provided by all
belligerents to assist in the restora-
ton OF any portions of territory of
any countries most seriously devastat
ed by war. for establishment of an
international commission to decide

FRENCH SAY
FRITZ LOSES
FIGHT SPIRIT

FRENCH HEADQUART-
ERS, Aug. 1.-THE Germans
are figuring on the possibility
of the British and French Of
fensive in Flanders forcing
them to retreat to their next de-
fensive line. Desperate hope
of retaking positions permit
ing an eventual retreat north
ward from Aisne and Cham
pagne inspired the German
crown prince to violent assault
against the French it appeared.
Profiting by a temporary
lull in the Flanders battle, the
crown prince has resumed at
tacks along both the Chemin
Des Danes and Moronvillers
crests. Unless the crown prince
drives the French from these
two dominating positions be-
fore the results of the Flanders
battle forces a shortening of
the German front the French
will be able to cut off any at
tempt of the German center to
retreat. The German morale is
weakening. The constant sur
render of attacking Germans
indicated this. The French
have imprisoned many in al
most every attack. The cap
ture of assaulting troops is ex-
tremely rare.

Psychology and the War.

Prof. G. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject of applied psychology on Il
high plane In relation to the war. He
states
Whatever system has been EN-
ployed, 1t is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which 1t was never possible
10 attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroiSm
and daring aud have submitted TO
more punishment than in any pre-
NOUS war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking a panic This has
unqucstionably been due to the sys
tenn Of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as well think
Of going to war without lrSt-claSs mil
itary equipment as without knOwE
edge OF applied psychology. The Coun-
ell of National Defense seems TO have
recognized this: and the National Re
search council within that body WILL |
understand, contain representative
psychologists"

Communal Kitchens.

II IS expected that, with the assent
of the food controller Of Great Brit
ain, an experiment in the use of COM
munal kitchens will be in vogue very
soon. The need for these aids to the
feeding of the people is threefold /;
the large number of families who are
unable, through ill-health or other
causes, to participate in the economic
advantages of the war; the difficulty
of obtaining suitable and nourishing
food for children and the necessity
Of having an organization like this In
direct touch with the central headquar-
tiers. The food once cooked ut the
central kitchen would be sent out in
large tin-lined boxes or double cans
to the various depots for sale, and in
these big, closed receptacles 1t would
keep hot long time. At the depots IT
might be well to supply hot plates for
the food to stand on SC that when
bought it would need little reheating
before ii was served, says Londo2
correspondent. The demand for va
riety Of diets can all be met, and
plans have already been thought out
for dealing with a thOusand-and-one
interesting questions that arise.

WASHINGTON cow FEED TEST
Increased Milk Flow Secured by Feed
ing Beet Pulp Mostened With
Five Parts Water

In an experiment at the Washington
station, cows fed beet pulp, moistened
with five parts by weight of water.
consumed the feed with considerable
relish and rapidly increased in milk
yield during n two-week period Al
though 1t was difficult to accustom the
cows to eating the feed AT first, later
they would eat from six 10 eight
pounds more of the soaked pulp than
they would of corn sllage. The gem
eral condition Of the cows fed the beet
pulp was comparable with that of
those fed corn silage, and there was
no appreclable difference In their
weights. Since their feeding value is
about the same, It appears that the ex-
tended use of beet pulp as substl-
tute for silage depends largely on the
relative cost Of producing and preserv.
Ing and the cost of dried beet pulp.
