NOTABLES ON PRISON LIST
Caesar, Richard Wagner, Bryan, cleve-
land and Washington Appear on
Registry at Leavenworth.

Did julius Caesar conceive the plan
under which he later ruled Rome while
serving a prison sentence at Leayen-
worth? Did the famous prize fighters,
John l.. Sullivan and Jack Johnson,
prepare for the battles which won them
the championship of the world while
sojourning within these walls? Did
Richard Wagner, the celebrated musi-
clan and composer of "Parsifal," and
other great operas, find the inspira-
tons for their masterpieces in Uncle
Sans largest prison?
Students of history may not find it
recorded so. Neither do their names
appear on the visitors register of this
institution, but rather on the prison
ers record of those who have been
confined here, says writer in the New
Era, published at the Federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth. Among the
names appear many former presidents
orators, generals and musicians or
note, besides that Of the Roman en-
peror. Whether these names repre-
sent merely that many aliases of per-
sons DESTROYS Of keeping their real
identity secret, or whether the name

truth when first registered into the In

Washington.-In an appeal ito the

appeal was prompted by many requests
for statement as to the service wom-

Every woman can render impor-
tant service to the nation in its pres
emit emergency" says the appeal. "She
need not leave her home or abandon
her home duties to help the armed
forces. She can help to feed and
clothe our armies and help supply
food to those beyond the seas by
practicing effective thrift in her own
househild.
every ounce of food the housewife
saves from being wasted in her home
all food which she or her children
produce in the garden and can or pre-
serve-every garment which care and
skillful repair make it unnecessary to
replace-all lessen that households
draft on the already insufficient world
supply. -
ITO save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and properly
balanced meals, which, while nourisli-
ing each member Of the family prop
erly, do not encourage overeating or
offer excessive and wasteful variety.
1t Is her duty to use all effective
methods to protect food from spoilage
by heat, dirt, mice or insects. She
must acquire the culinary ability to
utilize every bit of edible food that
comes into her home. She must learn
to use such foods as vegetables, beans,
peas and milk products as partial sub
stitues for meats. She must make 1t
her business to see that nothing nutri-
tious is thrown away or allowed to be
wasted.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

WashingtOn.-Creat of central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hartman Lever,
financial expert Of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
J. P. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" ne said, "for all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage to face their financial prob
lens. with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have to repu-
date large part Of their debt or face
inability to buy the enormous quaint
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way in the war "by the straightfOr-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold, by selling enormous
masses of American securities, by rails
ing loans." AS result, he predicted
that the end of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.
