WAR FOSTERS ECONOMIES
Man Who Refuses TO DO Without Fav-
orite Pudding Puts Car i'm Storage.

New York sun: war economy mas
taken almost as many forms as 1t has
practitioners.
one man who stubbornly refuses to
do without his favorite bread pudding
and other delicacies of white flour has
put his flivver in storage for the dura-
tion of the war.
A New York man has been eating
war bread since the beginning of the
war, but he loudly and on some occas-
ions profanely expresses the opinion
that women who knit in the subways
are suffering from war hysteria and
should be made to wear themselves
the strange products Of their needles.
A great number have not as yet
made any attempt to cut down the sup
ply of white bread and beef, but are
cutting down in their living expenses
in other ways and putting their savings
into liberty bonds.
One of the most popular means OF
saving money is to shun the subway
elevated and surface lines for all trips
of comparatively short distances. The
result is that many business men are
walking to work and many women are

heard TO grumble except about the fact
that no mail from home was waiting
for him. Every one declared enthusias'
tically that the firing OF shells at the
Boche would be "fine business" All
were anxious to go back again.
No American Hurt.
In the command there was not one
casualty despite the length OF its stay
at the front and the fact that the enc

eral times. The officer said the night
the American trench was raided the
artillery got into action quickly and
poured "A counter.barrage into No Mans
Land. They were sure they prevented
all the Germans from reaching the
trenches and that some Of the Germans
never got back alive.
The members OF the crew which
fired the first shot at the Germans ad'
mitted that they enjoyed the experience
greatly. One gunner remarked that he
would rather have had the experience
and honor as buck private" than to
be a major general The crew is com
posed of youngsters. They came from
South Bend, New York, Minneapolis.
Baltimore, New Orleans and
Arizona.
After short rest this artillery con-
tingent will be sent TO other camps to
instruct other artillerymen who have
not vet been at the front.

walking more on shopping trips and In
making calls. AS yet however, the
subway during rush hours gives no In
dication that the number OF converts
TO shanks' mare Is overwhelming.
Although the great majority Of peo.
pie do not seem To be eating less, no
mean number have stopped eating at
restaurants and now save their appe-
tites for use at home at more moderate
prices.
The number of trips To the movies
per week or month has also been cut
down by some families, but this meth
cd OF saving is unanimously condemned
by the younger generation.
A great many people are willing TO
sacrifice their usual recreations and
devote the time to some form OF war
work, but the authorities are up against
a hard problem when they try to find
work which can be done by eager but
unskilled volunteers. one of the best
things done by these volunteers Is
seeing that the families. of men who
volunteered or refused to claim exemp-
ton are not suffering want in the alb
sence of their providers.
One man has forsworn, baseball till
the war is won. devoting the proceeds
of his sacrifice to athletic goods for the
soldiers.
Another has laid away his camera for
the duration of the war, and one man
was even found who had not smoked
for a week. his intention being TO buy
smokes for the soldiers instead Of him
self till the end of the war. The man
was one of the most emphatic in urg'
ing an energetic prosecution of the war.

would amount to s3,l07 100000. But

u. S. ARTILLERYMEN
POUND THE ENEMY
AND ENJOY THE WORK
By the Associated Press)

with the American Army in France
Wednesday, Nov THE first Ameri'
can artillery unit TO establish contact
with the Germans came back to its
billets today. The men were tired and
muddy but still as enthusiastic n lot
OF soldiers as ever came out OF gun
pits. The artillery had a longer stay
at the front than the infantry and they
came back men and horses wet To the
dome. covered with mud and ready TO
sleep.
Their "home coming" is one that will
long be remembered i'm this section Of
the line. 1t was late day when the long
lines OF marching soldiers and strain.
ing horses were seen rounding n small
mountain many miles away. From the
village toward which they were march.
ing the column could be seen winding
around the mountain TO the valley up
on a nearer hill and then down again.
Rain POurs on Them.
The rain was beating in their faces
and village snuggled in valley came
into their view as they crossed the
crest of the hill. Here stood a group
in uniform. Above the group floated
the American flag and a number Of
children gathered about. Suddenly the
band-for the group of uniforms was
a band-started a tune that brought a
smile TO the face of even the most
tired artilleryman in the column. 1t
was The Campbells Are Coming"
Some of the artillerymen cheered and
the bearers Of the red battery pennants
raised themselves in their saddles and
waved the pennants.
The entire command was drawn up
Immediately on a hillside and a gun
covered with camouflage paint was
drawn out in front on the gun shield
an artilleryman had written in chalk:
THE first gun for the Germans"
The colonel in command spoke to one
of the townspeople a moment, and then
addressing the men told them the peo-
pie of the village wished to do honor to
the gun and its crew and to the
American army. The children gather
ed around and placed a floral wreath
over the grim barrel and a bunch of
wild flowers inside the empty case of
the first shot fired. The regimental
band then played the American and
French national anthems.
Cheers French POpulace.
That was all the ceremony, but the
sight of Americans returning from COM
bat with the Germans cheered the
populace of the village so that when
the troopers dismounted many old men
and women came up to them to shake
hands or to put their arms affection
ately around their shoulders. There is
not much sentiment in the makeup of
an American artilleryman. His idea is
that he is in France to fight, so it took
a moment or two for the men to decide
to accept the demonstration of appro-
val. Even when this was done. the
Americans were more or less embar-
rassed and many whose business for
some days had been confined to killing
Germans actually blushed.
