BRITISH MAN POWER BILL
PASSES SECOND STAGE
vanced BY 323 to 100 w. in
Commons,

London, April 1.-THE House Of
Commons has passed the second read
ing of the governments man power
bill. The vote was 323 to 100.
In moving the second reading of the
bill Sir George Cave, Unionist mem.
Der for Surrey, said it was the duty
of the country to do everything II
could do and then only should it be
entitled to use to the fullest extent
the help given by its Allies. Germany
had made Europe an armed camp
he added, and the necessity of taking
every man who could be spared was
overwhelming.
Sir George declared that he had
been advised that the application OF
the manpower bill to Ireland would
yield large number of men, but II
only five divisions could be got from
Ireland it would be worth while.
The speaker added that even il
there was an Irish parliament today
the question Of consumption in Ire
land would still rest with the imperial
parliament.

GETTING VARIETY IN POTATO
DIET

Potatoes are usually baked, boiled,
or steamed. Less often they are fried
or escalloped. Great variety may be
given to this vegetable by the use of
different favoring materials. The pro-
portions in the suggestions given are
for six medium sized potatoes. Well
mashed potatoes may be served plain, or
Mixed with 4 tableshpoonfuls Of graf
ed cheese
Mixed with tablespoonful cooked
bacon, cut fine
xed with tablespoonful chopped
pimento
Mixed with l tablespoonful cooked
chopped Onion
Whipped with well-beaten egg

Onions that have been frozen over
winter must be used as soon an they
thaw out. As soon as they get soft
they begin to decay.
Eat two potatoes instead of one and
use less meat. You will be better OF
and the soldiers will have more bacon.
If your order of nursery stock comes
before you are ready to plant, heel it in
for few days. Cut the bundle open
and spread out the plants in trench,
packing the dirt we'll about the roots.
It is good plan to cover half or TIVE
thirds of the shrub in order that it may
not dry out.-LeRoy Cady, associate

PAY FOR CAPTIVE OFFICERS.
United States and Germany Finally
 Agree on Schedule.

The United States and Germany through negotiations conducted by the Spanish Ambassador at Berlin, have agreed to pay stated monthly sums to all officers held as prisoners of war. This agreement may be revised by the conference on the general subject of prisoners of war, now in progress at Berne, Switzerland.
 The agreement followed negotla- tions lasting nearly year. Germany declined to pay American officers such salaries as they receive from the United States, while the American government was not willing to accept for it's officers the paltry pay of the Germans.
 The Compromise finally agreed upon provides that first and second leuten- ants and officers of corresponding grade in the German army shall re- ceive $S3.35 a month; and captains and officers of higher grade of either army shall receive $95.25 month. Officers not included in either of these two classes shall receive $55.56 a month.
 German officers held prisoner by the United States were paid regularly until November, 1917; when the gov ernment learned that American off 1 cer officers held prisoner by Germany were not being paid.

TURKEY ON EVE
 OF PEACE APPEAL
London Believes German Failure to Send Military
 Aid Will Precipitate It.

London, Oct 1.-The Turkish situa- tion was described in well-informed diplomatic circles here yesterday morning as moving" whereas in the same quarters TWO days ago it was de- clared to. be stagnant. No official ac- tion however, has been taken, and the British officials are contenting themselves with watching the unoffi- cial developments.
 The opinion is freely expressed that a definite appeal will come from Tur- key wit it is forcibly brought to her attention that Germany is unable to longer strengthen her army or check her continued losses.
 There is every indication, diplomats say, that instead of Germany threat ening Turkey, as was reported a fortnight ago when Bulgaria was wavering, Turkey is now threatening Germany. This has resulted in an eff fort by Germany to get some troops to Turkey, but the size of the forces to be sent or what success has been made in transporting it Is not known. Reports that the Central Powers have sent a large fofce to Sofia, the Bulgar- 1 ian capital, are discredited on all sides A diplomat familiar with Turkey | points out that it will take the great est pressure on Enver Pasha, a strong 1 pro German, to get him to make peace 1 proposals. Reports that Turkey took up with Gerany the question of Tur- keys requesting peace are character
 izemd as Intelligent anticipation, '
 evidently emanating from the de- mands Turkey made for military help. Failure to get this help, which Ger
 many, it seems, will not be able to l give, and further Teuton reverses on
 the western front are sure to bring 1 proposals from Turkey, according to
 belief in the best informed circles

LACK OF PRAISE
 SLIGHT TO HAIG
Should Immediately Re ceive Congratulations of
 British Government.

London. Oct 4.-The Chronicle, in reviewing the work of Sir Douglas fIaig and tie forces under him dur ing the past two months, expresses astonishment that he has not received the official concentrations of the British government, and says:
 ''Sir Douglas Haig's initial victory, on Aug 8. first turned the general balance decisively in the Allies fa- vor. The second battle of the Marne had, as 1t were, pushed back up to a dividing ridge line the boulder which the enemy were rolling down on the Allies. It was on Aug. that we started rolling 1t down the other side on the heads of the enemy. Both the conception and execution of this un- ,precedented victory were those of the British commander in chief, and the splendid way in which he followed up and developed its consequences con formally with the masterly strategy of Marshal Foch, between whom and himself the best possible relations have always subSisted, entities him to very high rank, indeed, among the successful commanders of this or any ether war. The British successes on t.e west front since Aug. 8 are, in so- Der fact, much the greatest in scale ever won by British army or a British General, and Sir Douglas Haig, who has borne the tremendous responsibilities of the present year deserves no less than the full measure of credit.
 "In these circumstances, 1t is i'm possible not to marvel at ani to de- plore the strange omission whereby he has never yet received the congratu- 1ations of the Prime Minister and Wal Cabinet on his brilliant series of vie. tories. In former battles the organ izers and leaders have always beer promptly congratulated. Within the period under review, General Pershine and General A1lenby received the off cial congratulations of the British government, and MT. Lloyd George has congratulated Marshal F'och. Thi! is not a personal matter solely; it re fleets on the British army in France as well as on its commander, and tht Slonger the delay in giving the recog hilton which has been so richly earned, the more ungracious will tha Q recognition seem when it comes, as i is bound to come, when Parliamen meets, if not before"

FOLK DANCING
 IN WAR ZONE

Folk dancing is one of the latest innovations in the way of amusement and recreation for the men at the from the other side.
 Miss Daking of London, a member of the English Folk Dance Society, go- ing to the front lines with a concert society, arranging entertainments for the men, with the help of Y. M. c. A. workers, whom she had previously instructed, gave an exhibition of folk dancing to an audience of 1000 men one afternoon. That evening 1,500 men witnessed the dancing, their heavy military boots keeping time to the tuneful, rhythmic music. Asked to join in the dancing, they did so at once. There were only simple move ments to the time of the music, with no elaborate steps to learn.
 | Drill instructors and commanding officers became interested, and a med ] ical officer, looking for a means of relieving the monotony of physical drill, which he found tired the men without promoting their enjoyment took over the folk dance. He tried them for two hours at certain con- valescent camps, and the results more than surpassed his expectations Commanding officers becoming con vinced of the moral and physical aa~ vantage to the men, had the figures practced to the notes of the band. Squads practiced under the direction of sergeants, qualified as instructors, and the groups finally performed to- gether, the sergeant major usually taking the parade. The men were eager in their attendance at extem- pore dances held in Y. M. c. A. huts and other available buildings and enjoyed the dances hugely. Dances are now organized with great success on railroad platforms, where troop trains are waiting and demonstrations l have been given in camps of mine sweepers and aviators. New centers are constantly being formed and eX- pert teachers are holding normal classes for officers and privates.
