"New Blood" Is Called For
In Britain's Diplomacy

LONDON, Jan. 2.~In announcing
that Sir Cecil SpringRice and Lord
BERTHE are on the eve of retiring from
the embassies at Washington and Paris
and in reporting the rumor that Sir
George Buchanan is about to resign
from the Pctrograd post, "The Daily
Chronicle' pleads the urgent need OF
bringing fresh blood into a service
which has long been divorced from the
actuaIities of modern life" The paper
asks whether the government had the
courage to make q. new departure in
filing these important posts.

Constantly Under Fire
in France.

periences That Are Test
for Real Man.

misunderstanding shells are
everyday, everyhour experiences in
the lives Of all soldiers and Y. NJ. G.
A. workers anywhere within % miles
Of the BOche guns. DR. George Louis
Meylan, who has just returned from
France where he was engaged in rec
reatiOn work for the Y. M. G. A.,
threw some strong light on the con-
ditions under which all persons back
of the trenches live-and die. He had
been asked to tell some specific in
stances of "Y" workers under fire in
first-line trenches.
'ThOse over here who have not been
in the war zone must forget their old
time ideas of warfare and it's dan
gers" said Doctor Meylan. Forget
this old idea of open fighting, with
troops battling across plain the size
Of a large athletic field. Modern ar
tillery shoots for miles and is always
shooting. Every person within 20
miles of the trenches is under fire
practically all of the time, yet the re-
ports do not call this a battle. The
reports announce The artillery was
active and that means shells any
where five to twenty-five miles back
Of the trenches.
EARLY in April the Germans made
night raids and their airplanes were
active in bombing. Two Of my Or
ganizers were visiting camps eight or
ten miles back of the front-line
trenches. The Germans kept up the
bombardment for three days during
which time those " men were dodg-
ing shells constantly.
"On.the second day they were in
Foyer de Soldat-One Of the soldiers
recreation huts provided by the French
with 'Y' men in charge-when, within
five minutes two shells struck, one a
few yards away, the other hitting the
hut. The ~ men were thrown down
by the conclusion. 1t seemed a
miracle they were not hit, for soldiers
were killed and wounded all around
them.

SHARE DANGERS
WITH SOLDIERS

1T Is strange that although we have
only about one woman worker to every
hundred men workers, not a single
Y man had been killed up to the
time left France, whereas Hun shells
mad killed two of our women workers,
Miss Crandell and Miss Winona Mar
tin.
I'm certain woods the shells were
dropping so thickly that the French
commander ordered our men to aban-
don their huts. AS the order was not
received until evening, a ~ man of
my acquaintance decided not to leave
until next morning as he wished to
take his stuff. Next morning he was
approaching the hut when q French
officer stopped him to exchange fare
wells. This took little more than a
minute, and the Red Triangle worker
started on his way when q shell ex-
plOded on the path near the hut at the
point where he would have been had
he not been detained.
Close Calls Every Day.
"SOme " workers are having hair
breadth escapes every day, not every
man every day, but each in his time
with a regularity to justify saying
some men every day. Eight of our
men with the Canadians Nhave been
killed, and we cannot expect to escape
unscathed. They work from six
o'clock in the morning until eleven
o'clock at night, seven days a week,
with week off every three months
and many never take their week off.
On one occasion of which I know the
workers were up at three o'clock in
the morning with hot coffee to warm
the French soldiers coming in after
a three-mile wade through mud and
rain. Those Poilus appreciated that.
Many Of our workers slept on the
ground in zero weather this winter,
with nothing but blanket between
them and the frozen earth, and with
no shelter but hut made often of
green lumber which warped, letting
in icy blasts. A test for real man.
II went forward toward the
trenches to meet the American SOL
diers coming back after their baptism
Of fire at Chemin DIES Danes and they
were all eagerness for more. The
Germans had sent picked troops
against them, their strongest men in
brand new equipment, to impress the
Americans that Germany had an
abundance of everything, material
and robust men. Quite contrast to
the ill-equipped emaciated men the
French had taken prisoners. The
Americans gave such good account Of
themselves In this fight that the
French could not praise them enough"

"This amount includes a fine Of 49,
600 pesetas imposed on the Alsatian

REFOREST BARE HILLSIDES
Scarcity Of Timber Moves MINING
Companies In Pennsylvania to
Take Action.

Hazelton, Pa.-The scarcity Of lum.
Der for mine pillars and other mine
uses has led to the creation Of a for
estry department by several of the
large mining companies, one of
which has just reforested Bear Creek
watershed with 5000 white pine and
5000 Norway spruce trees. <
Thirty thousand more trees are in
process Of cultivation at Hugo, Pa, in
the Panther Creek valley. When tim
Der is ready to cut in the vicinity Of
the mines troublesome waits and long
hauls will be eliminated.
More timber in the anthracite region
would stop floods, odd to the water
supply, reduce the drought periods
and enable the anthracite industry to
add to it's output. Many thousands of
acres are available about the mines
for reforestatiOn.

BreadIess Meals Save Wheat.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,


How are you saving wheat? One
way is to serve breadless meals now
and then. Have you ever tried them?
Breadless meals need planning
ahead. You can't take just any menu
and take the bread out and expect the
family to like it. Bread has several
functions in the meal, and fully de-
serves the high opinion which we have
Of it. It is one of our best foods for
fuel, furnishing carbohydrate in the
form of starch and also bodybuilding
protein and mineral substances. But
if the meal contains enough other food
to furnish the starch and the protein
needed why not save the bread?
Try planning your meals so that
these wheat-saving dishes take the
place Of the bread. Potatoes, sweet
potatoes or dasheens-mashed, baked,
boiled or riced-rice, oven-fried corn
meal mush, hominy grits, large hon.
my, baked beans, lima beans, split
peas-all are good served as vege-
tables, with meat and gravy. It is not
necessary to serve more than one OF
these starchy foods at a meal, but
serving two Of them, for instance
well-browned, crusty croquettes or
fried mush (and these can be cooked
in the oven instead Of in the fat ketv
tle) in addition to potatoes or sweet
potatoes, makes the meal more tasty
for many Of US and is an easy way OF
nfx AcsI
question of economy and convenience
the important thing in such case L.
not the number Of cereal foods served,
but the character Of the meal as
whole, which must be truly varied and
not made up almost entirely of any
single type Of food. We must have
other kinds Of food in our diet 10
abundance as well as starchy foods.
Therefore, in planning your bread
less meals make sure that you seryA
an abundance Of fresh vegetables,
such as green cabbage, kale, turni,
tops, onions. onion tops, dandelions
and other green's, asparagus, green
peas, tomatoes, spinach, carrots and
so on, choosing those which are in sea-
son and abundant in your garden or
your market. With q varied meal
planned in the usual way, except that
the servings Of the starchy foods and
the vegetables are larger than usual
to make up for the bread, you can
have a breakfast, dinner or supper
which may be pleasing to the taste and
which will meet the body needs.
There are other food combinations
and dishes which you can take advan-
tage Of in planning the meals with
bread. For instance, you may prefer
to replace part Of your usual allow
ance Of bread with a wheat-saving
dessert. These desserts furnish much
the same food materials as bread, but
in a different form: Rice pudding,
hominy pudding, Indian pudding, tapi-
oca cream or fruit tapioca, cornstarch
pudding, baked bananas (use bananas
which are underripe, because they tire
richer in starch than the ripe ones),
or gingerbread made from the wheat
substitutes.

GERMANS BOAST
OF OWN CRUELTY

(blandura notoria), while the regime
imposed on the English prisoners by
the Germans is one Of extreme rigor,
so that the Germans, with a small
number of prisoners, have secured a
much superior moral effect.
Besides, to the 1894 officers and
o1,325 soldiers, must be added the sew
eral thousand English prisoners that
have died in consequence of disease,
scanty food and other accidents in
German concentration camps"
The figures regarding British ,pris-
oners, 1t is explained, refer to the total
prior to the recent drive in Picardy and
Flanders.

Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted to War Conditions II
Nation ls to Play Its
Part In Conflict.

Washington, d. C.-To save mate
rtals and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans ito buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
"This war is one of nations-not of
armies" said the president, "and all
Of our 1OO,OOO,OOO people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions If this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
'The problem before us Is not pIi-
marily financial problem, but rather
problem of increased production Of
war essentials and the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture Of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation. all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton Of young and old in national
thrift movement. I therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary Of the treasury, to the practice Of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary TO the winning
Of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials Of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More v. S. Securities"
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them,
within the reach Of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter Is
wide open to all Of us.
Il appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
eminent.
Il earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy Gs regularly as possible
the securities Of the government.
1.-THE 2Sth Of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army of production and saving
here at home. May there be none un.
enlisted on '>at day."
