Food Value of Nuts.

In connection with the campaign for
gathering nut shells for gas masks, II
should be borne In mind that nuts are
among the richest and most wholesome
of our foods. Wherever possible the
kernels of the native nuts should be
added to the home supply Of foods.
The hard shells, not the husks, Of
black walnuts, butternuts, hickory
nuts, Persian (English) walnuts, Jap
anese walnuts and the seeds Of such
fruits as peaches, plums, prunes, april.
cots and olives are exceedingly useful
in the making of carbon for gas masks
The shells of pecans- and almonds can.
not be used.
Seven pounds Of hard nut shells, or
two hundred peach pits, will make
enough carbon for one gas mask
Thousands of tons of coconut shells
and shells of cohune nuts from tropical
America, and carloads of fruit pits
from the Pacific coast are being used.
Still the supply is not sufficient.
Nuts which cannot readily be
cracked, those which have become stale
with nge, or those which have failed
to develop plump kernels should be
turned over to the Red Cross. Black
walnuts and butternuts which are not
to be cracked may be sent in without
removing the outer husk. Arrange
ments for gathering and shipping nuts,
nut shells and fruit pits can be made
through the local Red Cross.

ENEMY PEOPLES IN
DESPERATE STRAITS FOR
FOOD, HOOVER SAYS

London, July 24.-Speaking at a
luncheon given in his honor by the
lord mayor at the Mansion House
Herbert c. Hoover, the American
food administrator, gave a most re-
assuring review of the food situa'
ton.
I'VE can say emphatically that
all anxiety asto the great essentials
of food is now past" Mr.. Hoover
declared.
Taking broad view" Mr.. Hoov-
er continued:
cone outstanding and dominating
fact is perceived within the enemy
lines: namely, hunger.
"The conquered people, already
hungry, are being slowly but surely
starved, and their loss of lite
through starvation during the pc
Rod before the next harvest will be
far larger than all the casualties on
the western front.
"In seeking President Wilson's
counsel as to the conference OF
food officials now in progress, i
received from him this statement OF
our point of view in all our food
negotiations:
"'The American people will glad
ly and willingly make any sacrifice
in consumption and in the produc-
ton of foodstuffs that will main
tain the health, comfort and the
courage of the people of the allied
countries. We are, in fact, eating
at the common table with them"

BY Lieut. Roberto de Violini, OF the
Sixth Alpini Regiment. and Military
Attache of the Italian Con
sulate. Chicago.

Editorial Note-Following is al
analysis of the present situation or
the Italian front by Lieut. Roberto
de Violini recently arrived in tins
country from the front. where he
was severely wounded. He has ap-
pearcd in several cities and before
leading clubs and societies, showing
interesting pictures taken on the
battle lines. He is fluent and
brilliant speaker. This analysis ac-
companying the map will give our
readers a very clear idea OF present
positions and situations in ltaly)
News is given that three German
army corps (about 10000 mem are
going to be used as spearhead tor a
new Austrian drive for the plains OF
Italy-Ludendorff himself is study
ing the positions and giving his
golden advice to his heroic allies.
OF course, if an offensive in Italy
is meant to succeed at all 1t must be
made in the mountains, using the
Trentino wedge as its concentrating
and starting point.
On the entire Italian front hold
ing the mountains means holding
the plains beyond, and the Austrian
strategists know this well. Their
recent offensive on the Piave was
especially meant to call away our
troops in the mountains so as TO en-
able them to step on there, and get
us to retreat at least up to our next
river west (the Aidgc), thereby los
ing Venice, Padua, Trevise, Vicen-
"a and Verona.
The Trentino wedge in Italy was
besides kept there on purpose at
the time of our peace treaty IN looe
and has always been pet tor Aus
trian generals with regard to the
much hoped for invasion OF Italy
1t has beeen the subject OF special

entered Gorilla, the supposed un-
prcgnable Austrian fortress on the
Corso Tableland.
The weakest point OF the entire
Italian front remains, however, the
Trentino. The valleys that spread

Ludendoufs Offensive
On Italian Battle Front

from Trento down to the Italian
plain, form series of tentacles mem
acing Italy through seven different
capital points, whilst their origin is
only single one. This allows a
sevcnfold numerical advantage to
the Austrian invaders. Austrian
troops can be concentrated in Tren-
to, and brought there straight from
Germany through the Innsbruck
line, and from Austria through the
Leibach and klangenfurth line.
Thence they can quickly and uncx-
pectedly be launched through any
of the seven roadbeds facing them,
thus obliging the defenders to keep
at the issue of each valley enough
strength withstand the eventual as
sault of the entire concentrated
Austrian and German forces.
1t is much too hard for the Ital-
ians and it would entail too danger
Gus a loss of time to shift troops
west or east over the mountains
from one vally to the other in order
to meet the emergency; so it IS
necessarily the unflinching valor of
the troops which are doomed to be
in any sector much inferior in num-
bcrs to their assailants, that Will
stop the enemys greed.
The Italian general staff has time
ly taken appropriate measures by
closing" these valleys before they
became dangerously weak. So the
Val Giudcaria has been SO strongly
closed by Monte Corno, Gina Pal
lone and Monte Melino that the
Huns thought wise never to attempt
drive that way, in spite OF the
fact that it would have led into the
very heart of war-working Italy,
with Brescia and Milan as its near
est objectives.
Much More Coveted Point
Val Lagarina is much more Gov
eted point of entrance, but it is
closed just below Rovereto by means
of the Altissimo and the COM Zug-
ma, besides being menaced by most
powerful natural and artificial tor
tifications further south. Corni Zug-
ma, the Pasubio and Monte Majo
take care of Van Atsa and Val di
Tcrrangnolo, whilst Monte Cimone
and Cengio blockade Val dAstico.
Recent fightings have made the
Sisemo and Col del Rosso quite ia
nous, they are together with the
Asolone- Grappa Tomba trio, be
tween the Brcnta and the Piavc riv-
ers, the most important strongholds
of the entire Italian front, since they
form its corner point and the key
for any successful drive.
General Ludendorff is studying
hard to find the best way to get IN,
but it would be more advisable tor
him to study the best and quickest
way back, because that is the only
one he will have to use if he really
intends to rub his soldiers against
Italian bayonets. The lesson OF the
fall of 1917 has pro6ited to the ut
most and after our infantry gave
the Austrians such thorough lick
ing, the Alpini are certainly anxi-
Gus to give the great Germans no
less worthy reception.
